The Pull Is Equal for Everyone (Part 2)
Yes, I couldn't possibly get full from the first sip.
My first 10-pull had been a complete disaster.
Galaxy Express seemed to grade characters and items using stars instead.
There were five rarities, from three to five stars, and the one I had been aiming for — Cerre — was a five-star character.
And just now, in my ten-pull, I had gotten one four-star character.
Remembering that the point of the pull was to get a five-star character, I had to admit this was a failure.
Whew... it's fine! I only just completed my tenth pull! And I have plenty of money!
Honestly, if I still didn't get the character I wanted after eighty pulls, I wasn't going to continue this game.
It wasn't about having forty billion won — that was separate — but more of a feeling thing.
Anyway, let's spin again.
With hands still trembling, I pulled ten more times.
Two two two two two!
The Galaxy Express pull screen was more flashy than any game I had played before.
The train crossing the galaxy made a squeak as it stopped, its doors bursting open and stirring up enormous anticipation.
Come out...! Cerre! Come out! If I had already spent twelve thousand won at the start of the game, it should have come out as a service reward, right?
I'm rich!
If it looks pretty, I'll keep paying the maintenance fee...
Huh?!
Two ru ru ru!
The pull animation this time was completely different from before.
Last time it had been purple light with an open door, but now golden light suddenly burst forth.
No matter how I thought about it, golden light was the color for five-star characters!
Oh, oh oh... oh oh?!
Two ru! Chaang!
Quantum-Hunt
Cerre
What, what?! It actually came out right away?!
I shot up from my seat in shock and clapped my hands.
After twenty pulls?! Really?! No way, this game is way too generous!
Wow... crazy... In the old days when I pulled for lucky bags or whatever, I always got trash and it would make my stomach twist...
My heart was racing dangerously fast.
My whole body tingled, with sweat starting from my armpits and trickling down my neck and chest.
This... this is what they call dopamine?!
The true flavor of gambling...!
It couldn't possibly come out with this probability, could it?
No matter how I thought about it, there was no way to get a pickup character in just twenty pulls.
It had to be because my luck was ridiculously good!
If I went around bragging about this, I'd get called a madman and blocked everywhere!
Haha... haha... hahahaha!! I recognize the young lady! Galaxy Express!!!
I clapped my hands rapidly with both of mine, the sound echoing as I typed furiously.
First! Let me look at Cerre's face!
Cerre — New!!!
The character selection window showed the fresh Cerre sparkling brightly.
Mmm... looking at her like this, she really dresses like a total perv.
Cerre, when I examined her closely, really wore an extremely perverted outfit.
With purple hair, she wore a fluttering coat, yet underneath it was a pristine white high-leg swimsuit.
In the world... who wears high-leg swimsuits with these hot pants? And her chest is barely covered by a bra?!
It wasn't as exaggerated as the first woman I saw, but the design still felt pretty good.
At least I had pulled it with force. I didn't feel like it had been a waste at all.
And her passive was definitely a scam...
General Attack, Combat Skill, and Ultimate Skill — after defeating an enemy, immediately gain one extra turn and enter an amplified state.
Yes! I hadn't misjudged her at all! Even just defeating the enemy gives a turn right away — there really is no such scam character!
Would it be okay to release a character like this in a turn-based game?!
How do I level up in this game?
Couldn't I just like the old games, level them one by one in dungeons?
That sounded so annoying. But the one with experience books sounded easier.
Ah, right... I could just level her up by dumping all my materials.
I dumped every material I had and raised Cerre to level twenty-two.
I had wanted to go to forty, but I had no materials, so it was impossible.
Then let's start by filling the empty slots like always.
I wasn't a complete newbie to mobile games, so I knew exactly what to do next.
This wasn't an old man who had just started playing mobile games.
What equipment should I equip? Do I have to pay for it? Is this a game where I need to buy weapons and armor separately?
Sure enough, equipment existed.
Galaxy Express clearly had both character pulls and equipment pulls.
This game calls weapons light cones, doesn't it?
Of course I had to pull for a weapon right away.
A soldier heading to war can't fight without a weapon —
Wait, wait! Seah! Pull yourself together! We're still just farming! What if I get carried away and start throwing money around?!
I urgently patted my own fair cheeks.
I hadn't even checked yet whether Cerre was good or trash!
Even if I had infinite money, I couldn't buy trash!
... Well, I had already bought it, but I couldn't make the same mistake again!
First, calm down and do a performance test.
My dopamine was flowing nonstop and my heart was pounding like crazy, so I had to act on it!
First, let's check the dungeon that gives experience books to level up characters.
I had a protagonist character who was completely broken in terms of physics.
Physics and quantum seemed like fire, light, and darkness elements.
Hunt and Destruction seemed like warrior and thief classes.
Hunt had extraordinary single-target damage, and Destruction had massive attack and survival power.
Destruction already smelled like a jack-of-all-trades? A bit of a tank with damage?
Such classes were either good damage dealers who tank or trash that couldn't tank and deal damage.
Still, I only had this one leveled up, so I decided to experiment.
I opened the map and entered the dungeon that gave an experience book with a single click.
Oh...! Cerre is so pretty! The protagonist is pretty too, but he definitely gets the value for money!
The protagonist holding a baseball bat and Cerre striking a cool pose with her scythe were hard to compare.
First, let's try using the protagonist's combat skill right away...
Characters in Galaxy Express had three skills: normal attack, combat skill, and ultimate.
Normal attack was just basic attack.
Combat skill required skill points to use.
Ultimate was like the games I used to play, where you had to fill the gauge.
Taste this!
The protagonist's combat skill was a cool multi-hit that smacked three enemies at once.
Mmm... I get the feel.
Next!
Cerre's combat skill, on the other hand, slashed one enemy cleanly with her scythe.
But it didn't end there.
While the protagonist had only chipped away at the enemy's health by about thirty percent, Cerre instantly killed it.
Was this the difference between hunt and destruction?!
A single breath!
Suddenly, a purple light flashed across the screen.
And, of course, Cerre's turn began again.
Ooh ooh! She really gets an extra turn just by defeating the enemy?!
It was strong. I really liked it.
Could I even release a character this good in a turn-based game?
Well, as a dealer, she would probably be retired later, but I could use her for a while.
Dealers feel weak the moment the game messes with them a little, but this extra-turn property was definitely going to last a long time!
Her speech was a bit rough, but... I liked her! Cerre!
I bet I could use her for about two years in the field.
Cerre's performance was really satisfying.
Galaxy Express was a turn-based game, but it surprisingly had an auto-battle function, so clearing dungeons was a breeze.
Haa... But this is performance without a weapon?
The next most important thing after a character was weapons.
In the Fate game I used to play, there were people who kept pulling because they couldn't get the weapon equivalent, experience.
So, let's taste what Cerre's weapon feels like.
I clicked the light-cone pull below the character window and checked her performance.
Under the Starry Night
Increases critical hit chance of equipped character by 18%.
Oh? Critical hit chance? This is important. Games with a 100% critical rate are a given.
When equipped character's speed is over 100 during combat, every 10 points above 100 increases damage of normal and combat skills, and critical damage of ultimate. Maximum 6 stacks.
It had a weird function where higher speed equals stronger damage? Hold on... but Cerre could increase her speed on her own?
I suddenly felt like I had solved a cool puzzle.
The weapon that came with Cerre... I mean, the light-cone option — the more speed it gave, the more damage it did?
It must have been designed to work with one of her skills.
Clearly made by the game company to make the fun of spending money feel right.
Ah... there it was.
Combat Skill
Increases Cerre's speed by 25% and deals quantum attribute damage equal to attack power to a designated single enemy. Duration of speed boost: 2 turns.
Speed... it increases? Then this light-cone can only be used by Cerre who can raise her speed?
To put it bluntly, it's an exclusive weapon... an exclusive light-cone?
Hahaha... I've already thrown twelve thousand won, so let's throw it in generously.
The corners of my mouth twitched.
In the old mobile games, I would never have pulled because this feeling came, but...
After all, the money is coming out of Kwon Seah's account! Who is going to complain about this?!
... Grandpa or Kwon Siyoung? No, they wouldn't.
After all, twelve thousand won was nothing to me? Yesterday I broke a one-million-won bottle of perfume!
Twelve thousand won was already spent money.
What I was about to spend now was just digital currency in the game.
It was already in my hand! If I ordered chicken, I had to eat it, right?!
Great! Let's pull! I have money, and I can't buy an exclusive light-cone ambiguously!
This time, how many pulls until it comes out?
Twenty pulls honestly wasn't something I wanted.
Let's be generous... forty pulls! Yeah! If I can get it in fifty pulls with just a little help, that's fine!
I shouted as if casting a spell and pressed the pull button without another thought.
Here we go...! Let's do this!!!
I couldn't refuse to give a gun to a soldier heading to war!
Cerre, wait! I'll pull your exclusive light-cone right now...!
