Furina placed her phone in front of Lu Heng, shaking it slightly. The screen displayed her chat history with Navia.
With a playful smile, Furina asked, "So, what do you think?"
What did he think?
She was obviously fishing for compliments!
Of course, it was about pledging his loyalty to Furina!
There were some things Lu Heng couldn't say outright, but Furina needed to hear them.
Lu Heng immediately gave it a thumbs-up. "It took ten lifetimes of luck for me to meet you in this one." Where else could he find a wife like this?
And yet, by some twist of fate, he had found her.
All Lu Heng could say was that he was living the dream.
"Mhm~"
Furina had already anticipated Lu Heng's reaction.
Everything was under her control~
She glanced at the time, then stood up and said to Lu Heng, "Alright, it's about time~"
"Come, follow me inside~"
...
Morning.
Lu Heng woke up in his home within the pocket dimension.
Seeing Furina still fast asleep, he turned his attention to the system panel.
The number of gacha pulls had accumulated into a long string of digits.
He couldn't hold back anymore—his fingers were itching. Time to go all-in!
For Lu Heng, pulling gacha had only one feeling:
Gacha = pure bliss!
Starting with a 100,000-pull!
With one 100,000-pull, a golden light flashed.
For a whale spending big in the gacha shop, not getting a red (highest rarity) was just a normal occurrence.
For Lu Heng, not getting a red was also just a normal occurrence.
Another 100,000-pull.
Two gold cards.
Third 100,000-pull!
One gold card.
Was this normal?
From an objective standpoint, the higher the card's tier, the lower its drop rate—this was perfectly normal.
But that was from an objective standpoint.
From a subjective standpoint? This was absolutely unacceptable!
If he wasn't getting good pulls, it definitely wasn't his luck's fault—it was the system's!
Lu Heng tried to console himself.
On the fourth 100,000-pull, finally, a red glow appeared.
The card depicted a blurry humanoid figure.
The figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by small seal-script characters.
All the characters were gold, their glow flickering, expanding and extinguishing along with the figure's movements.
[Three Thousand Dao Seals]
[Tier]: 6-Star (Red)
[Type]: [Knowledge Card]
[Trait]: [Word Seals]
[Description]: Life—write it, and it lives. Death—four words, and it perishes.
Lu Heng equipped it immediately.
Knowledge cards granted instant comprehension upon equipping.
The name [Three Thousand Dao Seals] was quite telling.
Its "three thousand" actually meant "countless."
From Lu Heng's understanding, this entire card was essentially a deck!
To put it simply:
This deck consisted of thousands of cards, each one a top-tier 5-star. Together, they formed a complete set, elevating it to a 6-star card!
The versatility of this card was insane!
It was practically an all-rounder!
Lu Heng wasn't exaggerating—this thing could do anything!
Keqing's [Sword Art Pinnacle] was impressive, right?
A 5-star limit, just shy of reaching 6-star tier!
But Lu Heng could now replicate it effortlessly.
Without any additional boosts from his equipment, Lu Heng could simply write the character for "sword" (劍).
That single character would encapsulate the pinnacle of sword arts!
And that was just the tip of the iceberg for this card!
Not to mention, with Lu Heng's 9-star equipment boosting it, a 6-star card could be used as a 7-star, and the 5-star skills within it could be treated as 6-star…
This was completely normal.
Lu Heng had never turned off his cheat mode anyway!
"Now this is satisfying."
He was thoroughly satisfied now.
As he thought—how could he not get good pulls?
Turns out, all the earlier pulls were just priming the pump for this incredible card!
In high spirits, Lu Heng continued pulling.
Why stop at 100,000-pulls? He had more than enough to burn!
But it seemed [Three Thousand Dao Seals] had drained his luck for the day.
Though he got a few gold cards, no more reds appeared.
After some thought, Lu Heng accepted it.
[Three Thousand Dao Seals] was essentially worth three thousand top-tier gold cards. A man had to know when to be content!
But content? Yeah, right.
Lu Heng abruptly sat up.
Glancing at Furina, still sound asleep beside him, he gently tucked her in.
Then, two small seal-script characters materialized in his palm:
[Luck] [Fortune]
The two characters glowed gold, hovering above his hand.
Final 10,000-pull!
Lu Heng could feel it—with this insane luck boost, he could probably trip over a bag of money just walking outside.
How could he not get a red card now?
Golden light pierced through the clouds.
Lu Heng facepalmed.
He could see it now—even with his luck maxed out today, the gacha wasn't going to cooperate.
Glancing at the gold card, he suddenly froze.
[Soul-Snaring Technique]
[Tier]: 5-Star (Gold)
[Type]: [Skill Card]
[Trait]: [Soul Capture] [Soul Refinement]
[Description]: A secret art for capturing and binding the souls of cultivators.
A soul-targeting skill?
Lu Heng was intrigued.
Mentioning "soul-snaring" inevitably brought to mind techniques like Soul Snatching and Spirit Commanding.
This card worked similarly.
Once equipped, it granted the ability to directly capture and bind a target's soul.
This thing had serious potential.
Lu Heng could already see it—immediately yanking out an opponent's soul the moment a fight started.
How could anyone deal with that?
Unless the enemy had soul-protection measures, they were done for.
Lu Heng equipped [Soul-Snaring Technique].
With the overwhelming boost from his 9-star equipment, he was itching to test its limits.
He wanted to see just how far this technique could go!
Without hesitation, Lu Heng got out of bed, dressed, and headed to the living room.
Sitting on the sofa, he examined his palm.
Without a specific target in mind, he simply reached into the void.
"Let's see what I can grab."
Though the pocket dimension and the real world existed on different layers, the radiance of [Money Is Power] was undeniable.
Lu Heng didn't even need to look—he just fished around blindly in the void.
[Luck] and [Fortune] floated around him, pulsing with golden light.
After some groping, he felt something—no, someone.
This [Soul-Snaring Technique] was definitely working!
The texture wasn't quite human, but close enough.
After all, this was a technique targeting souls.
But something felt off almost immediately.
The other party seemed… resistant.
Yet, they didn't seem to have much power to resist.
Even Vision holders had souls no stronger than ordinary people's.
How could a soul resist on its own?
Lu Heng figured the other party might have something special.
But whose soul had he grabbed?
It wasn't exactly moral to just yank out someone's soul unprovoked.
But he could always apologize after pulling them out!
Lu Heng tightened his grip and yanked the soul toward him.
With the overwhelming power of [Soul-Snaring Technique] and his own strength, the other party had no chance to resist.
Then—
The void began to expand.
A small, white-haired head emerged from the emptiness.
A pair of pointed elf ears were particularly striking.
Because Lu Heng's pull was too strong and the other's resistance too weak, they practically flew into his arms.
As everyone knew, souls normally had no physical form and couldn't be grasped.
But [Soul-Snaring Technique] made it possible.
The scene looked as if Lu Heng had grabbed the other by the collar.
The next second—
Lu Heng and the soul were staring at each other, wide-eyed.
Her long, waterfall-like white hair gradually transitioned to green at the tips. Her emerald-green eyes had star-shaped white pupils. She stared blankly at Lu Heng, her expression seemingly dazed from the sudden tug.
Looking at her face, Lu Heng fell silent for a moment.
Did I just summon Nahida's sister?
But then his gaze lowered.
The青色 (cyan) patterns on her neck and collarbone, along with the white dress her soul manifested—
Wait, no!
This was the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata!
