"Detected Ningguang's favorability has increased from Level 1 to Level 2. Congratulations to the Host for receiving 1 Acquaint Fate, and an additional reward, the talent 'Money Spent Returns'."
At this moment,
a system notification appeared in Fang Xun's mind.
Fang Xun's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh,
This system is pretty generous, even giving out a talent?
What is this 'Money Spent Returns' thing?
Anyway, time outside was paused, so Fang Xun could take his time to carefully check the talent description.
He soon understood the talent's effect.
Simply put,
it means there's a chance to get the money back that's spent.
Furthermore,
there's even a chance for a critical hit when the money is returned, resulting in multiple returns.
This is a great talent!
Fang Xun had only just arrived in Teyvat, and especially being in a prosperous city like Liyue,
the expenses of Mora were extremely high.
Ten thousand Mora wouldn't last long at all.
The emergence of this talent now significantly reduces Fang Xun's Mora expenses.
It even makes it possible to spend more and more money!
This is encouraging Fang Xun to spend more.
Fang Xun turned his gaze to little Ningguang.
What could be more worth spending money on than investing in a future rich woman?
Tomorrow, he would take little Ningguang to get some new clothes.
And buy her a pair of shoes.
He couldn't let her walk barefoot anymore.
Otherwise, it'll be a problem if my tea-pouring is affected in the future.
...
After making a plan, Fang Xun turned his attention to the Acquaint Fate he had obtained.
Before his transmigration, Fang Xun was a hoarder, painstakingly saving up Primogems.
But he didn't get to pull even once before he transmigrated.
Every time he thought of this, Fang Xun felt a pang of heartache.
So, after learning from his previous experience, Fang Xun changed his habit.
As soon as he got an Acquaint Fate, he'd pull immediately.
No regrets!
Let's draw! Let's draw!
Fang Xun immediately opened the gacha interface to draw.
This time, there was no blue sky and white clouds, but rather a purple light.
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the skill [Celestial Shower]"
Fang Xun looked at the skill icon in front of him, which resembled a lotus flower.
He immediately realized that this was Ganyu's skill, the 'Conqueror of Demons and the God of Contracts'.
It leaves behind an ice lotus and quickly retreats, staying away from all the evil spirits and monsters, while also dealing Cryo damage.
Before his transmigration, Fang Xun's favorite character was Ganyu, so he had a deep memory of her.
This was Ganyu's life-saving skill, and it was also a skill that Fang Xun felt was designed quite interestingly in the game.
Now that he had drawn the skill 'Celestial Shower', it meant that Fang Xun's ability to protect himself had been enhanced again.
In an instant, a large amount of information about 'Celestial Shower'涌现 into Fang Xun's mind,
so much so that Fang Xun didn't even need to go through the learning process.
It was as if he had known how to use this skill from the moment he was born, it was a kind of instinct.
With a single thought, he could use the skill.
Most importantly,
Ganyu, when using Celestial Shower, leaves behind a blue ice lotus.
If Fang Xun uses it, however, what remains is a brilliant golden one, with what seems like a fiercely burning lotus at its center!
When the lotus explodes, its destructive power is immense,
comparable to Eula's ultimate move!
This isn't a life-saving skill; it's practically a nuclear blast!
Fang Xun now understands that
the system's skills are just the original skills, with a slight, ahem, damage boost!
So, in that case,
As long as Fang Xun drew enough skills and his artifacts were powerful enough,
couldn't he even blow up a Stormterror's Lair and cleave through a Musoujin Gorge?!
Who said a mortal couldn't stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the gods?
Fang Xun had something to say about that!
Although the skill he obtained, 'Celestial Shower,' had incredible damage, Fang Xun couldn't just use it willy-nilly.
After all, this was Liyue, a place that symbolized order and contracts.
If he made too much of a commotion, the Qianyan Army and even the Liyue Qixing would come down on him.
Now that Fang Xun was new to Liyue and unfamiliar with the area, it was best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Fang Xun exited the system interface, and time began to flow again.
Little Ningguang looked at the food Fang Xun had brought, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately, she picked up the Fragrant Mashed Potatoes container.
The other container holding the Golden Shrimp Balls remained untouched.
"Fang Xun, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept everything."
"Because you only ate one of my grilled fish. It wouldn't be right for me to take two of your dishes."
"Ningguang isn't a spoiled child, so I'll just have this Fragrant Mashed Potatoes!"
Ningguang gave a sweet smile, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents.
She was so sensible, it was almost heartbreaking.
Even though Fang Xun offered her two dishes in exchange,
little Ningguang only chose one, not wanting to take advantage of Fang Xun.
Because she had her own principles.
Fang Xun's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He knew Ningguang had been strong since she was young, but it still exceeded his expectations.
This little girl, she should be carefree at her age, but she understands far too much.
"Children from poor families mature early," this saying is absolutely true.
Looking at the obedient and sensible little girl in front of him, Fang Xun naturally hoped she would accept all the food.
Regarding this, Fang Xun took a deep breath and said slowly, "You're still growing, you need nutritional supplements, you know?"
"If you feel embarrassed about accepting this Golden Shrimp Balls, then let's do this, let's make another trade."
"I'll use this Golden Shrimp Balls to buy a day of your time tomorrow, how about that?"
Little Ningguang felt very curious upon hearing this.
"Brother Fang Xun, buy my time?"
She felt that her time was never worth much.
And no one would be willing to buy the time of a poor little girl like her.
So she didn't understand what Fang Xun wanted to do.
Fang Xun nodded and said seriously, "Yes, after all, I'm new to Liyue and not very familiar with this city."
"So, I want to find a guide to help me get to know this city better."
"Little Ningguang, are you familiar with Liyue?"
Hearing Fang Xun's question, Ningguang nodded and replied, "I am!"
You see, Ningguang often sold goods on the streets and alleys of Liyue.
Wherever there were people, she had been.
It wasn't an exaggeration to call her a living map of Liyue.
Fang Xun had a faint smile on his face as he spoke softly, "That's good."
"Tomorrow, you'll take me around Liyue, and this Golden Shrimp Balls will be your fee. How does that sound?"
"Sounds great!" Ningguang agreed without a second thought.
As a small merchant,
she had already been calculating in her little head all day whether she could earn a portion of Golden Shrimp Balls,
and the answer was clearly no.
That being said, this deal could work.
More importantly,
Ningguang also had a favorable impression of this big brother from a foreign land, named Fang Xun.
Even if Fang Xun didn't offer her any compensation, Ningguang would probably agree to be Fang Xun's guide tomorrow.
"Then, please accept this Golden Shrimp Balls." Fang Xun picked up the lunch box and handed it to Ningguang.
"Mm-hmm, thank you, Brother Fang Xun." Ningguang nodded and thanked him again.
In fact, she knew very well that
Fang Xun could easily find a guide on the streets of Liyue,
That tour guide fee isn't much anyway.
Fang Xun offered a portion of Golden Shrimp Balls in exchange for her time for a day. In reality, he was helping Ningguang.
Little Ningguang couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
She had never met such a kind person as Fang Xun, and she didn't know how to express her gratitude.
She could only offer her thanks again and again.
Before meeting Fang Xun, Ningguang felt that Liyue was vast and crowded.
She couldn't even see the light here, only darkness and the biting cold wind surrounding her.
But until Fang Xun appeared, he dispelled the gloom in Ningguang's heart.
Looking at Fang Xun's profile, Ningguang couldn't help but sigh, "If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up."
