[Host: Li Chen.]

[Reputation points: 4890]

[Items: Superman glasses, Superman suit.]

[Abilities: Kryptonian Bloodline, Divine Protection of First Strike.]

[Fragments: Faora fragments *3, Ram fragments *5, Nami fragments *3, Robin fragments *1.]

His reputation points were still climbing rapidly. It wouldn't be long before they reached five thousand.

Li Chen didn't know how the system calculated them. By rights, shouldn't becoming a sensation across America have earned him hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of reputation points?

But aside from silently calling it a profiteer, there was nothing he could do.

Enough talk. First, a ten-pull.

He already had five Ram fragments. Bringing her over shouldn't be hard, right?

After all, Li Chen had promised Rem that he would bring her sister over and reunite them.

Besides, the estate was so large that Rem really couldn't manage it alone.

He had to find someone to share the work.

[Perform a ten-pull?]

"Yes!"

It was as if boxes were opening before him one after another, bursting with golden light.

Although the results were still full of [Better luck next time], the drop rate had indeed improved considerably.

After all, there were more things in the prize pool now.

After five consecutive [Better luck next time] results, he finally got something.

[Congratulations, host! You obtained: Nami summon fragment.]

[Congratulations, host! You obtained: Eternal Pose.]

[Eternal Pose: A permanent version of a Log Pose. It always points toward a specific island and is unaffected by other magnetic fields. Because of its rarity, it is often controlled by the Marines and the Four Emperors as a strategic resource.]

Those were the only two things he got from his first ten-pull.

Li Chen looked at the pointer in his hand, which resembled a crystal ball, and was at a loss for words.

"Pretty useless."

In the world of One Piece, it really would have been something good.

But in the Marvel Universe, it was undoubtedly useless.

Geneva, give me a refund!

Getting only one fragment from a ten-pull made Li Chen uneasy.

"I'd rather not get any items. Can't you give me fragments instead?"

Li Chen once again prayed for the blessings of all the gods and buddhas, from Jesus Christ to Lucifer. He nearly called on the Five Great Beings by name.

"Again!"

[Better luck next time!]

[...]

[Congratulations, host! You obtained: Ram fragments *2.]

[Congratulations, host! You obtained: Nami fragment.]

Compared with Nami, Li Chen actually liked Robin more.

After all, Robin was a mature beauty...

Of course, the main reason was that Robin was well-endowed. Big was justice.

And Nami? Well, she wasn't exactly small either.

After two ten-pulls, he had seven Ram fragments and five Nami fragments. Naturally, he couldn't stop now.

[Better luck next time!]

[Better luck next time!]

[...]

Li Chen didn't hesitate. He made his last two ten-pulls, and they nearly gave him a heart attack.

Luckily, the very last pull flashed gold.

[Congratulations, host! You obtained: Ram fragments *3.]

[Congratulations, host! You obtained: Boa Hancock summon fragment.]

"?"

Li Chen had not only gotten what he wanted, but had also seen an astonishing name.

He blinked to make sure he hadn't misread it.

Boa Hancock.

Some might not immediately recognize who that was, but everyone would know her by another name.

The Empress.

Her unrivaled beauty had earned her the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world." She was a former member of the Shichibukai, the current empress of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, a pirate nation on Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt, and the current captain of the Kuja Pirates.

Without a doubt, she was one of the most popular women in the world of One Piece...

And now, Li Chen had drawn her fragment.

Now that he had a fragment, could the real woman be far behind?

The thought alone excited Li Chen, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Master, your smile is too strange."

Rem calmly reminded her master to watch his image.

"Ahem."

Li Chen came back to his senses and remembered that Rem was still watching him.

It couldn't be helped. Rem cared too much about her sister.

So Li Chen decided to play a little prank on Rem.

"Rem, I spoke with Ram."

At the mention of her sister's name, Rem's blue eyes immediately lit up. "What did Ram say?"

Li Chen said with a straight face, "She told you to take good care of me. She'll take good care of herself."

"What?"

Rem froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Her expression was as though something had broken, making her look utterly heartbroken.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Ram doesn't want me anymore."

Li Chen immediately regretted it. How could he make such a cute girl sad?

So Li Chen hurried over and pulled the adorable Rem into his arms.

Her petite body was completely enclosed in his embrace, as though he had wrapped himself around her.

"It's all right, Rem. Your master was only teasing you."

Rem had long since lost control of her tears. Even after hearing Li Chen's words, she couldn't stop crying.

Li Chen could only wipe the tears from her face with his hand, at a loss for what to do.

"Rem, I was wrong."

He apologized clumsily, then hurriedly said, "I'll bring Ram over right now."

Only after hearing that did Rem start trying to control her tears, sobbing all the while.

Seeing that it worked, Li Chen immediately began the summoning.

[Summon Ram?]

"Yes! As soon as possible!"

The next second, a brilliant light burst forth in the room, so bright that Rem couldn't even keep her eyes open.

Li Chen, however, was unaffected, because his super vision had already adapted.

He could see that behind the brilliant light, it was as if a spatial wormhole had opened, and a pink-haired girl was forcibly thrown through it.

"Ram, Ram!"

"Rem, Rem!"

What followed was an emotional reunion between the sisters. They hugged each other and burst into tears.

Li Chen stood to the side with a satisfied smile.

Ram looked a lot like Rem. They were exactly the same height, and their faces were nearly identical.

But their distinguishing features were obvious. Ram had pink hair, with bangs covering her left eye, while Rem had blue hair, with bangs covering her right eye.

Ram was also wearing a maid outfit, and her gaze was full of tenderness as she looked at her younger sister.

Unlike Rem, however, Ram could be a little sharp-tongued with other people.

She quickly demonstrated this to Li Chen. "Is this our master? He looks like a pervert. I'll protect you, Rem."

Li Chen: "..."

Sure enough, Ram was more observant than Rem.

"Ram, Ram, Master is a good person."

To Li Chen's surprise, Rem spoke up for him.

Only then did Ram say, "Rem, Rem, you can't judge a person by their appearance."

What kind of maid bad-mouthed her master right to his face?

Li Chen was at a loss with the two of them. He said, "Rem, take Ram downstairs and show her around. This will be your home from now on."

At the word "home," Ram's eyes flickered, and she finally put away her sharp tongue.

She was sharp-tongued on the surface, but she was actually very gentle at heart, even a little warmer than Rem.

In any case, Li Chen was very satisfied with his two maids.
