Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Description: The object is made from the skeleton of an unknown organism, 5 cm tall, weighing 22 grams. It is shaped like a black chess piece, and its interior is undetectable. If left untouched for an extended period (over sixty minutes), the object will move on its own… It is currently suspected that there are other chess pieces inside.

Based on the identification number AD-1-18900323-35346, it is suspected that this strange object can grant ordinary people immense physical strength, but their minds will gradually be distorted. This strange object shows signs of external psionic interference, suggesting it may be controlled by a supernatural being…

More information requires further testing and experimentation.

Zhao Hao pointed to the strange object's number and asked, "What does this mean?"

Colt hesitated for a moment before replying, “C represents the extraordinary level, and D represents the danger level. These two levels range from the highest S to the lowest D, a total of 5 levels… Next, 1 indicates that the contained artifact is an item, 19780726 is today, representing the containment date, and 32146 is a five-digit random number. All the artifacts sealed by our department are numbered like this.”

The piece on this document isn't the chess piece stuck in the woman's chest; that piece was just an ordinary chess piece, made of hard plastic.

This was on that man's person. When the man in black discovered it was a strange object, he immediately activated the program to seal it.

Colt said, "Since you're only a Level 0 agent, this can't be considered a normal seizure; you have some authority over its disposal. So, what are your thoughts?"

Just as Uncle Iron possesses many strange or extraordinary items, the Bureau of Mysteries cannot possibly seal away all the strange items it discovers. In fact, it doesn't have the capability to do so.

They themselves sometimes even use strange objects for their own purposes.

Otherwise, how did the memory erasure pen come about?

Zhao Hao waved his hands repeatedly: "It's entirely up to the bureau to handle this; I have no objections!"

Zhao Hao: This thing looks like a set. If I keep it, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? I should hand it over to the Mysterious Bureau and let them deal with it!

Zhao Hao was extremely satisfied with his actions, which were comparable to finding money for life-extending rituals and stuffing it into a temple's donation box, making Buddha and the person who performed the ritual the same!

Besides, you came to me with photos right away, it's obvious you didn't intend to take them with you!

Colt patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder: "Good lad, you're smart! I'll give you another 30 merit points!"

Meanwhile, atop a clock tower in Liberty City, a tall, thin man wearing a top hat and a tailcoat, holding a cane, sighed: "Alas, another pawn lost. Once sealed by the Bureau of Mysteries, it's basically gone forever. Bad luck indeed..."

This person was the one who took the strange object from Heidegger's basement when Zhao Hao first transmigrated.

……

In the afternoon, when we returned to the antique shop, Uncle Tie asked about what had happened, but didn't say much.

Zhao Hao left work as usual, and when he got home, he chatted with Elena next door for a few minutes, making plans to listen to her newly learned songs over the weekend.

But the moment he entered the house and closed the door, Zhao Hao suddenly jumped up!

"Hey~ I won! I won!"

He excitedly clenched his fist, opened his mouth wide, spun around in place, and jumped around, looking just like a gorilla who had found a bunch of bananas.

Today I killed that chess piece killer, +55 Fate Points, 893 + 55 = 948 Fate Points!

A 10-pull of Iron-tier cards guarantees at least one character card! Plus, it's 10% off, so you only need 900 points!

God knows how he managed to keep a straight face all day, holding back until he got home that evening, when he secretly felt excited!

Zhao Hao can practically be called a "ninja"!

"Finally! Finally, it's happening!"

At this moment, Zhao Hao could no longer hold back. If he didn't do a ten-pull soon, he would suffocate himself!

It can also easily make readers so anxious they get boils!

"System, wait... I need to go wash my hands first..."

Zhao Hao suddenly remembered something. He first washed his hands, but then, feeling it was inappropriate, he washed his face as well, very carefully.

Then they began to pray, from Allah to God, from Buddha to the Three Pure Ones, from Odin to Yang Chaoyue, from the Jade Emperor to Zeus, the King of Gods...

"Alright, here I come! System... Draw! Card!"

In a daze, Zhao Hao saw ten cards in his mind!

------------

Chapter 32 Multi-Hooked Cat? Barrier Master?

In my mind, the cards are arranged in two rows of five, for a total of ten cards!

"That's more like it! All neat and tidy! Before, they were all one by one, which looked so lonely. Ten pulls are so much better, ten pulls are so much better!"

Zhao Hao focused his attention on the first card, which depicted a white man with a white ponytail, scars on his face, and red crosses flashing in his eyes!

Wow, red-eye effects! If this were paired with its own background music, it would be a killer move!

[Demon Hunter's Senses]

Black Iron 3-Star Ability Card

Equipment: Grants you the sensory abilities of a Witcher, allowing you to effectively observe and track psionic energy, scents, traces, and more.

Note: This psionic trace is... a female sorceress!

Zhao Hao: ⊙▽⊙? This card seems a bit unorthodox!

When Zhao Hao saw this card, he also understood what an ability card was.

If character cards grant the character the ability of the card character upon equipping them, then ability cards grant the user a specific ability from the card.

"That means, after equipping this card, I'll gain the sensory abilities of a demon hunter. I remember in the game, Jae Camel could see traces and smells! Combined with my innate ability to see ghosts, it's a powerful synergy! Not bad! Very impressive!"

Like character cards, ability cards also have limited slots.

Zhao Hao currently has only one character card slot, which is already equipped with [Black Tiger Afu].

There are six equipment slots in total, and the [Dragon Slayer Sword] is equipped.

There are two ability card slots and two summon card slots, all empty!

As for item cards, those don't need to be equipped and don't have card slots.

With the equipment in mind, Zhao Hao inserted the [Demon Hunter's Senses] into an ability slot.

Zhao Hao immediately felt his mind clear up. He heard some trivial noises and smelled various complex odors. When he opened his eyes, he saw a very fine black dot on the white wall three meters away. He could see things with remarkable clarity!

He opened the character panel and saw that nothing else had changed, except that his Spirit Vision had increased by 3 points, bringing it to 25 points!

This might not be a good thing! It makes it easier to see unclean things!

Zhao Hao didn't have time to adjust to the sudden increase in his five senses, so he went to look at the second card.

The second card depicts a boy dressed in Japanese-style Shugendo attire, who appears to be only six or seven years old. His hands are forming mudras, and beside him stands a Zen staff much taller than himself. Floating to the side is a creature with the upper body of a dog, wearing prayer beads, but with the lower body resembling a ghost.

This style is very strong; you can tell at a glance that it's a monk from Japan. But isn't he a bit too young?

They were already out making a living while still in kindergarten?!

【Young Barrier Master: Toshikami Sumimura (1/3)】

Black Iron 3-Star Character Card

Attributes: +2 Perception, +2 Spirit

Talent: Spiritual Power

Skills: Interspersed Barrier Technique*Remnant, Paper God Technique, Inugami Taming.

Note: The strongest barrier masters live in their own world!

"Oh, my dear character cards!"

A guaranteed character card in every 10 pulls!

The key to a 10-pull!

However, this time I wasn't as lucky as the first time I drew a card. This is a fragment character card, which requires two Iron-grade fragment cards to synthesize into a complete card before it can be equipped!

"Wow! This is awful! What's wrong with you? You're not some kind of system developed by Tencent's programmers, are you?"

Zhao Hao grabbed his hair and shook his head for a while before putting down the card and looking at the next one.

The card depicts a large, brown cat standing upright, holding a three-pronged short hook!

【Multi-hook cat】

Black Iron 2-Star Summoning Card

Use: Permanently summons a multi-hook cat to obey your commands.

Skills: Disguise, feline instincts, rodent killer

Note: No summoning cost, permanent duration, does not occupy a summoning slot.

Note: What kind of mischief could the kittens in Beachy Forest possibly have?

Disguise: to disguise oneself as an ordinary kitten.

Feline instincts: possessing instincts and characteristics unique to cats.

Rodent killer: It has an extra deterrent and lethal effect on all rodents.

Zhao Hao's interest was immediately piqued. A special summoning card? He felt like he'd won the lottery!

When Zhao Hao saw the card information again, he knew what it meant.

This card doesn't activate when equipped in a card slot; instead, it's used directly, similar to an item card.

This is quite rare, because the number of summon slots is limited! This is essentially an extra summon!

Other summoning cards have time limits, various costs for each summon, and some are permanent summons but require equipping to a summoning card slot. Once the card is removed, the summoned creature disappears.

Those summoning cards that require an equipment slot all summon a creature from the card. But this card directly added a multi-hook cat to the world! Even Zhao Hao himself couldn't take it back!

No, absolutely no! The meaning is completely different!

“These special summons are usually very powerful! That’s what it says on the website!” Zhao Hao immediately chose to use the card.

then……

"Wow~" A plump, tabby orange cat appeared on Zhao Hao's desk, lazily stretching and yawning.

Zhao Hao stared at it for a long time, exclaiming, "No! No! This isn't the one we ordered! It's not what we ordered! Where's my big multi-hook cat? I want a refund, I want to report this!"

The orange cat lazily rolled over, revealing its snow-white belly, then stretched out its paw—"snap~"—and produced a short, three-pronged hook more than ten centimeters long, before scratching its belly.

Orange cat: That's right, it's me!

Zhao Hao actually understood its meaning!

"I fucking..."
