After my impulsive action, Jessica, who was beside me, tapped my head with her rabbit ears as if asking why I did that.
“So you ended up splurging after all.”
“It’s fine to do it one last time before the event ends, right?”
Of course, seeing my behavior like I was some gangster smoking his last cigarette, she could only sigh deeply and shake her head.
And just as I was about to open the boxes after seeing Jessica’s reaction…
I suddenly wondered how other rankers were doing, so before opening the boxes, I decided to check the gallery for box verification posts.
Fortunately, I was able to find the rankers’ verification posts without much searching.

“Everyone in the top 10 has verified their random box pulls.”
“Yeah, I see that.”
Seeing that other rankers had already intensely(?) done the “verification posts” I was planning to do, I thought that people really do think alike.
And just as I was thinking that…

Title: Only rank 3 hasn’t verified random box pulls among the top 10

What are you doing, admin?
Everyone is waiting for your miserable failure
Comments:
-[You evil bastard LOLOL]
-[Others’ suffering is my happiness!]
-[But seriously, why hasn’t rank 3 verified their random box pulls?]
-˪[Would you focus on random boxes if you had hit the unlucky #3 spot out of all users in the last 10,000 reset verification event?]
-˪[Good point]
-˪[Oh, the 9,980 resets?]
-[LMAO]
-[I wouldn’t do it either if I were them, it’s too frustrating, and given they haven’t verified yet, they probably failed miserably]
-˪[For real LOLOL]

As opinions like “other rankers are all verifying, what are you doing, Icarus?” were gaining traction in the gallery.
I nodded and prepared to upload a “miserable failure” verification shot as usual.
“Alright Jessica, take a good picture at a flattering angle but cover my face.”
“…What do you mean take it at a flattering angle but cover your face?”
“Like Durahhan?”
“Ugh.”
Although Jessica momentarily failed to understand my clever joke…
‘Whatever happens happens, I’ll probably just get resources or equipment boxes anyway.’
With Commander Toreina’s wise words in my heart—”If you don’t expect anything, you won’t be betrayed”—I didn’t care much either way.
I began opening the shiny golden random boxes with a very relaxed mindset.
But after opening all 10 random boxes with a “completely empty mind” in a state of nothingness…
—————————————–

<Radiant Equipment Box x5 Acquired>
<Radiant Resource Box x4 Acquired>
<Kraken-class Assault Aircraft Carrier x1 Acquired>

‘…Wha?’
“What.”
“C-Commander Icarus! Massive warp signature detected outside Tannhäuser!”
“This signature is… Kraken-class!”
“Whaaaaat?!”
Was it because I had reached a state of complete emptiness?
It seemed like the gacha—no, the random box’s greed sensor had malfunctioned, and suddenly a third Kraken popped out of warp.
In this game’s unique style, it tore off the dimensional intrusion prevention cover, stretched its massive tentacles, and made slurping sounds.
Seeing this, I felt my brain short-circuit very strongly for a moment.
Of course, as I just mentioned, it was only for “a moment.”
Unlike Neranjara, which I had been keeping hidden, the Kraken was impossible to conceal…
“Jessica, contact Tiamat.”
“Already connected.”
-“Commander! I heard a new Kraken appeared?!”
“Yes, so line up the other two Krakens in front of the base immediately, and bring the new one there too.”
-“Oh yes, I’ll do that right away!”
I called Tiamat, our aircraft carrier manager(?) and caretaker, woke up the two Krakens that were sleeping soundly in our base.
After placing all three outside our base, I proudly took screenshots.
Then, with those screenshots, I quietly posted on the gallery…

Yep
That’s right

Comments:

-[wtf]
-[you bastard]
-[The Krakens that should have come to me, you ate them all, what am I supposed to do now?]
-[Why did I nag this guy about not verifying]
-˪[You were the root of all evil]
-[Damn it]
-[Why, why only me]
-[Admin! There’s a cheating bastard… damn, it’s the admin]
-˪[LOLOLOLOLOL]
-[The person who ranked 3rd from the bottom in terms of luck now has 3 Krakens LMAO]
-˪[Don’t save up your luck, use it every time]

‘Ah, so this is why trolls do what they do.’
Looking at the burning reactions of the users, I was able to spend the final hours of the event feeling very refreshed and happy.
