500 DiamondsInnate Skill: True Riding
True Riding:
A universal riding ability capable of controlling almost any "mount." Humans, elves, beastmen—even fairies or gods can be freely ridden.
After achieving the First Blood milestone, Cao Ye was… rather busy.
Having just arrived in Orario, it had already been two months since he last experienced anything like this.
Now that the drought had finally ended—
There was no stopping him.
Time passed quietly.
Morning sunlight turned into the bright noon sun.
Then the sun gradually descended into the evening horizon.
Only at dusk did Cao Ye slowly wake up.
But the moment he awoke, he felt a soft weight resting against his arm.
Looking down, he saw Chun Ji, curled up against his chest like a little fox.
She looked incredibly delicate.
On the bed, a small crimson flower marked what had happened.
Cao Ye knew that from this moment on, this mischievous fox truly belonged to him.
At that moment he remembered—
Earlier in the morning, the system had displayed some notification.
But he had ignored it.
Opening the System Panel, Cao Ye noticed something immediately.
An extra 500 diamonds had appeared.
Name: Cao Ye
Current Gacha Pool:Fate
Diamonds: 550
Inside the Achievements tab, he found the completed achievement [First Blood] along with the newly acquired skill True Riding.
But after reading the description, Cao Ye was speechless.
"You call this… a Riding skill?"
After accepting the skill, his body underwent a noticeable enhancement.
And not just his body—
Even his "little brother" had clearly been strengthened.
Cao Ye was now absolutely certain.
This skill was not a serious skill at all.
Still…
He was extremely satisfied with it.
After all—
What man wouldn't want the ability to ride everything?
Looking at Chun Ji still sleeping peacefully beside him, Cao Ye even considered waking her up for Round Two.
But remembering that she had only just lost her virginity, he decided against it.
Instead, his gaze shifted toward the 550 diamonds shining brightly on the system panel.
The gambler's instinct inside him stirred.
Five ten-pulls.
"Chun Ji, lend me some of your luck."
In feng shui, foxes are considered auspicious creatures, capable of attracting fortune and warding off misfortune.
Cao Ye kissed Chun Ji lightly on the cheek.
Then he immediately started a ten-pull.
The familiar interface appeared.
The familiar animation began.
A card pack appeared.
Cards flew out one by one.
Then came the moment everyone waited for—
Card Reveal.
[Command Seal]
[Black Stockings]
[Black Stockings]
[Black Stockings]
...
A crimson three-mark symbol appeared on the back of Cao Ye's right hand.
The shape resembled a circular crest formed by three blood-red lines.
The moment he obtained the Command Seal, Cao Ye felt enormous magical energy contained within the marks.
Because this world lacked a Holy Grail, his Command Seals were different.
Instead of being one-time consumables—
They functioned like a complete magical circuit, capable of recharging over time.
Much better than the disposable ones.
A Command Seal normally consisted of three commands, each capable of issuing an absolute order.
In addition, they could also amplify abilities.
Within the master's magical range, a Command Seal could force a servant to perform impossible feats—
Even near-miracles like instant teleportation.
Or even command them to commit suicide.
"But this is the DanMachi world."
"There are no Servants here."
"And no Holy Grail War."
"So these Command Seals are basically just a magic battery."
Still, Cao Ye wasn't disappointed.
After all—
Who knew what the future held?
Maybe one day he might actually summon a Servant.
Since the first ten-pull had already produced something valuable, Cao Ye decided to push his luck.
Second Ten-Pull
[White Stockings]
[White Stockings]
[White Stockings]
...
All white stockings.
Cao Ye fell silent.
So this was what they meant by ups and downs.
Third Ten-Pull
[Black Stockings]
[White Stockings]
[Black Stockings]
...
[Class Skill – Magic Resistance]
Jackpot again.
Magic Resistance was an excellent class skill.
It significantly increased resistance against magical attacks.
Fourth Ten-Pull
[White Stockings]
[Black Stockings]
[White Stockings]
...
[Innate Skill – Golden Rule]
YES.
This was one of the skills Cao Ye had wanted the most.
Golden Rule.
One of the signature skills of Gilgamesh.
Its effect was simple—
A destiny blessed with endless wealth.
Money would always come naturally.
Since Cao Ye was already collaborating with Hephaestus Familia, and now possessed Golden Rule—
Becoming rich was basically guaranteed.
His mood improved instantly.
Then came the fifth ten-pull.
Because he was still excited about Golden Rule, he wasn't paying much attention.
Until suddenly—
[Spirit Origin – Gorgon (Avenger)]
Cao Ye froze.
A Spirit Origin?
You could pull something like that?!
And it wasn't just any spirit origin—
It was Gorgon, the Avenger-class Servant.
And he had just recently subdued a half-serpent Xenos.
Was this the fox girl's luck at work?
If Shara fused with this Spirit Origin—
She could become something like a Pseudo-Servant.
And now Cao Ye also had Command Seals.
Did that mean—
He could actually possess a Servant in this world?
In a fantasy world like this—
That was unbelievably powerful.
"Chun Ji…"
"You're really my lucky star."
Cao Ye kissed the sleeping fox girl again.
"Mm…?"
Chun Ji slowly woke up, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"What's wrong…?"
