He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

"It's nothing. You and your disciples were of great help on this trip."

Gong Qing waved his hand and replied politely.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't say anything more, and turned around to find an open space.

He sat cross-legged and began to study the book "Taiyi Zhenjing".

Gong Qing stood up, looked around, and his gaze fell on Xia He and Gao Ning.

"Our quota is enough to draw more than sixty high-end gacha pulls. Let's start with thirty to test the waters."

Xia He clapped her hands, "Come on, come on!"

Gong Qing walked up to the gashapon machine and divided his preferences into three directions.

"Ten personal enhancements, with a preference for Xia He's ability type."

"Ten personal enhancements, with a preference for Gao Ning's ability type."

"Let's open all ten options and see if God will be so kind to us."

He pressed the button, and the gashapon machine started spinning wildly.

People gathered around.

The disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the rogue cultivators from the All-Knowing Sect, and even Tony, who was drawing a picture, all looked up.

Who wouldn't want to witness a gacha pull with a prize pool of 100 million?

The first one is silver.

The second one is silver.

The third one is blue.

The fourth one...

hum!

A dense, dark purple light burst forth from the fourth gashapon capsule, causing the entire gashapon machine to vibrate violently.

Li Ang put down the Coke can and stood up.

"Really that lucky?"

A gem the size of a pigeon egg emerged from the capsule toy amidst a dark purple light.

The gemstone is a translucent deep purple, with a bewitching vertical pupil pattern faintly visible inside, slowly rotating.

Everyone felt a peculiar aura emanating from the gemstone...

Several well-known rogue cultivators subconsciously took a step forward, their eyes glazed over.

"Don't look."

Gong Qing blocked the gashapon with his hand, catching it; the dark purple light was obscured by his palm.

When the rogue cultivators came to their senses, their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

"Give this to Xia He," Gong Qing said, handing over the gemstone.

A prompt appears on the system panel.

[Succubus Bloodline Awakening Stone (Gold Quality): Upon fusion, it grants the user the mental interference ability of a high-level succubus.]

[Passive Effect: Reduces the willpower of all intelligent beings within the aura's range by 30%.]

[Active Skill: Charming Gaze, locks onto a single target, forcing them into a 3-second mental blank state. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

[Note: After fusion, the appearance will change slightly (the pupil color will darken, and the temperament will become more alluring), but this can be suppressed by willpower.]

Xia He took the gemstone, her eyes shining brightly.

"Mental intervention? A 30% decrease in willpower?"

She considered the effect of her Bubble Fruit poison mist combined with this mental weakening effect, and a sweet yet dangerous smile appeared on her lips.

"Brother Qing, shall we merge now?"

"Wait, let's finish Gao Ning's first." Gong Qing looked at the gashapon machine.

The remaining six "Xiahe Preference" gacha pulls yielded mostly auxiliary items.

There was a bottle of mental enhancement potion and a cloak that could conceal one's presence. Although not as amazing as the Succubus Bloodline Awakening Stone, they were still genuinely good items.

Next up are Gao Ning's ten.

The first seven were opened without any major incidents; the loot consisted of some weapons, some consumables, and two bottles of pills.

The eighth one.

The gashapon machine emitted a muffled roar, and a pure black gashapon rolled out of the exit, with faint golden Sanskrit characters flowing on its shell.

Li Ang squinted his eyes.

"here we go again."

The black gashapon capsule split open automatically.

Inside was a three-inch-tall Buddha statue, entirely black with a ferocious expression.

There is a ring of flame patterns on his back, he holds a sword in his right hand and a rope in his left.

Fudo Myo-o (Acala).

The chief protector of Tantric Buddhism.

[Acala (Gold Quality): After fusion, you gain the protective power of Acala.]

[Passive Effect: Greatly increases mental defense, grants immunity to all mental attacks below 50% of one's own mental strength.]

[Active Skill: Descent of the King of Light, summons a ten-meter-tall phantom of the Immovable King of Light, lasting for 30 seconds. The phantom can act independently, and its attacks have both "purification" and "suppression" attributes. Cooldown: 10 hours.]

Gao Ning grasped the Buddha statue, a slight ripple appearing on his face.

His Stand is "King Crimson," whose time-erasing ability is already quite powerful.

If you add an image of Acala (Fudō Myō-ō), it becomes both offensive and defensive.

"The Immovable King paired with the Crimson King." Gong Qing fiddled with the lighter in his hand. "Putting these two titles together sounds like a cult's annual meeting."

Xia He burst out laughing.

Gao Ning didn't reply and put the Buddha statue into his system space.

The last ten gacha pulls with all preferences unlocked were decent, with no legendary gold drops.

But the drop of an S-grade chakra-enhanced ninja sword and thirty Senzu beans was considered a minimum guarantee.

"Let's merge them." Gong Qing glanced at the time. "Hurry up, Boss Li has a meeting in two hours."

Xia He couldn't wait to hold the Succubus Bloodline Awakening Stone in her palm.

She was enveloped in a dark purple light, and from the outside, all that could be seen was a purple cocoon.

The light faded after ten seconds.

Xia He is still the same Xia He, in a lace dress and a floral parasol.

But everyone sensed something was different.

Her pupils darkened by half a shade, and a layer of flowing purple appeared in her originally clear eyes.

Her entire demeanor changed from "mature and sophisticated" to "alluring and sophisticated".

"How was it? Are you captivated by me?"

Xia He tilted her head and smiled, then blinked.

The two all-knowing rogue cultivators immediately went weak in the knees.

"Be careful, don't try it on your own people."

Gong Qing flicked her forehead without changing his expression.

Gao Ning's integration process was much quieter.

He placed the Buddha image on his forehead, and black light entered his body.

Three seconds later, he opened his eyes, and a fleeting golden Sanskrit character appeared deep within his pupils.

"How are you feeling?" Gong Qing asked.

"I don't feel anything," Gao Ning replied, scratching his head.

Gong Qing nodded and temporarily deposited the remaining value points into his account.

He turned to look at Zhang Zhiwei, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side.

A faint golden halo was floating around the old celestial master, and the Qi within his body was circulating at a completely new frequency.

The book "Taiyi Zhenjing" lay open on his lap, each word imprinted in his consciousness.

"The Old Celestial Master is going into seclusion," Gong Qing said in a low voice to those around him. "Don't disturb him."

"You can swallow the pill you just drew before entering meditation."

Li Ang offered a suggestion.

Zhang Zhiwei opened one eye and looked around, then reached out and picked up the Barrier-Breaking Pill, poured one out and put it in his mouth.

Foundation Building Pill followed closely behind.

The two medicinal forces exploded within his body, and the golden aura suddenly intensified threefold.

Zhang Zhiwei suddenly closed his eyes, and his bones cracked and popped.

"Two hours," Li Ang said to everyone. "Before the Old Celestial Master emerges from seclusion, do not enter within fifty meters of this area."

The crowd dispersed.

Li Ang returned to the recliner and picked up the cola again.

The system panel floated before his eyes.

System upgrade progress: 52.3%

The numbers are jumping slowly.

Every transaction, every purchase, pushes the progress bar forward.

He took a sip of his Coke and his gaze fell on Tony, who was busy drawing in the distance.

Then I glanced at the Quanxing trio who were fusing props in the corner.

Then I looked at Zhang Zhiwei, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

"Guild of Adventurers of the Heavens"

He murmured the name, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It's only been the first day of business."
