Chen Li: What do you mean I still have over 100,000 resurrection matches to fight?
"I see... Let's just keep going step by step. You can talk to me about any problems you encounter. Just sing your heart out, and I'll take care of the rest. I look forward to your future achievements," Chen Li said sincerely.
In Chen Li's view, although the world has such a thing as Path, and the power of the Emanator is undeniable, ordinary celebrities can do nothing even if they are famous. But what if this celebrity is also a Pathstrider?
Use your voice to resonate with your Path, use your voice to change the world.
The bigger the stage, the broader the Robin's future will be. If this virtuous cycle continues Robin's influence in the future may be no less than that of the Genius Society member.
In other words, the bigger the stage, the bigger the Miracle!
"Go, Robin!"
It would be even better if a Miracle Card could be created.
"Okay, okay. Thank you for your support." Although Robin has many fans, this is the most touching time for Robin as his only audience.
"Don't mention it, we're practically family. Oh, by the way, I just brought back some local specialties from IX, would you like some?"
Although Chen Li thought the Robin might not be interested, he still had to ask politely.
"IX? Who? Wait, you mean the Nanook?" The Robin paused for a moment.
As Robin raised by the Family Head the Oak Family since childhood, he naturally understood the basic knowledge about the Aeon, but the impact of Chen Li's words was still a bit too much.
"Yes."
"What local specialties?"
"The embodiment of my friendship with IX— Little Black Handsome!" Chen Li said, while taking out a black oval object the size of an egg.
The black oval object was tightly trapped by numerous golden rings, but the Robin immediately recognized its extraordinary nature.
The Robin's gaze was drawn to the preserved egg in front of it, and it seemed that even its mind was about to be captivated by it.
Chen Li waved his hand in front of the Robin's eyes. But the Robin did not react.
"Robin?" Chen Li called out softly.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" the Robin replied, but its gaze remained fixed on the preserved egg.
After Chen Li put the preserved egg away, the Robin finally came to its senses.
"I just waved my hand in front of you, didn't you see it?" Chen Li asked.
"No." The Robin shook its head blankly.
"Well, it seems this thing is still too dangerous. Although it's separated by Friends Circle, the only way for the outside world to contact it is through sight, but it can even attract sight..." Chen Li said thoughtfully.
Because the Robin's gaze was drawn to the Robin egg and distorted, it could no longer see other objects, but Robin hearing remained normal.
"This thing gives me a very scary feeling," the Robin said seriously.
"Of course, after all, this is a part of the Nanook, although it is only a very small part."
"?!!"
"I plan to give this as a local specialty to Great Herta, Ruan Mei, or Screwllum. Do you think they would be interested?"
"Of course not! Don't take out such a dangerous thing so casually! Speaking of which, I didn't notice what you were holding, Chen Li?" Robin asked curiously.
"A part of the body of the Nanook."
"No, I mean your other hand."
"Oh, this is Acheron's... It's nothing." When Chen Li realized that he hadn't put Acheron's leg ring away yet, he paused for a moment, then immediately put it in his pocket.
"That should be a leg ring, right?" the Robin asked uncertainly.
"Uh, yes... You might not believe it, but I'm currently collecting entries for the term 'Leg Ring Collector'." Chen Li looked up.
The entry for "Leg Ring Collector" Extraction...
Progress: 1/5 (Collecting the leg rings of the pure maidens will increase the progress)
Chen Li was initially a little confused. Was Acheron really a young girl?
But the thought that beautiful girls aren't defined by age made Chen Li feel relieved.
"Then... does this count?" After hesitating for a moment, the Robin turned around and touched his right leg, which was slightly raised behind him, and took off the strap near his ankle.
Although the Robin didn't understand the purpose of the term "leg ring collector," it would be helpful to Chen Li.
After the Robin placed its anklet into Chen Li's hand, Chen Li saw that the progress bar above his head had increased by one.
"Okay. Uh, thanks." Chen Li scratched his head.
To be honest, Chen Li didn't intend to Extraction this entry, but since the Robin offered it to him, Chen Li felt embarrassed to refuse.
Moreover, after refusing, Chen Li was unable to explain the origin of Acheron's leg ring.
"Speaking of which, my brother seems to have a leg ring too..." Robin tapped her chin with her index finger.
"That's really unnecessary. This entry requires leg rings for pure young girls," Chen Li quickly said.
Chen Li collects leg rings from young girls and is misunderstood, he might at most be called a lecher. But if he also wants leg rings from men, that's not quite normal.
"Oh, I see. I'll ask in the Miraculous Items group for you."
"Wait a minute, there's no need to make such a fuss..."
"I'm sorry, right? I know you, Chen Li, have always felt that friends shouldn't be so calculating, so you never worry about gains or losses with your friends, but everyone has benefited from your Miraculous Item. You even gave everyone a free Revival Match ad link, worth a fortune, and you even Ad Slot Rental just to divert everyone's attention and prevent them from feeling guilty about the value of the Resurrection Card itself. But since it involves a keyword, I feel obligated to help you complete it." The Robin gave Chen Li a very friendly smile.
"But..."
I didn't think that much about it.
"Furthermore, I'll say that I hope everyone will transfer the items to you via private message, and I'll encourage everyone not to discuss this topic in the group, to prevent some group members from feeling that if she gives it to me, I have to give it to her too. This way, we can complete the entry's progress without morally blackmailing group members. You should be relieved now, right?" The Robin winked playfully.
"Alright," Chen Li conceded.
Because the Robin had already sent out the message.
The Robin is so gentle and thoughtful.
She's much better than her brother.
Chen Li suspects that now every Sunday, the person on his mind is harassing Chen Li at the same time every morning!
However, leg rings are such a niche accessory, so there probably aren't many people who own them, right?
Chapter 181 Chen Li: What do you mean I still have more than 100,000 Revival Matches to play?
"... Why do so many people have leg rings?" Chen Li was stunned as he looked at the increasing number of red envelopes in his private chat.
[Because in the Honkai world, the leg ring is the true form!]
"..." Fine, Chen Li reluctantly believed the Pixie's nonsense.
Wait, didn't you say you were fixing bugs?
[This is an automated reply. Please leave a message after the beep... beep!]
"The good news is that the entry has been successfully completed." Chen Li looked up and glanced at it.
Not only did they complete it, they exceeded the target.
Leg rings from various sources, such as the Great Herta's leg ring, the Little Herta's leg ring, Ruan Mei's leg ring, Sirin's leg ring... even Asta joined in the fun.
Of course, it's also possible that the little guy from the Little Herta, who was overjoyed with his mechanical spirit, personally took it.
The bad news is that Chen Li has no idea what to do with these leg rings.
Besides the leg ring incident, Chen Li was also bombarded with mentions in the group and harassed by friends who hadn't joined the chat.
The reason is that the moment Chen Li returned to the "present," all of Chen Li's Friends Circle were disconnected.
The culprit was Chen Li, because when he went to the Black Commander's headquarters, he completely wiped out his "friends".
The fact that these people were able to quickly go online and frantically tag Chen Li after receiving the "You have been consumed" notification is also thanks to Chen Li's sense of vigilance— Chen Li is now used to having more than two copies of his Friends Circle Terminal for each friend.
"Speaking of which... how are my Galaxy Rangers friends doing?" After returning to the present and dealing with the trivial matters, Chen Li focused his attention on this important matter.
In the battle where the Galaxy Rangers attacked the Great Extinguisher Zulo, the Galaxy Rangers suffered heavy losses. Otherwise, in the original storyline, it wouldn't have taken a hundred years for Ternan and Acheron Quan to clear away the shadow of death on the sea.
These Galaxy Rangers are often very determined. Although as Blood Sin Spirits they will constantly repeat the actions of the deceased in life, with the help of the Rebirth Pool, perhaps more Blood Sin Spirits with sufficient self-awareness, like Ternan, will be born, thus meeting the minimum requirement to watch the Revival Match advertisement.
"Let me see... Goodness, how many Resurrection Cards did they collect?" After Chen Li used his organizer privileges to open the Resurrection Card application interface, his consciousness arrived in front of a virtual desk, and then countless Resurrection Cards fell from the sky, burying Chen Li.
"Chen Li, are you alright?" Robin asked with concern.
"N-nothing." Chen Li shook his head, trying to clear his head.
"What is this?" Robin immediately noticed the virtual interface that suddenly popped up in front of Chen Li.
"Oh, this is the data table of Resurrection Card fragment drop rates that I retrieved. It details the average drop rate of Resurrection Cards obtained by 500 people who watched the Revival Match advertisement within a hundred years. The data shows that almost everyone who watches the Revival Match advertisement will encounter a certain Resurrection Card fragment that they are destined to obtain but cannot get."
"Indeed, the number I've never gotten is 6, while my brother gets 8." The Robin nodded.
"And the data shows that the average drop rate of this highly sought-after Resurrection Card fragment is 1/3000."
"How much?" The Robin paused for a moment.
Although Robin didn't know where Chen Li found 500 people and made them watch an advertisement for a resurrection card artifact that was forged just a few days ago for 100 years, wasn't the drop rate of 1/3000 a bit outrageous?
"1/3000." Chen Li thought the Robin hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated it again.
To be honest, Chen Li felt that the number was quite romantic.
Amidst a vast expanse of water, a glimmer of hope...
Of course, for those who watch ads, this number of times is certainly not romantic.
"Suppose someone watches the Resurrection Card ads continuously without interruption. Each watch takes 30 seconds, so watching 3,000 times would take about 25 hours... It seems... it's not unacceptable." Robin was about to complain about the irrationality of this mechanism, but after getting the calculation results, she felt that it seemed quite reasonable.
Watching ads continuously for 25 hours will earn you a complete Resurrection Card. Once you have a Resurrection Card, you can designate one person to participate in the Revival Match, with a chance to defeat the opponent and successfully revive.
It doesn't seem like an unbearable price to pay.
"The drop rate for the hardest-to-obtain fragment is 1/3000, which seems unreasonable, but if you include the other 9 fragments, the drop rate for each fragment becomes 1/300. That's less than half the probability of getting a limited 5-star character after maxing out the pity system in a gacha game. It's still acceptable," Chen Li said.
"I'm not complaining about the unreasonable system, but I'm wondering how long it will take me to watch 25 hours of ads? And having to listen to my own singing every time I watch an ad is really embarrassing." The Robin said, while manipulating the small wings behind its neck to cover its eyes.
"Haven't you seen the ads lately? They've been replaced with Herta's brainwashing ads now."
"I know. I just suggested to my brother yesterday that he stop buying me advertising space."
"Oh, no wonder no one is competing with Herta for the advertising space starting at noon today," Chen Li suddenly realized.
"Speaking of which, has anyone collected all the Resurrection Cards yet?" the Robin asked curiously.
"I've got it." Chen Li nodded.
How many?
"More than a million."
"Huh? How much?"
"Now you understand how I felt when I wanted to approve the Resurrection Cards and received over a million applications, right?" Chen Li rubbed his forehead.
There are 8,760 hours in a year. If 500 people work for 100 years and continuously watch the Resurrection Card ads, it's equivalent to watching 438,000,000 hours of ads.
Assuming it takes an average of 25 hours to obtain a complete Resurrection Card, then 438,000,000 hours would produce 17,520,000 Resurrection Cards.
A holiday? What does Blood Sin Spirit need a holiday for?
An 8-hour workday? What does Blood Sin Spirit need an 8-hour workday for?
Rest? What does Blood Sin Spirit need to rest?
Fortunately, purifying the Blood Sin Spirit is a gradual process, so it's impossible for 500 people to simultaneously watch the Resurrection Card advertisement on their Friends Circle Terminal at the beginning. Therefore, Chen Li doesn't actually need to approve more than 17 million Resurrection Cards.
As for why the results differed so much, only God knows.
Moreover, just over a million Resurrection Cards were enough to give Chen Li a headache and make him want to die.
Chen Li couldn't just approve an application without reading its contents simply because it was submitted by Galaxy Rangers. Otherwise, what if a Galaxy Rangers had a sudden inspiration and actually wanted to resurrect Aeon, and Chen Li accidentally agreed, and that Aeon happened to win the Revival Match... then the Equilibrium Aeon would really be in trouble.
"1 million Resurrection Cards, when will I ever finish approving them all? And why is it that out of the 10,000 Resurrection Cards I just approved, more than 1,000 have my name on them?" Chen Li didn't understand, but Chen Li greatly shocked.
After approving 10,000 Resurrection Cards, Chen Li discovered that 80% of them were intended to revive the Galaxy Rangers who died in that battle, 5% were intended to revive his good brother Ternan, 5% were cards to renew for Acheron, a friendly stranger, and 10% were Resurrection Cards to renew for Chen Li, the Miraculous Forger had helped him a lot.
If this ratio continues, it means Chen Li could have more than 100,000 Resurrection Cards, which means Chen Li would have more than 100,000 Revival Matches to play.
