Primogems, Ten Pulls!

Wu Wanghai lingered in the cemetery for quite a while before saying goodbye to Navia and the others.

Navia nodded. Watching the two vanish the moment they finished speaking, her eyes widened.

Navia had yet to experience Wu Wanghai's teleportation.

At Palais Mermonia, Wu Wanghai casually sent Neuvillette home before vanishing again and appearing at the teleport waypoint outside the Opera Epiclese.

I hope I'm not late. What did Lyney say before? Meet up here, and then...?

Unable to make heads or tails of it, Wu Wanghai slowly walked toward the Fountain of Lucine and began spacing out.

Since the rain had only just stopped, there was hardly anyone around the Fountain of Lucine.

The Fountain of Lucine was unusually quiet, with only the gentle sound of flowing water.

Come to think of it, ever since the Vacher incident ended, he had no idea whether they had vanished along with Vacher. In any case, he could no longer hear the voices of the spirits in the water.

As Wu Wanghai pondered this, with no other sounds to interfere, the spirit voices he had heard before surfaced again.

They whispered softly, and he vaguely caught something like, "Good... good..."

Standing beside the Fountain of Lucine, Wu Wanghai was about to go in again and listen more closely.

Just then, a young man called out from farther away—more precisely, from the opera house entrance.

"Little brother! Over here!"

Wu Wanghai looked over and discovered it was Lyney. Perfect!

Wu Wanghai promptly shoved the earlier oddity to the back of his mind. The big spender was here!

As for that voice just now, it was probably another side quest. No rush—the Primogems came first.

"Big bro! I've missed you guys so much!" Wu Wanghai said with a beaming smile.

He even spread his arms and ran toward Lyney.

Thump, thump, thump. Lyney did not refuse Wu Wanghai's enthusiastic embrace, letting him hug him and pat his back three times.

Wu Wanghai released Lyney and spotted Lynette beside him. His eyes lit up as he said in an odd tone, "Oh, my God! How incredible! Look who I found... My dear Lynette, it's only been a few days, yet you've become even cuter. Let us share a passionate French..."

The previously calm Lyney was instantly set off by those words. Seeing Wu Wanghai reach toward his sister, he immediately placed a hand on Wu Wanghai's shoulder. "What are you trying to do?"

As he spoke, Lyney increased the force of his grip.

Feeling the pain, Wu Wanghai immediately lowered the injured shoulder and bent over. "Oh, ow, ow! Easy, Brother Lyney. I just suddenly remembered your customs—a gentleman's kiss..."

An even stronger force suddenly pressed down on him, nearly toppling Wu Wanghai over. "Ah!"

With Lynette's ᗜ_ᗜ expression and Lyney's murderous glare, Wu Wanghai awkwardly changed the subject.

"So, did you just finish a magic performance..." Wu Wanghai pretended to lower his head in thought.

Lyney did not dwell further on Wu Wanghai's antics and replied, "Yeah. It's just that it's been raining often these past few days, so far fewer people have been coming to watch the magic shows."

"Oh, I see. So... hehehe." Wu Wanghai suddenly grinned wickedly and secretly made a money-counting gesture at Lyney with his right hand.

"Where's my merchandise?" Wu Wanghai suddenly lowered his voice, making it look like they were conducting some shady deal to anyone watching.

Lyney took off his top hat in front of Wu Wanghai and kept flipping it around.

??? Wu Wanghai stared at him in confusion.

Pop! A party popper went off.

Wu Wanghai glanced to the side. Lynette was holding a party popper and had fired one into the air above them.

Colorful strips of paper fluttered down.

"Ta-da~" Lynette supplied the sparkling sound effect.

Then, a cardboard box half as tall as a person appeared in Lyney's hands.

Lyney held the box and shook it up and down. The sound of stones clinking against each other came from within. "You can always trust a magician's surprise~"

"Ohhhhh!!!" Wu Wanghai instantly became excited. It was a whole box of Primogems.

Wow!!! Wu Wanghai opened the cardboard box, as though dazzling rainbow light were pouring out from inside.

Ding! You have obtained: 5,200 Primogems.

"Holy shit!!!" Wu Wanghai could not help blurting out his impolite surprise.

Re... rebirth...

Thud. Wu Wanghai suddenly dropped to his knees, his face solemn as he prepared to bow to Lyney and Lynette.

Neither Lyney nor Lynette had time to react.

"My reborn parents! Godfather and godmother! Accept your son's bow!" Wu Wanghai started bending over.

Fortunately, Lyney reacted first, and he was stronger than Wu Wanghai. He hurriedly stopped Wu Wanghai before he could kowtow.

"There's no need for that, no need! This is our transaction, too," Lyney said awkwardly. This guy... they had merely given him a box containing far more Primogems than promised.

Lyney had not expected to get so many from the children at the House of the Hearth, either.

One child in particular had contributed the most—over two thousand in total. Lyney had only traded a brand-new, oversized mechanical toy model worth fifty thousand Mora for them.

Wu Wanghai waved a hand. "That's nothing. You gave me so many that I could go blow Celestia out of the sky!"

"..." Lyney was speechless. This guy was exaggerating way too much. Celestia, really?

Wu Wanghai was in a fantastic mood today. He casually opened the interface and began pulling.

He grandly began his first ten-pull since arriving in Teyvat, but the moment he saw the result, his mood plunged straight to the bottom.

A purple meteor streaked across the screen.

Then a blue interface appeared first.

Obtained 3-star weapon: Debate Club.

Aminos!

Wu Wanghai did not dare tap any further. At that moment, he desperately wished someone could pull for him.

He had always been unbelievably unlucky! With the tiniest sliver of hope, Wu Wanghai wanted to see what four-star item he would get from this batch.

On the second pull, ding ding ding ding, four stars appeared on the screen.

A four-star on the second pull—pretty damn nice~~~ Wu Wanghai thought.

But when Wu Wanghai looked more closely, it felt as though something surged into his head. He immediately fainted.

"Huh?" Lyney was startled when he saw Wu Wanghai suddenly collapse. Lynette also rushed over at once and helped the fallen Wu Wanghai up.

"What's wrong with you?" Lynette offered her first greeting since they met.

Wu Wanghai sat up without saying a word.

Obtained 4-star weapon: Luxurious Sea-Lord.

That was right. It was that four-star salted-fish greatsword.

"Boohoohoo..." Wu Wanghai suddenly began dry-sobbing. Even though that free event weapon could now be pulled, why did it have to be this? Even Festering Desire would have been better!

Wu Wanghai let out a deep sigh and reluctantly accepted his fate. There would be more chances later.

Obtained 3-star item: Exquisite Butterfly Hairpin.

Wu Wanghai tilted his head. Strange items had started appearing.
