422 Gacha Palace Part II (1/2)
”Well, there is some adjustment for this. Because you have Spirit Eyes as well as growing stronger, I need to adjust the speed and movement too. Of course, the reward is worth it.” She said with a smile.
”...I know this is bound to happen.” Alex facepalmed. ”I mean, there is always something that hit me down after the previous excitement.”
”There is nothing perfect. Gacha, Story, human, or even other races. You can't find everything perfectly.” She gently said to him.
”I know. Well, I might be raging if it is the past me. I, either my past self or current self, am not. I have made many mistakes and might make a mistake in the future…” Alex nodded.
”Fufu… shall we move on then?”
”Sure.”
The next one was the Gacha Box. The appearance looked like the 'hits the moles' game, but it filled with boxes instead of holes for the moles. The box itself was like a treasure chest, but instead of hole key, it was replaced by a card hole. It seemed Alex would need to open that with his Gacha Card.
”This is a Gacha Box. You can choose one of the chests from here and bring it out of this machine. After that, the other eight boxes would be recycled and replaced by the new nine chests. Try to look up a bit.”
Alex turned his head upward and saw another chest stuck on the top of the machine.
”If you use the '3+1' function, then that chest is the '1.' Don't worry, it will come down automatically after you choose three chests.” She explained.
”I see. Basically, I choose and open it with the card, right?”
”Yes.”
”Do I need to choose all the chests first, or I can open it as soon as I grab one?”
”It is up to you. The system still recognizes either way, but the latter will take a bit longer.”
”True enough, and it is a bit annoying to grab it again and again. It is better to grab all of them first before opening them.” Ale nodded.
”Do you want to use your Gacha Cards now?” She asked.
”...” Alex contemplated a bit and shook his head. ”I want to see the last two first.”
”Alright. Follow me.” She guided him to the last two machines. The first one was like an ATM, but from his observation, instead of taking out money, it would give him the summoning cards.
The second one was a grand white gate. The gate was like his usual Summoning Gate but without the color.
”This is the Summoning Coin. Give the machine coin, and you will get the Summoning Card.” The explanation was brief since it was plain to see. She then moved to the last one. ”As for this one, you put the Summoning Ticket, and they will appear from within the gate.”
Alex furrowed his eyebrows, ”But, what if I get Anna's and the others' cards again? Will they appear here?”
”Technically, yes. However, it will be the same person. If you get two same cards, you can combine them and raise his/her level. I think I have explained this to you, right?”
”Indeed.” Alex nodded.
”Anyway, if you don't want to waste your time, then you can touch this button, and the cards will pop out of this gate without summoning them.” She said while pointing at a green button on the gate.
”Alright, I understand.”
”Then, should we go back to Gacha Box?”
”Sure.”
Both of them came back to the fourth machine. Alex looked at her first before he started doing anything.
”Just choose whichever you want. Pluck them like picking a flower.”
”Alright.” Alex nodded and started walking to the machine. There was a big open hole in the machine to walk through. He then chose the first box, which was the center box, and came out of the machine.
After that, he heard a sound from his back. He was curious about the sound, so he turned back. He was startled because he saw the floor suddenly opened and the box fell down, it was then replaced by the new nine chests, and the floor closed again.
Alex looked at the system girl and asked, ”I just need to pick it again, right?”
”Yes.”
After her confirmation, he then put down the chest and went back inside the machine. For the second chest, he went to the farthest one on the left, and he chose the closest one to him as the third chest. The scenery was the same as the boxes were replaced each time he carried a chest out.
After taking the three boxes, Alex saw the box on the top suddenly fell down to the floor before a cushion appeared beneath it. He did not know whether his eyes played him or not, but he could see the sparkle and light illuminating the chest.
The chest was telling him, 'Look at me, here I am, and Love me!”
Alex came to the box and brought the box out too. After checking the box, he found out there was no key-hole or card-hole in this chest. Instead, he saw a screen, and '0/3' was written on it.
