Diona lay sprawled on the table, her cat ears perked up, and her tail swaying back and forth irritably.
Her cat ears and tail were not decorations.
These cat-like features were symbols of the "Kätzlein bloodline," extrely rare in the Mondstadt region.
Thanks to this ancient lineage, Diona, like her father Draff, had exceptional talent in hunting.
Stealth, archery, agile climbing and dodging, night vision...
Diona had originally been very proud of these excellent abilities, but now she sowhat regretted having cat-like sensitive hearing.
Even with her cat ears covered, she could clearly hear the strange sounds coming from Senior Zhu Zi in the back hall.
The sounds were soft and low, seeming both pleasurable and painful, wildly scratching at her cat-like curious heart.
Diona finally couldn't help herself and looked at the composed Shenhe sitting beside her, asking quietly, "Senior Shenhe."
"Mm?"
"Is the boss giving Senior Zhu Zi a massage?"
"Mm."
"Is it the weight-loss massage?"
"Mm."
"What's it like?"
"I don't know."
"Huh?"
"My constitution is very good. I don't get tired or gain weight, so I've never gotten a massage from the boss."
"Oh."
"If you want to know, you can ask the boss for a massage."
"I-I don't want one! I'm not fat at all! I was just asking!"
Diona's face turned red as she protested strongly.
Shenhe nodded, still expressionless: "Then you asked the wrong person. When Zhu Zi cos out, you can ask her."
Diona looked at her, feeling deflated, and slumped back onto the table with a muffled, "Oh."
After a long while, Zhu Zi, having finished her second bath, ca back from the bathroom looking radiant.
Diona imdiately sat up and waved to her: "Senior Zhu Zi!"
Zhu Zi smiled and nodded, and as soon as she sat down, Diona leaned in to ask her quietly about the massage.
With slightly reddened cheeks, Zhu Zi softly explained to her what kind of experience the 800-mora full course was.
Then, Diona's expression beca dazed, and her cheeks also turned red.
"It's really extrely comfortable. You should try it next ti. 800 mora isn't cheap, but it's absolutely worth it."
"N-no way!"

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke from his sleep, feeling the bed beneath him was both warm and comfortable.
[Heat Talisman] five-star review! Gentle warmth! Long-lasting! Super experience! Even better than the heated bed from his original world!
Xia Zhi couldn't help but lie there a while longer, opening the system panel to recycle all the dream materials he had collected last night.
His available points instantly beca: 1024.
Finally saved up to 1000 points.
Xia Zhi opened the [Shop] and found the platinum item he had been eyeing for a long ti.
[Second ditation thod]
Quality: Platinum
Type: Skill Book
Properties: Passive, Visualization
Effect: Imdiately gain the passive skill "Second ditation thod" upon use, permanently increasing mana limit by 1 point per minute.
Hidden Effect: Mana consumption reduced by 30%
Price: 1000 points
Xia Zhi bought it directly, his available points dropping by 1000, instantly becoming a pitiful 24.
At the sa ti, a platinum-colored strange light orb appeared in his inventory.
This was Xia Zhi's second platinum item.
He didn't imdiately use this skill book, but sat up in bed.
Then, Xia Zhi took out [Second ditation thod], [Enhancent Crystal], and [Hourglass of Ti] from his inventory.
He took the crystal and brought it close to the strange light orb.
"Do you want to use [Enhancent Crystal] on [Second ditation thod]? Please note, this is a platinum item with only a 1% chance of successful quality improvent."
"Yes."
The crystal in his hand suddenly shattered, transforming into countless bright points that rged into the light orb.
Xia Zhi stared intently at the light orb.
If this operation succeeded, [Second ditation thod] would directly beco [First ditation thod].
Permanently increasing mana limit by 1 point per second, in one day it would permanently increase mana limit by 86,400 points. He could break through 100,000 mana limit tomorrow and beco a light system deity. Then he could casually throw around that [Heaven's Star] skill like the Geo Archon.
"Evolution failed, received random enhancent — [Second ditation thod] skill effect increased by 5%."
Xia Zhi picked up the [Hourglass of Ti], trying again.
"Evolution failed, received random enhancent — [Second ditation thod] skill effect increased by 3%."
"Evolution failed, received random enhancent — [Second ditation thod] skill effect increased by 6%."
"Evolution failed, received random enhancent — [Second ditation thod] skill effect increased by 7%."
"Evolution failed, received random enhancent — [Second ditation thod] skill effect increased by 5%."
Forget it, this is pointless.
Better save the crystals to enhance [Hourglass of Ti].
After all, this is the noble rule of ti.
As for [First ditation thod], its effect is just so-so. [Second ditation thod] might be slower, but it's still usable.
There's no point in waiting anymore. A 99% failure rate for evolution is too high. Starting [Second ditation thod] one minute earlier ans gaining 1 point of mana limit one minute earlier.
Xia Zhi sighed helplessly and picked up the light orb.
"Do you want to use skill book [Second ditation thod]?"
"Yes."
The light orb disappeared, and Xia Zhi closed his eyes, feeling lots of new information appear in his mind.
After digesting all this information, Xia Zhi opened his eyes to see a new passive skill [Second ditation thod] on his system panel: 1.3 mana limit/minute.
[Scholar's Ring]'s amplification effect: five-star review!
Xia Zhi did a quick calculation. With just [Second ditation thod]'s effect, he could increase his mana limit by 1,872 points per day. It would only take 53.4 days to increase by 100,000 points.
Adding the previous [Third ditation thod], by the end of next month, he should be able to use fifth-rank spells.
Then he could ask Miss Chi Yu if she wanted to be revived, and if she did, he could cast [Resurrection] on her.
As for the unknown divinity corrupting his eyes, once he beca a deity himself, dispelling them should no longer be difficult.
After his eyes returned to normal, the glasses Miss Yanfei gave him would be useless, which was a bit of a sha.
Xia Zhi also tried the new property that [Second ditation thod] brought: [Visualization].
[Visualization]: Concentrate your mind to enter a ditation space where you can visualize a world.
Xia Zhi went into the ditation space to look around. It was an empty ntal world that required him to spend ntal power to create what he wanted.
It had a sandbox-like fun to it, though he hadn't discovered more uses for it yet.
Unfortunately, his ntal power was currently very tight. He needed to save it for basic inco to earn points, so he temporarily didn't have extra ntal power to build this ditation space.
After playing with [Visualization] for a while, Xia Zhi got up and took out [Blazing Incense Burner] to start refining [Joy Incense].
Can't skip the basic inco.
After recycling a piece of incense, his points increased by 10, becoming 34.
Xia Zhi put away the incense burner, thought for a mont, took out that bag of [Bliss Rice], grabbed a large handful, and decided to make sothing good for everyone this morning. He also spent 2 points to purchase a [Montary Wine Starter] from the [Shop], which was a supernatural wine starter that could speed up ferntation.
After going downstairs and finishing his morning routine, he emptied the [Dragon-Turning Pot], cleaned it, and put the [Bliss Rice] and [Montary Wine Starter] in together.
Shortly after, the [Bliss Rice] in the [Dragon-Turning Pot] had fernted. Of course, this was due to the effect of the [Montary Wine Starter], as the [Dragon-Turning Pot] had no effect on supernatural ingredients and only served as a container.
[Bliss Rice Wine]
Quality: Silver
Type: Consumable
Properties: None
Effect: Rice wine quickly fernted with [Montary Wine Starter], consumption makes one feel as if they've arrived in paradise.
Hidden Effect: Can accelerate spirit value recovery.
Non-recyclable.
Looking at the item description, Xia Zhi found that [Bliss Rice Wine] had the sa effect as [Bliss Rice Pops].
He tried adding so [White Jade Honey], and sure enough, the item effect beca the sa as [White Jade Bliss Rice Pops]: consumption brings extre happiness.
"Boss, what are we eating this morning?"
"Rice wine with eggs."
Upon hearing the word wine, Diona imdiately bristled.
"Wine? I don't want wine! I absolutely won't drink wine!"
"Really don't want any?"
"No! Wine is evil! I, Diona, would rather starve! Die outside! Than drink a single drop of wine!"
"This is rice wine, rice wine doesn't count as wine. It's similar to cooking wine, which I use in cooking all the ti, and you've eaten that."
"I..."
"Here, this bowl is for you."
"I... I'm not drinking because I want to! It's because the boss is forcing ! I just don't want to waste the boss's... Actually, it's great!"
