Chapter 1261 Lucky or Unlucky?

With the last of the hatching out of the way, the fairy store manager approached Liam with a look of respect on his face. “Grandmaster, your selection today has been nothing short of miraculous. The system shop is honored to have been a part of this event. If there’s anything further we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to ask.”

Liam was now a proud owner of a Phoenix, a Golden Thunderhawk, an Azure Serpent, a Star Gazer, and a Frost Wyrm. A person had actually gambled at the beast egg counter and won five impossible beast eggs! What a heaven-defying luck!

With this the transaction was complete and Liam was swept aside by the crowd almost immediately. “Move aside! Move aside! The Baruga clan is buying the eggs!”

“Move it bitch! I was here first!”

“Hey butterfly, have you forgotten what young master asked you? Pack up all the eggs.” 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮

All sorts of commotion erupted as complete chaos ensued in the area. Everyone was pushing each other to reach the beast egg counter. The place that no one bothered to visit and was generally considered one big scam, suddenly became so popular that every single person wanted to make multiple purchases.

Everyone wanted a piece of the miraculous luck he had just displayed, hoping to replicate his success.

The fairy store manager and his staff were overwhelmed, trying to maintain order among the clamoring masses. The once quiet and almost desolate corner of the shop was now the center of attention, with individuals from various backgrounds and powers vying for their chance at obtaining a legendary beast.

But how could things progress smoothly? While Liam had popped one legendary beast after another, the rest did not turn out be as lucky. The few people at the front who eagerly opted for the egg scanning and waited for the result with bated breaths were utterly disappointed when their beast egg hatched into a big fat nothing.

All sorts of common and rare beasts started popping out including dire wolf and mountain lion. Paying one million high grade mana cores for such trash was akin to burning up their money for fun, aka gambling.

“Why is none of my beast eggs legendary?”

“You have got to be kidding me! I did not even get an epic ranked beast?”

“This is complete bullshit! You are cheating obviously! I demand my money back!”

The discontent escalated rapidly, voices of anger and frustration filling the space. The once eager faces now twisted in disappointment and rage. Accusations flew, directed at the store staff, the system shop, and at times, even at Liam, who had unknowingly sparked this frenzy.

The store manager, a look of distress clear on his face, tried to calm the crowd. “Please understand, the nature of gambling means that not everyone can win. The results are entirely random, and the system shop does not influence them in any way.”

But his words were like oil to fire, inciting further uproar. Security guards struggled to maintain a semblance of order as individuals, blinded by their losses, refused to listen to reason.

And then it happened. All of a sudden, a loud thunder clap reverberated in the shop, instantly silencing the rowdy crowd. Sparks of purple lightning flashed on the store ceiling and three customers who had gone overboard and dared to attack the staff were instantly zapped.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Everyone became dumbfounded. In a frenzy many had forgotten about the system’s punishment for going overboard on neutral areas. The system was ruthless. When the punishment landed, their family background and world details did not matter as they were mercilessly zapped to a near death state.

Everyone quickly backed away as even the spill over from the attack was extremely vicious. The chaos and commotion completely died down and now three bodies groaned and moaned on the floor, no one daring to go near them.

They were maimed so badly that no one could even see what race they belonged to or who they were. Their bodies were riddled with numerous injuried and if they were not treated immediately, they were likely to die.

After the moment of shock, the companions of the three bodies shrieked and ran over to them, dumping several healing items and trying to revive them. The others pitifully watched the scene.

Slowly order resumed. People once again rushed to the beast egg counter to make purchases, though this time in an orderly fashion.

Liam could see the two lackeys of the Horned-tribe young master come back to the counter to make another big batch of egg purchases. They were also testing all the eggs on the scanner, only to find out that results were absolutely horrible.

The scion of the Horned-tribe apparently had enough resources to buy several batches of beast eggs one after the other, non-stop. Liam curiously eyed the newly arrived eggs but he could see that none of them had any decent soul strength like the first batch he had seen.

A couple of eggs were epic-grade and other than that, there was nothing extraordinary. Young maser Kael’s face turned ugly as he suddenly looked like a fool who had sunk loads and loads of mana cores and got nothing in return.

Several people snickered at his plight, taking joy in his misery. Liam was also not an exception. Several onlookers mocked him too, wondering where he was going to find resources to nurture not one but five legendary beasts. 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Many guessed that he was most probably going to be hunted down because of these very same beasts. So in the end, they called him unlucky and not lucky. Some even openly declared to take away the beasts right from his hand before he even left Nymphomania.

Rey, Lan Deming and Madan looked uneasy, cold sweat dripping down their backs. Liam, however, remained calm. He did not mind the threats so much but the question of where he was going to find resources to nurture five legendary beasts and one Luna did indeed linger heavily in his mind.
