Chapter 233 - Yoimiya's Jackpot and a New Bloodline Limit

"It seems your luck is quite good today, Keqing," Ningguang chuckled, watching Keqing finish opening seven jars.

Keqing had pulled a significant number of high-quality items this time.

"Mmh."

Keqing nodded in agreement, then proceeded to smash the remaining jars.

Bang.

The eighth jar shattered, revealing a pile of Mora.

"It's Mora."

Keqing raised an eyebrow at the currency.

"Three hundred thousand Mora," Felix said, assessing the amount with a single glance.

Keqing simply swept the coins away and moved on to the final two.

Bang! Bang!

Two distinct shattering sounds echoed. A pair of bronze wristbands fell from one jar, while the other was empty.

"Only one item dropped. The other was empty."

Keqing looked at the bronze wristbands and then at Felix. "Shopkeeper, what function do these wristbands serve?"

She wouldn't touch anything from the jars without understanding it first.

[Bronze Wristbands]: Magical wristbands from another world. When worn, the user simply needs to mime the action of drawing a bowstring. A giant, blurry energy bow will automatically form, and the wristbands will emit a dazzling light, generating an elemental arrow that flies at over 300 meters per second.

If the user possesses no elemental power, the wristbands will forcibly eject the ulna and radius bones from the user's arm as ammunition. The missing bones and flesh will regenerate rapidly, allowing for repeated shots.

Felix raised an eyebrow. He had no recollection of this specific item, nor which franchise it originated from.

"This is an elemental attack method," Felix explained to the curious Keqing. "Once you put them on, just mimic the motion of drawing a bow. A giant energy bow will form. Since you have Electro power, it will create an Electro arrow that flies at 300 meters per second."

"If an ordinary person without a Vision uses it, it will shoot out the bones in their arm. The bones and wounds will regenerate automatically within a few minutes."

"What a bizarre item," Keqing frowned.

Technically, even ordinary people could use it.

But shooting one's own bones out? Even if they regenerated, the concept was gruesome.

"Ordinary people can use it, but the pain must be excruciating," Xiangling noted hesitantly. "Regeneration doesn't mean the pain of losing a bone disappears."

"Correct," Felix nodded.

For a normal person, they became their own ammunition.

"Not bad."

Keqing looked at the shards of the ten jars with a satisfied smile.

She felt great about today's haul.

Compared to her last visit, her luck had improved significantly. The Mangekyo Sharingan alone made the trip worth it, not to mention the various tools.

With a wave of her hand, Keqing swept all her new items into her spatial ring.

"Your turn."

Felix turned his gaze to Yoimiya. "How many jars do you plan to open this time?"

"Nine!"

Yoimiya answered excitedly, placing a heavy bag of Mora on the counter. "Shopkeeper, here is 900,000 Mora."

"Mmh."

Felix weighed the bag in his hand and nodded. "Choose away."

"I want the ones surrounding that Exquisite Jar. Three on the left, three on the right, and three below."

Yoimiya pointed to the shelf, selecting a pattern around a specific jar.

"Done."

Felix waved his hand, and nine jars floated down, landing gently in front of Yoimiya.

Staring at the jars, Yoimiya smashed the first one with high hopes.

She had pulled a sniper rifle from a single jar earlier. There was no reason she wouldn't find more treasures.

Bang.

As the first jar shattered, a ring fell out.

[Storage Ring]: A spatial ring from an unknown cultivation world. Contains 20 cubic meters of space. Cannot store living things.

"A ring?"

Yoimiya raised an eyebrow at the simple, ancient-looking band. It looked unremarkable.

"A Storage Ring. It can store inanimate objects, but not living creatures," Felix chuckled. "It has a capacity of twenty cubic meters."

"Twenty cubic meters?"

Keqing looked surprised.

That big?

Her own ring from the shop was only two cubic meters.

"Like alchemy equipment?" Yoimiya's face lit up with joy.

This was exactly what she needed.

Carrying the Infinite Ammo Sniper Rifle on her back wasn't heavy, but it was cumbersome and attracted attention.

Yoimiya immediately slipped the ring onto her finger.

With a thought, she stored her rifle and other gear inside.

"This is great."

Yoimiya beamed.

From now on, transporting her fireworks and weapons would be effortless. The utility of this ring was immense.

The only downside was the inability to store living things, like her Goldfish.

Looking at the remaining eight jars, Yoimiya continued smashing excitedly. This time, she broke three at once.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shattering sounds rang out.

A blue-purple fruit and two bright red flowers that resembled neon clouds fell out.

[Wolfhook]: A berry with thorns that hooks onto wolves' fur for migration. Seeing it evokes the mournful howls of wolves in the forest.

[Silk Flower]: A crimson flower that blooms like rainbow clouds in Liyue. Can be made into silky fabric.

"What kind of flower is this? It's so pretty," Yoimiya asked curiously, picking up the red bloom.

The Silk Flower was beautiful—much nicer than the Blood Dendrobiums back in Inazuma, which had a rather ominous vibe.

"Silk Flower, a Liyue specialty," Felix smiled. "Something you don't have in Inazuma. If you like them, you can buy more at the Feiyun Commerce Guild."

"Oh, I see."

Yoimiya nodded, storing them away.

She then smashed the next jar.

Bang.

This time, a palm-sized, white flashlight fell out.

"A flashlight?"

Hu Tao leaned in with interest.

Mona had pulled a flashlight before, and it was quite interesting. This one likely had a special function too.

"Solidifying Light."

Felix identified the item instantly. "Anything illuminated by its light—formless things like water, smoke, or clouds—will be solidified for five minutes."

[Solidifying Light]: A gadget from the future. Solidifies formless substances.

"Eh?"

Yoimiya blinked. "That seems... useless."

Solidifying formless things for five minutes? What was the point?

"How is it useless?" Hu Tao grinned mischievously. "If water gets solidified, can't you shine it on the ocean and walk on it like flat ground?"

"Or shine it on clouds and play on top of them?"

Yoimiya: "??????"

"Really?" Yoimiya was stunned. "You can do that?"

"No, you can't," Felix interrupted with a deadpan expression. "It solidifies the medium, it doesn't harden it into stone. If you solidify seawater, it remains water. If you step on it, you'll still sink; it just stops flowing. If you shine it on a cloud, the cloud freezes in place, but it won't gain the density to support your weight."

"Eh?" Hu Tao looked disappointed. "Then this thing really is useless?"

"It depends on how you use it," Felix said slowly. "There are no useless items, only unimaginative users."

These tools might be niche, but they weren't worthless.

"It's fine," Yoimiya smiled brightly. "I already got the sniper rifle today, so I'm happy. Even if the rest of the jars are empty, I can accept it."

She rubbed the storage ring on her finger.

The sniper rifle inside was a massive win. Infinite ammo, three-kilometer range, elemental infusion... getting that alone made the trip worth it.

Bang!

Thinking this, Yoimiya smashed the next jar.

A brilliant red light flashed.

A glowing red orb appeared.

"Bloodline Power."

Seeing the red orb, Ningguang's pupils contracted sharply.

Baixiao had pulled a similar orb before—the Byakugan.

Those bloodline abilities were powerful and versatile.

Now, Yoimiya had pulled one too.

"Bloodline Power?"

Yoimiya paused, confused. Lady Ningguang recognizes this?
