"Fifty pulls, two copies. I have to say, this luck… You really are blessed by the RNGesus."
Rover spoke up from the side, sounding somewhat jealous. Changli and Jinhsi, upon hearing this, simply assumed they were just lucky.
However, when the sixth ten-pull occurred, a golden light appeared once again…
"〽Descend upon the opening, banish evil and disperse calamity, peace throughout the years…"
Just as Rover heard this voice line and couldn't help but want to laugh…
"〽Just as the Sentinel foretold, you and I meet here." The young Magistrate's voice rang out once again.
This time, he couldn't laugh at all. Sixty pulls, four golds… What kind of heaven-defying luck was this?
"Oh. Does this mean two golden characters appeared? That's Lingyang, a nice young lad."
"Rover, how is his strength in the Challenges?"
Changli came to Rover's side. Seeing a brand-new character appear, she was naturally curious about his strength.
Even Jinhsi paused her pulling upon hearing this and looked over.
"Uh. He's okay, I guess… but as a character you can get from losing the 50/50, he definitely can't compare to the Jinhsi you're pulling for now."
Rover recalled for a moment. Although he hadn't really built Lingyang back then, he had still maxed out his level and Echoes.
His strength clearly couldn't touch Jinhsi's; even in solo combat… to put it bluntly, in the game, he sat at the same table as Calcharo.
Hearing Rover say this, Changli nodded, while Jinhsi couldn't help but feel happy.
As for the subsequent pulls, although they weren't as exaggerated… in the end, Jinhsi managed to secure seven copies of Jinhsi within 210 pulls.
With that, a full resonance chain was obtained without any unexpected mishaps.
Thinking back to his previous life, even his luckiest run took 470 pulls to get a full chain.
And one had to remember, back then, you could even use Afterglow Corals to exchange for two copies.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Rover felt inside… He could only curse all gacha games to die a horrible death.
Because for someone who constantly hit hard pity, that kind of experience truly maximized the negative feedback.
"Is it fully pulled already? It only costs a total of 33,600 Astrites. Looking at it this way, it's not too bad!"
Jinhsi stopped, satisfied. It had to be said that gacha games, without making any changes to the mechanics, could bring two completely different experiences to two groups of people.
"Quick, look at what the effects of those Resonance Chains are."
Although Changli also felt it was somewhat unexpected, since they had already pulled them all, what was the point of worrying about anything else? Business was more important… she signaled for Jinhsi to quickly activate the Resonance Chains.
Jinhsi nodded. Soon, the enhanced effects of the six Resonance Chains… transformed into six rays of colorful, brilliant light, thoroughly merging into Jinhsi's body.
Chain 1 - Abyssal Ascension: Every time Jinhsi attacks, she can gain a stack of the "Awakening" effect, stacking up to 10 times, lasting until the end of combat. Each stack of Awakening increases the power of Jinhsi's Incarnation by 20%.
Chain 2 - Chronofrost Repose: When Jinhsi is out of combat, she recovers 50% of her consumed energy every minute. This effect is halved while in combat.
Chain 3 - Celestial Incarnate: After the second resonance, all of Jinhsi's attack methods will have their power increased by 50%.
Chain 4 - Benevolent Grace: When Jinhsi uses her ultimate move, the Resonance Ability of all friendly allies is increased by 20%.
Chain 5 - Frostfire Illumination: The power of Jinhsi's ultimate move is increased by 120%.
Chain 6 - Comes the Spring: The power of Jinhsi's Incarnation is increased by 45%, and she can consume more energy to significantly boost the damage of Incarnation.
Looking at the effects of the Resonance Chains one by one, although Jinhsi and Changli didn't understand them thoroughly at this moment, they were very clear that this wave of improvements for Jinhsi… had already surpassed their original expectations.
Rover felt even more strongly that relying on these enhancements, and then giving Jinhsi a second resonance, her strength would likely point directly toward the level of the Sentinel.
Using the mid-stage of the Tsunami level to contend with the peak of the Tsunami level—this was another existence besides the Rover.
Although contending didn't necessarily mean winning, this directly spanned two levels… it was a situation exaggerated to the extreme.
"Very good. Then, next, I'll have to trouble you, Rover, to perform the second resonance for Jinhsi."
"Changli, along with all of Jinzhou, and even Huanglong, thanks you for extending a helping hand."
Changli was actually more satisfied than Jinhsi at this moment, and the most critical thing right now was naturally the second resonance.
As long as that step was completed, Jinzhou would have two existences at the Sentinel level guarding it.
It was precisely for this reason that she lowered her own posture to such a humble level.
At the same time, it signified that Jinzhou, and even all of Huanglong… owed the Rover a massive favor.
"There is no need for this. This was originally an agreement between Jue and me. You just need to find a quiet place for Jinhsi and me immediately."
Rover helped Changli up. He hadn't expected this proud phoenix to lower herself so much for the sake of her disciple and Jinzhou.
However, this wasn't what he wanted to see. If he really had to choose…
Compared to Jinzhou or Huanglong, he actually wanted Changli more.
"This is the Magistrate's Court of Jinzhou. Changli will go outside and stand guard for you."
"There is no place in all of Jinzhou more suitable than here."
After being helped up by Rover, Changli's small face became even rosier. After saying these words, she walked straight out.
Meanwhile, Jinhsi, watching her teacher and the Rover… suddenly felt as if a "NTR" situation was appearing before her eyes.
No… no way… how could Teacher cuckold me?
Wait, that's not right. I don't even have that kind of relationship with the Rover yet… Jinhsi, oh Jinhsi, what on earth are you thinking?
"It might hurt a little next, Jinhsi, you have to endure it."
Seeing Changli leave, Rover immediately spoke up to instruct Jinhsi.
"Mhm. Xi is not afraid of pain. Rover, just go ahead boldly… don't pity me."
Jinhsi nodded. At this moment, she showed that she was not a flower in a greenhouse; she was willing to do her utmost for this world.
"Alright then. Open your mind, don't let your thoughts wander, and cast aside all distractions in your brain."
"It might be a bit too much for you at the start, but you'll be fine once you slowly adapt."
"This process might take a while. Before you fully accept it, absolutely do not fall unconscious."
As Rover spoke, he also mobilized the portion of Spectro belonging to Jue that was linked to him.
As he raised his hand and gently tapped Jinhsi's forehead, an incredibly dazzling golden light surged from his body toward the center of Jinhsi's brow like a torrent.
