[Exchange Shop]
The items in the shop were mostly item cards. Skill cards and attribute cards were quite rare.
Most one-star and two-star items were just ordinary materials.
Junze saw plenty of ores, potions, food, recipes…
Nothing particularly special.
As for three-star items, they were a bit more interesting.
[Golden Fertilizer], [5-Second Invisibility Potion], [Disarm], [Stargazer Pie Recipe]…
All of them were one-time use items, but very practical.
"Hey, this Golden Fertilizer is amazing! System, I need this!"
Junze complained.
The "Delicious Qingxin" he had been growing was already draining the life out of the flowerbed.
He needed some powerful fertilizer.
Golden Fertilizer was perfect.
As for four-star items, none were available yet.
Something to look forward to in the future.
"In that case, time to wish today."
Junze rubbed his hands together, a confident smile on his face as he looked at his Primogem stash.
After saving for so long, plus various compensations, he had accumulated enough for forty pulls.
Four ten-pulls.
No way he wouldn't get a gold.
"Here we go!"
Junze tapped the wish screen.
The interface instantly shifted into a sky full of stars.
Purple?
Skip. Next.
He didn't even bother looking before clicking again.
Still purple?
Again.
Third ten-pull.
Still purple.
As expected, when unlucky people spam pulls, they usually get nothing good.
Looking at his final ten-pull, Junze's face had already darkened.
"Last one."
At this point, he had zero expectation of getting gold.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would just be another purple.
"Boom!"
As the starlight burst forth, Junze's expression froze slightly.
Not because he got gold.
But because this time, he didn't even get a single purple.
"What the hell! Refund my Primogems! Not even a purple in ten pulls?!"
Junze exploded in anger.
"This is definitely a bug! Compensate me, you scam system!"
At that moment, the updated system responded.
[Beginner ten-pull protection has been used. Pity reset to three-star]
Junze's mouth twitched.
"Three-star pity…"
A bad feeling rose in his heart.
He checked the results of all forty pulls.
"I'm numb…"
Forty pulls.
Three four-stars, seven three-stars, and countless one- and two-star items.
Four-star:
[Item · Coconut Milk] ×2
[Item · Illusory Brush (One-time)]
Three-star:
[Item · Golden Fertilizer] ×4
[Skill · Basic Painting]
[Skill · Basic Planting]
[Skill · Basic Cooking]
One- and two-star:
Various ores, low-tier recipes, and a massive amount of [Low-Quality Golden Fertilizer]
"Smack!"
Junze slapped himself hard.
"I told you not to say you wanted Golden Fertilizer! I told you!"
He felt like this entire pull session had been completely dominated by fertilizer.
Looking at all the different grades of it, he felt utterly hopeless.
"Heh… heh. At least I won't need fertilizer for farming anymore."
Junze forced out a bitter laugh.
With this much, the flowerbeds at Yuehai Pavilion could probably turn into sacred soil.
"And why are there so many duplicates?"
He looked at the cards in his hand, feeling a headache coming on.
Did duplicate cards have any use?
He picked up the three skill cards and used them directly.
They turned into particles of light and merged into his body.
After using them, knowledge of [Basic Cooking] appeared in his mind.
The other two directly increased proficiency by 10%.
"Uh… I guess it's not a loss."
Even though he said that, Junze still felt pretty exhausted inside.
What kind of system even works like this?
"But what does this [Coconut Milk] do?"
Junze looked curiously at the card in his hand, then opened his eyes and glanced at Ganyu.
In the next moment, he used both [Coconut Milk] cards.
Others might not see it, but Junze clearly saw the cards turn into purple light particles and fall onto Ganyu.
At that moment, Ganyu suddenly froze.
A faint blush appeared on her face, along with a look of disbelief.
She lowered her head, stammering,
"T-this… this shouldn't be possible…"
She had read Cloud Retainer's books before.
A qilin would indeed undergo changes when condensing essence.
But that should only happen once!
So why did her clothes suddenly feel tight again?
Due to the design of her outfit, some of it was even slightly spilling out from the sides.
Without a doubt, Ganyu had grown again.
Even if it was just a little, it was undeniably growth.
This wasn't her imagination.
Ganyu shrank back slightly, her voice carrying a hint of tears.
"C-could it be… this is punishment for the dream I had yesterday?"
"Please don't…"
The usually gentle master now looked like she was about to cry.
"I'm already so tired every day, and now I have to deal with even more… wuu…"
Ganyu looked completely wronged.
She didn't dare continue working. Hugging her chest, she quickly looked around before rushing toward her bedroom.
Her body and mind both felt extremely uncomfortable.
She needed to release the newly condensed qilin essence immediately.
But this time, it felt even heavier than before.
Did she really have that much excess power after thousands of years?
That couldn't be real.
"Wow~~"
Junze raised his eyebrows.
At that moment, his bad luck from the gacha didn't matter anymore.
"Just this card alone made it worth it!"
Junze had clearly understood the effect of using duplicate [Coconut Milk] cards.
It made the "good stuff" even more abundant.
He was already looking forward to what three of these cards would produce.
"Master, you've worked hard."
Junze spoke with a shameless, taking-advantage tone.
"But at this rate, growing up feels like it'll take forever again."
After all, coconut milk was just that nourishing.
After this little episode, Junze turned his attention to the final four-star card.
"Illusory Brush? A permanent pool item."
He checked its description.
[Item · Illusory Brush]
[Description: A four-star item. A brush that connects illusion and reality, capable of turning drawings into real objects for a limited time. Also known as Ma Liang's Magic Brush. One-time use.]
"Ma Liang's Magic Brush? This is awesome!"
Junze's eyes lit up.
"If I draw a Tsar Bomba, wouldn't any enemy I face just get wiped out instantly?"
He felt this item was incredibly powerful.
Rubbing his chin, Junze muttered,
"But this one is one-time use. Is there a permanent version?"
"Would it be in the standard pool, or a future limited banner?"
He wasn't sure.
But saving more Primogems was definitely the right move.
If he was unlucky, then he'd just brute-force it with quantity.
He refused to believe that saving enough Primogems wouldn't eventually get him a five-star.
After finishing his pulls, Junze walked into the bedroom.
"Feeling a bit sleepy."
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
He really was just planning to sleep, not to tease his master.
After all, she was already working so hard.
As a disciple, he should care for his master.
Meanwhile, Shenhe, who was meditating nearby, glanced at Junze with confusion.
"What was with him just now… getting frustrated one moment and happy the next?"
From Shenhe's perspective, Junze had been standing there with his eyes closed, constantly changing expressions.
Like a complete lunatic.
