"Hmph, at least I can finally leave this backward place," Rin muttered to herself.
"Next time, I hope there will be a few more strong individuals here," Esdeath said, making no attempt to hide her disappointment.
A golden portal slowly opened behind the three of them, signaling that the moment of parting had arrived.
Gu Chuan stepped through the portal first, followed closely by Esdeath and Rin Tohsaka. Just as their figures were about to disappear, Shinobu Kocho finally couldn't resist, stepping forward and softly calling out, "Gu Chuan-kun!"
Gu Chuan turned around and saw that the morning light reflected in the girl's eyes, as did his own figure.
"We...we will definitely meet again, right?"
"Of course." Gu Chuan left his final promise, and his figure completely disappeared into the portal.
Gu Chuan spent his first afternoon back in the modern world of 943 leisurely on the sofa. While drinking an iced cola, he lurked in the chat group with great interest, watching the sour "world war" that had been triggered by the "leak" in the chat group.
The aftermath of the war continued until he returned home after having his "cherry blossom breakfast" that morning.
[Gem Magician]: (Gritting his teeth) Butterfly Dance, don't be too smug! You only got away with it because that crazy woman tricked me!
[Butterfly Dance]: Oh my gosh~ Is Miss Rin jealous? But some things can't be obtained by just waiting. First come, first served. Hehe~
Shinobu's words, seemingly a response to Rin, were in fact like a tiny, honey-coated needle, subtly pricking someone in the group.
She didn't directly point out the matter between Gu Chuan and Ganlu Temple, but her phrase "first come, first served" inadvertently revealed a subtle emotion that only the parties involved could understand and that was not easily noticed.
[Alicia]: Oh wow~ I think I smell... a new, sweet and sour smell~ Mr. Observer, what a sinful man you are.
[March 7th]: Huh? Is there something new? What did I miss?!
[Little Thief Cat]: (Taking out a notebook and frantically taking notes) The world of the big shots is truly turbulent!
Rin clearly sensed something was off from Shinobu's words. Just as she was about to press for details, Shinobu subtly changed the subject.
[Butterfly Dance]: Alright, enough joking with Rin-san. To celebrate the new students and to better help everyone, I'm going to... use all the points I earned from this mission for a lottery!
In an instant, everyone in the group was drawn to that sentence.
[March 7th]: Wow! Two thousand points! Is Miss Shinobu going all in?!
[Gem Magician]: Hmph, finally you've done something worthwhile. Draw yours, let me see how lucky you really are.
[Little Thief Cat]: All in! We absolutely have to go all in! Sister Shinobu, trust me! All in will bring miracles, single pulls will only bring bad luck! Our "All in Cult" will always welcome you!
Nami went to great lengths to promote her "all-in theory," acting like a fanatical pyramid scheme leader, instantly enlivening the atmosphere of the entire group chat.
[Alicia]: Hehe, that sounds quite persuasive~
【Ice Queen】: Boredom, luck, and strength are also part of it.
Just as Shinobu Kocho was hesitating because of everyone's encouragement, unsure whether to listen to their advice and do a ten-pull or play it safe with a single pull, D, who had been "lurking" all along, finally popped up.
[Observer]: Single draw.
These two simple words, without explanation or analysis, carry an undeniable weight, as if they were law.
Shinobu Kocho, who had been hesitating just a second ago, immediately broke into a trusting and sweet smile the moment she saw the message.
[Butterfly Dance]: Okay, Gu Chuanjun, I'll do whatever you say.
[Gem Magician]: Hey!
Rin only had time to type one word before Shinobu Kocho decisively pressed the "Ten Single Draws" button. This unwavering trust and tacit understanding made Rin's teeth itch again.
[March 7th]: Wow~ This is... the Empress's Wei Si Ling Qi Er Si Xia 罒裙. Shall we chat?
[Little Thief Cat]: I was wondering why Chuan-kun didn't come to sign in and get 100 points. Turns out he was waiting for this.
Amidst playful banter, everyone intently watched the screen, analyzing who had better luck, who was better suited for single draws, and who was better suited for all-in bets. The atmosphere was incredibly lively. (For the most exciting content, visit Feilu Novels!)
The next second, a series of glittering system notifications flooded the chat group like a waterfall!
[System notification: "Butterfly Dance" has used 10x [Gift of Fate]!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Butterfly Dance! You have obtained a [Grade C Item] – [Enhancement Potion (Family Pack)]! Applying this will enhance your physical body and remove impurities; an essential item for home and travel!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Butterfly Dance! You have obtained a [Rank B] item – [Flight Wings]! Wearing them, you will be the most enchanting angel (with a slight charm and flight effect)]
[Ding! Congratulations, Butterfly Dance! You have obtained the [A Concept] – [Spatial Beacon (Rechargeable Version)]! It can locate and teleport you to the bound user at any time!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Butterfly Dance! You have obtained [Item A] – [Universal Medical Nanorobot (100 million units)]! It can repair most physical and energy damage!]
……
[Ding! Congratulations, Butterfly Dance! You have obtained the [S-Rank Concept]—[Rumble-Rumble Fruit]! One of the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruits from the distant blue sea! Control lightning and become thunder!]
When the last [S-level] notification appeared, the entire chat group fell into a deathly silence that lasted for ten seconds.
Immediately following was a burst of wails, as loud as a flash flood, filled with the sour smell of lemons!
[March 7th]: S...S-rank?! Rumble-Rumble Fruit?! I'm not seeing things, am I?! Ahhhhhh! Shinobu-san! What kind of divine luck is this?!
[Little Cat Thief]: (Faints on the spot) (I'm so jealous I'm unconscious) My... my Rumble-Rumble Fruit... that's what I've always dreamed of! Rich woman! Please let me cling to your coattails!
[Gemstone Sorcerer]: ...Are you kidding me?! Ten single pulls and I got an S-rank?! This is not science! This is not magic!
[Ice Queen]: ...Good luck.
The group members collectively exclaimed about the "birth of a rich woman," expressing envy, jealousy, memes, and bandwagon effects, pushing the atmosphere in the group to a new climax. Looking at her acquisitions, especially the [Spatial Beacon] and the [Victoria's Secret Suit] with its enigmatic yet seemingly impressive design, Shinobu couldn't help but blush.
Just as the group chat was in an uproar, with everyone lamenting the different plot developments and feeling incredibly jealous—
[Observer]: Looks like I'm having a lucky day.
[Observer]: Then I'll do a ten-pull too.
Gu Chuan's casual remark instantly silenced the chat group once again.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to this earth-shattering news.
【Alicia】: Oh wow~ Is Mr. Observer going to personally take part in this too? I'm really looking forward to it~ I wonder what kind of "surprise" you'll come up with to "reward" us lovely girls?
[Gem Magician]: Hmph! Alicia, stop spouting nonsense! Observer, draw your weapon! Let me see if you're truly a lucky one!
[March 7th]: Everyone stand up! Watch the big boss's lucky draw! Sunflower seeds, peanuts, and bottled water for sale in the front row!
Gu Chuan looked at the group of girls who had instantly transformed into "spectators" in the group chat and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
He closed the chat group interface and focused his attention on the incredibly gorgeous virtual roulette wheel that slowly appeared before him, composed of starlight and runes.
"Alright, let's begin."
79 Gu Chuan's lucky draw!
Gu Chuan looked at the magnificent roulette wheel made of starlight and runes that was slowly rotating in front of him, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly chose the most extravagant and bloodline-testing option—the [Intermediate Ten-Draw]!
“Buzz——!!!”
The entire virtual roulette wheel seemed to be infused with the energy of the entire universe, bursting forth in an instant with a dazzling brilliance more radiant than the sun, too dazzling to be seen with the naked eye! The spectacular animation effects were like a reversed galaxy, with countless phantom images of classic symbols and legendary items from the world of anime flashing by in the light. Finally, ten golden beams of light, condensed to the point of being almost tangible and shimmering with different levels of radiance, shot out from the roulette wheel and hovered in front of Gu Chuan!
The whole process was filled with the exhilarating feeling of "unboxing," making my heart race.
[Ding! Congratulations, Observer! You have used 10x [Gift of Fate]!]
A series of system notifications began to refresh rapidly in his field of vision like a waterfall!
Gu Chuan didn't even bother to check them one by one. He just casually took a screenshot and, like a child showing off his new toy to his friends, immediately sent this "explosive" screenshot to the chat group of the [Cross-Dimensional Movie Club].
After doing all this, he could finally relax and begin to examine his spoils.
[Ding! Congratulations, Observer! You have obtained an S-rank item—[Senzu Bean x3]! These miracle beans from the Dragon Ball world can instantly restore all your stamina and injuries. As long as you're not completely dead, they'll revive you with full health!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Observer! You have obtained [Item A] – [Food Wars! God-Tier Cooking Set]! Includes a complete set of legendary cooking utensils (replica) and God Tongue trial cards (x3). Consuming this set will greatly enhance the user's five senses, reaction speed, and cell activity for a short period. It has a special effect on gourmet girls!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Observer! You have obtained the [SS-level Ability]—[Vector Manipulation (L5)]! The strongest superpower from Academy City, you can arbitrarily control the direction of all energy "vectors," including kinetic, thermal, and electrical energy! An invincible "reflective" barrier can be constructed wherever your skin touches it! This is an absolute cheat code on the level of physics!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Observer! You have obtained the [SS-rank weapon]—[Zangetsu Complete Bankai Form]! A legendary Zanpakuto from Soul Society. By obtaining this sword, you will simultaneously possess the triple power of a Shinigami, a Hollow, and a Quincy, unleashing incredibly powerful strikes, terrifying spiritual pressure, and the protection of "Uncle Zangetsu" and "White Ichigo"!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Observer! You have obtained the [SSS-Rank Physique]—[Artoria Pendragon's Knight King Physique]! You have acquired the exact same physique as that legendary Knight King of Britain! Born with dragon genes, possessing a magical core, and having an S-rank affinity for all magic and swordsmanship! Lifespan, physical resistance, magical resistance, and regeneration have all been comprehensively enhanced! This is the ultimate template for becoming the strongest knight!]
In addition, there are three secondary rewards such as [Limited Skin Pack (can be specified for a member)], [Gensokyo Pass (one-time use)], and [Universal Recharge Card (100 million yuan)]. Gu Chuan only glanced at them and then decided with a self-deprecating smile that there was no need to send these "little things" out to provoke them.
……
In the chat group.
After Gu Chuan announced the lottery, everyone held their breath, waiting for the lucky winner to perform.
When that screenshot, shimmering with seven-colored light and described as a "miracle," appeared on the public chat—
At first, the atmosphere in the group was normal.
[March 7th]: Senzu Bean! Wow! It's a Senzu Bean from Dragon Ball! The one that can fully revive you with just one! With this, we won't be afraid of getting hurt on missions anymore! Brother Chuan is awesome!
[Little Cat Burglar]: (Eyes turn into the Beli symbol) A god-tier cooking set! Eating it will make you stronger?! If we sold this... no, if Sanji could learn this, wouldn't our fighting power skyrocket?!
The girls' discussion remained at the level of "excitement" and "practicality".
However, as their gaze continued down the screenshot and they saw [Vector Manipulation] and [Moon Slash], the chat in the group began to quiet down, and the air gradually thickened.
And when they finally saw the [SSS-level Knight King Physique] that radiated supreme power and shimmered with dazzling golden light—
The entire chat group fell into a deathly silence that lasted for a full minute.
At this moment, everyone's brain completely shut down due to the incomprehensible and extreme shock.
The first to break the silence was Rin Tohsaka. But what she sent wasn't text, but a series of unintelligible gibberish characters, as if the keyboard had been smashed.
【The Gem Magician】: asdfghjk1!! This, this is impossible!!! Absolutely impossible!!!
[Jewel Magician]: Knight, King of Knights physique?! Artoria's... physique?! SSS rank?! He, he directly drew a living "humanoid Holy Grail"?! Are you kidding me?!
Rin completely lost her composure. She knew better than anyone what this "Knight King Physique" meant! It wasn't just powerful combat ability, nor was it just S-rank magic affinity; it was a terrifying existence, like a perpetual motion machine, with its own "magical core"! Possessing this physique meant possessing unlimited growth potential, the ultimate "container" that every magician dreamed of!
[Alicia]: ...Heh, I think I'm finding it hard to laugh anymore. Vector manipulation...Knight King physique...Mr. Observer, are you trying to turn yourself into a real "monster"?
[Butterfly Dance]: (Stunned) ...If I combine this constitution with my pharmacology...perhaps, I really can create...a miracle that transcends life and death...
[Ice Queen]: ...Very good. Gu Chuan, you have not disappointed me.
The girls fell completely silent. The joy they felt from drawing S-rank and A-rank items was utterly crushed by Gu Chuan's absurdly incredible draw, which was practically a "system bug."
This is no longer a matter of good or bad luck.
This is an insurmountable dimensional gap between the "chosen ones" and the "ordinary players"!
Some have thought even deeper. If the [Knight King Physique] is this terrifying, what about the other four legendary kingly physiques that coexist with it? If one were to collect all five physiques, could one truly awaken the ultimate realm that exists only in mythology, exclusively for kings—the [King's Domain]?!
Upon realizing this, everyone's gaze towards Gu Chuan changed.
It was the kind of gaze one gives when looking up at the true "protagonist."
Gu Chuan, at the center of the event, calmly looked at the rewards, already starting to make plans in his mind.
Vector manipulation and the Moon Slash technique can greatly enhance one's direct combat capabilities. And this Knight King physique... might also cause one's strength to surge.
As for that "Food Wars!" God-level Cooking Set, we could find an opportunity to go to that world and have some "interaction" with those interesting genius female chefs, while also improving the team's logistical support capabilities.
And this [Gensokyo Pass]...
A slight glint appeared in Gu Chuan's eyes.
80 is unreasonable!
Gu Chuan's screenshot of a "miracle" ten consecutive draws was like a nuclear bomb that detonated the laws of nature, stirring up an unprecedented and sour wave in the chat group of the [Cross-Dimensional Movie Club].
[Gem Magician]: (One minute later) ...I just checked my eyes with magic, and there's nothing wrong. So, the problem lies with you! Observer, you're definitely the system's favorite child, aren't you?! No! You are the system itself, aren't you?! This lottery result completely violates the law of conservation of energy!
[March 7th]: (whispering) ...Um...Brother Chuan, what's vector manipulation? It sounds really amazing...And that Knight King Physique, SSS-rank...I've never even seen it before...
[Alicia]: Heh, March 7th. Simply put, with vector manipulation, Mr. Observer essentially possesses the absolute right to refuse the "Law of Physics 077". And that Knight King physique grants him near-limitless magic power and growth potential. Combined, it's... a walking, unsolvable... natural disaster in human skin.
Alicia's explanation made the already sour atmosphere in the group even more somber.
Faced with the avalanche of complaints, rants, and verbal attacks from his group members, Gu Chuan simply took a leisurely sip of his cola and slowly typed out a line of text.
[Observer]: Everyone, calm down, this is actually quite reasonable.
[Gem Magician]: Reasonable?! How is this reasonable?! Explain yourself!
[Observer]: Because I am the "observer." My power is inherently to observe, analyze, and edit all things in the world. When I draw a prize, my existence resonates with the higher-dimensional "concepts" in the prize pool. Therefore, drawing these things can only be described as... a normal phenomenon within the realm of probability.
This understated "science popularization," full of Versailles flair, not only failed to quell public anger but instead exploded like a spoonful of ice water poured into a boiling oil pan!
