"Let's organize today's gains first."
After calming herself down, Ganyu returned to the Yuehai Pavilion.
Looking at the desk full of handwritten notes, she began sorting them out.
She needed to digest everything she had learned today as quickly as possible!
That's right—as long as she immersed herself in work, the night would pass very quickly.
Meanwhile, Bai Ge, who had already bolted far away in one breath, was still feeling lingering fear.
"Terrifying… absolutely terrifying. Madam Yin Susu truly did not lie to me."
The prettier the woman, the better she is at 'lying'!
Today, Bai Ge had almost been completely "deceived" by Ganyu.
"I think… I need to calm down."
Bai Ge opened his system interface.
Perfect timing—today happened to be a weekly sign-in.
Yesterday had been a monthly sign-in, today a weekly one.
There was no conflict at all—after all, aside from daily sign-ins, weekly, monthly, and yearly sign-ins were calculated separately.
"System, perform a weekly sign-in," Bai Ge said in his mind.
"Come on, system, be generous. If you don't give me something good this time, you're going to lose me forever," he muttered.
Whether because it heard him or not, the sign-in screen suddenly burst into golden light.
A surge of knowledge about an elemental skill flooded straight into his mind!
"Huh?"
Feeling the skill settle into his consciousness, Bai Ge exclaimed in surprise:
"It's actually this!"
It was one of the community's favorite Cryo application tools in the game—
Chongyun's Elemental Skill: Spirit Blade · Chonghua's Layered Frost!
"Good stuff!"
Bai Ge praised sincerely.
A skill that allowed him to create elemental reactions on his own was no less valuable than the Diluc ultimate he had obtained earlier.
At the very least, if he ran into Pyro Slimes again, he wouldn't end up tickling them like Keqing did.
"Right—since I'm at it, I might as well sort everything out."
Bai Ge opened his personal status panel.
He wanted to organize his current abilities—and also distract himself from Ganyu's earlier impact on his mind.
Soon, Bai Ge's personal panel appeared before him.

Weapons / Artifacts:

Bai Ge studied his panel carefully.
Strictly speaking, his strength was still inferior to Keqing's.
The numerical values for constitution, mental strength, and the like were similar to levels in the game.
At present, Bai Ge's overall level was only around 60.
As for Keqing, Bai Ge roughly estimated her strength to be in the mid-to-late 70s.
The reason he had displayed such overwhelming power that day was mainly due to his exceptionally high two-handed sword talent, as well as his profound mastery of the Ancient Millelith Sword Art.
According to the system, talent levels were categorized as:
Mass → Common → One-in-a-Hundred → One-in-a-Thousand → One-in-Ten-Thousand → Peerless → Divine
Skill levels, on the other hand, were divided into:
Apprentice → Proficient → Expert → Grandmaster → Legendary → Martial God
The original body's talents had all been at the Mass level.
It was only through repeated weekly sign-ins that Bai Ge had slowly raised his talent levels, as well as his sword and spear techniques.
Each upgrade worked much like unlocking a constellation—
every time you drew one, the level increased by one stage.
So just how strong was a One-in-Ten-Thousand two-handed sword talent?
Without exaggeration—
the moment Bai Ge swung a greatsword, he and the blade became as one.
Man and sword united.
Even while wielding an extremely heavy weapon, his center of gravity never wavered.
The greatsword flowed through the air like water, smooth and effortless.
The Millelith Greatsword was incredibly heavy.
Yet Bai Ge could ensure that every strike perfectly combined the sword's mass with his own strength.
The weight was no longer a hindrance—it became an advantage.
Add to that the Grandmaster-level Ancient Millelith Sword Art—
a level of mastery sufficient to found a school, or serve as the chief instructor of the Millelith in ancient Liyue—
Plus the Instructor artifact set that boosted elemental reactions…
And with Pyro being a "privileged" element—
That was why Bai Ge had looked so dominant in battle.
In truth, the elemental power stat represented energy capacity.
Diluc's ultimate required 40 energy.
Although Bai Ge possessed all seven elements simultaneously, each element shared the same energy pool.
With 53 energy, he had only barely met the requirement.
A second ultimate? Impossible.
After all, he didn't have a Vision.
Casting skills relied purely on his internal elemental power, and its recovery speed couldn't compare to those with an external magical organ.
"…A long road ahead."
Staring at his still somewhat underwhelming stats, Bai Ge let out a quiet sigh.
