New Cards

After chatting with the two for a while, during which Qin Rang's team was mentioned, Wang deliberately asked, "Won't we make things too difficult for them this time?"

Lin Nieran sipped his tea and said, "Tragic? This is just the appetizer."

"You didn't ask you to hold back your S-Rank abilities, you didn't go easy on them, and you let them complete the Instance on their own the whole time. You didn't even actually kill them. What's so terrible about that?"

"If they had gone to run the S-Rank Instance in the wild on their own, I'm afraid none of them would have come back alive this time."

Having ascertained Lin Nieran's bottom line, Wang tentatively asked, "Father, you've gone to great lengths. Will you hand them over to me afterward?"

Haven't you had enough fun yet?

Wang chuckled and said, "Everything in the Instance was decided by you, Father. Although their reactions are certainly something to look forward to, I still want to see more interesting scenes."

Such is his restless nature; he can't stay still. Lin Nieran didn't make things difficult for him. "You know our purpose. Just be mindful of your limits. What you do as you see fit is your freedom."

"That's great, Butler..."

"If the Butler is willing, he can come with you," Lin Nieran said.

The Butler shook his head. "I have to guard the Castle, so I'm afraid I can't play with the Young Master all the time."

"It's alright, I'm fine on my own," Wang Qi said expectantly. "With me here, Father, you don't need to worry about their lives being too boring. I'll help you speed up their growth!"

After seeing off the excited Wang and the clingy Moonlit Night, Lin Nieran stretched and returned to the shop.

A cold wind was still blowing outside, and snowflakes were still falling from the sky.

007 had been chanting for most of the day, and its electronic voice was exhausted. Seeing that Lin Nieran was ignoring it, it could only go to the door to let the cold wind blow on it and cool down the overheated chip.

There was some freshly fallen snow under the eaves outside, softly covering the ground.

The sky was a vast expanse of white, and snow mixed with rain had been falling for a long time.

After seeing the sky always sunny for so long, it's always a bit of a novelty to see snow that lasts for half a month.

Lin Nieran sat on a recliner, watching the snowflakes outside, sipping warm tea, and sighed with contentment.

Even if it's just to make these days last a little longer, he wants this world to continue.

"You've always wanted a body, why have you never asked me why I won't give you one?" Lin Nieran suddenly asked as he looked at her.

Lin Yi stepped out from behind him. "Is it necessary?"

His bloodshot eyes, hidden behind the mask and behind the steaming tea, said, "The ending is always the same."

Lin Yi didn't want to know, Lin Nieran also lost her sudden urge to confide, only smiling and saying, "Alright, alright, but don't worry, one day you'll get the body."

"When?"

"When I've lived enough."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and forced out the words, saying each one slowly and deliberately, "... You're playing me again?"

After spending so much time together, how could he not know that Lin Nieran's only obsession in life was to live, to live a happy, peaceful, and carefree life?

Saying he'd only get his body after he'd lived enough was just a casual, perfunctory remark.

Lin Nieran laughed several times and happily opened the system's card-drawing interface.

These days, his Vest has significantly increased his Fame in the live streaming room.

He intermittently poured nearly 500,000 Fame into the Intermediate Card Pool, with dismal results, but it did add a lot of items to the Authorities trading inventory.

Lin Nieran so angry that he had been quite resentful these past few days.

The scene at the end of the Instance just now gave him a sudden boost of nearly 500,000 Fame, the majority of which came from the Protagonist Group, who contributed as much as 300,000 Fame. It can be said that this scene is deeply etched in their minds.

"I drew 50 times last time, and I still have 50 more this time. That's enough to guarantee a card. I refuse to believe I can't draw a single card!" Lin Nieran feeling resentful.

007 silently flew a little further away, and seeing this, Lin Yi also walked a little further away.

Lin Nieran furious when he got nothing after fifty draws last time, and he stopped offering discounts to customers altogether.

Fortunately, both the system and Lin Yi's worries were unnecessary this time. He saw purple light after only his first ten draws!

A-Rank ID Card!

Lin Nieran raised his hand and caught the card in the light.

The card depicts a vast landscape with mountains, water, and sky. Among the majestic peaks, a boy stands with his back to the mountain, wearing a faded gray shirt, looking up at the sky amidst the lush greenery.

He flipped the card over to examine it.

[The Fortune Manipulator:]

Rank: A (Cannot be upgraded at this time due to card pool level restrictions)

Identity: Person

Characteristics: Born and raised by heaven and earth, their personality, like their luck, fluctuates between good and bad.

Background: Not yet unlocked

Introduction: He is a child born in the mountains; he can control both bad and good fortune. Note: Bringing him along when drawing cards will bring unexpected surprises!

Lin Nieran could fully understand the card's abilities, 007 became excited.

[This is it, this is the legendary Child of Fortune card!]

Before Lin Nieran ask, 007 volunteered, "[The Child of Fortune' is just our nickname. Its ability is very special and powerful; it can exchange luck!]"

[However, due to the excessive power and extraordinary nature of his abilities, his level was restricted, allowing him to only reach A-Rank. ]

[Once the system reaches its highest level, and he also reaches its highest level, he will be able to freely control the good and bad fortune of all things, making him one of the most powerful cards!]

Lin Nieran hearing about the exchange of luck.

"Exchange luck... Is there anyone in this world luckier than me?"

007 Little Ball's electronic eye transformed into the shape of two rows of ellipses: [Host, we should be humble when it's appropriate.]

"Can this card really help me draw cards?"

[The host can consider him a weakened version of the Luck Card!]

That was quite effective.

Lin Nieran held the card in his hand, deep in thought. It only had the ability to exchange luck, and not much practical combat ability. It seemed like a card that could be kept around as a mascot.

But luck itself is also the most powerful strength.

Such a powerful card shouldn't just stay in his hands forever; that would be a waste.

He felt... that the Authorities would likely be very interested.

Having made up his mind, Lin Nieran merged his personality into the cards to activate them, and then continued drawing cards.

Perhaps this "Fortune Manipulator" card truly has the blessing of good fortune; in the final ten draws after reaching 500,000 Fame, it once again displayed dazzling golden light!

Lin Nieran noticed the golden patterns entwined around the edge of the card and realized that this was not just a simple S Card.

SS Card! He drew an SS-Rank card!

Lin Nieran straightened his back excitedly and immediately spotted the blurry silhouette of a figure on the back of the card.

Unlike any of the previous cards, even though it was just a blurry outline, he could feel a holy and gentle aura flowing slowly from the card.

[Saintess:]

Rank: SS

Identity: Person

Characteristics: Male

Background: Not yet unlocked

Introduction: By nature kind, she had equal compassion for all things, understood and helped everyone, and was the most revered Saintess in the Church.
