Currently possessing: Radiant Tide *20, Lustrous Tide *55, Astrite *10600, Shell Credits *880000.
The standard weapon banner had already been pitted to 40 pulls earlier, and now Noah had a full 55 Lustrous Tides.
Plus Wuthering Waves' unique rule that the weapon banner doesn't go off-track, getting Emerald of Genesis this time was practically guaranteed.
Noah rubbed his hands like a fly and unhesitatingly clicked the button to summon ten times.
The familiar tide animation, the familiar ripple surge—a wisp of golden light emerged from the summoned tide!
Emerald of Genesis—obtained!
Along with a Youhu!
"Luck's pretty good today. It came out in the first ten-pull."
Noah's eyes lit up, throwing all previous worries to the back of his mind.
[Emerald of Genesis (5-star Swift Blade): ATK 587, Crit Rate 24.3%]
[Boundless Vortex (Skill): Resonance Efficiency +12.8%. When releasing Resonance Skill, ATK +6%, stacks up to 2 times, lasts 10s.]
Taking out Emerald of Genesis, Noah fondly stroked this newly acquired 5-star swift blade.
Beneath the cold, icy-blue blade, it was as if one could hear the sound of extreme cold currents surging in the dark.
Equipping Emerald of Genesis, Noah re-equipped the previously removed Echoes to the Rover character. The overall panel stats immediately received a considerable boost.
Character: Rover
HP: 18920
ATK: 2154
DEF: 1005
Resonance Efficiency: 140%
Crit Rate: 65.3%
Crit DMG: 245%
If Crit DMG could increase another 30%, it would reach small graduation level.
Eh! His Echoes were still 33311. If he later obtained a Calamity-class Howler Core with main stat Crit DMG, wouldn't he directly achieve big graduation?!
There's great potential here!
Noah made up his mind. Once he fully recovered later, he would head to Whining Aix's Mire and complete the dangerous mission there.
Not daring to play with it too long, Noah sheathed Emerald of Genesis and put it back in his backpack. He then clicked [Summon] again.
With a 5-star swift blade now, among the remaining standard weapons, he only needed to choose from rectifier, greatsword, pistols, or gauntlets.
"For gauntlets, I'm currently in Jinzhou and can't pull the Spectro main C Zani yet, so skip that. I have Jinhsi's signature greatsword, so no need for greatswords."
"As for rectifiers, I have the 'six-star' weapon Fantasia Concerto. Currently, there are no 5-star limited characters that rely on rectifier output."
"Then—pull the pistol Static Mist!"
Pull! Pull!
Ten pulls: Baizhi +1.
Twenty pulls: Mortefi +1.
Thirty pulls: Youhu Waveband +1.
Forty pulls: Sanhua +1, Sanhua Waveband +1.
"4-star true god, Sanhua!"
Seeing two Sanhuas pulled, Noah couldn't help but beam with joy.
As a sub-DPS, Sanhua can pair with almost any main DPS.
Not only because her Forte Circuit effect provides very universal Basic Attack bonuses, but also because she stacks Concerto extremely quickly—truly the perfect main DPS launcher!
Just equip her with the Moonlit Clouds Echo set, and in mere seconds, she can stack a ton of buffs on the main DPS—
Forte Circuit Basic Attack bonus + Moonlit Clouds set ATK bonus + primary Echo Impermanence Heron DMG bonus + Sanhua 6-sequence ATK bonus.
True~ 4-star war god!
Happily accepting Sanhua, Noah felt today's harvest was already plentiful enough.
Casually throwing out the last five Lustrous Tides, Noah prepared to close the panel and rest.
The next second, a golden light caught his eye.
Ah—gold again!
Is my luck really this good today?!
Noah unconsciously grinned, reaching out to skip the animation. A 5-star pistol appeared before him.
[Static Mist (5-star Pistols): ATK 587, Crit Rate 24.3%.]
[Flesh Carving Bone Eroding (Skill): Resonance Efficiency +12.8%. After releasing Forte Circuit skill, incoming character ATK +10%, stacks 1 time, lasts 14s.]
Wonderful! Truly wonderful!
He didn't expect 55 Lustrous Tides to yield two 5-star weapons. Profit! Profit!
Closing [Summon], Noah happily checked the modules on his panel.
Panel modules: Summon, Quests, Mailbox, Exploration Module, Backpack, Resonators, Data Bank, Team, Map.
"Eh, why is there a red dot on the mailbox?"
Noah opened the mailbox. An email appeared:
[Reward] Wuthering Waves Project Team Gratitude Gift: To thank all Rovers for your continued support and understanding, the project team specially presents this gratitude gift.
Attachment: Tidal Gratitude Ticket.
It's a 5-star standard character selector!
Linyang, Calcharo, Jianxin, Encore, Verina—choose one of five.
Holy shit—three joys at once!
"A bit torn. Which one to choose?"
Noah fell into thought but soon stopped:
"I can choose anytime. I'll decide later."
If he hadn't off-banner pulled Verina, he would definitely choose Verina without hesitation right now. But he already had her.
Suppressing the thought, Noah lay back on the large bed and fell peacefully asleep.
A new day.
Warm sunlight poured into the room from the window, illuminating it brightly. The distant bustling market already carried the sounds of crowds.
Today was another peaceful day.
Noah got up, washed, and a communication came through. He answered while brushing his teeth.
"Noah, it's me, Yangyang."
A gentle voice came from the terminal:
"Um... are you free today?"
"Although the campaign is over, there are still some Tacet Discords in the wild. As a member of the Outrider team, I have a duty to clear the Tacet Discords outside."
"But going alone feels a bit unsafe. Could I ask you to come with me?"
Listening to Yangyang's somewhat stuttering words, Noah couldn't help but tug at the corner of his mouth.
They had just finished fighting the Threnodian and the Tacet Discord wave yesterday—how many Tacet Discords could there be in the wild now?
Even if there were some, he believed Yangyang could handle them completely on her own. She didn't need him at all.
So, Yangyang definitely wanted to ask him out to play!
If it were any other reason, he would definitely agree. But if it was to fight Tacet Discords—sorry, the current Noah really wasn't convenient.
Noah didn't answer immediately. Instead, he opened the quest list on his panel. The green daily quests had refreshed, and along with them, a blue quest appeared.
[Daily Quest:
[Quest Description: The waiter in front of Panhua Restaurant is soliciting customers. Go meet him.]
[Completion Reward: Astrite *800, Shell Credits *10000.]
[Chronicle Quest:
[Quest Description: A strange researcher is trying to talk to a kitten. Her terminal seems to have some special function. (Unlocks in one hour)]
[Completion Reward: Astrite *1600, Shell Credits *10000.]
Very good! Today's quests don't require fighting Tacet Discords!
Noah's brows relaxed. He picked up the terminal:
"Sorry, Yangyang. I have other things to do today, so I can't accompany you to fight Tacet Discords."
"Oh... alright." The voice on the other end couldn't hide its disappointment and regret, yet it persistently asked:
"What do you have to do today? Do you need help? Ah, I mean, you can definitely do it yourself, but if you need anything, feel free to find me anytime."
"It's nothing major."
Noah wiped his face with a towel, looking at his handsome and energetic reflection in the mirror, answering casually:
"I lost my sword. I need to find Chixia to register it as lost and found."
"Alright... okay."
On the other side, Yangyang bit her lip, reluctantly hung up the communication, then contacted Chixia:
"Jinzhou's Blazing Dawn, can we switch roles today? Like... you be an Outrider member for a day, and I'll be a Patroller."
"No way."
Her good sister ruthlessly refused:
"Patroller salary is paid today. I have to claim it in person. Once this Blazing Dawn gets her salary, you and Noah can wait for delicious food!"
