Listening to the system's prompts, Makoto was a little surprised.
He had originally just wanted to comfort Ganyu, so she wouldn't blame herself so much.
He didn't expect to actually increase Ganyu's friendship with him??
This means Ganyu is also a cute little simpleton.
From now on, Makoto has another target for increasing friendship.
He reined in his thoughts.
Makoto opened the gacha page for a single pull.
This time, his luck was pretty good; a purple light streaked across the clouds.
Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the skill 'Earth Core'!
Seeing the skill that appeared before him, Makoto's eyes immediately lit up.
Because he was too familiar with this skill!
Isn't this Mr. Zhongli's "Refuse to Accept Sick Son-in-Law"?
'Earth Core' has two usage methods: short press and long press.
Short press manipulates the earth's Geo element to gather, creating a Stone Stele.
It's generally used to change terrain, to reach higher places to retrieve items.
At the same time, this Stone Stele is quite intelligent and can help players solve puzzles.
For example, when encountering Inazuma's cube mechanisms, Makoto just needs to erect a pillar there, and before long, the Stone Stele will automatically unlock the mechanism.
Who seriously studies how to break mechanisms?
Let the Stone Stele intelligently solve the puzzles.
Isn't it great?
Compared to the short press which saves time, the long press of 'Earth Core' is its true essence.
Long pressing 'Earth Core', while forming a Stone Stele, causes the nearby Geo element to erupt.
Simply put, this skill is convenient for mining.
Not only that, long pressing 'Earth Core' will also put a Yu Zhang Shield on the player.
That Yu Zhang Shield can resist DMG and lower the enemy's resistance.
In the game, precisely because Mr. Zhongli's skill mechanism was too outrageous,
it led to countless players who were too lazy to dodge.
No choice, Mr. Zhongli provided too much security!
Any attempt to dodge would be a sign of distrust towards Mr. Zhongli.
Now that Makoto has obtained the skill 'Earth Core', it means his life-saving ability has greatly increased.
Not only that, Makoto also noticed a detail.
That is, the 'Earth Core' he drew has a slightly different mechanism from the one in the game.
In the game, the Yu Zhang Shield provided by 'Earth Core''s DMG absorption depends on Zhongli's HP.
This also means that if players want the Yu Zhang Shield to be sturdy enough, they must stack Zhongli's HP like crazy.
However, the 'Earth Core' Makoto drew does not have this HP stacking setting.
Instead, it says that when Makoto uses the Yu Zhang Shield, he can absorb 100% of the DMG and convert the received DMG into HP recovery.
What kind of concept is this?
As long as the Yu Zhang Shield is on him, Makoto can be invulnerable to blades and guns, and impervious to water and fire.
Even if the Heavenly Principles come, as long as it's within the duration of the Yu Zhang Shield, no attack will harm Makoto in the slightest!
Great,
this skill is too great,
Makoto also quickly unlocked the skill 'Earth Core'.
Similarly, Makoto didn't need to do any learning.
A large amount of information flooded into his mind.
That feeling was as if Makoto was born knowing how to use this skill.
It completely became an instinct.
After doing all this, Makoto went to check the extra artifact he had obtained.
Feather Level 28,
HP + 30%
HP + 418
DEF + 15
Energy Recharge + 5.2
Makoto: "????"
What kind of artifact is this?
Does he lack HP?
Is this system messing with him?
Giving him the 'Earth Core' skill that doesn't require HP stacking,
and then giving him a feather that's all HP??
Life is truly unpredictable, like a sausage wrapped in a smaller sausage.
However,
it's not a big problem.
He'll just draw enhancement talismans later and change all the artifact sub-stats then.
He'll make do with it for now.
Having it is better than not having it.
Makoto tearfully equipped the feather that was completely skewed towards HP.
After doing all this, Makoto exited the system interface.
The time that had been paused now resumed flowing.
Ganyu looked at Makoto, then said with confusion, "Mr. Fang Xun, you look a little unwell. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Just a second ago, Makoto was smiling and telling her it was fine, looking very relaxed.
How did he suddenly seem so heavy-hearted?
Makoto was a little confused.
Was his depressed mood that obvious?
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just worried about the city of Liyue."
"Worried?"
Ganyu understood Makoto less and less, blinking her clean, clear eyes, very puzzled.
"Mr. Fang Xun, I think Liyue is peaceful right now. Can you tell me what you are worried about?"
As Liyue's first secretary, Ganyu instinctively cared about Liyue's development.
"Miss Ganyu, during your lunch break, the Millelith found some clues. Please take a look now."
As he spoke, Makoto handed the burnt letter to Ganyu.
Ganyu subconsciously took the letter.
When she saw the phrase 'unseal Osial', Ganyu first froze, then immediately tensed up.
For Ganyu, who had witnessed the God War,
Osial was undoubtedly a symbol of disaster.
If Osial were truly released, Liyue's peace and stability would be shattered!
Ganyu's beautiful eyes looked at Makoto, her expression very complex.
Was Mr. Fang Xun looking troubled
because he was worried about Osial?
Mr. Fang Xun was clearly a foreigner, yet he cared so deeply for Liyue.
This surprised Ganyu greatly,
but even more, she felt admiration.
Mr. Fang Xun is truly a person who values emotions.
Ganyu immediately put away the letter, then looked up and said solemnly, "Mr. Fang Xun, I must immediately report the matter of the Fatui and Osial to the Liyue Seven Stars and the Adepti."
"Let's stop here today. See you, see you next time!"
Originally, Ganyu had a whole host of questions she wanted answers to from Makoto,
but now there was clearly no time to ask them.
Compared to resolving her inner confusion, Ganyu's top priority was to go to the Adepti and the Liyue Seven Stars to explain the situation.
Osial's revival must be stopped!
Ganyu hurriedly bid Makoto farewell, then left Wangshu Inn.
