Rare Equipment? The System Really Was Amazing!

Listening to the system notification in his mind, Bai Zhou was truly overjoyed!

That was right—the Villain Roulette had already opened for the third time, even though he had only just transmigrated!

Coming to the hospital first and deliberately showing off in front of a girl had not been in vain!

That was exactly why Bai Zhou had decided to come to the hospital with Lin Wei before going home.

He remembered that in the original story, after Protagonist Chu Yun awakened his SSS-Class Talent and formed a Companion Contract with Lin Wei—

He took the bonus the school had given Chu Yun and rushed to the hospital.

Then, in front of everyone who had bullied Lin Wei, he put on an absolutely spectacular display!

He even won the heart of his childhood sweetheart, Lin Wei.

But now... that Chu Yun was probably still lying in a hospital bed somewhere!

So Bai Zhou would take care of the showing off for him!

As for what Lin Wei was truly thinking, and what kind of expression she was wearing now—

Bai Zhou did not care in the slightest. He directly said to the system in his mind:

"Start the draw!"

The roulette was already open, so why not spin it? Save it for New Year's?

The familiar roulette wheel unfolded before Bai Zhou, its dazzling lights flashing rapidly once more.

Very soon, another strange purple glow lit up!

It was exactly the same as when he had drawn that mirror capable of freely viewing another person's attributes.

Ding! The system notification immediately rang out the next second:

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Divine Weapon Maiden equipment: Chain of Spiritual Resonance!

Chain of Spiritual Resonance: When a Divine Weapon Maiden completes her transformation into a spirit weapon while wearing the Chain of Spiritual Resonance, there is a 10% chance that casting a skill will consume nothing, while the skill's effect is increased by 10%!

Listening to the introduction in his mind—

Bai Zhou could already see a necklace floating within the system space, its pendant an egg-sized heart-shaped blue sapphire.

Even lying there quietly—

Bai Zhou found it exceptionally beautiful. Any girl who saw it would probably be unable to put it down, right?

But that was not what Bai Zhou cared about.

A shocked feeling rose in his heart:

"This is actually an equipment item?!"

Bai Zhou was thoroughly familiar with the original plot.

Of course, he knew that besides cultivating diligently and learning skills, Spirit Masters and Divine Weapon Maidens in this world had another way to increase their strength.

That was by equipping all kinds of items.

Some items had enhancement effects.

Some possessed active skills, while others had passive skills.

But they all shared one trait: they were rare!

Especially equipment items custom-made specifically for Divine Weapon Maidens—they were priceless and nearly impossible to obtain.

That was because these things could not be manufactured in this world at all.

They could only be acquired by killing monsters, clearing dungeons, and similar methods.

Therefore, these things were basically controlled by the powerful and wealthy.

Because if you were weak and obtained something like this, then unless you handed it over to an auction house or some powerful aristocrat—

You would find that everyone you met on the street was a robber.

His family had indeed prepared such things for him long ago.

But Divine Weapon Maiden equipment—

Even his father had only managed to acquire one after all these years: a defensive ring currently worn on his mother's hand.

And yet, on his third system roulette spin today, he had directly drawn such a rare piece of Divine Weapon Maiden equipment?

Although it was only purple-grade, it would still be worth a fortune if brought out!

His luck was simply exploding!

After the brief surprise passed—

Bai Zhou carefully studied the necklace's effects.

There was a ten percent chance to cast a skill without consuming anything, and its effect would increase by another ten percent.

This thing could indeed be given to Lin Wei.

During the battle with Chu Yun just now, Bai Zhou had controlled Lin Wei to cast a skill right from the start.

Although that skill did not consume magic power, it consumed stamina.

And the consumption was shared between the Spirit Master and the Divine Weapon Maiden.

After casting that skill once, Bai Zhou felt that his own stamina was enough to release the same skill at least four more times.

However, according to the feedback from the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, Lin Wei could disappoint him at most two more times before that skill turned gray and became unusable.

Even if he still had strength left, if Lin Wei could not keep going, the skill would be useless anyway.

A ten percent chance to cast an enhanced version of a skill without any consumption.

Bai Zhou felt like this thing was practically an early-game godly item!

And it was only purple-quality.

Just how many unexpected surprises were hidden inside this system?

Bai Zhou was already beginning to look forward to the next Villain Roulette.

But now—

With a thought from Bai Zhou—

The necklace with the heart-shaped sapphire appeared in his hand.

He turned to look at Lin Wei, who was staring blankly at him. Without saying anything, he slowly extended his arms.

Dazed, Lin Wei did not react at all.

By the time she sensed something was wrong, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have ended up in Bai Zhou's embrace?

"Th-this..."

Lin Wei's face turned red once again, and her body instantly stiffened.

She actually closed her eyes on the spot, her heart racing wildly:

Th-this-this-this... not only am I sitting on Bai Zhou's lap, he's even... even hugging me?

But... but I'm not ready to go to a hotel with Bai Zhou yet! How can this be okay? This...

But why don't I feel any resistance when Bai Zhou hugs me? Isn't he a terrible bad guy? Shouldn't I hate him?

What is going on? What is going on here?!

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!

Lin Wei's violently pounding heartbeat reached Bai Zhou's ears with complete clarity.

Even Bai Zhou froze slightly when he heard it.

"What's wrong? Is she having a heart attack?"

Confused, Bai Zhou raised his head after putting the necklace on Lin Wei.

He discovered that Lin Wei had her eyes squeezed tightly shut.

Her hands clutched tightly at his lapels.

Her face was flushed crimson, and her pearly teeth were lightly biting her lip.

"Well, damn!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhou curled his lips.

"No, I was just putting a necklace on you, not trying to eat you. Do you have to react like this?"

Hearing Bai Zhou's voice, Lin Wei's body trembled again.

"A necklace?"

Only then did Lin Wei, whose eyes were still closed, notice a cool sensation around her neck.

She hurriedly opened her eyes and saw an egg-sized sapphire hanging before her chest.

It gleamed brilliantly beneath the light.

"This is... so beautiful!"

Just as Bai Zhou had guessed, no girl could resist a necklace like this.

But the next second, Lin Wei immediately became flustered. She even reached up to take the necklace off as she said:

"N-no, I can't."

"It looks really valuable. I can't... I can't accept it. You..."

But with a soft smack, Bai Zhou gently caught Lin Wei's panicked little hand.

Looking into Lin Wei's eyes, he said in a domineering tone:

"If I give it to you, then take it!"

Lin Wei's pupils trembled violently.

The unquestionable tone in Bai Zhou's voice left Lin Wei unable to resist at all. For some reason, a ripple even stirred in her heart.

Ding! Detected that the Host successfully blocked part of the Protagonist's fortune. Destined Villain Value +100. 3900 more required to activate the Villain Roulette!

Only after hearing the system notification did Bai Zhou slowly uncurl his toes, which had been so embarrassed they were practically digging through the floor!

Yeah, damn it...

That tone of voice had been forced out of him!

He himself did not want to speak like that at all.

But wasn't it all for Villain Value?

Who told him that girls liked that kind of thing?

Bai Zhou had no other choice.

The rest was simple.

As for that private premium ward Doctor Li had mentioned—

Bai Zhou did not even spare it a glance. He immediately arranged for his subordinates to process the discharge papers for Lin Wei's still-unconscious father.

Then he had him transferred straight into the Bai Family's private hospital.

The best doctors, the best equipment—he even had Spirit Masters with healing abilities personally treat Lin Wei's father.

For Bai Zhou, these matters took nothing more than a few words and would not cost him anything at all.

But in Lin Wei's eyes, Bai Zhou had already become her great benefactor—the kind whose kindness she could never repay in her entire life.

After finishing all that—

Bai Zhou finally returned to the Bai Family villa under the escort of his bodyguards.

But the moment he entered while holding Lin Wei's little hand, a strange, mocking voice rang out:

"Oh my~ Isn't this my Brother Bai Zhou? And this girl beside you must be that E-Class trash Divine Weapon Maiden of yours, right?"

"Oh! No, shouldn't I be calling her Sister-in-law?"
