Her tragic fate has been averted, awakening a sublime and mysterious power within her.[Jade Cassia of the Mountain]Bloodline Quality: Gold LegendaryAttribute 1: Cannot use attack abilities!Attribute 2: While this hero is alive, all residents of the territory gain +2 to all their skill levels.Description: Born of jade cassia, sustained by heaven and earth![Fortune After Misfortune]Talent Quality: Gold LegendaryAttribute 1: Luck +10.Description: Her fate has been reversed, and her future has changed dramatically.Compared to his other two heroes, Jia Yingchun's base stats were a little underwhelming. But when Wu Chi saw her unique skills, his brain blue-screened.Cannot use attack abilities?! So she was basically useless in a fight, a complete pacifist. But that second bloodline attribute… holy shit. Just by existing in his territory, she gave everyone +2 to all their skill levels. Do you know how insane that is? The higher level everyone got, the more ridiculously broken that buff would become. And her talent? Ten points to Luck! She was a walking, talking buff machine! A pure support hero, and a god-tier one at that. From a strategic standpoint, she might be even more important than Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing!"Fortune after misfortune… so this is my good luck," he thought, a theory forming in his mind. "Was this why I got a double-gold pull? I summoned her, and her luck talent immediately triggered a second legendary?"It didn't matter. The best part was, he didn't even need to level her up for her to be useful. All she had to do was stand there and look pretty, and she'd make his entire army stronger. It was a perfect outcome for the timid, gentle girl who had been rescued just as her tragic fate was about to unfold.As these thoughts raced through Wu Chi's mind, Jia Yingchun's own inner turmoil was settling. The fear, the confusion… the sudden voice calling her name. It wasn't a dream. This was real."Yingchun? Let me show you around…" Wu Chi started to say, but he stopped when he saw the fragile beauty's eyes well up, big fat tears rolling down her cheeks.She's crying?! Wu Chi was totally baffled. What did I do?!Lin Daiyu, however, seemed to understand. She gave Wu Chi a sly look and a subtle nod. He got the hint, stepping forward and °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° gently taking the weeping girl's hand, placing his other arm around her soft, slender waist."Young… Master…" Jia Yingchun sobbed, half-crying, half-laughing as she clung to his shirt. For twenty years, she had been looked down upon, even by her own family's maids. Now, in this strange new world, she was… valued."There, there," Wu Chi said, pulling her into a gentle hug. After a good, long cry, she finally looked up, her eyes puffy. "I'm sorry, Young Master… I was improper.""Don't worry about it." He grinned. She was already a stunning beauty, but this fragile, tear-stained look made you just want to protect her."Of course he's not angry," Lin Daiyu chimed in with a teasing laugh. "He's getting a free hug, he's probably ecstatic!"Yingchun immediately scrambled out of his arms, her face as red as a tomato, wringing her hands nervously."By the way, what kind of abilities does Sister Yingchun have?" Lin Daiyu asked, getting back to business. "Today's monster invasion hasn't started yet. With her help, things should be a bit easier."Wu Chi explained her skills. Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up. "That's perfect for her! She can contribute to the battle just by being here and staying safe. And," Wu Chi added with a wink, "with her luck stat, you, my dear, are our new official loot-box opener!"The timid girl looked up at him, a genuine, happy blush on her cheeks. To be needed… was this what it felt like?"Alright, Daiyu, give Yingchun the grand tour," Wu Chi said. Lin Daiyu happily agreed and led her new friend away. Wu Chi then went to find Qin Keqing, whom he found in the [Cloud-Top Cherry Inn] kitchen, staring intently at a pile of spices.She was not a good cook, but she was determined to learn for everyone's sake."Salt, vinegar, MSG… hmm, MSG is bad for you, broth is better…" she mumbled to herself, completely lost in thought."Hey, Keqing," Wu Chi said, walking in."Young Master!" She jumped, startled."What are you up to?""Ah, I-I'm preparing for dinner," she said, her face flushing."It's barely even lunchtime. You don't have to stress about this, you know. I can just hire some cooks later.""Mmm…" Qin Keqing's face turned an even deeper shade of red, and she looked like she wanted the floor to swallow her whole. (TL note: The new hero, Jia Yingchun, is another major character from the classic Chinese novel "Dream of the Red Chamber", just like Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing! Her story is also tragic in the novel. She is basically sold off by her father into marriage to a cruel and abusive man named Sun Shaozu (who she mentioned in her dialogue!) to settle a gambling debt. Her life with him is miserable, and she dies from his abuse just a year later. This is what the sad poem that announced her arrival was referencing~)
