"I'll be going then."
"Mm."
Feeling that was enough, Kaito and Kiana left under Zhongli's gaze. The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles... The thought still lingered in his mind. Zhongli was truly curious about the identities of Kaito and Miss Kiana. But there was nothing he could do. Since they wouldn't say, there was no point in asking.
So be it... Deciding not to dwell on it further, Zhongli's figure quickly vanished. Since this was the situation, he would just let fate run its course.
Nighttime. Mondstadt. Kaito's residence.
Sigh... I wonder if that damn system can even start up again...
Glancing at the clock on the wall, Kaito, who was lying in bed, couldn't help but think this. It was almost midnight. If the system could start up normally, then he could continue with the tasks. Although he had been strengthened many times, he still wasn't strong enough, so he had to keep completing tasks.
Just how many times do I need to be strengthened to completely satisfy Wendy and Kiana? With this in mind, Kaito glanced at Kiana and Wendy, who were sleeping on either side of him.
[System initiating new task]
[System startup successful]
Just then, the text for the system startup appeared in Kaito's mind.
Looks like this damn system hasn't kicked the bucket yet... Kaito could finally relax. After experiencing that second explosion, he had been quite worried the system was completely dead.
[This system of yours is totally half-baked, isn't it? It's not reliable at all.]
Although Kaito was in a good mood to see the system again, he couldn't help but complain about the two explosions.
[Apologies, Host. This system could not have predicted such a situation.]
[Forget it. What's the task this time?]
Since it had already happened and hadn't caused him any real loss, Kaito couldn't be bothered to continue the topic. Right now, he just wanted to get on with the tasks.
[Before generating a new task, would the Host like to view this system's new feature?]
A new feature? It had to be said, Kaito was intrigued by those words. He hadn't expected his system to actually come out with a new feature. In that case, he definitely had to take a look.
[What new feature?]
Shifting from lying down to sitting up in bed, Kaito was clearly looking forward to the system's new feature.
[Please take a look, Host.]
In response to Kaito's question, the system directly displayed its panel before his eyes.
Point Exchange?
Looking at the system panel, Kaito quickly spotted the newly appeared Point Exchange button.
Let's see what I can exchange for... Thinking this, Kaito clicked the button.
Holy cow... They're all Divine Keys... But... I don't think I really need these things...
Looking at the screen full of Divine Keys and the series of point buttons below, Kaito felt it wasn't all that great. After all, he didn't have much need for these things.
Hmm... Void Archives... This one isn't bad...
Suddenly seeing the Void Archives, Kaito felt that this one was actually quite good.
[So, are points obtained by completing tasks?]
After looking through everything, Kaito asked this question.
[Yes, Host.] The system replied quickly.
That's not too bad... I'll see if I can exchange for all of them...
After confirming that points were obtained by completing tasks, Kaito decided he would eventually exchange for all the Divine Keys. Although he wasn't overly enthusiastic about the Divine Keys, if he had enough points, he would still exchange for all of them.
Oh, right... [Can these points only be exchanged for Divine Keys? Will more items be added later?]
This suddenly occurred to Kaito, and he immediately asked. If new items were going to be added, he would have to be more considerate with his exchanges.
[Yes, Host. And as the Host continues to unlock new character cards, new features will also continue to be added.]
The system's reply was, as always, swift.
I see... It's all tied to unlocking character cards...
After hearing what the system said, Kaito understood the logic behind it and then continued to ask.
[So, can you reveal what the next new feature is?]
Even though he had just unlocked a new feature, Kaito was already looking forward to the next one. After all, if the next feature was more interesting, he would have more motivation to do tasks.
[The Host is already anticipating the next new feature without even having experienced the one currently provided?]
The system seemed to be rendered speechless by Kaito.
[I don't suppose a thousand points are that easy to get, right? How am I supposed to experience this? Besides, if the next feature is more interesting, I'll be full of motivation. That's good for both of us, right?]
Faced with the system's doubt, Kaito was clearly prepared.
[What the Host says seems to make a lot of sense.]
[Of course. And besides...]
[And to allow the Host to quickly experience the new feature, there is actually a corresponding task. Completing it will grant the Host one random Divine Key.]
[Why didn't you say so earlier?]
Not expecting such a task, Kaito blurted this out subconsciously.
[It has only been five minutes and thirty-one seconds since this system showed the new feature to the Host. That can already be considered 'earlier.']
Kaito: "..."
Hearing the system's reply, Kaito subconsciously glanced at the time and was truly at a loss for words.
[So, what is this task?]
Too lazy to argue with the system about what constituted 'earlier,' Kaito directly asked what the task was.
[Bef□re □'s □, ma□e □iana's char□cter card s□y w□rds that wi□ll sho□k hi□.]
Kaito: "???"
Looking at this task description full of empty squares, Kaito really wanted to beat the crap out of this system.
[After I complete tasks, I have to give half the rewards to repair you, and this is the result? Did you fix absolutely nothing?!]
Seriously, Kaito really wanted to curse, but he rarely swore, so he held back.
Oh, right... It exploded again before...
Suddenly, Kaito remembered the system's second explosion, which made him calm down a little.
Sigh... It explodes every time I use a character card... This damn system is beyond repair...
Sighing silently in his heart, Kaito no longer held any hope of being able to fix this half-baked system of his by completing tasks.
