Chapter 17 - Taking the Space Station by Storm, the Gacha Craze Begins!

In the containment sector, they found a wandering Voidranger.

Xiao Guizi couldn't wait to add Sushang to the team and launched an attack on the Voidranger.

The way she swung her heavy sword with both hands was exactly like the Shuang Shuang she remembered!

After using her skill, she even wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Oh my god, this is Shuang Shuang in the flesh!"

"Next up is the most important ultimate skill. Let's see if Shuang Shuang has any hidden power!"

Energy was fully charged.

Xiao Guizi excitedly tapped Sushang's ultimate skill.

Sushang: "Take this, Taixu Manifestation!"

Sushang rested the sword she called [Xuanyuan] on her shoulder, her body surrounded by golden and silver particle effects.

Seeing this effect, Xiao Guizi was stunned.

Could Shuang Shuang really have some hidden ultimate technique?

Taixu Manifestation?

I've never seen her use this before.

"Phoenix, reveal yourself!"

Sushang flashed an incredibly confident smile.

She pointed her sword forward.

The entire blade was enveloped in a golden light, looking razor-sharp.

"Phoenix? Isn't that a legendary divine beast?"

"Shuang Shuang, you're this amazing?"

Xiao Guizi was marveling.

But then, the next second.

A large, white, chubby chicken appeared on the screen.

Flapping its tiny wings, it charged fiercely at the enemy.

As it got closer, it leaped high into the air.

"Duang!"

It landed right on the enemy's head.

"???"

"Pfft…"

"Is… is this the Phoenix?"

"Don't lie to me, I didn't go to school much!"

"Developers, is this how you do things?"

"Other characters' ultimates are all cool and flashy, but my Shuang Shuang goes this route, huh?"

"But then again, this really fits Shuang Shuang's style!"

After witnessing Shuang Shuang's ultimate, Xiao Guizi couldn't stop laughing.

In the end, she had to give a thumbs-up.

She gave the developers a big thumbs-up!

...

[Chat]

"I'm completely dumbfounded! After all those flashy ultimates, I really thought she was going to summon a phoenix!"

"This would be absolutely insane in any other game."

"You have to admit, this 'Phoenix' is quite charming."

"Chicken, you're so beautiful…"

...

With Sushang's precedent, Xiao Guizi was even more excited for the next Warp.

She was looking forward to whether there would be any more unexpected familiar faces in the gacha.

By the 30th pull.

The animation seemed a bit different this time.

But it was hard to pinpoint exactly how.

Until Pom-Pom was about to open the door, and a dazzling golden light burst from behind it.

Pom-Pom didn't even have time to step aside, blown away by the force from the train door.

Five golden stars flashed across the screen.

An elegant and captivating woman appeared.

[Himeko (New), Fire Attribute, 5-Star, Erudition]

"Did I… did I see that right!?"

"It's really Himeko!"

"I pulled Himeko!!!"

Xiao Guizi was so excited she started dancing.

The viewers in the livestream were filled with envy and jealousy.

Wishing they were the ones who had pulled Himeko.

...

[Chat]

"Wow! Xiao Guizi's luck is insane!"

"Thirty pulls, and she got Himeko! Xiao Guizi, are you secretly a plant from the developers?"

"Is this the first 5-star Himeko in the entire game?"

"Is this the power of spending money?"

"I'm going to pull too! Streamer, lend me some of your luck!"

...

Herta Space Station.

The staff who witnessed the Xianzhou streamer pulling Himeko were green with envy.

They all opened their Warp interfaces.

Planning to follow Xiao Guizi's lead and spend a little.

Maybe they'd get lucky too, pulling a 5-star in just ten or twenty pulls?

Soon.

Exclamations of surprise started popping up everywhere.

"Guys, I got [Herta]!"

"Wait! Why is my Herta only 4-star?"

"Looking at the illustration, it's one of Lady Herta's puppets. The real one must be a 5-star character."

"I got a character named [Sampo]. Is he any good?"

"Oh wow, I pulled [Arlan] from the security department!"

Thanks to Xiao Guizi's influence.

The space station was swept up in a gacha craze.

Asta was also getting excited.

She had already checked out her skills.

She was a Harmony character, focused on buffs.

And her skill was multi-hit, which should break enemy weakness shields quickly.

Paired with Himeko, both being Fire attribute, the synergy would be amazing!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she got.

Her and Himeko together would be a perfect match, complementing each other perfectly!

Fighting alongside someone like Miss Himeko, even in a game, was absolutely thrilling!

Her heart raced.

She immediately announced.

"I'm going to pull too!"

Meeting Room.

The staff put down their phones and turned to Asta in unison.

"Station Manager, are you going to [Warp] too?"

"Miss Asta, this gacha system is a bit abstract. I just spent 100,000 credits and only got two 4-star Light Cones. Didn't get anything else."

"I think buying the [Express Supply Pass] and slowly saving Stellar Jades is the way to go."

"You're still young, don't get addicted to gacha."

Asta's gaze was clear, her expression firm.

She ignored the advice from those around her.

And directly opened the recharge interface.

Her colleagues were just trying to be helpful, but seeing Asta so determined, they didn't say anything more.

After all, they had also spent a bit but didn't get anything good, so they were a bit resentful.

"How much is Miss Asta planning to spend?"

"Just a 10-pull to test the waters, or go for the guaranteed 5-star?"

Asta shook her head.

As she tapped the highest recharge tier, she said calmly, "My goal is only one—to invite Miss Himeko to join my team."

"And to equip her with a 5-star Light Cone."

"Of course, it'd be best to max out her Eidolons too!"

The people around her were stunned.

Had they heard that right?

How much money would that take?

Before they could ask, Asta had already started paying the bill.

"I'm not sure how much it'll take to reach that goal."

"Let's start with 200 million credits."

Colleagues: "???"

"How much?!"
