Let's check in with Fang Xun.
After modifying the sub-stats on his artifacts, he promptly opened the gacha pool.
He hadn't used the Intertwined Fate he received from raising Ningguang's affection.
Sticking to the principle of "one pull for a miracle," Fang Xun opted for a single pull.
A ray of light descended from the sky.
A soft, azure glow appeared before Fang Xun.
Then,
That blue light erupted with a dazzling, golden brilliance!
Got a gold!
Got a gold on the fifth pull!
Looking at this scene, Fang Xun almost shed tears of excitement, a rare occurrence for a non-whale player.
He'd been playing this game for so long, and it was basically guaranteed to get the gold at the pity.
To get a gold in five pulls was really something!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the five-star skill 'Secret Rite of Wangsheng'!"
The skill icon that appeared before him was a small, floating ghost, looking extremely playful.
Fang Xun had a very good impression of this 'Secret Rite of Wangsheng'.
This is Hu Tao's Elemental Burst skill, and the damage is quite impressive.
In the game, there are often various big shots.
They use elemental reactions, character skill amplification, and various enhancement potions.
Finally, they unleash millions of damage points through the 'Secret Rite of Wangsheng', resulting in a "nuclear explosion" effect.
But for Fang Xun, the 'Secret Rite of Wangsheng' he obtained through gacha pulls doesn't involve such a complicated process.
He doesn't need any reaction effects, nor does he need to consume any amplification potions. He can effortlessly surpass the so-called "nuclear explosion" numbers.
He heard the Geo Hypostasis and the Ruin Serpent are damage detectors.
Fang Xun just wanted to say,
Blood thick? So what?
High resistance? So what?
If they can take his 'Secret Rite of Wangsheng', he loses!
Fang Xun quickly unlocked the skill and put it into his skill library.
He mastered the skill naturally, as if it was an ability he was born with.
Exiting the interface, time resumed its flow.
After that, Fang Xun accompanied little Ningguang and carefully inspected the two-story structure of the new house.
The house was large, and there were many bedrooms.
Even if more people moved in, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Fang Xun ruffled Ningguang's little head and said softly, "Little girl, it's getting late. Shall we go and pick up your mother?"
Originally, Ningguang had planned to go and get her mother herself, letting Fang Xun rest at home.
However, Fang Xun didn't feel comfortable letting Ningguang go alone, especially since it was already dark.
So, he decided to accompany Ningguang to pick her up.
"Mm-hmm!" Little Ningguang nodded vigorously, her bright eyes filled with anticipation.
She imagined her mother's surprise when she learned they could live in Liyue.
Just thinking about it made the little girl break into a happy smile.
Soon,
the two left Liyue Harbor under the cover of night.
Liyue City was brightly lit, bustling with activity.
But after leaving the city, the lights became fewer and fewer, and the noise gradually faded away.
In the end,
the only thing accompanying them was the faint moonlight.
To be honest, Fang Xun couldn't adapt to this environment,
because it was too dark, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.
Even if there was a pillar right in front of him, Fang Xun wouldn't have noticed it and would have crashed into it.
There was no help for it; visibility was incredibly low.
This made Fang Xun recall the time he did the Tsurumi Island quest, when the entire map was shrouded in thick fog.
Image
Yeah, it was pretty much that kind of feeling.
You basically couldn't see anything.
For Fang Xun, it was torture.
But even in such an environment,
Little Ningguang's walking speed didn't slow down at all.
Because she walked this path in the dark every day,
she naturally became very familiar with it after doing it so many times.
What would the little girl be thinking when she walked this path home every night?
She must be scared, right?
Thinking of this,
Fang Xun couldn't help but feel sorry for Ningguang.
This child had experienced so much suffering before.
But she never complained, facing life optimistically every day.
It was really tough.
Little Ningguang didn't notice the complex expression on Fang Xun's face.
She thought Fang Xun was a little scared,
so she immediately took Fang Xun's hand and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Fang Xun. Ningguang will hold your hand and lead the way!"
"Although it's a bit dark here, we'll be at Ningguang's home soon~"
"There will be lights once we get home. Mom waits for Ningguang at the door with a lantern every night!"
The little girl was worried that Fang Xun was nervous, so she took the initiative to talk to Fang Xun and comforted him.
"You're just like a little adult."
Ningguang paused, then continued, "Big brother Fang Xun, I'll sing for you~"
"I used to be really scared when I walked alone at night, but then I realized singing could give me courage!"
"I'm not a very good singer, don't laugh at me, okay?"
Little Ningguang sang for Fang Xun,
The little girl's voice was young, but her singing was pleasant to the ear,
It was a folk song from Liyue,
Although Fang Xun didn't understand many of the words, he could still grasp the general meaning,
That song was about a wild grass, swaying in the wind and rain, and its story of tenacious survival.
Wild grass isn't as stunningly beautiful as those flowers,
but it still wants to live in this world.
In fact, Fang Xun could tell that Ningguang was actually singing about herself in this song.
Not wanting to live an ordinary life,
she was striving to prove her own worth.
Fang Xun was very moved after listening to it.
He took Ningguang's Vision out of his backpack,
This Vision belonged to Ningguang.
In other words, this Vision was useless in Fang Xun's hands.
Only Ningguang could bring out its power.
Fang Xun hadn't given the Vision to Ningguang before because he felt the little girl was too young.
He'd planned to give it to her when she was older.
But now, Fang Xun didn't think it was necessary.
He felt that even if he gave the Vision to Ningguang now,
That little girl will definitely put this Vision to good use.
The song ended,
Little Ningguang stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "Brother Fang Xun, even though I didn't sing well, you shouldn't be so scared anymore, right?"
Fang Xun was a bit speechless.
He wasn't even fazed by the more spooky Tsurumi Island.
How could he be afraid of this?
But Little Ningguang was just being caring,
Fang Xun naturally wouldn't hurt the little girl's feelings.
"Little Ningguang sings beautifully! I really wasn't afraid to walk at night after listening to you!"
Hearing Fang Xun's praise, the little girl was a bit shy, revealing a simple and cute smile.
"Ningguang,"
"Hmm? What is it, Brother Fang Xun?"
The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, looking at Fang Xun with curiosity.
Fang Xun stuffed the Vision into her hands and said seriously, "This Vision is a reward for your bravery. Keep it safe."
"I believe you can definitely bring out the power of this Vision."
