Claire's house.
Cipher looked at Claire, who was completely silent and unlike her usual self, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
According to what Claire had said in the warehouse earlier, a senior who had been missing for ten years suddenly appeared before her, and in a hostile state no less.
If it were her, she wouldn't feel good either...
Having never experienced such a thing, Cipher felt that any words of comfort might easily backfire, so she decided to let Claire be alone for a while.
Cipher sighed, then turned and walked towards her bedroom.
Perfect, she could also take this opportunity to research the system's updated features.
Upon entering the bedroom, Cipher lay down on the bed and silently thought, "Gacha."
[Currently, you have: 960 stellar jade (1 stellar jade can be exchanged for 1000 credit points; current credit points: 2,304,523). Would you like to draw?]
Huh? Over two million three hundred thousand credit points, where did they come from?
Looking at the number, Cipher was a bit bewildered. She remembered only having two hundred ninety thousand, so how did it become over two million three hundred thousand now?
With this question in mind, Cipher took out her terminal and checked her transaction history.
Soon, she saw a transfer record of over three million, and the person who transferred it was Claire.
'Hiss, Claire couldn't have transferred all her assets to me, could she?'
Looking at the exact transfer amount, Cipher felt her guess was correct.
"So, were those two sold, or were they snatched away?"
Cipher scratched her head, a bit confused.
She looked towards the door, considering whether to ask Claire about it.
But recalling Claire's silent demeanor just now, she ultimately decided not to disturb her yet.
"Wait a minute..."
Suddenly, Cipher noticed a crucial detail.
"Since Claire transferred over three million to me... then why is there only over two million three hundred thousand left in the account now? How did nearly one million of my credit points disappear?"
The decrease in credit points made Cipher suddenly realize something, and she continued to scroll through the transaction history, but she couldn't find any large deduction records, as if the deduction never existed.
"Oh, right! The system's new function, how could I forget about that?"
After searching around and finding nothing, Cipher suddenly remembered the list of functions that the system had just finished updating after she killed Jin.
At that time, in order to regain powerful combat strength, she had used this function to conduct an experiment, acquiring the Death Curse from Castorice.
Then, a prompt for a one-million deduction appeared, but at the time, she was anxious to go check on Claire, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
"One million, huh... I emptied the personal accounts of three people and still couldn't earn that much money."
Thinking of this, Cipher immediately showed an expression of heartache and pain.
The heartache was for the loss of one million.
The pain was because she remembered something.
Although she had gained Castorice's ability through this function, those people had sensed danger beforehand and ran away.
The ability couldn't be used, which meant one million was wasted for nothing!
One million, how many people's personal accounts would she have to clear to achieve that...
The cat was depressed!
Damn Reverse Current Alliance, this cat will earn back the money I lost here, sooner or later!
Cipher thought fiercely to herself.
After recovering from the sadness of her loss for a while, Cipher looked at the system's gacha interface.
She was currently only four draws short of a ten-pull, which meant six hundred forty thousand credit points.
So... why not just use six hundred forty thousand credit points to complete a ten-pull? Just consider it testing the new function!
Thinking of this, Cipher immediately whispered:
"System, ten-pull!"
[stellar jade insufficient. Would you like to exchange 640,000 credit points for 640 stellar jade?]
"Exchange!"
[1600 stellar jade consumed. Drawing now...]
It was still the familiar purple glow, no early pulls.
[Congratulations, you have received: Bagged Dried Fish x5, Soletta x1, Choco-Bar Snacks x3, splitting silver coin x1]
"splitting silver coin? Choco-Bar Snacks?"
Looking at the two new items, Cipher curiously clicked on them.
Although in the game, one was used to restore skill points, and the other was a Curio that could directly double the current Cosmic Fragments.
But this wasn't the game, after all, and she didn't know if these items had been modified.
[Choco-Bar Snacks (Blue)]
[A packet of cooked seeds inspired by the cyclone principle. When consumed, the seeds will pop and bounce to the roof of your mouth like Pop Rocks (recommended to eat while lying down)]
[Effect: No particular effect, just a snack]
"Hmm... so it seems most blue items are useless. Let's look at the splitting silver coin."
[splitting silver coin (Purple)]
[A Curio from the the game, with Slight modification]
[Effect: Immediately gain an additional 50% credit points equivalent to the credit points stored in Quantum Storage]
"That's indeed much better." Cipher nodded, Satisfied with the effect."
One is an item that can be controlled whether to use or not, while the other is an item that automatically activates upon acquisition, and you don't even know when you'll get it.
And the effects of both are exactly the same.
One could say, any normal person would choose the former, right?
"But... 50% of the credit points equivalent to what's in Quantum Storage... What happen if i use it on 0 number?"
"Never mind, i don't have the luxury to think about it right now, maybe in the future."
Thinking of this, Cipher quickly transferred most of her credit points back to Quantum Storage.
After finishing this task, and counting that there were no other matters to deal with for the time being, Cipher stretched, then lay on the bed 𖨆, closing her eyes.
"This cat will take revenge, meow."
Murmuring to herself, her body honestly turned over, and Cipher gradually fell into a state of slumber...
