Even though he was mentioned, Kaito didn't jump into the conversation immediately. He first checked out the three newly added functions.
First, the Advanced Gacha Pool.
Each draw costs 10,000 points, a ten-draw 100,000 points.
Well, no discount this time.
But!
Draw ranks start directly from C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, EX, and MAX.
That means the lowest rank is C, eliminating the lower E and D ranks.
Naturally, C rank won't have great rewards, but on average, one can get B or A rank rewards. With luck, even SS or SSS is possible.
EX rank depends entirely on luck.
Hmm...
MAX rank rewards.
This is the most important. Their probability is even lower than EX rank in the regular gacha pool. Even in the advanced pool, the EX rank probability is only increased by 5 times. Looking at the number of zeros, it still requires sacrificing one's lifespan.
But it's the MAX rank...
What kind of rewards can one get?
Kaito thought it should be rules-level.
Like the various Great Daos in Chinese mythology, such as the Dao of Time, the Dao of Calendars, etc.
What the lower and upper limits are, he didn't know. The advanced gacha pool interface didn't show MAX rank rewards; the highest displayed was still EX rank rewards.
By the way, there is a pity system. 100 consecutive draws guarantee two SS rank rewards, 1000 consecutive draws guarantee two SSS rank rewards, and 10,000 consecutive draws guarantee two EX rank rewards.
At first glance, the number of draws isn't different from the regular pool. Considering the discounted regular pool, the advanced pool seems like a loss.
But it guarantees two rewards! It's like a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Overall, the profit is about 40%.
Second function, Recycling.
Unwanted abilities, weapons, items, etc., can be recycled to the system for points based on the content and strength. Naturally, there will be some loss.
Third function, Virtual Battle.
You can set your own opponent, or battle against yourself.
The catch is, the stronger the virtual opponent, the more points it costs!
Suddenly, if Kaito were to battle himself, it would cost 10,000 points for 6 hours...
Well, that's ridiculously expensive!
For ordinary people, it would probably cost a few tens to a few hundred points, maybe even for longer!
"Overall, not bad."
After carefully reading the descriptions of the newly updated functions, Kaito returned to the chat group.
At that moment, Hirano was watching everyone share the rewards they had drawn from the gacha.
Unsurprisingly, everyone with over 500,000 points went all-in on the advanced gacha pool.
Soon, people started drawing S rank rewards, even SS rank rewards!
After looking at all the screenshots, no one had drawn an SSS rank reward yet, and only one person had drawn an SS rank reward: Sephie.
It was a transformation card to become a six-winged Seraph.
'An angel...'
'Sephie becoming an angel or something...'
'Hmm...'
Kaito couldn't help but get excited.
[Misuzu]: Kaito, I know you're lurking! Tell us what you drew!
[Shodai]: Yeah, Kaito is the only one who hasn't shared his draws. He's definitely making a fortune in silence, probably about to drop a MAX rank reward, right!?
[Kaito]: Cough cough... well, I haven't drawn yet.
[Mika]: Oh my? Kaito didn't draw immediately? And you didn't show up when the new member joined... Could it be... you were doing something fun?
[Tearju]: Fun things? Tamaki-san, what do you mean?
[Akina]: Um... Tearju, do you really not know?
[Tearju]: ...If you hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have...
[Kaito]: Well, I just spent some time resting at home and also told Yunyun about my situation.
[Irisviel]: Is that Kaito's senpai? You told her everything? What was her reaction?
[Kaito]: Actually, she took it quite well. She accepted it quickly.
[Sephie]: Hehe, then we don't have to worry about being rejected by her?
[Kaito]: How could that be... she's just... how should I put it? Anyway, she's actually very welcoming to you all!
Should Kaito reveal Yunyun's true nature?
That she, because they were anime characters, might get even more excited than him and want to hug them immediately upon meeting?
[Kaito]: Oh, by the way, hello! Welcome to the group! Yukinoshita-san!
[Hirano]: Hello, Mr. Kaito... I've learned about your exploits from the group members. You're very impressive, and very handsome.
[Kaito]: Thank you!
Probably Sayuri and the others had shown Hirano his photo.
Regarding Hirano, Kaito didn't quite know how to approach her. The problem wasn't her, but her daughters.
Besides, Hirano was known to be a strong-willed, controlling woman, generally not easy to get along with.
Well, he'd take it one step at a time!
No matter how difficult she was, there would come a time when her defenses would be 'breached.'
[Kaito]: Speaking of which, your world is an ordinary world, right?
[Hirano]: Currently, yes.
[Shodai]: Hehe, she has two super cute daughters! One seems very lively and sunny, named Haruno, and the other seems a bit aloof, named Yukino! By the way, Yukinoshita-san, your name suits you quite well?
[Yukinoshita Hirano]: Well... maybe it's a coincidence?
[Misuzu]: No, sometimes things are fated!
[Kaito]: Is that so? Interesting?
[Shodai]: Of course. Actually, Yukinoshita-san is also worried because her daughter has always been reluctant to communicate, whether at home or with friends.
[Yukinoshita Hirano]: About this... rather than my daughter Yukino being unwilling to communicate, it's more like she's avoiding reality. Especially after her father died when she was young...
[Kaito]: I see...
'There's that?'
'Wait, Yukino's father is dead too???'
