Original God: I can earn experience points

Li Qiuzhi came here not only to kill his free time while waiting for Amber, but also because he suddenly thought that there might be some methods of learning combat skills in the library?

If he could really find it, it would greatly facilitate Li Qiuzhi to acquire different skills.

Not everyone is willing to teach others archery like Duraf, so it is important to have a channel to learn skills from books.

Even though learning might be slow without anyone to teach him, Li Qiuzhi didn't rely on talent. As long as he could successfully get started according to the standards in the book, and once the skills appeared on the character panel, he could use experience points to improve them.

Whether you have talent or not is not the problem.

Li Qiuzhi searched the bookshelves one by one. Each shelf was labeled with the type of books, so it didn't seem troublesome.

It has to be said that this is worthy of being the largest library in Mondstadt. It has basically all kinds of books. The combat skills that Li Qiuzhi wanted were also found on a wooden bookshelf against the wall on the left side of the first floor.

The entire bookshelf is filled with training methods for combat skills and the experiences and feelings summarized by predecessors.

Li Qiuzhi randomly picked up a book with great anticipation. On the cover was written "Fundamentals of West Wind Swordsmanship" in large letters. It was concise and easy to understand. He knew what the book taught at a glance.

It should be the basic part of West Wind Swordsmanship, which is what Li Qiuzhi needs. The only skill he knows now is the hunter archery taught by Duraf, and it is just the entry level. It is necessary to learn some close combat skills.

However, he did not take the book in a hurry, but put it back temporarily and looked at other books.

"Fundamentals of West Wind Archery", "General Combat Breathing Rhythm Essentials", "Skills for Dealing with Large-bodied Hillock People", "Rhine One-handed Sword Skills", "Basic Methods for Using Long-handled Weapons".

I looked at many books, some of which taught how to use weapons and some taught how to deal with specific monsters.

But they all seem to be quite ordinary. Well, how should I put it, there are no particularly powerful skills involving extraordinary powers.

This made Li Qiuzhi a little depressed.

Of course, he didn't have too high expectations. In the continent of Teyvat, elemental power is the most common supernatural power. If humans want to use it, they need an external magic organ, the "Eye of God".

If there is no such thing as the "Eye of God" that can guide the power of elements, ordinary people who rashly come into contact with the elements will most likely be corroded, causing minor illnesses at best and life-threatening conditions at worst.

Therefore, even if the Knights have information on how to use elemental power, they will not easily put those things on the bookshelf, for fear that some curious ordinary people will take them and ruin themselves.

After thinking it through, Li Qiuzhi simply took the book "Basics of West Wind Swordsmanship" from the bookshelf and put it on the desk beside him to start reading.

The librarian was off work, otherwise I could have borrowed a few books to study and practice at the same time, but such rude and disrespectful things were not allowed in the library.

While reading the book, Li Qiuzhi learned that "The Basics of Favonius Swordsmanship" was a book on basic swordsmanship compiled by the Knights of Favonius. In addition to the one-handed sword, it also contained training methods for the two-handed sword.

This is what the Knights of Favonius learned as well, there is no difference, and it is explained in detail in the book without any nonsense.

There are also some learning experiences of the predecessors of the Knights of Favonius printed on it, which can help Li Qiuzhi avoid many detours and get started faster.

Li Qiuzhi didn't expect to find an unexpected gain in the library when he came to pay Amber back.

It seems that Amber is really his lucky angel. He must find an opportunity to thank her.

Chapter 10: Amber's Treasure: Fried Carrots with Honey Sauce

The library is brightly lit and quiet.

Amber was stopped by Mr. Virag as soon as she came out of Captain Qin's office. She heard that a young man from Liyue was looking for her and was waiting in the library.

Knowing who it was, Amber walked into the library with her legs in over-the-knee white boots.

Looking around the second floor, I didn't see anyone.

The rabbit ears on her head swayed, and the soles of her mid-heeled boots seemed to strike out pleasant notes when they touched the ground. She walked down the wooden stairs and saw Li Qiuzhi in a corner.

He seemed to be concentrating on reading at this moment and did not notice Amber's approach.

Amber raised the corners of her mouth and smiled silently and cunningly, using the cover of the bookshelf to quietly go behind the young man.

He stretched out his right hand, just about to scare him.

Li Qiuzhi was so absorbed in reading that he had almost forgotten the original purpose of coming to the Knights. At this moment, a sweet fragrance wafted into his nose, interrupting his reading state.

Li Qiuzhi was not unfamiliar with this scent, it seemed to be the scent of Amber.

Is she coming?

Thinking of this, Li Qiuzhi turned his head naturally, and suddenly a white hand poked his cheek.

Soft and slightly warm.

"Uh." Amber was stunned for a moment and then took her hand back. She smiled awkwardly behind her back and said, "I wanted to pat your shoulder to scare you, but I didn't expect you to turn around."

Li Qiuzhi certainly didn't care, but still joked:

"It's okay. This is the first time I see the lively and enthusiastic Miss Amber so... um... so embarrassed, haha."

“Hey, you!

"Forget it. I heard from Mr. Virag outside that you were looking for me. What's the matter?"

The two had known each other for a month and were quite familiar with each other. It was just a joke, and Amber quickly got rid of the awkwardness on her face and got to the point.

"Oh, by the way, didn't I borrow your Mora? Now I'm returning it to you."

Li Qiuzhi took out a cloth bag with a rope from his waist, which contained Moras of different denominations, a total of exactly 35,000 Moras.

After all, he didn't have any gaming backpack to store the items in, so he could only put them in a cloth bag like ordinary people.

"Eh? No need." Amber was a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Qiuzhi to come to pay back the money. At that time, she said it was a loan, but in fact, she thought in her heart that she didn't have to pay it back. "You still need Mora in your life now, so keep it for now."

"That won't do. I am now a hunter with a source of income, and I cannot allow myself to not pay back the Mora I owe you."

Li Qiuzhi grabbed Amber's wrist and forcefully stuffed Mora into her hand.

".Well, okay." Amber smiled and did not refuse.

[Amber has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 50 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.2 (10/200)]

A prompt sound appeared in Li Qiuzhi's mind. Amber's favorability towards him increased again. At Lv. 2, it should be considered a relatively familiar relationship.

Before this, we had just met in the Whispering Forest, and our impression of each other had increased a few times over the course of a month through our occasional encounters.

Now, because of Li Qiuzhi's persistence in his principles, Amber once again appreciates him and improves his favorability towards him.

After a long period of exploration, Li Qiuzhi also figured out the mechanism for gaining favorability.

From a general personal psychology perspective, a person's favorable impression of another stranger comes from the first impression.

Just as Li Qiuzhi met Amber, he was not an unforgivable bad guy. It was normal for the enthusiastic Amber to have a good impression of him and develop some affection for him when she found him and needed help.

After getting to know each other, if it is not a one-time encounter but you can meet occasionally or frequently, then the two people will naturally become familiar with each other without having to do anything. As the mutual understanding deepens, the goodwill will naturally increase.

Of course, the premise is that Li Qiuzhi does not do anything that Amber hates in this natural process.

Li Qiuzhi guessed that Amber was still in the stage of getting to know him. As time went by and they had more contact, he didn't need to do anything deliberately, and Amber would sooner or later regard him as a friend.

But, this is where it ends. If you want to get the blessing of her constellation, you need more than just friends.

Li Qiuzhi needs to actively look for opportunities to interact with Amber. With time, the quality of their relationship will sooner or later evolve.

As an ordinary person, he just needs to get along with others in a normal way. He cannot act too anxious, otherwise Amber will dislike him and all his efforts will be wasted.

Amber put away Mora, noticed the book on the table and asked curiously:

"Do you want to learn the art of Zephyr Sword?"

"Yes. If you want to travel the continent of Teyvat and become a powerful adventurer, you can't just know a little bit of archery."

Li Qiuzhi happily talked about his future development direction.

"That's a good idea." Amber nodded and sat down on a chair beside her. "It's a pity that I'm not very good at swordsmanship, otherwise I could teach you... Well, there is a training ground behind the Knights, with all kinds of equipment. You can go there to practice swordsmanship."

"Okay, I'm also worried about having no place to practice."

Li Qiuzhi was very familiar with the training ground behind the Knights. It was the place where a little girl named Irene often asked travelers how to knock down several wooden stakes in a short time.

"By the way, to thank Ms. Amber for helping me, I would like to invite you to have dinner at the Deer Hunter restaurant. You probably haven't had dinner yet at this time."

Li Qiuzhi looked at Amber with sincere eyes and said.

This invitation was reasonable. After all, Amber had really helped him a lot. There was nothing wrong with inviting him to dinner. Moreover, treating someone to dinner was a rare opportunity to improve their favorability and should not be missed.

"It is the duty of the Knights of Favonius to provide assistance to those in need. How can I ask for anything in return? Just treat me to a meal."

Amber shook her head in denial.

"Actually, I have something else I want to ask you for help with, and I've heard that the fried carrots with honey sauce at the Deer Hunter are delicious. How about we talk about it while we're having dinner?"

Li Qiuzhi used the treasure against Amber "without leaving a trace".

"Honey-sauce carrot fried meat!" Amber's fair neck moved slightly, her eyes brightened, and then she said calmly, "Since you need my help, there is no other way. Let's go now."

[Amber has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 50 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.2 (60/200)]

"Well, I'll put the book back first."

Li Qiuzhi smiled and put the book "Fundamentals of West Wind Swordsmanship" which could not be registered for borrowing temporarily back to its original place on the bookshelf.

As expected, eating and giving gifts are all techniques to increase favorability. Now that it’s almost reached Lv.3, we should be considered friends. After all, the feeling I give people now is quite familiar.

When I arrived at the Knights' Order, the sun was still setting. When I left, the sky was dark and night had already fallen.

Collect it, read it and support the author!

Chapter 11 Adventurer

Mondstadt, Deer Hunter Restaurant.

Li Qiuzhi and Amber sat opposite each other on a wooden table near the street. Sarah, the waitress of the Deer Hunter, served two servings of fried meat with honey-glazed carrots:

"There are two more servings of Bolognese noodles. Please wait."

Since it was dinner time, there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant and it seemed very lively.

Amber picked up the shiny silver knife and fork, cut a small piece from the large piece of meat on the plate and put it into her mouth. The sweetness of carrots and honey sauce blended perfectly with the meat, leaving a full, fresh and smooth taste.

"Didn't you say you needed my help with something? What was it?" Amber asked with her eyes narrowed in enjoyment.

[Amber has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 10 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.2 (70/200)]

Seeing that Amber's favor towards him had increased again, Li Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Amber was quite happy. It turned out that he had made the right decision to come here.

Li Qiuzhi also answered while cutting the fried meat:

"I have become a hunter now. It is not appropriate for me to continue living in the rescue center of the Knights of Favonius, so I plan to move out, and I want to ask for your advice."

He still had more than 300,000 Mora. Even though it was not much, it was enough to live in a more comfortable environment.

"Is it that simple?" Amber said, "I thought there was something more important."

Li Qiuzhi actually mainly wanted to tell her. After all, he couldn't move out of the rescue point of the Knights of Favonius without telling the people who helped him. Also, he wanted to find opportunities to have more contact with her so that Amber would like him better.

But now that I think about it, there are indeed other things I can ask Amber for, so Li Qiuzhi said:

"Miss Amber, when are you free? Can I ask you for advice on archery?"

Li Qiuzhi remembered that when the skills in his character panel were upgraded to Lv.10, they would gain a characteristic, and could also be combined with other skills of the same type and Lv.10 to become a more powerful skill.

If he could learn Amber's archery and combine it with his current hunter shooting skills, he would definitely become stronger.

Moreover, without the "Eye of God", the way for him to become stronger is not only to increase his level, but also to have skills which is also a very important part.

"Just call me Amber." Amber took a bite of the fried carrot meat with honey sauce and thought for a moment, "Well, I can teach you. As a scout knight, I usually have to patrol outside. I can teach you when the mission is not heavy."

"Um, thank you, uh Amber."

Li Qiuzhi nodded.

There is indeed no rush to learn, mainly because I don't have enough experience points. I will go to Catherine to register as an adventurer later, and then I will accept the commission to fight monsters tomorrow.

"As for you wanting to move out of the shelter, that's easy." Amber said with a smile on her fair face, "I have a very good friend whose family has many idle houses in Mondstadt that can't be rented out due to some reasons. If you need it, I think she would be happy to rent it to you at a low price."

Amber's best friend, could it be Eula? Li Qiuzhi thought to himself.

Like Amber, Eula is a member of the Knights of Favonius. Surprisingly, Eula's family is the old aristocratic Lawrence family, which is despised by everyone in Mondstadt.

Because in Mond's past history, the Lawrence family was an old noble family that oppressed the people and is now not welcomed by most people.

Just as Eula always said that she was the descendant of sinners, her joining the Knights of Favonius was considered incredible both in the Lawrence family and in the eyes of the people of Mond.

Although Eula appears to be indifferent in the face of all kinds of doubts, she is probably lonely and painful in her heart. The appearance of little angel Amber seems to be her rare salvation.

Of course, he said "enemy".

It is normal that some of the real estate owned by the Lawrence family, an old noble family with such a bad reputation among the people of Mond, cannot be rented out and remains idle.

As for these, Li Qiuzhi didn't mind. Instead, he was looking forward to the opportunity to meet Youla.
