"Wow! My cheat is here!"
Su Chen was a little excited and quickly focused his consciousness inward.
[FGO Gacha System 1.0, at your service!]
[Host: Su Chen]
[Age: 22]
[Strength: E-]
[Endurance: E-]
[Agility: E-]
[Personal Space: Empty]
[Overall Evaluation: A sub-healthy rational individual from a non-magical world, sharing a key trait with current factions: broke.]
[Gacha Pool: Awaiting pull (First pull guaranteed gold), one free pull daily, 10 million Dennies per pull.]
...
Ignoring the system's precise yet insulting evaluation, Su Chen focused on other aspects.
"This is exactly like a certain gacha game, I swear!"
Su Chen's mouth twitched as he looked at the panel in front of him.
FGO was not a game where you could casually pull something good. When it went off-track, it could be more absurd than MiHoYo's gacha.
And this one was even crazier—the gacha pool included items from all worlds.
In other words, it could go absurdly off-track.
The only comfort? This system had a pity system.
First pull guarantees gold, 10 pulls guarantees purple, 30 pulls guarantees gold, 100 pulls allows gold pick. That part at least was very MiHoYo-like.
Why did the pity system comfort him?
Because he was the number-one African Chieftain of bad luck—he always needed pity to get results.
Just like when pulling for Nahida, the Dendro Archon and got Qiqi instead, or pulling weapons and ended up with Skyward Blade.
He'd heard tales of lucky bastards pulling Ellen Joe in 30 pulls, getting three golds in 80.
They must be paid actors. Definitely rigged!
Screaming, writhing, lurking in the shadows.
Su Chen simply didn't believe anyone could be that lucky.
Now that there was a pity system, this ultra-unlucky man could finally breathe easy.
As for pulling chances, there were only two ways to obtain them: one free draw per day from the system, or exchange 10 million Dennies for a pull.
Ten million Dennies per pull wasn't that expensive—basically the value of 0.1 square meters of real estate in Zenless Zone Zero.
Of course, even 0.1 square meters was beyond what a ghost ID like him could dream of.
So, for now, he had to rely on the daily free pull from the system.
"It's already 11 o'clock, I better hurry and do today's pull."
Su Chen glanced at the time on the TV—11:02.
Pulls refreshed daily at midnight and could not be accumulated.
If he didn't draw today, he'd lose it.
And the first pull guaranteed a gold card. This could be his first stepping stone in New Eridu!
Su Chen switched to the gacha interface, where countless cards glimmered like the Milky Way.
Among them were character cards like [Morax], [Mills Young], [Saber], and item or ability cards like [Core of Reason], [Vision].
All-encompassing, nothing left out.
"First draw, guaranteed gold. Let's see if I feast like a king—or eat dirt!"
Su Chen slammed the draw button, praying in his heart.
In the next moment, blue and white sparks flashed, the light nearly blinding him.
A gold-rimmed card slowly turned, revealing a cold, sunglasses-wearing man in a leather coat.
"Huh?!"
Su Chen rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
That cold-looking guy in the leather coat was none other than China's Captain—Yan Shuangying!
Su Chen was speechless. He didn't even know where to begin.
Even as a super unlucky man, his guaranteed gold pull still derailed?! (Tragic!)
This guy made it into the gacha pool!?
And he was a legendary gold card!?
This gacha system really did have an absurdly wide range. (grits teeth)
In a normal city setting, this man would be strong. But compared to Morax or Mills Young, he seemed… lacking.
Thankfully, the gacha log listed it as [Spirit Base: Yan Shuangying – Tenfold Enhanced Version]. That sounded way more reassuring.
"Let's see why Tenfold Enhanced Uncle Eagle is worthy of being a gold card!"
Su Chen took a deep breath and tapped the gold card.
[Do you wish to inherit Spirit Base: Yan Shuangying – Tenfold Enhanced Version?]
"Yes."
In an instant, an indescribable pain surged through him.
Massive knowledge poured into his brain. Power flooded his body. Strange forces sank into his very core.
Thankfully, the strange sensation came and went quickly.
Within a few minutes, Su Chen had fully absorbed the Spirit Base.
"Huff… huff…"
Su Chen gasped, lying on the couch as he recovered.
Once he felt a bit better, he immediately opened the system panel.
[FGO Gacha System 1.0, at your service!]
[Host: Su Chen]
[Age: 22]
[Strength: C – Tenfold Human Limit]
[Endurance: C – Tenfold Human Limit]
[Agility: C – Tenfold Human Limit]
[Personal Space: Empty]
[Innate Skills]: [High-Speed Regeneration], [All-Vehicle Mastery], [All-Weapon Mastery], [Martial Arts Grandmaster]
[Concept Skill – Eagle's Ammunition: Yan Shuangying's bullets are unlimited. The number of bullets equals how many times he wants to shoot. (Never jams, barrels never overheat)]
[Concept Skill – God of Gambling: Don't bet your life against Yan Shuangying. You'll always lose. (I rarely lose. And when I do, it's just one silver dollar.)]
[Concept Skill – Duality of Life and Death: Born of death, eternal cycle. I live in your place—you die in mine!]
[Concept Skill – Dodge: While rolling, Yan Shuangying cannot be locked on and is in i-frame! (This is straight-up cheating!)]
[Gacha Pool: One free pull daily, 10 million Dennies per pull.]
...
"Whew!"
Su Chen stared at the revamped panel and couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
His stats had skyrocketed—from a sub-healthy college student to a mini-superman with tenfold human limits.
His body was now streamlined with muscles full of explosive strength.
In practical terms: ten tons of raw power, 100 meters in one second, all-nighter champion?
And yet, he didn't look bulky. His body's transformation was perfectly concealed under his casual wear.
At the same time, he'd acquired three innate skills: full vehicle mastery, weapon mastery, and martial arts grandmaster.
With a body like this—and those skills—he could easily beat down Nicole, maybe even qualify as a deputy captain in Section 6.
But the real game-changers were the four Concept Skills.
Unlimited ammo, guaranteed win in gambles, cheat death, and total evasion!
This gold card really lived up to the name.
Even if it derailed, it derailed very well.
"Looks like I'll be doing just fine in this world. Maybe I'll become a legendary Proxy—or the strongest Agent?"
A smile spread across Su Chen's face, and his heart finally settled.
With these abilities, he had a real foothold in this world.
And with constant pulls, life could only get better.
Maybe… the dream of becoming a Zenless Zone Zero incubus really could come true?
With lewd dreams in his head, Su Chen sank into the soft couch and drifted off to sleep.

T/N1: "African Chieftain" and "European Emperor" are both sides of the same coin for being very unlucky or very unlucky.
T/N2: "Yan Shuangying" a legendary fictional character in Chinese media whose equivalence to Western media is when you combine "John Wick" + "Deadpool" into one character but less grounded and more over-the-top.
