Chapter 140 - Gacha Time

Alex checked his Tickets.

[Gacha Ticket x1036

Premium Ticket x5

Dart x0

Summon Ticket x0]

"Hmm, I will exchange the normal tickets to Premium Tickets."

[Gacha Ticket x36

Premium Ticket x10]

"Haha, Now…it's time for Gacha. My first Gacha in the Upper World" He opened the Premium Draw and chose the Draw x5 two times. Two boxes appeared in front of him.

He opened the first box and opened the gacha balls one by one.

[Red Halberd (SR) – Rank 3 Weapon]

[Space Ring (SR)

Use: 50 meter cubic Space Ring]

[Agnoi Berry (R) – Rank 2 Medicinal Herb]

[Iron Spear (UC) – Rank 1 Spear]

[Grandmaster Beast Bone (SR) – Rank 3 Materials]

Alex was astonished by the new display. He didn't need to check them one by one because he already got the system's simple explanation. "Halberd huh… I can use its tip like a spear. But I think I won't use much since the blade distracted me a bit. The spear I currently using is Rank 3 Spear too, so I don't have any reason to use that. For the Space Ring. I will use it since the one I got from Master only have 5 meter cubic space. As for the Iron Spear, just skipped it.

For Agnoi Berry, it is another Medicinal Ingredients for Rank 2 Pill, Energy Pill. With another two medicinal herbs and Master Stage Monster Core, I can make that pill. But, the problem is the monster core. This pill will make Martial Master Stage advance a star. But it depends on which Stage the monster core is at If it is a 7-star Master Stage Monster Core. It can only be used for the 7-Star Martial Master Stage or below. And For the Grandmaster Stage Beast Bone…I don't have any use for it at the moment."

After that, he went to the second box.

[Fire Cloud Cauldron (SR) – Rank 3 Cauldron]

[Wooden Bow (C) – Rank 1 Bow]

[Box of Spirit Stones (R) – 500 Spirit stones]

[Mending Powder (UC) – Rank 1 Medicinal Herb]

Just before Alex opened the last one, Anna comes to him.

"Master…is this the legendary Gacha Ball?" Anna looked at the ball with great interest.

"Legendary? You are exaggerating, but yes, this is Gacha Ball. You want to try opening it?"

"Can I?" Anna's eyes brightened. She seems very eager to do it.

"Sure"

Anna slowly touched the ball. The ball opened. The thing inside it surprised Alex so much that he can't help but uttered, "Is this the legendary Beginner Luck?"

[Sword Mastery (UR) – Passive Skill]

He was confused a bit since this is the first time he saw a 'Passive Skill' in Gacha. But when he checked the effect. He suddenly hugs Anna in joy. "Anna, you are my angel, you are my blessing."

"Ma-Master?" Anna froze. Her face becomes red. Alex's reaction seems a bit exaggerating, but when she saw the effect. She knows the reason why her Master become this happy.

[Sword Mastery (UR) – Passive Skill

Effect: Greatly Boost Comprehension Speed in Sword (Sword Arts and Sword Intent)]

The effect was very practical and it is a Passive Skill. It means that the effect will continuously active in his unconsciousness.

After a while, his excitement calmed down. He released Anna. "Anna, I'm sorry. I was too excited, just now."

"No Young Master. It is a reward for me." Anna said while blushing.

Alex was confused, 'A reward?'. But he didn't want to delve deeper for now so he immediately changed the topic, "Alright. Let me check the others first. Let see, I need this Rank 3 Cauldron. My previous cauldron is a rank 2 cauldron. Wooden Bow… just throw it away. As for the Mending Powder, it is only for Rank 1 pill so I don't have any use for it. For the Box of Spirit Stones, there are 500 spirit stones inside. I don't know about the currency so, I will keep it for now. As for 'Sword Mastery'… System, how do I use this?"

The Sword Mastery he got from the system is a Card with 'Sword Mastery' written on it. So he confused as to how to use it.

[Hold the card and say 'Use']

Alex followed System's word. He holds the card, it seems that it is similar to Summon Card. But this time, he needs to say 'Use' not 'Summon'. He finally said, "Use"

The card started glowing and disappeared. Alex know that he has used it, but he didn't feel any difference. Well, since it is a passive skill, he thought about his Sanguin Sword Art. He tried to practice his Sanguin Sword Art.

Movement after movement. This time, he feel a huge difference, he felt his movement become smoother and more precise. Alex was astonished by the effect. This really makes his progress in this very fast. Maybe in a few days, he really can use the Twelfth Slash.

Before he continues practicing his Sanguin Sword Art, he used all of his Normal Tickets.

[Water Bottle (C) x10

Silk Grass (C) x1

…

Fire Fruit Seed (UC) x1]

There is only one thing that caught his attention the most.

[Katana (R) x1], and

[Mithril Sword (R)]

"Katana? Japanese Katana? Every time I got a very different and noticeable item/skill. It is a big flag from the System itself. Hmm…"

he decided to ignore it for now and practices his Sanguin Sword Art while waiting for tomorrow.

The next day, Sherry still hasn't wake up.

"Young Master, what are we going to do now?" Anna asked

"Let's Move. Leoz, check our surroundings."

"Yes"

Alex looked at Sherry. He held her in his arm before Sherry became a stream of light and went inside his body. Suddenly, Leoz's card shine.

Alex holds the card, "What is it, Leoz?"

"Young Master. I am observing a young man who is fighting a 1-Star Master Stage Beast. The young man only have the cultivation of 1-Star Martial Master, but the young man seems going to lose sooner or later. What should I do, Young Master?"

"Wait a bit, I will go there." Alex said as he turned to Anna. "Let's go"

Anna nodded. They went toward Leoz's direction with the help of Leoz Card.

"Leoz"

"Young Master" Leoz greeted Alex, then he turned to the young man. "That is the young man I am talking about, Young Master"

Alex looked at the young man. The young man seems to be at the same age as him, he has long green hair tied in a ponytail. He didn't have any fancy equipment, he only has Rank 2 Sword. But his movement seems a bit rigid and he himself has been exhausted, it seems that he had been fighting many monsters. And as Leoz said, he is going to lose sooner or later.

"What should we do, Young Master? Should we help him?"

Alex pondered for a moment. Alex was thinking about the pros and cons. His master didn't tell him anything about the influential powerhouse, well, he was in here a few thousand years ago and the top faction might have changed since then. Alex decided to help him, so he can gather some information about this world, and which continent he is in now. From the young man's appearance, he doesn't seem to be a young master. So, if he needs to kill, he can kill him.

"Let's help him. We can gather some information from him about this world. But first…" He looked at Leoz and Anna. "Leoz, you will accompany me. As for the setting, you are my big brother that is traveling with me, So with that, you are Leoz Sirius."

"What? Young Master?" Leoz was shocked.

"Then, what about Anna?" suddenly, Anna was clinging to him desperately. One thing that made her like that, that is the family name 'Sirius' that he put on Leoz's name.

"Anna…" Alex pondered for a moment. "Go back in the card"

"No no, I don't want that. Why is that Muscle Brain can accompany you and have your family name but Anna can't?"

"Well, I got the feeling if you are the one who accompanies me, you will bring me many troubles"

"Don't worry, I won't" Anna replied hurriedly.

"Yes, you are not the one who will cause troubles, but Anna is a beautiful girl. What if we meet some 'Nasty Young Master' that thinking with his D*ck, not his brain and saying 'You and I are a heaven match'. It is going to be troublesome."

"No. I still don't want it."

"If you wanted my family name. Just put it, 'Anna Sirius' is that alright with you?"

"Wha! Uhehe…Anna Sirius. But…" Even though she is happy, she is not down.

"Anna is my trump card. Don't worry, I will summon you when no other people present" Alex dropped another bomb

"Anna is Young Master's trump card? You will summon Anna later… I am like Young Master Secret Mistress. That isn't bad too…uhehe…" Drool seeping from her mouth.

Alex sweatdropped, he is wondering where he goes wrong. The aloof and cool beauty when they first met become something like this… He immediately took out Anna's Card. "Recall"

He made Anna went back inside the card forcefully.

"Then, Leoz, you are going to be my Big brother. Please take care of me, Big Brother" Alex said cheekily.

"Young Master!"

"It is not 'Young Master'. It's 'Little Brother" Alex corrected him.

"Little Brother" Leoz said embarrassedly.

Looking at this 'Muscle Brain' got embarrassed is a new experience for him. He laughed. "Good enough, I'm counting on you 'Big Brother"

Alex observed him a bit longer. After all, if he helped him and he said he doesn't need it. It will be a troublesome development. But after observing, Alex decided to take back his order. "Leoz, Sorry. But I think you need to go inside the card."

Leoz didn't say anything and went back.

…

The young man was slashing his sword toward the beast. The beast he currently facing is a Master Stage Twin Snake. It was named Twin Snake because two heads are coming from one body.

The left head went toward the young man from the front, wanting to bite him.

"Splitting Sword"

The young man didn't back down. It blocked the snake head butt, but the other head also attacked him from his left side. He let go one of his hand from the sword, he throws a punch toward the other head

"Echo Fist"

Even though he managed to block it, the momentum still managed to blow him away. He crashed to a nearby tree. The snake charged toward him, and he didn't have any time to react to this attack.

"Is this the end for me?"

He remembered, he is a Young Master from an influential family in the town nearby. He cultivates faster than average, but he always felt something wrong when using a weapon or martial arts, he thought that the weapon and the martial arts couldn't compliment his weapon. He is a bit better when using his bare hand to attack, but it is still the same. He still feels something off. Then, another genius appeared in his family, it is his cousin. Even though they are in the same stage of cultivation, He always loses, because his fighting ability is weaker. That's why he thought about polishing his Martial Arts even further, but because of that, his cousin reached 2-Star Martial Master Stage while he just barely a 1-Star Martial Master Stage.

He is deemed to be useless that the gap between them will only farther and farther away. His Father still supported him even though he was like that and his Mother always cares for him. He didn't want to disappoint them, that's why he snuck out and try advancing his Martial Arts in Life and Death battle. But after continuously fighting, he is exhausted. And when he just about to rest, he was ambushed by this snake. And now the situation escalated like this, is he going to die? Is he going to disappoint his parents? Is Father and Mother will cry because of me?

Just as he resigned his fate, a person appeared in front of him. The person who appeared before him seems to be the same age as him. Looking at his temperament, he is very likely used to battle. He looked at his cultivation and found that he is the same as him, 1-Star Martial Master.

"Be careful, there are two heads."

The young man that just appeared only smiled. He took out a sword from his 'Space Ring'. Well, he wasn't bothered with it, since Space Rings are rather common, he has two in his possession. He looked at the Young Man kicked the snake's head and slash another head. The sword cut the head very smoothly, and it immediately went toward the other head and cut it too. The young man in front of him killed the snake easily. He was astonished by that.

"I'm Alex, what is your name?"

"My name…"
