Holding the purple card in his hand, Lyney could feel his heart pounding wildly.
Four-star. Purple card!
The back of the card was far more intricate than a three-star's, and the entire thing had a metallic texture.
The front depicted an armored warrior drawing a bow. Though the figure was slightly blurred, it exuded an overwhelming sense of power—as if a terrifying force was about to burst forth!
"Gulp."
Lyney swallowed hard, taking deep breaths to steady himself.
He looked at Lu Heng excitedly. "Boss, what do you think?"
"Congratulations."
Lu Heng took the card and lightly brushed his fingers over it.
Instantly, lines of text appeared.
At the same time, the figure on the card became slightly clearer.
Lyney stared without blinking.
Furina, standing nearby, also leaned in, her hands clenched tightly behind her back.
She understood the allure of gacha now.
If she had bad luck, she could at least take solace in others' misfortune. But when someone else got lucky? The pain hit instantly.
Damn lucky bastards!
[Divine Archery]
[Rarity]: 4-star · Purple
[Type]: [Skill Card]
[Trait]: [Sustained]
[Description]: When equipped, drawing a bow enhances arm strength and grants [Arrow Intent]. Within 1,000 meters, every shot hits its mark!
"Your luck is incredible."
Lu Heng handed the card back to Lyney with a sigh. "This is another passive skill card. Once activated, your archery efficiency improves significantly, and your arm strength is enhanced—a massive upgrade for any archer. Not to mention, it comes with [Arrow Intent]."
"Within a kilometer, as long as you will it, your arrows will land exactly where you want."
Lyney didn't hesitate—he equipped the card immediately.
For Vision holders, firing an arrow a kilometer wasn't difficult.
The real challenge was accuracy.
Lyney didn't know how precise other experts could be, but he could only guarantee hits within 100 meters.
Now?
Within a kilometer, even a thin thread could be severed with a casual shot.
He doubted anyone would want to face arrows that never missed.
With this card, he'd have far more room to maneuver in combat.
For an archer, unless the battlefield was cramped, how many enemies could close the distance through a hail of arrows?
And in the wild…
Lyney's grin widened uncontrollably.
"Stop daydreaming."
Lynette nudged him from behind.
Lyney snapped back to reality. "Th-Thank you, boss!"
"Don't thank me. Thank your luck," Lu Heng chuckled before asking, "Want to keep pulling?"
"No."
Lyney shook his head. "I'll stop here for today. It's my sister's turn now."
"Alright."
Lu Heng didn't press further.
While Lynette began her draws, Lyney headed to the card dismantling station.
The beginner equipment device could only hold one card and didn't allow swaps.
Lyney still had two decent three-star cards, and dismantling the rest would give him enough experience to upgrade his device.
Meanwhile…
Lu Heng handed Furina a cup of freshly brewed black tea.
The sulking Hydro Archon sat on the sofa, munching on potato chips—crunch, crunch, crunch.
Lu Heng glanced at her. With her cheeks puffed up, she looked like an aggrieved little hamster.
"The lime flavor's pretty good."
The snacks lifted her mood slightly.
And when Lynette failed to match Lyney's luck, Furina's spirits rose another notch.
This!
This is how gacha should be!
Only absolute freaks pull purples!
The thought made her smile.
Lu Heng mentally dubbed this phenomenon: "If you suffer too, I feel better."
Furina sipped her tea to wash down the chips, then turned to Lu Heng and whispered, "You're closing at six?"
Her furtive tone amused him.
"Yep. Energy's limited—can't spend all my time running the shop, right?"
If I was a corporate drone before transmigrating and still am after, what was the point?!
"I see…"
Furina looked disappointed but pressed on, murmuring, "Could you make an exception? For a very big client? A huge one?"
"How huge?"
Lu Heng studied her before nodding. "I'll consider it."
"Perfect!"
Furina barely stifled her glee, quickly schooling her expression. "Ten tonight."
"Got it."
As Furina stood, Lu Heng watched her grab a few more snack bags, pay, and hurry off.
"Huh? Lady Furina didn't come to pull?" Lyney walked over, puzzled.
"Just bought some snacks," Lu Heng smiled.
Lyney glanced at Furina's retreating back. "Given how much she likes them, she might add them to the Palais Mermonia's monthly procurement list."
"Extra income, then."
Lu Heng chuckled. "How're you feeling now?"
"Amazing."
Lyney nodded.
Even after ten minutes, the excitement hadn't faded.
And after upgrading his equipment device to Tier 1 Iron, the card's effects had improved further—making him feel leagues stronger than before!
"Thank you so much!"
Every time he thought about it, Lyney got fired up.
This was power independent of his Vision—no conflicts, just pure synergy.
With proper use, he felt he could even challenge for a Fatui Harbinger seat now.
Lu Heng smiled. "Glad you're happy."
Lyney checked the time. "Boss, my sister's about done. We'll head out now."
"Come back anytime."
"See you. May business thrive!"
As Lyney and Lynette left, Lyney realized he'd underestimated the shop's significance.
Need to report to Father immediately.
He quickened his pace.
6:00 PM.
The shop's notice board displayed its operating hours.
No one was foolish enough to cause trouble here—even nobles who were next in line could only leave regretfully.
Lu Heng didn't lock up.
After a quick dinner, as dusk fell and streetlights flickered on, he turned his attention to the system.
[Exclusive Gacha Pool (1-6 Stars)]: 10,455 pulls.
The exclusive pool's highest tier was one rank above the standard pool—after all, it was the shop owner's privilege. Fair!
And 10,000+ pulls meant today's earnings totaled over 100,000 draws—1.145 billion Mora!
While a few nobles had spent millions, most customers were middle-class like Lyney.
"Ten thousand pulls…"
Even Lu Heng was stunned.
With his maxed-out equipment device, even a few hundred decent three-star cards would elevate his combat prowess to terrifying heights!
"Time to roll!"
