chapter 64 - The Bright Moon Set! A Gift from Destiny! (2/4)
Right, it was high time the [Weapon Refinery] got an upgrade. Wu Chi was sitting on a mountain of resources from the ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) past three days of fighting, and letting it collect dust was just stupid. Time to turn cash into power. He dumped a pile of stones into the Refinery, leveling it to 5, and immediately started cranking out the exclusive gear set for his new magical girls.

Just like the Qin Vanguards' set, this one had four pieces, each with three traits. But the focus was totally different. This gear was all about self-cultivation and support, with less emphasis on direct combat or defense. It made sense. The cultivators were chasing immortality; the Qin soldiers were built for the battlefield. Two different jobs, two different toolkits.
Each piece cost 50 crystals, making a full set 200. For fifty girls, that was a cool 10,000 crystals down the drain. The Refinery roared to life, and soon, brand new, shiny pieces of equipment were popping out, which Wu Chi dutifully distributed. The girls were ecstatic, poking and prodding their new toys with wide-eyed wonder.
"Alright, little fairies," Wu Chi said with a grin once everyone was geared up. "Ready for a fight?"
"Heehee! You're such a flatterer, Supreme Master!"
"I'll do my best! Please watch me!"
"For the Supreme Master, I'm not afraid of anything!"
They chirped happily. Dressed in their exquisite new gowns, holding their treasure mirrors, they looked like a procession of celestial princesses. The only slight fashion faux pas was that the elegant hairpins didn't really work with their cute little bun hairstyles. Some girls undid their hair, pinning it up elegantly with the hairpin, while others just jammed the pin into their existing buns, which looked… unique.
They need a real battle, Wu Chi thought, watching the chaotic but endearing scene. He gathered them up and led them to the wall, explaining the basics of guard duty. They were quick learners, and soon they were standing at their posts, gripping their little mirrors with comically serious expressions. Wu Chi then had the Vanguards upgrade their own gear before sending them all back to their positions.

"Alright, that's everything," he sighed, stretching as he walked back to the pavilion at Mirror Lake. Qin Keqing was there, sipping tea. She immediately poured a cup for him. "Are you tired, Young Master?" she asked softly.
"I'll live," he shook his head, then grinned. "Here. You open this." He pulled out the [Red Bundle].
…
[A Gift from Destiny]
Quality: None

…
This thing… this thing was infamous. Back on Earth, he'd heard people talk about "Mystery Bundles" and "Gifts from Destiny." They sounded cool, but really… they were just loot boxes. A total scam. Opening one gave you different tiers of risk and reward.
