Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

"Okay, okay, if there's a sword dance, then I'll dare to touch it!"

The moment the sword was in his hand, Li Ji's confidence clearly increased.

He grabbed it and put it inside the bag, hoping to distinguish them by feel and appearance...

Unfortunately, no matter which one he touched, the feel was exactly the same.

At this moment, everyone watching the live stream had their hearts in their throats.

Arashi: "Crown?, Crown?, Crown?..."

Raven: "Garbage? Garbage? Garbage?..."

But just as Li Ji was about to "draw the prize"...

Suddenly, a pitch-black claw pressed down on Li Ji's arm.

A shadow as deep as night suddenly appeared between Li Ji and the old man.

"Meow~"

She called out softly, like an elegant lady.

However, his tone revealed his dissatisfaction with the deal.

"Miss Christine?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: It's Not Open Until It's Closed

"It seems I've upset a lady."

The hunchbacked old man chuckled twice and withdrew his hand back into his large, tattered sleeve.

He also brought back a black bag in his hand.

However, Li Ji had already decided to take the collection... The moment the old man put his pocket back, the collection was also pulled out by Li Ji's hand.

The collection was revealed, and everyone saw the bright red crown in Li Ji's hand.

[Victoria's Crown]: All enemy units gain +30% attack, defense, and health, and all leader units gain +15% attack, defense, and +30% health.

But after only a glance, the hunchbacked old man laughed and took it back, stuffing it back into the bag.

The matter of having Li Ji take the random collection just now... seems to have never happened.

Seeing the old man's actions, Miss Christine withdrew her claws with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect that you and he would have some connection. In that case, there's no need for me here."

He chuckled twice, paid his respects to Miss Christine, and then his hunched figure took a few steps back and disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.

Watching the old man's figure completely disappear.

It was only then that everyone realized what had just happened.

[Holy crap, weren't the negative attributes of that collectible a bit too scary?]

[Thankfully, I got it back. The kitten was great! So... I've decided to give my cat a treat today, a cat treat.]

[What a beautiful cat... not only is it beautiful, but it's also kind-hearted!]

[This cat is so cute, I want to pet it...]

[By the way, have you guys noticed why this cat has two tails?]

While the comments section was buzzing with discussion, Raven recovered from her initial shock.

Their gazes shifted to Miss.Christine, who was still licking her paws in place.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness you're here, my sweet kitty."

The raven, who had initially felt a sudden cardiac arrest upon seeing the Victoria Crown, immediately patted its chest and breathed a long sigh of relief after witnessing this scene, as if it had crawled out of hell once again.

She wanted to stroke the beautiful Miss Christine in front of her with delight, but the dark 'actress' dodged the raven's hand like a ghost.

All of this happened so fast that the raven hadn't even had time to react to what was happening before its eyes.

So much so that her hand remained frozen in place, unsure of where to go.

When she turned her head again, she found that Miss Christine had already jumped onto Li Ji's shoulder and was gently rubbing her cheek against his.

Are you taking me to find Lucien?

Li Ji stroked Miss.Christine's fur and rubbed his face against hers a couple of times.

Seeing the two intimate people in front of her, Raven even wanted to join in. She tried to reach out and touch Miss Christine again.

But the other creature nimbly leaped onto the lampstand beside it, dodging the raven's paw once again.

It proudly raised its head and pulled out a white piece of paper from somewhere, on which was printed a cute black cat and several colorful paw prints.

[Miss.Christine Touch Coupon]: Instantly advance two operators (without consuming Hope) - You have obtained the lady's permission!

[Hahaha, the raven got rejected again.]

[What an elegant cat! I want to have one. So cute, Suki!]

[Eh, do I need permission to touch it...?]

[Seriously... isn't anyone going to complain that this thing is a collectible?!]

"???"

Looking at the paper Miss Christine handed to Li Ji, Raven's head was immediately filled with question marks. "Wait, huh? This... this thing can be considered a collectible!?"

Even though the raven was screaming in its heart, its eyes were still fixed on Miss Christine.

"Damn it, I really want to touch it too! Why won't you let me touch it?"

……

at the same time.

Besides the raven, there was another person shouting loudly in their heart.

"No! Once a move is made, there's no going back! How can you take it back?!"

"Isn't that crown beautiful? It's so bright red, it suits you perfectly! Take it!"

"No, no! Why did you take it back? *Gallic swear word*, are you even a man? You have to keep your word!"

"If the cat stops you, the cat is good; but if the person doesn't take it, the person is bad!"

As things progressed step by step like this, Lancao was extremely anxious and frustrated.

Failing to obtain the Victoria Crown left Arashiko, who had initially felt somewhat relieved, feeling utterly dejected.

Now that we're almost at the final boss, negative items like the Gallic Robe, which hinder development, are probably not very useful anymore.

But the Victoria Crown and the Ursus Scimitar are different.

Both of these are genuinely good items that can boost the Boss's attributes.

It could even be considered the top prize now!

If this thing were put into Li Ji's team, it would definitely come in very handy.

What's annoying is that Li Ji not only has an incredibly good collection, but he also seems to be involved in all the key events leading to the ending, and now he even has people blocking him from falling into traps!

And most importantly...

Miss Christine actually took the initiative to go and kiss him!

Lancao has been in here so many times, and she has never encountered this situation before!

She really felt like throwing up; looking at what was happening in front of her, she felt like she was grinding her teeth to dust.

"I really want to touch Miss Christine too!"

And it's not just Arashigusa.

Everyone at the table has this thought now.

They even suspected that Li Ji might have actually opened fire.

Or rather, he didn't turn it off!

"No way! Is there any justice left? Is there no law left?!"

"Could this guy be a saint reincarnated... or maybe he's the Scarlet Troupe leader's biological son?"

"A biological son? This treatment is more like that of the troupe leader's biological father!"

"Have we run into someone with connections?"

Just as the surroundings were starting to get noisy, a stern shout brought the area back to silence.

"Quiet!"

Antoinette tapped the table twice with a dull thud; although the sound was not loud, the effect was particularly noticeable.

If we're talking about who's suffering the most right now... isn't it Antoinette himself?

If he was still handling things with ease before, the current situation was enough to make him break out in a few more beads of sweat from nervousness.
