Genshin Impact: I'm The Envoy of Snezhnaya
Chapter 320: A New Skill Card
Actually, during the earlier battle, this crappy system had already been yelling itself hoarse, warning Bai Luo about a system error.
But at the time, Bai Luo was busy fighting and completely ignored it, so it eventually quieted down.
Now that the fight was over, and the prince from the Abyss had left with his subordinates, the system once again began its tireless notifications.
"Usually you're dead silent no matter how much I call you. Now this is when you suddenly find your voice," Bai Luo complained under his breath, though he still opened the system prompt.
So far, this thing was one of his biggest lifelines. He didn't want to lose his current power because of some system error.
[System Notification: Exclusive Equipment — Tyrant's Right Hand has been detected with abnormal values due to unknown reasons. The system will reclaim this Exclusive Equipment for maintenance. During the maintenance period, please refrain from using Tyrant's Right Hand.]
"..."
The system phrased it vaguely, but Bai Luo knew exactly what that so-called bug was referring to—it was the fact that he could use Void Tyrant skills while using other classes.
He'd only enjoyed it a few times! And now this trash system wanted to take it back?
As if he would agree to that.
"What abnormal values? This is called a game feature!"
Before the system could start the reclamation process, Bai Luo immediately switched the Reverse Blade Sword in his hand to Tyrant's Right Hand.
Even though he'd only used it twice, the convenience this equipment brought him was already crystal clear. There was no way he'd give it up so easily.
It was practically like having the skills of two classes at once—its impact on his overall strength was anything but minor. Used properly, it could even serve as a hidden trump card.
[Abnormal values may introduce unknown risks to this equipment. Please unequip it and submit it to the system for maintenance.]
A red exclamation mark appeared in Bai Luo's field of vision. The system was clearly trying to pressure him into submission.
Unfortunately for it, the system still didn't understand Bai Luo's nature.
"Fine, then promise me you'll fix the Black Swordsman's Sonic Impact first!"
Protecting his crystallized right hand, Bai Luo made a counteroffer.
There was a saying: fight magic with magic.
You want to fix the 'bug' that lets me use Void skills with other classes? Sure. But you fix the 'game feature' in my skill first—otherwise, I'm not letting go.
[...That belongs to a skill trait and cannot be maintained.]
"Well, what a coincidence—this also belongs to a skill trait. Either you fix both, or you fix neither. Otherwise… I'm not handing it over!"
Bai Luo said shamelessly, clutching his right hand.
Did he really not want the system to maintain the equipment?
Not exactly. He knew very well that he couldn't keep this Exclusive Equipment forever. The moment he switched weapons, the system would definitely sneak it away for maintenance at the first opportunity. At best, it would apologize afterward—compensation was out of the question.
So he might as well demand some benefits upfront.
His real goal was negotiation.
Want to fix this bug? Fine. But you're going to give me something in return.
Even games give compensation for updates. You're maintaining my equipment—how can you not give me something?
[When the equipment enters maintenance, you will be granted one random skill card. Until maintenance is complete, the skill card may be used an unlimited number of times, lasting until Tyrant's Right Hand is fully repaired.]
After being with Bai Luo for so long, the system clearly understood his "no reward, no cooperation" personality.
To fix the bug as soon as possible, it really went all out this time.
An unlimited-use skill card…
That was even stronger than directly granting Bai Luo the skill itself.
For example, Bai Luo still had one remaining use of Aimless Journey to the Abandoned Station. That ultimate move was something that had been released entirely by that old—well—honest and simple seventeen-year-old girl herself.
Even Raiden Shogun had been smashed into a dazed mess by it.
If Bai Luo were the one to use it, there was absolutely no way he could achieve the same level of steadiness, precision, and ruthlessness as she did!
"Alright then. Let me take a look at what reward I got first."
[Reward extraction in progress...]
[Because you previously obtained Exclusive Equipment from certain classes, the probability of drawing skills from those classes has increased by 30%.]
"..."
Hearing this line from the system, Bai Luo suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Because earlier, he had once drawn Shiroyasha's Toyako Lake.
If he ended up drawing one of his skills this time…
If it were something like the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon, he could still accept it. Sure, it might look indecent, but in terms of practicality it was far more powerful than the Black Swordsman's quantum teleportation.
But if the system gave him something like complaining or flicking boogers instead…
Forget it. Relax. Go with the flow.
[Extraction successful!]
[Skill card obtained — Road Roller Da!]
[Please complete the exchange using the equipment Tyrant's Right Hand within ten minutes.]
"..."
Bai Luo had originally been thinking that if he really drew Shiroyasha's skill, he might have to lodge a protest.
Who would have thought that the system would be this generous? It straight up dropped a bombshell on him.
"Excuse me, can I permanently give up Tyrant's Right Hand and keep this skill card instead?"
The equipment that Bai Luo had treasured just moments ago instantly lost all his affection.
Pulling a sword from his chest?
Sure, that move was pretty great—but as long as he switched back to the Void Tyrant class, he could still do it anyway.
But this skill card… Bai Luo felt it was even more tempting than Aimless Journey to the Abandoned Station!
[Sorry, this is a temporary skill card and cannot be kept permanently.]
Unfortunately, the system's response shattered his beautiful fantasy with a fatal blow.
Which made sense. A skill card like this was far more broken than normal class skills. If it could be kept permanently… the consequences were simply unimaginable.
[Road Roller Da!]
By borrowing the power of a certain blond vampire, all units within a specified range are subjected to time stop for five seconds.
Targets affected by time stop take 70% reduced damage from all sources except the holder.
The mysterious blond vampire disappears for 1.5 seconds, retrieves a road roller from another world, and then descends from the sky, dealing physical damage to enemies within the area.
Afterward, he unleashes MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA! on the road roller. All enemies pinned beneath it will receive an equal amount of physical damage.
Note: Please avoid entering the time-stop area yourself. Once this guy gets hyped, he might beat you up too.
Usable times: Unlimited (Temporary)
The crystallized right hand gradually faded away, replaced by a card printed with the image of a road roller.
Compared to the vampire in the original work, this skill had been somewhat nerfed—for example, time stop now affected only an area rather than the entire world.
However, judging by how the skill interacted with this world… perhaps even the Seven Archon would be affected by this time stop.
