115: Ranked Invitation

Hugging the two Griseos, Huo Xi felt a heart full of happiness.

[Name: Griseo

Age: Fifty Thousand

Gender: Female

friendship: 11/10

Identity: Wife/MANTIS/Pseudo-Descender

Affiliation: Thirteen Flame-Chasers/Hyperion

Vision: None

Constellation: None

Weapon: Starry Skies of the Past

Description: A girl like a blank slate, she will take on the colors of those around her and react with their personalities. Due to her blank slate nature, she can even meet the requirements of a Descender to a certain extent. You and Lumine need to interact with her more.]

[Name: Griseo

Age: Fifty-Five Thousand

Gender: Female

friendship: 11/10

Identity: Wife/MANTIS

Affiliation: Thirteen Flame-Chasers/Hyperion

Vision: None

Constellation: None

Weapon: Anchor of the Stars: Star's Journey

Description: After five thousand years of growth, the girl gradually developed her own colors, but consequently lost her blank slate characteristic and the qualification to become a Pseudo-Descender.

Compared to her childhood self, the current Griseo is undoubtedly more like a maiden in full bloom, but many small habits have been inherited, such as disliking wearing shoes, and even preferring to be a Nudist when she is alone in the house (referring to someone who dislikes wearing clothes when at home).]

Holding the two Griseos, one big and one small, Huo Xi naturally walked toward the room, but before he could take two steps, Lumine, holding the Skyward Blade, grabbed him by the back of the neck.

"Where are you going?"

"Let go, you traitor! I'm going to paint my two Griseos with my colors."

"What color do you have? The yellow of yellow waste?"

"What are you talking about, Lumine? It's white, of course."

"How about you put them down and let them decide where to go?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Lumine? Didn't you see that neither of them is wearing shoes? What if they catch a cold on the floor?"

"You're taking them!"

"Aaaahhhhh!!! My Griseoooooo!!!"

Lumine violently snatched the two Griseos from Huo Xi's arms. The little Griseo, like a blank slate, didn't resist at all, while the big Griseo quickly observed the reactions of everyone present, roughly determining each person's personality traits and approximate strength.

It was no exaggeration to say that in terms of combat power alone, those present who could directly contend with her, a MANTIS, probably numbered less than one hand.

(The big Griseo's ultimate move can cleave meteors, and Kenpachi Zaraki can also cleave meteors, so the big Griseo is nicknamed Little Kenpachi (mistake)).

After confirming that there was almost no threat around, Griseo felt safe enough to communicate with everyone.

She held her childhood self in her arms, listening as everyone introduced themselves.

Incidentally, the big Griseo seemed to regard the little Griseo before her as her own self from a certain World Bubble, and the little Griseo also regarded the big Griseo as her grown-up self from a certain World Bubble.

Eunectes sauntered over and looked at the few people summoned among the crowd: the big and little Griseos, Clara, Yunli, and Sanzomon. Together, they couldn't make up a single pair of shoes.

Eunectes showed a mocking smile: "Doctor, your hobbies really haven't changed at all."

"What are you talking about."

"Oh no, there should be some change. Is your taste milder now? On Rhodes Island, didn't you always go for the black silk sports..."

"Is Rhodes Island the Rhodes Island merged with Zhou Ba?!"

Wait, why would the data from Zhou Ba be in the summoned Eunectes's cognition? What exactly did the system inject into them during the summoning process?!

In short, Huo Xi's urge to immediately start a four-person team with the big and little Griseos and Eunectes was thwarted by Mona and Lumine and thus never materialized.

Are you guys already starting to prevent yourselves from becoming incompetent wives?

But seeing Eunectes and the two Griseos standing before him, the flame of joyful Zen that had somehow been extinguished was reignited. Perhaps no man could tolerate three such beautiful maidens, whose friendship levels were maxed out, standing perfectly intact right in front of him.

But now Lumine and the others were guarding them fiercely. You ungrateful bunch, turning against me the moment you got your five-star weapons!

But this also gave Huo Xi a reminder. Seeing the group of girls start a tea party, he simply ran off to Immernachtreich and gave away the Finality of Verse.

So he adjusted the Strange Domain time ratio back to one-to-one, and then went to Immernachtreich to play with Fischl.

Fischl was greatly moved.

Fischl expressed her gratitude.

Fischl needed Huo Xi to act as casting material.

Fischl invited Sanzomon to join.

Huo Xi left Immernachtreich three hours later. It was too terrifying; in three and a half hours, Sanzomon only accounted for one-third of the time.

Fischl's combat power alone was stronger than Mona and Lumine combined! Was this inherited from Fischl's Mother? What kind of life did Fischl's Father lead?

Huo Xi then ran to Mondstadt to find Lisa and gave her the Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds.

Lisa was overjoyed and immediately offered to reward Huo Xi. Huo Xi said he had just finished receiving a reward from Fischl, so a different kind of reward would be fine. Lisa thought for a moment and ran out.

Soon after, Lisa returned wearing Jean's clothes.

"How about now? What kind of reward do you want?"

"(Swallowing saliva) Sister, I'll listen to you."

"Such a good boy~"

Hmm... Lisa felt about 0.35 Fischl. Although her body had been significantly improved by Crystal Valley, she was inherently weak.

Afterward, Huo Xi went to find Barbara and Amber separately, giving the Everlasting Moonglow and the Polar Star to the two maidens.

What broke Huo Xi's conventional thinking was that both maidens unanimously chose a date-like method to express their gratitude to Huo Xi.

The method of gratitude was so wholesome that Huo Xi was a little slow to react, but this time, Huo Xi seriously accompanied the two on a formal [Hangout Event].

While accompanying Amber, he even unexpectedly encountered the Treasure Hoarders' "Northern Strange Bird," and somehow completed a Story Quest, earning quite a few Primogems.

However, because Huo Xi accidentally broke the Strange Bird's leg and then accidentally left him in a Domain populated only by Hilichurls, this directly resulted in the Northern Strange Bird disappearing in subsequent Treasure Hoarder operations.

Finally, both dates concluded with Huo Xi accepting a return gift from the maidens. Barbara gave him a homemade small brooch and cookies she baked herself, while Amber personally cooked a portion of grilled meat for Huo Xi, along with a 1/7 baron bunny figurine.

Undoubtedly, both maidens knew that Huo Xi had given them something very valuable, but being inexperienced, they couldn't correctly grasp the value of a five-star weapon. They simply thought they must give Huo Xi a return gift, just like any boyfriend and girlfriend.

This sweet and sticky atmosphere subtly made Huo Xi feel nostalgic... After dinner and nightfall, Huo Xi, satisfied after a full day of dating, returned to the Strange Domain, only to be blocked at the door by the big and little Griseos.

"We also want the same job as Miss Eunectes."

A question mark popped up on Huo Xi's forehead: "You want to forge metal?"

"No, the painting job."

Huo Xi suddenly realized, remembering that he indeed had plans to commission Griseo for novel illustrations. He immediately expressed this idea to the two Griseos, and both happily agreed.

Huo Xi was also happy and promptly sent out Ranked Invitations to the Griseos and Eunectes, but they all immediately ran off to the studio to start their work.

Huo Xi suddenly regretted giving them tasks.

How did I summon three workaholics at once?

However, the little Griseo suddenly grabbed Huo Xi's hand before leaving and said,

"Brother Huo Xi, there is a shining gold thing inside your body. I don't know what it is, but it's very powerful."

Huo Xi didn't understand and immediately checked his body but found nothing strange, until he looked at the system's message.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully capturing ten female characters! System reward has been issued and is currently stored in the system mailbox!]

Huo Xi was so shocked he leaned back defensively.

There are rewards for accumulating combat frequency?!
