After all, for Punishing: Gray Raven and Uma Musume Girls, which have fewer members, it wouldn't make a big difference if they worked hard for a day or two longer to get Li Chaoge to pick one person from their faction.

However, from an overall perspective, they are actually more behind other forces.

Because the two of them definitely can't beat the other five or six people. Others can add one more person in a day if they work hard, while you've only added one friend in two or three days, while the others have already added several.

The more people there are, the better their physical condition, and the more proactive they are towards Li Chaoge, the greater this advantage will become, like a snowball rolling downhill.

The only way to curb this trend is to increase the cost of summoning.

This is actually a good thing for Li Chaoge, as he will no longer enjoy the increasingly harmful exploitation while experiencing both pain and pleasure.

Of course, it's a bit awkward for those who want their other partners to come quickly but aren't lucky enough to get the items. The drop rate is fixed; some people are unlucky while others are lucky. If they see someone with incredible luck, they might get frustrated.

"Considering that the lottery is somewhat based on luck, I also thought about a guaranteed minimum."

"If you don't win for a week, you'll get a guaranteed summon next time. I'll make sure to set aside this guaranteed amount."

As Li Chaoge spoke, he observed the changes in everyone's expressions. One guaranteed spot per week should be enough. There shouldn't be several factions that are so unlucky. There would have to be one faction that is extremely lucky.

Hmm...super lucky, incredibly lucky...

Li Chaoge's gaze involuntarily fell on Kiana; he remembered that Kiana was an extremely lucky person.

However, Kiana never won as much as Heinrich and Luminous when she went out to eat and play lotteries with him before, so maybe her luck doesn't work in this world.

"Once a week, I think that's fine."

As a staunch supporter of the commander, Lucia was the first to express her opinion.

She wanted Liv to come over. Although Vera and Number 21 were all nice, she still wanted Liv to meet the lively and safe Commander and enjoy his warm embrace.

Selena nodded slightly without objecting. She didn't have any objections. Although her best friend from the arts association, Ella, seemed to have a bit of a crush on the conductor, she wouldn't insist on having Ella come over. Ella didn't have such a distinctive feature here, making it difficult to attract the conductor.

Mi Yu and Mubai McQueen had no objections. They were the weakest in this regard, and Li Chaoge didn't have to put in much effort to deal with them. Now that they had a safety net, it would be even better.

While one spot per week is a bit slow, that's what makes it a guaranteed minimum. If the frequency of draws and summons were higher than normal, what kind of guaranteed minimum would that be?

The others pondered for a moment and then slowly nodded, agreeing to the lottery plan.

Of course, most importantly, everyone has an unspoken understanding—the more people come, the less time each person will have to spend with Li Chaoge. If the summoning speed is slowed down, then their time will naturally not decrease as quickly.

Even Belfast, who believed her forces would ultimately prevail, longed for more peaceful time with the Commander.

"Wait, aren't we going to catch a plane tomorrow? What will happen to them if we summon them now?"

Seeing that everyone was only discussing how to summon without considering tomorrow's situation, Megumi McQueen quietly reminded them.

"That is a problem."

Bronya was taken aback. A few days ago, she was able to get newcomers on board, but now that the flight was scheduled to take off tomorrow and was already full, she couldn't possibly use the system to refund tickets for other people.

"...Have you forgotten about the Dust Song Pot? We're not going to keep the Dust Song Pot at home. As long as they get inside the Dust Song Pot, that's fine."

Mona glanced at Whitey McQueen and asked curiously.

"Uh......"

McQueen blushed instantly. Although she knew that the Dust Song Pot had a magical space and that she and Mi Yu had run freely inside it, her mind hadn't quite processed it yet, and she was subconsciously thinking about the issue of entering and leaving the country.

"Hehe, there's no point in just discussing this here. Let's summon them first and see who comes so we can then discuss what problems remain unresolved."

Belfast shook his head and laughed, changing the subject.

"Well, since everyone is okay with the lottery summoning, each of you can provide me with two names, and I'll put them in the group for a lucky draw."

Li Chaoge instructed that the quota should not be allocated according to the number of people, otherwise it would be the same as before.

"Yes, Commander."

"Hmm! The captain wants us to think about it carefully!"

"Dad, can I participate too?"

Seeing that everyone had split up to discuss, Sigma, who had been sitting on Li Chaoge's lap swinging her fair legs, turned her head and looked at Li Chaoge with expectant eyes.

"Of course, you can also choose two spots to enter as Sigma, but you only have two chances to draw the lottery. Don't be sad if you don't win."

Li Chaoge smiled and patted Sigma's little head. Each faction has two selection slots, and Sigma belongs to the Otherworld Affairs Agency, so he naturally has two selection slots as well.

"Yes! Thank you, Dad!"

Sigma didn't care about that; she was delighted to hear that she could participate in the lucky draw with everyone and was thinking about which employee from her father's company she wanted to come over.

Xu Yun, the outstanding employee favored by Dad? Seraphim, the masochistic doll? Rosalia, the incredibly boring demon lord? Or Jia En, who should be ruled out first?

Li Chaoge ignored their discussion and instead took out his phone to look at his old game chat group. He stared at the silent chat group and remained silent.

Aside from the two designated summons that consume a total of four summoning energy, and the two random summons reserved for Ark and Honkai, he still has one energy left for a random summon. Could he choose to summon former group members, and randomly summon them from their group member list?

Looking at the names of the group members that he had initially thought were just indulging in role-playing chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) – Mikumiku, Gluttonous Yi, Aya, Aishi, Little Monster, Kaguya-hime… Li Chaoge secretly wondered if he could summon them by random summoning.

Compared to Kiana and the others, the games these people play are relatively niche. Apart from Kaguya, most of them rarely speak. He doesn't know what they're thinking, since some games aren't dating simulation games.

Chapter 189. Is this how you try to bask in someone's good fortune?! This is pure bravado!

Idol raising, ship girl raising, tactical doll raising... Compared to these raising games with clear affection increases, simple bullet hell games, adventure fighting games, etc., are indeed out of place with the people around him.

However, when Li Chaoge saw the name Aishe, who had almost never spoken in the group, he inexplicably felt that Aishe would meet him sooner or later.

Ashe is not the Queen of Freljord. This Ashe is the protagonist of a 2D side-scrolling action game called "ICEY," named after her.

There are no players in the game; players control Ashe to complete levels.

He didn't understand some of the obscure backstory in this game; he just played it like a fighting game.

In this kind of game, as long as he tries his best to keep 'Ashe' from getting hurt, he can just kill his way through and win the game.

However, when he played the game as Ashe to the later ending and found that he could no longer control the character and was about to be defeated, he discovered that Ashe was moving on her own.

The game character Ashe, acting on her own will, defeated the villain and even spoke to him off-screen.

"I've always wanted to tell you thank you."

"Although I am 'inside' and you are 'outside', I don't know why, but I can feel the connection between you and me."

"I've always been watching you. Thank you for being there for me all this time. Thank you for protecting me all this time. Thank you for helping me all this time."

"Although I can't cry, I can't laugh, and I can't even move my lips, I sincerely thank you and hope you can accept my gratitude."

"No matter how many hardships and obstacles I have encountered, it is because of you that I have been able to persevere. The time I have spent with you is the most precious part of all my memories."

"I have no hands to touch you, no legs to walk with you on the 'outside'."

"I don't have skin that can feel your body temperature, and even now, I can't even sense your real name."

"Because I am Ash, because I have no eyes of reality to see."

"So I must embark on my path, not just as 'Ashe,' but as 'me.'"

"I must see, experience, and shape my true self."

"I hope you can find your own path while you're out there."

"I will also pray here."

"I hope that one day we will meet again."

There may be other games with similar mechanics, but for him, who was experiencing a game that "breaks down barriers" for the first time, it was incredibly shocking.

He was touched by Ashe's unexpected confession; the game character was actually confessing to him, the player!

Although reason tells him that this is a pre-ordained story, but!

That was the first confession he ever received in his life!

Who would have thought that the first confession he received in his life would be from the virtual world?

Because ICEY is a single-player game, the story ends once you finish it, unlike online games where the story is constantly updated. After being moved for a while, Li Chaoge could only sigh that there would be no second part.

However, seeing the name Ashe now reminds him of the past that moved him deeply.

I wonder if Ashe is really looking for him...

"Dad! I've made up my mind!"

Hearing Sigma's voice in his ear, Li Chaoge pulled himself together and looked at Sigma in his arms, stroking her little head as he asked with a smile.

Who does Sigma want to come?

"Xu Yun and Jia En."

Sigma chuckled and rubbed against Li Chaoge's palm.

"Jane? Sigma, don't you dislike Jiaen?"

Li Chaoge was somewhat surprised. It wasn't hard to understand why Sigma wanted Xu Yun to come over, since Sigma was his daughter, and Xu Yun, that cunning and wicked woman, would definitely try to get on Sigma's good side.

However, Jiaen's personality is rather cold, or rather, somewhat aloof, and she's not very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Sigma and Jiaen don't get along very well, and they sometimes argue.

Yes, Sigma was arguing with Jiaen unilaterally because Jiaen is a cold girl who only gives a faint response to many things.

"Although I don't really like her, Jiaen probably misses her father a lot."

Sigma wrinkled her nose and whispered. She used to dislike Jia En, but after reading Jia En's information and learning that he was a war orphan with no one to rely on and that he was able to live a normal life with his father's help, she began to sympathize with him.

She misses her father terribly when he's not around. Even as an artificial intelligence, she feels this way, so Jiaen must also be suffering a lot.

"Putting yourself in someone else's shoes, right? Sigma is great."

Li Chaoge placed his hands under Sigma's armpits, lifted Sigma up, and kissed her soft little face hard.

He's growing to love his daughter more and more; this sweet little darling will never grow old!

"Hmm~ Because I'm Daddy's daughter~"

Sigma puffed out her chest proudly, her slender feet landing on Li Chaoge's thigh as she giggled.

"This father and daughter..."

Mei and Lucia looked at each other, and they both began to doubt whether they were really father and daughter.

Well... from an educational perspective, an AI raised by Li Chaoge would indeed resemble its biological offspring more than its biological children.

Seele looked at Sigma with envy, wishing she could be pampered like that by the captain and hugged in front of everyone.

Although she used to be the captain's little darling, compared to Sigma, who is the captain's daughter, she is no longer a suitable little darling.

"Ahem, has everyone finished discussing? Please hand over the list."

After playing around with Sigma for a while, Li Chaoge put Sigma down and sat down seriously to look at everyone.

Everyone handed over their lists. Li Chaoge rested his chin on Sigma's shoulder and looked down at the pile of lists.

Punishing: Gray Raven: Liv, Luna.

Liv, who is always being held back by the Commander, is Lucia's close comrade-in-arms. Luna, the upgraded Internet Agent, is Lucia's sister. Both of them have a close relationship with Lucia. Selena doesn't seem to have any feelings for her.

Honkai Impact: Fu Hua, Alicia.

Shenzhou Tablet Fu Hua, the immortal, is Kiana's old class monitor, which is normal. As for Pink Fairy Miss Alicia, it should be Mei who chose her, since the others don't know Alicia.

Ark: Skadi, Mudstone.

Skadi, the Orca, and Mudrock, the Sarkaz girl... well, they're both white-haired and red-eyed. It has to be said that Exusiai and the others have definitely targeted his weakness.

Although Skadi and Mudrock are both a bit slow and clumsy, not the proactive type, he would probably take the initiative if they came over.

After all, it was an irresistible temptation for him to let the pure and innocent blank paper be stained with his own colors.

FGO: Jeanne Alter, Anastasia.

One was the easiest woman to deceive in Chaldea, and the other was the youngest daughter of Nicholas II, the last emperor of the Romanov Empire.

The former, Jeanne Alter, is more famous, while the latter, Princess Elizabeth, is not as well-known. However, he likes them both quite a bit, especially the princess with her aloof and noble temperament.

It feels like they've figured out all his hobbies. Even though he didn't say anything, it's like they can read his mind.

Genshin Impact: Shen He, Ning Guang.

Shen He, who fell in love with him at first sight, and Ning Guang, a wealthy and elegant woman... well, let's not even talk about Shen He. Who could resist a cool and aloof fairy who puts all her heart into you?

As for Ningguang, the wealthy woman, most of his current funds come from the sale of jewelry sponsored by her. He'll have to treat her well now that she's here...

Uma Musume is the Silent Suzuka and the Yamato Akaki.

That's not a big problem. It's purely his personal hobby. Like everyone else, Mi Yu Xiao Zu Zong Mu Bai McQueen knows him very well.

Azure is Memphis META, a company.
