Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 82

“System, check my points.”

Bai Qiu paused the live broadcast and let the chair take over for a while.

[Beep beep beep – Checking, query successful!!!]

[The host’s current live broadcast points total 261,000 (including 100,000 points exchanged for gifts).]

[You need 56 draws until the next guaranteed Heroic Spirit.]

I have 261,000 points!!! Does that mean I can strengthen Saint Graph again?

“System, how many points do I need to further strengthen Mordred’s Saint Graph?”

After all, Mo-san has only been strengthened once.

[Beep beep beep – Mordred has been strengthened once in total.]

[To perform a second strengthening, you will need the material “Heart of the Foreign God” and consume 1 million points.]

[The “Heart of the Foreign God” can be obtained with a chance through advanced lottery tickets.]

Oh, it requires materials… Sorry for the disturbance…

And it also requires 1 million points! Why not go and fight for them?

To think that it already costs 1 million points for the second Saint Graph strengthening… I can’t even imagine strengthening it to the Grand Position Saint Graph…

After all, it is the Saint Graph of the entire world, so it must be quite valuable.

“System, can Heroic Spirits be summoned in Chaldea?”

I should think about where to guarantee summon them first.

[Chaldea cannot use Magical Energy from the Leylines, so the probability of summoning Heroic Spirits will be greatly reduced.]

[If the guaranteed summon is triggered successfully without any response from Heroic Spirits, the host will be refunded the 1000 points used for summoning.]

[However, Heroic Spirits successfully summoned in Chaldea will not be limited to the contract of only 5 Heroic Spirits in the Singularity.]

“Okay, okay, I understand now.”

Bai Qiu sighed softly.

It’s hard to save up for a guaranteed summon, and if the summon fails, they give me a single draw as compensation. Even capitalists would shed tears when they hear this.

Anyway, I’ll save it for the next Singularity and summon there.

[However, using advanced lottery tickets allows for summoning without using magical energy from the leylines. Any Heroic Spirit that has “Bond” with the host can be summoned.]

[You can exchange 10,000 points for 1 advanced lottery ticket, and a guaranteed summon will be triggered after 100 draws.]

[The host currently has enough points to exchange for 26 advanced lottery tickets.]

[Current number of advanced lottery ticket draws: 0]

Oh, so I just have to wait here for myself! The advanced pool that requires 10,000 points per draw must not have Mapo Tofu, right?

According to the system’s description of the advanced lottery ticket, it shouldn’t be difficult to summon Heroic Spirits in Chaldea, and it’s not affected by COST!!!

Bai Qiu confidently shouts to the system:

“System, exchange one advanced lottery ticket first!”

It’s better to be cautious in everything.

[Beep beep… Exchanging… Exchange successful!]

[Does the host want to start drawing now?]

“Yes!”

Bai Qiu looked at the silver summoning circle appearing in front of them, feeling the familiar sensation again!

Guaranteed summon? Who needs a guaranteed summon when you can draw with true skills!

Sorry, today let everyone see what a true god of luck is!!!

With this draw, I will pierce through the stars!!!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained “Proof of Hero” x1]

Bai Qiu looked at the manhole cover on the ground and fell into contemplation.

“System, so this pool is filled with materials…”

[Beep beep… The probability of summoning a Heroic Spirit with an advanced lottery ticket is also 1%. Please try more, host.]

Indeed, 1% is not easy to win.

“System, exchange ten more advanced lottery tickets for me!!!”

With ten tickets, the chances of winning will greatly increase, rounding up to 100%!

The summoning circle in front of them once again shone with silver brilliance!

That’s right, this is the feeling!!!

This time, I will definitely get it!!!

“Senpai?”

Mashu heard strange laughter coming from the room and cautiously knocked on Bai Qiu’s door, but no one came out for a long time.

Sensing something was wrong, Mashu immediately pushed open Bai Qiu’s door.

“Senpai! Are you okay?”

“Hahaha… I won, I won!!!”

In the dark corner of the room, a humanoid creature was squatting there, continuously emitting creepy laughter.

“Who are you?!”

Mashu immediately turned on the bright lights, exposing the situation in the room.

Bai Qiu was sitting on the floor, in front of them a pile of strange things, some resembling discs, some looking like dragon teeth, and some black ashes.

“Senpai?! What happened to you?!”

After confirming that it was Bai Qiu, Mashu immediately ran over and asked with concern.

“Mashu, I came back from summoning…”

Bai Qiu had a helpless expression on their face.

They had painstakingly saved up 260,000 points!

And this is what they got from the summons!

Anyone who didn’t know would think they were drawing from an unlimited pool!

[The host currently has enough points to exchange for 0 advanced lottery tickets.]

[Current number of advanced lottery ticket draws: 26.]

The voice of the system sounded nearby, like a sharp blade cutting through Bai Qiu’s wounded heart.

The good news was that they were one step closer to the guaranteed summon in the advanced pool, but the bad news was that they only got a bunch of materials and didn’t even draw the materials to ascend Mordred’s Saint Graph.

It hurt, it hurt so much!!!

“Though I don’t know what happened, Senpai, please keep going!”

Mashu cheered Bai Qiu on from the side.

Seeing the effort of their junior, Bai Qiu couldn’t continue to feel down.

“Oh, Mashu, you came at the right time. They all want to see you.”

Saying that, Bai Qiu reopened the live stream.

“Newcomer, is the host of this live stream a chair? Why isn’t the host speaking?”

“This chair has 40,000 viewers, a top streamer!”

“The host’s kidneys must not be functioning well, still not back after such a long time.”

“Well, with the working environment of this host, it’s not going to be good.”

“What kind of company is this host from? Do they need any helpers? I can work without pay!”

“Why hasn’t the host come back yet? I advise you not to push your luck, don’t make me kneel down and beg you!”

“Ah, they’re back! They’re back!!!”

“You actually know they’re back?”

Glancing at the barrage of comments, Bai Qiu felt somewhat helpless.

What can they do when they don’t have much to do? Just make small talk?

Fortunately, Mashu was here, so let her handle it for a while.

“Mashu, it’s your turn.”

“Eh?! Okay, okay! I’ll do my best!!!”

Although Mashu had some experience with live streaming before, they were still very nervous.

“Hello… everyone.”

“Oh my god, it’s Mashu-san! Still in their regular attire!!!”

“Mashu-san, you’ve worked hard before! Are you on vacation now?”

“Mashu-san looks so pretty even on vacation.”

“Oh no, my heart is fluttering! I finally understand why you all stay in this live stream day after day…”

“System message: ‘The Strongest Shield’ sent two rockets!”

“Comment: Finally, I’ve been waiting for you, Mashu-san. Hello there.”

……….

Looking at Mashu nervously facing the live camera and speaking some polite words, but the popularity kept skyrocketing.

Bai Qiu sighed, realizing that their small talk wasn’t having the desired effect.

To earn points, it seemed they needed to come up with a solution.

“System, if people discover that the content of my livestream is all real, can you handle it?”

Bai Qiu asked the system carefully.

After all, no one really watched their previous livestreams, so they could just bluff their way through.

But now that the number of viewers was increasing, they needed to understand the boundaries of limitations.

[Ding ding… As long as it remains within the processing capacity of this system, it won’t have any impact.]

[Once the disputes caused by the host’s livestream (complaints, unforeseen circumstances, platform content regulation) exceed the processing capacity of this system, the system will immediately shut down.]

Shut down?!

…So it’s better not to cause any trouble, right?

With that in mind, it was similar to the Church’s approach of keeping the Holy Grail War “secret.”

Handle whatever they could handle, and if they couldn’t handle it, just play dumb.

It seemed they couldn’t let Mashu and the other Servants livestream for too long, or else they might accidentally reveal something troublesome.

But their own livestream couldn’t maintain the momentum, making it even more difficult to earn points.

There was still some time before the next Singularity, so they had to do their best to maintain the excitement.

Was there a plan that would allow the Servants to livestream without exposing any flaws?

Bai Qiu suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Yes!

Let them… livestream watching movies?
