FATE: Target of Grand Master

Seeing Xia Yan standing there, staring intently at him, Morgan realized that he was only wearing a bath towel, and his delicate face immediately flushed red.

"I appeared here after leaving that tiny singularity. I waited for you for quite a while but you didn't return, so I took the liberty of using your bathroom for a bath. I hope you don't mind?"

"Not at all, not at all. It would be an honor for my humble abode to have His Majesty Morgan take a bath."

Xia Yan's flattering words displeased Morgan.

"Master, this is neither my palace nor a battlefield. You need not be so reserved."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In fact, Morgan didn't know that Xia Yan's restraint at this moment was not due to the so-called etiquette between ruler and subject, but rather the inevitable reaction of a healthy male when facing a beautiful girl who was only wrapped in a bath towel.

Who can remain calm, composed, and excited in such a situation?

Even so, Xia Yan still came up with a lame excuse to ease the situation.

"Your Majesty, your formal attire must be quite troublesome to put on. If you don't mind, you can wear my casual clothes for now."

But Xia Yan regretted it as soon as he said it.

This is Morgan, how could she possibly want her own clothes? Besides, it's not even certain if there are any of her own clothes in this safe house.

Surprisingly, Morgan agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master. For some reason, I can't use my magic here."

So Xia Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the bedroom wardrobe. Fortunately, there were still some of his clothes inside.

After getting a set of clothes that he thought would suit Morgan, Xia Yan waited in the living room for Morgan to come out of the bathroom.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The bathroom door opened, and a silver-haired girl wearing a slightly oversized blue and white hoodie and jeans came out.

Morgan's slender, jade-like feet, clad in slippers, made a soft, slapping sound on the floor, each step seeming to pound on Xia Yan's heart.

This outfit suits me perfectly, I'm such a genius!

Seeing Xia Yan staring at him without moving, Morgan couldn't help but look down at his own clothes.

"Is that strange?"

"No, not at all surprising. This outfit suits Your Majesty perfectly."

After confirming that Xia Yan wasn't flattering him, Morgan showed a slightly relaxed expression.

"Master, since this isn't an occasion for formalities between ruler and subject, we don't need to be so formal with our titles. You can just call me Morgan, and I'll just call you Xia Yan, is that alright?"

It was only then that Xia Yan finally realized that Morgan's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.

Well, how should I put it?

If in the previous Minor Singularity, Morgan showed more of his powerful and ruthless side, then now Morgan shows more of his kind and approachable side.

Something must have caused Morgan's attitude towards him to change.

"Your Majesty, no, Morgan, has something happened since you arrived here?"

"It's not a big deal, but after arriving here, my mind was filled with information about the Master selection process. I learned that you are also one of the Masters who will participate in this brutal selection, and as the first Servant you summon, I have an obligation to push you to the throne of Grand Master."

Grand Master?

In fact, Xia Yan hadn't thought that far ahead. After all, with a probability of 7 in 80 billion, the probability of winning the lottery could be considered a high-probability event.

"Actually, I never thought I would survive this Master selection. I'll just live one more day at a time."

"No!"

Morgan's tone instantly became assertive.

"You are my Master, so I must place you on the throne of Grand Master, swearing in the name of Morgan le Fay."

Morgan herself couldn't explain why she said that. It seemed that in addition to her dignity as a queen, she also wanted to make up for the regrets she had when she was the savior in the distant past.

Touched by Morgan's words, Xia Yan seemed to have a renewed hope of surviving to the very end.

He first checked the house in the safe house and found nothing unusual except for an extra baby doll.

The moment you touch the baby doll, it emits the baby's familiar voice.

"Congratulations on unlocking the Safe House feature. The Safe House is the base for each Master. You can change the layout and add furniture to the interior by calling BB Voice Assistant for free. The Servants you summon in various trials will also appear here. BB believes that through living together day and night, the bond between Master and Servant will deepen, which will help Master cooperate with Servant in future trials."

After listening to the explanation of the BB doll, Xia Yan tentatively called out, "BB!"

"Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"

The doll responded just like a voice assistant.

"Please add a single chair that's exactly the same as the one in the living room."

"Yes, senior."

As soon as the doll finished speaking, a brand-new single chair appeared in the living room.

Well, at least I won't have to stand when I talk to Morgan anymore.

After giving the new single chair to Morgan, Xia Yan returned to his familiar chair, pondering how to spend the next six days.

"Xia Yan, my advice is not to waste these 6 days. Find any opportunity to improve yourself. BB set up a 6-day interval not simply to let the Master rest."

Xia Yan agreed with Morgan's point of view, so he summoned BB again and asked to check his own attributes.

As Xia Yan expected, a message box appeared in front of him.

[Master Attributes]

Master's Name: Xia Yan

[Master Level: Last Son]

Current Master Points: 5

[Cumulative Master Points: 10]

[Trait: Intuition E]

【Craft Essence: None】

[Item: None]

Very well, being penniless perfectly describes Xia Yan's current situation.

Xia Yan noticed that a new trait, Intuition, had appeared in his trait column. This was a very useful skill. Back then, Artoria had dodged Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm attack thanks to this skill. However, he didn't know how he had obtained this trait.

If this trait can be acquired multiple times or its grade can be upgraded, then one's strength as a Master will be greatly enhanced.

Oh, and also the following costumes and items—we should ask about how to obtain them.

So, Xia Yan threw all the questions he had just thought of at BB.

"The traits you currently possess were randomly bestowed upon each Master by BB-chan before the previous trials. You're quite lucky, aren't you? Intuition is a very useful trait. As for upgrading its rank, I'm afraid BB-chan has no advice to offer. You might as well explore it yourself."

The same goes for the costumes; please explore them further, senior. As for items, senior should already know one way to obtain them: purchasing them from the shop. Of course, there are other ways as well. Kind BB-chan can only reveal this much; good luck, senior!

BB's answer was essentially meaningless. The only thing that could be confirmed was that there must be ways to obtain traits, craft essences, and items, and that BB had deliberately hidden them.
