To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Therefore, Luo Mo decisively opened the card pool, and because the next version is approaching, this card pool will span two versions.

Admittedly, this meant Luo Mo earned less money, but he also had his own considerations. He always prioritized the presentation of the storyline, and the gacha pool was just a byproduct. He couldn't let the gacha pool, which appeared first, affect the players' emotional development of the story.

But today isn't the day of the version update; it's something else entirely... the exclusive stigmata gacha pool has been refreshed.

Since that time he got the Velvey stigmata, he'd refreshed the gacha, but the results... were terrible. Or rather, it was a mismatch of resources. He got a Kiana: Exam Preparation stigmata, should he exchange for it? He got a Bronya: Secondary Silver Wing stigmata, should he exchange for it? Or... should he exchange for the Sirin: Ascended stigmata?

It is clear that some stigmata are overlapping and are lower-tier replacements, especially the one for Kiana's exam preparation. He felt that this should not appear in the special stigmata pool!

Changing and equipping four-star stigmata is troublesome, so he wouldn't put pressure on his future, right?

Luo Mo, who had spent three thousand refreshes in the previous few days, finally decided to let his luck slow down.

He and the end were probably just not meant to be.

[Exclusive gacha pool has been refreshed: 4-star stigmata, Van Gogh]

[Description: A little artist obsessed with painting, painting and painting, has grown up without realizing it. She says, "Hey, why can I reach the canvas without having to carry a stool anymore?" (Requirement: A person who observes the stars)]

Luo Mo raised an eyebrow, a sense of hesitation appearing in his heart for the first time.

For most Stigmata, he had a clear understanding and choices, and basically didn't have much hesitation. But this time, he was unusually caught in a state of indecision.

This stigmata is quite powerful, considering it was released relatively late.

Through his observation, he discovered that the stigmata he redeemed were actually based on the game to some extent. In other words, the later a 'stat-boosting' stigmata appeared in the game, the stronger it would be for him; this was a fact.

However, there is another important influencing factor for Stigmata, called compatibility. When translated into reality, the difference is even more obvious.

The extent to which different people utilize the Stigmata varies drastically, which is indisputable.

Chapter 56 Gretchen's Whereabouts

If we convert compatibility into numerical values, based on the special Stigmata he issued, Alicia's is the highest, as she reclaimed power originating from herself; Fu Hua is second, as it is proof of her five thousand years of protecting Shenzhou, impeccable. Both of them should have a compatibility rate of over 90%.

Himeko, Mebius, Velvet, and others... also have a success rate of over 80%, and their skill effects match, but the people in the cards are ultimately not themselves, so there's a lack of a sense of connection.

Oh right, Bronya is an exception; she has the ability she has in the future but hasn't mastered yet.

He is now considering the issue of compatibility, since the combination of the two is the true manifestation of a stigma's power and the most suitable proof.

As for Gretchen... regardless of whether she is suitable for Gretchen, the conditions for wearing it alone put Gretchen in a difficult position. It is only suitable for Gretchens located many astronomical units away, and light would need to travel a distance of 26 days.

As for the conditions for wearing it—is it for someone who observes the stars?

I don't know if Qianjie and Su are included. If all else fails... how about giving it to Kevin? He must have traveled to countless stars in the Sea of ​​Quanta.

The savior hero is adorned with holy marks of world-shaking, which adds a touch of humor to his appearance.

Although he seriously felt that if the other party knew about the Mei Saint Mark, they would choose that without hesitation, and regardless of the actual bonus effect, their fighting spirit was unprecedentedly stimulated.

Who says plum blossoms can only be tattooed on the back of a mechanical duck?

Kevin, the God of Pure Love, says that holding it in your hand will give you a bonus!

Considering this, and given his abundant crystals, Luo Mo hesitated for a moment before deciding to exchange them. Compared to wasting crystals on refreshing, exchanging for holy marks was less likely to cause him heartache.

What he needs most are the Stigmata of the End and the Origin; he can choose the others depending on the circumstances.

Suppressing his thoughts, as expected, he still got ten consecutive draws despite his not-so-good luck. Luo Mo's face darkened slightly, but he seemed to be used to it by now.

At least... he got incredibly lucky this time and got two special costume cards, right? The rest were all three-star stigmata, so he decided to hand them over to Kallen directly.

...It really is true. Although it's not Mei, it's very close. Judging from their relationship, the difference between Prometheus's and Mistelin's stigmata isn't that great.

But Luo Mo naturally had no intention of exchanging it.

Regarding crystals, there were some scattered plot fragments during this period, such as the Paradise part and the Post-Honkai Odyssey, which were partially available for collection. However, since the climax of the plot hadn't been reached, the amount wouldn't be very large, so it's better to hold onto them as much as possible.

The fact that they had solved the problem of the Thousand Herrschers using Alicia's Stigmata, without directly using crystals, put Luo Moxin at ease. In a way, it saved a significant amount of resources.

No wonder he acted impulsively, risking his life to snatch Ellie from Kevin before he even left! Love!

But about Gretchen...

It was actually more difficult to handle, but fortunately it wasn't just his problem. It should have been decided by his companions, and he was simply sharing what he knew with them, placing his own chips on one side of the scales of judgment.

After exchanging the money, he didn't hesitate anymore. He had made the decision he needed to make, and now he could just confront Alicia and the others directly.

Just a few days ago, she had asked him about it. She had asked him if he knew about Gretchen's situation and what her current situation was, and now he decided to tell her everything.

Thinking of this, he pushed open the door and went out.

He paused for a moment at the entrance of Huang Jing's courtyard. It wasn't the season for cherry blossoms to bloom, but the two trees in the courtyard were in exceptional bloom, their fragrance filling his heart.

It also made him...recall what he needed to say.

He sorted out his thoughts, and then... he pushed open the door.

"Oh? Luo Mo, what brings you here today? That's rare. I thought you only came here to enjoy the scenery during version updates!"

Alicia put down the small pink watering can in her hand, spraying the plants in the room with the delicate spout. She turned around curiously and saw Luo Mo.

But... why does the other party seem a little anxious?

I remember last time I was so eager to see myself crying... Well, I found out from Sakura chatting in the group, and then I rushed over.

Suddenly my fist feels a bit hard?

Alicia's expression was slightly annoyed, and the pink spray bottle was casually placed aside. Luo Mo didn't understand why she was suddenly a little angry; it was probably because her period had started.

"What are you saying? What's wrong with me coming to see the god I believe in? Many people envy me but can't even dream of having such a god. Besides... stop, stop, don't come any closer. I have important business to attend to today."

"Oh? Serious business? You said you had something important to do last time, but nothing happened in the end. It was just an excuse to avoid things. Luo Mo, you have to face life bravely."

Alicia rolled her eyes at him, shook the water droplets off her hands, and didn't come any closer.

"You are the one who is here today to ask about Gretchen."

"Gree, Rei, Xiu~? You're finally willing to bring it up?"

"Is Gretchen alright? We can't get in touch with Velvet and Mebius at all. Although considering the long time that has passed, it's probably because of the distance, but I'm still worried~"

“If you don’t speak up soon, I won’t be able to stop Mebius. Although she seems a bit cold, she still cares about Gretsch.”

Alicia poured out her grievances to Luo Mo, telling him about her hardships.

I guess it's mainly because she was also very worried.

Looking at the cunning pink elf before him, Luo Mo's heart remained as firm as a rock. Mere female beauty? The Alicia before him was a god he revered! The kind that radiates holy light.

“Uh… so, where’s Gretchen?” She blinked, then steadily picked up a glass of water from the coffee table to moisten her throat.

"She's over the mountains, over the sea... cough cough, she's in a distant galaxy. I can't say exactly where she is. Su has her, but right now he probably thinks we should defeat the Honkai first."

Luo Mo tried to be as concise as possible in his answer.

"Ha—so your choice to come and tell us... means you disagree with his opinion?"

Mebius walked over gracefully, his eyes sweeping over Alicia. He didn't know how much she had heard, but she must have at least heard Alicia's rambling.

But that wasn't the point at hand. Her vertical snake eyes fixed on Luo Mo, she parted her red lips slightly, a hint of allure in her voice, "Does that little white mouse have any way to find her? I'll reward you with lots of candy~"

"Why don't you all come and listen? Perhaps we'll need your collaboration."

Luo Mo shrugged and offered a suggestion: "The final course of action depends on you."

Mebius and Alicia had no objection to his words. The matter was indeed of great importance, so they summoned all the heroes present.

...

Luo Mo also briefly recounted the events, but objectively described Gretchen's current situation from a third-party perspective.

"So, you're saying that Gretchen was captured by a massive being and forced into hibernation in a world? Foros, that thing is called... So?"

Velvi listened with interest to this well-conceived story, though of course, she was also quite worried about little Gretchen.

They actually dismantled her spaceship and brazenly plundered all the technology inside.

She had to admit that the other party really dared to bully Gretsch, taking advantage of the fact that she didn't have her parents around for the time being.

"It sounds a lot like Su, with a single finger making the sound."

Alicia smiled and pointed it out, while Sue's expression remained unchanged, and they continued to interact calmly.

"It's also possible that she is indeed a female version of Su, after all, the original form of the other party is somewhat similar to Su's color scheme, and the appearance is almost a replica."

Luo Mo, standing to the side, also confirmed Alicia's guess. Based on the fact that Vita is the female version of Su, and that she is also the original form of So, the equation So equals Su is completely true!

“Uh…” Su Wei opened her mouth slightly, her lips twitching.
