HI3: I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

Chapter 96: Chapter 4: Sleeping Beauty



Wait a minute! How did I end up owing so many crystals? Didn't Bro Da Wei give me a red envelope with 6,800 crystals earlier?

Suddenly, Rozaliya realized her predicament—how had she amassed such a large debt?

"Stupid Rozaliya, you haven't even opened the red envelope yet." Liliana, exasperated, put her head in her hands. Has being in this body made you this much slower in the head?

It seemed that I shouldn't use the "Rocket Headbutt" too casually in the future; it could turn me into a fool.

"Oh, claiming my rewards!"

Rozaliya hurriedly opened the inventory, scanning the numerous items, making it difficult to find anything specific.

After searching for a while, I finally found Brother Da Wei's red envelope, and surprisingly, there were 5 Moon Cards right next to it...

"So many Moon Cards!" I exclaimed, rubbing my eyes. "There really are 5..."

(TL Note: I think Moon Cards are monthly cards.)

Rozaliya suddenly remembered the moment she arrived here, when her head was pounding, and something strange occurred with the System—she received 5 Moon Cards and 45 Crystals...

Wasn't the bug compensation supposed to be just 60 Crystals?

Why would they go further?

Wait... 5 Moon Cards... and 45 Crystals. Why did that seem so familiar?

That's right! Before crossing over, after drawing the Queen of the void, I had exactly 45 Crystals left.

And then there were the 5 Moon Cards...

Let me calculate. That means I should have been left with five months of Moon Card access. But why am I only being given them now? And as a compensation reward, no less...

How incredibly shady.

System:

Moon Card: Claim 30 Crystals daily for one month.

(TL Note: Oh...)

Shortly after, Rozaliya realized why the System had just gifted her the crystal and monthly pass.

Previously, upon completing tasks, a "World Store" option had become available in the System menu but remained inaccessible—now, post-transition, it had lit up.

Activated...

Clicking on the store...

The first category: Standard Supply Card, Focused Supply Card, Expanded Supply Card.

Uniform price: 280 crystals per card.

The second category: A normal store with various items.

Experience chips, assorted materials, Valkyrie fragments... even items from the two worlds she had previously experienced were available.

From Inuyasha: Tenseiga, Tessaiga... (TL: Legendary swords used by MC's.)

From Slime: Tenma Sword... (Milim's Sword)

All these could only be purchased with specific HI3 crystals, as gold coins held no value here...

"This pricing is off! In each world, you can only farm so many crystals, and you won't even let me pay-to-win—so why are the prices still so high? Is this a scam?"

This store infuriated Rozaliya.

However, the System carefully refrained from responding to her.

"Rozaliya, it's useless to dwell on it. Don't worry about it too much. You're already a mature Valkyrie now; you should learn to rely on yourself," Liliya said calmly, patting Rozaliya on the shoulder.

"..."

"Wow... Liliya, this store is so unfair!" Rozaliya immediately turned around and hugged Liliya tightly.

"Don't be sad, Rozaliya. Maybe the chances are higher than you think?"

"You're right! Well, let's give it a try then!"

Well, I've already racked up so much debt anyway. Might as well stop worrying about repayment for now and focus on arming myself.

Rozaliya's account balance now stood at a meager 45 crystals. Earlier, upon crossing over, she had lost 2,400 crystals, leaving her with just 600. Since then, her balance had dwindled further as more was directly deducted.

Rozaliya hastily opened her red envelope, regaining 6,480 crystals once again. At the same time, she activated all her monthly passes, claiming the day's quota of 30 crystals.

Her crystal count now soared to a total of 6,555...

Rozaliya accessed the system interface and selected the two Valkyries: Cherry Bomb and Blueberry Blitz.

Both were level one, equipped only with the system-provided Super Novice Kit. They had no Stigmata yet...

Both Rozaliya and Liliya were great sword Valkyries, and Rozaliya's inventory still contained some large swords.

However, the best ones were all equipped with Himeko.

As a perfectionist, she naturally wanted each Valkyrie to have their own signature weapon.

"Purchase 10 Focused Supply Cards."

Her crystals decreased by 2800, leaving her with 3775 crystals.

The system's interface immediately appeared on Rozaliya's familiar replenishment screen.

"A ten-pull, then... Let's see if we can get Hannah, a full set of top/mid/bottom. Might as well start right away!"

And then... as the Homu Supply Chests dropped...

Congratulations! Obtained: Homu Treasure x1 / Hannah (Top) :::

Who said that without a miss, Hannah wouldn't drop?

Rozaliya's eyebrows furrowed, feeling a sudden urge to punch something...

Obtained: Advanced Skill Material x5 / Ogier (Top) :::

At least skill materials aren't bad...

Obtained: Twin Ether Crystals x2 / MiG-13 Rocket Launcher :::

Obtained: Ether Crystal x1 / Lucia (Bottom)

With each passing supply, Rozaliya's expression grew darker.

Finally, it was the last draw...

Soul Crystal x1 / Sleeping Beauty

"!!"

The sight of a pale pink great sword emitting purple light swept away all of Rozaliya's gloom in an instant, filling her with unexpected delight.

"Liliya, Liliya, my graduation weapon has been drawn!" Rozaliya turned, embracing Liliya as she leaped up, her previous dejection vanished without a trace.

"Yes, your weapon has been drawn, Rozaliya," Liliya responded, her demeanor more composed than Rozaliya's excitement. "But we still don't have enough crystals for you to draw Stigmas, let alone for my weapon and Stigmas."

"Take your time," Liliya continued, "you can use temporary weapons and Stigmas for now."

With a delighted smile, Rozaliya promptly claimed her newly drawn weapon.

Initial Four-Star Great Sword: Sleeping Beauty

A silicon-based greatsword constructed using Honkai beast carapace. The sword is lined with thorns and hooks that vibrates when in contact with Honkai energy.

This is a large sword with a beautiful appearance, predominantly pink with white accents.

Weapon Skills:

Living Edge:

Possesses a 100% chance to interrupt enemy attacks. Significantly enhances the user's defense, critical hit probability, and critical hit damage. When the user is injured, their self-healing ability is greatly increased.

Thorny Briar:

Drastically improves both attack and defense (stackable). During combat, Sleeping Beauty automatically inflicts massive area-of-effect damage every second (no cost) until the battle ends.

"Ohhh! This is just like a princess slowly waking from her slumber," Rozaliya said, holding Sleeping Beauty. Just as her name suggested, Sleeping Beauty was as serene as a sleeping princess when not in battle, but once engaged, she was as thorny as a bramble.

Rozaliya then directed her tail to grab Sleeping Beauty.

Both Rozaliya and Liliya found using greatswords more convenient than Himeko, primarily due to their tails.

"Now then, next up is replenishing Liliya's items. I hope Liliya has better luck this time!"

As she spoke, Rozaliya purchased another 10 Precision Supply Cards, preparing for another round of draws.
