Chapter 72 Single Draw God of War (Card Draw)
The system is really gone.

No matter how An Jing called it, it wouldn't respond, as if it had disappeared.

The day after he "left," An Jing's mood was quite complicated.

She originally thought that the lukewarm cold war was just the system's usual temper, and that it could be eased with a few words of coaxing.

After all, she had been constantly criticized by the system in the past, and when she occasionally retorted, it would only ignore her for ten minutes at most; she was never really angry.

But this time it seems different.

She called out to it during class, "Are you there?"

No one responded.

He tripped and fell during training, panting as he tentatively asked, "Are you still angry?"

Still no response.

While taking a bath that evening, she was really bored and tentatively whispered, "Are you really not going to talk to me anymore?"

The other side remained deathly silent, as if the entire system had been severed from the mental connection.

She initially suspected it might be malfunctioning, but upon checking the cards, they were all there and there seemed to be no problem.

On second thought, she felt that the system was like a spoiled daughter-in-law throwing a tantrum and going back to her parents' home.

Is this some kind of compliance test?

"Sigh." An Jing sighed, resting her chin on her hand, and carried the thoughtful notebook back to her dorm. "This is outrageous."

The notebook jumped onto her desk with a thud, opened to the page, and read: "I'm not being outrageous."

An Jing was both amused and exasperated. "I wasn't talking about you."

She didn't say anything more, put away her notes, opened her textbook, and silently reviewed the mysterious theories taught today.

Then on the third and fourth days, the system remained completely silent.

And she really did adapt.

Without the system nagging in your ear, everything seemed strangely peaceful.

However, this calm does not mean complete adaptation.

It feels a bit empty, a bit stuffy, and strangely unfamiliar.

Until the fifth day.

During lunch, she casually mentioned to Xu Xiaoyi, "I'm planning to draw a few cards this afternoon."

Since entering the mysterious magnetic field, An Jing's roommates have all known about her situation, and the 404 Special Service Department has signed an A-level confidentiality agreement with them.

The other rescued individuals underwent partial memory erasure using memory-clearing devices.

However, the speaker meant no harm, but the listener...

【Great! Great! Gacha pulls are great!】

That familiar voice suddenly exploded in his mind, startling An Jing so much that he almost poked his nose with the chopsticks in his hand.

"You're still here?" Her eyes widened.

The system snorted, its voice soft but its disdain clear: "I've been living perfectly well, I just didn't want to bother with you."

“I…” An Jing was speechless for a moment, “I thought you were busy, cough cough.”

Ha, even if someone you don't love hangs themselves, you'd think they're swinging on a swing.

An Jing: "..."

Where did you learn that?

It seems I really need to find a way to block the system when I'm using my phone.

They're all just playing on their phones!
She coughed twice, changing the subject: "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Can we still draw cards now?"

Although the system's voice remained cold, it finally resumed its familiar, procedural tone: "[You currently have five draw chances. Please confirm whether to use single-draw mode?]"

“Yes.” An Jing nodded. “I want to try single pulls to see if the attributes will be more distributed. Every time I do a ten-pull, I only gain mental power. I’ve been punished three times in training this week. If this continues, I’ll fall behind.”

After a brief silence, the system replied: [Confirmed. Currently in single-draw mode. The first round of draws is about to begin.]

Light and shadow appear.

An ordinary one-star card slowly unfolded, its dark gray edges bearing a familiar symbol. [Horror Movie Simulator]

Attribute Bonus: [Stamina +1]

“…Oh.” An Jing raised an eyebrow. “You really increased your stamina?”

I wonder what effect the increased stamina will have on me.

The system didn't say anything and proceeded directly to the second draw.

The card remains dull.

Horror Movie Simulator

[Stamina +1]

An Jing smiled, unsurprised.

The third and fourth draws were the same template, a four-draw [Stamina +1], which was a pleasant surprise.

Although all the cards I drew were one-star cards, it's already pretty good that they all added to my stamina.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief, just about to finish drawing her last bottle.

[Note: The fifth draw is about to begin.]

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the light screen, like a sharp blade piercing through the void.

The card slowly unfolded before her eyes, its surface radiating golden light, like gold melting under the blazing sun.

The system's tone changed, almost excitedly: [Wow, a five-star card! An Jing, you're rich! You got a gold card in a single pull!]

"Another gold card?" An Jing stared intently at the unfolding card, his fingers tightening slightly.

As the golden light faded, a new card became clearly visible.

The card depicts a young girl wearing a black, fitted long dress in the style of ancient Europe, with long golden hair. Her facial features are obscured, but she exudes a subtle sense of oppression.

She held a folding fan covered with strange runes, and there were patterns of mysterious magnetic fields left at her feet, as if they could pull people into some kind of enclosed space at any moment.

The system read out the card name: [Five-Star Card - Rule Creator (Girl Form)]

[Type: Control/Analysis/Spatial Construction]

[Basic Skill 1: Setting Domain Rules (Allows users to customize behavioral logic rules for a small area within a short period; the strength of these rules is affected by the user's mental strength)]

[Basic Skill 2: Rule Correction (Can erase the consequences of specified minor violations)]

[Additional Ability: Enigmatic Imagery (This card's character will simulate and record the behavioral logic of others while idle, generating an adversarial model)]

"..." An Jing stared at the card for three seconds, then couldn't help but whisper, "This... is pretty amazing. But doesn't it overlap with the ability of that notebook?"

"[Much more powerful than a laptop.]" The system's tone finally became more serious. "[This isn't a regular combat card, but in the Mysterious Magnetic Field, it's practically a divine artifact.]"

[Your gacha rates are so low... I don't even want to analyze them anymore. You might as well consider buying a lottery ticket.]

An Jing licked her slightly dry lips, suppressing her racing heart: "Does she have a card opening process?"

Yes, see if she's willing to talk to you. The more powerful the card, the stronger its arrogance.

“…It’s so complicated.” An Jing sighed, but still kept looking at the card.

On the card of the rule creator, the girl suddenly tilted her head slightly, as if responding to her gaze.

The laptop popped out, and I opened the page: [Am I about to fall out of favor?]

An Jing: "?"

The system immediately popped up: 【Haha, it knows you're fickle, serves you right!】

"Stop talking." An Jing covered her eyes with one hand and pressed down on the pen that kept jumping around with the other.

Then, An Jing looked at the rule-maker.

Not knowing what to say, An Jing thought for a long time before finally managing to stammer out a "Hello?"

The rule-maker has a head of smooth, golden curly hair that emits a faint glow, and a halo of the Virgin Mary above her head.

But the things he says can be incredibly hurtful.
