Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

[As for why I had this idea?]

Ultimately, it all comes down to a funny video.

[Video.rmvb]

The short 12-second video is an animated CG of Jingliu unleashing his ultimate move—Let this moonlight illuminate all rivers!

The lines were cool, and the actions were stylish, but the expression when she fell from the sky turned into (≧ω≦), which made her look adorable!

Those who burst out laughing immediately understood Gu Jing's feelings!

No wonder he wanted to see Jingliu's adorable body!

That's so cute!

PS: The picture shows Gui Naifen.

Chapter 268 Star Treasure: The Annihilation Gang, is it? I, Galaxy Baseball Man, cannot tolerate this!

On the street, Gu Jing waved goodbye with a smile, his figure turning into specks of light and disappearing. Jing Liu also said goodbye and wished him well.

The matter of Meng Ying's body naturally stirred up some waves in her heart, but she could clearly feel the changes in herself. She could now freely control the demonic body that had been giving her a headache. This misfortune had been completely transformed into a means to strengthen herself.

And whether it was just her imagination or not, once the physical burden was lifted, her mood wasn't as depressed as before.

Looking at the 10 daily commissions that refreshed in the commission interface, Jingliu couldn't help but feel a little emotional: the future is bright!

In the following time, Gu Jing did not rush to the Black Tower Space Station. Instead, he traveled around with Kafka, Huanlong, Tingyun, Qingque, Bailu, Gui Naifen, Xingbao, Sanyueqi and others, doing commissions.

Old Yang, who didn't want to eat dog food, replaced Himeko.

In addition, due to Gu Jing's good fortune in unlocking the [Pure Beauty] power, these three-colored dumplings are in short supply!

******

A week passed in the blink of an eye. At noon that day, urged by Ms. Black Tower, Gu Jing arrived at the space station alone. When he officially met Ruan Mei and Black Tower, the two were still sitting on the sofa quietly enjoying their afternoon dessert.

If Lady Black Tower's personal image is that of an exquisite doll-like girl, then Ruan Mei, wearing a high-slit cheongsam and a pearl necklace, is undoubtedly the young mistress of a wealthy family in China.

She eats desserts in small bites, her every move exuding the demureness of a classical woman, yet cream lingers on the corners of her mouth.

Those who watched this scene through the live stream couldn't help but chuckle. Her slow and deliberate way of speaking, along with the numerous anecdotes about pastries, flowers, and music, gave people an impression of the gentle and graceful Wu dialect of the Jiangnan water towns.

Unfortunately, Gu Jing wasn't very interested in these things. Noticing this, Ruan Mei steered the conversation towards today's topic:

As you know—

"I am a scholar specializing in life sciences."

"I heard from the Black Tower that you are a traveler from beyond the world, and that you can wield the power of a star god even in human form."

"I am very curious about your life form."

"Would I have the honor of conducting research on you?"

After listening patiently, Gu Jing was not surprised. When he met her gaze, he could feel the barely perceptible eagerness in Ruan Mei's eyes.

Even though he made it clear that he did not want to participate in any research.

Looking at Gu Jing's handsome face, Ruan Mei, who was very interested and had already made plans, still did not give up: "Why refuse? Is it because the reward is not proportional to the effort?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

“I had also inquired with Black Tower before.”

She said that besides doing good deeds, your biggest hobby is collecting all kinds of beautiful women.

"I happen to be quite confident in my physique."

"And you yourself are very much to my aesthetic liking."

"So I've already thought about it."

"If you are willing to cooperate with my research."

"We can also try dating."

What do you think?

******

As the conversation progressed to this point, the atmosphere in the room transformed into that of a blind date. However, under the watchful eyes of the two, Ruan Mei's expression remained calm throughout, a fact that Ms. Heita, who had anticipated, was not surprised at all.

[Silver Wolf: Interesting. Someone previously said my map of Yan was too short.]

Silver Wolf: This guy's map isn't very long either.

[Black Tower: Come on, at least they had a lot of buildup, yours was just a scrap of paper on a dagger!]

[Black Tower: Moreover, Ruan Mei is actually quite a good wife. Besides her research, her hobbies are also very wholesome—exquisite silks, beautiful music, delicious pastries, refreshing tea, and she enjoys embroidery in her spare time.]

[Black Tower: My greatest life goal is to study the origin of life.]

[Black Tower: Based on my speculation, the fundamental reason she studies the origin of life is probably to become a Star God!]

[Black Tower: Although I don't understand why she would have such thoughts.]

[Black Tower: But what if she really intends to be your wife?]

[Black Tower: You should be secretly happy!]

Looking at the comments on Black Tower's screen, and seeing the undisguised mockery in her eyes, Gu Jing rolled his eyes at her. This little old woman was just looking for trouble.

However, he still maintains his original saying: "Having more friends means having more paths, having more wives means having more homes, and getting to know Ruan Mei is not a loss."

Thinking of this, he also took out a copy of the diary: "Since Black Tower has mentioned my affairs, you should be familiar with this diary."

"Regarding your research topic."

"I'm not very interested."

"But I wouldn't lose out by becoming your friend."

"Moreover, I am where I am today because of my diary."

"If you're really curious..."

"You can become stronger on your own and then study yourself."

"certainly--"

"It's not given away for free."

"You need to give me a copy of your final research results."

What do you think?

As they spoke, Gu Jing also observed the subtle expressions on Ruan Mei's face, which were quite intriguing. She was indeed somewhat pleased to see the copy of the diary.

But perhaps because she felt that Gu Jing would rather give her a cheat code than agree to her conditions, her willow-leaf eyebrows twitched slightly—it was like wanting to eat chocolate, and someone kindly handed you one, only to find it was pure dark chocolate with a bitter taste. You held the chocolate, and for a moment you didn't know whether you should eat it or not.

However... it was something she couldn't refuse.

Seeing Gu Jing place the diary on the table, Ruan Mei didn't rush to pick it up, but instead stared at him with a deep, unsettling gaze:

"Thank you for your generosity."

“I am very happy with your terms.”

"But I also have a question."

Why would you rather go to this point than agree to my conditions?

Am I not good enough?

As it turns out, even a detached scientific luminary like Ruan Mei couldn't remain calm when faced with her personal charisma being overlooked.

Gu Jing, who was being stared at by her, couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course I don't mean to look down on you. If I had to say something, it would be that our feelings for each other aren't quite there yet. And compared to a contractual relationship, I definitely prefer the thrill of a romantic connection."

Ruan Mei: "..." (Beautiful woman in silence.jpg)

The topic of romantic relationships inevitably touched upon areas she was unfamiliar with. After giving him a deep look, Ruan Mei nodded.

After thanking him again, she picked up her diary and then, quite tactfully, left the room, leaving Gu Jing and Hei Ta alone.

******

Watching Ruan Mei's departing figure and the alloy door closing automatically, Hei Ta immediately cowered and swallowed hard.

As she slowly turned to look at Gu Jing, she racked her brains trying to figure out how to escape. But before she could speak, Gu Jing acted first, grabbing her by the back of her collar with one hand and pulling her entire doll-like body into his arms.

Stared at by his smiling eyes, seeing his fox-like smile, Black Tower broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't do anything rash!"

"I...I'm a doll now!"

"It can't be astringent!"

Gu Jing smiled even more upon hearing this: "Seriously, even though it's a doll, the feel is no different from a real person. It's soft and warm to the touch, and... it smells very nice too. Although it shouldn't be astringent, it's really as good as you."

As he spoke, Gu raised his hand and pinched her little cheek. After pinching it, he deliberately brought his fingers to his nose and smelled them.

Seeing the wicked smile on his face, Black Tower himself felt both ashamed and angry: "You brat! Is it fun to humiliate me like this?"

"Humiliation? I was clearly praising you, wasn't I?"

Is this considered an insult?

"Oh! You mean the time I touched you inappropriately?"

There's really nothing we can do about it.

"After all, Lady Black Tower is just too adorable."

"I can't help it!"

Leaning back on the sofa, Gu Jing's face was full of smugness, even though he was in the wrong. After speaking, he cupped Hei Ta's little face and rubbed it several times.

Black Tower, who offered no resistance, looked utterly hopeless. Watching the live stream, Silver Wolf and others, whose funny bone had been tickled, burst into laughter, laughing so hard they were doubled over. Ruan Mei, who had just received the diary, also couldn't help but chuckle.

In a sense, this is like using brine to curdle tofu, one thing subdues another; it was the first time she had ever seen Black Tower show such an expression.

But... wouldn't this be considered an old cow eating young grass? Considering their ages, Ruan Mei couldn't help but have this thought.

Silver Wolf bluntly stated this: "As far as I know, Lady Black Tower has never had a boyfriend."

[Silver Wolf: And she obviously couldn't possibly be unaware of someone's personality.]
