Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3956: Sad Star

"How is he doing?" Gonzalez asked.

He had asked the same question when Gleipnir came before, but Gleipnir did not answer.

Angel thought for a moment and said, "I've just told Dan about his situation."

"In fact, even without us, it wouldn't be difficult for Zuniga to come out of his slumber."

As long as Zuniga enters the gambling game and uses up all five times, causing the mission to fail, he will automatically withdraw.

If he wants, he can even come out immediately after entering the challenge space.

After all, the challenge of "Sad Star" can fail on its own.

But Zuniga has not voluntarily withdrawn so far, which actually speaks volumes.

He plans to try to challenge the Sorrowful Star again.

"Don't worry, he can wake up anytime he wants." Angel pointed to the graffiti on the wall and said, "You can ask Dan for the details."

Although Print Girl didn't know the content of the challenge space, as long as she knew that the challenge space was initiated by the Sorrowful Star, she could guess the current situation in Zuniga.

Gonzalez turned to look at the graffiti on the wall.

Dan gave him a slight nod.

Gonzalez understood. He originally wanted to continue asking about Zuniga's situation, but now he stopped asking and walked out, leaving the space to Dan and Angel.

Angel: "If nothing unexpected happens, Zuniga should not be playing badly this time, but challenging the Sorrowful Star."

Dan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "...guessing it."

It was not known before that Zuniga was challenging the Planet of Sorrow, so Dan thought that the aliens could help wake up Zuniga in advance.

Now that he knew it was the Sorrowful Star, and that Zuniga hadn’t woken up for a long time, Dan understood.

Zuniga had challenged the Sorrow Star before. The challenge mission of the Sorrow Star was very difficult, but failure was also very fast...

Dan was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Angel, this mission..."

Dan realized that the outsider could intercept the mission, but this time Zuniga did not give up, but planned to seriously challenge the mission. Wouldn't it be bad to let the outsider intercept it?

The most important thing is that it was Dan himself who called the alien over.

This made her a little overwhelmed.

Angel glanced at Dan and guessed what she was thinking. He shrugged and said, "I know what you are thinking. The mission of the Sorrowful Star is basically impossible for even us to complete."

At this point, Ingres briefly described the mission of "Nine Stars in a Row".

He also talked about Gleipnir's performance.

After Dan heard this, her eyes widened and her mouth opened in surprise. The task of the Nine Stars in a Row was beyond her imagination. Could anyone really accomplish this?
It is even more difficult than the Sorrowful Star mission that Zuniga had challenged before.

Angel: "That's normal. Although people from outer space can complete challenge missions in the outside world, the difficulty of the missions is much higher than that in the challenge space."

"The reason why I was able to complete other tasks before was more importantly because I had external help."

"But this time, we cannot rely on any external help for this mission, so..."

Angel shrugged.

"I'm not the man of destiny, so I probably can't help Zuniga."

Hearing this, Dan showed regret on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart. It didn't matter if other challenge tasks were intercepted, and Zuniga himself didn't care.

But Zuniga is taking the mission of the Planet of Sorrow seriously. If it is intercepted by someone from outside the universe, it will be her fault.

Now that she was sure that Angel couldn't help Zuniga, she felt relieved.

"Anyway, we are very grateful that Mr. Angel can come." Dan's graceful figure turned slightly on the wall, and she knelt down to Angel, but her eyes were staring straight at Angel, with a shy and timid expression.

Angel was unmoved and said calmly: "It's okay. I came here to say that I hope we can cooperate more in the future. After all, many things that Zuniga doesn't like are very useful to low-level magicians like us."

Dan naturally understood what Angel meant and nodded: "Of course, as long as sir doesn't always block my contact card."

Angel: "This time it was an accident, but I still say that if you can't contact me with the contact card, you can go to Prada Media to find Gleipnir."

After saying this, Angel said goodbye to Gonzalez and Print Girl and left in a hurry.

Because Com has arrived at the Eighth Town and has reached Tomb Street.

Although Angel said he couldn't help Zuniga, he still wanted to try the "Nine Stars in a Row" mission... not for the Sorrowful Star, but to see if Com could break through the limitations of the mission.

Angel left the ruins area and walked quickly towards the cemetery street.

Tomb Street is near the homeless house, and the homeless house in the eighth town has a very landmark building: the wishing tree.

So you won’t get lost when walking here. Just head towards the huge wishing tree.

……

Underwater church.

The main body did not continue the live broadcast while it was on the road.

Firstly, there was not much live broadcast content due to the busy journey, and secondly, Gleipnir suddenly sent a message at this time.

"Astrology Granny: I have returned to Prada Media. I originally wanted to see if Yusup knew any information about the Planet of Sorrow, but Yusup had not heard of it."

“However, although there is no news from Yusup, I got an information from Kaushik.”

According to Gleipnir, Kaushik had read an internal document of the Glittering Gold Association when he was young. This document was a study of special-grade monsters by some scholars in the association, and the Star of Sorrow was among them.

However, there are not many descriptions about the Star of Sorrow, because among the special-grade monsters, the Star of Sorrow is also rare.

Very few people get the star of sadness.

Most of the research on the Sad Star comes from the Sad Star himself.

——As for how the Shining Gold Association encountered the Sad Star and how they got the Sad Star to speak out, this internal document did not mention it.

Back to the topic, the Sad Stars are a group of monsters "cursed by fate". They long for friends, but are always forced to be alone. Because their talent can amplify all the unfortunate probabilities of things, this misfortune not only makes the Sad Stars suffer from bad luck, but also makes their friends around them fall into misfortune.

For example, a mechanical device normally has a chance of malfunctioning, but this probability is very small and rarely occurs.

But if the Sorrowful Star comes into contact with this mechanical creation, then even the smallest probability will be magnified.

And this probability amplification only amplifies "unfortunate" things.

This is also the reason why the Sad Star is trapped in bad luck all year round.

"Astrology Granny: This is all the information we have about the Star of Misery. However, based on the mission overview of 'Nine Stars in One', my guess should be correct. The Star of Misery longs for friends, but it cannot make friends unless someone has great luck to offset the misfortune it brings."

Therefore, this time's "Nine Stars in a Row" mission was not intentionally designed to raise the limits.

Because if you are not a lucky person, you will only be dragged down by the Sad Star if you get it.

The task restrictions given by the power of Wonderland are both a threshold and a protection for challengers.

"After hearing this information, are you still planning to complete the Nine Stars Conjunction mission?" Laplace looked at Angel.

Angel thought for a moment and said, "If it can really be done, I'd rather do it."

At worst, you can just not activate it yourself.

Anyway, there are golden scissors, so it can be disassembled at any time.

But the prerequisite is that he can really complete the task of the Nine Stars Linking...

"Angel: By the way, what is the level of monsters called special-grade monsters?"

"Astrology Granny: Yes, above the advanced level is the special level. Above the special level, there is said to be... Kaushik doesn't remember much about these things. Anyway, the information recorded by the Glitter Gold Association is like this, but I don't know where they recorded the information from..."

"Angel: It should be from the dark corner."

"Astrology Granny: I guess it's Dark Corner. After all, you mentioned before that there is a company in Dark Corner called Shining Gold Machinery. With the name Shining Gold, it might be related to the Shining Gold Association."

The team chat didn't last long.

Gleipnir was still busy handling official business, and Angel's real body had already arrived at the Tomb Street.

So, the live broadcast starts again——

Angel and Com were moving quickly through the Tomb Street, which was interconnected and most of the tombs had been converted into warehouses by homeless houses.

It’s just that there are too many tombs, and the goods in the warehouse are gradually piled up.

Their destination was an unmanned warehouse where goods had been piled up for a long time.

As soon as Angel and Com arrived here, they saw the very conspicuous card capsule machine placed in the middle.

At the same time, Angel also received information from Wonderland.

The Wonderland information described the rules for using the card capsule machine, which was no different from what Gleipnir had said before. Angel glanced at it and ignored it.

He was ready to start trying.

The first thing to do is to take out candles, red ropes, etc. from the package prepared in advance and prepare to set up the luck-borrowing ceremony.

However, just when the luck-borrowing ceremony was halfway set up, the Wonderland Information popped up a countdown for illegal operations.

Angel showed regret on his face.

Sure enough, any external force was blocked.

However, Angel looked at the ritual formation on the floor with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Every time he asked Com to come, he would arrange a luck-borrowing ritual, but he didn't know whether the luck-borrowing ritual would work.

Now, through the violation prompt of the fairyland power, he was indirectly sure that this luck-borrowing ritual should have a certain effect... otherwise, it would be impossible to suddenly prompt a violation.

Since the luck-borrowing ritual didn't work, Angel didn't set up the ritual and went straight to the card capsule machine.

Then he pointed to the only four remaining game coins next to him and asked Com to touch them.

Get some good luck.

——"Although I don't know if I can get good luck by touching it like this, I have to try it, right?" This is what Angel said to Laplace.

Laplace said nothing and watched Angel's operation silently.

This time, as expected, when Angel picked up the game coins, there was no prompt for illegal operation.

A message popped up, telling Angel that if he wanted to participate in the Gachapon Machine Challenge, he could only use the game coins in the plate. Any other game coins would not be counted in the challenge.

Angel already knew this information, so he just glanced at it and skipped it.

Then, with excitement, he took out a game coin and threw it into the capsule machine.

bang-

The game coins fell into the coin slot, making a crisp sound.

Kaka-

The capsule toy machine started stirring automatically.

With a few ding-dong sounds, a blue and white capsule box fell from the exit of the gashapon machine.

The next step is to open the gacha, which also determines the result of this "fortune-grabbing" attempt.

Angel opened the capsule and took out the monster card from the box.

The back features an elaborate floral design, while the front reveals a cute rabbit wearing a beautiful floral dress and a wreath on its head.

Um...cherry?
No, it should be said - Rococo Rabbit.

【Name: Rococo Rabbit】

[Rarity: Blue]

[Attribute: Style]

【Illustration: omitted】

[Attack Power/Defense Power: 0/0]

【Fashion Magic: Matching/Removing Armor】

[This card cannot be summoned directly. It must be used with the equipment card "Any dress from the Rococo series". Once triggered, the opponent's equipment card will be forcibly eliminated and the Rococo dress will be forcibly replaced.]

This is what is written on the monster card.

In the monster card duel popular in the Dark Round Table, this is a card that forces the opponent to change their clothes, and its rarity is blue.

After seeing this rarity, Angel was silent.

...I didn't get any luck.

Sure enough, wanting to enchant "luck" just by letting Com touch the game coins is a fantasy.

"The challenge is over, your score is currently: 0"

This rating popped up in the text column at the right time, making Ingres' expression even more silent.

"Hey, is it the Rococo Rabbit card?" Kangm also saw the card in the gashapon machine at this time: "Not bad, although this card is very weak, it is a rare mechanism card. As long as it is paired with a Rococo series skirt, it can force any opponent to change clothes."

Kom seemed to know a lot about Monster Cards, and he talked nonstop: "...There was a time when the deck with Crystal Dream Beast as the core was very brainless. Until later, someone used Rococo Rabbit to directly replace the Crystal Holy Armor on Crystal Dream Beast, instantly destroying the deck."

Seeing that Angel looked a little disappointed, Com thought that it was because he felt that the treasure was not rare enough, so he immediately saved his life.

"Mechanical cards are generally not weak. As long as you face an enemy wearing armor and equipment, Rococo Rabbit can be used. It can be called a small purple card."

Angel: "..."

The small purple card is not a purple card either.

What's more, he didn't want a purple card!

Angel sighed and asked without explaining, "You know a lot about monster cards?"

Kang Mu nodded: "It's okay."

Angel thought for a moment and said, "How was your luck when you drew this kind of Gachapon before?"

Kang Mu stroked his chin and recalled: "...It's OK?"

"Gold as soon as it's issued?"

Kang Mu shook his head. "It's too exaggerated to get a payout in one draw. That's not the case. Ten draws may pay out."

Angel looked at Com deeply.

It seems that this "person loved by destiny" who was rated as seven stars by Potential Eye may not necessarily meet the requirements of Sad Star.

I am lucky, but not extremely lucky.

After all, what the Sad Star wants is to make money as soon as possible.

But then again, Com's luck is actually very mysterious. In some small things in life, his luck may not be very good. But when it comes to big things, his luck is very good.

It was like his luck was a kind of "passive" luck, and under normal circumstances it was just ordinary luck. But it could only be fully exerted after being stimulated enough.

And the luck-changing ceremony is, I think, a kind of excitement.
