As before, once the system completed its settlement, it rewarded Luya based on the day's business performance.
Today's total revenue had reached 342 million Mora.
Luya wanted to see what kind of rewards the system would grant him this time. He calmed himself and listened closely to the system's voice.
[Reward: The Exploitation of Works of Nature (Book)]
[Reward: Digital Mora Technology (Book)]
[Reward: Employee Dormitory]
[Reward: Voice-to-Projection Machine]
[Reward: +500 square meters of space]
Luya looked over the list of rewards and felt quite pleased. All of them were things he could actually make use of—especially the [Digital Mora Technology].
With this technology... the digital payment system he had long envisioned could finally exist in Teyvat! The thought filled Luya with joy. He immediately flipped open the [Digital Mora Technology] book.
After reading about three pages, he gave up—it was far too difficult! He couldn't make sense of a single line.
He tried flipping through [The Exploitation of Works of Nature] as well; however, the mechanical designs inside were just as complex. He couldn't understand that one either.
The contents of both books were beyond him, but Luya decided there was no need to learn them himself—as long as he could find someone who could. All he needed were the results.
The [Employee Dormitory] and [Voice-to-Projection Machine] were also things he could put to immediate use. The [Voice-to-Projection Machine] could convert spoken words into 3D projections. If this device were installed on Yun Jin's stage, she could transform her opera lyrics into vivid imagery—it would give the audience an extraordinary experience! And that, in turn, would bring Yun Jin more spectators and popularity.
Since Yun Jin had already signed a contract with Luya—half of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe's net income went to him daily—helping her was essentially helping his own shop earn more money.
Originally, Luya had planned to use the system-provided projection device to pre-produce visuals for Yun Jin's performances and have them projected during her shows. He hadn't expected the system to directly gift him something even better—a real-time voice-to-projection tool! That was far more convenient.
The system's settlement process was now complete. Next came the thing Luya had been waiting for most—upgrading the [Divine Hand] to Lv10!
Once he did that, there would be no place in Teyvat he couldn't reach.
Luya opened his skill panel:
[Divine Hand Lv7 (Upgradeable)]
╵Maximum simultaneous summons: 32
╵Maximum Monster Level: 7
╵Upgrade Cost: 64 million Mora
╵Available Mora: 742 million
Luya focused his mind and locked his consciousness onto the upgrade option for [Divine Hand]. "Upgrade!"
As 64 million Mora vanished, a golden light burst forth from Luya's left hand. The glow illuminated the entire shop. He felt a surge of even greater power building within him.
[Divine Hand Lv8 (Upgradeable)]
╵Maximum simultaneous summons: 64
╵Maximum Monster Level: 8
╵Upgrade Cost: 128 million Mora
╵Available Mora: 678 million
After successfully upgrading [Divine Hand Lv7] to Lv8, Luya didn't stop there. He chose to continue upgrading!
Once again, light flared and his left hand grew hot. The Mora vanished—and the skill upgrade succeeded!
[Divine Hand Lv9 (Upgradeable)]
╵Maximum simultaneous summons: 128
╵Maximum Monster Level: 9
╵Upgrade Cost: 256 million Mora
╵Available Mora: 550 million
After that upgrade, Luya immediately locked onto the next option. "Upgrade!!!"
Golden light surged endlessly from his left hand once more. This time, it was even brighter! Within it, countless mysterious patterns began to emerge—as if dazzling stars had gathered together, shining with radiant brilliance. Intricate runes interlaced within the light like a mystical tapestry woven from power and mystery.
This upgrade caused far greater commotion than before—this was the critical threshold: Lv10!
At this level, Luya could now materialize Spell Cards and Trap Cards from Yu-Gi-Oh!
[Divine Hand Lv10 (Not Upgradeable)]
╵Maximum simultaneous summons: 256
╵Maximum Monster Level: 10
╵Upgrade Cost: 1 billion Mora
╵Available Mora: 294 million
With [Divine Hand] now upgraded to Level 10, the required cost had skyrocketed to 1 billion Mora... It truly was a major threshold.
Feeling the immense power surging through his left hand, Luya was overwhelmed with excitement. He couldn't wait to test his new strength!
Now, Luya could manifest Spell Cards and Trap Cards. A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
What if... he used [Monster Reborn] to resurrect the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata? Wouldn't that mean he could have the Great Tree King assist him in developing [Network Information Technology] and [Digital Mora Technology]?
And with the Akasha System as a foundation—once Xianyun and Guizhong completed production of the [Portable Game Console]—wouldn't that mean the online version of Yu-Gi-Oh! would finally be born!?
