Junze shifted his gaze to the other items in the gift pack.
Aside from the Primogems, there were three other items inside the pack.
An attribute card, a skill card, and an item card.
Junze took out the attribute card.
The moment he touched it, he felt his body enveloped in a mass of golden light, extremely comfortable.
He felt that something new had been added inside his body.
[Attribute · Focused Concentration]
[Description: Five-star attribute. When in a focused state, the speed of mastering skills increases greatly.]
"This really is a top student's exclusive skill."
Junze looked at his own hands and sighed. "Not sure what the exact effect is like. I'll find something to test it on later."
Junze's gaze fell on the other two items.
[Item · Seeds of Delicious Qingxin] ×10
[Description: Four-star item. Can grow Qingxin of exceptionally delicious flavor from ancient times.]
[Skill · Beginner Planting]
[Description: Three-star skill. Initial mastery of planting techniques.]
Junze used the skill card, and pale green light enveloped his body.
A large amount of planting knowledge instantly flooded into his mind.
However, Junze discovered that he currently only grasped the related knowledge and could not yet put it into practice.
He needed his own attempts to fully master this skill.
"As expected, skills still require personal effort."
Junze shook his head helplessly. "These things aren't that easy to obtain."
However, Junze was not disappointed about this.
After all, one had to be content.
Junze looked at the remaining cards in his hand and suddenly laughed. "Why does it feel like these two things were specially prepared for Master? Is the system planning to have me give an apprenticeship gift?"
Ganyu loved Qingxin very much. Junze had firmly kept that in mind.
"Hehe, thinking about it that way, it's actually pretty nice."
"Especially after growing them, watching Master's conflicted expression of wanting to eat them but not daring to, feels very interesting."
Despite still being a child, a scheming smile appeared on his face.
Yet even so, paired with that cute little face, it carried a different kind of charm.
Junze could not wait to try it out.
"My dear Master Ganyu, to repay the grace of you saving me, your disciple will definitely grow the most delicious Qingxin in this world!"
If Ganyu knew what Junze was thinking, she would definitely shout in an embarrassed, timid tone: Stop! Please don't tease me!
After finishing the [Quests] tab, Junze opened the next one: [Status].
This described Junze's current condition.
At this moment, Junze was still in a hungry state.
However, many other contents had already appeared there.
First were the skills and attribute he had just obtained.
But aside from those, there were three additional attributes.
[Attribute · Greed]
[Description: Unrated. Innate attribute of Taotie. Governs the authority of greed. Can obtain power from greed.]
The reason Junze had been able to speak earlier was precisely because his greed to get close to Ganyu had been satisfied, granting him a bit of the ability to speak.
However, how exactly to activate this authority attribute still required Junze to continue exploring.
[Attribute · Devour]
[Description: Unrated. Innate attribute of Taotie. Can devour all things and obtain power from them. Side effect: Gluttony.]
"This unrated description, this effect… truly worthy of Taotie."
Junze's eyes shone.
From these two attributes alone, it was clear that Junze only needed to absorb greed and keep eating to grow stronger.
Such an easy way to become stronger was simply a blessing for someone as laid-back as Junze.
This was also why Taotie had been difficult to defeat during the Archon War.
These two innate attributes allowed Taotie to remain in a constant full state.
The final attribute.
[Attribute · Body of Taotie]
[Description: Five-star attribute. Taotie is born with a powerful body and can switch between beast form and human form.]
After reviewing his status panel, Junze sighed. "No wonder Cloud Retainer is so wary of me. These innate attributes of the Taotie Demon God are way too strong."
An easy method of becoming stronger, a powerful physique, and the unfathomable authority of greed.
How could ordinary gods defeat that?
After all, what this world lacked least were people filled with greed.
Junze only needed to walk casually among humans to become incomparably strong by drawing on those people's greed.
"Still, that Greed attribute really is somewhat worrying."
After all, Junze had made a contract with Ganyu. He absolutely could not harm the world.
Junze did not know what kind of influence this innate attribute might have on him.
"I still need to be careful when using it."
Closing the status panel, he looked at [Map].
The map had not changed much. The visible area had simply expanded.
And there was now an additional function that could locate Ganyu's position.
Junze nodded in realization. "It's a bit like the co-op function."
That way, in the future, Junze would not have to worry about being unable to find Ganyu.
Closing that function, Junze swallowed. "Gulp."
His gaze fell on the last function.
[Wish]
This was the source of all evil!
For the 1600 Primogems he had just obtained, it was very possible they would produce absolutely no result here!
And if he had not heard wrong earlier, a limited banner had appeared just now.
"What is it?"
Saying that, Junze opened the [Wish] panel with a nervous mood.
When he saw the limited-time [Wish] interface, his two beautiful eyes widened enormously.
[Limited Banner: Fleeting Life Who Comes]
Five-star: [Skill · Mahākāla]
[T/N: Mahākāla (摩珂钵特摩) is a Sanskrit-derived term meaning "Great Time" or "Great Black One," a deity associated with time, destruction, and cosmic dissolution. Since there is no official English localization provided for this term in-game, this translation adopts "Mahākāla" as the most accurate rendering based on its Sanskrit origin.]
Four-star: [Quest · Random], [Item · Coconut Milk], [Attribute · Adeptus Bearing]
Junze blinked.
Although he could not view effects from within the banner, just from the names it was obvious what they were!
"Mahākāla! Is this that time-freezing skill?!"
Freezing time, at a glance, was a bug-level skill!
Want!
Junze stared eagerly at the five-star item, not paying attention to the four-stars for the moment.
If he had noticed the coconut milk, he would probably have felt the so-called five-star was not very attractive at all.
"How about… one ten-pull first?"
Junze looked at the 1600 Primogems.
"Maybe my luck has turned?"
Junze muttered to himself.
Yet just as he was about to make the pull, a very gentle voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
"Aze, we've arrived."
It was Ganyu calling him.
