Soon, Makoto made his first single pull.
As a purple light flashed, a certain item appeared before his eyes.
It looked like a Vision.
No, to be precise, it was a Gnosis.
However, this Gnosis was dim.
Makoto didn't know how to use it, so he temporarily put it in his backpack.
Soon, Makoto made his second single pull.
This time, unexpectedly, a golden light appeared!
Makoto hadn't expected to be so lucky.
It hadn't been long since his last golden pull, and now another one so quickly.
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the five-star skill 'Star Fate Predestination'!"
Looking at the several star glows on the skill icon, Makoto immediately realized that this was Mona's elemental burst skill.
This skill had the effect of applying Hydro to enemies and increasing the damage of his own team.
In the game, many nuclear explosion teams would bring Mona because Mona's 'Star Fate Predestination' could bring a huge amplification effect.
And the damage-increasing effect of 'Star Fate Predestination' drawn from the system's gacha pool was significantly improved compared to the game's settings.
First, the duration of the ultimate skill was significantly extended.
Then, the damage-increasing effect, critical rate, and critical damage within the ultimate skill were all significantly increased.
Damage increased by 100%.
Critical rate increased by 15%.
Critical damage increased by 180%.
It had to be said that 'Star Fate Predestination' after being enhanced by the system was truly amazing.
It could unleash a nuclear explosion effect in minutes!
With 'Star Fate Predestination', plus 'Mystical Rite: Spirit Soother'.
Makoto estimated that if Osial truly broke free from his seal, he could now solo Osial without needing the Seven Stars and the Adepti to join forces.
Soon, Makoto also unlocked 'Star Fate Predestination' and added it to his skill library.
After doing all this, he exited the interface and allowed time to flow again.
At this moment, Ganyu stopped and looked up at Makoto.
"Mr. Fang Xun, let's pause our conversation here for now."
"Next, I need to go west to pick Qingxin."
"Please go with Qiqi to the east to pick Violetgrass."
"How about we meet back at this intersection later?"
As Liyue's First Secretary, Ganyu always considered reasonable solutions for every matter.
Splitting up now could save a lot of time and energy.
"Alright, then we'll meet back here later," Makoto nodded.
"Ganyu… see you later…" Qiqi blinked her big, watery eyes and waved goodbye to Ganyu.
Ganyu squatted down and ruffled Qiqi's head, then glanced at Makoto.
Under the night sky, Ganyu disappeared into the western horizon.
Qiqi looked up at Makoto and then said, "Makoto… let's go pick Violetgrass…"
As she spoke, Qiqi pointed to a nearby cliff.
On that cliff, there were two fresh Violetgrass plants.
Violetgrass is a very special medicinal herb, growing only in dangerous and steep high places.
If Qiqi were to climb up to pick the Violetgrass, it would not only be time-consuming and laborious but also dangerous.
Although Qiqi wouldn't get hurt climbing, Makoto still didn't want the little girl to take that risk.
Anyway, Makoto now had Kaedehara Kazuha's 'Chihayaburu', so climbing to pick those two Violetgrass plants was easier for him than for Qiqi.
Because of this, Makoto squatted down and said to Qiqi, "Qiqi, I'll go pick those two Violetgrass plants. You wait for me here, okay?"
Little Qiqi gently shook her head. Little One stubbornly said, "Qiqi… wants to help pick Violetgrass too…"
"Makoto… don't underestimate Qiqi…"
Little Qiqi clearly couldn't make expressions, but Makoto could feel that she seemed a little unhappy.
After all, although she had forgotten everything, her habit of gathering herbs had always remained.
Now, not letting Qiqi gather herbs made her feel useless.
Helpless, Makoto could only compromise: "Qiqi can gather herbs."
"But we have to agree first, you can only pick Violetgrass that is not too high up and easy to climb."
Afraid that Qiqi wouldn't find the spots, Makoto specifically pointed out a few easier places for her to climb.
Qiqi nodded obediently: "Okay…"
After making an agreement with Qiqi, Makoto also set his sights on the two Violetgrass plants growing on the steepest part.
Fortunately, 'Chihayaburu' allowed him to fly very high and could be cast twice simultaneously.
This made it relatively easy for Makoto to climb the large mountain.
But even so, Makoto only climbed a third of the way.
He needed to find a relatively stable spot to adjust his state and wait for the skill cooldown to end before casting it again.
After repeating this operation several times, Makoto finally picked those two Violetgrass plants.
Qiqi's progress was also relatively smooth; she managed to pick Violetgrass without much trouble.
The big and small worked together smoothly, and soon all the Violetgrass that needed to be picked was collected.
Makoto held Qiqi's hand and returned to the intersection where they had parted ways with Ganyu earlier.
Logically, Ganyu's speed should have been faster than Makoto's.
After all, Ganyu subsisted on Qingxin, making it easy for him to pick them.
However, there was still no sign of Ganyu.
"Hear… fighting sounds over there…"
At this moment, Qiqi tugged at Makoto's sleeve and spoke.
Makoto realized that Ganyu must have encountered some trouble, which was why he hadn't arrived yet.
Without time to think, Makoto squatted down, hugged Qiqi, and said, "Qiqi, hold on tight. We're going to go check."
As he spoke, Makoto used 'Chihayaburu', leaping high into the air with Qiqi.
Little Qiqi had never flown before; this was her first time experiencing such a situation.
She could only softly comfort herself: "Qiqi… not scared… not scared…"
