Big clients like Diluc and Ningguang, who casually spend billions, are rare.
Though few in number, they are truly extravagant!
Not only do they need 100,000 consecutive draws, but Lu Heng himself actually needs them too.
Among the people who come to draw cards daily, the vast majority are ordinary folks trying their luck, with a small number of wealthy merchants and nobles.
They provide Lu Heng with a massive number of draws, accumulating every moment!
In a single day, across two shops, they've supplied Lu Heng with nearly 200,000 draws.
After some thought...
When Diluc finished his thirtieth 10,000-draw, Lu Heng spoke up: "Do you need a 100,000 consecutive draw function?"
This suggestion was quite niche.
At the very least, Zhongli and the others fell silent after hearing it.
It was obvious that the 100,000 consecutive draw button wasn't meant for them!
It was for rich guys like Diluc!
"A 100,000 consecutive draw?"
Diluc thought for a moment and nodded: "Sure."
This was similar to gacha games in a way.
Single draws were a slow death, while 10-draws led to quick despair.
Though the process of drawing cards was exciting, doing them one by one still felt too slow.
But if there was a button to settle things in a few clicks... Well, at least it would be efficient.
The next moment.
A 100,000 consecutive draw button appeared on Diluc's draw interface.
Without hesitation, he clicked it.
Instantly, golden light erupted!
"Given that gold cards appear on average every few ten thousand draws, a 100,000 consecutive draw should almost guarantee one, right?" Venti chimed in.
"If luck is good, that's about right."
"However, if luck is bad, a single 100,000 draw might just go down the drain."
This method only sped up the process.
Diluc stared at the single gold card from his 100,000 consecutive draw.
He fell into deep thought.
A gold card every few ten thousand draws on average?
Who said that?
After drawing that Life Extension Pill card earlier, he'd only gotten one gold card in 200,000 draws.
Clearly, luck varied from person to person.
Lu Heng appraised the five-star gold card.
The card depicted a clenched fist mid-punch.
[Intentional Heavy Punch]
[Rank]: 5-Star Gold
[Type]: [Skill Card]
[Trait]: [Charge]
[Description]: "What are you mumbling? I can't understand! Take this punch first!"
Huh?
Sett?
No!
Lu Heng pondered.
The principle was similar, but not the same.
Simply put, this was a skill that delivered a devastatingly powerful attack after charging up.
"This is pretty good, great burst potential," Lu Heng commented.
Who would dare mock Master Diluc as a primitive now?
Now, standing before you is: Trisolaran • Mondstadt Fist Saint • Flash Ambush Burst King • Diluc!
Stand under the Statue of the Seven to ensure full HP, then—Five Spirit Lightning Body!
Covered in lightning, especially the arms charging with energy.
Intentional Heavy Punch!
When the charge nears its peak—
Mountain Seal Technique!
Boosts power even further.
Flash!
Instantly appears in the Abyss Floor 12, throwing a punch the moment the battle starts!
This punch would blow the entire floor to smithereens!
What about the greatsword?
Without relevant cards, of course he wouldn't use it!
As for Diluc, would he still rely on his elemental skills and bursts?
He'd just turn to you and say: "Visions are too weak, I'm switching to cards now!"
This wasn't a joke.
These days, anyone with a few three-star or higher cards—
Who would still use a Vision?
Of course, if the opponent was weak, using cards might obliterate them entirely, leaving no corpse behind. In that case, a Vision might be preferable.
After all, what if you needed to keep the body intact?
Another scenario: if card combat was evenly matched, then non-card systems could be considered. Though the systems weren't compatible, using them together wouldn't cause conflicts.
...
Diluc confirmed: this card was strong!
Combined with Mountain Seal Technique, it was even stronger!
If there were more skills like Mountain Seal Technique, they could be stacked!
Whether others could do it was unclear, but cards didn't follow logic. The only limit to stacking cards was the number of equipment slots!
Diluc's gaze returned to the counter.
Now, he still had 100,000 draws left.
After a brief thought, he decisively clicked the 100,000 consecutive draw button.
Golden light flashed.
This 100,000 consecutive draw yielded only one gold card.
Lu Heng appraised it.
A material-type item card—useful, but not at the moment.
In summary, out of 200,000 draws, Diluc got eight five-star gold cards.
Compared to Ningguang's 13 gold cards from 4 billion Mora, Diluc's gold rate seemed low.
But his gold cards had high utility!
Of the eight gold cards, the last material card was temporarily unusable but still valuable. Only the Evil God Residue was completely useless to him, so he chose to dismantle it.
The immediately usable ones were:
[Mountain Seal Technique], [Life Goddess's Blessing], [Five Spirit Lightning Body], [Flash], [Life Extension Pill], [Intentional Heavy Punch]!
No defensive cards, but there was an AoE healing card.
"Very strong," Lu Heng remarked. "You can queue up too."
"Queue up?"
Diluc was puzzled.
Zhongli: "..."
Are we bringing up challenging Morax again?
Venti gleefully explained to Diluc.
Diluc understood.
With several five-star gold cards now, once his equipment improved, he'd have Archon-level combat power!
Without another word, Diluc sent the unusable cards picked out by the head maid to the card dismantler.
Next was the tedious process of filtering, dismantling, and upgrading equipment!
Tartaglia watched from the side.
His interest in Diluc grew stronger.
Not in a romantic way, but in a "I want to fight him" way.
"Friend, how about a spar later?" Tartaglia asked eagerly.
Diluc glanced at him.
Diluc had no goodwill toward the Fatui.
He simply asked: "How much have you been involved in the Fatui's affairs?"
"Huh?"
Tartaglia paused, then replied: "Which ones?"
"Delusions, orphans, human experiments..."
Diluc spoke coldly.
Tartaglia waved his hand: "Those have nothing to do with me. Not that I'm distancing myself from the Fatui, but I've never been involved in those things!"
Tartaglia was a pure warrior.
Like a blade, he followed the Tsaritsa's orders without question.
Delusions? The Tsaritsa granted him an Executive-grade one, among the best.
Orphans? That was the Knave's business. The previous Knave loved creating war orphans to recruit for the Fatui.
But the current Knave didn't do that. Of course, espionage still happened—but every faction did that.
As for human experiments...
"Many of those things are tied to the Doctor," Tartaglia shrugged.
Tartaglia knew well that to the other six nations, the Fatui were no friendly force.
They were wolves and tigers, circling the six nations to achieve their goals.
But regardless, he wouldn't take the blame for things he didn't do!
"The Doctor, Dottore..."
Diluc knew of him.
Years ago, Dottore deliberately lured the demon dragon Ursa, forcing Diluc's father, Crepus, to use a Delusion to protect the caravan. The backlash left Crepus in agony, begging Diluc to end his suffering.
Without a doubt, Dottore was Diluc's archenemy.
"Where is he?" Diluc asked.
"Which one?"
"?"
Tartaglia explained: "Dottore sliced himself at different stages into segments. Think of it as dozens of Dottores with different personalities and agendas existing in this world."
"Honestly, aside from meetings, I've barely seen him." Tartaglia shook his head. "If you're asking where he is, all I know is one of his segments might appear in Sumeru someday."
"That's enough." Diluc nodded.
If Dottore had segments, at least he could exact revenge on each one.
Diluc wouldn't fully trust Tartaglia's words. He'd investigate through his own channels and then strike!
"Friend, I've told you so much. How about that spar?" Tartaglia rubbed his hands eagerly.
As for leaking intel about his colleagues... Ha, did anyone think Tartaglia was loyal to the Fatui?
Tartaglia's allegiance had always been solely to the Tsaritsa!
Diluc studied Tartaglia.
A spar would be a good way to gauge his progress.
But...
"Don't worry!"
Tartaglia spread his arms, his golden equipment manifesting. Several gold cards with visible info spun around him.
"Fine." Diluc agreed.
