[Based on your income in the Virtual Spirit Realm, you can convert it into 49,153 Spiritual Points. You can also choose not to convert it to Spiritual Points and receive cash instead. Would you like to convert?]

Bai Pu chose to convert.

On the first day, he earned nearly 50,000 Spiritual Points, a performance that completely overshadowed the three concurrent advanced character limited card pools.

The pool for [Blood Armor Shield Guard·Steel Heart] lasts for 7 days!

Su Xiaoxiao, with her wealth of experience, told Bai Pu that according to the usual curve of card pool income, the first day's income isn't necessarily the highest. If the character card's strength is overwhelming and has high usability, in the following two or three days there will be players who are convinced to join in, and some will upgrade to Level 2 and Level 3. That's when the income truly surges.

Upgrading levels means repeatedly drawing the [Blood Armor Shield Guard·Steel Heart] character card. The first time it's drawn, the character card is at Level 1, the second time at Level 2, and the third time reaches the highest Level 3.

With each level increase, the character's skill level will improve, plus the 10% damage increase from level suppression and self-damage reduction; the combat power increase is about 30%. It's a must-choose for those focusing on strength.

Sure enough, on the second day, the card pool income climbed to a new high, exceeding 20 million; on the third day, the pool income reached a peak of 27.82 million!

Starting from the third day, female players began to visit Bai Pu's livestream to verify whether Bai Pu's appearance was as stunning as the illustrations.

Verifying the looks has become a staple for each new card pool season because the Virtual Spirit Realm often enhances the appearance in illustrations to boost the appeal of character card draws, turning even plain Awakeneds into handsome figures. This can be compared to the legendary transformative powers of plastic surgery, and makeup techniques in the Common Era's Asia.

As a result, every lady who came to confirm left satisfied—even though Bai Pu's physique became more robust and his aura more masculine, his appearance was not overly beautified. His reading and sleeping moments could each be made into a wallpaper.

Many spectators returned with thanks; some got a golden draw on the first try, getting [Blood Armor Shield Guard·Steel Heart], while others hit the mark with a ten-draw spin. These lucky audience members, having experienced the strength of the character cards, eagerly presented their free fluorescent sticks in the livestream.

Many people came to offer their incense to the 'real deal'—a female streamer named "Cloud Moon" had vowed to spend all to bring home her Steel Heart prince, ever since just an illustration of [Blood Armor Shield Guard·Steel Heart] was revealed.

She hit gold 11 times in a row but veered to other characters instead! The accompanying character cards were already maxed out.

Cloud Moon's livestream meltdown drew a massive crowd of onlookers.

Even though much of it was for the effect of the broadcast, there was a bit of genuine emotion—being sidetracked 11 times in a row was quite extraordinary.

Cloud Moon heeded her livestream audience's advice and went to Bai Pu's stream for a report check of the 'real deal'.

Everyone then discovered that Cloud Moon was actually the number one supporter in Bai Pu's living room—ID "Bright Moon in the Clouds"! Sympathy vanished, replaced by gossiping fun.

Cloud Moon gave a small reward, prompting two sentences from Bai Pu, and then dived back into the Virtual Spirit Realm to open the card pool.

The 12th golden draw, finally didn't miss!

The subsequent two level upgrades also didn't veer off, delighting Cloud Moon who returned to Bai Pu's livestream to tip a Captain badge.

What could Bai Pu say? He could only warn everyone to consume rationally and not trust superstition. Statistically, the odds of being sidetracked 12 times are low, and even if Cloud Moon hadn't reported to the 'real deal' in the livestream, her 12th golden draw probably wouldn't have veered.

But Bai Pu's warning fell on deaf ears. Many players visited to try their luck before drawing cards, surprisingly increasing new user registration on the Hundred Battle Platform.

Seeing the new user numbers, Hundred Battle Platform's super administrators ceased persuading Bai Pu to cater to the audience for better stream performance—he brought his own follower traffic, contributing direct benefits to the platform!

Despite his casual streaming attitude resembling a lazy dog's pass-time move, turning a blind eye seemed the choice to make.

In seven days, the [Blood Armor Shield Guard·Steel Heart] card pool brought Bai Pu approximately 350,000 Spiritual Points.

During the Jiangnan Region's qualifiers, Blood Spider went on a rampage, rendering Bai Pu's help unnecessary.

With dual Level 6 Specialties, Blood Spider's combat strategy was straightforward: use crossbow arrows to chip away at opponents, occasionally shooting Fighting Qi Spirit Arrows to maintain slow effects.

If the opponent was a long-range archer type, it was a contest of agility, moving shooting accuracy, and dodge skill! As a Hero Profession with luxury gear, Blood Spider triumphed.

Against close combat professions, after the opponents expended energy on displacement skills to get close, Blood Spider would drop the hand crossbow, draw the set of dual daggers, and use a set of close combat assassination-type skills to teach them a lesson.

This combat method, while not invincible, required overwhelming blood spider with sheer power—like Bai Pu could.

But finding someone with enough strength to crush Blood Spider in the Jiangnan Region's other teams was nearly impossible!

Teacher Cai Cai was elated beyond measure. Watching the team's continuous wins had secured the qualification, leaving only first or second place undecided! Even for home matches, Bai Pu wasn't recalled.

Bai Pu used this month's time to catch up on his basics.

Starting with combat specializations, Bai Pu's One-Handed Swordsmanship and Shield Mastery rose to Level 4, Fighting and Two-Handed Swordsmanship to Advanced Level 5; Long-Handled Weapons and Riding Skill were elevated to Advanced Level 1.

On the skill level, Bai Pu diligently trained his Main Battle Skills: the Unstable Shield reached Level 4, and Three Kingdoms rose to Level 2.

Speaking of the Three Kingdoms skill, as a Three-star Skill, it has its downsides, requiring difficult cultivation, consuming more Blood Fighting Qi, and having a cooldown more than twice that of a regular skill.

Bai Pu raising the skill level by one in just a month is quite an achievement.

Additionally, Bai Pu added [Wind-Stepping Slash] to his Main Battle Skills because every practice with it let Bai Pu feel the flow of wind, deepening his comprehension of it.

This was thanks to the information Bai Pu found through research.

In circumstances like these, when Awakeneds' advanced specialties hit the Level 7 threshold, those with high comprehension might grasp Mystical Arts, stepping into a new level of power!

Wind-Stepping Slash, enhancing Bai Pu's understanding of Wind Mystical Arts, motivated him to diligently train it. This month, Bai Pu brought Wind-Stepping Slash to Level 4 60%, progressing even faster than the Unstable Shield.

Other support skills, [Lasso Strike] was trained to Level 2, and [Helical Throw] finally reached Level 3.

Thanks to Bai Pu's [Limit Breaker] title, Helical Throw gained an additional level, becoming Level 4, allowing him to draw Level 4 Skill Special Effects in advance.

In the end, Bai Pu directly chose a rare special effect from several special effects.

[E: Desperate Gamble: Your weapon no longer returns. Your interrupt effect priority +1 and upon landing creates a circular shockwave, causing a knockback effect and mild concussion damage to surrounding enemies.]

Choosing this option was surely for the priority +1 trait, matching Three-star Skills just by its additional priority! The circular shockwave upon landing could also have miraculous effects at times.

This wasn't the limit of Bai Pu's power increase. What most delighted him was the dark gold cocoon in his storage space, whose progress was nearing its limit.
