Woohoo, I Got a Gold Card?!
It couldn't have been damaged outright, could it?
With this mindset in mind, the Herta began to devote some attention to its invasion!
However, Herta actively severed control back then, and now its signals are being blocked.
Silver Wolf's methods are not weak; even the Herta cannot be easily invaded in a short time.
Lin Shuang was unaware that her act of blocking others had attracted the attention of Herta.
At this moment, she was holding the Herta Puppet's head and lifting her foot to try to straddle it.
With a lift of her feet, Lin Shuang easily sat on the neck of the Herta Puppet.
"Alright, stand up and walk around the room."
"Yes, Master Lin Shuang..."
The doll easily supported his calves with its hands. The Herta Puppet stood up and began to wander aimlessly around the room.
And now, Lin Shuang has finally started to feel something.
It can sit, move, and follow commands!
This is the Mount!
The thought suddenly became clear.
Boom--!
The Riding Skill has been triggered.
The power belonging to Lin Shuang began to flow continuously into the Herta Puppet's body.
Biological beings can be modified, and so can dolls!
As the flames surged into the Herta Puppet's body, Lin Shuang's control over the puppet became increasingly clear.
Because the puppet itself has no consciousness, Lin Shuang felt as if she had gained an extra body that she could control.
Not long after.
The flames subsided, and the Herta Puppet returned to its original form.
This time, however, Lin Shuang no longer needed to speak; with a thought, she could control the Herta Puppet's actions.
Moreover, it was as if it were an extension of Lin Shuang's body, completely at her command.
"Whoosh! It's done!"
Lin Shuang jumped down excitedly, and then led the Herta Puppet towards an empty room.
"Next, it's time to get married!"
Volume 1: Chapter 180 Wow, a gold card?!
Setting up a suitable Ritual room doesn't need to be too complicated.
Moreover, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Bowing to Heaven and Earth that Lin Shuang Remembrance.
To put it bluntly, all that's needed is a formal recognition.
This time, Lin Shuang prepared a rather classical wedding Ritual that was said to have been passed down on the Azur Star in the past.
The reason we didn't use the method used with Acheron is...
One is to adapt to local customs, as for the other...
Okay, she simply didn't want to use the Bowing to Heaven and Earth Ritual she had used in the Acheron on someone else.
At least I don't want to use it on a doll.
After all, all I wanted to do was draw more cards; I didn't really want to do anything else.
The room was not decorated in a complicated way. Lin Shuang changed into a blue dress on the Herta Puppet.
These are said to be clothes worn during past Ritual.
Lin Shuang changed into a different outfit as well.
After all the preparations were completed, the Ritual officially began.
And at this moment--
Because Herta focused most of its efforts on Simulated Universe, its decryption speed was slightly slower.
Of course, Herta didn't intend to directly connect to the puppet; it simply reconnected and projected the puppet's perspective onto itself.
Then,
The moment the projection unfolded, a lightning strike occurred during the opening ceremony!
As someone whose home planet is Azur Star.
Although Herta didn't care, it was aware of the outfits, the arrangements, and even every action it was taking.
They're all traditional wedding Ritual from the Azur Star!!
"Oh no..."
Even though Herta was a man of great experience and knowledge.
This scene left Herta speechless for a moment.
Is this guy mentally ill?
If you're really after her looks, just tell her directly.
There are plenty of people in this world who praise her looks and like her; you're just one more.
She's just a doll. Whether she gets married or not is none of Herta's business, as long as she doesn't use her name to swindle or deceive.
Why go through all that trouble and detours, and even go to the trouble of signal jamming?
And that's how I attracted her.
It really made even the Herta laugh.
How did such a clumsy little fellow embark on his Path of the Permanence?
However, the Herta has never cared about such things.
Besides, if a little girl can't even say she likes someone to their face, don't expect her to have the guts to do anything else.
Meanwhile, Lin Shuang was smoothly completing a simple wedding ceremony.
Unaware that what they were doing was being broadcast live by Herta.
Then, at the very moment the Ritual officially ended, information belonging to the Herta appeared before Lin Shuang:
[Target: Herta]
[Affection: 62 (Temporarily interested)]
[Relationship: Married in name only]
['I'll deduct a 6 from your score. You even went for the dolls, I think you're really hungry!']
['Girl, your answer is so abstract, it's hard for me to give a rating. And there's no bonus this time!']
[Reward: One green card draw]
My Affection is very low.
This was Lin Shuang's first impression.
And then there's the fact that the rewards are so low.
Lin Shuang was worried that she might only get a White Card since Affection hadn't even reached the threshold for the first tier of rewards.
However, just like the initial warning, it was downgraded to green.
Lin Shuang also roughly understood the judgment criteria.
Like Silver Wolf, although the two did not love each other, they did agree to enter into a contract.
Therefore, it cannot be considered cheating.
However, neither the Acheron incident nor this Herta incident involved Ritual contracts conducted with the consent of the individuals involved.
Furthermore, the Affection wasn't high enough to begin with, so the reward was downgraded.
But it's not a big problem.
Something is better than nothing.
Look at Herta's Affection; it's not even 65 points.
He had even helped Herta perfect the Simulated Universe before, and the excitement in Herta's tone back then was no joke.
Even so, the Affection is only 62 points, which can only be described as friendly.
As Lin Shuang had guessed, she was right.
Geniuses like Herta and Ruan Mei are separated from ordinary people by a layer.
Herta's attitude seems better, but in essence, it is very similar to that of Ruan Mei.
For them, developing feelings for a human being is clearly something they look down upon.
Therefore, Lin Shuang never actually hoped to raise Herta's Affection.
Getting an award even once is good enough; I didn't expect to get anything higher.
So--
Draw cards directly!
Since there are no outsiders around anyway.
The Herta Puppet were also under his control.
Therefore, Lin Shuang chose to draw a card almost immediately after seeing the reward details!
However, this time, I don't know if it's a guaranteed minimum or something.
The green light suddenly transformed into purple, and then burst forth with golden brilliance!
"What the hell?!"
Lin Shuang almost jumped up in excitement.
He couldn't help but blurt out a curse word.
Honestly, this was the first time Lin Shuang had ever gotten a gold card after drawing so many times.
As the dazzling golden light gradually faded.
New skills appeared before Lin Shuang's eyes:
[Light Cone Imprint Technology (One-Click Installation Version)]
[A technology that uses Remembrance to create Light Cone]
['This is a secret recipe from Garden of Recollection, use it sparingly.']
[Triggers the Remembrance skill set with [Memories of a Photograph], special effect: The Light Cone is also a photograph of the past, and can reliably extract Remembrance from the Light Cone.]
"What kind of abstract ability is this...?"
Lin Shuang blinked; she hadn't expected this thing to trigger additional effects.
When the information about Light Cone technology flooded Lin Shuang's mind, she realized that she did indeed possess the ability to create Light Cone.
However, she did not possess the ability to freely extract Remembrance like the Memokeeper.
The drawbacks of relying solely on Memories of a Photograph are quite obvious.
But...
What does this special effect mean?
The Light Cone is already made, why would she need to extract it again?
