Chapter 9: A Perfect Sword Doesn’t Exi—
Xu Tao rubbed his eyes, thinking he was just seeing things, and read the notification again.
[Opening Medium Loot Box... You received a rare nothing!]
"The heck?!" he growled in both disappointment and shock. "Is this for real?!"
It was his first Medium Loot Box—and he got absolutely nothing from it! He even checked his status, just in case... but nothing had changed. It was literally a box of nothing!
"Ugh..."
Heavily disappointed, he moved on to open the remaining crates. But just as he touched the next one, a new notification popped up.
[Opening Small Loot Box... Pity Rates applied from failed Medium Loot Box... Congratulations, you get 1x Simple Sword (R)!]
The box vanished, and in its place appeared a simple sword—just as its name claimed. Xu Tao caught it effortlessly, but the moment his fingers wrapped around the hilt, his eyes widened in shock.
"This sword... The design, the strength, the materials, its balance... Perfect!"
Swords usually had imbalances—whether from the materials used or flaws in the forging process. But this one? Not a single issue. It was perfectly balanced, almost like a divine being had crafted it with their own hands.
To him, this wasn’t just an "R"-rank weapon. It felt more like it should’ve been at SSR.
