With anticipation in her heart, Jean pressed the button for the 100,000 consecutive draws.
The moment the button was pressed, crystals wrapped in light shot through the clouds.
Their colors shifted—starting from gray, turning to white, followed by blue.
Then, the light transformed into a rich purple!
It didn't change to gold as expected but instead deepened to an extreme purple!
The light streaked across the sky.
As the drawing animation ended, neatly stacked piles of cards appeared on the table.
Venti widened his eyes.
Jean was momentarily stunned before feeling a pang of guilt.
"Is this... normal?"
Venti scratched his head—this was a *100,000-draw*!
Not a single gold card?!
This was absolutely not right!
Venti didn't doubt Lu Heng; the system had nothing to do with him.
There was no reason for Lu Heng to sabotage them.
So, Venti pondered, "Could it be that, at this very moment, Jean's luck is just incredibly bad?"
Hearing this, Jean felt even more remorseful.
This was a 100,000-draw!
If luck had been on their side and a few gold cards appeared, the benefits for the Knights of Favonius would have been unimaginable!
But not a single one showed up!
This wasn't the first time a 100,000-draw had failed to produce a gold card.
When Diluc drew earlier, there had also been a 100,000-draw without a gold.
"Relax a little."
Lu Heng glanced at the results and said, "Look at it from a better perspective—120 purple cards. Do you know how significant that is?"
Venti snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the massive pile of purple cards, instantly breaking into a smile again.
Jean thought it over carefully and sighed in relief.
At least the purple card drop rate was high!
Even if only half of them were usable, sixty fourth-tier purple cards would still be incredibly powerful!
Venti had already started calculating silently.
Regardless of other abilities, in terms of combat power alone, each purple card could roughly match one Xiao!
Yes, Xiao—who had no cards before—had become Venti's unit of measurement.
It wasn't that Venti had any issues with Xiao, but Xiao, being one of the top-tier fourth-tier individuals, was perfect for gauging a card's combat strength!
Seeing Venti's sudden change in expression, Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh.
This was the charm of gacha!
When you hit the 90-pull pity and get a off-banner, but then realize there's another one right after!
The current situation wasn't a double gold, but 120 purple cards were enough to ease the disappointment a little.
"As long as it's not particularly bad, it's fine." Jean had already calmed down.
Looking at it another way—if 2 billion Mora could buy so many powerful allies, wasn't that already a huge profit?
Though it might be a bit self-deceptive, Jean genuinely felt that just one [Fluttering War Banner] was probably worth an ordinary gold card!
With her mindset adjusted, Jean became much more composed.
Beside her, Lisa smiled faintly—she had been ready to comfort Jean earlier.
For a major client like the Knights of Favonius, fourth-tier purple cards didn't need special introductions unless their effects were exceptionally broken.
Lu Heng simply gathered all the purple cards in his hand—effectively appraising them all at once.
Then, he handed a stack of purple cards to Lisa.
Meanwhile, Jean, now steady, pressed the button for the third 100,000-draw.
The drawing animation appeared.
This time, a golden light emerged from the dense purple!
The gold grew richer and richer!
Lu Heng raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Looks like the pity was a double gold!
The next second, the results of this 100,000-draw were revealed.
Five fifth-tier gold cards lay quietly in five slots!
The remaining cards automatically piled up beside them.
"Five?!"
Venti's face instantly lit up with joy.
Nice!
This was more like it!
Jean, who had been tense, also let out a sigh of relief.
She had truly feared another gold-less draw, but this time, five appeared at once!
Even Lisa looked astonished.
After all, a single fifth-tier gold card was already incredibly powerful—let alone five! The question was just how many would be usable.
"Let me take a look."
Lu Heng waved his hand.
The five gold cards were appraised, and their information was displayed.
First Gold Card:
[Water-Avoiding Pearl]
[Tier]: Fifth-tier • Gold
[Type]: Equipment
[Traits]: Water Avoidance, Spiritual Energy
[Description]: A magical tool for avoiding water. Even in the deepest seas, one can breathe easily and remain completely dry!
"It's a treasure."
Venti understood the concept of magical tools, but for those with strong abilities, something like water avoidance was hardly necessary, right?
"The main attribute is a bit lacking, but the secondary attribute is decent." Lu Heng commented.
Its primary function was obviously water avoidance—hence the name.
If someone from Fontaine got their hands on this, even the Primordial Seawater wouldn't be able to dissolve them. In fact, it wouldn't even get close!
But with Furina making preparations, the people of Fontaine wouldn't need this thing anyway!
This item would be far more useful in a xianxia or fantasy world.
For example, if there was a body of water with special properties and a treasure hidden beneath, the Water-Avoiding Pearl would be invaluable.
But in Teyvat, its effects didn't quite match its fifth-tier status.
However, it also had energy-gathering capabilities!
"When water avoidance isn't needed, it can just be treated as an 'energy-storing pearl.'"
Lu Heng glanced at Venti and said, "For example, store Anemo Archon's divine power in it, then let the Archon recover naturally... Later, if the Archon runs out of energy in a fight, they can just pull this out and replenish their power."
Its function was like a mana potion in a game.
Lu Heng's final verdict: "Useful, but not overwhelmingly so. On the bright side, at least it's not purely a material card."
"True!"
Venti nodded in agreement.
Just think about Ningguang—thirteen gold cards, half of which were material cards!
Not that material cards were useless, but gathering materials was just too expensive!
Lu Heng moved on to the next fifth-tier gold card, and his expression immediately turned a bit complicated.
"Just mentioned material cards, and here's one."
The group fell silent for a moment.
"Guess we'll just have to save it for now and see if there's a chance to use it later." Jean analyzed rationally.
Material cards had their uses, but they weren't immediately applicable.
Moving on.
Third Gold Card:
[Crimson Moon Ape]
[Tier]: Fifth-tier • Gold
[Type]: Transformation Card
[Traits]: Nighttime Boost, Titanic Strength
[Description]: Equip this card to transform into the Crimson Moon Ape, wielding the power of a Demon King!
"A transformation card, like Tartaglia's [Uncrowned King]?" Venti rubbed his chin and asked, "How does it rank among fifth-tier cards?"
"Not bad—mid-tier." Lu Heng replied.
Cards like this were actually quite valuable.
Ordinary skill cards were just attacks or defenses.
But this type of card came with its own skill set!
And the included skill set didn't interfere with using other card skills during the transformation.
Thus, such cards held significant value!
"Mid-tier? That's already great!" Venti and Jean were both delighted.
Jean was already envisioning it.
Once someone equipped this card and paired it with other complementary cards, they could easily approach the level of a high-tier Archon!
And if they also received the buff from [Fluttering War Banner]... they'd undoubtedly reach high-tier Archon status!
This was equivalent to Mondstadt gaining a god nearly on par with the Anemo Archon!
Looking at it this way...
Mondstadt now had three high-tier Archons: the Anemo Archon, the God of Faith, and the Crimson Moon Ape!
