Now that his wallet was suddenly full, Cao Ye's first reaction was gacha.
As a seasoned gambler, holding onto currency without spending it felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Huh?"
When he eagerly opened the gacha interface, he was surprised to find that the panel—which had never changed before—had finally updated.
To be precise, two new options had appeared.
What used to be two choices had now become four.
10 Diamonds (Single Pull)
100 Diamonds (Ten Pull)
100 Diamonds (Advanced Single Pull)
1000 Diamonds (Advanced Ten Pull)
"Advanced Ten Pull… wow. Even with a higher tier of gacha, there's still no pity system."
Cao Ye felt speechless.
At the very least, ten pulls should guarantee something good, right?
He had done countless ten-pulls before and ended up with nothing but piles of black stockings.
Still, the Advanced Ten Pull was incredibly tempting.
Higher tier draws likely meant a higher probability of obtaining powerful items.
It reminded him of Onmyoji.
With cheap summoning tickets, you could only get low-tier shikigami, but premium tickets could summon SSR or SP characters.
"Alright… sacrifice time."
He folded his hands dramatically.
"I sacrifice Ottar's lifelong romantic luck in exchange for good pulls!"
Originally he had planned to sacrifice Freya's lifespan instead—but after what happened between them last night, that felt a bit too cruel.
So Ottar became the unlucky offering.
After all, Ottar would never escape Freya's control anyway.
Romantic luck meant nothing for him.
The familiar animation began.
The familiar card packs appeared.
The familiar reveal screen opened.
Cao Ye sighed.
"This is supposed to be an advanced gacha… couldn't they at least upgrade the animation?"
D+ Rank Noble Phantasms ×10
The first card flipped.
A golden weapon appeared.
Ten D+ rank Noble Phantasms.
Not terrible, but not amazing either.
In the Fate system, Noble Phantasms are ranked:
E → D → C → B → A → EX
A "+" indicates temporary burst power.
For example:
A = 100 powerA+ = 200 powerA++ = 300 power
So D+ meant the weapon could unleash double its normal output temporarily.
Even though these were only D+ rank, Noble Phantasms were not ordinary weapons.
Cao Ye could summon them at will.
The next two cards revealed the same result.
D+ Noble Phantasms ×10
But Cao Ye wasn't angry.
One advanced pull cost 100 diamonds.
Meaning each D+ Noble Phantasm effectively cost about 10 diamonds.
That was the same price as the useless stockings.
Between stockings and a Noble Phantasm, the answer was obvious.
Then the next card flipped.
Noble Phantasm – Rule Breaker
A hit!
This was the dagger of Medea, the Witch of Betrayal.
Rule Breaker had almost no combat power.
However, its ability was terrifying:
Anything pierced by it would have all magical contracts and enchantments nullified.
This included:
Magic-enhanced objectsContracts formed by magicMagical lifeforms
Everything would revert to its state before magic was applied.
In the Holy Grail War, this ability was extremely powerful.
Cao Ye suddenly had a bold thought.
What if this dagger could affect the "Divine Blessing" on adventurers?
If it worked…
He would become the most dangerous person in Orario.
After all, the entire city's strength depended on the Falna (God's Blessing).
Without it, even the strongest adventurer would immediately fall from their pedestal.
The remaining cards revealed more D+ Noble Phantasms.
Until another card appeared.
Noble Phantasm – Gate of Babylon
Another jackpot.
This was the legendary treasure vault of Gilgamesh.
But after claiming it, Cao Ye realized something disappointing.
The Gate of Babylon he obtained was empty.
He only gained the treasury itself, not the treasures inside.
Still, it was an extremely powerful Noble Phantasm.
The final reward appeared.
Holy Grail
The Holy Grail radiated enormous magical energy like a crystallized mass of mana.
Cao Ye stared at it for a moment before casually storing it inside the Gate of Babylon.
Now he no longer needed to rely on his imaginary storage space.
In total, the advanced ten-pull produced:
70 D+ Noble PhantasmsRule BreakerGate of Babylon (empty)Holy Grail
Compared to his earlier pulls, the quality had improved significantly.
Advanced gacha really lived up to its name.
Even the worst reward was a D+ Noble Phantasm.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Ye suppressed his excitement.
With so many new abilities and weapons, he suddenly wanted to test his strength.
And in Orario, there was only one perfect opponent.
Monsters.
