The big things here seems to do be quality of life improvements for targetting enemies: much better combat perception (though having a B rank skill and D wit is ehhh), much farther effective range, better synergy with his wood techs, and a nova tech.

Now, we voted to help Zhengui develop his Blazing Blood abilities. And they really seem to have improved, with a whole new tech "Paradise Forge." First off, let's talk about Blood Boiling Venom, which can now be applied to his Paradise Bedrock technique. This is wonderful in my opinion because Paradise Bedrock enables more attacks, which means more chances to tag people with his venom. And given that Hanyi can reduce the avoid of opponents with a successful hit, that means a lot more people getting tagged with more venom.

Volcanic Stone Shell gets some more clarification and added bonuses. Coming in at C rank damage for opponents who think that hitting Zhengui in melee is a good idea and E rank fire damage in very close, Zhengui is going to be a monster in close-quarters combat, which, conveniently, Hanyi can provide.

But the new tech takes the cake. Paradise Forge continues the trend of techs that Zhengui is a tropical Volcano that will obstruct opponents in difficult to get through jungles and smother them in lava. Furthermore, I just think that Paradise Forge is a really cool name. But back on topic about why I like Paradise Forge so much, well, we've seen what it can do. It destroyed the hill Zhengui had been practicing on and seems like it could do a ton of damage, especially if an opponent is within the sweet spot of close range, or tries to flee the initial eruption but doesn't get far enough. Because then it can hit them twice.

Paradise Forge additionally has a very nice bonus against people who are touching the ground when the tech goes off. While not particularly useful against the flighty Cloud Barbarians, it will be immediately useful against the Gnawing Ones who seem to live their entire lives in the ground or at least touching the ground. And, we'll be heading into the Corrupted Caverns this month. Hopefully, we'll have a chance to see Zhengui pull this tech out and devastate the Gnawing Ones who try to attack our party. While it'll be expensive for him, he has qi regen and we can provide him with some more qi regen through our domain.

All in all, I'm really liking the additions that our spirits got, and I am going to be excited to see them in action under the earth when we go on our trip.

Speaking of Zhengui's improved Arts, his Boiling Shot is now C rank and works at Far range instead of Close. Also now Spray is just alternate mode to Boiling Shot, it don't have number of targets limit anymore and works at Very Close instead of Near range. I believe cloud barbs would love this particular improvements. :V

Edit: Huh, i was ninjaed a bit.:ninja:

Sure, why not. Also knowing how this industry works can valuable information later on.

I just like my mental image of the path this sets Hanyi on since Yukiona Idoru just sounds so cool as a concept in this magical world.

[X] Reassure Hanyi that you'll find another way for her to help. [Better negotiating position in Zhengui arrangement. Avoids further entanglements with Bao Qian. Sad Hanyi.]

My negotiating position!
 
I'd rather give Hanyi her own allowance rather than pretend to her that her songs are actually profitable. Or again, if the issue is that Hanyi wants to contribute, rather than Hanyi wants some spending money, then I'd rather that she actually contribute rather than us just pretending she's contributing while we pay Bao Qian off to go along with our spirit's delusions.

Remember that little sabotage mission for the crafters? So the crafter on the council who was working as co-spymaster could get a better position? Asking Ling Qi to use her skulking skills is exactly the kind of favor she can reasonably expect. To spy on someone, or betray the trust of someone she does not care for, or steal from someone.

You mean the thing where LQ could have told him to go fuck himself with zero consequences? That thing? Because that's what it boiled down to. We just chose not to do that.
