A Rich Bronze Card Pool, Drawing Again!

Opening the lunchbox, a rich aroma wafted out, and Xiao Wu's eyes immediately filled with longing.

"Here, eat."

Jiang Lin took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xiao Wu, then picked up another pair and began serving himself food.

Out of habit, Jiang Lin had grabbed an extra pair of chopsticks when packing the meal. He hadn't expected them to come in handy now.

"Mmm, it's so good! Thank you so much, Jiang Lin."

"It's nothing. Eat slowly. I'm not really that hungry, so if you like it, have some more."

Jiang Lin smiled. Then, he suddenly noticed a white grain of rice stuck to Xiao Wu's cheek. Acting on instinct, he reached out.

However, just as Jiang Lin's fingers were about to touch Xiao Wu's cheek, his hand abruptly froze in midair.

Xiao Wu had noticed, and she looked at Jiang Lin with confusion in her eyes.

"Eh, what's wrong, Jiang Lin?"

"Haha, nothing. There seemed to be some rice on your face, so I wanted to wipe it off for you."

Meeting Xiao Wu's innocent, bewildered gaze, Jiang Lin's eyes were full of embarrassment.

But since he had already reached out, how could he pull his hand back now? So Jiang Lin simply went with the flow, touched Xiao Wu's face, and held the grain of rice out before her.

"Th-thank you."

Feeling that unfamiliar sensation on her cheek, Xiao Wu's face immediately flushed. She only murmured her thanks, not daring to lift her head again.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Just a reflex."

Jiang Lin gave an awkward smile. Then, as though they had reached a silent understanding, the two merely picked up food and swallowed it without speaking another word.

But though the tree wished to be still, the wind refused to stop. Everyone else in Dormitory Seven had seen what had just happened.

For a moment, teasing, ambiguous murmurs quietly rose around them.

"Damn, Boss is actually eating from the same lunchbox as Sister Xiao Wu! He even touched Sister Xiao Wu just now! When did they get so close?!"

"I'm so jealous of Boss. Sister Xiao Wu is so pretty and has such a great figure. Boss really got there first by being nearby."

"Mmm, I want to eat with Sister Xiao Wu too..."

"Hmph, what is the world coming to? People's hearts have truly grown corrupt!"

Although Tang San had not met Xiao Wu as he had in the original story, for some reason, seeing the two acting so intimately still made him feel inexplicably irritated and stifled.

However, Tang San knew he was no match for Jiang Lin. To ease his frustration, he simply got out of bed and left the dormitory, choosing to let what he couldn't see stop bothering him.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Lin opened his eyes.

After looking around and confirming that everyone in Dormitory Seven was asleep, Jiang Lin quietly got out of bed and left the dormitory.

A few minutes later, Jiang Lin appeared on the rooftop.

"I have 1,330 Collapse Points now, just enough for one draw from the Bronze Card Pool. I'll have to draw sooner or later anyway, so I might as well do it now."

Jiang Lin was somewhat expectant. With a thought, the system's prompt immediately rang out.

[Ding!]

[Collapse Points -1000, Bronze Draw Wheel activated]

[Warm reminder: Starting from the Bronze Card Pool, to adapt to the current world's power system, all cards will receive varying degrees of enhancement and trait changes]

The next moment, a bronze wheel several times larger than the previous Black Iron wheel appeared before Jiang Lin.

At the same time, cards far more luxurious and precious than before entered Jiang Lin's field of vision.

[Inheritance Category: Advanced Quanzhen Manual, Violet Mist Skill, Evil-Repelling Swordplay, Toad Skill, Fragmentary Northern Darkness Skill, Fragmentary Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Fragmentary Nine Swords of Dugu, Fragmentary Bridal Dress Skill, Fragmentary Innate Formless Sword Qi, Fragmentary Thirteen Life-Seizing Swords, Fragmentary Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method...]

[Summoning Category I: Li Mochou, Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Ji Ruxue, Chenyue, Lian Nichang, Tian Yan, Shaosiming, Xiaomeng, Second Dream...]

[...]

"Th-this is such a luxurious lineup?!"

Looking at the dazzling array of cards in the pool, Jiang Lin's face was full of shock, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"As expected, you get what you pay for. This Bronze Card Pool costs ten times as much as the Black Iron Card Pool, after all."

"Come on, it's time to defy fate. Give me something good!"

The next moment, the Bronze Draw Wheel began spinning madly.

Several minutes later, the wheel gradually slowed. The pointer swept across one card zone after another before a blinding golden light finally burst forth!

Jiang Lin's breath caught, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Damn, am I really this lucky? I got gold again?!"

The next moment, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, for drawing a Bronze Three-Star Summoning Card—Web Heaven-Level Killer Sword Yan!]

[Warm reminder: The Fragmentary status of this character card indicates that her strength is sealed. Her initial strength is Soul King. This seal will gradually be unlocked as the summoned person's favorability toward the Host increases]

[Please note: Unlocking the seal is not limited to a single method. Please explore other methods on your own]

"Tian Yan? Isn't she a character from The Legend of Qin? After the previous generation of Jingni died, she was taken back by Web's higher-ups and trained as the second-generation Jingni, inheriting her mother's title. After that, she infiltrated the Farmer School in secret..."

"But the power system of The Legend of Qin shouldn't be that high, right? Yet even in her sealed state, she's already at the level of a Soul King. How strong would she be at full strength?"

"Could that be why the system gave that warning before the draw?"

Jiang Lin immediately reviewed the system's earlier prompt, then tried asking the system.

"System, is there an upper limit to card enhancements? And what exactly are card traits?"

[Ding!]

[This question concerns a hidden system rule. Please explore it on your own]

"This system even has hidden rules?"

A trace of surprise appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes.

Jiang Lin stopped dwelling on it and directly took the summoning card out of his inventory, selecting use.

The next moment, a Bronze Gate brimming with mysterious aura tore through space, and a gentle-looking woman appeared before Jiang Lin.

The woman looked around eighteen or nineteen years old. Her skin was fair, her brows and eyes soft, and her beauty was breathtaking.

Her long black hair was coiled into a bun. She wore a dark blue cloak, a snow-white fur scarf around her neck, and a moon-white cross-collared robe beneath it. Even from a distance, Jiang Lin could sense the air of a refined noblewoman around her.

"This seems to be what she often wore in the Farmer School. Judging from her appearance alone, no one would imagine that such a gentle woman was Jingni, Web's Heaven-Level Killer who had slaughtered countless people and struck fear into the hearts of so many."

Jiang Lin smiled faintly and walked toward Tian Yan.
