Upon returning to the yacht, Long Hua is just about to go to bed; however—

(Come into the dreamscape, we need to talk.)

"Uh?"

In response to Long Hua's confusion, the Tai Xuan Emperor also speaks through her vessel, saying—

"Perhaps, she has had a change of heart—in regards to the way she does business with you, master?"

"Hmm. She's been keeping quiet for quite some time. ...Actually, if she wanted me to head in, she could just drag me in without warning."

"Since she's inviting, maybe this is her giving master face?"

Thinking for a bit, Long Hua shrugs his shoulders, and decides to head into the dreamscape to see what the Tai Xuan Emperor has in store for him.

.........

"..."

As soon as he appears within the dreamscape, Long Hua is quick to raise an eye at the sight before him.

Black pedestals are scattered throughout the white voids, and placed onto each pedestal is an item.

Positioned in front of the displayed item is a plate, which details the item's name, supposed cost, and a description of their function.

"The hell is all this?"

Expecting absolute nonsense out of this, Long Hua's expression is quick to turn stern.

Standing to the side—

"Tch."

The Tai Xuan Emperor clicks her tongue. Similarly to last time, her entire body is shrouded in a veil of light, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

"...I'm leaving, since it seems like I'm not welcome here."

Turning around, Long Hua's figure begins to fade—

"Wait, wait, wait! I didn't mean to click my tongue just now! *-laoban, let's have a do over!"

Grabbing onto Long Hua's left arm, the Tai Xuan Emperor pulls him towards one of the black pedestals, and explains—

"Ahem. I've made some adjustments to my gacha system. Every pull you do from now on, you'll be able to earn exchange points. Each pull is worth 100 points. To start things off, I've decided to grant you 1,200 exchange points."

"..."

Maintaining a look of skepticism on his face, Long Hua shakes off the Tai Xuan Emperor's hands, and looks to the item displayed on the pedestal, which turns out to be a talisman of some kind.

Looking at the plate in front of the item, it reads—

"Magic treasure refining talisman?"

Nodding her head, the Tai Xuan Emperor says—

"Indeed, hasn't that trusty old soft sword of yours been breaking often in battle as of late? Well, paste this talisman onto it, and it will instantly be upgraded into a Core Formation realm magic treasure."

Hearing this, Long Hua shows a hint of surprise, and looks at the price tag, which turns out to be—

"400 exchange points, basically four pulls' worth."

Clear distaste appears on Long Hua's face, as he asks—

"...Isn't this basically an online game's item shop?"

"You can think of it like that, yes. Also, I've made it so that you can purchase a VIP membership; the cost is 20,000 spirit stones. You'll get one extra free pull a day upon purchasing it. Since it lasts 30 days, it...-"
