FATE: Target of Grand Master

Gathering Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): I've thought about this, but there's no need to be so nervous. BB actually restricts communication between Masters quite a bit. Unless a large number of Masters are in the same trial, and the trial missions are extremely random and free, other Masters have no reason to unite against me. I can't just stop doing the trial missions because I have Morgan, can I?

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): That's true. In any case, you'll have to be more careful in the trials to come.

Gathering the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Yes, you guys too. By the way, now that we've formed a Master Group, there must be corresponding rules. Our Master Group will only recruit 7 people, and everyone is equal, including me as the leader. Everyone must share information and keep it secret. Our goal is for all 7 of us to become Grand Masters, no one can be left behind. Of course, we have zero tolerance for betrayal and deception. No one is allowed to betray or deceive their comrades for any reason. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Anyone who does anything that harms the Master Group will be wanted by everyone. Is that alright?

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): No problem.

No reply means he's brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): No problem.

Gathering all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Okay. Of course, we're not obligated to discuss the strength of each Servant. Everyone can reveal it publicly if they wish, or not if they don't.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): I disagree with that. Since everyone is already prepared to work together to the end, this information sharing seems necessary to me. Let me start with myself. I currently have three Servants: Diarmuid, Andersen, and Blackbeard.

Xia Yan didn't expect Feng Yan to be so direct.

Actually, he originally intended to disclose the information, but considering that the Master Group had just been established, doing so might make the other two have concerns, so he did not act too forcefully. However, after Feng Yan set an example, he and Lan Muyan felt embarrassed not to speak up.

No reply means I'm brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): It's okay to go public, as long as everyone is honest and open about it. I currently only have two Servants: Okita Souji and Robin Hood.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): I now have four Servants: Morgan, Cú Chulainn, Musashi, and Euryale.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): Xia Yan, how come you have another follower? Are you cheating?

No reply means they're brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): I think so too.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): It's alright, hahaha.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): Damn it, this guy got his act together.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Okay, let's end this topic here and move on to the next one. Considering the possibility of conflicting trial quests as the number of people increases, I suggest everyone prepare a teleportation orb as a backup, or as insurance. If a quest conflict does occur later, we'll analyze the specific situation. However, please inform each other in the group whether you've purchased a teleportation orb. Any questions?

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): No problem. I've already bought it.

No reply means he's brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): No problem. Wait a minute, I'll buy one now.

No reply means he's brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): I've bought it.

Xia Yan also bought one. Although 50 points wasn't cheap, it was something he could afford now.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): I've bought them too. These are the rules I can think of for now. We can discuss any issues in the group later.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): I have no problem.

No reply means he's brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): I have no problem either. Can I ask a question now?

Xia Yan saw that Lan Muyan was about to ask a question and already guessed what he was going to ask.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): You want to know how to obtain Servants, right?

No reply means they're brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): Yes.

Collecting Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Currently, I know of two methods. One is to befriend compatible Servants in the Trials and then invite them; the other is to use Summoning Tickets. However, aside from Morgan, who was summoned at the very beginning, all four of my Servants were invited through Trials. I estimate that the success rate of Summoning Tickets is so low that only the luckiest players can succeed. By the way, there are actually two types of Trials: the regular Trials we participate in and the hidden Trials. In my experience, the hidden Trial unlocked after completing a stronghold in the Holy Grail Front. I unlocked the hidden Trial by accident, so I can't guarantee that all the conditions I mentioned will be met.

After Xia Yan finished sharing his experience, the chat group was silent for a moment.

No reply means he's brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): Um, I'd like to ask, what is the Holy Grail Front?

Xia Yan was taken aback, then realized that even now, not everyone knew about the hidden mode of the Holy Grail Wars.

Xia Yan didn't hide anything and told Lan Muyan how to start the Holy Grail War.

Afterwards, Feng Yan and Lan Muyan asked Xia Yan some more questions about his experience of starting the hidden trial, and Xia Yan answered all the questions he could.

The first group chat of "Lighthouse" has come to an end.

While Xia Yan was communicating with the other two Masters, Morgan quietly flipped through a book called "A Midsummer Night's Dream," occasionally sipping a sip of red tea.

During this time, Euryale came to see Xia Yan several times, wanting him to sing karaoke with her, but seeing that Xia Yan was busy, she went to play games with Cú Chulainn and Musashi after they finished mopping the floor.

"Morgan, what's the training plan for this vacation?"

Xia Yan noticed that Morgan was acting out of character this time, not pulling Xia Yan aside to discuss the training plan.

"I didn't make a training plan. What, you want special training now?"

"No, I didn't, I was just asking."

Xia Yan quickly responded with three polite responses.

"Look how scared you are. I don't think you have any time left for training. Managing the Masters, exploring the Holy Grail Front, and just needing some relaxation will fill up your seven days."

Morgan is right. Xia Yan has more and more things to do now. Although she wants to continue to improve Xia Yan's strength, as Xia Yan's number of Servants increases and his strength grows, special training is no longer the top priority.

"Anyway, get a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we'll explore the Holy Grail front first."

Xia Yan had saved up a full ten summoning tickets, enough for a ten-pull. As an FGO player, who could resist the temptation of gacha pulls?

In a room with unknown coordinates

"BB, it's about time you sent me some help. I have to guard the gate for the Emperor Flower and kill viruses in various trials. I'm simply too busy!"

Lilith complained to BB, who was sitting at the control panel.

"Okay, okay. Didn't I already assign Parsons to guard the goal? I'll send some more clones to assist. You just focus on killing the virus."

BB was typing on the keyboard at the control panel, seemingly inputting some program.

Seeing BB's attitude, Lilith snorted and turned to leave.

Before leaving, she said to BB, "The virus in the trials has been showing an increasing trend recently, so it's about time you released the Candy Vine."

BB did not reply.

After Lilith had been gone for a long time, BB finally stopped what he was doing and imported the newly designed program into the system.

"Candy vines?"

BB pondered for a moment, then stood up helplessly.

"If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, I really wouldn't want to release another problem. In that case, why don't I just release Violet as well? Ugh, why do all my clones have problems?"

BB disappeared on the spot while complaining, leaving behind only an empty control panel and a display screen flashing with the program loading information.

In this space where you could hear a pin drop, a paper shikigami cautiously emerged from the shadows behind the control panel.

After looking around and finding no one, it tucked itself into the external device interface of the control panel.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for a paper doll to fit itself inside, but this paper doll shikigami not only managed to fit itself inside, but also digitized itself and invaded the system.

Seeing that the program was about to finish reading, the data-driven paper doll shikigami rushed over without hesitation.
