ALL NOVEL Chapter 20: Doctor’s Self-Discipline
Due to Wende’s skill set being exceedingly overpowered, players who haven't drawn Bailu always include him in their task teams.
Even players who do have Bailu will still bring Wende along because he can also serve as a "mini-support," and with the double "healers," it's almost impossible to die!
After removing Wende, "White Night" found a trash can that seemed suitable for testing. Upon pressing the interaction button, he was able to interact directly to the trash can without any black screens or electric shock sounds! He successfully obtained a piece of trash!
Excited, "White Night" immediately shared this easter egg in his group chat while curiously wondering why Wende would prevent them from rummaging through trash cans.
………………
At this moment, in the underworld of Belobog, residents looked at the trailblazers walking down the street with strange glances.
Especially behind Wende, where Stelle with two big lumps on her head and a look of grievance was.
"I told you, trash cans are very dirty. Don’t rummage through them! Now that Pom-Pom isn't here, we can't wash clothes. Am I supposed to wash them for you? Besides, what’s so good about that trash..."
Wende walked in front of the team, earnestly lecturing Stelle behind him, looking just like a nagging mother.
"Oh, come on, my friend, isn't it good for the child to have a bit of personality as they grow up?"
The guide at the front, Sampo, smiled and advised Wende, and at that moment, Stelle felt that Sampo wasn’t that bad after all.
"Hmm?"
Wende narrowed his eyes and looked at Sampo with a friendly expression.
"Uhm… actually I think children should be corrected from a young age! If she dares to dig through trash cans today, tomorrow she might blow up a sewage tank! I, Sampo, absolutely cannot tolerate such things happening!"
"I really misjudged you Sampo..."
"Yeah, why are you so set on digging into trash cans?"
March 7th also came over and advised Stelle, wondering what was so special about trash cans.
"Your companion's hobby is rather... unique..."
Bronya, looking at Stelle who seemed reluctant to part with the trash can, twitched her mouth and said to Dan Heng beside her.
"I don't know her" (turns away)
Dan Heng looked away from the group
"So, absolutely! Absolutely! Do not rummage through trash cans! Got it?"
Seeing Stelle’s dazed expression, Wende suddenly felt something was off, turned to look at the others beside him, and found they had all frozen again.
Looking at the familiar screen slowly descending, Wende was somewhat baffled.
"Weren't you just updated? How come there's another problem? Can’t we have the programmers sacrifice themselves to the heavens or something?!"
Wende complained to the system screen.
"System detecting upcoming update to the gacha pools. Please complete your signature light cone promptly."
The system screen ignored Wende’s complaints and silently displayed the text on the screen.
"Tsk... Can't you get it right yourself? Do I still have to fix this mess?"
Wind twitched his mouth, imagining how this nonsense would probably be written into the serious storyline by the system.
"Please create your four-star light cone within one hour."
After saying this, the system vanished, leaving only a light cone template on the screen similar to the previous character templates, blank...
"Sigh..."
Looking up at the immobile figures, Wende felt a bit of a headache.
"Alright, let’s figure this out..."
Staring at the light cone creation interface, Wende fell into deep thought.
First, he was currently just a four-star character, and as a four-star character of the Abundance path, the light cone must correspond to the Abundance path. This was undeniable.
Secondly, although the basic attributes of the light cone were not his concern, he still needed to carefully consider the light cone's unique abilities to match his four-star status without being too underwhelming.
Lastly, and most importantly, was the name, image, and description of the light cone—this was the most difficult part!
What troubled Wende the most wasn’t this, but rather the thought that he might still be a non-character. Would the system require him to create an identity for himself?
‘Thanks for the sudden bombshell!’
"Sigh... Let’s just create the light cone first."
Wende sat down helplessly, dragging the system screen in front of him, while pondering and sketching on the screen, occasionally adding and removing elements.
Half an hour later...
Finally, with the system’s permission, Wende had set up the light cone's skill panel. Next came taking a selfie and coming up with a name and story.
"Hmm..."
After much thought, Wende took off his shirt, revealing his large chest muscles and toned physique, and posed in front of the system screen.
"That should be good enough, right?"
Feeling that something was still missing, Wind draped a white lab coat over his upper body.
The lab coat had no buttons and was very thin, so even though it covered him, his physique was still vaguely visible.
"Yeah... that’ll do."
Wind nodded in satisfaction and wrote down the light cone’s name.
【Doctor's Self-Discipline】
As for the final description, Wind spent another half hour, and finally, before the deadline, it passed the system’s review. The【Doctor's Self-Discipline】light cone successfully passed review, and the time freeze was about to end.
"Sigh..."
Wende sighed deeply, stood up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and walked back to Stelle.
"Now time will start moving again."
Thinking dramatically in his mind, Wende looked at the increasingly lively Stelle and couldn’t help but sigh again.
"Sigh..."
"Wende..."
Stelle felt a bit embarrassed. For some reason, she couldn't bear the strange urge she felt when seeing trash cans, always wanting to approach and open the sacred lid to search for "treasures."
But seeing how much effort Wende had put in for her, she made up her mind! She had to control her urge to rummage through trash cans and mustn’t let Wende be disappointed!
"I will never rummage through trash cans again!"
Stelle raised her hand solemnly to promise Wende.
Seeing Stelle’s determination, Wende nodded in satisfaction.
"Good~"
……………………
Today was the third day of the global for Star Rail. The cursed developers, for some unknown reason, delayed the first limited character that was supposed to be available at launch until the third day of the public test. What, does your company not want money?
Players, looking at the 200MB update package and update notice, were left with no choice, quickly updated, and entered the game. As for the update notice, they didn’t even glance at it, as it was just fixing some bugs!
In the AC station live broadcast room
A female streamer named Luoluo was randomly selecting lucky viewers in the live stream to give away a free 5-star.
"Alright! Let’s congratulate the fan named Baiye who won our draw!"
With the pause of the lottery in the live stream, the lucky recipient was announced!
Luoluo logged out of her account and then privately messaged the fan named Baiye in the live stream, instructing him to scan the code and log in to the account directly.
"Let’s take a look at this fan’s ID..."
Luoluo stared blankly at the incredibly extravagant ID on the screen.
【What the hell!】
【Who willingly named themself this?】
【Honestly, I can’t say I don’t agree.】
【Wende! Wende! I can’t agree more with the name!】
【Mods, did the upstairs drink too much nuclear waste?】
The player with the AC station account name "Baiye" had logged in, and the character ID column displayed "Plz Flash Wende’s Feet."
"Uh... Ahahaha, it seems our fan has some unique preferences. Let’s check out this fan’s lineup."
Luoluo awkwardly laughed, quickly closed the character ID, and opened the character interface.
"Oh! This fan actually drew Himeko! Although her damage was a bit low on the test server, with the game's major update, She might get a boost in the future."
Luoluo said reassuringly. Indeed, Himeko’s current strength was quite awkward—decent for farming materials but only describable as “scraping” for other content.
"This fan’s wish is to pull a Seele. It would be even better if they could get a Wende as well."
Luoluo skillfully opened the gacha interface and gave a thumbs-up to the camera.
"Ok! Guess how many pulls until I get Seele!”
She loaded the account with a payment. Since the player hadn't bought anything yet they were given double, this payment could yield 81 pulls! Combined with the pulls the account owner had saved and exchanged, getting a Seele should be manageable.
"Alright! Let’s start pulling!"
One ten-pull, no 5-star.
Two, three, four, five ten-pulls!
Still no 5-star. Luoluo was used to it; it was typical for MiHoYo’s probability. She herself had seen many guarantees. Such things were common.
"One more pull!"
Looking at the purple light behind Pom-Pom, Luoluo, disappointed, was about to skip and continue pulling, but then a new light cone appeared before her eyes.
"Huh? Was this light cone available before?"
Luoluo, puzzled, casually clicked on the light cone.
