Genshin: Ningguang Is Still a Pitiful Little Thing, Invested in by Me — Part 36

Very soon, Fang Xun skillfully opened his inventory interface and checked the artifact he had just obtained.

Out of gaming habit, Fang Xun always subconsciously checked an artifact's substats first.

CRIT DMG +26.3%

CRIT Rate +14%

Elemental Mastery +23

ATK +16

Looking at those four substats, Fang Xun could not help but sigh. He had finally turned his luck around.

All four were useful stats.

How the hell was this supposed to roll badly???

Next, Fang Xun turned his attention to the main stat.

The Sand of Time's main stat was no longer fixed.

Instead, it could be ATK, HP, Energy Recharge, or DEF.

Fang Xun hoped this hourglass's main stat would be ATK.

At the very least, it should have been HP or Energy Recharge, right?

However, when Fang Xun saw the three large characters for DEF on the main stat, he nearly lost it.

I have an MMP to say, but I don't know if I should say it!

So I'm never getting away from DEF in this lifetime, huh?

Fang Xun thought he had escaped bad luck and entered the ranks of the lucky.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would become the unluckiest person alive again?

What a roller coaster of a life...

Sorry, Qiqi Caused Everyone Trouble

Although the hourglass's main stat had rolled DEF, all four substats were useful.

So Fang Xun decided to make do with this artifact for now.

He could change the main stat later once he obtained the necessary item.

After checking the artifact, Fang Xun opened the banner again.

Earlier, after increasing Ningguang's affection, he had received an Intertwined Fate and a gym uniform.

Fang Xun had taken out the gym uniform before, but the Intertwined Fate had remained forgotten in his inventory.

Now that he had obtained another Intertwined Fate, it meant he could pull twice.

Fang Xun's luck was pretty good on his first pull.

A purple glow appeared.

"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the character skill 'Chizuru'!"

Fang Xun was quite familiar with Chizuru.

It was Kaedehara Kazuha's Elemental Skill.

When activated, it could pull nearby objects toward him while launching him into the air.

Not only that, Chizuru could also be charged.

The longer the charge time, the wider its pull range became, and the longer he could remain airborne.

In the game, Chizuru was an excellent skill whether for grouping enemies in the Abyss or traversing the open world.

It could effectively improve the player's gaming experience.

Naturally, the Chizuru Fang Xun pulled from the banner was more powerful than its in-game version.

He could use Chizuru twice in succession within a short period of time.

More importantly, Fang Xun did not need to charge it for Chizuru to reach its maximum pull range.

That meant that whether he was triggering elemental reactions in battle or traversing the open world, everything would become far easier.

In the game, Leaf Heavenly Emperor ranked second only to the Three Gods.

Pulling his skill was definitely not a loss.

Very soon, Fang Xun struck while the iron was hot and made his second pull.

The second pull gave off a blue glow.

It was a talisman, Unlike the talismans Fang Xun had obtained before, this one was not used to alter artifact attributes, but was an item that enhanced memory.

As long as it was affixed to the body, it could effectively improve one's memory.

For ordinary people, attaching this talisman could grant them photographic memory.

Even for someone with a terrible memory, this talisman could help improve the situation.

Fang Xun felt that his memory was not bad, so there was no need for him to use it.

Besides, sticking a talisman on himself would look rather strange.

It was more suitable for Qiqi instead.

After all, little Qiqi already had many paper talismans stuck to her body. One more would not look out of place.

Moreover, Qiqi's memory was truly terrible.

People said fish had seven-second memories.

Qiqi did not even have seven seconds.

Putting this talisman on her was actually quite a good choice.

Fang Xun took the talisman from his backpack and walked toward Qiqi step by step.

Qiqi did not know what Fang Xun intended to do.

Her innocent, bright peach-blossom eyes stared at the talisman in his hand.

She did not know what it was, but instinctively felt afraid and backed away.

"Fang Xun... are you going to seal Qiqi away...?"

"Qiqi... doesn't want to be sealed..."

"Please don't seal Qiqi away... okay...?"

Little Qiqi could not make expressions, but her voice was full of dejection and pleading.

"Qiqi... doesn't want to be trapped in amber again..."

"There wasn't even... anyone to talk to..."

Seeing Qiqi looking so pitiful, Fang Xun felt a stab of pain in his heart.

This little girl had been trapped in amber for far, far too long. It had already left a shadow on her heart.

That was why the sight of a talisman made her so upset.

Fang Xun knew that Qiqi had misunderstood. He crouched down and gently comforted her. "Qiqi, I'm not trying to seal you in amber."

"This talisman can improve your memory. I'm here to help you."

"Please trust me, okay?"

Fang Xun did not know whether Qiqi would be willing to trust him.

After all, they had only just met.

Little Qiqi raised her head, and her clean, clear eyes met Fang Xun's.

"Help Qiqi..."

"Qiqi trusts Fang Xun..."

"Because... Fang Xun is a friend... Qiqi's friend..."

Little Qiqi's voice was soft, yet exceptionally earnest.

Qiqi had a deep fear of talismans, but she still chose to trust Fang Xun.

Simply because they were friends.

In Qiqi's eyes, friends were worthy of trust.

Hearing this, Fang Xun felt something stir in his heart.

How could there be

such a silly, simple-minded little girl in this world?

And precisely because of that, Fang Xun could not betray Qiqi's trust.

Fang Xun stuck the talisman onto Qiqi.

This talisman obtained from the draw really was extraordinary.

After it was attached to Qiqi, it would not fall off from movement or the wind.

Even if someone tried to tear it off with force, it would not budge in the slightest.

Only Fang Xun or Qiqi could remove the talisman.

After attaching it, Fang Xun looked down at Qiqi and asked softly, "How do you feel, Qiqi?"
