章節 334: Chapter 334: A Parting Gift
A 166% boost to all attributes! That's approximately a 1.66x increase. To put this in perspective with his mental threads:
Originally, their range was fifty kilometers with a strength of twenty-five tons. After applying the 166% boost, these figures would reach—around eighty-three kilometers and forty-one tons of strength.
This kind of enhancement could more than double his combat power! And it could weaken enemies as well.
Assume an enemy's overall combat power is ten. After being reduced by 166%, it would drop to six, a nearly 40% reduction.
With him becoming stronger while the opponent weakened—
Unless the opponent had extraordinary abilities like his, even an adeptus weakened by 40% should fall easily to him! Of course, adepti have many skills, so without an actual battle, this is just speculation and not a guarantee.
However, if he'd had this skill back during the Dragonspine mountain incident, defeating that "Doctor's" segment would have been a breeze!
Additionally, this ability is an area effect, meaning it can be used not just by him but for others as well. Though it currently only supports up to 166 allies, that is more than enough.
In case of any major situation, finding Zhongli and giving him a 1.66x boost in all attributes might mean he could take on all Seven Archons single-handedly.
Overall, this ability is exceptionally powerful.
The only downside is its range limitation.
It must be within Jean's jurisdiction or within approximately sixteen kilometers around her for Nolan to activate the ability.
Each condition has its pros and cons.
The first condition—Jean's jurisdiction—is naturally Mondstadt. The advantage is its wide coverage, as the effect applies anywhere in Mondstadt. However, it wouldn't work outside of Mondstadt.
After all, he can't conquer all of Teyvat and place it under Jean's rule.
The second condition—"within sixteen kilometers around Jean"—has a smaller range compared to all of Mondstadt. However, Jean can move, so as long as she's nearby, the effect works wherever they go.
In Teyvat, aside from Archon-level battles, most battlefields aren't large enough to span sixteen kilometers.
It's not like they're waging interstellar wars.
Thus, for daily use, this is more than sufficient. Thinking this way, the limitation doesn't seem like a real drawback. It's actually quite excellent!
After studying his newly acquired ability, Nolan teleported to Liyue Harbor. In Liyue Harbor, the only people with a "waymark" connection were Yun Jin and Hu Tao.
Shenhe was in Mt. Aocang, not in Liyue Harbor.
Since Yun Jin was busy rehearsing, it wouldn't be appropriate to disturb her.
That left Hu Tao, who was always full of energy. When she heard Nolan was coming over, she was overjoyed and urged him to hurry.
Without any hesitation, Nolan moved to a secluded corner and activated "Interstellar Travel," disappearing from where he stood.
With a shift in space, and no particular sensation, Nolan found himself in the main hall of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Before he could even take in his surroundings, a pale hand, its fingernails painted abyssal black, suddenly rested on his shoulder.
At the same time—
A familiar female voice rang out beside his ear:
"Boo!"
Nolan's face darkened as he grabbed the hand on his shoulder and flicked Hu Tao's forehead in one swift motion.
"Ouch, let go already!"
Hu Tao tried to break free, but how could she match Nolan's strength? She could only watch helplessly as her forehead received a flick.
"Ah!"
Hu Tao yelped in pain and finally pulled her hand away, but all she could do now was cover her forehead and sulk.
"Are you still a child or what…"
Nolan said with exasperation.
"Hmph, trying to scare me? You're a hundred years too early for that!"
Compared to the mischievous and playful Hu Tao, her flustered expression was indeed more adorable.
"Ugh, why did you use so much force? Look, my forehead's all red!"
Hu Tao brushed her bangs aside, revealing smooth, fair skin, and pouted angrily.
"Alright, I'm going to Yuehai Pavilion to see Ningguang. Do you want to come along?"
Nolan rubbed her forehead as he spoke.
"Of course I'm going. And stop touching me... idiot!"
Hu Tao's face flushed as she quickly slapped Nolan's hand away. She then glanced around casually, relaxing only after confirming that no one was watching.
Having her head patted like a child by this guy nearly undermined her dignity as the Hall Master!
Yet, after pushing his hand away, an unexpected twinge of reluctance stirred in her heart.
Hmph, it must be an illusion!
[Hu Tao Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 210 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv. 6 (400/600)]
Not bad at all.
Nolan glanced at the affection notification and smiled as he changed the subject:
"Haha, sorry. I'm not sure if Ningguang is available right now or if we need an appointment. Let's head to Yuehai Pavilion and find out."
"Hmph, let's go. We'll take the bike there!"
Hu Tao huffed, quickly forgetting the earlier annoyance as she strode toward the entrance.
Her easy-going nature meant she didn't mind the occasional setback.
She'd just play twice as many pranks on Nolan later!
"Alright, then. Let me give you a ride."
Nolan, unaware of what was going on in her mind, followed her and added with a grin:
"Riding a bike, enjoying the cool summer breeze, with a cute girl hugging me from behind—this has always been a dream scene of mine. Please, make this wish come true!"
He clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture.
"Just bullied the Hall Master and now you want things to go your way? Not a chance," Hu Tao said, stopping in her tracks and crossing her arms as she glared at him. "And I won't be hugging you!"
"Alright, if that's the case, I'll have to trouble Hall Master Hu to give me a ride instead."
Nolan said, pretending not to mind.
"Fine, fine! This Hall Master will give you a lift!"
Hu Tao, wearing her shorts that caught the sunlight and made her legs seem to glimmer, stood at the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. She pulled out a bicycle from her Vision and swung her leg over it.
Then, she motioned for Nolan to hop on the back seat.
He nodded and followed her instructions. Being given a ride by a cute girl was just as good.
"Off we go!"
With a flick of her small shoe, Hu Tao got the pedal spinning, then paused to build up a bit of force before kicking off. The bicycle, with both of them aboard, sped forward!
The passersby on the street were already accustomed to seeing Hall Master Hu Tao riding what was called a "bicycle."
Not long ago, some specialty shops had started displaying bicycles for people to try.
After trying them, customers were asked to share their feedback with the shop staff, noting any pros and cons to help improve the product.
Rumor had it that this invention was linked to Lady Tianquan, Ningguang, and might soon be sold as a regular product.
A new mode of transportation that could carry two people and facilitate travel naturally piqued everyone's interest. After all, with a bicycle, commuting to work or dropping off kids at school would become much more convenient, saving plenty of time.
It was safe to say that many in Liyue Harbor were eager to purchase a bicycle.
When it officially went on sale, assuming the price was reasonable, it would undoubtedly be a hit!
