This time, the Holy Judgment triggered a very special set of options.
While Su Wu was pondering where to go, it pointed out the three most advantageous options for him within the capital.
Unlike previous times where only one option could be chosen, these three options could all be pursued sequentially given enough time.
Since Cang Yue was still clearing monster nests, Su Wu decided to postpone option three.
After some consideration between the other two options, he chose to visit the jar merchant Barnard first.
The reason was simple: even without the Holy Judgment, knowing the existence of a jar merchant would make Su Wu come here regardless.
Jar merchants are a rare profession; in many worlds, one might never encounter even a single jar merchant.
Unlike ordinary merchants, jar merchants source their goods from the Void.
With a certain aptitude, a jar merchant can sign a contract with the Void, changing their faction to absolute neutrality.
Afterward, they use a special summoning array to periodically receive shipments of ceramic jars from the Void.
The jars themselves cannot be opened by the merchant—only sold intact to customers.
What can be found inside depends entirely on the luck of the buyer.
According to information from the gate guard, Su Wu soon arrived at a lavishly decorated shop.
"Welcome!"
Entering, he saw a somewhat dazed penguin fiddling with a pair of coins while leaning on a chair.
Noticing Su Wu, it put down the coins and gestured toward rows of shelves, introducing itself:
"I am Barnard, the jar merchant, selling these little things."
"If interested, you can buy from me."
"Low-tier jars cost 100 energy points, mid-tier 1000, high-tier 10,000."
"The higher the jar quality, the better the contents."
"Of course, probabilities are relative; even a low-tier jar might contain legendary treasures."
"Similarly, high-tier jars might contain nothing at all." Su Wu added.
"Exactly ~ Glad you understand, dear customer!"
The penguin waved its right arm and sighed, "Customers like you who are so rational are rare."
"Usually, some self-proclaimed chosen ones cause trouble when nothing comes out of their jars—such a pain."
Are you sure it's not because the probabilities are truly too low?
Opening jars sounds fun, but realistically...
People often spend tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of energy points with returns that might not even cover their costs.
Because of this, only two types of people buy from jar merchants:
One, the wealthy who spend a few low-tier jars just to satisfy curiosity.
Two, losers forced to the brink by battle defeats, unwilling to accept defeat quietly.
Su Wu was the third type—one who had a cheat.
[Holy Judgment triggered successfully.]
[Option 1: Buy the 4th low-tier jar on the 1st shelf's 1st row, get a second-tier equipment.]
[Option 2: Buy the 5th low-tier jar on the 3rd shelf's 3rd row, get a low-tier resource pack.]
[Option 3: Buy the 7th low-tier jar on the 4th shelf's 2nd row, get 10 lord points.]
...
[Option 50: Buy the 7th high-tier jar on the 7th shelf's 10th row, get a lord skill card (SSS-Tier).]
[Note: Any jar not listed in the options is empty.]
"?"
After carefully reading the option list, Su Wu looked at the smiling Barnard and asked, "How many jars do you have here in total?"
"Exactly 1,000!"
Seeing Su Wu's buying intent, the penguin jumped down from the chair and put an arm around Su Wu's shoulder, saying warmly:
"Since you're such a reasonable customer, I'll tell you a secret!"
"These 1,000 jars are all fresh stock just arrived today!"
"If you buy now, your chance of getting prizes is much higher than usual!"
Only 50 out of 1,000 jars actually contain items.
"5% chance," Su Wu nodded approvingly.
Compared to the many gacha attempts in his past life where he never got a five-star, this rate was generous.
However...
Su Wu touched his storage ring, pondering.
He had just over 30,000 energy points left—buying all the jars with items seemed unaffordable.
"Can you give me a discount for bulk buying?"
"Sorry, no."
Barnard shrugged, "If you knew the jar merchant's business, you'd understand I'm just a middleman."
"I only get a small commission from sales."
"But..."
Barnard paused, then said:
"You're lucky, though. I recently ran into some trouble. If you help me out, I'll give you jars worth 20,000 energy points for free."
