Mystery Capsule 20-Bundle
Since most of the time Mystery Capsules won't give you the bonus item on the first time you open one, but rather on the second, third, tenth of twentieth time or later, there's now an option to buy capsules in a bundle.
Mystery Capsule 20-Bundle will cost you 4000NC and will give you an extra Mystery Capsule as a bonus over the twenty capsules you already bought. This means you'll get a total of 21 capsules. All these capsules are of the same kind, so if you buy a Maraqua Mystery Capsule 20-Bundle, you'll end up with twenty-one Maraqua Mystery Capsules.
