"System, let's start with twenty Basic Draws."
Arthur thought for a moment and gave the command.
He wanted to test the waters first.
[Ding! Starting draw…]
[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained: a crate of Happy Cola!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained: Limited Edition Photo Set of Teyvat's Female Characters!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained: 1,000,000 RMB!]
[…]
[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained: a luxury car!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained: a luxury villa in the center of Modu!]
Arthur stared at the list of rewards and nodded slowly.
"So the Basic Draw mostly gives mundane prizes, huh."
Compared to things like miraculous power-ups, divine items, or resurrection artifacts, these were indeed ordinary.
Which meant there was no point wasting more points on basic draws.
He would save the rest for future Intermediate Draws, where the real treasures would be.
Still—mundane or not—
Money, a car, a villa…
These were very useful things.
At the very least, he no longer had to live cramped in his small rental apartment.
As for the "Limited Edition Teyvat Girl Photo Set"…
Ahem.
"For the sake of creating accurate character evaluations… it is necessary to study them thoroughly."
Overall, he was satisfied.
"Alright, no more draws for now. But I do need to upgrade my permissions.
System—upgrade Permission Level 1."
[Ding! Deducting 10 million Emotional Points…]
[Ding! Permission Level 1 upgraded!]
[Ding! Livestream unlocked: Special Bullet Comments + Tipping System]
[Teyvat viewers can now comment and tip during streams]
[Ding! Video Comments unlocked: Teyvat viewers can now leave comments]
"Oh? So that's what this permission does?"
Arthur's eyes lit up.
Bullet comments meant he could finally communicate directly with Teyvat's people.
Much better than talking into the void.
And tipping…
Did that mean future streams might have Teyvat whales and Teyvat super-fans?
That would be… hilarious.
"Honestly, this Permission Level 1 is better than those 20 basic draws."
He wondered—
If level 1 was this good…
Then what would a 100-billion-point Level 2 permission be like?
It had to be something outrageous.
But that was for later.
"Time to move."
He clapped his hands cheerfully.
A new house awaited.
He packed quickly—there wasn't much to bring—
returned his rental, then drove to his new luxury villa in the heart of Modu.
Thousands of square meters.
Four floors.
Private cinema, gym, ten-plus rooms, gardens, a pool…
After a full walkthrough, Arthur was completely satisfied.
This—this was the life.
Settling down in his new room, he laid out the Gourmet Tablecloth, grabbed himself lunch, and turned back to the main task:
"Yesterday's evaluation was the protagonist, Lumine.
So for the second evaluation… who should it be?"
He thought for a moment.
"Let's follow regional order—
Traveler → Mondstadt → Liyue → Inazuma…
Yes. That will keep things simple."
Mondstadt had plenty of candidates:
Venti the wine-loving "Bard",
The Gunnhildr sisters Jean and Barbara,
Klee the Bombing Expert child and her chaotic mother Alice,
Diluc and Kaeya the eternally awkward brothers,
Or even unlucky Bennett.
"Let's do the Mondstadt sisters.
A rare duo, lots of material—both serious and silly."
As for Venti…
"He deserves his own 'Five Archons Evaluation Series'."
Decision made, Arthur began organizing and editing material.
Time passed quickly, and midday came before he realized.
His Emotional Points had grown by another 20 million.
Adding yesterday's leftovers, he had over 60 million total.
"Nice."
Very nice.
It was time for the second livestream.
Meanwhile – Teyvat, Mondstadt
Plans had changed on the Abyss Order's side, so the original Stormterror attack had not yet occurred.
But the Knights still had work to do.
Lumine and Paimon had spotted signs of Abyss activity and were investigating outside the city.
But because it was lunchtime, the two were sitting in an open field, enjoying their meal.
And, of course—
showing off.
[Transcendent Chat Group]
[Lumine: Hehe~ It's already noon! Has everyone eaten yet?]
[Lumine: I have sooo much delicious food here. Too much. Truly too much.]
[Paimon: Honeyed carrot steak! Mondstadt hashbrowns! Grilled fish! Aaaah~ Paimon's favorites!]
They even sent multiple pictures.
Everyone else rolled their eyes.
Ever since Lumine obtained the Gourmet Tablecloth, she had been posting food pics nonstop.
Especially at night.
To people dieting—like Ganyu—this was a crime.
Pure torture.
People were beginning to think the Traveler had fully embraced her gremlin nature.
Was this fallout from yesterday's humiliation?
Self-destruction?
Or simply her true personality breaking free?
No one knew.
But they all agreed on one thing:
Ignore her.
[Ganyu: Anyway… it's about time, right? I wonder who's being evaluated today?]
[Keqing: If it's among everyone in the group, there are dozens of candidates.]
[Childe: I hope it's me! With a reward, I can get stronger!]
[Collei: Heh. Fatui? Watch you get nothing.]
[Venti: Ehe~ If there's a "not serious" section again… we might see another legend born~]
[Zhongli: Every gain comes with a price. Hopefully the chosen person has no dark history.]
[Ayaka: If that's the case, only the Seven Archons would be safe. Gods shouldn't have any improper incidents.]
[Nilou: I agree! Lesser Lord Kusanali definitely wouldn't!]
[Lumine: Hehehe… who knows? Maybe the system will 'fabricate' a video… like my last one~]
[Venti: T-That won't happen… right?]
[Zhongli: …]
[Cloud Retainer: His Excellency the Geo Archon is perfect! Absolutely flawless! No fabrication can change that!]
[Xiao: Indeed. I look forward to the day the Geo Lord is evaluated.]
[Ei: I fear nothing.]
[Yae Miko: Oh my, Ei is confident~]
[Kujou Sara: Yae Miko, please respect the Shogun! She is perfect!]
[Clorinde: Lady Furina and Monsieur Neuvillette are the same!]
[Neuvillette: I admit I am curious.]
[Furina: Hahaha! The God of Justice will of course receive a proper evaluation!]
Most mortals were nervous.
Who knew what embarrassing secrets they had forgotten?
What hidden "aha!" moments might surface?
But gods were different.
Their nations idolized them.
Their people trusted them.
Surely, their evaluations would be clean and dignified.
Absolutely no chance of social death!
…right?
As the group continued debating, the light-screen finally flickered—
The second evaluation was beginning.
