Lin Qingyue looked at the brand-new Pink Weapon Box in the System Space, her heart itching as if a little kitten was gently scratching it with its claws.
She reached out and poked it.
A cold metallic texture transmitted from her fingertips; the touch felt exceptionally real.
Is this thing... really a gift from Elysia?
Whether the essence of this Blessing was a joke from some Aeon or a gift from Miss Elf spanning across worlds, she had genuinely received this goodwill.
Lin Qingyue temporarily suppressed these thoughts, shifting her attention to something that made her heart race even faster.
Elation Value!
She immediately opened the System Panel, her gaze locking onto the golden number in the top right corner with the precision of a sharp sword.
[Elation Value: 31567]
Thirty-one thousand five hundred and sixty-seven!
Lin Qingyue repeatedly confirmed it several times to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her.
Her heart pounded violently, almost leaping out of her throat.
It wasn't in vain that she had been working so diligently to stir up trouble recently. Even when fighting a BOSS, she would wait for it to finish unleashing its ultimate move before finishing it off, all just to squeeze out a little more shock from the bystanders.
Facts proved that this routine was highly effective!
She clicked open the acquisition record, and the expression on her face instantly became brilliantly colorful.
'Wow, Aeldara and the others' shock is actually worth this much?'
'And this... "The Elf Queen doesn't understand and is greatly shocked"?'
She saw a record of a massive Elation Value income that she hadn't even noticed last night.
'This gives Elation Value too?!'
Lin Qingyue stroked her chin, a smile typical of a fun-seeker who had just discovered a whole new world slowly blooming on her face.
'I understand now.'
Wasn't this just a massive hint telling her to go to Ilanier every day to engage in "in-depth academic exchanges" in all sorts of new ways?
Over 30,000 Elation Value—this was a massive sum capable of qualitatively transforming her strength!
Without another word, she immediately opened the familiar gacha interface.
[Myriad Worlds Elation Permanent Pool].
"Having only one Permanent Pool is fine too, at least I don't have to worry about pulling off-banner."
She rubbed her hands together, a light called "gambler" flashing in her eyes.
Last time it took 80 pulls to get Barbara, so her luck had to turn around this time no matter what!
"System, ten-pull!"
[Ding! 1600 Elation Value consumed, initiating a ten-pull wish.]
Streams of light flashed across the screen.
Blue, green, white... the ninth ray of light struggled before turning into a deep purple.
[Ding! Obtained: 4-Star Item: Favonius Warbow x1]
"Useless."
Lin Qingyue curled her lips. For Xia Lian, [Dark Night Starwhisper] was much better than this.
She directly clicked on her second ten-pull.
It was still the familiar blue sky and white clouds, plus a streak of purple.
[Ding! Obtained: Four-Star Character Card: Lynx (Permanent) x1]
"Huh?" Lin Qingyue froze for a moment.
On the card, a petite girl with short blonde hair and a cute snow hat was carrying a travel backpack, looking a bit adorkable.
'Lynx? The youngest sister of the Landau Family, that snow plains explorer? And a Quantum-attribute healer... wait, Quantum?'
Lin Qingyue suddenly remembered that yesterday, just to sound impressive, she had named their squad [Quantum Battleship].
'Holy crap, my team is named Quantum Battleship, so you actually gave me a Quantum character? This System really understands showmanship.'
She stroked her chin, a bold idea surfacing in her mind.
'Then if I change the team name to "The Seven Archons", will it give me Focalors next time?'
She forcefully suppressed this unreliable thought and continued pulling!
A few more ten-pulls were smashed down without even making a splash. The inventory only gained a few useless four-star Weapons and a pile of junk materials.
Lin Qingyue's cheek twitched slightly.
She was getting a bit heated.
"I refuse to believe it!"
She gritted her teeth and pressed the 10-pull button for the seventh time!
This time, the moment the streaming light streaked across the sky, the world changed!
The first eight streaks were still the disheartening white, green, and blue lights.
When the ninth light lit up, the struggling purple was instantly swallowed and torn apart!
A pure and overbearing golden hue explosively burst forth, dyeing her entire vision!
It's here!
Lin Qingyue suddenly sat bolt upright, her focus highly concentrated, her eyes dead set on the golden pillar of light shooting into the sky!
The light slowly dissipated.
A petite and cute figure condensed into shape within the light.
It was a Character Card!
[Bailu (Permanent)]
[Type: Character Card (★★★★★)]
[Description: Upon use, you can transform into Bailu, the current High Elder of the Vidyadhara on The Xianzhou Luofu, obtaining all her healing Skills and talents. During the transformation, the corresponding outfit (System adaptive version) will be automatically equipped.]
[Special Ability: Invigoration. You can consume a large amount of Mental Energy to resurrect a target who has been dead for no more than 10 minutes, and Renew 50% of their health. Cooldown: 1 hour.]
[Note: I don't want to be the High Elder! I'm just a doctor. Hey, stop pulling my tail!]
Lin Qingyue looked at this Skill description, her eyes instantly lighting up to the extreme.
Holy shit! Bailu! That walking resurrection coin!
Invigoration... Isn't this just resurrection?!
This is better than any DPS! With this, I'll be the ultimate carry in the team! Whoever dares to touch my teammates will have to ask the Resurrection Armor in my hands if it agrees first!
Lin Qingyue was overjoyed.
Even among high-level Professionals, those with resurrection abilities were exceedingly rare, acting as precious treasures that all the top factions would fight tooth and nail over.
If she simply revealed this ability right now, even the dean of Tianshu Academy would probably treat her like a treasure!
This gold pull was absolutely worth it!
Her gaze returned to the gacha interface.
The golden light just now was the ninth one, which meant the 10th had yet to be revealed.
Could it be...
A trace of greedy expectation rose in her heart.
However, the final ray of light was just an Unremarkable blue.
Lin Qingyue curled her lips, but it didn't really matter. Getting a Bailu Character Card was already a massive profit.
She still had a little over 20000 Elation Value left.
Continue!
-
On the 12th ten-pull, with a flash of purple light, a [Lynette Character Card (Permanent)] appeared.
She hadn't fished out a four-star permanent Character Card from this banner before, and today she got two at once!
However, Lynette... an Anemo support, she wouldn't be needed for the time being.
Continue!
[Ding! Consumed 1600 Elation Value to perform a ten-pull wish.]
Streaks of light flashed across again.
Green.
Blue.
...Blue again.
As the ninth blue light flashed, Lin Qingyue's heart leaped into her throat.
The moment the 10th light shone, another golden hue that made the soul tremble explosively burst forth!
Another gold!
It was a free and elegant, yet powerful silhouette carrying the aura of a Grandmaster!
It's a Character Card!
Lin Qingyue's mind went blank for a second.
130 pulls, double gold?!
Is this the effect of Luck +1? I love it!
Finally, I don't have to hit hard pity every single time!
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Permanent Character Card - Yixuan x1 (Gold)!]
As the golden light faded, a card with a completely different style hovered in front of her.
On the card face was a tall and upright woman with an extremely dominant figure and shoulder-length white hair.
She wore a short, bright yellow Daoist uniform with a tight white shirt underneath, outlining her breathtaking curves. She wore black leather shorts, and her long legs were straight and powerful.
What was most striking was the mysterious black bird perched on her left shoulder.
[Yixuan (Permanent)]
[Type: Character Card (★★★★★)]
[Description: Upon use, you can transform into the High Preceptor of Yunkui Summit, "Yixuan," gaining all her combat spells, martial arts insights, and talents. During the transformation, you will automatically equip the corresponding attire (System adaptive version).]
[Special Summon: Qingming Bird]
[Note: All magic is natural, the Dao heart is clear... alright, fine, actually fighting is just more direct.]
Lin Qingyue's brain buzzed.
Holy shit! Master Yixuan from Zenless Zone Zero! A Void Hunter-level big shot who has mastered both hand-to-hand combat and spells!
This was absolutely a powerful trump card capable of handling any combat situation!
Excited, she wanted to tap open the card's details. However, her gaze was unconsciously drawn to the peerless and domineering bust of the High Preceptor on the card.
The smile on Lin Qingyue's face stiffened inch by inch.
...Wait a minute.
Her gaze subconsciously moved away from the card, looking down at her own proud, practically athletic-level figure.
Then, she looked up again at the magnificent peaks on the card.
An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloped her.
'The System's adaptive clothing... can my figure... even hold it up?'
'This bust size is just too overbearing! I feel like my already pretty good figure looks like an underdeveloped middle schooler in front of this High Preceptor!'
'What if after transforming, the bust size stays the High Preceptor's size... wouldn't I end up wearing the training clothes like an empty sack?'
That scene would be the ultimate social death!
For the first time since getting the System, Lin Qingyue felt a trace of fear from the depths of her soul toward the act of transforming.
She sighed. Although her heart was full of anxiety about her figure, looking down at the Bailu Character Card calmed her down quite a bit.
With two golds in hand—a resurrection healer and a Celestial Worthy of Daoist Law—her tactical options were greatly enriched!
Satisfied, she closed the gacha interface and glanced at her remaining Elation Value.
[Elation Value: 10,767]
It was no longer enough for a hard pity guarantee.
She thought about it and decided to stop pulling for now.
Quit while you're ahead; one shouldn't be too greedy.
Lin Qingyue was in a fantastic mood, finding everything she looked at pleasing to the eye.
"Sis, what are you giggling about all alone in your room? You look like you just won five million!"
Lin Xiyue's voice came from outside the door, carrying a hint of teasing.
"I'm much happier than if I had won five million."
Lin Qingyue opened the door, the smile on her face so bright it was almost blinding.
"Let's go, time to eat! After we eat, we're going to level up!"
