"Hestia, you were right." Levi, having quickly scanned his status panel, turned his head to look at the twin-tailed goddess waiting by his side. "The Developmental Ability 'Genshin', in certain aspects, is indeed more powerful than 'Spirit Healing'."
The 'Trifolium' (Feles) Constellation, once anchored by 'Stella Resonance', no longer used the Cryo element stored in the Vision for its Skill and Burst Magic, but rather Levi's own Mana.
Furthermore, the bonuses provided by the six lit Stars were slightly different from the original game.
Take C1 for example. The Vision's effect was to restore 15% of the Cryo element cap after the Signature Mix field disappeared. Now, it restored 15% of Mana, capped at 150 points.
It seemed like a significant restriction.
But in reality, a 4-Star Vision could only store 200 points of Cryo element.
15% of that was only 30 points. Even treating it as equivalent, that's 60 points.
Levi himself, counting his potential ability values, had a total Mana exceeding 5000.
He could easily hit the maximum recovery cap.
And this was without calculating the bonuses from Goddess's Blessing, weapons, and artifacts!
Hestia placed her hands on her hips, tilted her head up slightly, and hummed with a face full of pride. "Young man, this is the foresight of a God."
Levi clapped his hands, giving her full credit. "Then, how do you think I should continue to strengthen myself?"
Hestia had undoubtedly thought about this question.
Without a shred of hesitation, she lifted her finger and pointed to a name on the parchment. "I would max out this Constellation first."
Levi followed his patron deity's gesture, then raised an eyebrow.
"It seems you're still a bit worried about my ability to survive."
The Constellation Hestia chose was named 'Pristine Bell'. In the world of Genshin, it corresponded to the little zombie of Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue, Qiqi.
In the game, Qiqi was a standard banner character. Whether it was her Skill or Burst, they were useful for early-game exploration, but as the game difficulty increased, she was quickly phased out.
Unless one was a die-hard fan, she was rarely seen in high-difficulty content like the Abyss.
However, in reality, as one of the illuminated beasts/adepti-adjacent beings of Liyue...
Qiqi's kit, counting the Constellation bonuses, could almost certainly be said to surpass the shield-bearing Trifolium (Diona).
Especially the C6 bonus effect. When releasing Burst Magic, it could grant oneself and all units marked as allies a 'Limb Regrowth' effect.
In the game, Qiqi's C6 effect was to revive fallen characters. In reality, resurrection was the domain of the Gods; it was impossible for it to appear on a 5-Star or 6-Star skill.
But even the 'Limb Regrowth' effect was a miracle unique in this world.
Amid Teasanare of the Dian Cecht Familia, known as the 'Battlefield Saint', was impressive. Her awakened magic combined mass healing, detoxification, and curse removal into one.
It was said that as long as the target had a single breath left, she could pull them back from the line of death.
Even so, faced with an adventurer missing limbs, she could only install a prosthetic for them, unable to restore them to a normal person.
"Being careful is never wrong." Hestia hugged her dependent's arm, her tone low. "Didn't you tell me earlier? For safety reasons, there's a high probability you'll go challenge a Level 5 Floor Boss next. Against such an existence, no amount of caution is excessive."
If possible, Levi actually wanted to do what he did when leveling from Lv1 to Lv2 and Lv2 to Lv3—grind numbers to accumulate the Excellia needed for advancement.
But the Deep Floors corresponding to Level 4 monsters meant going beyond the 37th Floor.
Let alone a team of just him and Tsubaki, even if the number increased to double digits, a single accident could very likely lead to a total wipeout.
In a sense, starting from this stage, soloing a Floor Boss under the supervision of a protector was actually the safer option.
Levi thought for a moment, then nodded. "No one would complain about having too many healing skills."
"Hehe~" Seeing him take her advice, Hestia couldn't help but smile happily.
With the target set, the next step was naturally the gacha.
Although the Developmental Ability 'Luck' had unknowingly risen to Rank H, it hadn't reached the point where quantity transformed into quality yet.
Six rounds of draws followed, successively consuming 14m, 12m, 7m, 8m, 15m, and 14m Valis from Levi.
[Constellation · Pristine Bell · 5-Star (Bound) x6: Can be used on a 4-Star Cryo Vision (with or without Stars) or a 5-Star Cryo Vision (Pristine Bell 1-5 Star). Converts it into a 5-Star Cryo Vision (Pristine Bell 1-6 Star).]

...
Among the four items obtained from losing the 50/50 pity, apart from the Fox Spirit Sin-Eater grimoire (Yae Miko's skill?), the remaining three items were barely usable.
Especially 'Wolf's Gravestone', which was very suitable for siege battles against giant bosses.
However, to utilize its maximum power, he obviously needed to master a Greatsword technique.
In the item inventory, 70,000 Valis were consumed, replaced by a brand new skill appearing on the status panel:
[Favonius Bladework · Claymore · 3-Star (Beginner 1%+): Initial mastery of the Claymore version of Favonius Bladework techniques.]
After learning the new skill, Levi took out the Vision that had been reconverted to Cryo and successively invested the six Pristine Bell Constellations into it:
[Vision (Pristine Bell · C6 Enhanced) · 5-Star (Bound)][Indestructible][Cryo Element: 0/500][Actively converts own Mana or passively converts environmental Mana into Cryo Element for storage][Consumes Cryo Element to convert Normal Attacks into Cryo Attribute Attacks][Consumes Cryo Element to slowly increase Ability Values][Carried Magic:][Skill · Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost · 5-Star: Consumes 50 Cryo Element to summon a 'Herald of Frost' that orbits the user. It automatically attacks hostile targets and provides HP regeneration to the user. While the Herald exists, hitting targets restores own HP. Healing efficiency is proportional to Strength stat.][Burst · Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune · 6-Star: Consumes 200 Cryo Element to deal Cryo Damage to nearby enemies and apply a 'Fortune-Preserving Talisman' made of condensed Cryo Element inside their bodies. When allies attack enemies bearing the Talisman, they restore HP proportional to the Vision holder's Strength stat.]
[C1 Bonus: When the Herald of Frost hits an enemy marked by a Talisman, the Vision restores 2% of its Max Cryo Element.][C2 Bonus: When attacks hit enemies affected by Cryo, Strength is massively increased.][C3 Bonus: Every attack that hits a target has a 50% chance to apply a 'Fortune-Preserving Talisman' inside the enemy.][C4 Bonus: Hostile targets bearing a 'Fortune-Preserving Talisman' have their Strength massively reduced.][C5 Bonus: While under the effect of Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost, incoming healing effects are massively increased.][C6 Bonus: When casting Adeptus Art: Preserver of Fortune, grants self and all units marked as allies a 'Limb Regrowth' effect.]
