The Light Cone interface vanished, and a massive list of items popped up one after another, showing what was obtained.
The item at the top alone left her dumbfounded.
[Stellar Jade x1600]
[Trailblaze Guide x100]
[Purified Aether x100]
[Credit x500,000]
[Destiny's Footprints x5]
[Logistics Material Box • Standard x50]
[Lost Crystal x200]
[Wishing Relic Box x1]
Five seconds…
Ten seconds…
Half a minute…
Ah Xian sat back in her chair, wide-eyed and speechless, forming a picture that was somehow both dynamic and frozen, unable to utter a word for a long time.
The players had already exploded.
[???????]
[??]
[???!]
[Father!!]
[WTF, WTF! This is too much!]
[Maya! This man's giving out another ten pulls!]
[Not just ten pulls, but a ton of resources too! I'm so touched I could cry!]
[What do those Logistics Material Boxes and Wishing Relic Box give? Ah Xian, don't just sit there—check it!]
After a while, Ah Xian finally snapped out of her shock.
She eagerly opened her inventory again.
The Logistics Material Box was actually the blue Trace material selection pack sold in the launch shop.
And the price…
660 Ancient Dream Essence for 45 material boxes and 120,000 Credits.
That meant the 50 Trace material boxes Leon gave were worth over 700 Ancient Dream Essence.
For context, a monthly pass only gave 300 Ancient Dream Essence.
Not to mention the high-value 1600 Star Rail, plus the rest of the massive haul of resources.
[Now I get why the gift box description said it's unknown if it's a surprise or a scare.]
[Seriously, I'm scared silly. He really went all out!]
[It feels unreal. What gacha game gives this much at launch?]
[You're only thinking about that? Why not say thanks to Leon?]
[What 'Leon'? No manners—you won't even call him Father!]
[Dad!]
Most players were buzzing with excitement.
He gave so much!
Maybe later in the game, these resources wouldn't seem like a lot.
But for now, they were more than enough to help players build a four-person team and breeze through early exploration.
[Feels like Father's raising us like his own kids…]
[Used Leon's Star Rail to pull Seele early. Guilty, guilty—should've saved my pulls for him.]
[What if… five-star Father is free?]
[You still asleep up there?]
[Unauthorized expectation warning!]
[Don't hype up Father like that. We don't know when his five-star form will drop. Don't raise everyone's hopes.]
Plenty of rational folks stepped in to curb the speculation.
The higher the expectations, the bigger the disappointment.
If everyone assumed five-star Leon would be free and it didn't happen, the backlash would fall on him.
That's not cool behavior.
Ah Xian moved her mouse to the Wishing Relic Box, her gaze freezing after two seconds, her expression turning blank.
[Upon opening, you can select a slot from the following sets to obtain one gold Relic.]
Hunter of Glacial Forest · Eagle of Twilight Line Champion of Streetwise Boxing · Thief of Shooting Meteor Passerby of Wandering Cloud · Musketeer of Wild Wheat Guard of Wuthering Snow · Genius of Brilliant Stars Knight of Purity Palace · Band of Sizzling Thunder Forge of Molten Lava · Wastelander of Banditry Desert Space Sealing Station · Immortal Scion of Longevity Thieves' Kingdom Talia · Life of Ongvaka Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise · Celestial Differentiator Belobog of the Architects · Inert Salsotto
[When obtaining a Relic from the selected set and slot, you can customize all initial attributes and lock 1-2 of them.]
[When this customized Relic is enhanced to level 15, it will hit at least two of the locked initial attributes.]
Huh?
Huh??
HUH?!
Ah Xian's eyes nearly popped out.
If she understood the description right, not only could she freely choose main and sub-stats, but enhancement had a two-time guarantee?
That's just too broken!
Her hand trembled slightly as she moved the mouse to check Inert Salsotto.
She selected a Planar Sphere with Quantum DMG Bonus, sub-stats with Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK%, plus a bit of SPD.
Just as her finger hovered over the left mouse button to confirm, she paused.
Ah Xian fell into deep thought.
"I think I might've been a little unfaithful to my husband…"
Maybe for show, maybe for real.
Either way, Ah Xian gave herself a slap, then quickly changed her selection.
Life of Ongvaka, Link Rope.
Main stat: Energy Recharge Efficiency. Sub-stats: SPD, HP%, Crit DMG, Effect RES.
Locked two sub-stats, no hesitation on SPD.
Confirm!
Start enhancing.
She dumped in enough materials to max it to level 15 in one go, clicked the enhance button, and covered her eyes with her hand.
She'd been thinking a lot just now.
Whether it's four-star Leon or five-star Leon, their core stat is the same: SPD.
To be specific, for four-star Leon, stacking HP or not doesn't affect his healing output.
The faster his SPD, the more he acts, the quicker his energy recharges, the higher his healing, and the better he protects the team.
For five-star Leon… his action advance should trigger every four team actions.
The faster his SPD, the more actions, the more advances.
Ongvaka's 40% action advance at the start gives him a head start.
Even if Leon gets better gear later, this Energy Recharge rope could still be used for other supports.
After Katiya's third beta test, the Relic stat weight analysis showed that Energy Recharge ropes with SPD are insanely rare.
By all logic, this was a safe pick.
Ah Xian slowly parted her fingers, peeking at the screen.
Level Up:
Level 0 → Level 15
Energy Recharge Efficiency: 3.1% → 19.4%
SPD: 2 → 14
A brief silence—
"WAAAAHHH!!"
The headphone users in the stream died instantly.
The chat was already a sea of question marks.
[Dog barking, dog barking, dog barking?!]
[I'm a beta tester too, and this is freaking insane—a 14 SPD Energy Recharge rope… a family heirloom till the servers shut down!]
[Jealousy's driving me mad. Why do I only get two guaranteed hits, and the other three all miss?]
[I'm calling out a certain two-word game—you know who you are!]
[Traveler next door, speak up!]
[Hahaha, how'd you all know I've got a 32.4% Crit DMG double-crit Quantum Sphere?]
[Like father, like son.]
[All you lucky dogs, get lost!!]
[Had to simp for Father—this is the episode I relate to Ah Xian the most!]
[??]
Bragging, crying, begrudgingly accepting—various sharing comments flooded in.
Oh, and some were going wild over Leon.
Those who couldn't play the game right now were itching to drop everything, rush through the story, and claim the rewards.
Since Honkai: Star Rail Relics have no equip level requirement, Ah Xian gleefully equipped Leon with this heirloom Energy Recharge rope.
After maxing out his four-star Light Cone, she wore a deeply satisfied expression.
Leon's rewards nearly sent her to heaven, and for a moment, she couldn't help but let out a dreamy, yearning sound.
"They say you gotta soak up wealth vibes to get rich, but this sister wants a promotion. Can I soak up some of Leon's career-luck vibes?"
