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

Although the little girl is still young, she has already shown remarkable business acumen.

They know how to attract customers to buy more products.

Seeing how thin and frail Ningguang was, carrying the heavy Star Conch all day, it must have been incredibly difficult for her.

Fang Xun decided to reduce her stress.

“Little girl, I want all of these star conch shells.”

Fang Xun now has 100,000 Mora given by the system, which is more than enough to buy these Star Shells.

For him, this deal was just a drop in the ocean, insignificant and meaningless.

But for Ningguang, it can relieve the pressure on the whole family.

Sure enough, when Ningguang heard Fang Xun's words, her big, watery eyes became exceptionally bright.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

Ningguang initially thought Fang Xun only wanted one or two star conches.

I never expected him to be willing to buy all of these star shells!

This was an unexpected surprise for Ningguang.

While happy, Ningguang was also somewhat worried.

She was worried that Fang Xun was teasing her, and she was afraid that he wouldn't buy anything at all.

This has happened before.

Some merchants said they had bought up all the Conch Shells of Glowing Light.

After Ningguang painstakingly sorted them...

The merchant then said he didn't want a single star conch.

He was even proud of himself for successfully tricking the little girl.

From then on, Ningguang hated deception the most.

Fang Xun nodded and said seriously, "Of course it's true. I never lie, and I would never lie to an innocent little girl like you."

Xiao Ningguang's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a surge of emotion.

She felt that Fang Xun in front of her was truly different from those cold and ruthless adults.

"There are fifteen star shells here in total. Just give me four thousand Mora."

These star shells, even with the discounted packages, would normally sell for 5,000 Mora.

However, Xiao Ningguang thought Fang Xunren was a good person, so she decided to sell it to him at a discount.

Chapter 3: Obtaining the Entangled Bond, First Card Draw Yields a Top-Tier Item

What can you do with 4,000 Mora?

In the game, buying a serving of Mora meat at the restaurant costs 430 Mora.

A serving of the famous local specialty dish, "Zhongyuan Zasui," costs 6,600 Mora.

Even in Liyue twenty years ago, prices wouldn't have changed much.

In other words, 4,000 Mora isn't even enough to buy a decent meal in Liyue.

But for a poor family like Ningguang's, four thousand Mora was several days' worth of living expenses, enough to feed the family.

"Thank you, big brother!" Ningguang smiled sweetly after receiving Mora, her eyes crinkling with a radiant smile.

This was the first time she had ever received so much Mora, so she carefully tucked the money bag into her bosom and hugged it tightly, afraid of dropping it or having it snatched away.

Xiao Ningguang didn't know how to express her joy and gratitude to Fang Xun.

She thought for a long time, and finally bowed deeply to Fang Xun to express her gratitude.

In Xiao Ningguang's eyes, Fang Xun had truly helped her a great deal.

"Big brother, my name is Ningguang. What's your name?"

Ningguang then realized that despite talking with Fang Xun for so long, she still didn't know Fang Xun's name.

She found Fang Xun's attire rather unusual, and since she had never seen him in Liyue before, she assumed he was a stranger.

"Little Ningguang, my name is Fang Xun."

"If you encounter any problems, you can come to me."

Fang Xun paused, afraid that what he said might be too abrupt and startle Ningguang.

So he added, "You look a lot like an old friend of mine."

"When I see you, I can't help but think of her."

“She had a similar experience to you when she was a child, so I wanted to help her as much as possible.”

Little Ningguang blinked her big eyes; being so young, she didn't quite understand the meaning of Fang Xun's words.

She could only tell that Fang Xun wanted to help her.

Xiao Ningguang silently memorized Fang Xun's name.

Then she nodded vigorously: "Okay, I got it."

"Then, Brother Fang Xun, I'll head back now!"

As the sun completely set, Ningguang realized it was time to go back, so she waved goodbye to Fang Xun.

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

"Ding! An increase in Ningguang's favorability towards the host has been detected!"

Fang Xun's heart stirred, a bitter feeling welling up inside him.

He gained Ningguang's favor simply by helping her a little.

This also shows how difficult Ningguang's life was before.

In the endless darkness, even the faintest glimmer of light can shine brilliantly.

Fang Xun decided to continue helping Ning Guang.

It's not just about improving his image so he can be kept by a rich woman and avoid working hard for years...

Most importantly, he felt that Ningguang and he had a lot in common.

This little girl is tenacious and has an indomitable spirit.

Those who believe in miracles are themselves as remarkable as miracles.

At this moment, the system's voice continued to ring in my mind.

"Ningguang's affinity has increased from 0 to level 1. Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1 Entangled Bond. You have also received a bonus: a five-star artifact, Gladiator's Nostalgia."

Fang Xun was not surprised to have encountered such an entangled fate.

After all, the system had previously explained that increasing the goddess's favorability would grant the chance to meet her.

However, Fang Xun hadn't expected to receive an extra reward.

It's important to know that artifacts are a key feature of this game.

After maxing out a character's level, skills, and talents, the only way to improve their overall strength is through artifacts.

A good artifact can increase a character's potential.

Fang Xun opened his backpack and checked the attributes of the artifacts.

He had thought he would need to collect dog food and Mora to gradually strengthen this artifact.

However, I didn't expect that the artifact I got was already at the maximum level.

Moreover, the artifacts given by the system are at a maximum level of 28!

This means there's even more room for improvement!

Fang Xun couldn't wait to check the artifact's attribute bar, hoping for more attributes like double critical hit rate and critical strike chance.

However, after seeing the attribute descriptions of the artifacts, I was completely dumbfounded.

Defense power +35%

Defense +39

Critical damage +7.8%

Critical Hit Chance +3.2%

Fang Xun: "???"

This relic of yours...

Why isn't it being strengthened?

He really is a gladiator who's afraid of death!

All the attribute entries are misplaced and focus on defensive attributes!

What's wrong?

Is this telling me to build up my defenses?

So you're the absolute top-tier player, right?

Fang Xun was speechless for a moment.

I couldn't help but recall the scene where all my artifact enhancement attempts went wrong, and I felt a pang of heartache.

At that moment, Fang Xun turned his attention to the entangled fate.

Since I got the wrong artifacts, I might as well try my luck with gacha pulls.

When Fang Xun used to play games, he often had to pull for artifacts after getting the wrong ones.

This is also a kind of metaphysics.

Who knows, the luck for enhancing artifacts might just be on your gacha pulls?
