Besides, it wasn't like Rosaline was actually going to spend the night in his room, and he needed a place to perform his card pulls anyway.
After giving Teresa a few instructions to keep an eye on Rosaline, Luo Qing left the safehouse, intending to find a good spot for his card pulls.
On Narukami Island, the Grand Narukami Shrine was considered the prime spot for fortune, but it was too far away, and Luo Qing wasn't about to make that journey.
After some thought, he looked at Tenshukaku in the distance and had an idea.
...
On the other side.
Ever since the exam had ended, Raiden Shogun had returned to Tenshukaku to meditate.
Suddenly, a slight breeze swept past her back. Without turning around, she already knew who it was—Luo Qing, of course.
"What do you want now?"
"It's been a while since I last saw Ei, and I thought I'd drop by for a chat."
Luo Qing placed the light novels and snacks he was carrying to the side, sitting cross-legged before the Shogun.
"A chat?"
Raiden Shogun glanced at the two large bags of gifts, frowning slightly.
How come every time Luo Qing visits, it's either to see Ei or to ask for a favor? He never thinks of bringing me any gifts for a friendly chat.
"Yes, exactly."
Luo Qing nodded with a smile, "So, can I go in this time? Don't worry, I won't take long."
"..."
Raiden Shogun was momentarily speechless.
She wasn't sure why, but she felt a reluctance to let Luo Qing enter.
"Huh? What's with that expression?"
Noticing her hesitation, Luo Qing leaned forward and teased, "Are you jealous?"
"!"
"Ridiculous!"
Raiden Shogun's voice turned cold, "Why would I be jealous of you?!"
"Alright, alright, I understand. I'll make sure to bring you some treats next time."
Luo Qing chuckled, unfazed by her frosty demeanor. He spoke gently.
"If I didn't think you'd overpower me in a fight, I might have given you a comforting head pat right now."
"..."
[+1 Frustration Value from Raiden Shogun]
Raiden Shogun's brows furrowed. Luo Qing's patronizing tone irked her.
With a wave of her hand, she threw Luo Qing into the Plane of Euthymia.
This guy... he's so irritating.
She wasn't sure when she'd make up her mind to cut him down.
...
As his vision returned, Luo Qing found himself within the Plane of Euthymia.
When it came to superstitious card pulls, it was all about making an event of it.
And this plane was his stage.
Maybe he could hit the jackpot here?
As long as he didn't claim his prizes immediately, not even Ei would sense the system's presence, so he wasn't worried about being caught.
"Seriously, you've never cleaned this place, have you?"
Seeing light novels and dessert boxes scattered haphazardly around, Luo Qing sighed. He walked over to Ei, placed the light novels and snacks on the floor, and started tidying up the trash.
This disorganized space had a distinct feel of a stay-at-home girl.
Ei slowly opened her eyes, speaking in a soft voice.
"These are merely possessions. Their presence here doesn't affect me."
"That's just an excuse. You're simply lazy."
"..."
[+1 Frustration Value from Ei]
"Did you bring the latest updates?"
Ignoring his jab, Ei's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she eyed the light novels in the bag—like a purple-furred ragdoll cat.
"I brought all the latest releases."
Luo Qing smiled, feeling an overwhelming urge to pat her on the head.
"If you're that eager, why not go out and buy them yourself instead of always waiting for me? Aren't you anxious?"
"I remain here to pursue the path of Eternity. I can't just go out for trivial matters."
Ei pulled the bag towards her, skillfully sorting the novels in the order of their release.
She was determined to seek Eternity, and leaving her domain casually would go against that purpose. And she couldn't bring herself to ask the Shogun to buy them for her, so she relied on Luo Qing for the updates.
If Luo Qing hadn't come, she wouldn't have known what to do.
"Ha, so what made you come out last time?" Luo Qing asked offhandedly.
Ei feigned ignorance. "Did I?"
Seeing Luo Qing's eyes fixed on her, she couldn't hold back any longer and mumbled,
"That time doesn't count... the Shogun made me come out."
"..."
Luo Qing felt a strange sensation at that moment.
Was this really the almighty Archon who ruled over Inazuma? She was acting like a bashful shut-in!
She wasn't like this during my earlier visits!
Did I really manage to spoil this girl?!
After considering it, Luo Qing decided to test his theory. He teased gently.
"You're acting a bit different today."
"Different?"
Ei looked puzzled. "What's different about me?"
"Cute."
"..."
[+1 Frustration Value from Ei]
Why does he keep saying such weird things?!
"If you have nothing else to do, you should leave."
Ei picked up a light novel, pretending to focus on reading.
"Hey, who delivers gifts and then gets chased away? Can't I stay a little longer?"
Luo Qing sat down cross-legged across from her.
Was it his imagination, or had she just blushed?
Is this girl's defense that weak?
I hope I didn't spoil her too much...
"I'm reading."
Ei lifted the book, ignoring Luo Qing.
Luo Qing's main objective was to find a good spot for his card pulls.
Seeing that Ei was pretending not to notice him, he decided not to say anything more. He glanced at the deep valley of her chest, swallowed, and silently recited to himself:
"The Dao is vast, the fragrance eternal."
Then, with a focused thought, he opened the card pull interface.
Alright, it's up to you!
Eighty-pull draw!
Since obtaining the Resurrection Armor was practically guaranteed, Luo Qing's only concern was how many pulls it would take to get it.
Not bothering to watch the animation, he skipped each round without seeing any golden glow, preferring to check the final results all at once.
One pull... two... three... four... five...
Seven consecutive purple lights left Luo Qing feeling numb.
Really? Is it going to take the full guarantee?
Looks like Ei has terrible luck too!
Finally, on the last pull, a golden glow appeared, but Luo Qing's face showed little excitement.
He slowly opened the rare item list he'd obtained.

Chương 110: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [110] [100 PS]
Bonus Chapter!
---
His gaze settled on the one labeled Interstellar Toilet.
[Interstellar Toilet: A gateway to a new world. Once set up, sitting on the toilet allows the user to teleport to any other linked toilet, bypassing any spatial restrictions.]
"..."
Luo Qing was dumbfounded.
The items he'd received before were strange, but they had always been within his range of understanding.
But this... a toilet for teleportation?!
Was it supposed to flush him away to another dimension?!
After calming himself down, he glanced at another new item he had received—the Vision Binding Card.
[Vision Binding Card: Upon use, binds the Vision currently owned by the host to the target, gifting it to them.]
This thing counts as a purple-grade item?
Luo Qing wondered.
The system claimed the draws were random, but the items always ended up having a purpose. Maybe the Cryo Vision was meant to be given to someone else?
But who would need a Cryo Vision?
Looking at the three new Affection Enhancement Card ProMax he had obtained, Luo Qing started to have a hunch.
Did the system sense what I wanted to do with her... so it gave me these...?
Having reviewed all the new items, he turned his attention to the final golden one.
[Guardian Angel: A passive item. When the wearer loses all vital signs, the item is consumed to reconstruct the body, reviving the user in a weakened state.]
[Note: The item has a cooldown period. After use, it requires a year to recharge before it can be used again. (Can be used on others)]
Having this item meant he essentially had an extra life. Even if he were unexpectedly struck down, he could survive.
With the current favorability Raiden Shogun and Ei held for him, he wasn't too concerned about either of them harming him.
The main reason he wanted this item was to win over Rosaline from the Tsaritsa.
Of the few people under his command, only Teresa had any real combat power. The other three—Natalia and her companions—were mainly suited for administrative roles. If they encountered Lumine or any other well-armed forces, they'd struggle to defend themselves.
The Fatui Harbingers were all talented. Recruiting just a few would greatly strengthen his own faction.
Besides, Rosaline was destined to die someday, so why not... make the most of it? She could still be a useful pawn.
After all, when had a Harbinger ever hesitated to backstab a colleague?
First, Rosaline... then Arlecchino... followed by Sandrone and Columbina.
And maybe even Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa...
Hiss...
Heh heh...
Luo Qing indulged in a little daydream, picturing himself surrounded by beautiful and capable subordinates. A slight smile formed on his lips.
"What are you smiling about?"
A curious voice came from across the room.
Why was Luo Qing grinning to himself like that, even making some odd sounds...?
"Oh, it's nothing,"
Luo Qing waved his hand, "I just thought of something happy."
"What is it?"
"I'm not telling you."
"..."
Fine, don't tell me then.
Ei huffed lightly and resumed reading her book.
After a moment, the sound of Luo Qing tinkering with something reached her ears.
She set the book down, frowning slightly. Looking up, she saw Luo Qing fiddling with some strange metallic object on the floor.
"What is that?"
"A gateway to a new world,"
Luo Qing replied absentmindedly, not bothering to look up as he adjusted the object, mumbling strange things to himself.
"...How can a toilet not be used for... well, you know..."
"..."
Ei was stunned.
She recognized every word Luo Qing said, but together they made no sense.
She set her book down and walked over to him, eyeing the strange, metallic object that gleamed with an odd sheen.
"What are you doing?"
"Opening a gateway to a new world. Is that hard to understand?"
"..."
Ei's brow furrowed.
"Speak clearly."
"Well, with your brain, I think—uh, I mean, just wait a minute, and I'll show you,"
Luo Qing said casually. He then mentally accessed his inventory and retrieved the second Interstellar Toilet, setting it up across the room.
After another series of adjustments, Luo Qing stood up and exhaled deeply.
"Alright, it's done."
He turned to Ei, smiling mischievously.
"Didn't you want to know what it does? Sit on it, and you'll see."
"..."
Ei glanced at Luo Qing, her expression as if to say, Do you think I'm a fool?
"Be good, trust me."
"...?"
"Cough, cough... fine, you don't have to sit on it. But why the sword? Put that thing away!"
As soon as Ei retracted the blade she had poised at his neck, Luo Qing plopped down on the toilet with a grin.
"Watch closely. Don't blink!"
With that, he pressed the flush button.
The sound of rushing water filled the room, and Luo Qing felt a strange suction from below. In the next instant, the room blurred, and he found himself sitting on the second Interstellar Toilet.
"Huh... that was kind of fun..."
Recalling the odd sensation, he looked back at Ei.
"Wanna try? It's pretty cool~"
Then he pressed the button again, reappearing at his original spot.
"..."
Ei was silent.
From her perspective, the moment Luo Qing pressed the button, the strange object swallowed him, only to spit him out on the other side.
Since she had established the Plane of Euthymia, her sensitivity to spatial forces had sharpened.
In that brief moment of travel, she had indeed sensed a spatial distortion.
Could that so-called 'gateway to a new world' really possess such power?
Luo Qing went back and forth a few more times. Seeing Ei still standing there in a daze, he urged her again,
"Are you sure you don't want to try? It's really fun~"
"..."
Ei hesitated.
She had to admit she was intrigued by the spatial energy within the toilet.
But the way Luo Qing had sat on it earlier...
"Come on, it doesn't hurt at all! Give it a go~"
Luo Qing coaxed.
"..."
Fine... I'll try it.
A faint blush spread across Ei's cheeks as she adjusted her clothes, staring at the strange toilet.
Steeling herself, she slowly sat down.
Then, she pressed the flush button.
Immediately, she felt an odd suction from below.
"Mmm... uhn..."
In the next instant, she was on the other side.
Luo Qing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Nice sound, Miss Ei... Cough, cough! Let's talk this out, put the sword away!"
Ei sheathed the blade she had raised again, her face slightly red from the strange sensation she'd just experienced.
"Where did you get this thing?"
"That's a secret,"
Luo Qing replied with a smile. He stashed one of the toilets back into his inventory, then patted the remaining one and said,
"I'm leaving this 'gateway to a new world' here. From now on, I'll use it to visit you."
Ei frowned slightly.
"This is my domain. Who said you could leave your things here?"
"With it, I can bring you more light novels and treats anytime I want~"
"..."
Ei was speechless.
