Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

It wasn't long ago that I had my last ten-pull, right? This is happening way too fast, I'm getting a little tired of it!

and many more!

Zhao Hao suddenly realized something was wrong!

"Mortal 4-star, Iron 1-star... and I'm a Mortal 5-star?! I'm short 100 Fate Points!"

"Oh my god! This system must have been developed by Tencent! I've never heard of upgrading to a higher level! Give me back my 100 points..."

Unfortunately, the system in my mind didn't respond at all.

Zhao Hao: I should have held back! Missing a promotion is a huge loss!

However, the rewards are even greater after advancing to Iron rank!

First, there's +1 character card slot, then +2 ability card slots, and then +2 summon card slots.

At this time, Zhao Hao also received relevant information. It turned out that the Fate Points gained from each Black Iron-level star upgrade were 10 times that of the Mortal-level upgrade, which is 1000 points.

The daily check-in reward for Fate Points has also increased. Mortals now receive 1 to 5 points randomly, while Iron-ranked individuals receive 5 to 10 points randomly! This is a huge increase!

Each major advancement, such as advancing from Mortal to Iron, or from Iron to Bronze, will grant +1 character card slot, +2 ability card slots, and +2 summon card slots.

The number of equipment cards remains unchanged, there are always only 6!

Furthermore, because Zhao Hao advanced to Iron rank, the Bronze rank card draw was also unlocked.

A Black Iron-level gacha pull costs 100 Fate Points per pull, while a Bronze-level gacha pull costs 10 times that, meaning it takes 1000 Fate Points to pull once. A 10-pull still offers a 10% discount and guarantees a character card.

Zhao Hao currently has over 1 points but can only do one single draw of a bronze card!

Zhao Hao: So should I do a single pull for Bronze, or a ten-pull for Iron?

Should you take a gamble and see if you can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle? Or should you play it safe and be invincible?

In the end, Zhao Hao chose the safer option!

After all, in the Bronze level, not only character cards, but also equipment cards and summon cards are becoming fragmented!

If you draw a fragment, not only can you not equip it, but you also don't have enough Fate Points to continue drawing Bronze Fragment Cards to synthesize it, that would be incredibly frustrating!

Zhao Hao: "System, give me a ten-pull of Black Iron!"

Chapter 37 The Big-Nosed Princess...

As usual, five cards in each of the two rows!

The first card depicts a short-handled sickle, not the kind used for harvesting crops in rural areas, but more like a meat hook!

Ghost Scythe

Black Iron 2-Star Item Card

Steal Wealth: Using this scythe to damage enemies will cause them to lose extra wealth. You will receive 5% of the lost wealth through various means such as picking up money.

Evolution: Using this scythe to make 1000 cuts will cause it to evolve into Ghost Crescent.

Note: Harvesting, harvesting, harvesting chives—hard work leads to wealth!

Zhao Hao held the sickle in his hand. It was about forty centimeters long and quite heavy. It was completely black with a bright blade and an unknown wooden handle... It looked like a good tool for harvesting chives!

But using this thing to chop people up probably wouldn't be very satisfying.

After all, it feels so good to slay with my Dragon Slayer Blade! Why go through all this cruelty of cutting flesh piece by piece?

You can't just go out on the street and stab anyone you meet for money, can you?

Let's put it aside for now and look at the second card.

The second card depicts an upright cat dressed in simple leather clothing, wearing a helmet, holding a long-handled cat paw-like object, and a large flatbed cart parked next to it.

Zhao Hao: Another cat?! I can't afford it, I can't afford it!

Follower Cat

Black Iron 4-Star Summoning Card

Use: Summons a minion cat to fight for you.

Duration: 10 hour.

Summoning Costs: Some psionic energy, 20 cat grass stalks, 1 can of cat food, 500g of cat food!

Talents: Cooking, Combat Support.

Skills: Stealing Technique, Dodging Technique, Shadowless Boomerang, Cat Bird Net, Cat Bomb Barrel.

Note: Get on the cat cart quickly, there's no time to explain!

Well, it's a 4-star Black Iron summon. Although it has a talent that includes cooking, its skills are still quite powerful.

However, this type of summoning card is the more common kind that has a duration and costs money for each summon.

This is alright. Although cat grass and canned cat food are a bit tricky to find, at least they're easy to buy.

At this moment, Zhao Hao compared the Orange Cat with the [Multi-Hook Cat] and finally understood the preciousness of the Orange Cat.

A permanent summon that doesn't take up a summoning card slot is quite valuable!

Although it's only a 2-star Black Iron card, it can be upgraded.

Cards can be upgraded and gain new attributes and abilities by fusing with other cards.

Zhao Hao looked at the orange cat: It seems I need to focus on training this fat cat! I'll show you how terrifying a cat forced to be self-disciplined can be!

Zhao Hao had actually been thinking about fusing cards, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

Okay, let's look at the third card first.

The card depicts a green, jelly-like mass, with translucent, gelatinous oval objects containing small air bubbles. The color is very healthy-looking.

What is this?

Baby Slime

Black Iron 1-Star Summoning Card

Use: Summons a slime to obey your commands.

Duration: Permanent.

Summoning costs: 3kg green jelly, 1kg protein, 500ml sulfuric acid, and 30ml plant growth promoter.

Talents: Devour, Evolution

Note: Glug glug glug~

"Ugh~ Hiss~"

Zhao Hao didn't know what to say.

It's bad enough that it's a slime, but it's also a baby! Who isn't a baby at some point?

It doesn't even have any skills; it's a Black Iron 1-star summon card, truly deserving of its low rating!

However, this little thing has a great talent. It goes without saying that it can devour food; any slime has this talent. It's not picky about food!

As for evolution, to what extent can it evolve?

This summoning consumes quite a bit of resources, including jelly and sulfuric acid. Zhao Hao felt he needed to go to a large supermarket!

Let's continue to the fourth card.

The card depicts a strange old woman with a bird and a nest on her head, holding a test tube of green medicine in her hand.

[Evolution Potion]

Black Iron 3-Star Item Card

Evolution: Give it to your pet to make it evolve.

Note: Not all pets can adapt, so it's best not to force them.

Note: Grandma Oran hopes all your pets are wonderful!

Zhao Hao originally intended to pinch the orange cat's nose and force it to drink the liquid.

The orange-headed creature, who was fast asleep, suddenly exclaimed: Danger!

I saw the "Note" and decided to ignore it.

"Wait! Evolution potion, evolution talent... This potion seems to be a perfect match for this little softie!" Unfortunately, Zhao Hao didn't have the materials to summon the little softie, so he couldn't force-feed it.

The fifth card features a Chinese longsword.

The Heaven Sword

Black Iron 3-Star Equipment Card

Equipment: +1 Constitution, +1 Agility, +1 Spirit.

Characteristics: Steel-breaking, Sword Qi, Ancient Sword, Tyrant.

Note: If only I had the Heavenly Sword, I could cross the sea and slay the giant whale.

Cutting steel: Extremely sharp, capable of slicing through iron like mud.

Sword Qi: By infusing internal force, spiritual energy, true qi, etc., one can release a sword qi that is one foot long.

Ancient Sword: A legendary sword from ancient times, its wielder exudes an aura of solemnity and unapproachability.

Tyrant: Once owned by a tyrant, its holder may incur the dislike of others if its strength is insufficient.

Zhao Hao: "You're back again...wait, why did I say 'again'?"

The Heaven-Slaying Sword was now in his hand, over a meter long, heavy, and gleaming. Zhao Hao picked up a bamboo chopstick to test the sword, and it broke with a gentle touch!

"A fine sword!"

But Zhao Hao, who was holding the sword, was in a bit of a dilemma!

I already have the Dragon Slayer Sword, I can't possibly use another weapon!

Never mind, let's put that aside for now and look at the cards first.

The sixth card depicts a person, a hunched-over fellow dressed in a black robe, lewdly peeping at the flowers!
