Genshin Impact: I'm living the life of a god in Liyue Chapter 286 - 286

Xia Zhi imdiately opened the [Shop] and purchased another [Full Recovery Potion], placing it in the [Evolution] panel.

He had just clicked the evolution button twice when he heard the system's reminder in his mind.

"Today's ordinary evolution attempts have been exhausted. Would you like to spend double points to continue evolving?"

Double? No, thanks.

"…No."

Xia Zhi silently threw the potion back into his inventory and did so quick calculations in his mind.

The first evolution, turning the [Treasure Compass] from Silver to Gold, took six attempts.

The second evolution, turning the [Treasure Compass] from Gold to Platinum, took eight attempts.

The third evolution, turning the [Full Recovery Potion] from Gold to Platinum, took four attempts.

The fourth evolution, which hadn't succeeded yet, took two attempts.

This ant the system's daily ordinary evolution attempts totaled twenty.

Although his luck stat was quite high, it still took him eight attempts to succeed during the second evolution, which showed the instability of the luck attribute.

It couldn't yet make Xia Zhi's every wish co true in every situation, but in the overall trend of tonight's "evolution" events, Xia Zhi was still quite lucky and made a steady profit.

This instability might be because his luck stat wasn't high enough yet.

It seed he would need to do more good deeds in the future and invest in [Auspiciousness].

Xia Zhi "looked" at the [Evolution] panel in front of him and pondered the system's reminder, which ntioned the concept of "ordinary evolution attempts."

In contrast, spending double points for evolution attempts should be considered special evolution attempts, or perhaps "pay-to-evolve" attempts?

He wondered if these more expensive evolution attempts would have any special effects.

After so thought, Xia Zhi decided to give it a try.

However, due to the double points cost, he didn't plan to use a Gold-tier item for the test. Instead, he opted for a Black Iron-tier item. Even if the evolution cost doubled, it would only go from 1 point to 2 points, which was completely acceptable.

Xia Zhi looked through his inventory and took out the small bell he had bought earlier and played with Shenhe a few tis.

[lody Bell]

Quality: Black Iron

Type: Accessory

Trait: None

Effect: When shaken, the bell produces a pleasant lody.

Hidden Effect: None

Xia Zhi placed the small bell in the [Evolution] panel and clicked the evolution button.

"Today's ordinary evolution attempts have been exhausted. Would you like to spend double points to continue evolving?"

"Yes."

"Do you wish to evolve the [lody Bell]? This item is of Black Iron-tier, with a current evolution success rate of 10%. It will cost 2 points."

"Yes."

The available points decreased by 2, and a flash of light appeared on the system's [Evolution] panel.

Xia Zhi paid special attention and noticed that the color of this flash was no different from the previous evolution flashes.

"Evolution failed…"

This ti, he failed four tis before succeeding on the fifth attempt, spending a total of 10 points.

Xia Zhi checked the updated description of the [lody Bell].

[lody Bell]

Quality: Silver

Type: Accessory

Trait: None

Effect: When shaken, the bell produces a pleasant lody. The lody does not imdiately dissipate but lingers in the air, gradually forming a charming echo effect. The duration and pitch of the echo can vary based on the force and frequency of the shake, creating various rhythms and musical effects.

Hidden Effect: None

Recyclable: 10 points.

After the quality upgrade, the small bell's appearance didn't change, but it gained a new extraordinary effect—the echo. It seed quite interesting.

Hmm, I'll set it aside for now and play with it later.

Xia Zhi then bought a can of [Long-Lasting Fruit Candy] and threw it into the [Evolution] panel for evolution.

This ti, he also failed four tis before succeeding on the fifth attempt, spending another 10 points.

He checked the updated description of the candy.

[Long-Lasting Fruit Candy]

Quality: Silver

Type: Consumable

Trait: None

Effect: The flavor of the fruit candy lingers in the mouth for an entire day, allowing the user to experience all the characteristics and sensations of the fruit, as if they were personally tasting the real fruit.

Hidden Effect: None

After the quality upgrade, the can grew slightly larger, and the fruit candies inside also beca a bit bigger. It gained a new extraordinary effect—"Taste Resonance"—which also seed quite interesting.

Xia Zhi opened the can, took out a red candy, and popped it into his mouth.

It was waterlon-flavored.

As the flavor spread across his tongue, he gradually felt as if he were actually eating waterlon.

The abundant and refreshing juice, the sweet and crisp flesh, the unique and cool aroma…

It was truly fascinating.

Xia Zhi was very satisfied with this effect, and Shenhe would surely love it too.

While eating the candy, he continued browsing the [Shop] and purchased a new bottle of [Nail Polish], placing it in the [Evolution] panel.

"Today's ordinary evolution attempts have been exhausted. Would you like to spend triple points to continue evolving?"

Triple?

Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback by the system's reminder.

The price had gone up again?

He did so quick calculations. He had just evolved two Black Iron-tier items, using up ten double-point attempts.

In other words, after exhausting the daily twenty ordinary evolution attempts, he could still continue using the [Evolution] function, but the price seed to double every ten additional attempts.

"No."

Xia Zhi directly refused and put the [Nail Polish] back into his inventory.

Although he could afford the 3-point evolution cost, it wasn't necessary.

Xia Zhi "glanced" at the [Enhancent] function, which was listed alongside the [Evolution] function.

The cost of this function was the sa as [Evolution], but each item could only be enhanced up to five tis.

However, at the mont, it didn't seem as cost-effective as [Evolution]. After all, even if the extraordinary effects of a Black Iron-tier item were enhanced fivefold, they generally wouldn't surpass the new effects gained by evolving it to Silver-tier.

But from a cultivation perspective, it seed that enhancing an item to its maximum potential at each quality level before evolving it to the next tier would be the best approach.

It just consud a lot of points.

He would have to work harder to earn points.

Xia Zhi savored the waterlon-flavored candy in his mouth, browsed the [Shop] for a while longer, and then heard a soft knock on the wall next door.

She's here.

Xia Zhi walked over, used the [Master Key] to open the door, and Shenhe entered.

"Double ponytails again, huh?"

"Mm. Boss, are you eating fruit candy?"

"Yeah, here, have one too."

"Mmm, sour plum… This feels like…"

"Like eating a real sour plum, right?"

"Right."

"Do you like it?"

"I do."

"Take this can of fruit candy with you."

"Thank you, boss."

"And this bell…"

And then, there was no "and then."

To be precise, the faster the small bell was shaken, the more beautiful the echo beca. This new effect was just too fun.
