At this moment, only one golden capsule and two purple capsules remained in the gacha machine, totaling three capsules, with two final chances left to choose.
It seemed that Guhan had a one in three chance of getting the golden capsule, which was quite high. However, in reality, given the system's nature, which was full of black curtains, bugs, and underhanded operations, Guhan felt that he had almost no chance of getting the golden capsule.
But even with just a one percent chance, Guhan had to try. Twelve years of hard work were all pinned on these three capsules.
Guhan extended his finger and steadily pressed the button on the gacha machine. With a push, the remaining three capsules began to roll violently. Guhan's eyes were fixed on the three capsules, especially the golden one, hoping it would obediently roll to the exit.
In Guhan's gaze, the golden capsule almost fell into the exit several times but was always bounced back to the top of the machine. In the end, Guhan's wish was not fulfilled, and a purple capsule finally dropped out of the exit.
Guhan took the purple capsule in his hand, sighed, and casually twisted it open. If other players saw this, they would definitely jump up and beat Guhan. After all, who, upon getting a purple capsule, wouldn't burn incense, light candles, kneel down, and pray to the Goddess of Fortune, chanting "I am a European! I am a European! I am a European!" a hundred times before respectfully twisting open the capsule? No one would treat a precious purple capsule like Guhan did.
"Congratulations, Player Admiral, you have obtained a purple capsule, which contains 'Inherent Boundary — Sword Washing Pool.'"
"An Inherent Boundary?!!" Guhan was surprised. He never thought he would get an Inherent Boundary from a purple capsule. This was definitely one of the top rewards contained in a purple capsule. In terms of combat value, an Inherent Boundary was worth more than a Famous Sword-level Sword Maiden.
**Inherent Boundary — Sword Washing Pool**
- Tradable, Unbindable, Dropped on Death, Resistant to Damage
- Item Category: Combat Support
- Boundary Attribute: Metal
- Item Origin: Hall of Heroes
- Usage Level: Famous Sword
- Usage Requirements: First use permanently consumes 100 Sword Essence points, each subsequent use permanently consumes 10 Sword Essence points.
- Usage Effect: After use, a small, independent boundary space is generated centered on the user. This boundary will not disappear until the user dies. Within this boundary, all negative attribute skills cannot affect or harm the Sword Maiden. The attack power of Confucian and Martial Sword Maidens is increased by 30%, and this effect stacks with all other non-boundary buffs.
- Item Description: The Inherent Boundary is a special ability of the Hall of Heroes. After continuous research and development by human scholars and Sword Bearers, the Inherent Boundary effect was successfully scrollified, making it usable by every human Sword Bearer. This greatly enhanced the combat capabilities of Sword Maidens and Sword Bearers. Due to the extremely precious materials required for the scroll, there are no more than fifteen Inherent Boundaries in existence.
"From what I remember, the last time an Inherent Boundary was auctioned in the game, it sold for five million RMB! And that Inherent Boundary's effect was much worse than the Sword Washing Pool. So, this Inherent Boundary should be even more valuable." In the game, although Inherent Boundaries are not as rare as in reality, there are definitely no more than a thousand. Thinking of the five million, the gloom on Guhan's face finally dissipated a bit.
Over the past twelve years, Guhan had spent all his compensation and living expenses on researching the dungeon strategy, and he had also taken out a lot of installment loans from the bank. With this five million, he could at least stop the bank's collection calls.
However, this only made Guhan slightly happier. The most important thing was still the Sword of Goujian, which was the most valuable to Guhan. Although the Inherent Boundary was only slightly less valuable than a Famous Sword-level Sword Maiden, in Guhan's heart, the gap was as vast as the Sichuan Basin and the Himalayas.
"Player Admiral, you have one last chance to draw a capsule. Do you want to start?" Settlement Officer 0791 urged.
"Of course!" This time, Guhan did not casually toss the Inherent Boundary into the pile of items on the table but carefully placed it in his personal dimensional space. Without hesitation, he quickly pressed the gacha button.
The gacha machine started to spin. Now, only one golden and one purple capsule remained inside, moving and colliding at high speed. They looked like two glaring lights, constantly refracting and jumping within the transparent glass of the gacha machine.
Perhaps because only two capsules were left, the gacha machine spun for a very long time. Twenty-six minutes passed, and no capsule had yet fallen out of the exit. During these twenty-six minutes, Guhan's mind remained highly focused, his eyes never leaving the gacha machine.
After such a long time, even Guhan found it hard to maintain his concentration. At one moment, his pupils lost focus, and his attention wandered for a brief moment.
"It's out!" 0791 shouted excitedly. Guhan's attention instantly returned, and he saw 0791's face, which was flushed with excitement. Yes, this NPC had also waited for nearly half an hour with him. BAT was really getting more extravagant, even equipping ordinary settlement NPCs with such advanced artificial intelligence.
Guhan's thoughts about artificial intelligence lasted less than a second before he focused on the capsule that had fallen. He grabbed it from the small basket at the exit and tightly held it, not daring to look at its color.
"Hey! Hey! What color is it? What color is it?" Guhan didn't dare to look, but another head had already leaned over. 0791 squinted one eye, trying to see the color of the capsule through the gaps in Guhan's fingers.
"Ahem!" Guhan coughed, "What color is it? Your system already knows, right? Why do you need to see mine?"
Settlement Officer 0791 chuckled and pulled back, "The program malfunctioned just now, so I don't know what color it is."
"The program malfunctioned?!" Guhan's heart tightened. If what this NPC said was true, it meant that this gacha draw was not controlled by the system's one in a million chance. The capsule in his hand had a fifty percent chance of being golden!
Guhan felt a surge of blood rush to his head and slowly opened his palm.

"Ding: System Notice: All Channels Broadcast: A European has arrived!!! Player 'Admiral' has, for the first time, drawn a golden capsule in the dungeon settlement gacha. Truly, some people are just more fortunate than others!"
"Ding: System Notice: All Channels Broadcast: A European has arrived!!! Player 'Admiral' has, for the first time, drawn a golden capsule in the dungeon settlement gacha. Truly, some people are just more fortunate than others!"
"Ding: System Notice: All Channels Broadcast: A European has arrived!!! Player 'Admiral' has, for the first time, drawn a golden capsule in the dungeon settlement gacha. Truly, some people are just more fortunate than others!"
Looking at the golden capsule in his hand, Guhan was so excited that he almost wanted to cry. If he hadn't sworn never to shed a tear in his life, he might have really cried.
"Quick, open it and see if it's what you want!!" 0791 urged excitedly.
Guhan responded to 0791's urging with action. His trembling hand forcefully split the golden capsule into two pieces. A silver aurora-like light floated out of the capsule, gradually expanding, forming, and materializing in the air. First, a pair of delicate feet appeared, then long, straight legs, a perfect hourglass waist, a full chest, and finally, a cold, clear face.
The Famous Sword Maiden, Goujian, appeared as expected, but unexpectedly, she was really there.
