Orion scrolled through his inbox and system logs, discovering that these were system notifications issued during those three days. However, because Orion was busy at the time, no pop-up notifications appeared.
Orion was shocked that there were rewards for reaching a certain number of female leads conquered.
What shocked him even more was that little Griseo could actually discover the system's rewards. Is this the value of a pure, innocent maiden?
Is a Pseudo-Descender just messing with you?
However, Orion also became a little curious: what kind of reward would Griseo describe as "golden"?
Alright, let's claim it and see!
[Claim Reward]
[Ding: Congratulations, Host, you have met the criteria for conquering female characters (ten people). The following rewards have been issued to you:
Noble Phantasm: Gate of Babylon
Noble Phantasm Rank: E to C++
Noble Phantasm Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
Maximum Capture:???
Maximum Range:???
Remarks: 1. This reward is the initial reward for unlocking the number of female characters. The number of Gate of Babylon openings depends on the Host's magical power, but it can only use Noble Phantasms up to C++ rank.
NoblePhantasmsobtained through gacha draws are not automatically stored within the Gate of Babylon. Treasuresfired from the Gate of Babylon can be automatically retrieved. Weaponsobtained through gacha draws can be considered treasures after being marked with the Key of the King's Law. They are not subject to the Noble Phantasm usage rank limit and can be automatically recalled.]
[Currently unlocked female characters: Lumine, Jean, Lisa, Eula, Clara, Yunli, Rosalyne, Sanzomon, Mona, Fischl (ten people, initial goal met, reward acquired), Noelle]
Orion was truly stunned.
No, is our system this kind of style? Aren't you a journey assistance system?
Is friendly communication with companions also part of the journey? What kind of Traveler-raping Hakata Group is this?
"But, the Gate of Babylon... doesn't this entirely overlap with my current abilities?"
If it's about the Gate of Babylon's storage ability, Orion's own spider body can also store things and fire things. Paimon had previously asked him if he could fire the three-star and four-star weapons he drew, and Orion's answer was yes.
So, it seems the Gate of Babylon only adds an automatic retrieval function.
Moreover, Orion has so many divine authorities that sometimes he just creates whatever he lacks.
What's more, this Gate of Babylon only goes up to C++ ranked Noble Phantasms. That means the most powerful Holy Swords, Demonic Swords, Holy Lances, and Divine Bows cannot be summoned. Isn't that a direct nerf?
However, there is one point about the Gate of Babylon that is often misunderstood: its essence as a Noble Phantasm is a counter card, and its use is meant to be paired with the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence.
To say nothing else, without the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, you wouldn't even know what Noble Phantasms are in the Gate of Babylon, what their effects are, let alone find a specific functional Noble Phantasm in a short time. But once you have the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, you can, knowing that the opponent's "weakness is fire," instantly pull out all fire-attribute Noble Phantasms and burn the opponent to death.
In other words, the current Gate of Babylon is indeed not very useful to Orion, but it may become more powerful as he conquers more targets. It should be considered a late-game skill.
To put it bluntly, with the current maximum C+++ strength, wouldn't my main body's sneeze be more powerful than yours?
However, having said that, after Orion briefly observed the contents of the Gate of Babylon, he found it to be quite appealing.
Because the Gate of Babylon doesn't just contain weapons; its nature is to store treasures, and treasures are not just simple weapons. For example, Orion doesn't have illusion-type authorities, but there are quite a few hallucinatory items among the D-ranked Noble Phantasms.
In addition, many fine wines and Golden Apples are also considered treasures and stored within. There are also some strange ones, like the "Great Rejuvenation Pill" which is considered an E-rank treasure. Given that E-rank Heroic Spirits are judged to be several times stronger than ordinary people, this Great Rejuvenation Pill is probably the type found in Wuxia novels, the kind that allows one to break through cultivation realms after consuming it.
And putting everything else aside, wouldn't just the food inside be enough to tempt Yunli, trick her into coming over, and let her eat for an entire night?
So good.
After studying the Gate of Babylon, Orion felt it was time to consider the evening's affairs. Originally, having just learned that conquering girls could earn rewards, Orion really wanted to directly tie up the two Griseos and the Anaconda.
But the three of them were completely engrossed in their painter's studio and construction workshop, with no room for anything suggestive in their minds.
In the end, Orion even considered drawing lots, but just then, Skirk, who had noticed his return, walked over and sat beside him.
Orion was a little confused: "Why are you staring at me?"
Skirk asked directly: "Don't you feel like you've forgotten something these past two or three days?"
"Forgotten what?" Orion frowned and then asked, "Is it about Shenhe? I haven't seen her for several days, so I've been thinking about how to cheer her up."
"I'm not talking about that." Skirk interrupted Orion. "I'm talking about work."
"Two or three days... work... Oh crap! I was supposed to report there!" Orion was greatly alarmed. He was supposed to go to WangSheng Funeral Parlor today, but he completely forgot because he went on a date with Amber and Barbara!
But now it was late, and even if Orion wanted to go, it wouldn't be appropriate at this hour.
Finally, with a sigh, Orion thanked Skirk: "Although you only told me tonight, you still reminded me.
Now I can only wait until tomorrow to go see Shenhe and then apologize to the Director."
However, Orion quickly dismissed the topic after a brief thought. He had always felt like something was hanging over him, especially the "three days" timeframe, which always made him feel like something was suspended above those three days, but he couldn't remember what it was no matter how hard he thought.
However, thanks to Skirk, he remembered that it was about reporting to WangSheng Funeral Parlor, so he didn't need to keep thinking about it.
Thank you, Skirk!

On Mount Aocang, beside a stone table.
A jade hand gently picked up a piece of candied fruit and placed it between her lips, which then rolled into her mouth with a flick of her fragrant tongue.
This was a beautiful woman with white hair that reached the ground. She possessed a figure that was hard to look away from, a delicate face carved by the gods of creation themselves, and a pair of long, pointed elven ears that twitched behind her cheeks.
At this moment, she was resting her beautiful cheek on one hand, her mouth full of candied fruit, speaking indistinctly: "Hmph, didn't he say he'd come to pick me up in three days? I still haven't seen him, men are indeed all big liars!"
Beside her, Xianyun, in human form, had light reflecting off her glasses, obscuring the worry in her eyes: "Ah—my candied fruit..."
Suddenly, the white-haired woman opposite her slammed the table and stood up. Barefoot, her tender feet, pink against their whiteness, she danced gracefully into the center of the water, saying as she danced: "Hmph! If he doesn't come, he doesn't come, I don't care anymore! True Monarch, let's just enjoy ourselves, I'll dance for you!"
Miraculously, wherever the woman's feet touched, red Padisarah flowers bloomed!
Amidst the lush blossoms, Xianyun's face grew even more worried: "Tree King, please stop dancing! My mountaintop is almost a garden!"
"Tree King"
