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

She couldn't quite put her finger on the kind of stable, peaceful life she wanted.

Gan Yu felt that as long as she was with Fang Xun, even if she did nothing, her mood would improve.

The room was quiet, with only the soft rustling of pens on paper.

By the time Fang Xun put down his pen, Gan Yu had already fallen asleep in her chair.

Qiqi, nestled in Gan Yu's lap, remained still, worried about waking Gan Yu.

So she could only remain seated, her large, peach-colored eyes looking at Fang Xun.

Fang Xun understood what Qi Qi meant, and gently pulled Gan Yu's arm to lift Qi Qi down.

Xiao Qiqi is very light; she looks like she could be blown away by the wind if you're not careful.

Fang Xun reached out and gently pinched Qi Qi's nose, saying with a smile, "Qi Qi, you need to eat more so you can grow taller, understand?"

After saying this, Fang Xun paused for a moment.

Because of Qiqi's special constitution, no matter how much she eats, she cannot grow.

Her age and her body were forever frozen in that moment.

We can only hope to draw items through the system's lottery to help Qiqi grow.

After that, Fang Xun gently covered Gan Yu with the blanket.

He glanced at the sky outside the window; it was already beginning to lighten in the gray.

This means the parametric mass change instrument's cooling time has ended.

I can get another Entangled Bond.

As is customary, Fang Xun puts common items such as sweet flowers and sunset yellow into the parametric transducer.

"The host used the Parametric Transformation Instrument to obtain an Entangled Bond and also received the item 'Fishing Line Stabilizer'."

"Using a fishing line stabilizer can improve the success rate of fishing."

Looking at the fishing line stabilizer that had appeared in his backpack, Fang Xun realized that he seemed to still have a fishing rod capable of catching anything.

He hasn't gone fishing in a long time. Once he's crafted Yura's weapon, he'll take the little ones fishing.

I remember last time I went fishing in Liyue, I didn't catch any fish. Instead, I caught three weapons.

I wonder what I'll get fishing for in Mondstadt. I doubt I'll catch Paimon.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fang Xun opened the lottery card pool.

...

I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days, so I've been slowing down my updates. Sorry!

Normal updates should resume tomorrow.

Also, I'd like to mention that the book's revenue has been declining for the past two days, as evidenced by the number of requests for more updates and the number of readers. It's the kind of sharp drop that even asking for gifts probably can't salvage.

So the author has been considering whether or not to start a new book these past few days; will decide later.

Finally, everyone, get some rest early, goodnight.

Chapter 368 Silly Qiqi

Currently, Fang Xun has two intertwined fates.

One was just obtained from the Parametric Transformation Instrument, and the other came from Lisa's increased favorability.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun put two Entangled Fates into the card pool.

In his first draw, under the blue sky and white clouds, Fang Xun obtained the item [Precious Medicine Book].

This medical book is mainly used to treat difficult and complicated skin diseases. The first page of the book contains the treatment method for scaly skin disease.

Fang Xun remembered that many residents of Ke Lai and Sumeru were suffering from the Demon Scale Disease.

Having obtained this medical book means that little Cole can be saved.

It's just unknown whether little Cole was imprisoned by the Fools during this period.

If not, Fang Xun hoped to help Cole before the Fools did.

Regaining his composure, Fang Xun performed a second draw.

At first, a beam of blue light descended from the clouds, then the blue light turned into a deep purple.

Fang Xun obtained the item [Ancient Forging Blueprint - Mondstadt].

This book details the forging methods for all weapons in Mondstadt.

In addition to explaining the forging methods of three-star and four-star weapons, the atlas also records in detail how to forge the five-star weapons 'When the Pine Trees Resound' and 'The Ancient Freedom'.

Although both weapons are five-star level, they do not possess any divine power.

In other words, as long as you have the blueprints and materials, and find a skilled blacksmith, you can forge the weapon.

Now that we have the sword blank and the blueprint, the next step is to find a skilled blacksmith.

When the blacksmith was mentioned, Wagner immediately came to mind, the blacksmith who lived next to the gates of Mondstadt.

Looking across the entire city of Mondstadt, it seems that only Wagner is capable of completing this task.

Exiting the system interface, the paused time resumes its flow.

Fang Xun tiptoed out of the room with Qi Qi without waking the sleeping Gan Yu.

As dawn breaks, in addition to the local residents of Mondstadt, many merchants from other regions have already begun setting up their stalls.

Fang Xun planned to go out to buy breakfast for everyone and also visit Wagner's blacksmith shop.

Qiqi followed obediently behind Fang Xun with her short legs.

She blinked her big eyes and asked timidly, "Fang Xun...where are you going...?"

Fang Xun reached out and ruffled Qi Qi's little hat, chuckling as he said, "Qi Qi, let's go buy breakfast now."

"Everyone will be very happy when they wake up to a steaming hot breakfast."

"Okay... let's go buy breakfast..."

Xiao Qiqi nodded gently.

She could imagine the surprised and delighted expressions on Ningguang and the others' faces when they stepped out of the room and saw breakfast.

Qiqi seemed to suddenly remember something and gently tugged at Fang Xun's sleeve: "Fang Xun... still needs to... buy breakfast for Taro-maru..."

"Taro-maru is hungry too..."

Seeing Qiqi's serious tone, Fang Xun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll buy breakfast for Taro Maru too."

You'd think that Nana was always giving Taro Maru a hard time, but she even remembered Taro Maru's breakfast.

If Nana doesn't bother Taroumaru, it seems like all she remembers is that Taroumaru was hungry...

With the Windflower Festival approaching, merchants from other countries have also come to Mondstadt to do business.

Fang Xun didn't quite like the breakfasts in Mondstadt, so he specifically sought out a restaurant in Liyue.

I bought baskets of steaming hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), as well as steamed dumplings, noodles...

Little Qiqi stared intently at the menu at the restaurant entrance, muttering, "Xiaolongbao...shrimp dumplings..."

The shop owner thought Qiqi was very cute and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Little friend, what kind of breakfast would you like to order?"

Qiqi blinked and answered earnestly, "Hello... I want xiaolongjiao... shrimp buns..."

Fang Xun knew that Qi Qi had mixed things up, so he quickly added, "She meant to say xiaolongbao and shrimp dumplings."

Upon hearing this, Qiqi nodded repeatedly: "I'm sorry... Qiqi remembered wrong... Qiqi wanted to order xiaolongbao and shrimp dumplings..."

"Oh, please wait a moment, our breakfast will be packed up shortly." The shop owner suddenly realized and quickly moved the steamer to help them get the food.

While they were picking up their food, Fang Xun and Qi Qi waited quietly by their side.

Fang Xun had nothing to do, so his attention was all on Qi Qi.

Xiao Qiqi didn't notice Fang Xun's gaze. She squatted by the roadside, intently watching the ants move their food.

Some ants were carrying food several times their own size, struggling and huffing as they climbed.

Qiqi felt that the ants were working very hard, so she would take the initiative to help them by extending her fingers to guide them home.

Although Qiqi couldn't make any facial expressions, Fang Xun could see the smile in her eyes; she must be very happy right now.

Immediately afterwards, a small bird landed on Qiqi's hat.

Qiqi was worried about scaring away the little sparrow, so she remained still and let the little sparrow hop around on her hat until it flew away.

Watching the little magpie fly away, Qiqi would wave goodbye, saying, "Little magpie... come visit Qiqi again sometime..."

What an adorable little girl.

"Qiqi, I forgot to bring my Mora when I went out. Could you lend me 5,000 Mora to pay the bill?"

Actually, Fang Xun didn't forget to bring money; he just wanted to tease the cute little Qi Qi.

"Okay...okay..."

The adorable Qiqi nodded and took out a small, delicate blue and white purse from her pocket.

Qiqi would often help Fang Xun go out to buy things, so she would always carry a small purse with some savings inside.

She opened her small purse, carefully counted the Mora, and handed five thousand Mora to Fang Xun.

After doing all this, Qiqi added worriedly, "Fang Xun... is 5,000 Mora enough?"

"That's enough, thank you Qiqi. Consider this money a loan from me."

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "Qiqi, I just borrowed five thousand Mora from someone."

"Could you give me five thousand Mora? I need to go pay back the money to someone."

"Okay...okay..."

Qi Qi nodded repeatedly, not finding anything amiss.

She repeated her previous actions and counted out another five thousand moras.
