A Ten-Pull Draw

"Fine, I won't hold it against you for now." Lang Lei sighed.

"Hehe, I knew Master was the best." Aetheria flew over and kissed Lang Lei on the cheek.

Lang Lei froze for a moment. Before he could react, Little Griseo in his arms flung Aetheria away.

As she looked at Little Griseo glaring at her with puffed cheeks, Aetheria secretly regretted it. If I'd known, I should've set it so summoned characters couldn't see or touch me either.

Lang Lei patted Little Griseo's tiny hand, and only then did she stop glaring at Aetheria.

"I want one too."

"Hm?"

Caught completely off guard, Lang Lei was kissed on the other side of his face by Little Griseo.

After kissing him, Little Griseo even wrapped her arms around Lang Lei's neck and looked at Aetheria, declaring her claim.

"Hmph, I'm not going to argue with a child like you!" Aetheria stomped her foot and flew into Lang Lei's body.

"Hey! Aetheria! You haven't finished explaining the functions yet!" Before Lang Lei could finish speaking, Aetheria vanished again.

"Honestly, no more of that, okay?" Lang Lei gently tapped Little Griseo's forehead.

"Mmm..."

"Alright, I need to figure out what this Sea of Trees Projection Hall is and how to use it. Little Griseo, take me back to Suotuo City, okay?" Lang Lei asked.

"Mm, alright. I understand, Brother Lang Lei." Little Griseo nodded. This time, she summoned an eagle-shaped World-Painting Creation, which grabbed Lang Lei by the upper arm and lifted him up.

At some point, Little Griseo had climbed onto the giant bird's back. Pointing ahead, she said, "Big bird, charge!"

"Waaaah—"

Xuan Bing and Li Huo exchanged a glance, transformed into their shrunken true forms, and followed after them.

Thankfully, the system panel could be controlled with his thoughts. Otherwise, being dangled like this, Lang Lei really would have had trouble operating it.

"Extract memories to create videos?" Lang Lei swiped around a few times, experimentally copied and cut out a segment of memory, then tapped confirm.

Next came the reward stage for answering questions after the video.

Set number of reward recipients...

Let's set it to one for now.

As for the reward...

Lang Lei had originally wanted to use Gold Soul Coins, but after thinking it over, it didn't seem quite suitable.

Although Aetheria had stormed off in a huff earlier, leaving him no time to ask how the Sea of Trees Projection Hall could take him across worlds, based on his experience, since it used video broadcasts, it was most likely related to things like watch time or completion rate.

Though a great many people appeared to be watching the light screen in the sky right now, that was because people feared and were curious about the unknown.

They were curious what the light screen was, and they feared whether it might bring them some kind of harmful effect.

From Limit Douluo to ordinary civilians, everyone would feel that way.

But after enough time passed, they would realize that this so-called mysterious light screen would not affect them at all. Without something—or rather, some benefit—driving them, most civilians probably would not pay much attention to it anymore.

As for the top Spirit Masters who pursued power...

They were, after all, a tiny minority.

So Lang Lei felt that for the first time, it would be better to offer something relatively valuable. That would attract both ordinary Spirit Masters and non-Spirit Masters dreaming of rising to greatness, as well as somewhat elite geniuses.

As for the continent's top Spirit Masters...

Once they discovered that there was still a path ahead, their desire for strength would naturally drive them to explore it.

Lang Lei had quite a few precious items on hand now, but none were suitable for casually using, so he decided to try drawing some cards first.

As it happened, he had more than ten draws again.

"System, give me a ten-pull!"

No response...

"Is Aetheria really this diligent?"

Lang Lei's mouth twitched. But he couldn't free up his hands right now, so—

Bang!

Lang Lei swung his body twice and kicked the system's draw panel.

After a burst of electrical static, the system panel jumped to the draw page.

Ten cards shimmered with lights of different colors.

Five gold, one purple, one blue, and three green.

"Oh-ho, has my luck returned?" Lang Lei was quite excited. Five golds—wasn't that insanely lucky?

This time, Lang Lei did not choose to flip them over one by one. Instead, he revealed them all at once.

Ding. Obtained Fragment of Pink Crystal Flower (Gold) ×1.

Ding. Obtained Fragment of Pink Crystal Flower (Gold) ×1.

"..."

How should he put this?

If he said Lang Lei was unlucky, he had drawn five golds.

If he said he was lucky, he had also drawn five things that were useless for the time being.

Of course, Lang Lei was naturally happy to be one step closer to summoning Elysia.

What was more, he could obtain an Authority when summoning her!

Even with Lang Lei's luck, he had not drawn a single Authority so far.

As for those three Spirit Bones...

Lang Lei did not have Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment absorb them for now. It was not as though he needed that little bit more.

He would use these three Spirit Bones to build some hype for the light screen and the Sea of Trees Projection Hall.

Although, to Lang Lei, these three Spirit Bones were not much different from burdens, to the native Spirit Masters of Douluo Continent, they were priceless treasures!

Besides, these were not hundred-year or thousand-year Spirit Bones, but ten-thousand-year ones!

One had to know that at the next All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, Bibi Dong had merely produced three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, yet that alone had shocked all the continent's top factions.

These three Spirit Bones were enough to drive every class across Douluo Continent mad...

Without a doubt.

But Lang Lei was not foolish enough to put in all three at once.

A steady stream was the way to go~

One at a time, and they could not be given out too close together.

With that in mind, Lang Lei opened the Sea of Trees Projection Hall's settings panel.

Then, he placed the Ten Thousand Year Mandragora Serpent Torso Bone in the rewards section.

Hopefully, it would not be obtained by the Shrek Academy group or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He had no desire to fund his enemies. If either of those sides got Gold Soul Coins or something, that would be one thing, but if they got a Spirit Bone, he might not be able to resist hunting them down offline and taking it back.

As he operated the panel, the light screen in the sky displayed an image once more...

Honkai had always lurked in the shadows, watching humanity's civilization...

The next chapter would introduce Honkai to the people of Douluo Continent.
