Valerius first reached out and gently rubbed Klee's little head, then placed four coins into her hands.
"Klee, you can choose to put all four coins in at once and draw a four-point reward."
"Or you can draw one point at a time."
He smiled—exactly the kind of smile someone wears when trying to trick a kid with candy.
"Hey, hey, hey—this is crossing a line."
Hu Tao hadn't even spoken yet when Feixiao stepped in first.
"Klee, don't listen to him. One-point rewards are completely useless."
Everyone had already seen the previous draws.
The one-point rewards were basically knockoff trash—what was the point of drawing those?
And this reward affected everyone.
What if they drew another six nuclear bombs?
Were they supposed to hand out a crate to each person?
Even though Klee wasn't from her faction, Feixiao still couldn't help but warn her.
Such a cute little girl—she couldn't just watch her get tricked.
"Hmmmm… then I'll draw the four-point one."
Klee nodded seriously.
She also felt that one-point rewards were useless.
She tossed all four coins into the gacha machine, then clasped her hands together in prayer.
"Wind God, please bless Klee. Let me draw something good!"
This immediately put Venti in an awkward spot.
What exactly am I supposed to bless here…?
And with Zhongli and Raiden Ei throwing amused glances his way, the pressure only increased.
This is painful…
Click.
Klee pulled the lever.
After a brief rattling sound, a small slip of paper dropped out.
"What's this, Big Brother Valerius?"
Klee handed the paper over.
Valerius examined it carefully.
Then his expression turned… complicated.
"How did this little girl manage to pull this?"
The Genshin side only had four points—normally the rewards wouldn't be anything amazing.
Yet somehow, Klee had pulled something like this.
For a moment, even Valerius couldn't decide whether her luck was good or bad.
This item could completely screw you over—
—but at the same time, what it gave was far beyond what four points should be able to buy.
"Uh… Klee… this thing…"
"How should I put it…"
"Just say it already."
Hu Tao couldn't take the suspense anymore.
"Stop teasing us."
"This item is called a Magic Tower Invitation Scroll."
"The Magic Tower? The one from Heroes of Might and Magic?"
"Yes."
Valerius nodded.
"As long as you use this scroll, everyone will be transported to the Magic Tower."
"Each person will randomly learn one magic spell."
"The spell's type and level are both random."
Instantly, excitement erupted.
Everyone had just witnessed how powerful magic could be in battle.
If someone got lucky and learned a broken spell—
—that would be huge.
For example:
Town Portal—instant return to your city, no matter the distance.
Dimension Door—teleportation. Just thinking about it was insane.
Even offensive magic could be extremely valuable.
"Hurry! Use it!"
Even Hu Tao was excited now.
"Yeah!"
Klee liked magic too.
Without hesitation, she activated the scroll.
In an instant, all Genshin players vanished from the arena.
"…Hey."
Feixiao leaned closer to Valerius and whispered.
"Those necromancy spells—those aren't magic, right?"
She had personally faced the undead army.
The trauma was real.
"No."
Valerius shook his head.
"That's a skill. What they can learn here are only Magic Tower spells."
"Oh… that's good."
Feixiao finally relaxed.
She really didn't want to deal with another undead apocalypse in future games.
After a short while, the vanished players returned one by one.
"So? What did you learn?"
The moment they came back, excited chatter filled the Genshin side.
Xingqiu stared eagerly at Chongyun.
"Well? What did you get?"
"…Undead Slayer."
Chongyun covered his face.
"It's strong against undead, but when am I even going to meet any?"
"This is basically a dragon-slaying sword with no dragons."
"And you?"
"Death Ripple."
Xingqiu twitched.
One got an undead-killing spell.
The other learned necromancy.
What kind of cruel joke is this…
"Keqing, what did you get?"
Ningguang asked.
"Heh—Town Portal."
Keqing grinned smugly.
"And you?"
"…Earth Vision."
Keqing immediately felt much better.
She got a Tier-4 spell.
Ningguang got a Tier-1 spell.
"Relax. Mine is very useful."
"Useful how?"
"It's only Tier-1. What could it possibly do?"
"I can now detect all resource nodes."
"In other words… I know where every ore vein in Liyue is."
"…Hiss!"
Keqing sucked in a sharp breath.
She'd looked down on it at first.
But now?
That spell was terrifying.
"Klee, what did you learn?"
"I learned Dimension Door!"
Klee beamed.
"What about you, Acting Grand Master Jean?"
Jean's expression froze.
This is bad.
Klee already disappears whenever she feels like it—now she can teleport?
How was she ever supposed to catch her again?
"Well… I learned Slow."
At least there was that.
If Klee got hit, Jean could still catch up… probably.
"Wahaha! Tier-5 Fly!"
Amber cheered.
She loved flying.
Now she didn't even need a Wind Glider anymore.
Eula, standing nearby, could only stare at her with tears of envy.
"Eula, what did you get?"
"…Ice Bolt."
Eula twitched.
It wasn't bad—but it was just an attack spell.
Compared to those special-effect spells, it felt underwhelming.
"So jealous… learning magic like this."
"Too bad we didn't win."
"I really want magic too…"
The Star Rail side stared with envy.
In their hearts, they swore:
Next time, we will not hold back.
We want group rewards too.
"Alright, alright."
Valerius finally quieted everyone down.
"The game is over."
"You can return to your worlds now."
"Or stay here a while longer."
"I'm heading out first."
He'd been here long enough.
He missed the outside world.
With a wave, Valerius left the space.
Once he was gone, the Star Rail group didn't linger either.
One by one, they departed.
Soon, only the Genshin players remained—
still excitedly discussing what their new magic could do.
