Chapter 814: Chapter 814: Firefly Knight, Transform!

The level of "Elation" Aha was 236, far stronger than both "Hunt" and "Destruction."

If He fought Nolan with His true body, Nolan would still be able to win without much surprise, but it definitely wouldn’t be as easy. It might take him a few more seconds.

After all, Aha’s level was significantly higher than his.

Failing to find amusement in Nolan and instead finding amusement in Himself, Aha was quite pleased. As if nothing had happened, He even greeted Nolan and tried to befriend him.

Although Nolan didn’t have a good impression of this guy who went around looking for fun and ended up targeting him, he thought that as an Aeon, Aha should know quite a bit about the secrets among Aeons.

Compared to the others, Aha wasn’t as aloof, so Nolan took the opportunity to learn more about the Aeons.

It satisfied some of his curiosity.

Now that he had reached level 226, Nolan naturally wanted to continue to level 230, as that would grant him a new racial speciality.

However, it would take time for Asta and the others to locate places like Stellaron-contaminated zones that could provide large amounts of Adventure EXP, so Nolan decided to focus on raising the girls’ affection for the time being.

The easiest girl to raise affection with right now was actually Firefly. Since she had been bound by his "Command Seal," she had to obey him, making it relatively simple for him to spend time with her and increase her affection.

At the same time, he could also ask about their situation on the Xianzhou, since he had promised to help make amends for the mistakes made by Blade and his companions, the High-Cloud Quintet.

Of course, raising Firefly’s affection to the maximum would take several days, and Nolan couldn’t just spend all that time talking about that matter with her.

The best approach was naturally to have Firefly accompany him while he raised the affection of other girls, thereby improving his efficiency.

In Teyvat, there were still two girls with golden potential whose affection he hadn’t maxed out yet. One was Emilie from Fontaine, who was also a friend of Chiori and Chevreuse.

The other was a girl named Citlali, whom he had met in Natlan while accompanying Kirara on a delivery. She was rather disdainful of Nolan due to his playboy nature.

This was a good opportunity to raise her affection and make her realize she was wrong. Nolan thought with a hint of anticipation.

Of course, the real reason was that, like the other girls, she matched his aesthetic preferences quite well, and he wanted her to become his lover, which was why he was so proactive.

Having settled on his plan, Nolan wasted no time in taking action.

First, he used the "waymark" to summon Firefly back and asked her to accompany him to Teyvat. As expected, Firefly was unwilling.

But she had no choice. Due to the "Command Seal," she couldn’t refuse.

After that, Nolan went to Emilie under the pretense that Firefly wanted to learn some basic knowledge about perfume so she could mix fragrances for her own use.

Emilie naturally didn’t refuse the request of her friend and agreed to teach Firefly whenever she had time.

This allowed Nolan to stay by using the excuse of accompanying Firefly, gradually raising both of their affection levels.

Meanwhile, Firefly watched as Nolan had her cooperate with him in pursuing other girls, and her disdain for him grew even stronger.

The same went for Citlali. While Emilie was busy with work, Nolan would head to Natlan to find her, coming up with various excuses to stay near her.

Since he had only met her once before, arranging another meeting wasn’t difficult. Whether by coincidence or some casual excuse, it was easy enough.

If he wanted to stay by her side for a longer time, he needed a reasonable excuse, otherwise it would arouse her suspicion.

After learning that Citlali was skilled in divination, the excuse Nolan used was naturally to ask her to perform readings for him.

And each time, in order to stay longer and gain more affection, he deliberately asked her to divine matters that were difficult but still within the realm of possibility.

At the beginning, it was a bit troublesome, but as time passed and their familiarity grew, even if Nolan had nothing in particular to ask, just coming to see Citlali no longer bothered her.

It became much easier to stay by her side for extended periods.

Eventually, when their affection reached a certain level, if he didn’t visit her often enough, she would even complain about it.

In this way, after about another week, Nolan gradually maxed out the affection of these girls using this method.

And he obtained their affection skills.

The first was naturally Firefly’s, since she had been accompanying him the entire time while he was with Emilie and Citlali.

So her affection was the fastest to max out, and the skill he obtained was quite special:

[Transformation: Firefly Knight: Transform into the Firefly Knight, gaining a set of indestructible knight armor. While transformed, all abilities receive an independent, all-around boost equal to "the sum of both parties’ levels" percent.]

This was a transformation-type skill. After transforming into the "Firefly Knight," any ability he used would receive a massive enhancement.

Moreover, the armor he wore had the property of being "indestructible."

No matter how powerful the physical impact, it wouldn’t be damaged or deformed, and it was unaffected by extreme temperatures. It essentially granted immunity to both physical and energy-based attacks, making it extremely powerful.

Emilie’s Affection Skill was also impressive:

[Perfume Detective: When activated, can distinguish any scent and obtain detailed information about the target through smell. Perfumes created can provide various buffs or debuffs depending on their fragrance, up to a maximum of "the sum of both parties’ levels" percent.]

It was highly versatile, capable of gathering information while also providing buffs and debuffs. However, the specific effects of a perfume would only be known after it was created.

Of course, Nolan didn’t need to make the perfumes himself, as he wasn’t knowledgeable in that field.

After obtaining this Affection Skill, Emilie also gained the same ability, meaning the perfumes she created would carry these effects.

Whenever needed, Nolan could simply go to her to obtain them, without having to spend time researching it himself.

Finally, there was Citlali’s skill:

[Auspicious Day: One random day each month becomes an "Auspicious Day." On that day, your luck will never be negative and will be greatly increased. Everything you do will go exceptionally smoothly. In any probabilistic activity, outcomes favorable to you increase by "the sum of both parties’ levels" percent. Any probability below 1% is fixed at 1%.]

Simply put, Citlali’s Affection Skill allowed Nolan to have one day each month where his luck was maxed out, making everything he did incredibly smooth.

He could even stumble upon divine artifacts while walking down the street.

After all, even if the probability of finding such an item was one in countless trillions, anything below 1% would automatically be raised to 1%.
