SWNOVELXO Chapter 30: Chapter 29 - Unhinged
However, the anticipated betting on pull counts did not appear in the bullet chat. Instead, a wave of comments in a very different color began to scroll by.
[Evil! Such great evil!]
[Streamer, watch yourself, hey!]
[Shut up! We bros aren't done watching yet!]
[I think... apologies, a bit busy.]
[That's gotta be at least a D, right? (sweating)]
Noticing she was perhaps a bit too exposed, Shi Luoluo bu shi Luoluo quickly ducked out of the camera's view. Although she had achieved the intended effect, it wouldn't be good if she took it too far and attracted the attention of the moderators.
Putting on a jacket she had prepared earlier, Luoluo reappeared on camera.
"Ahem, ahem, we had a teensy-weensy accident just now~ Let's continue with the pulls!"
Opening the top-up page, she sent a 648 RMB payment through. The unhinged player hadn't used their first-time purchase bonus yet, so this 648 would yield 81 pulls. Combined with what the account owner had saved and exchanged, getting one Seele should be no problem.
"Alright! Let's pull!"
One ten-pull. Nothing.
Two ten-pulls, three, four, five!
Still no golden light. Luoluo was already used to it. This was just how miHoYo's rates were. She herself had hit pity countless times and was completely unfazed by such occurrences.
"One more!"
Seeing the purple light behind Pom-Pom's back, Luoluo was about to disappointedly hit 'skip' and continue pulling, but then, a Light Cone she had never seen before appeared on her screen.
"Eh? Was this Light Cone here before?"
Luoluo was puzzled and clicked on the Light Cone.
[A Healer's Self-Discipline]
Path: Abundance
Rarity: Four-Star
Skill: Increases the wearer's Outgoing Healing by [5/9/13/17/21]%. When an ally receives healing, restores 5 Energy for the wearer. This effect can only be triggered three times per battle.
Description: "Wende... you must remember, to become a qualified healer, you must first have a strong physique... This old man... I might have to go on ahead..."
Light Cone Art:
Wende, draped in a white lab coat, wore a resolute expression. The sunlight behind him streamed through the coat, making his powerful upper body faintly visible. The lightning needle in his hand pulsed with the power of "Abundance."
"Gulp..."
Staring at the "perfect" image on the Light Cone, Shi Luoluo bu shi Luoluo couldn't help but swallow.
[Gulp...]
[Crap, I'm drooling.]
[Crap... I'm coming...]
[Ah! I'll lick lick lick lick! I'll go straight for the hug!]
[HOLY! HOLY SHIT! HOLY HOLY HOLY! I'M GOING FUCKING CRAZY!]
[Scared.jpg]
[Hehehehe, you think you can escape my grasp, Wende! Logging on! I'm pulling straight for the Light Cone! Who the hell is Seele? Never heard of her!]
[Sorry, I fainted just now. Did the streamer get Seele yet?]
On screen, Shi Luoluo bu shi Luoluo's face was flushed red. She instantly waved her mouse to close the Light Cone interface, then, as if in a great hurry, frantically burned through the pulls on the rate-up banner for the unhinged fan.
Whether it was due to this frantic energy or something else, she actually managed to pull Seele on the 70th pull. Although it was only ten away from soft pity, not losing the 50/50 was a win.
According to the original plan, Luoluo was supposed to continue pulling on the Light Cone banner for the "lucky winner," since he still had plenty of tickets.
But Shi Luoluo bu shi Luoluo did not do that. Instead, with her face still crimson, she logged out of the fan's account at light speed, logged into her own, and frantically spent over a dozen 648s.
"Hehehehe... Wende! My Wende! Let me die on your abs! AHHHHHHH!!!"
The gentle big sister from before had instantly blackened, transforming into a yandere. She took her vast capital and plunged it headfirst into Seele's rate-up banner.
[Crap, the streamer's gone insane.]
[Thanks for the info, just came from another streamer's channel. It's pretty much the same everywhere.]
[I think... people shouldn't, at least they shouldn't...]
[How did you know I got Seele and Wende's Light Cone in one ten-pull?]
[Who asked you?]
[Seele: Look at me! Look at me! I'm the one on rate-up!]
In the end, the famous streamer, at the cost of 30,000 RMB, obtained a maxed-out Superimposition 5 Wende Light Cone, along with a bonus C6 Seele with her own S5 Light Cone.
Unexpectedly, in the process, she even pulled two extra copies of Wende, bringing her own Wende to C6 as well.
After all the pulling was done, Shi Luoluo bu shi Luoluo collapsed into her gaming chair, her eyes vacant as she stared at her max-constellation Wende and his max-superimposition Light Cone.
What was I just doing? What was I trying to do? Why are people alive? What is the meaning of my existence?
[Crap, Luoluo seems to have entered Sage Mode!]
[I think we should go to the docks and get some fries.]
[You're not afraid the fries will eat you?]
[Sigh, bros, I'm suddenly a bit tired. Going to bed.]
[You're done blowing your load, huh?]
[Thanks for the release.]
Still in the middle of her existential crisis, Shi Luoluo bu shi Luoluo seemed to notice the comments scrolling across her screen. She got up, offered a quiet apology to the stream, and then shut it down.
"Sigh... so tired."
Shi Luoluo bu shi Luoluo took off her jacket, her face etched with exhaustion.
Slipping off her pink slippers, she padded barefoot across the fluffy carpet and dove headfirst into the warm, soft bed next to her computer desk. She hugged the life-sized Wende body pillow that had just arrived today and slowly closed her eyes.
Soon, the sound of even breathing filled the room, along with sleepy murmurs of Wende's name...
Meanwhile, on another stream.
Kakaya, a fellow streamer, was currently being interrogated by his viewers for making an indescribable sound while observing Wende's Light Cone art.
[Talk! Are you a bottom!]
[Talk! Are you gay!]
[Talk! You're a pig!]
"I was wrong, I confess! I was just envious of his strong muscles! That's normal, right?!"
Kakaya tried to stubbornly argue his case, but the bullet chat, as if it had a lethal tempo, only increased the speed of its assault.
[Really? I don't believe you.]
[Just admit it. Falling for Wende is no loss.]
[What! Finishing ON Wende's body! Ah!]
[Wende: You degenerate son! You degenerate!]
"Insolence! That's our Daddy! How could we do something so outrageously disrespectful!" Kakaya declared with righteous indignation, refusing to admit defeat.
[Exactly, exactly. Can we pay attention to the Light Cone's lore, please? You guys are just going crazy here all day. Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Wende.]
[See, I told you there was angst!]
[My heart aches for Wende...]
[To be fair, doesn't that pose look a little familiar?]
[Now that you mention it, I see it too (hallucinates)]
[Emmm, I have a bad feeling about this.]
