Looking at the bewildered Furina, Alex finally explained to her openly: "It's like this, I have a power, and by consuming these Primogems, I can draw cards."
"Oh?" Furina nodded, then asked, "So, sometimes when you make strange movements, you're using this power?"
Alex nodded and said, "Something like that. I call it a 'shouji' (cell phone), 'shou' for hand and 'ji' for machine. It's a mechanical device that can be held in the hand… In our world, it's a common item that everyone has, and the one that came with me has become my golden finger, or rather, my system."
"Oh~" Furina responded, understanding a little.
Alex briefly introduced it: "It has many functions. First, there's time: I can check the time anytime. Backpack: It allows me to store and retrieve various items. I haven't tested how much it can hold, but I estimate it's a lot."
"Tasks: Occasionally, there are small tasks for me to do. You know, after I used that big loudspeaker to shout, I obtained a Hydro Vision. That was obtained through a task."
"Map: It seems to record the map of Teyvat, but it's all black. Only places I've visited are lit up. And most importantly, it can record Statues of The Seven and Teleport Waypoints. The reason I can teleport back and forth is because of this."
"Finally, there's this, the most important function: drawing cards!"
"I think I understand what you mean, but why can't I see the 'shouji' you're talking about?" Furina asked, puzzled.
"Perhaps it's because it's a power from outside this world, so you can't see it…" Alex said, casually picking up his phone.
He spoke to his phone as if joking: "Did you hear that? My wife Furina can't see my phone. That's really not right, is it!"
Furina became a little anxious again: "Didn't I say not to use the word 'wife'? Why did you say it again!"
"Sorry, sorry, it's Fufu, Fufu…" Alex said, then saw his phone vibrate with a buzz, and his star-like eyes instantly widened.
[Secondary permission unlocked. Select a character to bind, limited to one person.]
Secondary permission: Excluding personal panel, skills, and backpack, the secondary user can also control the main user's phone.
Note: Granting secondary permission to others is very dangerous for the main user. Please choose the binding target carefully.
Ah, this… I just said it as a joke, and it actually gave me this option, huh?
However, I can choose one person to use my phone… Hmm, it is indeed dangerous, after all, the phone is one's privacy. In the previous world, even spouses rarely used each other's phones to look through things.
It's just letting Furina use my phone too, it's not a big problem. Most importantly, she can help me draw cards.
Although this is his unique golden finger, protagonists generally don't tell others about it.
But this is his wife, Furina! Alex didn't care what others thought.
Perhaps in the future, they can complete tasks together and unlock more new functions.
Maybe, later on, we can even browse short videos. Playing allogene within allogene might not be impossible.
Alex envisioned the future; that scene was truly beautiful~
Just imagine, Furina using his phone to watch fan-made videos of herself, and even other people's.
Joy ensued!
As a phone, it must be able to watch videos, play games, and listen to music, right?!
Although he doesn't know how to unlock them yet, that's for later. For now, let's confirm the binding!
"Bind Furina for me!" Alex said, typing in "Furina" and pressing the confirm button.
[Are you really sure?]
[Sure??]
[Really, no kidding???]
[Who are you binding???]
…Good heavens, playing this game with me, my mind is made up!!!
He clicked the confirmation option countless times, and finally… the phone prompted: You have successfully bound secondary permission user Furina.
Since the target cannot understand Chinese characters, secondary permission user Furina has gained the skill [Chinese Proficiency].
At the same time, she gained the phone application: Language Converter.
Now you can freely use your phone to scan Teyvat's language and translate it into Chinese!
Good, good, good! Alex didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. He didn't expect this function to appear this way.
He was just worrying about not understanding the writing of Teyvat.
However, even though he understands it now, he still can't write it. Should he take some time to learn?
Since he's already here… As for Furina, after Alex granted her permission, her Vision suddenly went white for a moment.
When her Vision returned, she saw the phone Alex was holding, exactly as he described it.
A rectangular iron brick? The phone was actually glowing at this moment.
Furina curiously stood up and sat next to him.
The deep blue starry sky-themed phone entered Furina's eyes.
Then she saw the phone screen.
"Hmm? You can see it now?" Alex exited the prompt interface and turned to look at Furina.
Furina nodded, then looked at Alex's phone with novelty.
Alex placed the phone in Furina's hand and began to seriously teach her how to use it: "Here, take it and play with it. This is a touch screen. If you want to see something, just tap it with your finger. And then…"
"Oh, oh, these words… why have I never seen them before, but I somehow understand them?" Under Alex's guidance, Furina, who was already starting to get the hang of it, only then realized that the characters on the phone were completely unfamiliar, yet she knew what they meant.
It was a very strange feeling.
"Because you have a new skill, Chinese Proficiency. That is our language and writing," Alex explained, referring to the new skill in Furina's personal attributes.
But Furina shook her head, indicating she didn't see it.
Alex understood. Some things are more private; Furina, with secondary permission, still couldn't see or use them.
Well, that's actually fine. It's just like buying Fufu a new phone with incomplete functions.
With a thought, Alex's phone quietly hid itself in his soul or consciousness again.
"Ah!" Furina exclaimed when she saw the phone disappear.
Then, seeing the phone reappear in Alex's hand, she understood why.
"Well, it's a good thing. I've given you such a big, such a private permission," Alex opened the gacha interface and pointed to the ten-pull.
He placed the phone in Furina's hand: "Help, help, help! I'm too unlucky…" Thirty pulls without a gold, relying on pity.
Alex took a deep breath and moved a little further away from Furina, so as not to affect her luck: "You do it. I'm ready."
As the most unlucky person in a million, he wasn't worried at all as long as he had enough Primogems to hit pity.
He hoped Furina would pull a useful five-star pity, like a five-star Sword. Any Sword would do!
Please, no more Claymores. I'm scared!
"Hmm, I tap this, right?" Furina said, her index finger, gloved in white, pressed the ten-pull without any pressure.
