[Notice- The Cash Item Shop, Gachapon, is now available! Come and test your luck!]
I reread the announcement then clicked the link underneath the notice. This took me to the cash item store where you could buy different items that isn't available to buy or earn in game. There was a item shop where a player can buy different things from separately. The player that bought these items was pretty much guaranteed to received them. However on the other side a few pages down was a completely different story, this is called the Gachapon.
The Gachapon was a RNG based purchasing system. This meant your chance on obtaining the specific item that was special in that particular Gacha was all based on luck. Luck was something not all players possessed, which is why most casual players never chose to spend money on this page of the Cssh Item Shop. Only the most power hungry players attempted gachas.
However, due to the low chances of winning these specific items they were the rarest in the YGGDRASIL's Item Cash Shop. Now, most may be questioning 'why I was so hyped about the Cash Shop's release?'. This would require one to think back to when I was talking with the Angel. Back then the angel said a specific line that played a major role in this. "I'll also allow you to have a certain boost but nothing to truly change the universe you will be sent to.", Were the words stated by the angel.
However, what she allowed for me to use, which she classified as "A boost but nothing to truly change the universe" was an unlimited amount of money for REAL currency purchases. UNLIMITED: 'not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent.', if she classified this as a boost that won't help me change the universe, she has been very much mistaken...hahahaha.
I cackle loudly due to my excitement and started to rub my hands together, this lifted my cloth-like body's cover slightly. I started off inside of the normal Cash Shop first getting everything inside of the shop. I purchased as many things as I can, especially the creators tool, I made sure to get huge amounts for that since I knew that I would need them in the future. I mean you can't really blame me right? I literally have unlimited money, I've never had so much money before....besides I may need these items.
Though I did purchase everything, I made sure to only buy stacks of 30 apiece when it came to the limited quantity items... We don't wanna butcher the timeline now, do we? I continued doing this for some time just buying mass amounts of these pay 2 win items until I came across a pretty rare item.
The item itself was a book called [ Spellbook of Merlin ] however what caught my eye was the quantity and the description.
-----------------------------------
[ Spellbook of Merlin ]
~The Grimoire of the fabled Wizard, Merlin. This spellbook records the knowledge and experiences of the Wizard. It's stated that if one read this book they would become very proficient in new magic.~
Item's Use: This Cash Item expands the player's max amount of spells useable by 100.
------------------------------------
My eyes widen. This item is really good, If I remember correctly it stated in the novel that there was an item that could enlarge the limit of spells useable to a player by 100, This must be it. I quickly purchase this item and add it to my inventory.
Unfortunately, this item is only 1 per player so I can't buy multiple of them. Well, at least this will boost my total spells, anyway let's continue spending our limitless cash.
Now that I finished buying all of the regular cash items from the shop I scroll down towards the gachas. There were multiple gachas to test your luck in, normal try hard players would drop their money into only one of these gachas due to the low chances. However- I pause and smile widely, I have tons of money to throw away.
I went through each gacha 'not testing my luck', instead I was testing just how long it took for me to get the special item. Each time I didn't receive the special item I still got a cash item that was still useful to me like the [ Hourglass ] or the [ Exchange Puppet ].
The first special cash item I got was a legendary class item called [ Prosperity and luck ] which was a medalian. It took me roughly about 35-40 rerolls until I finally got it. This cash item increased the drop rate when killing monsters however it wasn't a permanent effect. This only lasted for 6 days, fortunately, the 6 days were IRL time instead of in-game time. This meant that the time would be much longer for me, gotta love the benefits of being stuck in a game. I chuckled to myself. This will definitely help me in getting higher class data crystals when I start farming.
The next thing I started rerolling for was an skill called [ Dark Hole ] which allowed me to store much more in my Inventory Box beyond it's limit. Additionally, this gave me a cosmetic inventory that summoned a dark hole in front of me each time I wanted to take out and or storage items.(Basically just like Ainz Dark hole inventory in the anime)
The final and last Gacha that is available right now is a summon. The summon is a { High-Class Dragon }. Now this took a long time to get, not going to lie. This gacha alone took me a total of 200 rerolls to finally receive it. Just imagining how much money this would have taken me if not for the angel's help is making me shiver.
However, it is worth it due to the bonuses that come with it. The dragon is in a data crystal form because it gives the player a option to customize the dragon and due to it's data capacity it even allows the player to upgrade the class of the dragon. This means if I choose to farm data crystals and rare materials for this dragon I can push this it to the highest class.
Of course I did not only roll for all these special items and monster one time. The results of my rerolls is this.
[ Prosperity and luck ] 66x
[ Dark Hole ] 30x
{ High-Class Dragon } 2x
Each of the items was a one-time use item, which meant that once I used them they would disappear and I wouldn't be able to use that item again. I made sure to get as many [ Prosperity and Luck ] items because they were the most needed. I grabbed 30x [ Dark Hole ] because my inventory is already big on default, adding so much space is good and all but I got bored rerolling.
The { High-Class Dragon } drop rate was so tremendously low that I didn't get a third one even after 500 pulls. I decided to give up and try another time. Maybe I will have the RNG gods on my side at that time.
Now finished with the cash shop I decided to close the virtual game window. I immediately used all my [ Dark Hole ] and enlarged my Inventory storage space. Additionally, I pulled out the item [ Spellbook of Merlin ] and imbued mana into the book, which activate the item. The spell book glowed yellowish-white then disappeared into a million pieces. The rest of the items, I put up until I needed to use them. I've done enough money spending for today. *Sigh* never would I have thought there would come a day where I was tired of spending money.
