Chapter 69: Fu Hua: Am I Destined to be Unlucky for the Rest of My Life!? No!
"?"
Kiana stood frozen on the spot. Seeing Fu Hua's solemn plea, she had assumed it was something dire—turns out it was just about drawing cards.
"I thought it was something serious, Class Monitor... It's just gacha. I'll help you."
At this moment, Fu Hua looked ready to burst into tears. "No! Student Kiana, you don't understand! For a 'Non-European' (unlucky player), every single pull is an agonizing experience! It's more painful than training under a freezing waterfall!"
"Especially when you see the pity count getting closer, your Crystals dwindling, and every single result is just the standard 'one purple, nine blues'..."
"It's practically inhuman torture!!"
Seeing Fu Hua's lamenting state, Kiana scratched her head and looked awkwardly at Su Mu. "Uh, is it really that serious?"
Su Mu nodded. He knew all too well that Fu Hua's luck wasn't just "bad." To be honest, it was lucky the Honkai 3rd servers were stable; otherwise, Fu Hua might have been the person to glitch the game so hard she'd miss the final guaranteed pity drop.
However, looking at the Fu Hua before him, Su Mu felt a deep sense of happiness in his heart. After all, in this world without the Honkai, Fu Hua could enjoy a peaceful daily life. In the game, this girl's shoulders carried far too much: a MANTIS soldier from 50,000 years ago, suffering from memory erosion over eons where even oceans turned into mulberry fields.
Forgetting, forgetting, constantly forgetting the faces and voices of important people until she looked back and realized she was utterly alone. Su Mu felt that Fu Hua was one of the best-written characters in Honkai 3rd. Combined with her flashy combat moves, visceral impact, and top-tier power level, the game was often jokingly called "Fu Hua 3rd."
Have you ever heard of... Night Squire's ultimate burst?
Kiana, of course, didn't know Su Mu's inner thoughts. To her, Fu Hua's request was just bizarre. Gacha? Why ask for help? Can't you just click and get it?
Thinking this, Kiana took Fu Hua's phone and, under Fu Hua's intense gaze, clicked the 10x Expansion Supply button. Since Fu Hua's last pull for Blood Rose had hit full pity, she had accumulated a wealth of Crystals from events and rewards. But Fu Hua knew her luck was abysmal; if she pulled herself, she'd likely hit maximum pity again. Thus, hearing Kiana was coming to the office, she had waited specifically for this moment.
She didn't expect Kiana to pull multiple S-ranks; she just hoped these resources would be enough to fully gear Shadow Knight: Moon.
"Pulling for Moon, right?"
"Yes! By the way, Student Kiana, the battlesuits you designed for me are so cool! I haven't had the chance to thank you properly..."
"Oh? Haha... Actually, it's all thanks to Su Mu and the others. I didn't do much..." Kiana was just telling the truth. She wished this game would just die already. The fact that a game destined to fail had become a legend was entirely the "fault" of Su Mu and his team.
"I'm going!!" Kiana tapped the screen. A gold light burst from the HOMU Supply Crate. Kiana casually clicked through the results...
Three Shadow Knight: Moons appeared instantly on the details page.
Seeing such a miracle of luck from such a close distance for the first time, Fu Hua nearly collapsed to her knees! She almost couldn't stop herself from swearing! Is this even human?
"Only three? I guess my luck isn't great this time."
Kiana seemed dissatisfied with the result. Her words made Fu Hua want to cough up blood. Three is "unsatisfactory"? That was pulled without any prior pity build-up! Thinking of her own track record of hitting full pity, Fu Hua felt internal injuries. Truly, the "European" and the "African" did not live in the same world!
"Next, the Stigmata and weapon?"
"Yes, please!"
Kiana didn't hesitate and clicked the Focused Supply.
"??!!"
Looking at the results, Fu Hua nearly fainted and practically needed an oxygen mask. Moon's signature weapon, the full signature Stigma set (T, M, B), and even an extra Briareus...
"Mhm, luck is much better this time." Kiana satisfiedly handed the phone back. "Class Monitor, Auntie has business with me. I have to go!"
Su Mu gave Fu Hua a sympathetic look. The girl was petrified on the spot. Clearly, this gacha session was a massive psychological blow to her "unlucky" soul.
Sigh.
Still, Su Mu felt Kiana's luck was indeed terrifying. Not just in gacha, but in hiring too. She seemingly hired "fresh and foolish" graduates or "old slackers" who had been fired elsewhere. Yet, when Su Mu checked, every "foolish" graduate was a hidden genius, and the "slackers" were experts who had left their previous jobs due to office politics.
In short, Kiana thought she was recruiting "Incompetent Fledglings," but she was actually assembling a team of elites. Su Mu doubted Kiana even looked at their resumes; she likely just clicked "Hire" based on pure intuition and luck. Sometimes, you just have to believe some people are born under a lucky star.
Under Rita's lead, Su Mu and Kiana arrived at Theresa's office. Theresa had been waiting for a long time.
When Su Mu first saw Theresa, he was so startled he almost shouted. Isn't this the "Big Luna" (Lunar Vow)?
No, wait. Those clear, somewhat foolish blue eyes—it was undoubtedly the original Theresa. But... the "assets" on this Theresa were a world apart from the Fu Hua he just saw.
Theresa is... well-endowed? Am I dreaming? But the physical proportions were indeed striking, comparable to the "Lunar Vow" version from the game.
"Mr. Su Mu, hello. I am Theresa Apocalypse. As you can see, I am Kiana's aunt." Theresa didn't waste words and got straight to the point. "I've called you here today because of an important matter."
Kiana scratched her head, looking confused. "Auntie, what 'important matter'? You didn't say anything on the phone..."
Theresa cleared her throat and said, "This matter concerns Kiana's life..."
Life matter? Su Mu looked at Kiana, then thought about her lack of appetite and lethargy over the past month. Oh no, could the Tuna really be suffering from a terminal illness?
