The game screen slowly loaded, and familiar music began to play.
Accompanied by the music, Sakura Fubuki entered the world of Fairy Journey.
Her character appeared in the main city, surrounded by familiar buildings and NPCs.
Without a second thought, Sakura Fubuki immediately began refreshing her daily tasks.
Her movements were quick and skillful, as if she had already developed muscle memory.
Accepting tasks, completing goals, submitting tasks—everything was done in one go.
Even when the NPC was still starting the dialogue and greeting her, she had already hit the submit button, ending the conversation before the NPC finished speaking.
"All done with the dailies!"
Sakura Fubuki cheerfully said, "Next, let's see what new content the new version has!"
However, the bullet comments had different ideas:
"Snow Dog, what are you waiting for?!"
"Hurry up and roll for cards!"
"Go roll for Tao Yao!!"
"It seems there's Tao Yao in the card pool!"
"Hurry up and roll!! I can't wait!"
Seeing these urging comments, Sakura Fubuki smiled and replied:
"Don't rush, don't rush. Let the streamer prepare the dowry first. You should all know that the probability in the Fairy Journey card pool is really strange, and there are always suspicions of dynamic adjustments."
"To sum it up, the higher the character's strength and popularity, the lower the probability of getting them."
"From the testing in the last version, getting Tao Yao may not be that easy. I think it will be quite difficult for me to obtain Tao Yao."
The comments immediately reacted:
"Indeed, for someone like Snow Dog, even relying on a 99% guarantee to pull a five-star is still not guaranteed; a four-star is likely to be even harder to get!!"
"Hurry up and roll, I can't wait anymore."
"Snow Dog, don't go off track again!"
"I bet five cents, Snow Dog is going to go all out today."
Sakura Fubuki gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her heartache, scanned the code, and after preparing a set of dowry, she was ready to pull the much-anticipated Tao Yao.
At that moment, suddenly a pop-up appeared:
[You have received a message from Tao Yao]
Seeing this extremely familiar name, Sakura Fubuki perked up instantly.
She clicked into the email system without hesitation.
The system email from Tao Yao was completely different from a regular email.
The entire email interface was adorned with light pink petals, and the borders were decorated with delicate cherry blossom patterns.
Even the font had been specially designed to appear graceful and elegant.
This email undoubtedly contained Tao Yao's heart and was filled with her little thoughts.
As Sakura Fubuki operated, the content of the email appeared before the players:
[Dear new friend:
Hello!
First of all, I sincerely want to thank you for helping me complete Little Snow's funeral.
It meant a lot to me, and your kindness and thoughtfulness deeply moved me.
Actually... from the moment we met, I felt you were particularly familiar.
It's an indescribable sense of intimacy, as if we have known each other for many years.
And this feeling has only grown stronger as we spent more time together.
But I'm sorry; I really don't remember you...
Recently, I've had some thoughts that I've been hesitating to share with you.
After much contemplation, I decided to use this informal way to talk to you about some of my informal thoughts and worries regarding our future journey.
To be honest, inviting you to adventure together, yet not rushing you for a response, isn't because I don't trust you, but because I'm afraid of your response.
I look forward to adventuring with you and exploring every corner of this world.
But at the same time, I fear those hidden memories.
What if they are unpleasant experiences?
Recently, I've been pondering a question:
Why have I forgotten those memories?
Why did I forget them at that time?
The more I think about it, the more entangled and confused I feel.
I'm afraid of going through the pain of losing Little Snow Fox again, which has made me start to resist recalling the past.
However, when I saw your unwavering determination in the face of the beast tide, I suddenly had a new realization.
Perhaps, what I forgot has an imperfect ending.
But I will always believe that as long as you are by my side, I am confident that our story will become the most beautiful one.
Thank you for helping me realize so much.
I will always wait and look forward to your reply.
When the time comes, we will complete our unfinished adventure together.
By the way, I've prepared a small gift for you; I hope you don't mind~
Looking forward to seeing you again!
— From Tao Yao, who may be very familiar with you but accidentally forgot you]
At the bottom of the email, there were also a few items attached:
[Flower Dance Attire · Tao Yao (Four Star) x1]
[Demon Flower x10]
Seeing this email and the attached gifts, Sakura Fubuki widened her eyes and said in disbelief:
"What is this? Another gift?"
The comments immediately erupted:
"Wow! Tao Yao!!!"
"Tao Yao, my wife, why do you always give such extravagant gifts?"
"Damn, I'm crying, Tao Yao sent another ten draws."
"Sniff! I was all set to roll cards, but my wife just directly gave herself to me."
"Is this what love feels like?"
"Tao Yao, my foster mother!"
Sakura Fubuki looked at the screen, muttering to herself: "I... prepared the dowry for nothing?"
Sakura Fubuki looked at the screen, feeling a mix of laughter and tears.
The "dowry" she had originally prepared seemed now to have become useless, leaving her a bit frustrated.
She sighed softly, her expression reflecting a hint of helplessness.
"Alas, this is really..."
Sakura Fubuki shook her head, trying to adjust her emotions.
She turned to the camera and forced a smile at her audience, "Everyone, don't worry, this is just one Tao Yao. For a four-star character, this is normal; it's not a big deal."
She paused for a moment and continued to explain:
"And everyone should know that Tao Yao's real strength mainly lies in her demon soul."
"Only by directly drawing six Tao Yaos and fully merging them into her demon soul can one experience her full potential. So, our card rolling journey has just begun!"
After saying that, Sakura Fubuki took a deep breath and began her card-rolling journey.
First, she spent the more than 100 demon flowers accumulated in her account, but she did not get the desired results.
Then, she prepared a few sets of "dowry" and continued to try.
However, fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on her.
No matter how hard she tried, the figure of Tao Yao remained elusive.
Each ten-draw and each single draw seemed to mock her misfortune.
The comments started to liven up:
"Hahaha, I must say, watching the streamer roll cards is quite enjoyable!"
"That's so harsh, Snow Dog!"
"Over with Hua Yu! That woman can casually point and get a full set, and yet we have to watch Snow Dog roll cards!"
"You regretted offending the luck god before, didn't you?"
Sakura Fubuki looked at these teasing comments and couldn't help but smile wryly. She continued her card-rolling journey, silently praying for good luck to favor her.
Just then, a comment caught her attention:
"A bit of a clown now! If Snow Dog had just looked at the events, she probably wouldn't be stuck on card rolling."
Sakura Fubuki read this comment aloud, her face filled with confusion.
"What does that mean?"
She murmured, then opened the game's event interface.
When she saw the content of the event, she was stunned.
Her expression changed from confusion to shock, finally settling on a near-desperate helplessness.
"No way..."
Sakura Fubuki murmured, her voice filled with disbelief.
Simply put, the content of this event:
As long as players log into the game during the event period and complete this event, they can later obtain materials to fully level up the demon soul through hard work.
Not only does Tao Yao not require a dowry, but in a sense, she also brings her own bridal gift.
This meant that all of Sakura Fubuki's previous efforts and contributions had become futile.
Not only had she prepared the "dowry" for nothing.
But she also wasted a lot of demon flowers and time.
Sakura Fubuki stood there, momentarily unsure how to react.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, instantly breaking down.
"Who gives a character and provides full gifts?!!!"
