Mondstadt City.
No candles were lit in the courtyard before them. Fischl and Oz had not come over today. They had probably gone home, or perhaps they were exploring the wilderness and had not managed to return even by nightfall.
This was commonplace for adventurers like Li Qiuzhi and Lumine.
It seemed he needed to give Fischl a "Beacon" as soon as possible. After all, the wilderness still held a certain amount of danger, and having a skill that let her escape at any time was important.
"I'm so tired. I just want to rest..."
Paimon entered the house, returning to a familiar, safe environment.
Once she no longer needed to stay as alert as she did in the wilderness, a powerful wave of sleepiness immediately washed over her. She flopped onto the soft sofa, wanting to sleep.
"Sigh, you're covered in dust after running around all day. Take a bath before you sleep."
Lumine held her forehead, then helplessly grabbed Paimon by the back of her collar and carried her toward the washroom.
While the two of them were bathing...
Li Qiuzhi opened the Character Panel and looked at his sixty thousand five hundred or so experience points. Leaving them unused always made him feel uncomfortable, and there was no need to keep so many in reserve.
He gave it a little thought.
He decided to use some to raise his level first, then spend the rest on improving "Lumine's Sword Intent."
Combined with the "Spirit Descent" trait of his max-level Concentration Technique, this skill could now essentially serve as an external incarnation. Li Qiuzhi felt it was worth strengthening.
Then, whenever he needed to explore somewhere dangerous, he could send the sword intent phantom ahead to test the waters.
