The Mora recharged into the account had already been converted into the corresponding number of pulls.
A full 75,000 pulls!
Before standing in front of the counter, Furina had been absolutely convinced she was blessed by the gacha gods, certain that her pulls would be nothing but joyous.
But now that she was actually standing there, a trace of nervousness crept into her heart.
What if her pulls turned out disastrous?
Human luck wasn't eternal. Even if someone's luck was consistently good, it wasn't a fixed value—there were always fluctuations. Even if those fluctuations were minuscule for certain individuals, Furina didn't think she was one of them.
But the words had already been spoken. Whether she'd end up proving herself or getting humiliated was no longer in her control.
You can brag all you want before pulling—the rest is up to luck!
But luck doesn't guarantee anything!
"Getting nervous now?"
Focalors teased, "Just a second ago, you were brimming with confidence. What happened in these few seconds?"
"Don't talk to her right now."
Lu Heng shook his head, speaking in the tone of a seasoned veteran.
"If you distract her now and she ends up getting bad pulls, she'll blame you for it."
"Tch!"
Damn it, how does he know me so well?!
Furina clenched her fists, glaring at Lu Heng.
"Don't slander me! I would never do that!"
Focalors smirked but said nothing.
Since Lu Heng had called it out, Furina definitely wouldn't do it now.
But if he hadn't said anything?
She absolutely would have.
"Should we do some gacha rituals now?" The Great Dendro Archon asked with a smile.
"Let me think…"
Furina rested her chin on her hands, her pretty face scrunched up in deep thought.
Then, a spark of inspiration hit her.
She did have a gacha ritual that had worked before!
"Haaah…"
She exhaled deeply, rubbing her palms together before standing up from her chair.
She began pacing in front of the counter, muttering under her breath like she was casting a spell.
Focalors leaned in slightly, her expression turning strange as she listened.
"I trade Neuvillette's fifty years of singledom for a 5-star pull!"
Neuvillette must have committed some great sin in a past life to know you.
"I trade Clorinde's assets for a 5-star pull!"
Clorinde must be cursed to be acquainted with you.
"I trade Focalors' ten years of luck for a 5-star pull!"
"Hold on!"
Focalors couldn't take it anymore, cutting her off mid-chant.
"Before you keep praying, let me ask you something."
"What? Now's not the time for random questions!" Furina pouted. "If I don't get anything good later, I'm blaming you!"
"You—!"
Focalors sighed, rubbing her temples.
"Stop distracting me!" Furina's expression turned deadly serious.
She resumed her ritual.
"Does this actually work?" the Great Dendro Archon whispered to Lu Heng.
"How do I put this… maybe, maybe not."
Gacha rituals were an enigma.
Some people swore by them, while others saw no effect at all.
In the end, it all came down to personal luck.
Before long, Furina had completed her ritual.
She took a deep breath, then tapped the 10,000-pull button with her fingertip.
The moment she pressed it, crystals shot through the clouds, their colors shifting midair—
Purple.
Dense purple.
A faint gold—
GOLD!
Furina's heart leaped into her throat.
The moment she saw that faint golden hue, she shrieked.
The Great Dendro Archon's eyes widened in surprise.
Lu Heng nearly dropped his teacup.
Focalors stood up abruptly, her expression grave.
*Did she really just get a 5-star on her first 10,000-pull?!*
So the ritual did work for her?!
Then what about all those things she chanted—
That "spell" she cast…
Focalors suddenly felt a strange drain on her energy, as if part of her vitality had been siphoned away.
Oh no.
Did Furina actually steal ten years of my luck?!
Even though logic told her it was impossible, the eerie feeling lingered.
Furina was now ecstatically examining her pull.
Though it was only a single 5-star gold card, she turned it over and over before finally handing it to Lu Heng.
"Hubby, help me check it!"
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, her lips curling into a smug smile.
Even though she could appraise 5-star cards herself now, she still preferred leaving it to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng chuckled, taking the card.
At a glance, it wasn't a material card—those didn't look like glowing rings.
He appraised it, and the information appeared:
[Angel's Halo]
[Tier: 5-Star (Gold)]
[Type: Skill Card]
[Traits: Gentle Power / Source of Strength]
[Description: A halo from an angelic race of another world. Beyond empowering angels, it has many other wondrous uses.]
Lu Heng had expected something else entirely.
Turns out, it was this thing.
After a brief pause, he said:
"Think of it like a… power bank."
The concept of a "power bank" wasn't foreign in this era.
Furina immediately understood, her excitement deflating slightly.
"Oh… so it's just a battery? I thought it was something amazing."
"You—" Focalors sighed. "Getting a 5-star is already lucky, and you're still picky?"
This "power bank" was nothing to scoff at—it extended combat stamina!
In battles where neither side could overpower the other, this card could tip the scales.
What if your stats are similar, but my energy pool is twice as long? How do you counter that?
Even if the enemy had a skill that drained all energy in one go, Furina could use it twice with this card equipped!
First try doesn't kill you?👍
Second try still doesn't kill you?👎
No matter how you looked at it—
With this "power bank," she had the advantage!
"Sounds decent, I guess."
It wasn't that Furina was ungrateful—she just rarely fought.
In the past, no one dared challenge her.
Now, as Lu Heng's woman, people didn't even dare raise their voices at her.
"I wish I could use this in that battlefield."
Furina muttered under her breath.
Focalors and the Great Dendro Archon exchanged glances, shaking their heads with wry smiles.
Lu Heng smirked at Furina's wishful thinking.
"You can try that in your dreams."
Furina rolled her eyes but didn't press further.
Instead, she tapped the 10,000-pull button again.
Nothing.
She tapped again.
Still nothing.
"Ah, that's more like it."
Focalors felt the ominous premonition fade away.
Afraid of sisters suffering, yet also afraid of sisters riding a Porsche!
Watching Furina's expression twist into agony, Focalors couldn't help but laugh—completely unapologetic.
Furina now wore a look of utter despair.
"Did the ritual expire? Can I not use it consecutively?"
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
So—
She began another ritual.
A minute later…
40,000th pull.
GOLDEN LIGHT!
Lu Heng, Focalors, and the Great Dendro Archon: "…?"
The three exchanged bewildered glances.
"Hubby, be honest."
Focalors leaned in, her voice laced with disbelief.
"Did you actually rig her pulls?"
"?"
That was practically accusing him of manipulating gacha rates!
Luck varied between people, but rigging the system was unforgivable—and rate manipulation was outright criminal!
Reading Lu Heng's expression, Focalors understood.
Which only deepened her confusion.
"Is Furina just insanely lucky, or do rituals actually work?"
That was the mystery—
Was it sheer luck, or had the ritual actually done something?
"What did I say?!"
"What did I tell you?!"
Furina was now overflowing with confidence.
Hands on her hips, chin raised—if tilting her head back further didn't hurt, she'd probably be looking down her nose at them.
The sheer smugness was overwhelming.
"I've said it a million times—no one understands gacha like I do! And especially no one understands gacha rituals like I do!"
Emboldened, she performed another ritual.
50,000th pull—nothing.
But she remained unshaken, waving it off.
"Pity-building. You guys get pity-building, right?"
If Tartaglia had been here, he'd have nodded in solemn understanding.
"How much pity are you planning to build?" Lu Heng asked, amused.
"Hard to say."
Furina shook her head.
This wasn't something to boast about—if she oversold it, she'd have no excuse if things went south.
She tapped the 60,000th pull.
Nothing.
Only 5,000 pulls remained.
First 1,000-pull—GOLDEN LIGHT!
"Ah, there we go!"
Furina didn't even bother checking the card, switching to a different ritual.
No chanting this time—just a series of hand gestures, like forming seals, tapping her body, and flicking her sleeves.
Once done, she tapped the next 1,000-pull with reverent focus.
GOLD.
"How is this fair?"
Focalors frowned.
She didn't want to see Furina suffer, but this was too lucky!
"I can't even judge anymore."
Lu Heng was just as baffled, turning to Furina.
"You switched to a second ritual, right?"
"Yep." Furina nodded.
"Damn!"
Lu Heng sucked in a breath.
"Do you have more?"
"Yep, three more rituals like this!"
Lu Heng was speechless.
From her expression, she genuinely believed in them.
Furina kept pulling.
"Pity-building."
"Still pity-building."
Before she knew it, she'd exhausted all her pulls—no more gold cards appeared.
But Furina remained utterly confident.
"I'm stockpiling luck for my next session. All those were just pity-builders, got it?"
Focalors stayed silent.
If she questioned Furina now, she feared the girl would just recharge and pull off another miracle.
This pull rate was unnatural.
It was like she could summon gold cards at will!
Out of 75,000 pulls, Furina had somehow snagged four 5-star gold cards!
Averaging one gold per 18,750 pulls!
Compared to her past records, this might seem slightly less impressive—
But by Teyvat's standards, it was earth-shattering.
Who the hell gets pulls like this?!
Focalors was so envious she started googling gacha rituals on her phone.
Furina was beyond pleased with herself.
After appraising her 4-star purple cards, she handed the remaining three gold cards to Lu Heng.
"Hehe~"
"Shocked, aren't you?"
"You're this good." Lu Heng gave her a thumbs-up.
"Damn right~"
Having basked in her victory, Furina passed him the cards with a grin.
