As Hana walked about to the dorm, she couldn't help but think about Lan Ming Feng. That man, his eyes were the same shade as Rina.
If one took a closer look, her eyes only looked similar to Rina's, Rina's was slightly lighter than hers. If could be a deviance in genetics, but who knows.
Hmm, could that guy be Rina's real father? To be fair, when she thought about it, neither of them really took after the father in her memories. The memories of the few years she spent in the Zhao family were extremely vague. As a child, she rarely interacted with either parent.
However, it was clear the relationship between the parents was not harmonious since her so called father had an affair. It wouldn't be a surprise if the mother cheated. Ah, adult affairs were quite complicated.
Hana quickly shook her head. It was useless to think about these things.
Hmm, maybe she should go clear a dungeon to loosen up?
Suddenly, various messages interrupted her train of thought. "The hell?" Her vision was flooded by new messages from the system.

"Hmm, so I can now track my level growth. Good." Hana mumbled. "Continue."
[You have unlocked the shop feature! You may buy cards in all categories from the shop. The shop also offers anime and manga for purchase. The shop uses the system currency Otaku Points.]
"I can buy anime?!" Hana gulped. Oh god, how much did she miss her anime and manga! Does that mean she could finally see her beloved again! But how to get points? She stared dreamily at the large selection available. Very nice, and it seems up to date.
[You have unlocked the forum feature! The forum is designed for system users to interact with each other. Your username HANA will appear everything you make a comment. The forum is also an announcement page for system contests and raffles. That is the primary source of Otaku Points]
"Oh, this is interesting as well. This seems to be modeled after popular social media platforms." Hana briefly scrolled down the various discussion threads.
[Selling junk cards by points! Send in requests now.]
[Does anyone remember the plot line of Fate/Grand Order? Help a fellow friend out please!]

Hana felt slightly overwhelmed, but also extremely excited. This forum would be very handy for her. If she drew a card from an anime she didn't know, she could ask on the forum for help!
[You have unlocked the trading feature! You can now send and receive trade requests from other system users for cards. Many users also use this as a gifting feature and a way to track friends.]
"This is fantastic."
[The card description also has been completed. See the sample below]

"Assimilation factor?" Hana murmured. "Affinity? Rarity?"
[Affinity is determined by your knowledge of the card, how often you use the card, and how well you use the card. Affinity gives a basic idea of how well the card fits you and can rise over time. Once affinity is full, you can be considered to have mastered the card.
Assimilation factor is how much you will be affected using the card. As you may have noticed, cards can change your appearance, habits, and even personality. The assimilation factor is assigned on a scale from 1- 10.
Rarity of cards are determined by the system and are ranked from: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, God]
Hana nodded. The new features were very nice. Now then, let's open the intro pack.
"System, open the package! In addition, use luck draw and draw 2 times."
The familiar drawing wheel appeared.

Hana watched in satisfaction as her storage was spammed with new cards. Hell yes!
"Um excuse me, are you ok?"
A voice interrupted her reverie, bring her back to the present. Hana realized she was still on the street. To random passerby, it seemed like she was staring into nothing with a grin on her face.
Hana quickly rushed back to her dorm room. "That was embarrassing," she muttered. "Now, let's take a closer look at these cards."

Hana scrolled through the new cards. There were many that were foreign to her. Hmm, first let's use the evolution card.
If I combine both the evolution cards to Charmeleon, I should get Charizard, Hana thought. A dragon.
[Please select X or Y]
"Nice, there's even an option!" Hana went for X. A black dragon is definitely less eye-catching than an orange one.

Hana smiled. She decided to use Charizard exclusively for when she went out in disguise. It would be better than using her regular Pokemon, since she used them too often normally.
Now, she just needed to practice with her new cards.
