Secondary Permissions and Furina Pulling for Me

Seeing Furina's bewildered expression, Wu Wanghai finally decided to explain everything openly. "It's like this: I have a kind of power that lets me pull cards by consuming these Primogems."

"Oh?" Furina nodded, then asked, "So those strange actions you sometimes make are you using this power?"

Wu Wanghai nodded. "More or less. I call it a phone—the machine in hand-held machine. It's a mechanical device you can hold in your hand... In our world, it's an everyday necessity that everyone has. But the one that came over with me turned into my cheat, or rather, my system."

"Oh~" Furina responded, seeming to understand a little.

Wu Wanghai gave her a rough introduction. "It has lots of functions. First is the clock: it can tell the time whenever I want. The inventory: it lets me store and retrieve all kinds of items. I haven't tested how much it can hold yet, but it's probably a lot."

"Quests: sometimes it gives me little tasks to do. You know, after I used that loudspeaker to shout, I got a Hydro Vision. That came through completing a quest."

"The map: it seems to record Teyvat's map, but it's all blacked out. Only the places I've visited light up. Most importantly, it can record Statues of The Seven and teleport waypoints. That's why I can teleport back and forth."

"And lastly, this—the most important function, pulling cards!"

"I think I roughly understand what you mean, but why can't I see this phone you mentioned?" Furina asked in confusion.

"Maybe because it's a power from outside this world, so you can't see it..." Wu Wanghai said as he casually picked up his phone.

Jokingly, he spoke to the phone. "Did you hear that? My wife Furina can't see my phone. That really shouldn't be happening, right?"

Furina grew flustered again. "Didn't I say you weren't allowed to call me your wife? Why did you say it again?"

"Sorry, sorry. It's Fufu, Fufu..." Wu Wanghai said, only for his phone to suddenly buzz. His star-like eyes widened at once.

[Secondary permissions unlocked. You may select one character to bind.] Secondary permissions: aside from the personal panel, skills, and inventory, which remain inaccessible, the secondary user may also operate the primary user's phone. Note: granting another person secondary permissions is extremely dangerous for the primary user. Please choose your binding target carefully.

Uh... I was just joking. You're seriously giving me this?

But I can choose one person to use my phone...

Yeah, it really is dangerous. After all, a phone is personal privacy. In my old world, even married couples rarely looked through each other's phones.

It's just letting Furina use my phone too. No big deal. More importantly, she can help me pull cards.

Although this is my own exclusive cheat, protagonists usually wouldn't tell anyone else about it.

But this is my wife Furina. Wu Wanghai didn't care what anyone else thought.

Maybe we could complete quests together in the future and unlock more functions.

Perhaps when we had nothing to do, we could even scroll short videos together. Playing Genshin Impact inside Genshin Impact might not be impossible.

Wu Wanghai imagined that future, and the scene was truly beautiful~

Just thinking about Furina using his phone to watch fan-made Furina videos, and even videos of other people—

Pure joy!

As a phone, being able to watch videos, play games, and listen to music had to be standard, right?!

Although he had no idea how to unlock those things yet, that was for later. For now, he would confirm the binding first!

"Bind Furina for me!" Wu Wanghai said. He entered Furina's name and pressed confirm.

[Are you really sure?] [Confirm??] [Seriously???] [The person being bound is coming???]

Good grief, you're playing this game with me? My mind is made up!!!

After selecting affirmative options an unknown number of times, finally...

The phone prompted:

You have successfully bound secondary permission user Furina. As the target cannot read Chinese, secondary permission user Furina has acquired the skill [Chinese Proficiency]. You have also obtained the phone application: Language Translator. You may now freely scan Teyvat text with your phone and translate it into Chinese!

Good, good, good. Wu Wanghai had not expected such an unexpected bonus. He had not expected this function to appear this way.

He had been worrying about not being able to read Teyvat's writing.

Although he could understand it now, he still could not write it. Should he find time to study it?

Well, he was already here...

On Furina's side, the instant Wu Wanghai granted her permission, a flash of white light suddenly filled her vision.

When her sight returned, she saw the phone Wu Wanghai had been holding in his hand.

A rectangular iron brick? The phone was actually glowing right now.

Curiously, Furina stood up and moved to sit beside him.

The dark-blue, starry-sky phone came into Furina's view.

Then she saw the phone's screen.

"Hm? You can see it now?" Wu Wanghai exited the prompt screen and turned to look at Furina.

Furina nodded and stared at Wu Wanghai's phone with fascination.

Wu Wanghai placed the phone in Furina's hands and began seriously teaching her how to use it. "Here, play around with it. This is a touchscreen. Just tap whatever you want to see with your finger. Then..."

"Oh, oh, these words... Why have I never seen them before, yet somehow I understand them?" Under Wu Wanghai's guidance, Furina had already learned the basics of using it when she realized that she had never seen the characters on the phone before, yet she knew exactly what they meant.

It was a very strange feeling.

"Because you gained a new skill, Chinese Proficiency. That's the language and writing from where I come from," Wu Wanghai explained, referring to the new skill on Furina's personal attributes.

But Furina shook her head to indicate that she could not see it.

Wu Wanghai understood. Some things were more private, and even with secondary permissions, Furina still could not see or use them.

That was fine, really. It was basically like buying Fufu a new phone with incomplete functions.

With a thought from Wu Wanghai, the phone quietly hid itself away in his soul or consciousness again.

"Ah!" Furina cried out when she saw the phone vanish.

Then, seeing the phone reappear in Wu Wanghai's hand, she understood why.

"Perfect. Since I've given you such broad, such private permissions," Wu Wanghai said as he opened the wishing screen and pointed at the ten-pull option.

He placed the phone in Furina's hands. "Help, help, help! My luck is awful..." Thirty pulls without gold had nearly killed him waiting for pity.

Wu Wanghai took a deep breath and moved a little farther away from Furina so he would not affect her lucky aura. "Go ahead. I'm ready."

As the number one unluckiest person in a million, as long as he had enough Primogems to reach pity, he was not worried at all.

He only hoped Furina would pull a useful five-star from pity—like a five-star sword. Any sword would do.

Please don't give me another claymore. I'm scared!

"Mm, I just tap this, right?" Furina said, casually pressing her white-gloved left index finger onto the ten-pull button.
