"Quick, move! Move!"
In the rarely visited Kokuchuu, the Damselette pressed the Alien creatures Oceanid beneath him.
"No, I can't. I don't have a single drop of water left." The Oceanid beneath him spoke in an ethereal, soft Damselette's voice, tinged with exhaustion.
"Aren't you all water? How can you not have any? Quick, spray some more water on me." The dissatisfied Damselette patted its water-made body.
Oceanid, Damselette's soft gasp: "Mmm, you've already asked for too much~! Let me rest a bit... Afterwards, I'll satisfy you no matter how much you want."
"Alright, I guess I'm too persistent," the Damselette said, finally releasing the Oceanid.
Rhodeia, seeing that she was finally free, quickly flew up and leaped into the water, only a small part of her head visible, her flat, round eye blinking at Alex.
Looking at the harvest in his backpack, Alex showed a satisfied expression.
After he had first encountered Rhodeia's true form and finished talking, they had actually stopped fighting. Rhodeia said she didn't want to fight him anymore.
But what about his BOSS drop, the Heart of the Spring? Cleansing Heart was a minor issue; he could just go farm other things.
He hadn't expected it; he had only mentioned the Heart of the Spring to Rhodeia, and the next moment, she had autonomously condensed a true Heart of the Spring in front of her chest.
Alex took it, finding that it wasn't what was needed for ascend. It was described as follows:
Five-star Important Item: Perfect Heart of the Spring. It is an eternally clear scoop of water, voluntarily condensed by a powerful Oceanid. Even if placed in a lake, its purity will not be diluted.
Alex silently put it away. He still needed to farm for Hearts of the Spring that could drop from Ley Line Outcrops that he could clear.
And so, the previous conversation happened. That is, Alex had the Oceanid continuously summon, one wave, then two waves at a time.
After farming three times, only in Alex's vision did a Ley Line Outcrops appear in the center of the field. After going through the process again, the Ley Line Outcrops still appeared.
It really worked! Since that's the case... Alex wanted to farm a hundred or a thousand of them while he could.
Moreover, farming Rhodeia of Loch has a chance to drop Endora (laughs).
Unexpectedly, Alex, relying on this bug-like method, had only farmed about fifty, and Rhodeia beneath him said she couldn't continue.
Speaking of Endora, he could totally snatch him from the Traveler.
After all, the Traveler already had Paimon... and Endora didn't appear in the story later anyway, just becoming an out-of-print little pet for players to admire.
"Oh, right! Has Endora appeared?" Alex suddenly asked.
"Endora? I don't know, very few people come here."
"Alright," Alex nodded. It would probably take a long time then; he needed to remember.
Even if he didn't remember by then, as long as he paid more attention to the Traveler, if she did this event, he could just follow along and ask for him.
I love little pet summon beasts the most.
By then, he would have a row of them behind him, a bunch of babies following, contributing to DMG.
The more Alex thought about it, the more excited he became. He could totally do this.
At this moment, Alex looked at the heavy armor bunny puppet floating beside him, a slight smile on his face.
Since he could draw puppets from Honkai Impact 3rd, then all future puppets could be drawn!
This puppet didn't say only one could be deployed, and puppets also counted as extra summons!
Invincible, isn't this invincible?
Wow, isn't this the real-life Isaac and Neon Abyss!
At this moment, the flowers were bought, the Cleansing Heart were plentiful, and many Hearts of the Spring had been farmed.
It was just this unique Whopperflower Nectar... he was still short by over thirty!
Oh my god, Alex was directly suffocated. He hadn't expected that the common monster drop material would be what held him back in the end.
Enough talk, I'm going to farm!
Hmm, he wasn't familiar with the distribution of Whopperflowers in Mondstadt, but he was more than familiar with those in Liyue and Inazuma; he used to farm them daily.
Centered around Wangsheng Inn, the banks of the Jueyun Karst region to the west have a very dense concentration of Whopperflowers! To the south is Guili Plains, along the coastline. Yaoguang Shoal and Guyun Stone Forest also have a few.
Anyway, there are quite a lot; farming the entire map should be enough for the materials!
Whopperflowers like these that stay in place are easy to find!
The most difficult material to get belongs to Abyss Mage! These conscious, autonomous beings are hard to keep at fixed locations.
He would also look for them when he had a moment. See if they were at those few locations.
If they were, he would definitely catch and kill them, farming the materials in advance. What if he needed their materials again in the future?
"Goodbye, Rhodeia~ It was nice talking to you." This was really good; this BOSS could talk to him.
He had thought it would just turn into a talkative repeater, mercilessly making him farm repeatedly.
"Oh, right! I have lemonade here for you to drink." As he spoke, Alex had already prepared a cup.
"For me?" The Oceanid looked puzzled. This guy, didn't he know that Oceanids don't need to eat or drink?
..."One, two, three! Wonderful~~~" Walking along the northeast bank of Jueyun Karst, Alex was in a great mood. This entire path was full of Whopperflowers.
It felt like the output was much higher than in the game. Liyue was really good; it truly was a land of abundant resources.
He had only just started farming, and Alex's own ascend materials were already gathered.
He immediately performed an ascend, ignoring everything else, and then directly used the Adventurer's experience. In the end, Alex's level had only just reached 46.
Huh? He still hadn't farmed enough experience. The crucial thing was that he was in a hurry; what good was it to only give blue books and not purple ones!
Then Alex looked at the rest.
First, after ascending to level 40, he was given another skill, a passive one.
Crimson Bloom Mark: When the character uses a Charged Attack, an additional mark, Crimson Bloom Mark, is applied to hit enemies.
When an ally in the party attacks an enemy with Crimson Bloom Mark, an additional 20% DMG is dealt.
Alex nodded. This skill was good, but a Charged Attack???
Him doing a Charged Attack? I didn't see it. I only remembered at the beginning, he directly used Normal Attack: Bang Bang Invincible Punch. Where was the option for a Charged Attack? How to do it?
Alex quickly went to look at his skills.
He found that his Normal Attack skill, which he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, had changed.
Normal Attack Skill: Confident Strike! (Skill effects can change with weapon changes.)
When performing a Normal Attack, continuously swing the equipped weapon to deal physical DMG.
Current Normal Attack: Swings a Sword and fires a normal arrow with one hand.
When performing a Charged Attack, consumes Stamina to deal a large amount of** physical DMG**.
Current Charged Attack: Fires a Sword with the right hand while drawing a bow with the left hand.)
Uh, alright, it seems he did have a Charged Attack after all.
And it was because he hadn't chosen a weapon, or rather, he could use any weapon, so the Normal Attack skill could change.
But looking at this description, it felt a bit weak. The Sword + bow combination wasn't fun.
The Sword I shot out with a Charged Attack, it didn't say how I would get it back. Does it automatically have the 'Loyalty' enchantment?
It didn't say that either? So, he still had to experiment himself.
The things drawn on this phone, and the interface, always had some unclear parts that he needed to try out himself.
