Leaving Yuehai Pavilion, not far away, Granny Ping could be seen leisurely brewing tea, seemingly living a very comfortable life. Was this the retired life of an immortal?
He walked over slowly and greeted Granny Ping.
"Good morning, Granny Ping. Uh... I wonder if you have time to visit my shop? Although we're not very close, I'd still like to invite you."
As he spoke, Granny Ping picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, saying amiably,
"At my age, someone actually invites me to visit. I understand... I will definitely go at noon. I just don't know if I can bring a few friends? After all, it's not good for those few people to stay in the mountains all the time."
Lu Ze knew who Granny Ping was referring to. Besides those few immortals, who else could be her friends staying in the mountains?
"Of course, it's fine. It's a party, so the more people the better. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I still need to call others."
About an hour later, most of the acquaintances had been called. Then, one person told another, and the news spread further, attracting even more people who didn't know each other.
For example, Mr. Yun, with whom he had never spoken before, or the rock musician, and even a few guests from Inazuma.
Dozens of people sat in the hall. It was good that the space was large enough, otherwise, it would have been awkward.
"Today, I am very grateful for everyone's presence. Not only have my two closest relatives returned, but a new version has also been released. To celebrate, I am giving everyone two hours of game time. I hope you all have fun!"
Everyone at the table raised their wine glasses. Fortunately, Zhongli's peach blossom wine was plentiful, otherwise, it might not have been enough.
Lunchtime passed quickly, but almost no one left. Dozens of machines were operating simultaneously, creating a lively atmosphere.
Lu Ze, on the other hand, profited immensely from a ten-pull draw. This gathering had earned him ten lottery tickets. Could these ten tickets yield some good items?
He approached the gacha machine and inserted all ten lottery tickets at once. As the capsules dropped, what good things could he draw?
The first three draws were three sets of four-star stigmata: one for Himeko, one for Durandal, and one integrated set, Aizen's.
It had to be said that if the last set were given to the current Cabbage Head, his damage output would skyrocket. But he didn't want to. After all, by calculating it, he could become even stronger by using crystals to modify it.
From the fourth draw onwards, weapons began to appear.
"Ruler Blade Frost Prison Ice Sky"
"Sleeping Beauty's Dream"
"Xuanyuan Sword"
Two five-star weapons and one Herrscher weapon.
The first was Sakura's weapon, the second was more suitable for Rosaria, or Liliya, and the third was the Key of Domination, one of the Herrscher weapons created by Shangjie Min, but only one of them.
This consumed six lottery tickets. Then, the seventh draw was a fragment of the Elysian Realm, and the subsequent three were also fragments. This meant...
The last four draws were a huge loss. But after reading the description... Phew. It didn't seem like a loss? After all, only four of these could be used to synthesize a complete dungeon.
However, although it was called a dungeon, you could think of it as a secret realm, and within it, you could meet the people you wanted to see. This meant...
He could meet the 13 Flame-Chasers of Elysian Realm, and not just mere memory projections. If it was someone who had already died, the system would use the data from the Elysian Realm and all the memories of the deceased person to piece together a person.
Essentially, it was resurrection.
However, everything had its drawbacks. Although resurrected, their strength was greatly diminished, even less than half of their peak. But it wasn't a big problem for them... it was just a matter of time.
Today was truly a double celebration. No, not just double, but all good things happened in one day. Had he used up all his luck for this lifetime today?
And four lottery tickets, exchanged for 13 people, wasn't this a massive profit? He could only say, "System, you're the best!"
Anna, standing beside him, saw how happy Lu Ze was and wore a smile. For her, if her teacher was happy, she was happy.
He took out Sleeping Beauty's Dream from the system space. Looking at the color scheme, he decisively gave this weapon to Rosaria. As for the other Liliya... should they just use it together?
After all, he didn't have another one.
As for the other Ruler Blade Frost Prison Ice Sky... perhaps he should give it to Sakura in the Elysian Realm. After all, in that battle years ago, for her sister's sake... her weapon was shattered and lay silently in the ruins, making one's heart ache.
However, Sakura was resurrected, but Rin was not. Perhaps this was a form of loneliness. It seemed he would have to find a way to resurrect her sister in the future.
As for the Xuanyuan Sword, it would remain in the system space. He would use it when he had time. He didn't intend to give the Herrscher weapon to anyone, after all, it was a Herrscher weapon.
Because there were so many people, it took almost the entire afternoon to clear them out. However, the consequence of the gathering was a large amount of garbage to clean up.
After working until night, they finally finished. Now it was time for the main business.
He went to the second floor, randomly selected an empty room, and took out the fragments from the system space. While they were called fragments, to put it bluntly, they were 1/4 of a map. They certainly looked like it.
The four fragments merged in the air, then turned into a door frame about two meters high. On it... were engraved the marks of 13 people. Each mark, each symbol, represented a person.
"This should be it, right? It's quite late now, so I'll go in and take a look tomorrow. There's no rush for a day or two."
Thinking this, Lu Ze left the room and went downstairs to prepare for dinner, followed by a good bath and a good sleep. After all, he had been busy all day and deserved a good rest.
What he didn't know was that in the Elysian Realm, the fragments that were originally divided into four islands were rapidly merging at a visible speed, revealing their original appearance once again.
"Huh? Why is it moving? What's going on? Could someone have triggered something? Great. Now we can go find Miss Ai, no... let's go find Miss Vil-V first, and have her come with me."
In a deep part of the realm, a person's eyes slowly opened. Their wings behind them resembled those of a moth, yet also like a butterfly, with lightning flashing in the air, exuding an intimidating aura.
