What exactly is a "Great Achievement"?
For many adventurers, it had always been an abstract and vague concept from the very beginning.
The gods may know the true meaning behind it, but… every one of them, without exception, chooses to speak in riddles.
However, from Renjiro's perspective,
"Concepts built around the 'Blessing of the Gods' are already structured into a complete system."
"This system itself has no consciousness. And because the gods who descended sealed away their omnipotent divinity, even they don't know what results will occur. So, instead, they simply enjoy the fun that comes from the unknown."
"Therefore, the ways to achieve a Great Achievement vary wildly, depending entirely on the individual."
"Surpassing one's limits, doing the impossible, becoming a pioneer, gaining unmatched respect… or even committing unforgivable sins, any of these count."
"The key factor is greatness. Whether good or evil, a Great Achievement means something so great (so damn impressive) that even the gods would acknowledge it."
So,
In the original timeline of this world, when a certain red-eyed rabbit boy defeated a Minotaur while still Lv.1, that counted as both self-transcendence and world-shaking impact.
Not long after, Welf Crozzo, though he merely delivered one assisting strike during the subjugation of the strengthened floor boss "Black Goliath," he overcame his inner demons, letting go of the obsessions that shackled him. That was also a Great Achievement, one of self-breakthrough.
There were countless examples like that.
As a certain disgraced Elf, ahem, the Lv.4 "Gale" Ryuu Lion once said:
"For an adventurer, the path to a Great Achievement is clear, to not fear adventure. And the most straightforward method is, defeat something far stronger than yourself."
Of course, to achieve such a thing, strategy, skill, and companions were all indispensable.
As for Renjiro,
He devised the strategy, used the skills, and as for companions… that needed no explanation.
Every Genshin avatar was the perfect ally.
Their coordination was flawless.
And with all these factors combined,
"With a mere Lv.1 blessing level, you successfully defeated a floor boss with potential Lv.5 strength."
"Of course, to outsiders, it will seem like you did so with the assistance of two Lv.2 allies."
"But regardless, "
At the top of Babel Tower, inside the luxurious chamber where a throne sat before a wall of glass overlooking the city, Freya looked at Renjiro, now returned to his original form. The smile on her face couldn't possibly be hidden.
She was proud. Extremely proud.
After all,
"You've achieved an unprecedented Great Achievement."
The proof stood right beside him, propped up like a trophy being shown off to impressed parents at a world championship ceremony,
The White Scale of the Twin-Headed Dragon.
At his feet lay a Twin-Headed Dragon Fang.
And in his other hand, two massive crystals.
One scarlet, one azure.
Ultra-rare first-time drop items that no one had ever heard of before:
Twin-Headed Dragon Eye Crystals.
Every one of these materials from a floor boss (Labyrinth Lone King) was a dream-tier core for forging weapons or magical catalysts.
If he walked these past Welf later… heheh~
A sly grin spread across Renjiro's face, the kind he always had before pranking a good friend.
He was already looking forward to seeing that redhead's expression.
But before that,
"Let's proceed with your Level Up."
Freya reminded him gently, smiling. "You're already dying to start, aren't you?"
"Hah, you really know me best, sis."
Renjiro didn't bother pretending. He pulled over a small stool and sat down in front of the throne.
Moments later, as the blood of the Goddess of Beauty dripped,

==========
Even though he was about to level up, Freya still copied his final true Lv.1 stats onto parchment and handed it to him.
At first glance,
"I awakened two more skills?"
His attention immediately locked onto the Skills section.
Blessing of the Welkin Moon?
Abyssal Lunar Domain?
Don't tell him these were…
==========
Blessing of the Welkin Moon
Increases the acquisition rate of Genshin Avatars.
Daily draw attempts at 4 AM increase based on blessing rank (Currently +1).
==========
"Oh hell yes!"
Renjiro couldn't help clenching his fist in excitement.
Because this meant, even before leveling up, he now had two pulls per day.
After reaching Lv.2, that would become three.
And the higher he climbed, the more daily draws he'd get.
If, hypothetically, he reached Lv.9 someday… that'd be ten pulls a day.
One gold per week guaranteed, unless you're cursed with absolute negative luck.
Of course… that was wishful thinking.
In the last thousand years, Orario had produced exactly one Lv.9.
And even if Renjiro really reached that level one day, what kind of Great Achievement would he need to aim for…?
…Emmmmm~
He calmed his excitement and continued reading.
==========
Abyssal Lunar Domain

==========
Upon reading it, Renjiro finally understood something that had baffled him for a long time.
"So this is how artifacts are farmed."
Then,
"So I'm basically going to become a human server, huh?"
"Am I going to be hosting physical LAN raid events in real life someday?"
Tch, complaints aside, Renjiro already understood the most important point.
For now,
"You can only use this skill yourself."
Freya's words matched his own thoughts exactly.
He hated trouble.
Until he found the right time, this skill would remain private.
For now, it would simply be his artifact farming system.
With that decided,
"Let's begin the Level Up."
