Fang Xun knew Qiqi's memory wasn't good,
but he hadn't expected it to be this bad.
She'd forgotten what he'd just said in the blink of an eye.
To help Qiqi remember, Fang Xun picked up an Amber shard and wrote both their names on the ground.
"You're Qiqi, and I'm Fang Xun,"
"If you can't remember, you can look at the names I've written on the ground."
Fang Xun also didn't know what kind of script Liyue used hundreds of years ago,
or if Qiqi would even be able to understand it.
But this was the only method available at the moment.
Fortunately, Qiqi could understand the names of the two people.
She stared intently at the names on the ground, repeating them over and over again.
It wasn't hard to see that the little Zombie was really trying hard to remember the two names.
Finally, Qiqi looked up at Fang Xun and said seriously, "I remembered..."
"Your name is Fang Xun... My name is Qiqi..."
"Qiqi... Didn't forget this time..."
Joy shone in little Qiqi's beautiful eyes.
She finally remembered the name!
As she spoke,
Qiqi reached out a hand, wanting to write down both of their names. But she unexpectedly found her body very stiff.
Not only could her limbs not bend,
but even her fingers couldn't move normally.
It felt like her whole body was stuffed in ice, frozen and losing all sensation.
"Why..."
"Qiqi...can't move..."
"My hands… I can't feel them…"
Qiqi tilted her head, confusion filling her clear, bright eyes.
She probably didn't understand what was happening to her.
Why couldn't her body move after she woke up?
Seeing this, Fang Xun patiently explained, "Because Qiqi is a Zombie, that's why her limbs can't move normally."
Little Qiqi didn't understand what a Zombie was.
She only vaguely realized that she was no longer human.
"Zombie…"
"Qiqi… isn't human anymore…"
Qiqi is a Zombie, and her face is incapable of showing expressions.
But Fang Xun could clearly feel that Qiqi was very sad.
Little Qiqi lowered her head, her beautiful eyes dull.
Even though Qiqi has lived for over a thousand years, her mind has remained at the stage of a child.
This is all too cruel for a child.
Fang Xun couldn't bear it and immediately comforted her, "Although Qiqi is a Zombie, she can still eat and sleep normally every day."
"As long as Qiqi does Stretching Exercises every day, her body will slowly recover. Then, she won't be any different from humans."
Qiqi looked up at Fang Xun, softly repeating, "Do Stretching Exercises..."
"...Then Qiqi can be just like humans... no difference..."
"Really?"
Seeing Qiqi's mood improve slightly, Fang Xun continued, "Yes, come on, Qiqi, let's do Stretching Exercises together."
As he spoke, Fang Xun demonstrated for Qiqi.
Although Fang Xun didn't really know what Stretching Exercises were,
he started with stretches, chest expansions,
and the sixth set of middle school radio exercises.
Fang Xun still knew how to do it.
At first,
Qiqi couldn't follow Fang Xun's movements because her body was really stiff.
Later, Fang Xun came over to help,
and little Qiqi's limbs were finally able to move slowly.
As the Stretching Exercises continued, the brightness gradually returned to Qiqi's beautiful eyes.
Her limbs were no longer as stiff as before; she could now move them slightly.
Qiqi could already lift her hands simply and spread her five fingers.
Those little feet could also wiggle slightly.
Things were much better than before.
"Thank you... Fang Xun..."
"Stretching Exercises... Qiqi... likes..."
After a while, Qiqi looked up at Fang Xun and asked seriously.
"Can Zombies... be friends with humans?"
"Qiqi... wants... friends..."
"Qiqi wants to be friends... with Fang Xun..."
Qiqi had been sealed in Amber for far too long, so she was afraid of being alone again.
And the first person she saw after waking up from the Amber was Fang Xun.
Plus, Fang Xun taught her Stretching Exercises,
so she wanted to be friends with Fang Xun.
Looking at the innocent Qiqi, Fang Xun nodded seriously, "Yes, I'd like to be friends with Qiqi."
"From now on, Fang Xun and Qiqi are friends, best friends for life."
Facing such a cute and pitiful Zombie,
Fang Xun really had no reason to refuse.
Qiqi's voice was filled with joy: "Qiqi... has friends..."
"After this... someone can talk with Qiqi..."
"So good..."
Fang Xun was touched.
He had only taught Qiqi how to do Stretching Exercises to move her limbs, and he was willing to be her friend.
He hadn't expected little Qiqi to be so happy.
At this moment, a system voice rang in Fang Xun's mind.
"Detected that Qiqi's favorability towards the host has increased from 0 to level 1,"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Acquaint Fate. At the same time, you've received an additional reward: a Five-Star Artifact, Life's Sand, Gladiator's Finale."
Fang Xun wasn't surprised by the increase in Qiqi's favorability.
After all, little Qiqi had been sealed in Amber and was terribly lonely.
Just having a friend could make her happy for a long time.
Soon,
Fang Xun skillfully opened the inventory interface and checked the newly obtained artifact.
Out of habit from playing the game, Fang Xun always subconsciously checked the sub-stats of the artifact.
Critical Damage +26.3%
Critical Rate +14%
Attack +3.3%
Attack +16
Looking at these four sub-stats, Fang Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He was finally having a stroke of good luck.
All four stats were useful ones.
Seriously, how could this go wrong???
Following that, Fang Xun turned his attention to the main stat.
Life's Sand's main stat was no longer a fixed stat.
It was divided into Attack, HP, Energy Recharge, and Defense.
Fang Xun hoped the main stat on this hourglass would be Attack.
At the very least, it should be HP or Energy Recharge, right?
However,
When Fang Xun saw the words "Defense" as the main stat,
he almost broke down.
I have a "f*ck," I don't know if I should say it or not!
Is he going to be inseparable from defense for the rest of his life?
Fang Xun thought he'd finally escaped the curse of bad luck,
Who would have thought he'd become the biggest unlucky guy again, just around the corner?
