Feral, Savage, Corrupted… Overlord. Corrupted Rank beast posed a threat for Awakeners while Overlord Rank beast is equal to Pseudo-Rank Awakeners. Kaiju was unawakened, relying only on the recently earned skills and slightly above average attribute points to kill a Savage Rank beast… barely.
If it was not for his wit and the dull Thrall, he would not have killed it unscratched. Now, he was about to face an Overlord Rank beast?
No thanks.
"It's in slumber? It'll only wake up if it's entirely disturbed? What do you mean entirely? Disturbed enough for its eyes to open and solve the problem itself? So, I can still snatch some fruits. Since its underlings only have poison, I can ignore it with my Poison Immunity skill. Right? They're on the same rank as you, if even I can be fine from your poison, how about them, then? Alright, alright. Enough praising me, Snow. I'll go and snatch it. By the way, will you be okay with me once I go there?"
Kaiju gazed at Snow's reaction and saw she was hesitating. He did not hesitate anymore to order her.
"Alright, I know you'll be affected by an Overlord Rank beast. After all, they have the ability to compel its kind to follow them. You don't have to force yourself. I can do it by myself. Really, don't be depressed, Snow. You can still help me in the future. Don't worry about it."
Kaiju took some time to convince Snow, even had to comfort her downcast emotion since he cared about her a lot. When he finally managed to do so, he asked,
"Do you know when the fruits will be matured? Tonight? Isn't that early? I don't have enough preparations, then."
Kaiju was depressed when he received the information from Snow. He asked her if she knew, for he had an idea that Snow could understand fruits better than he did.
Kaiju checked his Luck Points and distressingly saw 50 Luck Points, which was not even enough to buy a Rare draw ticket.
"Even with a Rare ticket, it would still be through luck for me to obtain a Rare reward in the Rare draw."
Suddenly, the anticipated feminine voice of the Gacha System reverberated in his mind.
{The Gacha System has detected that the host has a serendipitous encounter. The Gacha System is calculating the amount of Luck that the host has gathered through this encounter…}
As always, the Gacha System's voice acted like a voice came from heaven as Kaiju was on his last breath. Her voice was perfectly timing, causing Kaiju to even doubt if Gacha System wanted to support him intently.
"There's no use thinking about it. What's more important is the amount of Luck Points I can obtain. Hopefully, it'll be enough for ten Rare draws."
Of course, if Kaiju obtained enough Luck Points to buy an Epic draw, he would not buy it at all. After all, he did not possess a Guaranteed Ticket, which guaranteed the quality of the rewards he could obtain from the draw.
It would be more beneficial for him to trade for ten Rare draws rather than a single Epic draw.
{The Gacha System has finally determined the amount of Luck Points that the host has gathered.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 Luck Points!
The 100 Luck Points are being multiplied ten times…
Congratulations! The host has obtained 1000 Luck Points!
1000 Luck Points has been credited to your status.
The Gacha System advised the host to check for verification.}
Kaiju was beyond elated to receive a thousand Luck Points. He could exchange it for ten Rare draws. According to the probability, he had a half percentage chance of drawing five Rare rewards while the other was Common rewards.
Five Rare rewards should be doable to snatch a fruit while minimizing the damage he could receive.
"Wait, should I settle for less? Perhaps, I should grab as many fruits as I can." Kaiju's eyes sparkled.
As Kaiju was celebrating with his own thoughts, the Gacha System's voice reverberated on his mind again.
{It has been detected that the host accumulated a thousand Luck Points. The Inventory can now be opened.
Does the host want to exchange a thousand Luck Points for five slots in the inventory?}
Kaiju froze.
The Gacha System's announcement was out of his expectations. He totally forgot about the inventory. Of course, he wanted to open it a week ago since carrying a dagger without a scabbard was pretty dangerous. However, he asked the Gacha System many times how to acquire the inventory but she never replied.
Now that she finally announced it, Kaiju felt conflicted.
In the end, he had to inquire first before coming to a conclusion.
"Gacha System, If I touched an object and ordered you to store it in the inventory, would that work? Also, how many fruits can a single slot store?"
If Kaiju recalled correctly, from what his teacher taught about him, a slot of the inventory can store many objects at once. Of course, there were conditions – if those objects were of the same kind, appearance, size, and other aspects. For instance, stones, etc.
Even then, the condition was so strict that Kaiju recognized the idea of the condition being the same color, as well. Since there were four colors on the fruit, he knew he would have to spend four slots. He had to leave a single slot for Bloodthorn, after all.
So, at this point, he was pondering meticulously.
{Yes, that's how it always works.}
For some reason, Kaiju felt mocked by her feminine voice. Nevertheless, he did not dwell on it as the Gacha System continued.
{A single slot can store up to ten objects with the same elements.}
Kaiju nodded, now certain of the decision he was about to make.
"Alright, if that's the case, then… buy the inventory."
{The Gacha System has received the host's command.
The Gacha System will consume 1000 Luck Points to open the inventory.
The Inventory has been unlocked! Five slots are available. Just order the Gacha System to store the object the host's fancied to.}
Kaiju felt a sharp pang in his heart. The 1000 Luck Points felt like the Gacha System just let him touch it before it vanished in an instant.
He felt suffocated but he eventually had to accept it.
