Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

"I also saw wild fruit on the ground. I was about to fly over and pick it up when the withered leaves on it suddenly moved, which startled me!"

Tina: "It must be a creature like a dead leaf butterfly, which disguises itself as a leaf to avoid predators."

"It probably saw you flying in the sky and mistook you for some kind of bird. When it saw you flying over, it tried to run away, but it didn't expect you to be even more timid than it."

"Alright, I've set up the tent. You guys rest here for a bit, I'll go find something to eat."

[Ying: You're so reliable, Tinari, unlike some others who only know how to eat.]

Paimon: It's like you started the fire.

[Arataki Kazuto: That's so stupid. Flying Dwarf Viola, you'll know if a mushroom is edible just by taking a bite.]

[Kuki Shinobu: (facepalm)...]

[Kaiya: This one is even more of a heavyweight]

Charlotte: I really want to interview him... how he's survived this long.

[Kujou Sara: One has to admire the incredible vitality of the Oni race]

on the screen.

Just as Tinari was about to set off to find food, the mechanical crab unexpectedly brought back several peas and spices.

Tinari: "Hmm? You've already found me."

Ying (hands on hips): "It feels more useful than Paimon."

Paimon (stomping his foot): "Hey!"

It shook twice, "Gurgle!"

"This time I understand, it wants mechanical parts."

"Sorry, not this time."

Upon hearing that there were no mechanical parts, the crab made a rather strange gesture, as if expressing its dissatisfaction, "Gurgle?"

Then he lay down on the ground, looking very aggrieved.

Tinari explained that he didn't want it to give off any opportunistic ideas, so he would wait until it had done something important before giving it all at once.

As it turned out, Yingmei ruthlessly exposed that there weren't many parts left.

Tina scratched his head awkwardly.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to get a part for the mechanical crab.

It instantly regained its energy.

[Cole: I never knew Master Tinari had this side to him]

[Falushan: The younger generation's research is quite interesting. Which junior came up with this?] (A centenarian joins the chat room)

[Kavi: It seems it can only understand things related to mechanical parts.]

[Furina: Isn't that strange? It's not broken, and it won't change the parts even when we offer to. So why is it collecting parts?]

Wendy: I ​​guess its owner was pre-programmed.

After assigning the night watch duties, Tinari told Luminous and Paimon to go to sleep first.

Paimon, perhaps due to the influence of the ley lines, quickly fell asleep.

Ying couldn't sleep well, so she got up and went to switch shifts with Tina.

Stepping out of the tent, I noticed that Tinari was staring intently into the distance, seemingly wary of the mechanical crab. Could it be that he already knew something?

Ying decided to go and ask.

Chapter 53 The Unstoppable Extraction Device

Tina's reaction was very sharp; he noticed Ying as soon as she came out.

After chatting for a while, Ying brought up the mechanical crab.

Tinari replied, "It was just running around over there a moment ago, and now it's disappeared somewhere."

Ying: "Are you on guard against it?"

"You noticed, but rather than being wary of it, you're more wary of its unseen owner."

"Such a large-scale ley line leakage occurred without any warning, which is very likely because someone disrupted the rules of ley line flow."

"It's best to be careful until we've investigated thoroughly. The Order of the Church has banned research on mechanical life forms for several years now, and the origins of these guys are highly suspicious."

Ying was somewhat puzzled, "Why would the Order of the Church abolish this type of research?"

“Research on mechanical life was once very popular in the Sulun school, and several of my juniors also devoted themselves to related research.”

"They put forward a very attractive idea: to use knowledge to create a 'new, useful' form of life to help humanity conquer nature."

"But no matter how you change the modules, machines are essentially still receiving and executing instructions, and cannot have autonomous consciousness like humans."

"In an effort to explore the difference between mechanical and natural life, fervent scholars conducted unrestricted live dissections of animals, resulting in extremely cruel experiments, and the study of mechanical life was also abandoned."

Wendy: Sigh, when it comes to nature, it's all about conquering. Can't we just coexist peacefully?

[Kaeya: In other words, the intention was good, but the methods were too extreme.]

Diluc: Should I say I'm not surprised at all? The Commandments, live experiments.

[Ying: Why do I feel like the scholars from the Order of the Fathers are different from the scholars I had in mind?]

[Falusian: This young junior, it's not right for you to generalize and condemn everyone like that. Back in our time... (goes on and on)]

[Paimon: This person is so talkative, and why does she always act like a senior?]

Back to the video.

Tina said with some helplessness, "It's ridiculous, but later scholars have become more and more impetuous. In a few years, this kind of topic might be unbanned again."

"Doesn't Tinari like this kind of research?"

Tinari pondered for a moment, "Hmm...that's a difficult question to answer. I'm interested in mechanical life itself."

"But I didn't like the attitude of those scholars at the time."

"What, is the idea of ​​conquering nature wrong?"

Tinari began to recount the past, “My ancestors once lived alongside the ‘Barokashinas’ from the desert, helping and supporting each other. Our bloodline is also based on this symbiotic relationship.”

"Therefore, in my view, all life is important. The first prerequisite for understanding life is respecting life."

"Life is not a consumable, and knowledge should not be a crown or a scepter. This is what I find objectionable to some scholars, and it is also the reason why I left the Council of the Church."

"Can one truly achieve anything by placing oneself above other life forms and studying pure life with impure motives?"

[Zhongli: That's true. How should the lives born from cruel live experiments cope with their circumstances?]

[Coley: So that's why Master Tinari didn't want to take a position at the Dalai Lama.]

[Falushan: This junior's thinking is very insightful.]

[Skirmisher: ...]

on the screen.

The mechanical crab we were talking about earlier, it turns out it went to make coffee for Tina.

Of course, its purpose was not to make the Tinari more at ease during the night watch, but to obtain the reward of mechanical parts.

When it comes to mechanical parts, it can think independently, but that's all it can do.

"Since you've worked so hard to help, I can give you another one."

Tina still suggested replacing it, as he could see that many parts of the mechanical crab were broken and its energy was almost depleted.

But the latter still shook his head, "Gurgle gurgle."

More and more mysteries surround it.

The two took turns, and Tinari went to rest. Let's think about these mysteries tomorrow.

the next day.

They had agreed to take turns keeping watch, but Paimon slept like a log until dawn.

"I'm sorry, I slept all night."

Ying didn't mind; she was used to it.

[Paimon: Traveler, why don't you say anything? You could at least insult me...]

[Ying: Looks like my future self is already used to it, sigh... Family, does anyone understand?]

[Furina: So why did you two travel together?]

[Yae no Miko: Little Paimon just needs to be cute.]

A short while later, Tina also woke up.

After discussing it, everyone realized that they were starting to feel unwell, so it was more important to get going as soon as possible.

Tinari packed up the tent, Paimon put out the fire, and Yingmei retrieved the insect repellent device.

"The further you go, the more monsters you'll likely encounter, so try to conserve your energy."

The mechanical crab carried the three of them deeper into the forest.

Upon reaching a cave, it suddenly stopped and warned the people behind it, "Gurgle gurgle."

Tina found a Sumeru rose to examine, and the flower's brightness had increased to another level.

It seems this is the source of the contaminated area.

Stepping into the cave, it increasingly resembled a research base.

They walked to the most conspicuous device, a cylindrical extraction device, which was clearly full of energy.

With each step closer, my body became increasingly uncomfortable.

Tinaly circled around and began to analyze.

"The energy of the earth's veins overflows from here. This device... is extracting energy from the earth's veins, and it's extracting it endlessly."

"Who did this? Didn't they consider the consequences before doing such a thing? By constantly disrupting the flow of the earth's veins like this, the earth's veins can't even repair themselves."
