I sat in my office, smoking the last of my cigarette. The rain outside drizzled endlessly, casting blurry shadows on the wet windowpane from the streetlights. Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a woman in a black trench coat walked in.
“Sir, I need a complete dossier on Eunice.” She slapped a photo on the desk—a woman wielding a long-handled weapon with a piercing gaze.
I nodded and began flipping through the files. Eunice, a soon-to-be-released five-star polearm character in Genshin Impact. Her power comes from Shironeko’s Glory, a fiery long-handled weapon. I knew the resources required to cultivate such a character.
“Start from the beginning.”
I took a deep drag on my cigarette and began.
First, leveling up from 0 to 90. Each level requires specific materials. The various stages of Moldable Star Crystals—fragments, chunks, pieces, and complete crystals—are the basics. Luminescent Mushrooms are a specialty of the Natlan region, growing in damp environments and requiring careful search. Then there’s the Sourcestone Brazier, obtainable by defeating a Level 30 or higher Ruin Drake.
“Doesn’t sound easy.”
“Just the beginning.” I stubbed out my cigarette and continued, “Talent advancement requires the Conflict series of talent books, found in the Hidden Chambers of Pyro. The Abyssal Sun also requires defeating the Abyssal Sun’s Source. Each step is like solving a puzzle.”
Her eyes sparkled with interest. “Continue.”
The weapon materials were the most complex. Shironeko’s Glory requires sacrifices at different stages—Anxiety, Hesitation, Determination, and Pride. These can be obtained by defeating specific enemies. Frostbearer Cayotes and their drops, along with other materials, are like racing against time.
“Seems like a marathon.”
I nodded. “Eunice’s ascension materials include various Moldable Star Crystals, Sourcestone Braziers, and plenty of Luminescent Mushrooms. Each ascension requires precise calculation, no room for error.”
She stood and walked to the window. “I need a detailed list of these materials.”
I handed her the organized list, detailing each material’s quantity and acquisition method, like a map to solving a puzzle.
“Cost?”
“Approximately 7,050,100 Mora.” I replied, “Using Treabar’s recharge can give you discounts, like 3% off.”
She glanced at me. “You know Treabar?”
I nodded. “It’s the safest option.”
She grabbed her coat and headed for the door. “Thanks, detective.”
“Be careful.” I warned, “In Genshin Impact, resources are never the only challenge.”
The door creaked open again, and the rain grew louder. I watched her disappear into the downpour, knowing this was just the beginning. In this journey to uncover Eunice, many secrets remained hidden.
