"Exactly, exactly! We have to make him pay!" Paimon stomped her little feet angrily in the air.
"Mhm, the sun is already up. Let's set off quickly."
"Huh?! Paimon hasn't slept enough yet... Ugh~ Fine, fine... (ー△ー)"
"Thank you for your hard work, Paimon. When things calm down, I'll definitely make you lots and lots of delicious food."
"Wow?! Lumine is the best! Paimon will go prepare now!"
"Go on, go on~" Lumine replied as she opened the window and looked in the direction Ying had departed.
"Ying... I'll catch up soon..."
Time skipped forward two days...
"Wow~ I can already see the silhouette of Liyue Harbor!"
"You're walking too fast, Ying..."
"Hm? Are you tired? I don't remember your stamina being that poor, Hu Tao?" Ying asked, confused.
"Aiyyah~ You truly don't understand a girl's heart, Ying. Letting you walk slower is to make our time together last longer, you see~"
"Oh~ No! For the past two days with you, I've been on edge, constantly being scared by you. And the ways you scare me don't even repeat (ᗜ˰ᗜ)"
"Heehee~ Who told you Ying is so easily scared? Xiangling isn't as easy to startle." Hu Tao said, mimicking their scared expressions.
"Hmph... If you want me to walk slower, fine. Just promise you won't scare me anymore."
"Of course!"
"Huh? You agreed just like that? No haggling?"
"Mhm, no need, no need. After all, I just need to change 'scaring' to 'teasing' ๑乛v乛๑"
"Eh
After a while...
"Wuwuwu... My Corrupting Resin sword (╥﹏╥)"
"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Hu Tao lowered her head slightly, wringing her fingers nervously in front of her, saying with deep remorse.
"It's okay... It's my fault for not expecting your weapon to be that strong. I didn't think even infusing it with Anemo wouldn't hold up for more than a few blows (╥﹏╥)"
"But... you don't have a weapon now..."
"Sigh... Don't worry, I have plenty of weapons on me."
"Really?"
"Really, really. Let's go, I need to open more treasure chests to comfort my wounded heart."
"Mhm, I understand. This Hall Master will definitely help you find many treasure chests!"
"Mhm~"
"Oh, kind host. Would you like to draw, or would you like to draw, or would you like to draw?"
(Emm... This river god is too lame. I thought you were going to say Primogems and Stardust.)
"Those things are useless to the host, they can't be used for drawing, you see."
(Mhm... That's not right... This just proves you're useless. Can't you change the setting so Stardust = 50 Primogems and Primogems = 100 Primogems?)
"Ah, this... Host, you think more beautifully than I do."
(Hmph... I don't want to talk to you anymore...)
"Huh?! Host is angry? The system was just joking with you. I'm sorry~ I won't tease the host today, okay~"
(Today...)
"Ahem~ This is the system's limit, okay~"
(Emm... Hmph!)
"Don't be angry anymore. I lost, I lost... How about this! Since the host is still over a hundred Primogems away from a ten-pull, how about the system gives you a discount?"
(Discount?)
"That's right! The host will definitely not lose out!"
(Not losing out is not losing out... but over a hundred is too little, isn't it?)
"Ah, this... I didn't expect the host to bargain..."
(Hmph hmph~ I can improve too. Hurry up, hurry up, what other good news do you have to make me happy?)
"Good news, hm... The host can spend 5000 Primogems to upgrade the system~"
(Er... Isn't this bad news? Spending Primogems on you is too much of a waste.)
"Wow! You saying that makes me very sad, host..."
(Hahaha~ Okay, okay. What benefits will I get after upgrading?)
"I can't reveal it yet, but the system guarantees that upgrading will only bring great benefits to the host, with no drawbacks."
(Mhm hmph... That's good. But I'll talk about upgrading you after I get a gold drop, since the banner is almost at pity anyway.)
"Mhm, mhm, okay, host."
(Let's use the remaining ten pulls now. And I'll borrow 20 years of your lifespan.)
"Ah, this... Can I not borrow it..."
(No.)
"Wuwuwu... Sad.jpg"
Entering the gacha interface again, ten meteors rapidly descended. Ying's eyes immediately caught the mixture of blue, purple, and gold.
(Yay! Finally a gold drop~ But it's basically pity... The excitement has faded so much... Sigh~ I hope it's a one-handed sword (￣д￣;) )
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Serpent Spine x1, Aquila Favonia x1, and Wolf's Gravestone x1 (t^t)"
(Hm? Did I just hear the names of two five-star swords... Did I hear wrong?)
"You didn't hear wrong, host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first double gold drop in your life." (Wu wu wu... This is 20 years of the system's lifespan (t^t)
(It's... real?!) Ying pinched her cheek hard.
"Ouch—It hurts!!"
"Hm? Why are you pinching yourself, Ying?" Hu Tao asked, confused by Ying's strange actions.
"It's real... It's really real!"
"Hm? What's real... Woah?!" As Hu Tao patted Ying's shoulder, about to ask why she was suddenly so happy, Ying hugged her head and forced her to bend over.
And because Ying was jumping up and down with joy, Hu Tao's face was pressed tightly against Ying's two "little rabbits" and was being washed back and forth...
"It's real! This is the first good luck I've had since I came here!"
"Wu wu wu... I can't breathe..."
"Huh? Waaah?! Are you okay?! Sorry, sorry!!" Ying, after being excited for a while, finally noticed Hu Tao's face was in close contact with hers. Startled, she quickly let go and checked on Hu Tao's condition.
