"Congratulations to the host for using the Parametric Transformer to obtain an intertwined fate, and additionally receiving a Bone Whistle, Mora, and ores."
As usual, Makoto used the Parametric Transformer to turn waste into treasure.
Today, his luck seemed good, as he unexpectedly acquired a 'Bone Whistle.'
Looking at the crescent-shaped Bone Whistle in his backpack, Makoto was slightly stunned.
He wondered if this thing wasn't just the material item 'Fragment of a Northern Wolf's Broken Tooth'?
Did it just become a Bone Whistle after some processing?
Makoto took the Bone Whistle out of his backpack and held it in his palm, playing with it.
Small and exquisite, light as if it had no weight – that was Makoto's first impression of the Bone Whistle.
This Bone Whistle was smoothly and delicately crafted, feeling cool to the touch.
If one only considered the Bone Whistle as an ornament or a musical instrument, one would be underestimating it, thinking too small.
The Bone Whistle originated in the Liyue region, and its user could blow various timbres to confuse enemies.
In the game, Eula often used the Bone Whistle to play the sound of ocean waves, to interfere with enemy judgment, scare away low-intelligence monsters, and achieve the miraculous effect of winning with fewer numbers.
Eula's title of 'Spindrift Knight' also came from this.
Speaking of which, the current Little Eula has not yet encountered the Liyue Bone Whistle, and doesn't even know what a Bone Whistle is.
That is to say, Eula hasn't met the master who taught her the Bone Whistle technique yet.
Makoto looked at the Bone Whistle in his hand, thinking, perhaps he could try it himself?
He placed the Bone Whistle in his mouth, took a deep breath, and tried to blow a sound.
A sound did come out, but due to a lack of any technique, it sounded like a ghostly wail.
The next second, Ganyu and Qiqi appeared outside Makoto's door simultaneously, thinking something had happened to Makoto, their expressions filled with concern.
"It's nothing, Taroumaru was just being noisy."
Makoto was too embarrassed to admit that his Bone Whistle playing was terrible.
Immediately after, Makoto looked down at Taroumaru, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and said earnestly, "Taroumaru, no disturbing the peace, or I'll take you to get neutered."
Taroumaru:???
He could get shot just by lying down?
Maybe I'm not human, but you are truly a dog.
After sending Ganyu and Qiqi back to their rooms, Makoto felt a headache coming on.
This Bone Whistle wasn't that easy to learn; now that he couldn't even play it himself, how could he teach Eula?
Just then, the system's voice rang in Makoto's mind.
"Do you want to consume an intertwined fate to upgrade the 'Bone Whistle' Talent to Level 15?"
The system had the function of upgrading Talents.
Previously, Makoto had helped Taroumaru upgrade his 'Blade Blocking' Talent to max level.
Facing the system's choice, Makoto chose yes without hesitation.
To be a good master to Eula, the Bone Whistle was an indispensable part.
As an intertwined fate was deducted, Makoto felt the methods and techniques for using the Bone Whistle appear out of thin air in his mind.
As long as Makoto wanted to, he could create the sound of a bustling crowd in the silent night.
This was also the core of the Bone Whistle: its varied timbres, almost like ventriloquism.
After this, Makoto opened the gacha pool again.
Although one intertwined fate had been deducted, he still had two intertwined fate, from Amber and Yun Jin respectively.
Next, Makoto put the two intertwined fate into the gacha pool.
The first pull was blue skies and white clouds; when the light dissipated, Makoto saw a can of tea.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a can of high-quality black tea."
"This black tea has a vibrant color, rich aroma, and the effect of refreshing and relieving fatigue."
Looking at the black tea in his backpack, Makoto immediately thought of Lisa, one of the three Archons of the library.
Because Lisa served as the librarian in the Mondstadt Library, she often felt sleepy due to boredom and needed to drink tea daily to stay awake.
Makoto felt that Lisa might like this can of black tea.
He pulled his thoughts back and performed the second draw.
This draw was still blue skies and white clouds, and the item obtained was the 'Steak' recipe.
The reason Makoto could master various cooking methods wasn't because he deliberately learned them, but because he drew them from the gacha pool.
Steak was Amber's favorite food, so he would make it for everyone when they went to Windrise tomorrow afternoon.
Exiting the gacha interface, Makoto turned on his desk lamp, preparing to write the Inazuma chapter.
Actually, Makoto didn't want to write at all, but Yae Miko was also in the inn.
Every day they met, Yae Miko's first words would be "Good morning," and her second would be, "Mr. Faxun, how is the manuscript coming along?"
If Makoto directly said he hadn't written the manuscript, Yae Miko would leave nonchalantly, with a smile on her face.
But it wouldn't be long before the Little Cuties would run over to Makoto to complain, whimpering that Auntie was bullying them.
Or perhaps Yae Miko would walk up to Ganyu and casually bring up matters concerning the Raiden sisters.
It was clear she was looking for trouble, both overtly and covertly.
Makoto had a headache, so every time Yae Miko asked about the manuscript, he could only reply that he had started writing.
But he couldn't guarantee that one day Yae Miko wouldn't whimsically ask to see the manuscript, so he still had to write.
Makoto felt a bit depressed; he thought that one day, he would make that lewd fox Yae Miko cry and admit she was wrong.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door again.
Makoto subconsciously glanced out the window.
It was already the middle of the night; who would be knocking at this hour?
He opened the door and saw Ganyu, looking nervous and uneasy.
"Ganyu, what's wrong?"
Ganyu clutched the corner of her clothes and stammered, "I, I couldn't sleep, and I was a bit worried about you, so I came to check."
Makoto realized that it was the strange sound from the Bone Whistle earlier that had caused Ganyu's concern.
Although Makoto had already explained it clearly, Ganyu was still worried.
At this moment, Ganyu noticed the desk lamp and the manuscript. She looked up at Makoto: "Aren't you going to rest yet?"
Facing Ganyu's question, Makoto didn't want to lie and truthfully replied, "I'll sleep after writing a bit of the manuscript."
"I, I want to stay with you, may I?"
Although Ganyu didn't understand light novel, she wanted to be by Makoto's side.
This feeling was like a boy going to an internet cafe to play games; even if the girl didn't understand, she would still patiently sit by his side.
The boy would focus intently on the computer screen, while the girl would focus intently on the boy's profile.
She would be happy when the boy cheered and would quietly offer snacks when she sensed he was upset.
Ultimately, the girl didn't understand games at all; her world only contained the boy, nothing more.
Looking at Ganyu, who was so nervous her hands and feet were fidgeting, Makoto was slightly stunned, then he gently nodded: "Okay."
Makoto suddenly lost the mood to write; after all, who writes novels seriously, especially at this hour?
But just then, a faint voice came from outside the door: "Makoto, don't be scared… Qiqi is here…"
Little Qiqi also came; she was also worried about Makoto.
Makoto suddenly felt that too much concern was sometimes not a good thing.
The subsequent result was that Makoto sat at his desk, somewhat depressed, writing his manuscript.
Qiqi, meanwhile, sat on Ganyu's lap listening to a story, but as Ganyu was telling it, she herself fell asleep.
Seeing this, Makoto shook his head helplessly: "How can there be such a silly person, telling a story and putting herself to sleep."
He made a shushing gesture with his hand, telling Qiqi to be quiet.
Then he took off his jacket and put it over Ganyu.
After doing all this, Makoto sat back down at his desk.
"Inspiration has struck tonight; I must finish the story in one go and surprise Miko tomorrow."
...
The next morning, Yae Miko received Makoto's manuscript.
"Mr. Faxun, have you encountered a bottleneck in your recent creation?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Look for yourself, every line screams one word: short! I only flipped one page and it was gone?"
Hearing Yae Miko's teasing, Makoto replied without batting an eyelid: "As everyone knows, the human limit is two thousand words."
