[Ding! Congratulations to group member Ningguang for becoming an administrator.]
The group members, who were in the middle of reviewing the group's updates, were quickly drawn by this message.
Hu Tao:Wow, Sister Ningguang became an administrator! I'm so jealous… (?)
Ganyu:Don't be envious. Being an administrator is a lot of hard work. If you could stare at the group chat every day, Su Han would probably make you the second administrator.
Hu Tao:I can't do that… hehe, I just think it sounds fun.
Keqing:The mission limit has been raised! We can even team up for four-star and five-star missions. But if we team up, the points are reduced. Is this to encourage us to complete missions alone?
Su Han:Yes. After all, with more people, the difficulty becomes relatively simpler.
Mona:In that case, I'd better work on increasing my personal strength. I'm going to go train. Mr. Zhongli just earned 200,000 points from one mission. That's just shocking.
A three-star mission was only fifty thousand points, but the promotion mission was worth two hundred thousand. Although the difficulty was extremely high, the temptation of the points was just too great.
Zhongli:The promotion mission was not as difficult as it seemed. I merely wished to test the strength of the people of that world. If I'm not mistaken, there were actually other ways to complete that mission, were there not?
This was indeed correct.
Although protecting Ace was difficult, in reality, once Shanks arrived, the war would have come to an end. As long as one coordinated with the Whitebeard Pirates, the mission's difficulty would have dropped significantly.
It's just that Zhongli chose to face them head-on and taunt the entire group, which made it seem so difficult.
Ningguang:It's a pity we were short on time and couldn't acquire any Devil Fruits.
Today's great battle had made her very envious. Whether it was the Ice-Ice Fruit or the Magma-Magma Fruit, Ningguang was very tempted. If she had that kind of Logia Devil Fruit, protecting Liyue would become incredibly simple.
Keqing:I know, right? The Ice-Ice Fruit can freeze the entire sea. It's just too shocking.
It was a pity she had already eaten the Flower-Flower Fruit and couldn't consume another.
Ganyu:By the way, I remember the Points Shop is refreshing today. We've earned so many points; let's go see what we can buy.
Ningguang:Mm, good idea.
Everyone opened the Points Shop and saw that the items inside had become much more abundant. The half-month period was up, and new products were on the shelves.

The dazzling array of products left everyone speechless.
When the group saw the treasures for Level 3 members, they all couldn't help but draw in a cold breath.
Ningguang:So these are the treasures for a Level 2 group? They're too strong! A Soul-Returning Pill, an Azure Dragon fruit, and that Thunder Spirit Orb, which actually has a deity sealed inside!
Ganyu:Th-these otherworldly treasures are this exaggerated?
The Cocogoat was shocked. She had assumed that after the shop refreshed, it would be more of the same. Who knew there would be such terrifying things?
That Azure Dragon fruit—you could transform into a dragon and control three elements just by eating it! Whoever consumed it would ascend to the heavens in a single step.
As for that Soul-Returning Pill, it was even more shocking. It could bring the dead back to life!
Zhongli:I am somewhat looking forward to what a Level 3 group chat will be like.
He was very glad that he had accepted the mission and allowed the group to level up. A Soul-Returning Pill… If I had this, did that mean Guizhong and the others could be resurrected?
However, it seemed that not even a remnant soul was left of his old friends.
But since there was one treasure that could resurrect the dead, it meant that there would definitely be more in the future. It seemed the day he could reunite with his old friends was not far off.
Su Han:That's still a long way off. Look at the experience bar. It'll probably take another twenty missions.
He was very happy that such good treasures could be refreshed, as this would motivate the people in the group to work even harder.
Ningguang:@everyone, if there are any treasures that can increase your strength, let me know. We're splurging today.
Ganyu:I think we should redeem the Dragon-Tiger Great Return Pill recipe. Although top-tier strength needs to be cultivated, a recipe like this should not be overlooked.
Sucrose:Mhm, I was thinking the same thing. After we redeem it, I can help make the potions.
The engineering work had been more relaxed recently, so she had established a medical department in Liyue and was now its manager, specializing in biology. Sucrose had now even forgotten that she had come here to study engineering.
Beidou:Let's redeem that Qi of Tri-Unity. I was thinking, if I use Haki to power a martial art, wouldn't it be very strong? And this one technique is like three, right?
Ningguang:Alright, I'll have Keqing redeem it.
Su Han:If it's possible, can you redeem the Tessusaiga for me? I want that weapon. As for the Hundred-Year Peachwood Sword in my hands, I can give it to Beidou.
He never thought a weapon from InuYasha would appear. But this kind of infinitely upgrading weapon was indeed much stronger than the peachwood sword and the Snow-Drinking Saber.
And he was already planning to break down the Snow-Drinking Saber and re-forge it into a polearm for Shenhe to use. That meant he would be lacking a weapon, and the Tessusaiga was just right.
Ningguang naturally would not refuse Su Han's request, and soon, over two hundred thousand points had been spent.
Keqing:By the way, have you guys looked at the Special Discount Area?
Hu Tao:Let me go and see! I didn't notice just now, there were too many things. It's actually a weapon! Su Han, come and look!
A weapon? Su Han looked at the very bottom of the Points Shop. There was an area glowing with a multi-colored light, with a few words written on it: Special Discount Area.
[Name]: Hyōrinmaru
[Original Price]: 5,000,000 Points
[Discount]: 90% off
[Current Price]: 500,000 Points
[Description]: The strongest ice-type Zanpakutō. Has an extremely wide attack range and can control the weather. If one can master this blade, it can achieve Bankai and transform into an even stronger form.
[Time Remaining]: 6 days, 23 hours
[Hint]: When the countdown ends, the item will automatically be refreshed.
Su Han:It's actually a Zanpakutō! This is a weapon from a world of Soul Reapers. And this price… it's only five hundred thousand!
Mona:Is this sword very powerful?
Keqing:It should be, after all, look at the price.
Su Han:This is a sword that can rival the Ice-Ice Fruit. No matter what your attribute is, this sword can grant you the Cryo element! However, looking at the description, it seems only a Cryo user can achieve its Bankai.
Kaedehara Kazuha:A sword that's on the same level as the Ice-Ice Fruit? Hiss… that's truly terrifying.
Ganyu:Mm, I saw it too. The original price is five million! It's a pity we just spent all our points. Otherwise, we should have redeemed this weapon first.
Ningguang:Don't worry, we still have some points. It will just depend on the subsequent missions. If the mission is four-star, I think we'll have enough. But even if we miss it, it's alright. If this item is gone, there will be other things. Don't get too hung up on it.
Ningguang now had a very open-minded view of the things in the shop. Although treasures were precious, it wasn't as if they would be gone forever if they were missed. Perhaps something even better would come next time.
Su Han:That's true. Maybe the next item will be even better. Let's all continue to work hard.
Concise AnalysisLore Consistency Check:Consistent.Character Motivations: The group's discussion is a perfect reflection of their roles. Ningguang, Ganyu, and Sucrose are focused on "kingdom-building" (recipes, medicine). Beidou and Kazuha are focused on "personal strength" (combat techniques). Keqing's regret over eating the Flower-Flower Fruit now that she sees other items is also a very human and in-character reaction.Zhongli's Motivation: His internal monologue is key. The sight of the Soul-Returning Pill gives him a tangible, personal reason to support the group's growth: the hope of one day resurrecting his lost friends from the Archon War, like Guizhong. This is a powerful and 100% lore-consistent motivation.
