"Please! The other me!"
On the grassland, a young man charged forward with a Hilichurl Rogue's great scythe in hand.
"Oops, missed."
"Disappear with the butterflies!"
One normal attack, two normal attacks.
"Phantom of bygone days."
Inside the small Hilichurl camp, the last Hilichurl was impaled by Wu Wanghai's great scythe and turned to ash.
"Ugh, this scythe isn't easy to use. It's too big. It'd be much handier if it were smaller." Shaking his head, Wu Wanghai returned the great scythe to the Hydro Hilichurl Ranger sitting on the ground nearby, idly slacking off alongside the other three.
"Come on, it's time to open the treasure chest~" Wu Wanghai crouched down before an exquisite chest.
They had passed through so many places without seeing a single chest! Wu Wanghai had thought there weren't any. Who would've thought treasure chests still existed?
Wu Wanghai happily narrowed his eyes and looked at the three behind him.
Furina walked over, though she had no expectations for what was inside the chest.
She had encountered plenty while patrolling with Clorinde before. As for what was inside them... it was hard to put into words.
Wu Wanghai opened the chest. The first thing that caught his eye was that it was packed full of beautiful four-pointed star-shaped stones.
[Obtained Primogems ×32] [Obtained Mora ×960] [Obtained Fine Enhancement Ore ×2] [Obtained Training Greatsword ×1] [Obtained Instructor's Brooch, Instructor's Hat.]
"Primogems!!!" Wu Wanghai cried out.
He casually placed the blue Instructor's Hat into an equipment slot.
Wu Wanghai glanced at it and, sure enough, it wasn't double Crit—it had Healing Bonus. He was seriously speechless.
But the number of Primogems was beyond Wu Wanghai's understanding. It had given him three times as many! Just as he was celebrating, another notification popped up on his phone.
It was a quest icon.
[Obtained Primogems for the First Time] completed. Enhancement function unlocked (You can directly use Primogems and items obtained from wishes to enhance any target character.) Reforging function unlocked (You can use Primogems to reroll any artifact substat. Costs 5 Primogems per reroll.) Battle Spoils function unlocked (Adds a Primogem reward-claiming bonus. You can spend 10 Primogems to double claimed rewards, or up to 20 Primogems to triple them.)
These three extra functions were pretty interesting, especially the second one—it could actually reroll substats. It cost a few Primogems, but it was still quite practical. Wouldn't artifact farming become much easier in the future?
As for the third one, he probably wouldn't use it. He had never once spent Primogems to buy Resin before. What a waste! He didn't need that function!
Wu Wanghai first opened the enhancement menu to take a look.
Available enhancement targets: Charlotte, Lynette, Lyney.
? Another strange point. Where's my Furina? Can gods not be enhanced?
Wu Wanghai shook his head and first selected Lynette's portrait: Spend 100 Primogems to raise Lynette to Level 20.
Damn it, what a scam!! It cost him a hundred Primogems just to raise Lynette by four levels?!
Use five-star item: Universal Stella Fortuna to increase one Constellation level.
Fine, fine, that's how it was going to be? Lynette was a four-star character, yet it still wanted a five-star Stella Fortuna from him. Well played.
As for other enhancements, there were currently none available for Lynette. Then Wu Wanghai checked Lyney's.
Spend 500 Primogems, plus Agnidus Agate Sliver ×5, Rainbow Rose ×30, and Recruit's Insignia ×30, to break through the Level 20 cap.
Goodbye, then. The Primogems and materials it wanted were far too much of a loss.
Enhancing other people was way too costly for him.
Hmph! Though it would be fine for raising his wife. Once he was richer, he could give Lynette a boost.
Wu Wanghai took one last look. Lyney also needed Universal Stella Fortuna to increase his Constellation.
Enhancement was completely useless to him right now. He would use this function later.
When he entered the reforging interface, it automatically switched to the five pieces of equipment he was wearing.
Seeing four blue and one purple among the five circles, he immediately backed out to the main menu. He would definitely wait until he had gold ones before rerolling them. This was another function for later.
Seeing that he could spend Primogems to reroll rewards, Wu Wanghai suddenly felt tempted again. He had never used Primogems to refill Resin before, but now he was personally in Teyvat.
In the early stages, he truly needed to raise his strength quickly!
Perfect. Once he found a Ley Line Outcrop for EXP, he would spend Primogems a few times to farm it.
"What Primogems? Are you talking about those pretty stones?" Although Wu Wanghai had taken the items from the chest almost instantly, Furina had still seen the pile of colorful stones inside when he opened it.
Furina waited a moment before Wu Wanghai, having finished reading the new content on his phone, answered, "Yes, yes! Primogems are my favorite!"
After nodding, Wu Wanghai suddenly realized he didn't need to search all over the world opening treasure chests. Didn't they have no use for Primogems anyway?
He could just buy Primogems with Mora!!
Wu Wanghai's heart raced. This idea was totally feasible! Wouldn't getting tens of thousands, even hundreds of millions, of Primogems become effortless?
"Fufu, you must have lots of these pretty stones, right?" Wu Wanghai looked at her expectantly. He had heard that some people here liked collecting these beautiful stones too. Now he had another goal: find them and squeeze every last Primogem out of them.
"These stones..." Furina crossed one arm over her chest and nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, I think I collected some a long time ago. There should be an entire box full of them in my room."
"W-What?! An entire box full!!! Rich lady, I'm hungry! Give them to me, give them to me!" Wu Wanghai instantly became excited. He practically teleported in front of Furina and grabbed both her hands in his.
"Ah, hey!... Fine, fine. I'll give them all to you! Don't suddenly grab my hands!" Furina's face turned slightly red. After struggling for quite a while, she finally pulled her hands free.
Since Furina had an entire box, Wu Wanghai instantly snapped his head toward Lynette and Lyney.
"Lyn-nette~~~~ Do you have any Primogems?"
Lynette, who had been staring motionlessly with her eyes open at the intimate behavior between those two, had her pupils suddenly tremble. Had Wu Wanghai's crooked-necked movement startled her?
"..."
Seeing Lynette remain silent, Wu Wanghai turned to Lyney beside her. "What about you, Lyney?"
"No." Lyney shook his head. Their home was not particularly large to begin with, so how could they keep useless pretty stones lying around?
Wu Wanghai thought for a moment as he looked at the siblings. His mind began to turn. They were Fatui, after all.
Among the Fatui, the only people he had connected with so far were these siblings.
If possible... he could get the Fatui involved in collecting Primogems, then giving them all to him for free.
Wow, Wu Wanghai hardly dared imagine it. He would surely be drowned in an ocean called "Primogems."
They had no idea of the Primogems' true value.
Hehe, I told you, this deal is a great bargain~! So said a certain miracle merchant.
"Lyney, I know several large-scale magic tricks~, like human disappearance, human sawing, and human levitation." After some thought, Wu Wanghai decided to trade the magic trick explanations he had seen before for something from Lyney.
"Oh? Let's hear them." Wu Wanghai had piqued Lyney's interest.
At present, the only large-scale magic trick he and Lynette knew was water tank escape. They also had another one already planned out, with the props still being made: a live human transportation act that had yet to premiere.
