Chapter 10: Vision without Attribute
Roshin mentioned that these games might come in handy because his 10-pull contained an immense amount of information.
At the same time, the appearance of the Herrscher of Sentience and this Traveler's talent gave Roshin an even stronger sense of déjà vu.
Having quit the game long ago and not played for very long, Roshin didn't immediately recall what the Traveler was—until he later thought of Genshin Impact.
So the question arose: Did Genshin Impact come first, followed by the Traveler, or was it the other way around?
Roshin's talent panel appeared roughly two years ago, but Genshin Impact was released just over a year ago.
Roshin wasn't sure whether his talents had been predetermined before the panel awakened and simply needed to be unlocked through quests, or if they were randomly drawn after completing all the tasks.
But he leaned toward the former—these were his innate talents, now merely presented in a form easier for him to understand.
Though Roshin hadn't played Genshin Impact for long, he still had some memories of it.
No wonder the term "Primogem" struck a chord with him.
The issue was rather complicated, so for now, let's return to the 10-pull.
The gacha interface in the Traveler's menu wasn't polished—in fact, it was a bit crude—but that didn't matter. What mattered was that it allowed him to roll.
Roshin had a total of 1,605 Primogems.
1,000 Primogems were his talent reward for awakening his abilities—or rather, his commission payment. However, since he hadn't successfully unlocked his talents before, the storage cap was only 1,000 Primogems, making Roshin feel like he'd lost out on hundreds of millions.
After all, logically speaking, even a small commission granted five Primogems—so wouldn't 1,000 commissions amount to 5,000 Primogems?
600 Primogems were the reward for completing the quest [A Home for Herrscher of Sentience].
The last five Primogems were obtained by snatching a lollipop from a little girl to finish the task.
Though these five Primogems were meager, their significance went beyond just the number. They represented the idea that fulfilling a commission didn't always require gentle persuasion—sometimes, a bit of force worked too.
Just like in Genshin Impact, each wish costs 160 Primogems, so 1600 Primogems equaled exactly ten pulls.
The gacha interface stated that a 10-pull guaranteed at least one purple (4-star) item, accumulating 100 pulls guaranteed a gold (5-star) item, and accumulating 200 pulls might even yield a rainbow (6-star) item.
Note the word "might" in that last part.
All in all, the gacha system left Roshin with mixed feelings. He wanted to curse the designer, but after remembering this was his own innate ability, he swallowed his words.
Still, there was good news—the first 10-pull also guaranteed a gold item, thanks to the overflow of Primogems converted into luck. This fact gave Roshin some small comfort.
After clicking the 10-pull button, under Roshin's expectant gaze, a golden light flashed, accompanied by two purples, two blues, and five whites.
Gold represented 5-star items—extremely rare and capable of producing talent accessories that expanded innate abilities.
Purple represented 4-star items—valuable and hard to obtain, such as high-quality weapons or support items, usually with decent special effects.
Blue represented 3-star items—rare, often containing powerful tools, with a few special ones even surpassing 4-star items in utility, though they were exceedingly scarce. Blue items were generally unobtainable through normal means and possessed unique abilities.
White represented 1-star and 2-star items—things you could easily find in the ordinary world.
And Roshin's haul this time was…
5-star: [Zero Point Bar] (Talent Accessory) (Item)
4-star: [Friend of the Non-Human] (Title), [Attribute-less Vision] (Item)
3-star: [Red Wolf's Frying Pan] (Item), [The One and Only Blunt Sword] (Weapon)
2-star: [Barrett M82A1 Sniper Rifle] (Weapon), [Endless Coconut Milk] (Beverage)
1-star: [Premium Cat Food] ×10 (Pet Supplies), [Chinese Yuan] ×1000, [Telescope] (Item)
The sight of one gold and two purples in a single 10-pull made Roshin feel that the excess Primogems converted into luck had "died" a worthy death. After all, gold-tier items could completely change the game experience.
However, one thing puzzled him—why was [The One and Only Blunt Sword] rated higher in rarity than the Barrett?
That was until he read its description.
[The One and Only Blunt Sword]
Equipment Description: The dream of a young man, the excitement of setting out on a journey—if these precious qualities aren't sharp enough, then let courage make up the difference.
Equipment Traits: Bound exclusively to the wielder, untradeable, undroppable, unloseable, unbreakable. Grows alongside its master, enhancing itself over time. Bestows the courage to travel and fight.
Equipment Story: This sword has no story, but the moment you grasp it, it will begin recording and witnessing your own tale.
This thing is actually a growth-type equipment, and from the sound of it, it's bound to the Traveler.
Is this really just a 3-star item?
As everyone knows, growth-type weapons are usually bug-tier existences.
In any case, this draw definitely wasn't a loss.
But now the question arises - what exactly is the use of that single 5-star item?
"Now the question is, what can this tavern actually do?" Roshin pondered while sitting on the chair behind the counter.
"Mixology... while I've learned many things, bartending isn't one of them."
Having performed about 1,000 good deeds, Roshin possessed exceptional manual dexterity. Some commissions couldn't be completed with just ordinary skills, like nursing.
Thus, Roshin had acquired many skills, such as massage.
But mixology... let's just say Roshin was still too young to have encountered it.
As Roshin was deep in thought, his hand inadvertently rested on the counter. The moment he touched it, as if triggering some mechanism, the talent interface suddenly popped up.
On that talent panel appeared a special store.
[Primogem Store] - [Zero Point Bar]
Currently, this bar-exclusive store only had one item.
[Void Wine]: 5 Primogems
[Void Wine]: A wine with no fixed flavor that can transform into any alcoholic beverage, but won't replicate any special effects of the original drink.
"..." Roshin silently looked at his remaining 5 Primogems.
Damn it!
Is this broken system doing this on purpose?
Well, don't get angry, don't get angry. This system is my own talent, getting mad at myself isn't worth it.
