Genshin: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

Fang Xun opened the gacha pool.

The system-provided pool was rather peculiar.

The gacha interface showed all released characters gathered together, all rate-up.

This type of summoning wasn't to obtain characters, but to acquire all of their skills and strengthen oneself.

In other words, as long as Fang Xun acquired enough skills, it wouldn't be impossible to use seven elemental powers simultaneously.

He could, in an instant, use nuking skills like 'Starfall', 'Ultimate: Dream of True Sayings', and 'Mystic Aegis'.

Even if Heavenly Principles arrived, they would be confused seeing this scene.

Following that, Fang Xun chose a single pull, hoping to draw a character skill to improve his survivability.

Alright, blue sky and white clouds, not even a purple light appeared.

Is it going to be 'reasoning' again?

I really don't want that thing anymore, I've seen it so much I'm sick of it.

Please, change it to another weapon.

When the white light dissipated, Fang Xun obtained not a weapon, but a talisman.

[Enhancement Talisman: Upon use, it can re-roll Artifact substats.]

[Note: After using the Enhancement Talisman, Artifact substats can be chosen freely for enhancement.]

It can change Artifact substats??

Fang Xun was stunned looking at this Enhancement Talisman.

Good heavens, I never expected the system's gacha pool to contain such a heaven-defying item!

Most importantly, this is actually only a three-star item??

Then the four-star and five-star items drawn must be even better!

So fragrant!

Fang Xun didn't think about it any further and directly used the Enhancement Talisman, starting to change the stats of the Gladiator's Circlet.

Defense +4.1%

Defense +16

Critical Damage +30.2%

Critical Rate +12.1%

Looking at these changes, Fang Xun finally nodded, it's barely usable.

Fang Xun equipped the flower, but felt nothing himself.

It's probably because he can't use elemental powers yet.

Perhaps once he draws a certain skill, he'll be able to see the bonus effects from the Artifacts.

Fang Xun put away the system panel and decided to take a good walk around Liyue Harbor to understand the situation.

From the moment he started summoning to enhancing his Artifacts, time outside had been paused, so there were no safety hazards or negative impacts whatsoever.

Fang Xun walked down the street and then stopped.

He saw Little Ningguang again.

The girl was climbing ashore from the river, still holding a fresh fish in her hand.

Fang Xun was a bit confused. Ningguang had just obtained four thousand Mora.

Logically speaking, that should be more than enough to pay for a meal, so why was she still going into the river to catch fish?

However, Fang Xun quickly understood.

Little Ningguang probably couldn't bear to spend the money and wanted to take it back intact.

She was so hungry that she could only scoop fish from the riverbank.

No wonder this little girl's body was so thin, as if she could be blown over by the wind at any moment.

It turns out she suffered from long-term malnutrition.

Since Fang Xun had seen it, he naturally couldn't just stand by.

He turned and headed to Wanmin Restaurant, buying a portion of Tender Jiao Jiao Chicken and a portion of Peaceful Four Directions from Chef Mao.

After buying them, Fang Xun walked towards Ningguang's location, carrying the food.

Fang Xun knew Ningguang was good at grilling fish.

However, even though grilled fish was delicious, she couldn't eat fish every day.

It wouldn't fill her stomach, and she would get hungry again easily.

Furthermore, the long-term nutritional imbalance made Little Ningguang appear thinner than children her age.

The little girl was still growing, so Fang Xun naturally couldn't let her go hungry.

Chapter 4: Let's Make Another Deal, I'll Take Your Grilled Fish

Meanwhile, Ningguang, after catching the fish and bringing it ashore, immediately started a fire on the bank to grill it.

Everything looked so skilled and natural.

You have to understand, in the past, Ningguang often encountered situations where her goods wouldn't sell.

This also led to her going hungry frequently.

When she was truly starving, Ningguang could only go to the river to catch fish to eat.

With practice, she became quite adept.

Over time, Ningguang's grilled fish skills improved.

The fish she grilled were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and filled with aroma.

At this moment, Ningguang, who was grilling the fish, heard footsteps. The movement of her hands paused.

Then, her gaze followed the direction of the sound. Her young, delicate face was filled with alertness, ready to flee at any moment.

Although Liyue was protected by the Millelith all around, there were still some lawless individuals wandering about.

Ningguang had encountered Treasure Hoarders blocking the road and robbing her several times.

Those people were vicious and would stop at nothing.

Whenever they encountered Treasure Hoarders, they would thoroughly search everyone, regardless of gender or age, for Mora and valuables.

Fortunately, Little Ningguang was clever enough, and combined with her small stature, she was able to escape from the Treasure Hoarders without any danger.

Through the faint firelight, Ningguang saw that the person approaching was Fang Xun.

Fang Xun was carrying something in his hand, which looked like food.

Only then did Little Ningguang relax a little, no longer as guarded as before.

She didn't know why, but Ningguang always felt a sense of closeness when she looked at Fang Xun.

Her intuition told her that this big brother was not dangerous.

"Brother Fang Xun, why are you here?"

Ningguang asked, blinking her big eyes in curiosity.

Her voice was light and melodious, pleasant to the ear.

Ningguang's family couldn't afford to live in the bustling areas of Liyue and could only live at the foot of the mountain.

This road, apart from the Millelith stationed there, was rarely frequented by anyone, especially at night.

Everyone was afraid of encountering Treasure Hoarders when going out.

So Ningguang was basically used to walking alone on this road.

Seeing Fang Xun appear now, she felt very confused.

"I came here to enjoy the scenery and have a meal,"

Fang Xun said with a smile, raising the packed food in his hand towards Ningguang.

"Um... is your fish almost burnt?"

Fang Xun glanced at the grilled fish in front of Ningguang and then reminded her.
