"Seems like Natlan's situation is pretty complicated too."
After listening to what the warriors said, Paimon shrugged toward the girl.
"There might be other hidden circumstances."
The Traveler nodded slightly.
Every nation's Archons have their own secrets.
For example, the Geo Archon's feigned death, the Hydro Archon's century-long plan, and the Anemo Archon's Dandelion Wine...
The Pyro Archon suddenly doing something incomprehensible was probably due to his own considerations.
The Traveler prepared to continue exchanging with the warriors to learn more about Natlan.
At that moment, a petite girl ran over holding a weapon like a shovel. "Coming, coming."
"Sorry, sis Xilonen said to upgrade the Skyriser Drill, which delayed me a bit."
The one who came was none other than Kachina.
[Geo loli!]
[Rex Lapis has good taste.]
[Rex Lapis: White hair? Then give her a Vision.]
[But isn't Kachina's hair color not white?]
The players erupted into heated discussion upon seeing Kachina.
This was the first gacha character they had encountered in Natlan, and it was also a rare Geo element character.
According to the content introduced in the preview livestream, after completing a segment of plot, Kachina would automatically join the players' teams.
In other words, this was a character that could be obtained without pulling, which looked favorable no matter how you sliced it.
After learning about the Traveler's experiences, Kachina very helpfully offered to serve as a guide and take them on a tour of the Children of Echoes.
After the tour was done, followed by another segment of plot, they would probably receive Kachina.
"Can't wait—I'm starting to pull right now!"
But Mu Yang couldn't wait. When Kachina ran ahead, he didn't control the character to follow; instead, he directly opened the gacha interface, preparing to pull Kachina out of the banner first.
The character currently up on the banner was the 5-star Pyro Claymore Kinich.
The accompanying 4-stars were the Geo Polearm Kachina, the Hydro Catalyst Mualani, and the Dendro Polearm Yaoyao.
If Yaoyao's slot were swapped for Chuychu, then the entire banner would be Natlan characters.
However, Chuychu had just been up on the previous version's banner, so having her re-enter the banner now would be a bit too rushed.
After all, certain Cryo characters had gone nearly a year without re-running. Even though they were 5-stars and Chuychu was a 4-star, Chuychu couldn't cut in line either.
Moreover, Kinich requires maintaining Burning reactions or Burgeon reactions on-field to activate his Elemental Skill "One Thoughtless Shot," so he particularly needs someone to apply Dendro off-field. Choosing Yaoyao is perfectly suitable.
The other 5-star banner was up on Yelan.
"Hmm... Kinich is still worth pulling." After hesitating for a bit, Mu Yang ultimately decided to pull on the Kinich banner.
Which man could resist the temptation of bubble-batting and spinning in circles?
"Pull, pull!"
[Will it lose the 50/50?]
[It will lose.]
[Go tell my hard pity!]
[Didn't Genshin add the Capturing Radiance mechanism in the new version? How does it work?]
[It says it can increase the probability of winning soft pity, but factoring in the Capturing Radiance triggering a soft pity win, the probability is only about 55%.]
[Then it's fine.]
Mu Yang always pulled in 10-pulls.
The first 10-pull got Kachina.
"Oh, not bad mood-wise."
"Strive to pull Mualani too."
In Mu Yang's calculations, Mualani's damage was very high. Under a tech god's operation, her damage was even higher than some staple 5-star characters.
The second 10-pull: Kachina.
The third: Favonius Sword.
The fourth: Yaoyao.
"I fu... could it be that in trying to pull Mualani, I'll pull Kinich first?"
Mu Yang felt a bit worried inside. He still wanted to first check what characters would come in the next version to plan his Primogems.
But upon thinking about it, he was currently on soft pity.
With his luck, soft pity was guaranteed to lose—what was there to worry about?
The fifth: Kachina.
The sixth: Kachina.
The seventh: Sacrificial Fragments.
The eighth: gold came out.
"Lose, lose, lose—lose for me!"
Seeing the golden meteor streak across the gacha interface, Mu Yang hurriedly clasped his hands together in prayer: "It has to lose!"
However, this golden meteor was different from before. Rainbow-colored light gathered around it, making it even more brilliant.
"This is... Capturing Radiance?"
Mu Yang was pulling for the first time since 5.0 launched, so this was naturally the first time he had seen Capturing Radiance.
Immediately after, his heart leaped to his throat.
Capturing Radiance exists to guarantee a soft pity win.
In other words, the current soft pity was guaranteed not to lose.
"Ki—"
A black silhouette appeared amid the golden flash, and then the figure was revealed—it was the up 5-star Kinich.
Next, the character pulled this time was Yaoyao again!
"No way—I already pulled Kinich, and Mualani still hasn't come out?!"
Mu Yang's mentality was about to explode.
He had seen online many people who, in trying to pull a 4-star, ended up pulling a 5-star instead.
At the time, he had thought it was too exaggerated—how could anyone have such bad luck?
But when it happened to him, he nearly passed out from sheer frustration.
"Mualani, we have no prior grudge, and I haven't offended you anywhere—why haven't you come out yet?"
Mu Yang continued pulling on the Kinich banner.
Having lost soft pity, he no longer had to worry about gold coming out early.
He just needed to be careful when it came to the eighth 10-pull.
However, the first seven 10-pulls still didn't yield Mualani—instead, he pulled Kachina to C6.
[LOL]
[Other streamers get Mualani to C6 in under 100 pulls, and you're nearly at 200 without even getting a 0/1.]
[In the Children of Echoes tribe, you can definitely only pull Kachina from the Children of Echoes.]
[If you want to pull Mualani, you have to go to the People of the Springs.]
"I refuse to believe it."
Mu Yang's eyes glared viciously at the screen, as if he wanted to pierce it with his gaze.
He carefully clicked the mouse.
This time, it wasn't a 10-pull anymore—he pulled singles one by one.
"I'll stop once I pull another 4-star, whether it's Mualani or not."
Thinking this, Mu Yang pulled one after another.
Then, he saw another golden meteor streak across the sky of the gacha interface.
Good news: Capturing Radiance wasn't triggered this time.
Bad news: Still didn't lose.
"Kinich, you again!"
Mu Yang felt completely drained, having lost all means of resistance.
He opened Kinich's constellations, pinning his hopes on them not being too underwhelming.
[Kinich gains 100% Crit DMG Bonus when using his Elemental Skill.]
"Hm?"
Mu Yang widened his eyes, instantly perking up.
Turns out Kinich's C1 gives +100% Crit DMG.
Then it's fine.
