I'm a male god in Liyue

Price: 30 points.

Xia Zhi glanced at the item next to it. That item was also a [Divination Staff], but its quality had changed to Platinum, its type had changed from "one-time use item" to "permanent item", and its price had also changed to 3000 points.

Experiencing platinum items for one percent of the price is acceptable.

Xia Zhi decided to buy it, and an exquisite wooden cane appeared in his hand, feeling very comfortable to the touch.

Hold the cane upright in front of you, then release your grip. The cane wobbles and eventually falls in one direction.

Five seconds later, the cane on the ground mysteriously disappeared.

Xia Zhi raised her head and then silently walked in that direction.

The situation is unclear, and I'm half blind. Even though I have [Radiant Wings], it's best not to fly into the sky for now.

Throughout the journey, he maintained a "God's-eye view," carefully observing the situation within a 20-meter radius of himself.

The terrain doesn't change much; it's mostly flat.

You can often see small animals, like rabbits and birds, eating fruit by the roadside, but they don't have progress bars on them, probably because their rank is too low to meet the requirements.

When he was tired or thirsty, Xia Zhi would stop and pick a few fruits that he had seen birds and animals eating from the roadside.

It tastes somewhat sour and astringent, and isn't very tasty, but it's unlikely to be poisonous.

As dusk settled, the crimson glow of the sunset painted the grass and trees, creating a dreamlike scene.

Xia Zhi stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at the horizon with his dull, gray eyes.

Even though his field of vision was limited to a small area, he could still glimpse how beautiful the world was at that moment.

"I really want to open my eyes and take a good look."

Xia Zhi muttered to himself. After a moment, he snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and gave a carefree smile.

"Being able to live a second life is already an immense stroke of luck. As for my eyes, there will always be a way to restore them in the future."

Continue walking forward.

The sky grew darker, and the wind began to blow a bit cold.

Although he has the system's God-like perspective for reconnaissance, allowing him to move freely in the dark even at night, it might be more dangerous at night than during the day, so it would be best to find a place to stop and rest properly.

There happened to be a thick, sturdy tree in front of them, and Xia Zhi walked towards it, intending to spend the night in the tree.

The night grew deeper.

Xia Zhi closed his eyes, leaning against the tree trunk, maintaining a state of alertness in a light sleep.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious mournful cry reached my ears.

It sounds like the painful cry of some kind of injured bird.

Xia Zhi woke up from a light sleep and immediately checked his surroundings, finding no danger.

But we can't let our guard down, as danger may be 20 meters away.

The mournful cries came again.

It seemed to be a cry for help.

Xia Zhi carefully examined the sound and discovered that it came from the same direction indicated by the lucky cane.

He leaned against the tree trunk, remained silent for a long time, and finally climbed down from the tree. With one hand holding the Holy Light Judgment and the other holding the Spatial Transfer, he slowly walked in that direction.

After walking more than a hundred meters, Xia Zhi saw a large crater in front of him, which looked like it had been made by a meteorite.

In the very center of the pit lay a beautiful crane covered in wounds.

Chapter Three: What is a High-Level Hunter?

Its white body has a graceful curve, with light blue wings draped diagonally at its side, and strange golden veins encircling its long, slender neck. The black crest on its head stands proudly, with a wisp of auspicious cloud symbol faintly visible.

Despite being covered in dust and bloodstains, the crane still retains its ethereal beauty.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, she raised her neck with some difficulty and looked in the direction of the person.

Hopefully, what's coming isn't... huh?

It's actually a teenager?

In this desolate wilderness...

But he seemed like a good person...

Why did he stop?

Xia Zhi stood at the edge of the pit, looking at the crane in the pit with his gray, lifeless eyes. In his eyes, the crane had a golden progress bar hanging on its body.

Progress: [0%]

This was the first being he had encountered in this world who could perform a casting process.

Moreover, its status must be quite high, otherwise it wouldn't have displayed a golden progress bar.

It should have intelligence.

Using the system's detection skills, Xia Zhi carefully observed the entire body of the injured crane from a god-like perspective.

The feathers are beautiful.

It's a female crane.

And, it's impossible to tell the depth.

However, judging from its current listless and weak state, even if it once had some skills, it probably can't use them at all now.

But it's better to be more conservative.

What if it's fake?

The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is.

In the middle of nowhere, a crane that looks so easy to catch suddenly appears. It might just be a demon in disguise, trying to lure people closer before killing them.

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, and seeing the crane's bewildered expression, raised his hand and released a beam of light towards her.

First-tier Light Spell: [Detect Evil].

This spell has no lethal power, but it will display different colors of blood depending on the sins committed by the target.

The more heinous the creature, the more intense and dazzling the bloodlust.

The light fell on the crane, and then a dazzling golden light shone forth.

Gold is the color of merit.

Such bright light... one wonders how many good deeds this crane must have done.

Such a magical beast... I was worrying too much.

Xia Zhi bent down and slowly slid down the edge of the pit to the crane.

He didn't approach rashly, but kept a seemingly safe distance. The crane's beak looked very hard, and he was afraid of being pecked.

Xia Zhi looked at the somewhat wary creature and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

The crane was clearly startled when it heard him speak, and a look of bewilderment appeared in its glassy eyes.

"You probably don't understand, right? It's okay, I'm here to help you."

Xia Zhi stood still, a soft white light emanating from his hand.

First-tier Light-based spell: [Healing Spell].

"Don't be afraid."

Xia Zhi slowly moved her feet and reached out her hand towards it.

Perhaps it sensed the rich life energy within the white light in his hand, or perhaps the hidden effect of [Radiant Wings], "The initial affinity of Sky-Soaring Species is friendly," also took effect.

The crane lowered its head slightly towards him, its posture becoming more relaxed.

Touched it!

It feels slightly cool to the touch, with strong shafts and fine barbs that are soft yet elastic, giving the feeling of touching a high-quality fabric.

The healing technique, originating from Xia Zhi's palm, slowly seeped into the crane's body through the feathers, beginning to heal its severe injuries.

The crane lowered its neck, half-closed its eyes, and couldn't help but let out a cheerful chirp from its beak.

It sounds like it must feel pretty comfortable.

Xia Zhi glanced at it, then continued stroking its feathers, silently treating it.

In his eyes, because he was interacting with it through physical contact, the golden progress bar on its body was slowly moving.

Progress: 5%.

Progress: 10%.
