Carl stood beside Mio just like that, watching her press the ten-pull button with no joy or sorrow on his face.
Over these three days, Carl had found quite a few map-clearers and hoarder players like Mio.
With the help of videos like [Oath Treasure Chest Full Collection Guide], most of them had also finished grinding all the resources on the Version 1.0 map around this ti and entered the gacha phase.
So Carl had not placed all his chips on Mio alone.
The current situation was that if Mio successfully got the character within these eighty pulls and drew the wife she dread of, the five-star limited character Hasumi, then Mio would surely live a happy ga life from now on. No, a happy Oath life.
"Oath life" was short for life as an Oath player.
But if she did not get the character, she would experience the kind of despair that made life feel over.
So which side are you on? Lucky god? Unlucky soul? Or... an ordinary person?
With that question in mind, Carl locked his gaze tightly onto the gacha animation displayed on Mio's gacha interface.
Oath's gacha animation began the instant the player pressed ten-pull.
Countless contract books appeared before the player, and the effect was extrely dazzling. Then, as several streaks of light crossed the sky, the player could roughly judge whether they had gotten anything good through those lights.
When Mio pressed her first ten-pull, of course she was filled with expectation that she would get the character on the very first ten-pull.
Even as she pressed the ten-pull button, Mio was already imagining what she would do after getting the character on the first ten-pull.
Should she save all the Contract Stone resources she had left for later limited characters, or use them to pull Hasumi's signature weapon or Hasumi's Contract Souls?
Ah! What a dilemma!
Unfortunately, Mio's beautiful wishful thinking was shattered by the first ten-pull, which only produced one silver light representing the guaranteed four-star character.
First ten-pull, one four-star character, five three-star characters, and four three-star weapons.
"It's fine, it's fine. It's only the first ten-pull. It's normal not to get anything!"
After briefly comforting herself, Mio raised her hand again and pressed the second ten-pull without hesitation.
"Wife Hasumi! Co to my side!"
After Mio added this incomprehensible spell, the ten beams of light from the second ten-pull flashed past.
Unfortunately, the second ten-pull still only had one guaranteed four-star character.
"It's fine. I still have sixty pulls! Third ten-pull! Co out!"
Mio did not even look at who the four-star character she pulled was.
After the information appeared on the gacha interface, she directly pressed the "skip" button, then pressed the third ten-pull without even thinking.
What the heck, so the unskippable chanic isn't actually part of this ga's underlying code?
Oath's official team, so you do know how to make a skip function?
It was just that this skip function had been stuffed into the gacha pool so players could pull faster.
After this strange thought surfaced in Carl's mind, he continued watching Mio's expression, which still seed sowhat relaxed.
By the third ten-pull, Mio was still fantasizing about getting the character early, then living a happy life with Wife Hasumi while still having a comfortable reserve of Contract Stones.
Unfortunately, the third ten-pull was still a four-star guarantee with nothing else.
"Phew, it's fine! Again! Co out!"
Mio did not hesitate at all and clicked the fourth ten-pull again.
Regrettably, by the fortieth pull, the knight princess Hasumi in the gacha pool still had not answered her. Once again, only a guaranteed four-star character ca over to fill the numbers.
"Do I really have to reach pity? Fifth ten-pull! Please! Co out early!"
When Mio pressed the button for the fiftieth pull, her originally calm mindset had already begun to show a trace of anxiety.
An ominous feeling lingered in her heart.
And soon, the fiftieth pull still had nothing.
At this mont, Mio finally faintly began to panic. She looked up at the number of Contract Stones she had left.
Counting the limited ten-pull ticket given at launch, Mio's original ten thousand-plus Contract Stones had now dropped to fewer than five thousand.
"It's fine... pity is fine too! As long as I get her!"
Mio no longer held any comfortable fantasies about saving a large amount of Contract Stones for the next version, or pulling Hasumi's signature weapon and Contract Souls.
At this mont, Mio only had one thought in her heart. Pity was fine, as long as she did not go off-rate.
"Sixth ten-pull!"
Mio pressed the ten-pull button with the montum of gambling everything.
Unfortunately, the knight princess Hasumi in the gacha pool still did not answer her. This ten-pull was still ordinary, with only one guaranteed four-star character.
"Ah, damn it! Do I really have to hit pity before I get anything?"
All the previous satisfaction and calmness had already vanished from Mio's face.
At this mont, the only expression on her face was tension.
Mio's heart was filled with a tension like soone waiting outside the delivery room and learning that his wife was having a difficult labor.
"Seventh ten-pull! Please! Co out!"
Mio pressed the ten-pull button with a death-or-glory resolve.
After a flash of light, it was still... nothing.
"Is it pity? But it's fine. I still have the final guaranteed ten-pull. As long as it doesn't go off-rate, everything is fine."
Mio used these words to soothe the ominous emotions gradually rising in her heart.
"The final pull is guaranteed to produce a five-star character, so please don't go off-rate! Please don't go off-rate! Please don't go off-rate!"
Mio's finger pressed against the ten-pull button as she kept repeating the four words "please don't go off-rate" like a spell.
Was she praying? But would it really work? Carl looked at this player lady, who had finally reached a fork in the road of her life.
There was a fifty percent chance she would live a happy Oath life, and a fifty percent chance she would fall into endless despair.
Carl had finally reached the mont of witnessing it.
Co on!
Mio swallowed hard, and her fingertip finally pressed the last guaranteed ten-pull.
"Co out! Co out! Co out! Please, co out! Wife Hasumi, co to my side!"
Since this was the pity pull that was guaranteed to produce a five-star character, among the ten beams of light that shot into the sky, one was a rainbow beam representing a five-star character.
Mio did not even dare to skip the result this ti. She confird the characters she had obtained by clicking through them one by one.
The first was a three-star character.
The second was a three-star character.
The third was a four-star character.
The fourth was a three-star weapon.
The fifth...
When Mio clicked on the fifth character, a rainbow light flashed, and then the icon hinting at this character's role appeared before her.
This icon showed a longsword being swung.
This was the icon representing the Annihilation role in Oath.
And the first limited five-star character in Oath, Radiant Dawn Hasumi, was also a five-star limited Annihilation character.
"YES! YES! Although it was pity, I finally got her! Hahahahaha!"
"Wife Hasumi acquired!"
The instant Mio saw the Annihilation icon appear, she excitedly clenched her fists and swung both hands hard, shouting out loud.
At that mont, Mio felt like she was the happiest person in the world.
Unfortunately, in the very next second, the character who stepped out of the gacha pool spoke in a slightly cold voice, instantly wiping out Mio's excitent.
"Your Excellency Savior, I shall beco your sharpest blade and sweep away all obstacles for you!"
Hasumi.
This voice... sounded wrong! Why was it a man's voice?
It was completely different from Hasumi's refreshing and beautiful voice.
Mio's hands, which had been raised high above her head, had not even had ti to lower.
Her head turned toward the gacha pool like a rusted clockwork doll, creaking bit by bit.
After the five-star Annihilation icon appeared, the one who stepped out of the gacha pool was not that dashing and beautiful knight princess.
Instead, it was an extrely serious-looking, heavily armored macho man.
"Who the hell are yooouuuuu?!"
Mio's sowhat broken shout was so loud that it even hurt Carl's ears a little.
(To be continued.)
Hahahaha, this cracked up so hard. Pulling an off-rate is always so sad. I still got an off-rate this evening while rolling in Nikke. 😔
Anyway, if you're enjoying this, don't forget to add it to your library, drop so power stones to support, and finally, leave a review while you're at it for bonus chapters. Do this and you'll be blessed for your next gacha pulls, hahaha.
