[Ding!]
[Recharge successful! Obtained 12,960 [Ancient Dream Essence]
Seeing Asta casually recharge the highest tier without batting an eye, the staff were stunned.
Then she repeated the process.
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
"Why does this recharge tier only allow one payment at a time? It's a bit annoying," Asta muttered with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Someone nearby had already pulled out a calculator to tally up Asta's spending.
A moment later, the person's hands trembled as they showed the number on the calculator to Asta.
"Station Manager, stop recharging! Stop!"
"You've already spent over 200 million!"
"Oh."
"My hand's a bit sore. I'll stop here for now."
Asta glanced at the calculator, then happily opened the Warp interface.
A staff member recording the process on their phone tentatively asked, "Um, Station Manager, can I livestream your Warp process to our colleagues in the space station?"
"Sure, if you think it'll help them."
"Thank you, Station Manager!"
Soon.
News of Asta spending 200 million credits spread through various group chats.
[Lady Herta Fan Club] Group Chat.
"Is this for real? 200 million? She's so young, where did she get 200 million?"
"I heard Asta was going to spend even more, but her hand got sore halfway through."
"She must've gone overboard with the gacha and used public funds, right? Otherwise, where would she get that much money?"
"I just checked the game's description of Asta. There's a keyword: [Inherited Family Business]."
"Could Miss Asta be the daughter of some big company's CEO?"
"Why would I still stan Herta? I'd definitely cling to this rich woman!"
"My biggest competitor now is Peppy!"
"Notification: You have been removed from the group chat."
Main Control Sector.
A screen broadcasting real-time space station news was now crowded with staff.
The livestream showed Asta's gacha process.
Seeing the string of numbers in the top-right corner representing Stellar Jades.
The staff felt their mouths go dry.
"That's more than my bank account balance!"
"Good, good. Now we can enjoy this to the fullest."
"Our Station Manager is this rich?"
"Is she going to empty the entire gacha pool?"
"I wonder if there are other 5-star limited characters besides Himeko…"
Asta didn't waste any time.
She started pulling immediately.
After all, she wasn't doing this for the livestream or anything.
She just wanted to pull Himeko from the gacha!
First 10-pull: Dan Heng.
Eidolon +1.
Second 10-pull: A Light Cone featuring March 7th, [The First Day of the Rest of My Life].
Asta studied it for a moment, then equipped it to March 7th.
She kept pulling.
"This is a bit slow."
"Huh? There's a skip animation button in the top-right corner."
Asta started skipping the animations.
Her eyes were only on Himeko.
Third 10-pull:
Destruction Light Cone—[Woof! Walk Time!]
Seeing the Light Cone's cover, Asta couldn't help but laugh.
"Even Peppy made it into the game?"
"Developer, you really know your stuff!"
"I'll keep this Light Cone. It'll make a nice collectible."
Fourth 10-pull: [Sushang] and [Natasha].
Sushang had already been pulled by Xiao Guizi, so it didn't cause much of a stir.
But Natasha caught some people's attention.
"A new 4-star character? I wonder how strong she is."
"She's not from our space station. Is she another Xianzhou character?"
If it were anyone else, pulling a new character they hadn't seen before would warrant a thorough investigation.
Maybe it was some powerful 4-star character.
But Asta's eyes were only on Himeko.
She just noted that Natasha was an Abundance path, Physical attribute character, and didn't delve deeper.
Because.
The next 10-pull would be the 50-pull guarantee.
A guaranteed 5-star character!
Maybe it would be Miss Himeko herself.
"Swish!"
Amidst a golden light.
A 5-star symbol appeared on the screen.
But it wasn't the Erudition symbol.
It was the Nihility symbol.
On the screen.
A man with black-framed glasses extended one hand, while the other held a cane made of dark red and black gold.
Red lightning crackled around him.
[Welt (New), Imaginary Attribute, 5-Star, Nihility]
"A new 5-star character!"
"Isn't that… that guy from the Astral Express crew?"
"Right, among the Astral Express members, only Welt was left. It's not like everyone else became playable characters except him."
"This guy looks so ordinary. Why is he a 5-star character in the game?"
"I wonder what his abilities are? What's his ultimate like?"
Seeing that her guaranteed 5-star from the beginner banner wasn't Himeko, Asta wasn't disappointed.
In fact, she was quite pleased.
She explained to everyone with a smile, "Don't underestimate Mr. Welt. He's very deep and reserved, and a very trustworthy friend."
"But for now, I won't rush to show you Mr. Welt's skills. You'll all get to pull him eventually."
"Right now, I still want to pull Miss Himeko."
The staff nearby couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.
For Miss Himeko, she's really… I'm moved to tears!
But thanks to Asta's exploration, the space station players now knew.
Besides Himeko, there's also Mr. Welt among the 5-star characters.
Let's hope this character is at least somewhat strong.
Otherwise, if you get him instead of Himeko and don't have Asta's spending power, you'll have to restart with tears in your eyes.
To be continued…
