Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 10: Amber's Treasure: Fried Carrots with Honey Sauce
The library is brightly lit and quiet.

Amber was stopped by Mr. Virag as soon as she came out of Captain Qin's office. She heard that a young man from Liyue was looking for her and was waiting in the library.

Knowing who it was, Amber walked into the library with her legs in over-the-knee white boots.

Looking around the second floor, I didn't see anyone.

The rabbit ears on her head swayed, and the soles of her mid-heeled boots seemed to strike out pleasant notes when they touched the ground. She walked down the wooden stairs and saw Li Qiuzhi in a corner.

He seemed to be concentrating on reading at this moment and did not notice Amber's approach.

Amber raised the corners of her mouth and smiled silently and cunningly, using the cover of the bookshelf to quietly go behind the young man.

He stretched out his right hand, just about to scare him.

Li Qiuzhi was so absorbed in reading that he had almost forgotten the original purpose of coming to the Knights. At this moment, a sweet fragrance wafted into his nose, interrupting his reading state.

Li Qiuzhi was not unfamiliar with this scent, it seemed to be the scent of Amber.

Is she coming?

Thinking of this, Li Qiuzhi turned his head naturally, and suddenly a white hand poked his cheek.

Soft and slightly warm.

"Uh." Amber was stunned for a moment and then took her hand back. She smiled awkwardly behind her back and said, "I wanted to pat your shoulder to scare you, but I didn't expect you to turn around."

Li Qiuzhi certainly didn't care, but still joked:
"It's okay. This is the first time I see the lively and enthusiastic Miss Amber so... um... so embarrassed, haha."

“Hey, you!

"Forget it. I heard from Mr. Virag outside that you were looking for me. What's the matter?"

The two had known each other for a month and were quite familiar with each other. It was just a joke, and Amber quickly got rid of the awkwardness on her face and got to the point.

"Oh, by the way, didn't I borrow your Mora? Now I'm returning it to you."

Li Qiuzhi took out a cloth bag with a rope from his waist, which contained Moras of different denominations, a total of exactly 35,000 Moras.

After all, he didn't have any gaming backpack to store the items in, so he could only put them in a cloth bag like ordinary people.

"Eh? No need." Amber was a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Qiuzhi to come to pay back the money. At that time, she said it was a loan, but in fact, she thought in her heart that she didn't have to pay it back. "You still need Mora in your life now, so keep it for now."

"That won't do. I am now a hunter with a source of income, and I cannot allow myself to not pay back the Mora I owe you."

Li Qiuzhi grabbed Amber's wrist and forcefully stuffed Mora into her hand.

".Well, okay." Amber smiled and did not refuse.

[Amber has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 50 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.2 (10/200)]

A prompt sound appeared in Li Qiuzhi's mind. Amber's favorability towards him increased again. At Lv. 2, it should be considered a relatively familiar relationship.

Before this, we had just met in the Whispering Forest, and our impression of each other had increased a few times over the course of a month through our occasional encounters.

Now, because of Li Qiuzhi's persistence in his principles, Amber once again appreciates him and improves his favorability towards him.

After a long period of exploration, Li Qiuzhi also figured out the mechanism for gaining favorability.

In terms of general personal psychology, a person's good impression of another stranger comes from the first impression. Just like when Li Qiuzhi met Amber, he was not a bad person. The enthusiastic Amber found that he needed help. It was normal for her to have a good impression of him after the first acquaintance.

After getting to know each other, if it is not a one-time encounter but you can meet occasionally or frequently, then the two people will naturally become familiar with each other without having to do anything. As the mutual understanding deepens, the goodwill will naturally increase.

Of course, the premise is that Li Qiuzhi does not do anything that Amber hates in this natural process.

Li Qiuzhi guessed that Amber was still in the stage of getting to know him. As time went by and they had more contact, he didn't need to do anything deliberately, and Amber would sooner or later regard him as a friend.

But, this is where it ends. If you want to get the blessing of her constellation, you need more than just friends.

Li Qiuzhi needs to actively look for opportunities to interact with Amber. With time, the quality of their relationship will sooner or later evolve.

As an ordinary person, he just needs to get along with others in a normal way. He cannot act too anxious, otherwise Amber will dislike him and all his efforts will be wasted.

Amber put away Mora, noticed the book on the table and asked curiously:
"Do you want to learn the art of Zephyr Sword?"

"Yes. If you want to travel the continent of Teyvat and become a powerful adventurer, you can't just know a little bit of archery."

Li Qiuzhi happily talked about his future development direction.

"That's a good idea." Amber nodded and sat down on a chair beside her. "It's a pity that I'm not very good at swordsmanship, otherwise I could teach you... Well, there is a training ground behind the Knights, with all kinds of equipment. You can go there to practice swordsmanship."

"Okay, I'm also worried about having no place to practice."

Li Qiuzhi was very familiar with the training ground behind the Knights. It was the place where a little girl named Irene often asked travelers how to knock down several wooden stakes in a short time.

"By the way, to thank Ms. Amber for helping me, I would like to invite you to have dinner at the Deer Hunter restaurant. You probably haven't had dinner yet at this time."

Li Qiuzhi looked at Amber with sincere eyes and said.

This invitation was reasonable. After all, Amber had really helped him a lot. There was nothing wrong with inviting him to dinner. Moreover, treating someone to dinner was a rare opportunity to improve their favorability and should not be missed.

"It is the duty of the Knights of Favonius to provide assistance to those in need. How can I ask for anything in return? Just treat me to a meal."

Amber shook her head in denial.

"Actually, I have something else I want to ask you for help with, and I've heard that the fried carrots with honey sauce at the Deer Hunter are delicious. How about we talk about it while we're having dinner?"

Li Qiuzhi used the treasure against Amber "without leaving a trace".

"Honey-sauce carrot fried meat!" Amber's fair neck moved slightly, her eyes brightened, and then she said calmly, "Since you need my help, there is no other way. Let's go now."

[Amber has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 50 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.2 (60/200)]

"Well, I'll put the book back first."

Li Qiuzhi smiled and put the book "Fundamentals of West Wind Swordsmanship" which could not be registered for borrowing temporarily back to its original place on the bookshelf.

As expected, eating and giving gifts are all techniques to increase favorability. Now that it’s almost reached Lv.3, we should be considered friends. After all, the feeling I give people now is quite familiar.

When I arrived at the Knights' Order, the sun was still setting. When I left, the sky was dark and night had already fallen.
