Chapter 30: Jinhsi pulls the gacha: Two Gold in a Five-pull!
"Oh. You can actually substitute the Sentinel to conduct a second resonance directly?"
"I didn't expect that an existence like the Sentinel would actually have an Arbiter."
Hearing Rover's words, both Changli and Jinhsi showed looks of surprise.
And it was at this moment that the two women no longer harbored any doubts about the Rover's identity as the Sentinel's Arbiter.
"What else? Prepare a spacious room. Jinhsi will probably need to rest for a while after the resonance ends."
"By the way, have you arranged Jinzhou's affairs in advance?"
Rover rolled his eyes at Changli, that busty woman, and while speaking, he remembered there were indeed some matters needing prior arrangement.
Furthermore, regarding the situation with the Tacet Discords, he also roughly brought it up at this time.
"The gathering of Tacet Discords? I wonder what they are planning to do…"
"However, with the Teacher here in Jinzhou, everything will be fine."
"There is just one point Xi is confused about: does Xi need to first draw a full-chain Xi, and then enter the second resonance?"
Jinhsi nodded. It wasn't that she didn't take the matter of Tacet Discords gaining sentience seriously.
It was just that right now, there was no point in rushing, and most importantly, the true objective of the Tacet Discords hadn't been clarified yet.
If they were treated as they were in the past, the desperate counterattack of the current Tacet Discords would be something no faction would wish to face.
Following that, she explained that there was no need to worry about Jinzhou's affairs, and she wouldn't let the Rover be busy with those trivial matters.
After that came the matter regarding drawing the full Resonance Chain.
"Oh. Do you have that many Astrites? To be honest, that thing is quite a pit."
"You'd better be mentally prepared to hit hard pity every time."
Rover knew that various factions had been collecting Astrites earlier, but eventually, the use of Astrites was exposed after a short while.
It was precisely because of this that he, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to collect some Astrites, directly dispelled that thought.
Because right now in the entire chat group, if you say you're selling Astrites… your DMs will absolutely be full instantly.
But if you say you want to buy Astrites, even if you shout for a day and a night, your DMs won't have the slightest movement.
Thus, Rover thought to himself that the 20,000 Astrites he obtained from previous challenges could be considered a small fortune.
"That is natural. Although the amount of Astrites is somewhat unsatisfactory, totaling only a little over two hundred and eighty thousand."
"But drawing a full chain shouldn't be a problem."
Beside her, Changli wore a smile and confidently stated their assets directly.
"How much? 280k? You guys really have black hearts."
"Jinhsi, the reason you haven't gone out isn't that there are people outside looking for a refund, is it?"
Hearing the number Changli spoke, Rover instantly expressed his unease.
The 20k Astrites that originally looked decent to him now seemed somewhat thin at this moment.
And not to mention now, even in his past life, when he could directly use real money to buy Astrites, the Astrites in his account had never exceeded that amount of 250k.
"Cough cough. As the Magistrate of Jinzhou, Xi is naturally deeply loved by the people."
"Naturally, such a situation would not occur."
Jinhsi immediately began to explain, but after speaking, her small face turned slightly red, and faint dragon scales even appeared on her arms and forehead.
Seeing this situation, how could Rover not understand that this little milk dragon was saying one thing but meaning another?
Actually, refunds wouldn't really happen; it's just that those citizens who had sold Astrites to her… the resentful looks they revealed whenever they saw her.
It really made Jinhsi feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Alright then. Since you are so wealthy, Jinhsi can indeed pull for a full chain."
"As for the others, I suggest not drawing for now."
Rover nodded, thought for a moment, and gave the suggestion in his heart based on the previous situation in the chat group.
"Oh. Why is that? Is Jinhsi, with 120% of the strength of the early Tsunami level, not worth drawing?"
Jinhsi hadn't reacted to the Rover's words yet, but Changli was the first to get curious.
Obviously, no matter how you looked at it, Jinhsi's strength was unquestionable in her eyes.
Of course, if one had to look at it from the Rover's perspective, what he said seemed to actually make sense.
"It's not that, but you must be clear… what is the other use of drawing characters?"
"It's simple, that is challenges… and high rewards for challenges obviously require solo clears."
"Among the crowd of characters, Jinhsi is indeed not weak, but if she can't bring teammates… then it is indeed a bit hard to play."
"So Jinhsi's drawing is indeed not a loss, after all, she can get the enhancement of a full chain, but I don't recommend it for others."
Rover roughly explained Jinhsi's performance in the game to the two women.
After listening, Changli nodded thoughtfully, while Jinhsi's mood wasn't very beautiful.
Because she could tell that her strength in reality was quite good, but in that so-called game challenge… she seemed to be a bit weak.
Obviously, she completely only heard half of it. The Rover clearly said that under solo conditions, Jinhsi was indeed hard to operate and not fun to play.
But once able to form a team, or if there was open-world gameplay… Then a full-chain Jinhsi would be god-tier, okay?!
( Translator-kun: ohhh? Will there be something like that in the future? )
This was just because the challenges in the chat group obviously couldn't be linked to those casual gameplay modes.
And for soloing difficult content… the strongest was naturally that woman, without a doubt.
"Alright. That was our plan anyway, wasn't it?"
"Jinhsi, you go ahead and draw a full chain first."
It was Changli who patted Jinhsi's fragrant shoulder lightly, then spoke to signal Jinhsi to draw the character first.
Jinhsi nodded and started her gacha journey.
And the scenes that happened next really made Rover somewhat envious.
"Shoo~~ Shoo~~ Shoo~"
Accompanied by a flash of purple light, Jinhsi didn't get the goods in the first ten pulls.
However, the second ten-pull revealed a golden light…
"〽Just as the Sentinel said, you and I will meet here." Accompanied by the girl's voice, Jinhsi appeared without a doubt.
Seeing this, Rover thought to himself that this was a bit lucky… Could it be that this gacha system isn't a scam?
Immediately following was a third ten-pull with purple light, and a fourth ten-pull with purple light.
Just as Rover thought "as expected," the fifth ten-pull flashed with golden light again…
It was still that Magistrate's girlish voice, and the result was obviously that she didn't lose the 50/50.
"Yay. Looking at it this way, it seems to be much simpler than we imagined."
Seeing that she got the goods again, Jinhsi, who was experiencing it firsthand, was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart.
