I'm a male god in Liyue

Xia Ci also came over to promote her little cube.

"Take a look at this little alarm clock. It has multiple sound modes to choose from: the boss boyfriend type, the youthful girl type, the tsundere girl type, the energetic type, the icy type..."

What is the "boss boyfriend" type?

"That's my cousin's voice..."

"Make a price!"

"readily!"

It's more comfortable dealing with mature women like this.

Gan Yu, that shy and hesitant child, has truly wasted so many years of her life.

Ningguang played with the small cube in her hand for a while, then looked at Xia Ci with great interest: "Are you interested in mass-producing this?"

Xia Ci chuckled: "Aren't you running a paper mill and a lipstick factory now? Do you have enough manpower? Besides, this thing is much more complicated to manufacture and assemble than those two little gadgets."

"It's alright. We can start with small-scale products, go for the high-end luxury route, cultivate core technical talent, and build its reputation along the way. We can expand the scale later when resources are more readily available."

"This business model is feasible as long as you have sufficient funding."

"Then I'll bring the contract over tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll organize the design drawings tonight. Oh, and I have one more request."

"any request?"

"Let Yunhan Society also join this collaboration."

“Yunhan Society… Okay.”

"Ah."

In the midst of their lighthearted conversation, the two completed another business collaboration.

……

into the night.

Xia Ci put on the void terminal and contacted Naxida directly.

"elder sister."

"You've had access to the highest level of the Void for a day. You must have seen quite a few buried truths. How do you feel about it?"

Naxida remained silent for a while.

She saw a lot of top-secret information in the void today.

The confidentiality level of those materials is extremely high; some are even only accessible to great sages.

She was indeed somewhat shocked by some of the very negative information.

Nasita said slowly but firmly, "Sister, I want to become the grass god of Sumeru."

"You've come to your senses?"

"Ok!"

"Very good, then go ahead and do what you want to do. I will always be watching over you."

"Ok!"

"I'll hang up now. Long-distance calls are too tiring. You'll have to use them sparingly, sister."

"what?"

"If you need anything, just leave me a message in the virtual world. I'll check it every night. Good luck, goodbye..."

"...Hello?...Sister?..."

Naxi Da looked completely bewildered.

The bedroom next door.

Xia Zhi opened the [Shop] and found the [First Meditation Method].

He has now earned enough points to buy it.

[First Meditation Method]

Quality: Diamond.

Type: Skill Book.

Characteristics: Passive, thinks, doesn't think.

Effect: Immediately gain the passive skill "First Meditation" upon use, permanently increasing maximum mana by 1 point per second.

Hidden effect: Reduces mana cost by 50%.

Price: 10000 points.

Xia Zhi chose to buy it, and at the same time, a strange, diamond-colored orb of light appeared in his inventory.

This is the first god-level skill book he has ever obtained.

Diamonds seem to be the ultimate goal of meditation.

At the next two levels, Xia Zhi did not find any more advanced meditation methods.

The Third Meditation Method is made of gold, the Second Meditation Method is made of platinum, and the First Meditation Method is made of diamond. Their names are very similar, and their effects are also similar. However, as the quality increases, the speed at which the maximum mana is increased becomes faster.

Moreover, their hidden effects are similar, both reducing mana consumption, and the reduction effect increases with the improvement of quality.

The combined hidden effects of these three meditation techniques reduced Xia Zhi's mana consumption by 90%.

Combined with the life-steal effect of [Bloodline Embrace], Xia Zhi can basically cast any spell or skill except for those god-level spells that require divine power.

Although these three meditation methods seem to have the same origin, for some reason, they do not belong to the same set of items, and even if they are collected, they do not have any set characteristics.

Perhaps it's because the three of them are of different qualities...

After all, the set items he currently possesses—the [Eternal Spirit Blade] set of kitchen utensils, the [Spirit Luo Bamboo Brush] set of writing implements, and the [Mermaid's Voice] set of potions—all contain items of the same quality.

Xia Zhi took the strange, diamond-colored light from his inventory.

"Use the skill book [First Meditation Method]?"

"Yes."

The ball of light disappeared, and Xia Zhi closed his eyes, feeling a huge amount of information suddenly appear in his mind.

This amount of information far exceeded any skill book he had used before.

It took Xia Zhi a long time to process this terrifying amount of information.

He looked at the system panel, where a new passive skill called [First Meditation Method] had appeared.

[First Meditation Method]: Passive, +1.3 mana per second.

It has to be said that the amplification effect of the [Scholar's Ring] is really useful; it can even amplify god-level passive skills.

Although it only provides a 30% bonus, it still far exceeds the effect of the Second Meditation Method.

Xia Zhi once again witnessed the phenomenon of "1+1>2" between items.

It's similar to the outcome between [Shadow Hand] and [Temporary Certificate].

This means that the quality of an item is not the only criterion for determining whether it is good or bad; some gold items are actually more useful than platinum items.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of the other gold items he currently owned.

[Blazing Incense Burner], [Hidden Hat], [Dream Pillow], [Master Key], [Resurrection Coin], [Heart Badge].

He has now purchased the [First Meditation Method] and has no other diamond items he wants to buy for the time being. He plans to spend his points in two directions:

First, collect the complete set of kitchen utensils, pens, and potions, and see what happens when the set's special properties are activated.

Second, try to "evolve" your frequently used items to see if they develop any new, surprising characteristics.

With this in mind, Xia Zhi shifted his attention to the characteristics of the First Meditation Method.

Like the other two meditation methods, it also has a passive characteristic.

However, unlike the other characteristic of the Second Meditation Method, Visualization, the two new characteristics brought about by the First Meditation Method seem to be contradictory:

[Having thoughts] and [Not having thoughts].

【有想】：A myriad of delusions and a thousand kinds of spiritual thoughts.

【无想】：Without any thoughts or desires, one is in harmony with nature.

Xia Zhi first tried the [Thought] ability. He activated this feature and immediately felt his thoughts become intensely turbulent.

My mind seemed to suddenly enter a state of high-speed operation, like a storm.

He "looked" at the cup on the table, and countless images related to the cup immediately and uncontrollably flashed through his mind: him picking up the cup; him throwing the cup away; him looking at the cup; him looking away; him filling the cup with water; him turning the cup upside down...

Each image represents one of the possibilities that the cup might experience in the future.

This experience felt to Xia Zhi like a super-powerful deduction performed after drinking an enhanced version of "Silver Thread Dew".

Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze, ending the state of "thinking".
