The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 50 : under the name of the evil god (2) ＞

I found the banner and touched the shop button as if possessed by a ghost.

tuk.

As soon as I pressed the button, the screen went dark for a moment, and then the ＜Paid Goods Store＞ page came to mind.

79,900 won for 10 draws.

It was the same price as usual, but there was one other factor as of today.

It was an explanatory text in small letters that was newly added just below the draw button.

– If 10 draws are held within the event period, a draw ticket that allows for an additional 10 draws will be given.

– The 10 Draw Ticket can only be received once for the first time during the event period.

As stated on the banner, they were really running a payback event.

In the meantime, I thought that the developer knew how to forget the back of the user and was completely building a wall with the event.

Who would have imagined that a summer event would be held like this?

I looked at the shiny draw button, admiring the unexpected event.

“They know how to prepare an event like this.”

If you spin the 10th lottery, you will receive an additional 10th draw ticket through the event.

In other words, it was said that 20 draws were possible for 79,900 won, which is the cost of 10 draws.

Even if you keep turning the lottery, it will not give you the ticket indefinitely, but just drawing 10 times was a sufficient benefit.

If you were going to run the draw, it was natural to run the draw while the event was in progress.

I ended the game with a pounding heart at the first event.

“I’ll just check the balance and return it right away.”

Then, I ran the bank application and checked the remaining balance in the account.

I was going to start the draw right away after checking how much was left in my account.

tock.

My finger, which was running the application, stopped in place when facing the balance.

“……”

Read the balance printed on the screen slowly from the front.

The amount remaining in the account is strange.

Flash. Flash.

I rubbed my eyes at the unbelievable amount and looked back at the screen.

However, even if I closed and opened my eyes several times, the numbers on the screen did not change.

The balance is significantly lower than before.

I looked at the number with bewildered eyes in the reality that there was only a smaller amount left than expected.

“Why don’t you have so much money?”

When I came to my senses, my balance was shattered.

To be precise, it was a situation where I had broken through my psychological marginal line and went down slightly below it.

It seemed that the money was leaking from here and there without me noticing.

Of course, just because I have such a question, the money that was taken out of the account will not come back.

I couldn’t help but worry as I looked at the bankbook that had become devastated.

“Ha… This is truly an all-time great event.”

If you spin 10 draws, you can draw 10 more times.

It was an ambitious event prepared by the developer who raised the price of the 10th lottery whenever he had a chance.

If you miss an event like this once, you never know when it will come back.

Will you save money on hand?

Or will it reduce consumption in the future?

A cup of ramen rolled on the floor came into my sight as I was struggling with sticking to the floor.

“… should I just cut down on food expenses?”

A plan to cut food expenses came to my mind when I saw the cup noodles.

It’s a thought I think of whenever the time for billing comes, but it was always an idea that I always considered first.

If you cover all your meals with cup noodles for just a few days, you will be able to raise enough money to win the lottery.

Where else in the world could there be a way in the world to raise financial resources as rationally as this?

Anyway, it was an amazing idea.

“I have to put it into practice right now.”

It is impossible to abandon the 10 draw event, which gives 100% payback for just a few meals.

After I made up my mind, I immediately started the game.

tyring.

When I launched ＜Paid Goods Store＞, a shiny draw button greeted me once again.

If you decide to live on ramen alone, there is no need to hesitate any longer.

Kwok.

I strongly clicked the draw button that was shining in the middle of the screen.

And with a bright light, the draw items started to be output one by one.

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

Looking at the screens that were moving sequentially, I couldn’t help but grab the back of my neck after checking the final result.

From the beginning to the end of the 10th draw, only [Stylish Tunic] came out.

As a result of the nonsensical drawing, swear words naturally came out of my mouth.

From a probabilistic point of view, it was absurd.

How is it that only the same item pops up 10 times in a 10 draw?

The probability of drawing the best hand in poker will be much higher than this.

“No, this… does it make sense?”

Power drained from the hand holding the smartphone.

It’s not uncommon to see a game where only bangs come out of random draws, but it’s the same no matter how bad you feel when you win.

Whoa.

I sighed and looked at my phone again.

If you touch the screen to flip the drawing screen, a new message pops up saying that you have been given 10 draw tickets.

– [Free 10 Draw Ticket] has been paid.

– Would you like to proceed with the 10 draw right now?

– Yes No

Still, it was a situation in which his teeth were trembling due to the previous draw.

If the new draw doesn’t bring you comforting items, you won’t be able to sleep comfortably tonight.

When asked if I would like to proceed with the 10th draw once again, I immediately answered ‘Yes’.

tuk.

As the screen went through, an output window waiting for the next drawing came to mind.

“Ha, really… please come up with something good.”

I stared at the drawing screen with an eager heart.

I thought I needed a [refined tunic] a lot, but that didn’t mean I just wanted a [refined tunic].

This time, I hoped that a useful item such as a magic book would come out.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

As before, a bright light exploded, and the results of the 10 draws started to be printed out one by one.

– You have acquired the [Rusty Iron Sword].

– You have acquired [Stylish Tunic].

– You have acquired [Baguette].

– You have acquired [Spellbook: Giga Lightning].

– You have acquired [Sponge Cake].

– You have acquired [Sponge Cake].

– You have acquired [Holy Relic: Etalia’s Compass].

– You have acquired [Refined Cloak].

– You have acquired [Crude Dagger].

– You have acquired [Baguette].

Look at the items displayed on the screen one by one.

iron sword. tunic. and baguettes.

My eyes, checking the items one by one, found something and stopped.

Among the basic items that appeared each time, there was a magic book.

Fortunately, this time, there was no catastrophe that only obtained 10 [Stylish Tunic].

“Giga Lightning? Is it a thunderbolt skill?”

With the screen on which the magic book appeared, I started looking at the name of the newly selected magic.

[Spellbook: Giga Lightning].

It was a magic book of the attack system that I had acquired in a long time.

Judging from the name alone, it seems like a skill that inflicts lightning damage.

The fact that the attack magic came out was a good thing, but the fact that it was a lightning attribute was even better.

Now with Evan as an apostle, it was because the magical properties were also important.

“It seems like Lightning’s higher skill. I don’t know if Evan can use it as well.”

If it is a magic that inflicts lightning damage, it can be shared with Evan due to the characteristics of [New Spirit: Astrafe].

Just because it’s a thunderbolt attribute, its value goes up compared to other magic.

It is because it is possible to grow Evan just by learning the magic of the lightning attribute.

After checking the spell book from the 10th draw, I continued to check the next item.

Normally, I would only check the magic book and flip the screen, but this time, an unexpected item came out.

“And Etalia’s compass…”

[Relic: Etalia’s Compass].

Along with the Spellbook, it is a rare item obtained in this Gacha.

Like the demon sword that appeared before, it was an item that was emitting an unusual aura.

The first thing that caught my eye on the drawing screen was the appearance of Etalia’s compass.

It was in the shape of a jewel with a string hanging on it, not fitting the name of the compass.

While looking at the screen where Etalia’s compass appeared, I touched the LCD to close the drawing screen.

“I guess I’ll have to go into the inventory and find the description.”

According to Evan’s explanation, the relics were symbols of the six temples.

The difficulty of acquiring the skill was high enough to be included in the materials needed to evolve the ＜Strong God＞ skill.

A relic item like that would come out of the 10th draw.

Of course, you can’t use this item to grow the ＜Strong God＞ skill, but it must have been a valuable item nonetheless.

The unexpected meeting made me tremble and pressed my inventory.

When the inventory was opened, the appearance of the spell book and the relics placed side by side in the item window appeared.

“Then, where should I check the explanation?”

tuk.

Move your finger and click [Relic: Etalia’s Compass].

As the image of the clicked item was enlarged, a detailed description of the item was displayed below it.

My gaze, looking at the screen, slowly skimmed through the description of the item.

After checking all the descriptions of the items, I couldn’t help but be surprised at the more radical content than I expected.

“…why do these items come out of the gacha?”

A special ability possessed by the first relic item acquired.

It was very fitting with the name of the item, the compass.

* * * * * *

The Temple of Abundance located on the Crossbridge.

While Saint Serena was sitting in the office of the temple and reading a book, a priest came and delivered refreshments to her.

Before entering the Temple of Abundance, it was Serena who kept her distance from refreshments due to financial issues.

However, after becoming a saint and entering the temple, she was eating sweet things whenever she felt like it.

Serena, who had sent out the maid who brought tea and sweets, opened her mouth as she ate a cookie.

“The imperial subjugation team failed to subdue Kueberg.”

Of course, it was Rihanna, her bodyguard, to hear Serena’s story.

After hearing that the subjugation had failed, Rian looked at Serena with a darkened face.

The lord of the abyss, Kueberg.

He was a descendant of an evil spirit sent down by an evil spirit who was opposed to the six temples.

Failing to subdue the monsters that roam the Empire was a great bad news for the Holy Land.

“…that’s a big deal.”

“It’s a big deal. It’s a big problem not only for the Empire, but for us as well.”

In the Kueberg subjugation operation, members of the Cloud, also called elites in the Empire, were mobilized.

Since the subjugation that such elites participated in failed, it would not be easy to succeed in subjugation with any power.

Moreover, it was obvious that the Empire, which had suffered enormous losses from this subjugation operation, would ask for help in the Holy Land.

The Crossbridge, which enshrines the six temples, is a place that cannot be freed from responsibility for the family of evil spirits.

The Holy Land was also highly likely to have to prepare for the next subjugation operation.

“Even if you organize a subjugation team together, it will be difficult to recruit a large number of troops from the Holy Land.”

“That’s right. And in the next subjugation, even the heroes will not be free.”

“Did the elders meeting already come to a conclusion?”

“Yeah. I decided to send the hero of wisdom and the hero of hunting to subjugation.”

Serena brought up the story of the hero and quietly raised the teacup.

The six heroes chosen by the goddess exist to defeat the forces of evil spirits.

Judging that they had grown to some extent, the Presbyterian Council decided to mobilize heroes for the next subjugation.

It looked like it was still not enough for the vice-president, Lian, but if a decision had been made at the elders meeting, it was unavoidable.

Rian expressed dissatisfaction with the situation of the heroes who were put into action sooner than expected.

“It’s faster than I thought.”

“Is Ryan thinking that way?”

“Of course. Besides, there are some heroes who haven’t come to the Holy Land yet.”

“Ugh…”

“If the hero of abundance, the most important of all heroes, does not come… Saint?”

At Rihanna’s words, Serena’s hand holding the teacup trembled.

It was Serena, who reacted violently especially when talking about the hero of abundance.

It was because she remembered what she had been through at the council of elders.

Serena, who was in great trouble due to the hero’s absence, put the teacup she was holding down on the desk.

Then, while trying to pretend to be composure, he spoke to Rian.

“I’ll find it.”

“yes?”

“I’ll come to you in person. That mercenary named Gilbert.”

“Did you say you’re going right now?”

Serena nodded at Rihanna’s words.

It is the temple of abundance, which is considered the best in the Holy Land, but its status was continuously falling due to the missing hero.

Moreover, even at the elders meeting, many elders were paying attention to Serena.

It is impossible to wait forever for a hero and be patient.

So Serena brought out the story she had stored up in her heart while attending the elders meeting to Rihanna.

“Rian. Let’s leave the Holy Land together.”

“……”

“Then we will grab the hero of abundance with our hands and return.”

Of course, after hearing Serena’s plan, Rihanna was against her opinion.

Already, the family of evil spirits is running rampant in the empire.

It was because he did not know what would happen to Serena while visiting the Empire.

“It’s a dangerous plan. I’d rather send someone…”

“No. We have to go. Only I can know where it is.”

“Lady.”

“I’ve been patient for a long time. But this Gilbert has no intention of coming to the temple.”

Serena’s will was stubborn.

Rihanna tried to convince her somehow, but Serena just put a cookie into Rian’s mouth.

It meant that I didn’t want to listen to Ryan.

gulp.

Rihanna swallowed the sweets in her mouth and looked at Serena with a disappointed look.

“Are you sure you have to leave?”

“Yeah. I will definitely leave.”

“…Okay. Then, let’s ask the Holy Knights to take out the relics.”

Although it was dissatisfying that the saint went out directly, the problem between Ascalon and the hero was something that had to be solved someday.

After a brief thought, Rian nodded at Serena’s words.

The secret escort of the Holy Land is necessary.

It seemed like I had to talk to the manager separately.

Serena’s face lit up as she heard Rihanna’s words.

She put down the cookie she was about to put in Rian’s mouth and took her hand.

“Lian…!”

“If you come back instead, you’ll have to stop thinking about going out for a while.”

Although she always tried to show a wise appearance, her essence was nothing more than a girl who had not yet reached the contract.

Lian sighed and recalled the relics stored in the Order of the Holy Knights in his mind.

What kind of relics should I bring to prepare for an eventuality?

That was the most important homework given to Rian from now on.
