45 Testing the Gacha (1/2)
~~~~~~~~
Thanks to User for being first place in his first tournament, the [Gacha] feature has been unlocked!
~~~~~~~~
”Gacha?” Shi Li tilted his head as he didn't expect this feature to pop up. In his previous life, the word gacha was usually attributed to those games that rely on a random number generator to pick out a certain item or hero for the person to use. It became a hit in his world back then and some even went far enough to spend money that ranged in the tens of thousands.
Seeing that a gacha would definitely give him a chance of getting something good there, Shi Li looked at Moddy and said, ”Better hold on tight. We're going back to the courtyard as fast as possible.”
Moddy, who was still admiring the nature surrounding them, asked, ”Nya—”
As it tried to ask, Shi Li instantly activated [Overlimit] and exertrd all of his strength through his legs, travelling across tens of meters with a single step.
”Nyaaaaa! I wasn't ready-nyaaaa...” Moddy struggled to hold onto Shi Li's shoulders as they ran.
...
Shi clan, Shi Li's courtyard.
”Haaaa...” Shi Li gasped for air as he lied down on the ground. Moddy also lied down on the ground as it was tired holding onto Shi Li's shoulder.
”Nyaaaa...nyaaa....why'd you...run so fast-nya...” Moddy tried to ask Shi Li as it panted.
Shi Li composed himself and took a deep breath before answering Moddy's question. ”My bloodline interface got a new feature.”
”Bloodline interface...white plate-nya?” Moddy tilted its head as its breathing was already stable.
”Yeah, that,” Shi Li nodded, ”Wanna check it out with me?”
”Sure-nya,” Moddy nodded as it went back to Shi Li's shoulder.
After confirming that Moddy was comfortable, Shi Li then muttered out, ”[Gacha].”
Weeeennnggg....
In a matter of seconds, a white screen the size of a table mat appeared in front of Shi Li. Not long after, the white screen gained vivid colors as certain parts of the screen were emphasized. Words and numbers also started to appear on the screen.
~~~~~~~~
[Gacha]
[Summoning Points]: 0
[Common Gacha]
[Get items and techniques ranging from D grade to C+++ grade!]
[FREE SUMMON AVAILABLE]
[Premium Gacha]
[Get items and techniques ranging from C grade to A+++ grade!]
[FREE SUMMON AVAILABLE]
[Grand Gacha]
[Get items and techniques ranging from A to SSS+++ grade!]
[SUMMONING POINTS NEEDED: 10000]
~~~~~~~~
Shi Li took a step back because of his utter disbelief of the words written on the screen.
'The normal gacha alone gives me the chance to get an item or technique at C+++ grade, that's Peak Earth grade! We only have Middle Earth grade at most, and that's for Creation realm techniques and items!'
'The premium gacha goes up to A+++ grade... so D is Human grade, C is Earth grade, B is Sky Grade. A is a grade beyond the Sky... I'll just call it Transcendent grade for now. But still, a technique at the true Sky grade hasn't even been seen in this town, let alone a Transcendent grade technique!'
'Now the grand gacha, this goes up to SSS+++ grade. As far as I remember, the grades for items and techniques range from D to SSS+++ grade, 7 letter things—I mean realms of power. That means SSS+++ is like super overpowered, but that's a given coming from the name alone. But the question is that I need summoning points to pull for the grand gacha.'
'How do I earn summoning points?'
As this question appeared on Shi Li's head, a separate screen materialized right beside the gacha screen.
~~~~~~~~
Summoning points can be obtained through special actions done through the Nonpareil Eye Interface.
- Nonpareil Eye Interface
~~~~~~~~
'Special actions? Like what?' Shi Li pondered about the phrase, but not long after, decide to keep it for later and pull the gacha.
”Let's start with the normal gacha,” Shi Li said all of a sudden, shocking Moddy.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the content shown on the gacha screen was changed into a simple layout where a certain part was emphasized right in the center. The background was also changed as well, showing a serene forest filled with various animals and plants.
~~~~~~~~
[Normal Gacha]
[Drop rates have been increased!]
[FREE SUMMON AVAILABLE]
[Summon]
~~~~~~~~
”Oh? Drop rates have been increased huh? Does that mean that I have a higher chance of obtaining a better item?” Shi Li couldn't help but chuckle at those words. In his previous life, increasing drop rates didn't even matter for gacha at all, it was still a matter of the random number generator bending to your will.
”Anyways, let's summon!”
In a brief amount of time, the button was removed, as well as the text, being replaced with two bars that had the words 'Type of Technique' and 'Grade' over it respectively.
The text shown in the bars switched multiple times at a very fast rate before stopping at a certain time, revealing what Shi Li got. Moddy also leaned its head, curious of what Shi Li's white plate is doing.
~~~~~~~~
[Type of Technique]:
Martial Technique
[Grade]:
C+
~~~~~~~~
Putong.
Shi Li instantly kneeled down in front of the screen and couldn't help but say, ”Interface, I love you!”
