Hard Pity, Double Gold: C2 Yae Miko Makes a Dazzling Entrance!

Shen Luo looked over and felt he could now be certain that his prestige in Spirit City had been firmly established.

His disguise as a god could hardly be called a disguise anymore; it had almost become reality.

Qian Daoliu had just taken a trip to the gates of hell. While nailed to the statue, he had watched blood gush from his chest and felt his life slipping away bit by bit. It had terrified him.

After living so many years, death was, of course, what he feared most.

Shen Luo was the one who had given him that fear.

Yet Shen Luo was also the one who had given him hope of surviving...

When he saw Yan use the healing ability of that twin-tailed girl, Qian Daoliu nearly wept. In the end, he had to be saved by someone on the other side.

The slap to his face had been too much. No, he had no face left at all!

Shen Luo said coldly, "Bibi Dong, repeat what I just said to your Great Enshrined."

Bibi Dong said, "Yes!"

"Lord God told us to remain kneeling until he was satisfied, until we could show him the sincerity that would make him stay."

Hearing that, Qian Daoliu lowered his head to the ground as if resigning himself to his fate.

"Yes!!"

Just then, Yan asked anxiously, "Lord God, can those of us who started pulling cards yesterday continue today?"

Hearing Yan's question, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan nodded eagerly at the same time. They didn't want to keep kneeling here, watching helplessly as the common people pulled cards!

That was torture.

Besides, now that the knowledge of Elemental Reactions had been shared, they wanted to put teams together as soon as possible.

Shen Luo nodded silently. "You may."

Yan, Ling Yuan, and Yue Guan happily stood up, a sight that made Bibi Dong and the others green with envy.

But all they could do was watch longingly. There was nothing they could do.

Then Yan hesitated for a moment before asking Shen Luo, "Lord God, these two are my friends. They've admired you greatly since last night, and they're very willing to exchange Soul Power for characters here. What do you think...?"

Yan was referring to Xie Yue and Hu Liena. The brother and sister had indeed sincerely wanted to pull cards from beginning to end.

Shen Luo nodded. "You may."

Hu Liena and Xie Yue immediately joined hands and began hopping with joy.

Just then, Bibi Dong suddenly murmured, "Nana..."

"Teacher?"

Hu Liena replied.

Bibi Dong gestured with her eyes and whispered, "Put in a good word for me. I want to pull too..."

But just as Hu Liena was about to speak, Shen Luo sternly cut her off.

"No. If you want to plead for her, you can kneel with her."

Hu Liena lowered her head in fright, and Bibi Dong hurriedly bowed hers as well, her face full of embarrassment.

Only then did Shen Luo say, "You can trace a copy of the Elemental Reaction chart on paper yourselves. That should make it easier to consult. Now, let's continue pulling cards."

At that, the common people, whether they had pulled cards or not, all looked for paper and wrote down the points shown on the chart.

After all, this didn't cost any Soul Power. It was knowledge they could get for free, and even if they weren't pulling cards now, they could still use it when they did in the future.

Even those without Soul Power could show off in front of others once they understood Elemental Reactions.

After all, they had heard that even a trash Soul Master on the continent could act like a sage in public by relying on some core theories.

Yan, Ling Yuan, and Yue Guan all squeezed into the crowd.

With their five-star characters to back them up, they now had even more prestige among the common people than the Great Enshrined and Bibi Dong.

"Out of the way! Let us look first! I have a genuine five-star! Who dares cut in line?!"

Yan looked imperiously at the common people and took a spot at the front with Ling Yuan and Yue Guan.

The common people were angry but dared not speak. After all, the three of them really did have genuine five-stars, and they truly couldn't afford to offend them.

Compared with those three, the common people would rather pick on Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu as they were now.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena hurriedly pulled her brother over to Shen Luo. They hadn't pulled cards yet, so they weren't in a hurry to learn about Elemental Reactions.

"Lord God, my brother and I want to pull cards!"

Hu Liena spoke excitedly. She was eager to see what her first five-star would be like.

Of course, she was even more eager for it to be a genuine five-star.

Shen Luo asked, "Do you understand the rules?"

Hu Liena nodded at once. "Yes, Yan explained them clearly to us."

Shen Luo asked, "Then how many levels of Soul Power do you want to pay?"

Without even thinking, Hu Liena said, "Nine levels of Soul Power!"

That was also what Yan had recommended. He had said that rather than suffer through ten pulls at a time, she might as well go straight for soft pity and get a five-star first.

"Will Nana get a genuine five-star?"

Bibi Dong murmured as she knelt on the ground. She was truly envious now, itching to pull cards herself.

After all, the two elders had already explained the rules to all of them last night.

Having been fiercely competitive all her life, she felt utterly aggrieved. Why could she, the Pope, only kneel and watch?!

Shen Luo said, "The card pulls will now begin."

On the system panel, rate-up banners flashed past one after another, finally stopping on Yae Miko's banner.

Shen Luo was taken aback. The random selection had landed on a popular goddess.

He said, "You randomly got a genuine five-star character who has a few things in common with you. She's very popular, but whether you can pull her depends on your luck."

That made Hu Liena even more excited.

On the panel, nine shooting stars flashed past in succession.

[Pull results: five-star Jean ×1, four-star Fischl ×2, four-star Chongyun ×1, four-star Favonius Sword ×5...]

[Host received: Soul Power ×9, Starglitter ×26, Stardust ×1350]

Shen Luo paused, then said helplessly, "Looks like your luck wasn't good. You missed her and lost the fifty-fifty."

The reply struck Hu Liena like a bolt from the blue, leaving her dumbfounded.

"Ah!!!"

Clutching her head, she jumped up and down in frustration.

Ninety card slots appeared before Hu Liena. In the first slot was Jean, conspicuously marked with a "lost fifty-fifty" label.

Shen Luo said, "Although you lost the fifty-fifty, you know the rules, so you should understand that hard pity has now been triggered. Your next pulls are also guaranteed to be on this same banner."

At that, Hu Liena jerked her head up, determination appearing in her eyes.

"I! Want! Another! Ninety! Pulls!"

She's seeing red! She's seeing red!

Shen Luo chuckled inwardly. Hu Liena was definitely caught up in it now.

Her brother Xie Yue swallowed. Seeing how determined Hu Liena was, he felt more than ever how important it was to get a genuine five-star at the first soft pity.

Otherwise, it was all too easy to lose one's composure. Nine hard-earned levels of Soul Power had vanished just like that.

"Nana's ruthless. She must have dropped straight to Soul Elder by now..."

Bibi Dong couldn't help commenting, and the expressions on the enshrined ones' faces were quite a sight as well.

Another nine shooting stars appeared on the panel, but this time, Shen Luo silently widened his eyes.

[Pull results: five-star Yae Miko ×2, four-star Chongyun ×2, four-star Fischl ×1, four-star The Flute ×4...]

[Host received: Soul Power ×9, Starglitter ×32, Stardust ×1350]

Shen Luo looked at Hu Liena in surprise. Pulling cards really was a fucking mystical business.

"Two genuine five-stars... You're the first person so far to get a C1 genuine five-star!"
