Chapter 7

【Ding! Consumed 1,000,000 Emotion Points, starting puppet draw...】

Following Lin Cheng’s choice, a massive roulette appeared in his mind once again.

However, compared to the last roulette, this roulette had some differences.

For example, the color of the roulette changed from white last time to gold, looking much more high-end and atmospheric.

The golden roulette began to spin rapidly, and countless phantoms appeared on it; on average, the momentum of each phantom looked much more powerful than the last time. ===== CHAPTER 16 =====

In the end, the roulette settled on a figure burning with scorching flames.

A head of black messy hair, very normal wheat-colored skin, slightly handsome cheeks with some freckles, and a tattoo with the letters "ASCE" on his left arm, with an "X" over the "S".

The figure wore an orange cowboy hat on his head, and his upper body was bare, wearing only shorts.

【Congratulations to the host for drawing from the Pirate series: Whitebeard Pirates, Second Division Commander.】

【Mera Mera no Mi user, Portgas D. Ace.】

'Oh?'

'Is it actually Ace?'

Lin Cheng looked at the figure burning with raging flames that appeared in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, the attributes of the puppet Ace also appeared in Lin Cheng’s mind.

【Portgas D. Ace】

【A-rank Puppet】

【Star Level: ☆】

【Pirate series, Whitebeard Pirates, Second Division Commander.】

【Ability: Mera Mera no Mi Mastery, Taijutsu Mastery.】

【Special Effects: Conqueror’s Haki: Beginner (☆ Unlocked), Armament Haki: Mastery (☆☆ Unlocked), Observation Haki (☆☆ Unlocked), Mera Mera no Mi: Awakening (☆☆☆ Unlocked)】

【Puppet Charge: 100% (Can recover automatically after being consumed, but requires time.)】

【Puppet Recall: Available (Can recall the puppet regardless of distance, with a 24-hour cooldown.)】

Although he had long known that Ace’s strength was very considerable, and if talking about direct destructive power, it was even a whole grade stronger than the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, but after seeing Ace’s attribute panel, Lin Cheng was still shocked.

Compared to the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, who was also an A-rank puppet, Ace’s gorgeousness was clearly a big step higher.

'Since I drew Fire Fist Ace, many things have become simple.'

Originally, Lin Cheng was thinking that drawing a B-rank puppet to use temporarily would also be good.

But Lin Cheng didn't expect that his luck was even stronger than expected; the draw that only guaranteed a B-rank puppet directly drew an A-rank puppet. Now with two A-rank puppets, Lin Cheng’s self-preservation problem was really not big.

'As for what’s next...'

Lin Cheng began to think about his next plan.

During this month, Lin Cheng thought every day about how to upgrade his puppets after drawing new ones.

Without a doubt, Lin Cheng was very short of Emotion Points.

To get new puppets, he needed Emotion Points.

To upgrade puppets, he needed Emotion Points.

Even to obtain some skills exclusive to a summoner, he also needed to spend Emotion Points.

Lin Cheng really needed Emotion Points too much.

'*Fairy Tail* is the key point.'

Sitting on the bed, Lin Cheng looked at the magazine on his table not far away.

Among them, the magazine placed on top was an interview report on the Class Mage guild that had been in the limelight recently, *Fairy Tail*, about *Fairy Tail* completing the S-rank mission, Galuna Island.

At this time, the plot had already completed the initial *Fairy Tail* plot, the Mansion plot, the Eisenwald plot, and the Galuna Island plot, and it was just the turn of the first relatively large scene of *Fairy Tail*.

The two strongest guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, Phantom Lord and *Fairy Tail*, tore off their masks and went to war.

As the two strongest guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, without a doubt, the war between Phantom Lord and *Fairy Tail* would attract the attention of massive audiences, symbolizing massive Emotion Points.

Now that I have just drawn the A-rank puppet Fire Fist Ace, I can completely control him to go over and ride the wave of popularity, show off my presence, and perhaps even proactively reveal a little bit of information.

'However, this report is already from three days ago.'

'At this time, the first round of war between Phantom Lord and *Fairy Tail* has probably already begun.'

'I hope I can still catch the last wave of heat.'

Lying on the bed, Lin Cheng turned off the light, slowly closed his eyes, and began to rest.

And 1,000 meters away from Lin Cheng, in a somewhat remote and empty corner, a ripple suddenly appeared in mid-air, and then a man with a bare upper body, wearing shorts and an orange cowboy hat, appeared.

He glanced at the location of the small tavern and smiled slightly.

The man quickly left in another direction.

Magnolia, one of the strongest guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, the city where *Fairy Tail* is located.

At this time, the *Fairy Tail* guild hall, which should have been extremely lively, was full of gloom, and everyone was sitting on the ground with a frustrated look, their morale could be said to have dropped to an extreme point. ===== CHAPTER 17 =====

However, low morale was also a normal thing.

From the battle between the guild masters at the Saint Ten level, where their own Saint Ten master was ambushed and knocked down, to the members fighting without being able to gain any advantage, it could almost be said to be a total collapse.

Now, the Saint Ten master Makarov was in critical condition.

Just now, one of the few S-rank mages in the guild, the master’s grandson, the Dragon Slayer Class Mage, Laxus Dreyar, had directly refused Mirajane’s request.

Refused to provide combat support in this battle against Phantom Lord.

This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

"Why is everyone making such an expression?"

"Even if that guy Laxus doesn't come over, it doesn't matter."

Amidst this low morale, a figure with cherry-colored messy hair was unexpectedly high-spirited.

This was the male protagonist in the *Fairy Tail* world, Natsu.

"As long as we all work together!"

Natsu looked at everyone present and said passionately, "We can definitely defeat those bastards from Phantom!"

"We can definitely avenge the old man!"

As the most common male protagonist in Japanese anime, Natsu was always full of passion.

However, facing such a major blow, others could not be like Natsu; a cloud that could almost shroud their entire hearts floated over everyone’s hearts.

No one would think that the war with Phantom Lord would end so simply.

Now that they didn't have a Class Mage of the same level who could confront the opponent’s guild master, *Fairy Tail* had undoubtedly fallen into a disadvantage.

"Natsu..."

Not far away, a girl with long, smooth golden hair looked at the excited Natsu, her small mouth opening, wanting to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say it.

This was the female protagonist in *Fairy Tail*, Lucy Heartfilia.

It must be said that *Fairy Tail* was probably an anime where the female protagonist had more screen time than the male protagonist.

However, after hesitating for a while, Lucy still showed a determined look on her face and stood up.

"How about you just take me..."

"Hello."

"May I ask, this should be the *Fairy Tail* guild, right?"

Before Lucy could finish what she was saying, the tightly closed door was pushed open.

A man who looked somewhat familiar walked in from the door, bare-chested, wearing characteristic shorts, and an orange cowboy hat.

And behind the man, he was carrying a somewhat bulging backpack, which looked like it contained a lot of money.

This man was the A-rank puppet remotely controlled by Lin Cheng, Fire Fist Ace.

Rushing all the way, he finally arrived in Magnolia before the Phantom Lord arc was about to end.

At the same time, Lin Cheng was also frantically complaining about how Eclair chose such a remote area far from prosperous regions as a place to live; this was no different from running into the deep mountains to live in seclusion in modern society.

Not playing with computers or phones, just daydreaming all day—what was the difference?

Facing Ace’s inquiry, everyone in the hall looked at Ace with vigilance.

After all, there were not many people who dared to come to the *Fairy Tail* hall during this period.

"Hello, this is *Fairy Tail*."

"May I ask what you are here for?"

Only Mirajane, who was a server, responded with a smile on her face, "If there is nothing important, it is better not to come over."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Then I’m really sorry, I don't know if my business counts as important business."

After hearing Mirajane’s reply, Ace smiled and took a portrait out of his pocket, saying, "I came here this time mainly because I want to post a missing person mission."
