He finally used his 491 Gacha Tickets. He saw Summoning Coins here and there since the notification from the System itself didn't pop out altogether. Instead, it came one after another, changing the previous one. So, even though the change was fast, it was readable for the current him.
He got seventeen rank 2 Spear, which will be useful for him. Along with the other rank 2 weapons which he might pawn it off somewhere. He remembered there was a function to recycle the item he had. But the System told him that the function was erased the moment he came to the upper world for several reasons, but the most important thing, it was better to sell them somewhere or remake them to something useful.
Although, Alex seemed a bit reluctant to it, he can do nothing about it. He recalled the gacha on Earth, there was no recycling system there. For his Gacha System, who relied on his memory to evolve, this kind of update bound to happen sooner or later.
Alex thought about the other Gachas, Techniques Gacha, and Materials Gacha. They were not very useful to him. He didn't have any need for Technique Gacha since he can get all the techniques he needs in Martial Arts Pavilion, if not Premium Gacha, who occasionally gave out Martial Arts for him. As for Material Gacha, he only needs materials for Medicinal Ingredients for pills.
[Host, the Technique Gacha aside. You will find the usage for Material Gacha after you have high cultivation, which requires a high rank pill. The higher the pill level, the higher the quality of its medicinal materials. Because of that, it will be hard for you to produce them in a large quantity. But it will be solved by using Material Gacha]
Alex's eyes widened. True, the high rank materials would be rarer and rarer from now on. According to the System who said the Normal Gacha would continuously evolve along with him and will give items according to his current cultivation. In other words, if he were a Martial King, he would get Rank 5 Materials from the Gacha. Then if it became higher such as Martial Monarch, he could get Rank 7 Materials from the Normal Gacha. That would be too useful for him. Thus, he agreed to the System.
[As for your Technique Gacha, there will be another function in it for your enjoyment. I know you are cultivating to reunite with your wives as soon as possible. But if you work too hard all the time, you will break before you know it. That's why System will make another enjoyment for you later to help you ease your mind sometimes]
"...Thank you, System."

Alex arranged the items he got from the Gacha. He had nineteen rank 2 or above spears. They were the seventeen spears he got just now along with two rank 3 spears he had before.
Alex waited for a few more minutes until the rebound from 'Full Throttle' disappeared. Then, he recuperated a bit before finally got out from the window since it was the shortest route. If others thought it rude, then he can just say his Senior Sister taught him that.
He searched his Senior Sister on the field and found her, standing at the edge of the field while watching the scenery outside. She noticed his presence. She turned back and walked toward him. "Have you rest enough? How is your condition, and do you need any more rest? We are not in a hurry, so it is fine if you want to rest more."
Alex looked at her mysteriously. There was a trace of reminiscing in her face, along with loneliness when she watched the scenery. She seemed missing her home, "Senior Sister, you..."
"What is it?" She asked with a gentle smile.
"Nothing" Alex shook his head. He just met them today. He thought it was rude to ask something personal. He smiled back, "I'm fine now, thanks to Senior Sister nursing me."
"You exaggerated it a bit. I didn't do anything." Song Yu said, "Well, Let's go back to the topic. I'm going to do some demonstration of my Sword Arts."
"Are you sure about this Senior Sister? After all, we might be a rival later, you know. If I know all of your Sword Arts, wouldn't it put me in advantages?"
"You sure love joking, Alex. Well, I don't mind if you really can be my rival later." Said Song Yu, she also muttered something in a low voice. "After all, I still need to go back to my home after the grand tournament. Even if you are a genius, you wouldn't be able to reach Martial Lord stage in three years."
"Is there something bothering you, Senior Sister?" Alex said in confusion. Seeing her loneliness, she seemed like someone not from in this place.
"Nothing. I really can't wait for you to be my rival, eh Junior Brother Alex" Said Song Yu with her usual cheerful smile. "Then, I will show you my four main Sword Arts...maybe three since you already knew about Seven Stars Cut."
Alex nodded.
She then raised her sword to her chest level and held it with her two hands. The Spiritual Energy started gathering around her sword as her sword started glowing. When she swung her sword, Four light flew from her sword. They were flying from four sides, left, right, top, and bottom. Then, they met again, a few meters from Song Yu.
Without stopping, Song Yu then raised her hand on top of her head. More than ten swords appeared surrounding her. The swords flew toward the same spot where the four light met. The swords flew from every direction to the same spot. If there were a person at that spot, he would, without a doubt, torn to pieces.
"That's two. The other one is a Sword Dance. I don't know if you are interested in it, though. Want to see it first?"
Alex pondered a bit then nodded his head. It didn't do any wrong to see it first before judging it.
Song Yu then proceed with her Sword Dance. It can be said, this is a technique exclusive only to her. Every swing and step is beautiful. He thought he could see this for a few hours without bored. But Alex also knew how sharp her movement was. He tried to counter it in his mind. And yeah, the same as Charya's Sword Rite, Alex had difficulty in countering each of its movements.
After she finished the movement, Alex can't help but applause. It was that beautiful Sword Dance. Song Yu walked toward him, "How was it?"
"It was beautiful, Senior Sister."
"Thank you. But that's not what I mean, I'm asking if there is any technique you fancy? If not, there are some Sword Arts that I used back then but not used it anymore now. Well, I will explain it first. The First Sword Art is called Four Directions Slash, the effect you have seen it just now. The second one is called Omnisword. Usually, I used them in close combat. I can use 'Four Directions Slash' to pressure my opponent. But it also has a fatal flow..."
"If other approached you up close where you wouldn't have any space to use it."
"As expected, you can find even though I only used it once. I didn't believe it before, I didn't believe you can learn other Sword Arts with just looking at it. But now you can see through a flaw that hard to notice with just a glance, I'm sure of it." Said Song Yu while nodding her head. Then, she continued, "That's right. To use this 'Four Directions Slash', you need some space with your opponent, If your opponent locked your sword and you also didn't have that distance, this technique won't have any use."
"That's why I'm combining it with the second technique, 'Omnisword'. It is close to the technique you used when fighting Master. The one that summoned five swords. It can be said this technique is the upgrade of your technique. The only restriction is the range, the limit was fifty meters. It can't be any longer than that. I used this technique to make a distance from my opponent.
As for the last one, it was Blackwade Sword Dance. The technique used your flexibility to overpower your enemy. My opponent usually need a long time to get used to this Sword Dance. And it is giving me a perfect opportunity to strike him. That's right, this is not one of the sect Martial Arts. This is my clan Martial Art."
"Eh? Your clan's Martial Art? But, Are you sure I can practice it? I mean, it's your clan Martial Arts, and I'm only an outsider" Alex asked.
"It's fine." Song Yu assured him. She can say that because she didn't believe Alex would be seen by her clan.
Alex thought about it. 'Four Directions Slash' was very practical in close combat. An attack from four directions like that was hard to block. The fatal flaw can be ignored as long as he used 'Desolation' or that 'Omnisword'. As for the last Sword Dance, Alex felt he heard the name of Blackwade from somewhere.
"Blackwade..." Alex muttered in a low voice. But it can't escape from Song Yu's ears.
"Don't mind about it, Alex. Well, Putri also knew about this. This Song Yu isn't my real name. My real name is Isabel Blackwade, but don't ask any more about it, alright?" Said Song Yu while making a wry smile.
Alex nodded solemnly. "We have our own circ.u.mstances. I just thought I heard the name of 'Blackwade' somewhere."
"You heard it from somewhere?" Song Yu was surprised by the sudden revelation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex tried recalling, where he had heard about that name. After one minute, he finally remembered one thing he got from the Gacha back in the lower world. He took a black card out of his Gacha Inventory. There was nothing noticeable in this black card. There was only a white 'Blackwade' written on it along with two big golden 'V' behind it. Then, he showed it to Song Yu.
"This...this is my clan VIP Card!" Shocked, Song Yu said in disbelief. She thought there was no way for the people here to know the name of 'Blackwade'. She looked at him with her mouth still wide open. "You...How do you have this card?"
"Emm...My master gave it to me" Alex said. He can't say anything about his system, after all. So he can only blame his Master for this.
"Master? You have a master? Who is he/she?" She grabbed his shoulder and asked him, expecting the answer. Her eyes became dangerous, Alex was like prey in her eyes.
"Senior Sister, you are scaring me." Alex said to calm her down.
"Ah!" Song Yu finally realized what she was doing. She apologized to Alex and calmed down.
"I can't tell you who he is. But yes, I have a Master." Alex said.
"Umm, Sorry. I was too excited, just now. Well, do you know what this card is?"
"No" Alex shook his head.
"My clan is a merchant. We provide anything, you can say it is a gathering of Forging Master Guild and Alchemist Guild. We can provide you the materials or the finished goods. For a VIP card like this, we usually provided them with a twenty to forty percent discount. After all, they are our esteemed customers. I heard there are seven VIP cards out there. All of the one who holds this card have extraordinary power or influence."
Alex frowned, He looked at the ordinary black card in his hand. Back in the lower world, he looked down on this ordinary black card. Never thought, this black card was such a luxurious item. The System that gave this to him became more and more mysterious.
"But..." Song Yu noticed something on the card. She realized the Black Card had two 'V' instead of one. "How can there are two 'V'. The usual Blackwade VIP card only has one golden 'V'. I never heard there are Blackwade VIP cards with two 'V' on it. Is this a fake?"
"I don't know." Alex shrugged his shoulder.
"Can I check this card?"
Alex nodded and gave her the card. Song Yu took the card from Alex's hand, and then she took out a white card from her space ring. When the two cards met, they started to glow. "It is real."
It surprised her, she looked at Alex. "Since it is real, don't tell anyone you have this card. After all, this is one of the most wanted things in the outside world."
"I don't understand." Alex furrowed his eyebrows.
"Well, I will explain it to you. First of all, Blackwade clan is..."
