Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Thank you all for your generous donations. As a way of repaying you, I will add an extra chapter tomorrow.

I've seen many readers leaving comments asking when the little cuties will grow up.

The original plan was to fast-forward through the story of Shen He.

I've even figured out how to transition twenty years from now. Some readers have already guessed the method, but I haven't given it a thumbs up. Let's keep it a little mysterious, hehe.

Currently, the plot has deviated from my original plan.

It can only be said that it will take some time before he grows up, and Fang Xun will have to go through Inazuma and Mond again.

My idea is that I could occasionally write some side stories about the little guys after they've grown up.

If you'd like to see someone's story, feel free to leave a comment here.

Chapter 152 Waiting for Thirty Minutes

On the route from Liyue to Inazuma,

The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was calm.

Fang Xun was playing games with the group of kids.

The hairpin on Keqing's little head was particularly eye-catching; it was a gift from Fang Xun.

Fang Xun hadn't expected that the moment he gave the hairpin to Xiao Aqing, the little girl would immediately put it on.

It was clear that she really liked the gift Fang Xun had given her, and her smile brightened.

"Ding! Keqing's favorability has increased from level 4 to level 5. Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Entangled Bond."

Just then, the system's voice rang in Fang Xun's mind.

After spending so much time together, Keqing's affection level has reached level five.

Then,

The system notification sounded in Fang Xun's mind once again.

"Seven characters have been detected who currently have a level five affinity rating towards the host."

"The system will be upgraded to version 2.0 in ten minutes."

"After the version update is completed, the host will receive five Entangled Bonds."

"At the same time, the system will unlock new functions, which you are welcome to explore on your own."

Hearing the system voice in his mind, Fang Xun subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

Increasing favorability not only leads to a tangled bond,

Can the version be upgraded after achieving certain results?

This is so ginkgo!

Fang Xun was very curious about what new features the upgraded system would have.

Just then, the system's voice appeared again.

"Please note! During the upgrade process, the host will not experience any discomfort; they will simply enter a half-hour sleep."

"If the host suffers physical damage within this half hour, the upgrade will be interrupted."

"Interrupting the upgrade could very likely damage the system and affect its functionality."

"Please find a relatively safe environment to sleep in within ten minutes to avoid interrupting the upgrade."

The system explained the precautions for upgrading to Fang Xun.

This is somewhat like upgrading a computer's operating system.

If the upgrade process is forcibly interrupted, problems will occur.

Fang Xun could understand this.

The system only emphasizes that it cannot be physically harmed; loud noises from the outside world should not have any effect.

Thinking of this, Fang Xun immediately gathered all the little cuties together, wanting to talk about this matter.

With a call from Fang Xun

The little ones put down what they were holding and ran over to gather with their short legs.

Two pairs of big, watery eyes all looked at Fang Xun, looking quite adorable.

"Brother Fang Xun, we're here!"

"Brother Fang Xun, what's wrong?"

Looking at the adorable little ones gathered around him, Fang Xun said, "Little ones, you can do whatever you want for now. I need to go to my room to take care of some work."

Fang Xun naturally wouldn't mention the system; he only talked about work.

Hearing that Fang Xun had things to do and couldn't play with them, they realized...

The girls were a little disappointed, but they nodded to show they understood.

Ningguang then asked, "Is Brother Fang Xun's work complicated? I'd like to help."

Not only Ningguang, but also Ayaka, Hokuto, Shinhaku, and even Nana all wanted to help.

After all, Fang Xun had been taking care of them all along.

Now, the little girl wants to help Fang Xun in any way she can.

Seeing the care shown by the little ones, Fang Xun felt a warm current rise in his heart.

The little ones were well-behaved and sensible; they're all so obedient and sensible.

Touched, Fang Xun shook his head and said, "Little ones, I appreciate your kindness."

"However, this job is quite special, and I can only do it by myself."

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "If you really want to help, then stand guard at the door for me."

"Huh? There's a gatekeeper at the entrance?"

Fang Xun nodded: "Because this work is quite complicated, if it is interrupted unexpectedly in the middle, then all the efforts will be in vain."

"So I'd like to ask you to help me check this out, to ensure I can work with peace of mind and not be affected, is that okay?"

"As for the time, it will only take thirty minutes."

Fang Xun didn't feel there was any external disturbance.

I just wanted the kids to feel involved, so I arranged this task.

Hearing Fang Xun's words, the little ones nodded repeatedly: "Of course, no problem, Brother Fang Xun~"

"Yes, Brother Fang Xun, go ahead and get back to work. We promise to complete the mission!"

"Fang Xun, go in peace... Qi Qi will protect you..."

Seeing the little ones repeatedly make their promises, Fang Xun smiled and returned to his room.

He lay in bed and started the system upgrade.

In that instant, Fang Xun felt drowsiness wash over him, and his eyes began to droop.

Before long, she fell asleep.

The room fell silent.

At the same time, the system's voice slowly sounded in Fang Xun's mind: "Version upgrade in progress... Current progress 1%"

...

And the adorable little ones outside the room, just as promised, stood guard at the door diligently.

Fang Xun's brother's work is very important.

We must not allow anyone to disturb us.

Ayato Kamisato found it amusing to see all the little girls standing earnestly at the door.

He had just come over to ask what was going on when Ayaka Kamisato gave him a look that told him not to speak, and then chased Ayato away.

Kamisato Ayato: ???

What is this? What is this?

He hadn't even said a word when his sister chased him away.

Time ticked by, and more than half of the thirty minutes had already passed.

Just when the little ones thought the task was about to be completed,

The once clear sky darkened at a visible speed.

The thick, inky black clouds rolled in, accompanied by deafening thunder.

The once calm sea was now turbulent with undercurrents.

The fierce wind howled in everyone's ears.

The deck shook violently the next second, and the guards of the Kamisato family almost lost their footing and fell.

Before anyone could react to what was going on,

A demon slowly rose from the sea not far away.

The monster was as large as an island, a true overlord of the sea.

Its overall color is dark blue, with sharp dragon fins that are particularly eye-catching.

That was Ausel's wife, Báche.

Previously, Fang Xun and Xiao joined forces to seal away Oser.

nowadays,

Ba Che came to seek revenge in place of her husband.
