Liyue, Guili Plains.
Makoto provided two million Mora, and then discussed the specific plan for repairing the village with Ningguang.
It was decided that construction would begin tomorrow.
Originally, the villagers wanted to start work tonight.
After all, being homeless was a terrible feeling; the sooner they had a home, the sooner they wouldn't be exposed to the elements.
However, many materials were not available on site, so they decided to rest for the night and recharge their spirits, starting work tomorrow.
"Ding! The 'Spend It All and Get It Back' Talent has been triggered! Two million Mora have been fully returned!"
"Return triggered a five-fold critical hit! A total of ten million Mora has been obtained!"
Just then,
The system's notification sound rang in Makoto's mind.
Immediately after, Makoto saw the amount of Mora in his backpack rapidly increasing.
It seemed his luck tonight was quite good; even the extremely rare five-fold critical hit appeared.
Two million thrown out and immediately ten million returned.
Looking at the entire Teyvat continent,
Where else was there an easier way to make money than this?
This also made Makoto think back to his days of playing games, working hard to do reputation commissions and farming Ley Lines for Mora.
If only he had such a Talent back then, why would he have wasted all that time and effort?
Although he had ten million Mora, Makoto was not satisfied.
Who would ever complain about having too much money?
Even the wealthy Demoiselle Ningguang, twenty years later, found pleasure in making money.
What's more, in a prosperous place like Liyue,
Ten million Mora was simply not enough to spend.
He still needed to earn more money.
Speaking of which,
Liyue also had a spendthrift old-timer,
Who didn't even look at prices, buying whatever he liked,
And then turning around and sending the bill to the Northland Bank or the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Makoto estimated that guy should already be a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor now.
He needed to find an opportunity to get in touch with him.
"Ding! Detected Ningguang's friendship has increased to Level 5!"
Immediately after, the system's voice rang in Makoto's mind again.
After this night of shared hardship, Ningguang's friendship towards Makoto also increased again.
Unknowingly, it had already reached Level 5 Proficiency.
According to the system's introduction, when a female character's friendship reaches Level 10, specific voice lines and actions will be unlocked,
And a full friendship gift package will also be given.
Makoto didn't know what exactly was inside, but the items shouldn't be too bad.
Makoto was also working hard towards that goal.
"friendship level increased! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one intertwined fate, and additionally, two sets of gymnastics uniforms."
Makoto was not surprised by the intertwined fate.
Every time a level increased, an intertwined fate was definitely given.
But what were those extra gymnastics uniforms?
And two sets at that.
Makoto looked at the gymnastics uniforms in his backpack and fell into thought.
Both sets looked quite small.
One set could be given to Ningguang to wear.
But who should the other set be given to?
According to this timeline, many characters hadn't even been born yet, such as Hu Tao and Yu Jin.
However, Keqing was about the same age as Ningguang.
According to this timeline, Keqing should be mining in The Chasm?
Despite being a Demoiselle, she was willfully sneaking out to experience life.
He would find an opportunity to meet her in The Chasm later.
Makoto exited the system interface and looked at Ningguang.
There was nothing much left here; it was about time to go back.
Furthermore, Ningguang's mother was still seriously ill and needed good rest.
"Ningguang, let's go back to Liyue," Makoto gently pinched the little girl's cheek and said softly.
Ningguang would not refuse Makoto's request, her innocent face beaming with a smile: "Okay, Brother Makoto!"
Immediately after, Ningguang took her mother's hand.
The three returned to Liyue.
....
"Mom, look, this is the big house Brother Makoto prepared for us, oh~"
"We live here now~"
"From now on, we won't wake up cold when we sleep, and we won't have to worry about rain leaking into the house!"
Ningguang skipped to the front of the new house and excitedly introduced it to her mother.
Ningguang's mother looked up, examining the exquisite two-story residence, too surprised to speak.
She thought the property Makoto arranged for Ningguang would be relatively ordinary.
After all, Ningguang was just a small secretary, so he shouldn't be too invested.
But now, looking at the beautifully furnished, two-story residence in front of her,
This surprised Ningguang's mother.
"Mr. Fang, thank you so much for taking such good care of my Ningguang."
"I... I really don't know what to say."
Ningguang's mother's eyes welled up, her expression full of gratitude.
She knew that she and Ningguang had always lived in a damp, moldy wooden house.
Now, to be able to live in such a nice residence,
Ningguang's mother truly didn't know how to express her gratitude.
Their family owed Makoto far too much kindness.
Makoto waved his hand indifferently: "Actually, there's no need to be so polite."
"Ningguang is intelligent and adorable, just like a good friend of mine, so I instinctively want to be good to her."
"Besides, she is my secretary now, and I also hope she can work with peace of mind, which is why I arranged this residence."
"No matter what, I still have to thank you, Mr. Fang." Ningguang's mother bowed, expressing her sincere gratitude.
Because she was sick and needed immediate rest, Ningguang's mother quickly went into the bedroom.
She chose the smallest room downstairs.
According to Ningguang's mother, having a place that wasn't exposed to the elements was already very satisfying.
How could she be so impolite as to choose other rooms?
Makoto couldn't argue, so he let Ningguang's mother have her way.
Immediately after, Makoto turned his gaze to Ningguang.
He wondered what the little girl planned to do next.
