Let's do a hundred consecutive draws...

He had plenty of crystals right now. If Qin Mo didn't care about the mission evaluation and just completed the task, he would get enough crystals for two hundred consecutive draws.

Qin Mo had gotten into the habit of saving one hundred consecutive draws for when he needed them to draw for Kiana, aiming to get something that could deal with the current situation.

Since he had a surplus now, he decided to try drawing for himself.

He didn't choose the character pool but the item pool instead.

After tapping ten times in a row on the ten-draw option and seeing the golden light appear only at the very end, Qin Mo felt a bit helpless.

"So, is it my luck that's too bad, or is it this system's problem?"

Speaking of bad luck, Qin Mo thought of Kiana, that lucky emperor. He also seemed to recall hearing someone mention that Fu Hua's luck was very bad. Could he be on the same level as her?

As usual, he first opened the S-rank card.

Dragon Talisman (S)

Effect: Can unleash powerful explosions. When combined with Fire Demon Qi, its power can be doubled.

Introduction: One of the Twelve Talismans.

A simple and unpretentious introduction, but the effect was very powerful. It was also one of the SS-rank synthesis items. Although Qin Mo couldn't equip SS-rank cards with his current cost, and he was still one level short, he was still far from collecting them all.

The nine purple items were: Contract Document, Laplace's Paper, AZOTH Sword, Black Key, Dragon Tooth Soldier's Dragon Tooth, Lancelot's Helmet, Teleportation Potion * 10, Exploding Talisman * 10, Wind Demon Shuriken.

For ease of identification, Qin Mo arranged them by their origins. He discovered that this draw involved a new work, or rather, a new world. At first, when he saw the Contract Document, he hadn't realized where it was from, but when he saw Laplace's Paper, he knew.

Contract Document (A)

Effect: An item necessary for holding a Gift Game. After recording the host, game rules, victory conditions, penalty items, failure conditions, and participant requirements, a Gift Game can be generated. Gift Games have no limit on the number of times they can be played, but their content cannot be changed.

Introduction: Those who violate the rules will be punished by the rules.

Laplace's Paper (A)

Effect: A high-tier card known as a Gift Card. It is a part of Omniscience and can connect with the soul, contain one's own abilities, and reveal their true form. One card can only contain one ability.

Introduction: As it is only a part of Omniscience, it cannot analyze Gifts with excessively high status.

Qin Mo felt that among the items he drew this time, only three were somewhat useful. Besides these two, the other was Lancelot's Helmet from Type-Moon. Although Qin Mo felt that the helmet shouldn't originally have this ability.

Lancelot's Helmet (A)

Effect: When worn, it can conceal one's appearance and make it impossible for others to recognize the wearer's true identity.

Introduction: A helmet that has gained some power due to the influence of Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, but it can only make one unrecognizable.

Putting away the other items, Qin Mo took out Laplace's Paper. He couldn't use the helmet or the Contract Document for now. After all, a Gift Game couldn't be held on a whim. He would deal with it when the need arose later.

Although Qin Mo wanted to use this item to appraise his system, he thought about it and gave up. If it couldn't be appraised, wouldn't it be a waste?

Gift Cards were not particularly precious in the Box Garden, but Qin Mo only had this one.

After some thought, Qin Mo chose to put his only special ability, his Stand, into it for appraisal.

[Stand: Heaven's Gate]

[A special energetic being connected to its user with a humanoid form, possessing extremely high growth potential.]

[Can grow by devouring pure spiritual power.]

[Current Abilities Held: White Snake, Killer Queen.]

It was the same as he knew. But Heaven's Gate devoured spiritual power? DISCs were the materialization of spiritual power, right? But where could he obtain spiritual power other than DISCs? Feather Dust?

Before Qin Mo could finish thinking, he saw another line of text appear on the Gift Card, seemingly answering his question.

[Can devour Stigmata... static ... become... static ...]

The last line of text had not fully displayed before the Gift Card was covered in cracks and stopped displaying anything.

Qin Mo saw the last displayed words.

"Stigmata?"

Qin Mo fell into thought, looking at the last information on the Gift Card and the cracks.

There were Stigmata in this world, but those Stigmata were on people. Qin Mo couldn't possibly peel them off.

Although there were artificial Stigmata, Qin Mo didn't believe that those mass-produced items would contain any so-called spiritual power. Perhaps that was why artificial Stigmata had side effects.

No...

He still had a way to create Stigmata...

Perhaps the Gift Card had collapsed because it involved the system?

If that was the case, it was fortunate he hadn't used Laplace's Paper to appraise his system.

Otherwise, it would have been a complete waste, displaying nothing, and perhaps it wouldn't have just cracked but shattered completely.

Chapter 14 Mission Complete

The fifth day since arriving at St. Freya Academy...

Qin Mo was typing away in his dorm room. The next day, after a series of physical examinations, they were finally officially enrolled in St. Freya Academy.

On the third day, Mei and the others started attending classes and officially met their classmates. Qin Mo's courses were scheduled for the following week, as this wasn't just a new curriculum but an entirely new system.

Qin Mo was currently typing up some simple teaching materials. Although most of the Ripple and Haki techniques were taught through demonstration and hands-on practice, this was considered too old-fashioned for people of this era.

Furthermore, the simulation system at St. Freya Academy couldn't replicate the effects of Ripple and Haki using Honkai Energy.

Therefore, Qin Mo had to write the textbooks himself.

"Qin Mo! Get out here!"

With a loud bang, Theresa kicked open the dorm room door.

"Huh? Theresa?"

Qin Mo poked his head out, seeing Theresa, dressed in a nun's habit and carrying Judah on her back, swagger into the dorm.

"If it's about the textbooks, we're still a bit short."

"That stuff can wait. Even without textbooks, you still have to teach properly!"

Theresa carelessly made an irresponsible statement: "Didn't you want a villa? It's ready!"

"Oh! It's ready? Then let's go, let's go!"

As they walked, Qin Mo noticed that Theresa seemed very happy.

"Did something good happen? You're so cheerful?"

Theresa, skipping ahead, stopped when she heard Qin Mo's question.

"Hmm? Of course! After all, we're moving into a new house."

"Wait a minute? You said a new house..."

Qin Mo thought carefully. "Wasn't that villa for us to live in?"

"Yes, it's for us. We agreed to supervise, remember?"

Qin Mo understood instantly. He understood even more when he saw the villa. Theresa had built the villa under his name and then moved in under the guise of supervision.

"Is this considered abusing her power?"

Qin Mo mused, but after seeing the luxurious villa, he didn't really care anymore.

Theresa, perhaps because she also wanted to live there, had the villa built to be incredibly large and luxurious. Although he knew Schicksal's technology was involved, it was astonishing that it could be built in just five days.

"This is the Headmaster's room!"

As soon as they entered, Theresa ran upstairs and shouted down to Qin Mo, leaning out from the second floor.

"Alright, alright... then I'll live..."

Qin Mo glanced around the rooms. Just as he was about to choose one, Theresa jumped down from the second floor and pointed to a room in the corner.

"You live here!"

"Why?"

Theresa crossed her arms and said matter-of-factly, "As the Headmaster, it is the Headmaster's duty to ensure the sound living conditions of the students!"

"As the only male here, isn't this perfectly normal!"

Seeing Theresa's self-righteousness, Qin Mo nodded and opened the door to the corner room. "Yes, yes, yes, you're right."

"Oh, not bad..."

Although the room was in a somewhat secluded corner, it was very spacious, with even a restroom and bathroom inside.

"Of course. This way, we can avoid potential situations. And I'm not trying to make things difficult for you; it's a practical arrangement."

"Forget it, then. But I'd like to add two more things."

The current situation was acceptable, and there were no inconveniences, so Qin Mo didn't mind.

"Add two more things?"

"Is there anything else that hasn't been prepared?"

Theresa watched Qin Mo walk outside and followed him. "My preparations should be quite complete. I even added a pond and a rock garden... Ahhh! What are you doing!"

Theresa watched as Qin Mo grabbed the rock garden and forcibly pulled it out of the ground.

"Ah, look at what you've done!"

Casually placing the rock garden aside, Qin Mo said, "I had no choice. Only this spot was suitable. Didn't I mention before that I needed an open space?"

"Isn't this space open enough? I thought it was too open, so I added these."

So, you were doing this for my own good?

Qin Mo walked over to the pond. The rock garden could be removed, but the pond couldn't.

"What are you doing?"

Theresa asked curiously, watching Qin Mo stare blankly after pulling out the rock garden.

Just as the battles of Stand users seemed inexplicable to ordinary people, Qin Mo's actions while using the system within his consciousness were similar.

"I know!"

After confirming the item, Qin Mo suddenly spoke.

"Know what?"

Theresa followed Qin Mo, watching him inexplicably pull out the rockery, then stare blankly in place for a long time, before suddenly understanding. He then squatted by the pond, doing who knows what. It was truly...

Before Theresa could figure out what was happening, she saw steam rising from the pond, which had been clear water.

"Huh!? Did you boil the water?"

Theresa looked at the steaming pond, feeling fortunate that she hadn't put any fish in it yet. Otherwise, they would probably all be cooked by now, turning it into a large pond of fish soup.

But in a place she couldn't see, the internal situation had also been completely changed.

"It's not boiled, it's a hot spring."

Standing up beside the hot spring, Qin Mo had just learned that this thing could actually be fused with an existing pond, provided the pond wasn't too large.

"A hot spring? A hot spring isn't just about heating a pond full of water, and there's no volcano under St. Freya Academy, so how could there be... Is it really a hot spring!?"

Theresa walked over to the hot spring and scooped up a handful of water, smelling it. As a Herrscher, her sense of smell was incredibly keen, and she clearly detected the scent contained within the water in her hand.

"Of course. From now on, we can enjoy hot springs in the courtyard, and..."

Theresa looked back and saw that a large tree had been planted where the rockery had been.

"Don't we already have many trees in the courtyard?"

"My tree is different. You'll know tomorrow."

Theresa racked her brain but couldn't figure out what was different about this tree. However, she did notice, "Speaking of which, where did you hide this thing? Never mind the hot spring, where did you get the tree from?"
