Chapter 10: [10] Another Gacha Draw!
Arriving at his residence, August pushed open the door and took a glance. Though small, it had everything one needed.
The room wasn't spacious, consisting of just one room and a bathroom. There was a bed, a table, a chair, and even a bookshelf.
Simple decorations, a well-made bed, and a blanket, everything seemed intriguing.
Clearly, the place had just been cleaned.
Without wasting words, August took off his blood-soaked clothes and tossed them aside, preparing to take a good bath.
After all, being covered in monster blood during battles might not feel so bad, but the journey had been quite taxing.
After a refreshing bath and tidying up, August sat on the bed, opened the system, and awaited the thrill of three ordinary card draws.
"System! Start drawing gacha!"
"O`Goddess of Fortune, O`Gacha's Personification, lend me your strength, bring forth my luck, RNGesus!"
As August recited the 'incantation,' the gacha-drawing interface appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining items: Coke *100!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining items: Fried Chicken Family Bucket *100!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a skill: Blink!]
[Blink: Perform short-distance teleportation, the farther the distance, the more magic power consumed!]
August looked at this scene and was rendered speechless. Three draws, all the lowest-tier ordinary draws, but seriously? Two draws for food and drink.
Coke! Fried Chicken Family Bucket! Not to mention the previous french fries!
Alright, the three essential elements for stay at home were all gathered.
If this were still the modern world, he could just turn on the computer, switch on the air conditioner, and close the door. No one would be able to disturb him.
Taking out a bucket of fried chicken and a can of coke, it had already been a day since he had a proper meal. He had engraved the blessings in the morning, then went to the guild to level up, and finally, ventured into the dungeon.
August hadn't eaten a single mouthful all day, and he was famished.
"Mmm~ This taste is just right. A bite of fried chicken, a sip of coke, if only I smoked, it would truly be heavenly bliss!"
Eating fried chicken and drinking coke, August's face displayed sheer enjoyment.
When is food the most delicious? When you're hungry. Even a plain bun becomes a delicacy when you're desperately hungry because it helps you survive.
In fact, a bucket of fried chicken wasn't much. As for coke, it wasn't bottled, it was canned, and there weren't many.
However, there was a banquet in the evening, so August didn't eat too much, he just wanted to fill his stomach.
[Name: Augustus Divus Pracentum]
[Level: Level 1]
[Bloodline: Ordinary Human]
[Talent: None]
[Skill: Blink]
[Equipment: Tears of the Goddess (134/750)]
[Noble Phantasm: Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure]
[Items: None]
[Gacha Draws: None]
[Note: A lucky scum with good luck~]
One piece of treasure, one piece of equipment, one skill—these were all that August currently possessed.
Oh, right! There were also 99 buckets of fried chicken, 99 cans of coke, and 99 packs of french fries.
The only thing that made August happy was that the Tears of the Goddess had accumulated to the 134th.
Although there was still a considerable distance from 750, achieving 134 in one day meant that 750 weren't too far off.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Hmm? Is there something with Riveria?"
With a hint of confusion, August opened the door. After all, he had just moved in, and Riveria was the only one who knew he lived here.
However, upon opening the door, no one was in sight.
Standing in front was none other than the Familia leader, Finn. Behind him was a cat-eared catkin.
"Captain, why are you here?"
August looked at Finn with slight surprise. In Loki's Familia, the one who dealt with the most affairs was undoubtedly this small person, the familia leader.
As the captain, he was responsible for the familia's affairs, and there were many documents to deal with every day.
"I heard from Riveria that you're back, and your clothes are soaked in blood, so I brought you some clothes!"
"It's really troubling, Captain, to make you run over!"
"It's nothing. Since you've joined the familia, we're all family, Aki!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The cat girl on the side handed over a bag containing a set of men's clothing.
And this cat girl named 'Aki' also looked curiously at August.
Anakitty Autumn, a member of Loki's familia's second team, a level 4 adventurer.
In Orario, she held the title of 'Alchat.' She held a commanding position in the familia and was one of the top adventurers at level 4. Affectionately referred to as 'Aki' by her familiamates.
She had learned some information from Finn and knew that he had been personally recruited into the familia by Lady Riveria, just obtained a blessing with an extremely rare skill, and now the captain himself was delivering clothes to him.
All these events connected, indicating that this newcomer was not simple.
"Really, thank you, Captain!"
"It's a small matter. I chose a slightly larger size for the clothes, as I didn't know your size."
"Bigger sizes are more comfortable, and if Captain didn't bring me clothes, I wouldn't know what to do. After all, I didn't prepare any spare clothes."
"That's good to hear. By the way, I've already informed Gareth. Later, go find him and get a batch of weapons. According to Riveria, your fighting style is too burdensome for you in the early stages."
"No need for that, Captain. I just got five longswords. Getting more would be too much."
"It's just a few weapons. When you reach level 3, you'll have to return them all. Don't complain about being tired by then."
"We're all family, it's only natural to help each other."
Finn smiled, and August smiled too.
On the side, Aki was puzzled and couldn't understand what these two were talking about.
But she also noticed that Finn highly valued August. Personally delivering clothes, and even asking Gareth to prepare a batch of weapons for him, was truly giving respect.
After all, it wasn't just one or two weapons, it was a batch of weapons.
As the person involved, August understood very well that Finn was trying to show goodwill and build friendship with him.
Because August's value was indeed too significant. Possessing a spatial skill and an extraordinary aptitude, combining the two made Finn have to take August seriously.
As for Finn's goodwill, August naturally accepted it with pleasure.
There's a saying that goes, "If there's a bargain, don't be a bastard." Currently, he was still in the early stages, and when he developed in the future, he could return a hundredfold.
This was also a kind of tacit understanding between the two, man-to-man understanding.
As for romantic feelings and such, August had just joined. Matters of the heart were just empty talk for now.
