I Was the Strongest Sword God in My Past Life - I Was the Strongest Sword God in My Past Life chapter 51

part 51

– Amy’s unique math, 1111111

– My child used to be so smart, sob sob sob

Leaving the viewers’ enthusiastic responses behind, Amy opened the voting window along with a list of sponsored items.

“So, we will now begin the item contest! Let’s send the items chosen by the viewers with the sponsorship money! How meaningful is that? No other broadcast has this kind of content.”

Amy turned her work into content.

– Alrighty~

– Vote, go go go go go

– It’s content, right? You’re not dumping this on us, are you?

‘Huh? The response is good?’

The number of viewers watching Amy’s broadcast was precisely 124,000. As they poured in their votes, only three out of the 300 items surfaced.

“Let’s check the votes.”

1 – Enhancement Catalyst

2 – Bundle of 100

3 – Mystery Box

Amy was speechless.

She stared at the monitor as if in a trance, then blinked.

“Really?”

– Yeah, it’s for real, no take-backs

– See, who asked you to take charge, lol??

– lololol, these devils, lolol

– Demon Lord: Professor, the pace is too fast!

Amidst the viewers’ laughter, Amy pressed the [Description] button next to the item.

[Enhancement Catalyst]

[Price: 23,000,000 Coin]

Description: Transforms an artifact into a random artifact of a higher grade.

[Bundle of 100]

[Price: 23,000,000 Coin]

Description: Obtain 100 units of a single type of consumable.

[Mystery Box]

[Price: 25,000,000 Coin]

Description: True to its name, a mysterious box whose contents are unknown.

The items chosen by the viewers all included gambling-type items with elements of chance.

“This isn’t right!! It’s supposed to be an item contest! A contest! Shouldn’t you be choosing something that fits? Look here! This one! Number 3, the Mystery Box! Does a box suit Zien? What does Zien have to do with a box?!”

Amy ranted rapidly, her anger palpable. However, the more intense Amy’s reaction became, the more the viewers were spurred on to vote.

– It suits you so well!

– It’s a perfect match222222

– This is totally Zien’s thing LOL

– Just pick something good~

[Voting Results]

1st Place – Mystery Box

2nd Place – Enhancement Catalyst

3rd Place – Bundle of 100

A shocking outcome.

Amy just collapsed.

“You’ve ruined it. Zien’s going to fire me…”

If this event ended successfully, Amy was set to take over all of Zien’s broadcasts. It was a sort of preemptive right.

“How hard I’ve been trying to look good!! And you send a gambling box worth 25 million coins? It’s all over!!”

But despite Amy’s performance, the viewers didn’t bat an eye.

– No backing down!

– Do it by the book already!

– LOL I can’t evenㅋㅋㅋ

Amy glanced at the chat window and, as if giving up, brushed off her uniform and stood up. Her appearance had become gaunt in just a moment. With a grimace, Amy pressed the [Purchase] button.

[You have purchased the Mystery Box.]

[Recipient – Gian Russell]

“Let’s see what comes up.”

Amy’s attitude had become defiantly reckless.

Regardless, the appearance of a box worth a whopping 25 million coins sent the viewers’ interest soaring to its peak.

– What will the luck be?

– Alright, checking it now~~

– Looks like Amy’s gonna get kicked out LOL

It’s time for the draw.

A shower of golden light.

Gian reached for the artifact dropped by the knight.

[Knight’s Oath]

[Category: Artifact (Rank: S)]

[Description: Allows the use of [Oath] on a party member.]

[Skill-Oath: Enables one-time use of the target’s magic device.]

The Knight’s Oath was an artifact that could exist thanks to the virtual gate created by the IG Group on a deserted island.

‘The magic device is a unique power held by the Saber. To think that such power could be used by another…’

Beyond efficiency, even Gian had never experienced using someone else’s magic device.

‘But for an S-rank, it’s quite restrictive.’

The magic device of a [party member] only [once].

The Knight’s Oath had two significant restrictions. Yet, even with those, the ability to use another’s magic device was a tremendous advantage.

‘One Saber wielding two types of magic devices…’

And that user was Gian.

Now, the most important thing was deciding whether to form an oath with Isabel or Chris and which magic device to borrow.

That was the most crucial part.

‘I’ve already collected two artifacts.’

Moreover, Gian had single-handedly defeated the 5th-grade boss knight while the main cam was watching. Having risked his life to create a legendary scene, the donations must have piled up significantly.

Ding!

[A gift has arrived.]

[Sender – Amy♥]

[Item – Mystery Box]

As expected, a gift had arrived.

“…A Mystery Box?”

Gien harbored a sense of wonder.

[Amy♥: Yes! The Mystery Box!]

[Amy♥: This is all the rage right now! Shouldn’t other parties just buy this? The odds! The draw! Hahaha, it’s great for the broadcast, right?]

Amy sent a message.

The message oozed desperation and urgency through its mere words. Only Celia could afford such an item with the current donations.

‘What is she talking about? Celia bought this kind of item?’

[Mystery Box]

[Price: 25,000,000 Coins]

Description: As the name suggests, it’s a mysterious box that could contain anything.

Gien chuckled wryly.

“Amy, you can be honest with me.”

Only then, along with a voting photo, did Amy confess.

[Amy♥: Actually, it wasn’t my choice… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Waaahhh]

From noble mtl dot nete

If the viewers were entertained, for Gien, it was merely an incident he could overlook. However, Amy was on a rampage.

[Amy♥: Are you going to cut me off? You will, won’t you? This is the end of us working together, isn’t it? I knew it!]

Amy, flustered, oscillated between formal and informal speech.

Gien, setting aside her reaction, used the Mystery Box.

[You have used the Mystery Box.]

[May luck be with you!]

With the system’s meaningful blessing, a hologram window appeared above the box.

[Type – Grade – Result]

“Type? Grade?”

[Amy♥: Touch it! Just touch it!]

The hologram in front of him was visible to both Amy and the viewers. Gien nonchalantly began the gamble staked with a whopping 25 million coins.

Whirrrr!

A lively sound effect.

The characters on the slot machine kept changing as if it were spinning. Consumables, artifacts, costumes, equipment, traits, and countless other characters rotated at high speed.

Whirrrrr.

The spinning slowed down, and the moment of fate approached.

Consumables, costumes, equipment…

Ding.

[Category – Artifact]

“Lucky, aren’t you?”

Jien said, loud enough for Amy to hear. It was a relief the result was good; the mystery box often contained the worst items.

Especially for Jien, who possessed the top-tier trait of Sword God, traits were as good as duds. It was fortunate to dodge the duds and land on an artifact.

[Amy♥: (•̀ᴗ•́)و Yay, an artifact! I’m satisfied with that! Haha, I’ll be counting on you next time too~]

Amy, quick to defuse the situation. But the mystery box’s outcome was not yet decided.

“The result will determine it.”

[Amy♥: That’s too harshㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

Jien smirked and touched the screen.

The characters for grade and result spun wildly.

Whirrrr.

[Grade – B]

S-grade artifacts drop only from boss mobs and air drops.

“A B-grade is pretty decent.”

[Result – Sweet Snack Pouch]

A cute pink pouch from the mystery box. Faced with the unexpected result, Jien fell silent.

“……”

[Sweet Snack Pouch]

[Category: Artifact (Rank: B)]

[Description: A pouch enchanted with subspace magic. Carrying it generates a sweet snack in the pocket every 30 minutes.]

Aside from its flashy design, it was quite practical.

“Well.”

One food item every 30 minutes.

This one artifact could overcome the inconvenient system of hunger. Among the B-grades, it was a top-quality performance. It also provided great entertainment for the viewers.

“The performance is impressive. Congratulations, Amy.”

Only then did Amy express her joy through a message.

[Amy♥: It doesn’t get cut off!ㅠㅠㅠ Yay!]

Amy, who had been on equal footing with Jian, suddenly found herself on a leash. The reason, of course, was the viewers.

[Arcana – Viewers 141,233]

The current live broadcast viewers numbered 140,000.

In this short time, Amy’s channel had doubled its subscribers. As the battle survival progressed, the relationship between the haves and the have-nots was naturally etched. Even the bond had solidified as much as the increasing number of viewers.
