It was as if he had been using this skill since the moment he was born; it was instinctual.
With just a thought, he could unleash the skill.
Most importantly, When Ganyu used Mountain Marsh Lin Ji, she left behind a blue ice lotus.
But when Fang Xun used it, what was left was a brilliant golden lotus, its center seeming to burn like a raging fire!
When the lotus exploded, its destructive power was immense, Comparable to Eula's ultimate!
This wasn't a life-saving skill at all; it was practically a nuclear bomb!
Fang Xun finally understood.
The skill the system gave him was an enhancement on top of the original skill, with a tiny bit of damage increase!
If that was the case, As long as Fang Xun drew enough skills and obtained powerful Artifacts, Wouldn't it be possible to blow up another Stormterror's Lair or cleave another Tenshukaku?
Who said a mortal's body couldn't rival the gods?
Fang Xun had something to say about that!
Although the skill 'Mountain Marsh Lin Ji' he obtained had explosive damage, Fang Xun couldn't use it carelessly.
After all, this was Liyue, a land symbolizing order and contracts.
If he made too much of a scene, the Millelith and even the Seven Stars would come looking for him.
Fang Xun was new to Liyue and unfamiliar with the place, so it was best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Fang Xun exited the system interface, and time began to flow again.
Little Ningguang looked at the food Fang Xun had brought. After a long hesitation, Finally, She picked up the bento box for Tender Jiao Jiao Chicken.
She didn't touch the bento box containing Peaceful Four Directions.
"Brother Fang Xun, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept all of your gifts."
"You only ate one of my grilled fish. It wouldn't be right for me to take two of your dishes."
"Ningguang isn't a willful child, so I'll just take this Tender Jiao Jiao Chicken!"
Ningguang gave a sweet smile, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent moons.
She was sensible, so sensible it was heartbreaking.
Even though Fang Xun offered her two meals in exchange, Little Ningguang only chose one, not wanting to take advantage of Fang Xun.
She had her own principles.
Fang Xun's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He knew Ningguang had been strong since childhood, but this still exceeded his expectations.
This little girl, who should have been carefree at her age, was far too sensible.
The saying "children from poor families grow up fast" was absolutely true.
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible little girl before him, Fang Xun naturally wished she would accept all the food.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, "You're still growing, you need nutrients, you know?"
"If you feel uncomfortable accepting this extra Peaceful Four Directions, how about this: we make another deal."
"I'll take this Peaceful Four Directions and trade it for your time tomorrow. How does that sound?"
Little Ningguang heard this and found it novel.
"Brother Fang Xun, buy my time?"
She felt her time had always been worthless.
No one would be willing to buy the time of a poor little girl like her, So she didn't understand what Fang Xun intended to do.
Fang Xun nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, after all, I'm new to Liyue and unfamiliar with this city."
"So, I'd like to find a guide to show me around and help me get to know the city."
"Little Ningguang, are you familiar with Liyue?"
Hearing Fang Xun's question, Ningguang nodded and replied, "I am!"
It's important to know that Ningguang often sold goods in the streets and alleys of Liyue.
Wherever there were people, she had been.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a living map of Liyue.
Fang Xun smiled faintly and said softly, "That's good."
"You'll show me around Liyue tomorrow, and this Peaceful Four Directions will be your payment. How about that?"
"Okay!" Ningguang agreed almost without thinking.
As a small merchant, she had already calculated in her little head whether she could earn a Peaceful Four Directions in a day.
The answer was clearly no, so this deal was worth making.
More importantly, Ningguang also had a good impression of this big brother from a foreign land named Fang Xun.
Even if Fang Xun didn't give her any reward, Ningguang estimated she would agree to be his guide tomorrow.
"Then please accept this Peaceful Four Directions." Fang Xun picked up the lunchbox and handed it to Ningguang.
"Mhm, thank you, Brother Fang Xun." Ningguang nodded and thanked him again.
Actually, she knew very well, that Fang Xun could easily find a tour guide on the streets of Liyue.
The cost for such a guide wouldn't be much.
Fang Xun trading a Peaceful Four Directions for her day's time was actually helping Ningguang.
How could Little Ningguang not understand this?
She had never met anyone as kind as Fang Xun, and she didn't know how to express her gratitude, so she could only thank him over and over again.
Before meeting Fang Xun, Ningguang felt that Liyue was vast and crowded.
She couldn't even see any light here, only darkness and a biting cold wind.
But it wasn't until Fang Xun appeared that he dispelled the gloom in Ningguang's heart.
Looking at Fang Xun's profile, Ningguang couldn't help but sigh, "If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up."
Chapter 6: A Desperate and Helpless Mother and Daughter, A Ray of Hope Appears
"Brother Fang Xun, I'll see you tomorrow then!"
Ningguang packed up the lunchbox and waved goodbye to Fang Xun, then turned and disappeared down the road.
Ningguang's farewell surprised Fang Xun a little, because he had expected Ningguang to open the lunchbox immediately and start eating.
After all, Ningguang's stomach had been rumbling with hunger while she was grilling the fish.
Fang Xun still remembered how shy and blushing the little girl had been.
Yet, this girl, who was starving, didn't rush to eat the food when she saw it, but chose to take it home instead.
Fang Xun soon understood Ningguang's action.
Ningguang must have thought the meal was very generous and wanted to take it home to share with her family.
This made Fang Xun sigh, this little girl was so sensible it was heartbreaking.
If Fang Xun had helped Ningguang before because he wanted to gain a connection and future help from a wealthy woman, then now, he was helping Ningguang more from the bottom of his heart.
Because this little girl had truly had a difficult life.
Watching Ningguang's disappearing back, Fang Xun continued to eat the grilled fish and said, "I hope that money can alleviate some of her pressure."
Yes, in the lunchbox he gave to Ningguang, Fang Xun had secretly put a bag of Mora.
The amount of Mora wasn't much, only fifty thousand.
Of course, Fang Xun wasn't directly gifting the money, but lending it to Ningguang.
She could repay it when she had the money in the future.
