Chapter 198 The Wrath of the Unlucky One

"You, you, you! All of you, stop talking!"

Lin Xiyue shouted out, her face full of embarrassment and anger.

She was too embarrassed to listen anymore. Suddenly, she remembered that she had only looked at one card in a ten-pull, and hadn't looked at the remaining nine. So she hurriedly opened her inventory.

Upon opening the warehouse, Lin Xiyue's gaze was immediately drawn to the nine mysterious cards lying quietly inside.

Like twinkling stars in the night sky, they emit strange, multicolored light, some deep, some shallow. These lights intertwine to form a dreamlike scene, as if telling people about the endless secrets hidden within.

Lin Xiyue slowly reached out and placed her hand in front of the pile of cards.

Her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and anticipation, as if she hoped that among the remaining nine cards, there would be an SSR card like the first one, bringing her a surprise.

After careful consideration, she finally selected the card with the dimmest light. This card was the most likely to produce a life card because it was the dimmest.

The moment Lin Xiyue chose it, a faint, almost imperceptible white light flashed by, and then the card, as if drawn by some mysterious force, gracefully flipped over.

Lin Xiyue held the card in her hand with great hope, afraid that she might damage it at any moment.

She leaned closer to examine it closely and saw that the card had a crystal-clear bubble shape on its surface, like a pearl that had just emerged from the deep sea, radiating a captivating luster.

This must be a great card!!! (*^▽^*)

Lin Xiyue looked at the beautiful card and thought to herself before she could even see it clearly.

As she examined the card more closely, she noticed four inconspicuous words and a cute emoticon written in small, delicate characters on the bubble: "Thank you for your patronage (^_?)☆".

The emoji looked like a mischievous little elf, winking and smiling at Lin Xiyue, but the text in front of it was less appealing.

??? !!! !!! !!! !!!

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

(?Д?)ノ

"No, what is this?! Huh? System, come out here!!!"

Looking at the words on the card, Lin Xiyue's eyes widened, staring intently at the text on the card.

Her heart was first filled with confusion, then turned into anger. Her face flushed red, her breathing became rapid, and she shouted in the system channel, calling for the system to come out.

If the system weren't incorporeal, she might have already rushed up and grabbed it by the neck, letting it experience what the rage of an unlucky person truly meant.

[(⊙o⊙)…Um…well…]

The system, which had been furious just moments before, was summoned by Lin Xiyue. Now it was meek and submissive, looking like a wronged little wife, showing no trace of its previous anger and desire to curse.

"Tell me what happened? You updated it and then reversed the update? This is the first time I've ever seen a system that reverse-updates. I'm going to write a complaint letter. [○?｀Д′? ○]"

Lin Xiyue noticed the system meekly reappearing, and remembering how it had helped her before, she calmed down a bit. However, this didn't stop her from threatening the system.

[Well... well, our main system observed the latest gacha system used by humans, and it found that your human gacha system is still better. So it added better items to each of our systems, but, well, it added a "thank you for your patronage" option. The main system, it said, observed that you humans will work even harder to draw cards like this.]

The system spoke slowly and haltingly, as if it were crying.

"Hmm, but these kinds of reforms by humans always come with subsidies. If you don't offer subsidies, I'll report you for deceiving consumers! (「▼皿▼)"

Lin Xiyue took a breath, knowing that her little system couldn't change anything now, so she could only start asking about the belated benefits.

What's that saying again? If you give me a little benefit, I'll forgive you immediately; if you give me more benefits, I can defend you; if you give me enough benefits, I can even help you criticize your rivals.

No matter what, the facts can't be changed, so we must make sure we get the benefits.

[(⊙o⊙)…Um, the bonus was a free 10-pull, but it won't arrive for another two days. Please don't report me. QAQ]

"You?! You didn't secretly withhold my compensation, did you? Huh?"

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath.

[No, no! How could I dare! Look, this is a letter from the main system, it's real!!]

The system kept explaining, it felt like it was about to swear an oath.

"...Okay. I'll share some with you when the compensation comes through."

Lin Xiyue glanced at the message the main system sent to the system and believed it.

[Hehehe, great! \(^o^)/~ Do you want to buy a living card?]

The system cheered happily.

"purchase!"

Lin Xiyue decisively bought a life card and conjured a high-powered anti-wolf baton, intending to use it to stun those people.

Although they seemed to have been discussing for a long time, it was actually a communication between consciousnesses, so less than five minutes had passed.

Lin Xiyue picked up the stun baton and used it to shock a mutated person who was curled up on the ground and struggling in pain next to her, knocking him unconscious and stopping his suffering. Then, without looking back, she walked towards the next person.

And so, everyone she passed by was knocked unconscious by her electric shock.

Strangely, even though the followers saw her brazenly disrupting their rituals, they did not step forward to stop her, as if they could not see what she was doing.

Why didn't they come to stop me?

Lin Xiyue was a little curious, so she asked Moros, who was protecting her on her shoulder and casting a protective shield on her.

"Meow~"

“Look closely at this edge; there’s a black line there, and that line is preventing them from coming in.”

Melos gestured for Lin Xiyue to look towards the edge.

She turned her head slightly, her gaze quickly falling on the feet of the man in the black robe.

Sure enough, there was a jet-black line stretching across the ground, like an invisible warning line, separating the two sides into two completely different worlds.

The people in black robes stood silently, none of them daring to cross the black line even half a step.

Although they watched helplessly as Lin Xiyue made such a bold move, they could only stand there, their hands clenched into fists, trembling with extreme anger and fear.

Even something as simple as shouting to stop Lin Xiyue seemed like an impossible dream for these men in black robes.

They seemed frozen in place, their mouths tightly shut, emitting faint whimpers, yet unable to muster the courage to shout. The whole scene was eerily strange and oppressive, sending a chill down one's spine.
