The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

After being ravaged by Ruoduo and Oser, and with the restoration of the embers, Qingxupu had now become a wide and flat plain.

New buds and trees are growing vigorously here, creating a vibrant scene.

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

On the green open ground, the young master wielded a shovel that moved swiftly forward, leaving afterimages in its wake.

Behind him was a very wide and brand-new river channel.

The young master wiped the sweat from his forehead with his almost cramping arm and let out a deep breath.

When exactly did things turn out this way? The young master pondered. That's right, it was when Keqing showed him the design plans for the new dam.

Osel carved a new river channel across the land, traversing this vast plain.

After their investigation, Qixing realized that the newly renovated Qingxupu was a good place to grow things. So, to facilitate irrigation, they designed a new dam.

Before building the dam, the river's water needed to be diverted. Ke Qing surveyed the area for a long time and finally found low-lying areas on both sides of the river.

A low-lying area large enough to withstand the flow of a great river for several months. This time is enough for Liyue, with its elemental power and alchemy, to build a brand new dam.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of constructing the water diversion channel naturally falls on the shoulders of Liyue's two existing excellent "farming machines".

The left bank of the river is under your care, young master; as for the right bank…

The young master looked across the river to the other side, where the soil was churning and flying, as if something was digging rapidly into the earth.

In the dark brown soil, you can vaguely see a mushroom head swaying up and down—that's a straggler who has taken off his straw hat.

"Brother! I've brought you something delicious!" A boy wearing a beanie and dressed in a style completely out of place in Liyue ran over from a distance.

Behind him were Ying and Paimon.

"Tok, slow down!" the young master shouted as he saw his younger brother running towards him from afar.

The young master felt a terrible headache just thinking about his unruly younger brother. He actually managed to hide on a cargo ship and travel all the way from Winter Solstice to Liyue!

When the young master learned of this news from Qixing, his first reaction was that Qixing had deliberately kidnapped Tok from Zhidong in order to monitor and warn him.

However, after being met with disdain from Keqing and Ningguang, and with Tok's own explanation, the young prince finally accepted the fact that Tok had gone to Liyue on his own.

Then Keqing added a circle to the design drawing, saying that there were important ancient relics in the middle of the original diversion channel, and it was necessary to detour to protect them.

Seeing this, the young master had no choice but to endure it. He had originally considered escaping, but now that Tok had arrived in Liyue, he had given Seven Stars a great assist.

Now Tadalia can't escape.

Looking at the little troublemaker who was running towards him excitedly, the young master was helpless. What could he say? When he was a kid, he could run even faster than Tok, and he ran straight into the abyss's fissure.

“Brother, look, this is some Liyue cuisine that Paimon recommended to me. You should try it.” Tok said, opening the lunchbox he was carrying.

A delicious aroma wafted over, clearly indicating that this was real food, not some kind of prank.

"Hurry up and finish eating, you 'helpful' young master." Ying and Paimon almost burst out laughing when they saw the young master's disheveled appearance covered in mud.

What goes around comes around! He deceived himself! Not only did he deceive, but he also stalked her; not only did he stalk her, but he also fought with her, and when he couldn't win the fight, he got angry.

Live it!

Ying and Paimon felt a great sense of satisfaction seeing the young master wolfing down his food. In fact, Paimon felt that the punishment was too lenient.

The young master and the scattered soldiers should be allowed to take over the entire dam project!

Anyway, both of them are capable of doing the work of a hundred or a thousand people, so they're probably about the same in terms of skill.

However, Seven Stars was clearly not that carefree. Liyue would never dare to let the Fatui get involved in water conservancy facilities like dams.

If the Fools were to tamper with things, the damage they caused would probably be no less than what happened this time.

"How was it, brother? Was it delicious?" Tok asked impatiently as he watched the young master devour his food.

"Delicious! I feel full of power now!" the young master shouted, stomping his foot and sending the shovel flying into the air before landing in his hand.

"So cool!" Tok clapped his hands, his eyes shining.

"There's something even cooler!" Seeing Tok's excitement, the young master also wanted to show off. He activated his Divine Eye, and water elements gathered on the shovel.

Then a larger shovel appeared in the young master's hand. As for its purpose... well, it was to dig the soil much faster!

And so, under the scorching sun and amidst cheers, the young master began his new work once again.

……

"Hmm? No friends?"

On the opposite side of the young master, in the diversion channel, Menggete glanced at the scattered soldiers in the distance and said calmly.

"It's just a core overload, I'll just rest for a bit." The soldier raised his arm and emptied the dirt from between his joints. White, overheated fumes continued to billow from his body.

"Besides, friends are something only the weak need," the stragglers added as they cleaned the mud off their bodies.

“It’s no wonder you have no friends.” Montgomery offered no comment on the skirmisher’s words, thinking that the skirmisher’s lack of friends was simply due to his foul mouth and arrogance.

For people like this, give them a beating first. If one beating isn't enough, give them two. After a few beatings, they'll be fine.

However, Mongot was too lazy to do it, because he was afraid that this guy had a foul mouth and if he angered him, the doll might fall apart if he used too much force.

"Hmph! Thank you for the compliment." The soldier sneered, then began to activate his Evil Eye.

"call--"

However, just as he was about to continue opening up the river channel, he heard a whooshing sound coming from the sky.

Looking up, several bright blue trails of flame shone in the sky, causing the skirmishers to stop in their tracks.

"What? Want to go?" Montgomery glanced up, then looked away. It was just a shooting star; he'd never even seen one, let alone fought one.

The stars at the boundary are alive, even meteors. When the boundary is in turmoil, malicious meteors will take the opportunity to enter.

As the former king of Rodel, he had dealt with many things like fallen star beasts.

“Naturally, my purpose in coming to Liyue is this meteor.” The skirmisher’s eyes darted around, clearly agitated by the arrival of the meteor.

"Om-"

A golden light, even more dazzling than the tail of a meteor, appeared. When the golden light dissipated, the skirmishers were astonished to see that Montgomery was carrying a large golden hammer on his shoulder.

“You can try.” Mongot gently placed the giant hammer on the ground, and the earth immediately cracked inch by inch.

"..."

After a brief silence, both waterways were busy again.

Chapter 334 The True Sleeping Meteor

Chapter 334 True Sleeping Meteor

On an ordinary, uneventful day, Yu Jin walked along the road.

Wandering around the streets of Tiger Rock, Ember saw that the Adventurers' Guild's quest board in the distance was crowded with people.

"Make way! Let me see first!" Seeing this, Yu Jin didn't stand on ceremony and pushed his way through the crowd.

The adventurers of Liyue owe Ember a lot of favors. Many of them have their daily quests completed with Ember's help.

Daily quests are an initiative by the Adventurers' Guild to help adventurers make a better living.

Generally speaking, the association will assign miscellaneous tasks to specific individuals based on their abilities.

If you complete them all, you'll not only receive the normal reward but also an extra bonus. If you don't complete them, that's okay too; daily quests are not mandatory, and each adventurer can decide whether or not to do them based on their own circumstances.

This is why the Adventurers' Guild has become a transnational organization on par with Teyvat and the Treasure Raiders – primarily in terms of personnel distribution.

Treasure hunting groups and adventurers are to humans what plants are to mint, or monsters are to Hilichurls—they're everywhere.

"Senior is here. It's a new group commission from the association." Zhiqiong made way for Yu Jin as he walked away.

While mapping, she was frequently tossed into the air by embers. Although the process was painful, it was indeed very helpful in completing her work.

"Group commission?" Yu Jin squinted at the commission board; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

Just as Ember was studying the artifact, Catherine emerged from behind the counter. Beside her stood Lan, the president of the Liyue Guild.

"Everyone, please be quiet," Catherine shouted.

The eager adventurers then quieted down. Catherine's words carried more weight than those of Sister Lan.

Because Catherine speaks gently, while Sister Lan only tries to drag people along to find some kind of "sword".

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Catherine nodded and continued, "You all saw the shooting star a few days ago, right?"

"So beautiful! A meteorite."

"A shooting star? This is the first time I've ever seen one."

"Surprised? It's just a pebble!"

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Yu Jin felt that they were ignorant.

He had seen the meteor before, and even looked at it in greater detail. It was just a few small fragments; it probably wouldn't even reach the ground before burning up.

“You’re more knowledgeable than them; you can’t generalize.” Lan smiled helplessly at Yu Jin’s sarcastic expression.

Ember was arguably the most mysterious and powerful adventurer Lan had ever met; he could complete any request, no matter how small.

Unfortunately, he just wouldn't go with me to find the sword. If he were willing, it would probably be easy to find.

Whenever Lan and Yu Jin brought up this matter, Yu Jin refused to answer.

The main reason was her condition—nominating Ember as the branch leader. Wasn't that just trying to undermine him? So Ember decisively refused.

Catherine, standing nearby, nodded in agreement. She gathered her thoughts and then addressed the now quiet crowd below:

"The meteor a few days ago was very strange, landing in the border area between Mondstadt and Liyue. Recent reports say that many people have fallen into a deep sleep since the meteor fell."

"Yujingtai suspects it's related to those meteorites, and considering Liyue's recent manpower shortage, they specifically commissioned us to investigate."

Liyue is indeed short-handed recently, because most of the Thousand Rock Army's members are guarding the Fatui "mining machines".

After Ruo Tuo awoke, he not only lived as a guest elder in the Hall of Rebirth, but he also served as a special advisor to the Hui Shan Hall, which was in charge of mining among the Seven Stars and Eight Gates.

With Rota in charge, the amount of mineral exploration in Liyue increased significantly. With so much ore to be mined, Liyue immediately ran out of miners.

and so……
