Although the main stat of the artifact was defense, it was fortunate that all four sub-stats were useful, so Makoto decided to use this artifact for now.
He would change the main stat later when he obtained the necessary item.
After checking the artifact, Makoto opened the gacha pool.
Earlier, by increasing Ningguang's friendship, he had obtained one intertwined fate and a gymnastics outfit.
Makoto had taken out the gymnastics outfit, but the intertwined fate had remained in his backpack, forgotten.
Now, with another intertwined fate, it meant Makoto could draw twice.
Makoto was lucky with his first draw.
A purple light appeared.
"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the character skill 'Chihayaburu'!"
Makoto was quite familiar with 'Chihayaburu'.
It was Kaedehara Kazuha's element skill.
When released, it could draw objects towards him and simultaneously launch him into the air.
Not only that, 'Chihayaburu' could also be charged.
The longer it was charged, the wider the suction range and the longer the airborne duration.
In the game, 'Chihayaburu' was an excellent skill for both grouping enemies in the Spiral Abyss and traversing the open world, effectively enhancing the player's gaming experience.
The 'Chihayaburu' that Makoto obtained through the gacha pool was naturally more powerful than in the game.
He could use 'Chihayaburu' twice in quick succession.
Most importantly, Makoto could achieve the maximum suction range of 'Chihayaburu' without needing to charge it.
This meant that whether Makoto was performing element reactions in combat or traversing the open world, it would become exceptionally easy.
In the game, the status of the 'Leaf Emperor' was second only to the Three Gods, so obtaining his skill was definitely not a loss.
Soon, Makoto struck while the iron was hot and made his second draw.
The second draw produced a blue light.
It was a talisman.
Unlike the talismans Makoto had obtained in the past, this talisman was not for changing artifact attributes, but rather an item to enhance memory.
As long as it was affixed to the body, memory would effectively increase.
For ordinary people, attaching this talisman could achieve the effect of photographic memory.
If someone had a very poor memory, then this talisman could also help improve the situation.
Makoto felt that his memory was not bad, so there was no need for him to use this talisman.
Moreover, if he affixed the talisman to himself, he would look somewhat strange.
Instead, it was suitable for Qiqi to use.
Because Qiqi had many talismans affixed to his body, even one more would not look out of place.
Furthermore, Qiqi's memory was truly too poor.
They say a fish has a seven-second memory, but Qiqi didn't even have seven seconds.
Affixing this talisman to him was indeed a good choice.
Makoto took out the talisman from his backpack and walked towards Qiqi step by step.
Qiqi did not know what Makoto wanted to do.
His pure and bright peach blossom eyes looked at the talisman in Makoto's hand.
He didn't know what it was, but he instinctively felt afraid and subconsciously retreated.
"Makoto... is he going to seal Qiqi..."
"Qiqi... doesn't want to be sealed..."
"Don't seal Qiqi... okay...?"
Qiqi's face couldn't show expression, but his voice was full of disappointment and pleading.
"Qiqi... doesn't want to be trapped in amber again..."
"Without even someone to talk to..."
Looking at the pitiful Qiqi, Makoto felt a pang of pain in his heart.
This little guy had been trapped in amber for too long, and he already had a trauma.
That's why he was so sad when he saw the talisman.
Makoto knew Qiqi had misunderstood, so he knelt down and gently comforted him: "Qiqi, I'm not trying to seal you in amber."
"This talisman can increase your memory. I'm here to help you."
"Please believe me, okay?"
Makoto also didn't know if Qiqi was willing to believe him, after all, he and Qiqi had only just met.
Qiqi looked up, his clean and clear big eyes meeting Makoto's.
"Help Qiqi..."
"Qiqi believes Makoto..."
"Because... Makoto is a friend... Qiqi's friend..."
Qiqi's voice was very soft, but exceptionally serious.
Qiqi had a huge trauma regarding talismans, but he was still willing to choose to believe Makoto.
Simply because they were friends.
In Qiqi's view, friends were trustworthy.
Upon hearing this, Makoto felt a slight stir in his heart.
How could there be such a silly, innocent girl in this world?
It was precisely because of this that Makoto could not betray Qiqi's trust.
Makoto affixed the talisman to Qiqi's body.
This talisman obtained from the gacha was truly extraordinary.
Once affixed to Qiqi's body, the talisman would not fall off due to movement or wind.
Even if someone tried to pull it forcefully, the talisman would not budge.
Only Makoto or Qiqi could remove the talisman.
After affixing the talisman, Makoto looked down at Qiqi and asked softly, "How do you feel, Qiqi?"
Qiqi shook his head: "Qiqi is a zombie... has no feeling..."
"But... it seems my memory is a little better..."
"What Makoto said... Qiqi won't forget immediately..."
"Thank you..."
Seeing Qiqi's condition improve, Makoto showed a relieved smile.
He knew that the talisman was starting to take effect.
"Makoto... Qiqi wants to pick Violetgrass..."
At this moment, Qiqi blinked his pink eyes and spoke softly.
Although Qiqi had forgotten everything from the past, he still maintained the habit of picking herbs.
So, after his body could move, Qiqi immediately wanted to go pick herbs.
And now, he was saying goodbye to Makoto.
Qiqi finished speaking and scurried out of the cave with his short legs.
Makoto immediately remembered that there were still many villagers watching outside the cave.
Those villagers had never seen a zombie before.
If they met Qiqi like this, the situation might become chaotic.
Thinking of this, Makoto also immediately followed him out.
By the time Makoto ran out of the cave entrance, the outside was already in chaos.
"A zombie?!"
"So terrifying!"
"Run away quickly!"
The villagers watching were all terrified.
Who would have thought that a pale-faced zombie with a chilling aura would jump out of the cave?
Looking at the villagers fleeing in all directions, Qiqi's peach-blossom eyes were both confused and sad.
He didn't know what was wrong.
He hadn't done anything, but everyone seemed to be very afraid of him.
Qiqi wanted to make friends, but everyone didn't like him.
"I'm... I'm sorry..."
"Qiqi... scared everyone..."
"Qiqi... caused trouble for everyone..."
Qiqi apologized.
His face was expressionless, but he looked as if he was crying.
