Chapter 48

（Thank you very much for the tip from 'Dancing with Maple'!）

(Dear friends! A new week has begun! I hope that "The Great Summoning of the Girl" can attract new readers and retain old ones. When reading, please click, recommend, and collect. That would be very satisfying, so please continue to support me as always!)

"Huff... The bed is still more comfortable!..."

Wu Yan lay on his bed, hugging the quilt and rubbing it wildly. If a girl did this, it would undoubtedly be a pleasant sight, but unfortunately, Wu Yan's actions looked unspeakably lewd...

Wu Yan didn't care whether his actions were lewd or not. After spending a day and night in a place without sky or ground, he missed his bed immensely. Anyone who spent a whole day and night in such an environment, with some demons and ghosts for company, would feel the same as Wu Yan.

Of course, strictly speaking, this bed wasn't Wu Yan's, but Chrysanthemum's. Wu Yan was just a lodger...

Not only Wu Yan, but Chrysanthemum and Miku were also lying in their rooms, snoring loudly. They even refused to let Chrysanthemum's mother in to ask where they had been, which shows how they felt.

After a childish roll, Wu Yan finally stopped his brain-dead actions, lying on his back on the bed. He flipped his hand, and two crystals appeared in his hands.

"Beep! Two 'Mysterious Crystal Fragments' detected. Do you want to combine them?"

This system prompt had been ringing in Wu Yan's ears ever since he received the 'Mysterious Crystal Fragments' from Ichi's mother. It made sense, as Wu Yan's Task 3 was to find two 'Mysterious Crystal Fragments' and combine them into a complete 'Mysterious Crystal'.

At the time, Wu Yan didn't know if completing Task 3 by combining the crystals would immediately leave the副本 world, so he didn't choose to combine them. However, on the way back, Wu Yan had already consulted the system, and the system's response was that the user would only return to the Sparil world when they chose to leave.

With no worries, Wu Yan naturally chose to combine them as soon as possible, because the reward for Task 3 was quite ambiguous: a random reward from equipment, items, abilities, or summoning!

This reward, if good, could be described as amazing. For example, if he drew an S-grade equipment, a god-like item, a Dead Apostle ability, or a demigod-level girl, the reward would be more than just good, and Wu Yan would be ecstatic.

But if he had bad luck and drew a chicken rib reward, he would have nowhere to cry.

If the system hadn't said that the highest level of summonable characters was demigod, not god, Wu Yan would have hoped to draw one to see.

Of course, he still wanted to draw one to see...

Wu Yan had a peculiar feeling about 'lottery'-type activities.

Driven by the thought of "not knowing what he would draw," the lottery was a mix of excitement and anxiety. To Wu Yan, it was a kind of thrill, and he really liked this thrill. (So you are a masochist!)

Wu Yan weighed the 'Mysterious Crystal Fragments' in his hands, and the desire to 'draw a prize' grew stronger, making his heart itch. So, Wu Yan immediately chose to combine them!

When Wu Yan chose 'Combine,' the two 'Mysterious Crystal Fragments' left his hands uncontrollably, floating in the air in front of him. To his surprise, the two crystals suddenly accelerated and collided!

There was no strange sound or phenomenon. At the moment of collision, the two crystals merged like water, and in the blink of an eye, a complete 'Mysterious Crystal' appeared in front of Wu Yan, falling into his arms.

"Beep! Task 3 completed! Task reward: User to randomly draw one reward from equipment, items, abilities, or summoning! Please proceed with the random draw!"

The system list opened automatically in front of Wu Yan without his consent, with a glowing box stopping below the 'Status' bar, above the 'Equipment' option, and a 'Start' icon floating beside it, which surprised Wu Yan.

Anyone who wasn't a fool would know what to do at this moment, so Wu Yan pressed 'Start' without hesitation.

The glowing box flashed between 'Equipment,' 'Items,' 'Abilities,' and 'Summoning,' making Wu Yan's heart race, and a sense of excitement also rose.

When the box stopped, Wu Yan was immediately disappointed, as it stopped on the 'Items' option!

Were points precious? Wu Yan could clearly tell you, they were very precious!

Wu Yan now had 1000 equipment points, 81000 ability points, and 11000 summoning points, but 8250000 item points!

Wu Yan lacked everything now except item points. With this level of points, he could buy most of the items on the item list, so item points were what Wu Yan lacked the least.

The result was a random draw from items?

This made Wu Yan a bit disappointed. S-grade equipment? God-like ability? Demigod-level girl? All became fleeting...

Facing the item list that popped up, Wu Yan pressed 'Start' again with a lack of interest, then ignored it and started thinking about what to do after returning to the Sparil world.

At the beginning, Wu Yan was too weak, so he had to stay in the Giant Beast Forest to do mercenary tasks and system tasks while leveling up.

Now, after a month of副本 training in the Hurricane Butler, Wu Yan's strength had reached the peak of the 5th stage, just one step away from the 6th stage. There was no reason to stay in the Giant Beast Forest anymore.

The outer edge of the Giant Beast Forest no longer satisfied Wu Yan, let alone 69th-level Miku. Staying there was no longer necessary. Moreover, since Wu Yan had crossed over to the Sparil world, he had never left the Giant Beast Forest, only going to the supply town.

So, Wu Yan was thinking about whether he should go to other places, such as the Elu Empire or the Lori Family!

Wu Yan had not forgotten the first person he met after coming to the Sparil world.

Since Lulu went home, Wu Yan had stayed in the Giant Beast Forest for two months and in the Hurricane Butler for one month. The time ratio between the副本 world and the Sparil world was 100:1, so it had been about two months since Lulu went home!

Wu Yan had no relatives or friends in the Sparil world, so if he wanted to go somewhere, he needed a destination. Why not go find Lulu?

But would she welcome him?

Lulu would probably welcome him, and so would Fifi, but her family wouldn't let Lulu freely associate with someone of unknown origin, right?

Is it really a good idea to go find Lulu?

Fifi had said that the strongest in her family was the 9th-stage former patriarch. With a 9th-stage strong person, there would naturally be 8th-stage and 7th-stage strong people. On Wu Yan's side, there was only one 7th-stage Miku. Rushing in recklessly would be suicide!

But I'm not going there to fight, am I? I just want to see Lulu...

Wu Yan couldn't help but laugh bitterly at his own scattered thoughts. He had fought so much that he thought about everything in terms of fighting. No! I'm a shut-in, I should think about 2D girls!

That's right, think carefully about who the next girl to summon should be. That's the key!

Hmm... It seems to be Chrysanthemum...

While Wu Yan was lost in thought, a card suddenly fell onto his body, making him jump. At the same time, the system's voice rang out.

"Beep! Obtained 'Ability Acquisition'!"

Ability Acquisition? What is it?

Wu Yan looked at the card in his hand, which was completely white, with nothing on it. He shook his head and activated the system's detection function. The system's detection function wasn't just for checking levels; it could also check the uses of items and equipment, like an appraisal.

When he checked, Wu Yan was stunned.

Ability Acquisition: After use, obtain one ability from a summoned character. The obtained ability will be one-tenth of the character's ability. 300000 item points.

An item to obtain a summoned character's ability? Is there such an item in the item list?

Wu Yan opened the item list and, after a bit of searching, found 'Ability Acquisition,' which cost 300000 item points. It was quite expensive!

But it was also worth it.

Wu Yan held the 'Ability Acquisition' and smiled. Although he didn't have high hopes for this lottery, drawing an item worth 300000 item points was still pretty good. If it had been in the past, it might have been a pleasant surprise.

Well, although it can't compare to the S-grade equipment I imagined, being able to obtain an ability is still good.

Currently, Wu Yan's only summoned character was Miku, and Miku's only ability was 'Electric Shock (Lv5).' So, he could only obtain this ability!

Obtaining one-tenth of Miku's superpower? That would be at least Lv4! Getting a Lv4 Electric Shock ability for 300000 item points was a fair deal.

To get a Lv4 ability in the ability list, you need 30000 ability points, and you have to exchange for Lv1 to Lv3 abilities first, which would cost about 30000 ability points in total.

A 300000 item point 'Ability Acquisition' for a 30000 ability point ability, it seems like a loss, right?

Actually, it's not. Item points and ability points aren't directly comparable. Among the four types of points, the most precious are summoning points, as they are the hardest to obtain. Next are ability points, followed by equipment points, and item points are the easiest to obtain.

After all, to level up, Wu Yan had to fight monsters. As long as he killed them, he would usually get some corpses, which he could turn in to the system for some item points.

Among the items turned in, the easiest to exchange for points are item points!

So, 300000 item points and 30000 ability points are not that different. It just depends on how Wu Yan uses them. If he uses them on a weak character, it would be a loss, but if he uses them on a strong character, it could even be a gain.

Using it on Miku is just right!

So, Wu Yan used the 'Ability Acquisition' without hesitation, clicking on Miku's character status.

"Beep! Obtained 'Electric Shock (Lv4)'!"

A blue-white current suddenly started flowing over Wu Yan's body, and as the current flowed, he felt a tingling sensation. The tingling grew stronger, and gradually, his body began to ache, which surprised Wu Yan.

"Beep! User's level is too low to adapt to the ability's intensity. Ability is reacting, forcibly upgrading the user's level!"

"Beep! User's physical strength meets the requirements. Level upgrade successful!"

"Beep! Congratulations, user's level has been upgraded! Current level: 50!"

The sudden warm current made Wu Yan stunned again. Feeling his body's strength increasing, he became even more confused.

Could obtaining an ability also level up?
