First on the list: the Qi Condensation Pill.
Bai Hao couldn't help but think back to where all his dreams began.
Battle Power, Third Stage!
Sure, it wasn't an emperor-grade elixir that could make him the Flame Emperor on the spot—but becoming a Dou Fighter wasn't a problem at all!
At the very least, he'd finally be able to beat up a few Treasure Hoarders!
Without hesitation, Bai Hao downed the pill.
Instantly, a blazing current surged from his dantian, rushing through his limbs and bones.
The medicinal power erupted—tempering his muscles, blood vessels, and meridians.
His body flushed crimson, veins bulging beneath his skin.
He gritted his teeth and endured as traces of black grime oozed from his pores.
The process lasted half an hour.
When the medicinal energy was fully absorbed, Bai Hao's body felt revitalized.
His limbs were lean and strong, abs defined into eight solid blocks, and even his face had sharpened into something strikingly handsome.
Unfortunately, he was covered in a foul, sticky layer of filth.
All the impurities that had built up over the years had been expelled.
So, Bai Hao dragged out his Super Deluxe Bathtub, filled it up using Roxy's Silent Water Magic, and jumped in for a proper wash.
When he stepped out, he felt completely reborn—refreshed, alert, and full of power.
Then he changed into Morax's Unmoving Profound Dark Robes,
drew the divine spear Kunwu, the Kunwu—The Rainbow Severing Sword, and struck a few stylish poses in front of the mirror.
If he walked down Liyue's main street like this, he'd probably be mobbed by legions of Morax fans begging for photos!
"…But damn, this thing's heavy."
He set the spear on the dining table and flexed his sore hands.
The Kunwu—The Rainbow Severing Sword—legend says it was forged by the master craftsman Kunwu, who spent ten years shaping it from a fallen meteor.
It was so overpowered that miHoYo had to remove it from the game entirely.
"MiHoYo, you scoundrels—may you never know peace!"
Still, divine weapons were divine for a reason. The spear weighed tons.
Even with his newfound strength—comparable to a one-star Dou Fighter capable of breaking boulders—he could barely swing it for more than a few moves, let alone unleash its true power.
The most immediate proof of that?
It snapped the dining table in half and nearly smashed straight through the floor.
If Bai Hao hadn't caught it in time, some poor soul in the restaurant lobby below might've become an "accidental audience member" in the worst possible way.
"Great. Now I'm broke too."
Leaving Wanmin Restaurant, Bai Hao shook his shriveled coin pouch and sighed.
When Xiangling and Guoba burst into his private room earlier, he'd already stuffed the spear, divine robes, and Keqing's black stockings safely into his system inventory.
Then he quickly switched into his spare set of Liyue clothes.
Though he'd managed to bluff his way past Xiangling without blowing his cover, the damages to the table and floor still had to be paid for.
And so, the Mora that Wife Shenhe had helped him loot from the Treasure Hoarders was now… basically gone.
He needed money—fast.
Should he cosplay the Geo Archon and charge fans for photos on the street?
Tempting, but too risky—the Millelith would probably "invite" him for tea at the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Not that he'd mind being interrogated by Wife Yelan, of course…
What about robbing the Northland Bank?
Nah—offending the Snezhnayan "comrades" was asking for trouble.
The Fatui bore grudges even worse than he did—and that bastard Childe was still in Liyue!
After much agonizing, Bai Hao sighed and reopened his Teyvat Fan-Creation Livestream System.
Even though he'd technically gone offline, the livestream room was still running—
and the chat was lively.
[Borlai: What kind of scam system is this?! It just docked me three million Mora for a wrong answer!]
[Dongsheng: Hahaha! Someone actually picked that one? Idiot!]
[Albert: My punishment is not being able to donate to Miss Barbara for a whole month… sob!]
[Celsius: I got it worse—it made me fight a Cryo Lawachurl!]
[Chang Jiuyé: Huff… that damned quiz made me run around Liyue Harbor once! That's hundreds of kilometers!]
[Sister Bao'er: I can't rob anyone for half a month. Forced unpaid leave!]
[Zheping: Lost a year of lifespan… guess even the gods don't notice me.]
[Anxi: There's no way anyone can actually get the right answer!]
The quiz event was open to everyone, but unlike the VIP room,
the normal version gave a thousand different answer options, unique to each participant.
Still, plenty of people tried their luck—after all, a one-in-a-thousand chance was better than winning the lottery!
And thus, countless unlucky souls were "rewarded" with punishments…
Of course, none of that concerned Bai Hao. Participation wasn't mandatory—
you gamble, you accept the loss.
He was here for something else entirely: to make money.
Opening the admin panel, Bai Hao scrolled down to "Mona CV Remix (Horse Disco Version)",
clicked "Enable Paid Download,"
set the price to 100 Mora,
and confirmed.
One hundred Mora—barely worth a single coin in the real world.
In the Genshin world, though, Mona could dine with the Traveler for twenty thousand Mora.
So 100 Mora? Totally affordable.
Bai Hao believed that with how catchy the remix was, plenty of people would pay to loop it and have a laugh.
"Want to watch? Then pay up, dear viewers!"
And thanks to the system's tight privacy controls, no one could "share" the content—
downloads were bound to each user's personal interface.
No one else could see your livestream feed,
nor could they tell whether you were watching… ahem, questionable material.
Perfect privacy. Zero piracy. Beautifully designed.
Satisfied, Bai Hao shut down the system.
"Lady Megistus," he murmured with a smirk, "let me squeeze out the last drop of value you've got left."
As for making new content—he'd wait until tomorrow.
After all, each person only generated emotional energy once per day.
Today's "harvest" was already complete, and Bai Hao wasn't the type to drain all his stock in one go.
You had to learn sustainable exploitation—like fishing the pond dry one scoop at a time!
Now then… what to do next?
Of course—test out that 2.1-billion-damage ultimate, Heavenly Earthquake!
That was the real highlight of today's gacha session.
Where should he try it out?
A mischievous grin tugged at Bai Hao's lips.
With the divine spear on his back and mischief in his heart,
he strolled leisurely toward Liyue Harbor's docks…
