Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Inside the Loki Familia's residence, the 'Twilight Mansion,' in the top-floor conference room.

At this moment, apart from Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying, all the core members of the Loki Familia had gathered here.

It was after this conversation that the Palum (a race of little people) hero finally understood why the goddess Freya hadn't worried about the Twin Stars encountering any mishaps during their expedition.

Teleportation magic, after all, is so rare that it is almost only mentioned in legends, and it is a spatial magic that is close to the 'realm of gods'.

Unfortunately……

"The 'transfer magic' that Ying and I awakened can only be used by ourselves, so I'm sorry I couldn't take Lefia with me to leave the 'deep' area last time."

Ling Shu (Kong) told the truth.

As for this matter...

"It's not your fault. 'Abnormal situations' happen from time to time inside dungeons. Every adventurer should be mentally prepared for this."

Finn, however, said with great emotional intelligence, "Moreover, you could have just left on your own back then, but you chose to stay and protect Lefia in the extremely dangerous 'deep' area. For that alone, we should thank you even more."

He finished speaking in one sentence...

"Tch, you're just spouting such important stuff again."

At the meeting room door, Bert, who was standing against the wall, couldn't help but interject, "He went to the 'guild' hall again and made a racket. He's completely brainless."

Well, as always, today's werewolf youth is still missing a traveling translator.

He was naturally unaware of Ling Shu's subsequent considerations.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Ling Shu's main body has advanced to Lv.2 is currently known only to Freya and himself.

Currently, the Traveler's twins' Genshin Impact levels haven't been raised yet, and from a long-term perspective, the 'weak Frigga Familia' doesn't need a member to stand out too much in the early stages. So... Ling Shu and Freya had already discussed the matter of 'leveling up' and decided to keep it a secret for a while longer.

Then, in just a few days, [Starry Twins] should officially be upgraded to Lv.3.

So……

“Some things that we didn’t dare to talk about much during the Lv.1 stage of the game now require us to reconsider our priorities.”

Ling Shu had a clear mind. "Speaking of which, I should also work on developing the 'synthesis' ability. The materials inside Teyvat are not just for 'cooking'."

Thinking this to myself...

"Well, once we've gathered some information about the 'Great Tree Sea' and finalized the details of the next 'expedition,' let's go check out the free market in the trading area (Urban District Six)."

Ling Shu secretly finalized this plan.

Chapter 107 Part of the World Map...

While the teleportation magic of the Twin Stars cannot bring others along, it can act as a 'top supporter' to transport supplies back and forth... Finn actually thought of several feasible plans for this at the moment.

For example: Next, we can send our core members, along with Kong and Ying, to the underground city. We can then make a stopover on the 39th floor before continuing to the 50th floor to establish a new anchor point and prepare for the next official 'expedition'.

But unfortunately...

"We've been very busy lately, as we have to complete the 'guild's' commissions to earn expedition funds, so not everyone can go to the dungeon in the short term."

Finn himself was also somewhat troubled by this matter.

Because this clearly falls into the category of "you can't have your cake and eat it too".

no way……

"The team responsible for supporting the area around the 'Great Tree Sea' will be led by Grace, with Alicia, Anachiti, Cruz, Raul... and Lefia traveling together."

Inside the meeting room, Finn began making preliminary arrangements. "After all, the issue over there is about dealing with the 'monster riot' phenomenon. In addition to Grace, whose attack range is already extremely wide, we need to arrange for more mages."

"At the clan's camp, let Navi (Lv.4) lead Lakta, Elfi, and the others to stay behind."

"Let's go to the dungeon together, me, Riveria, Ais, Tione, Tiona, and Bert, at a suitable time."

At this point...

"Kong, Ying, are things alright on your end?"

Finn asked the most 'key' siblings this question.

Upon hearing this…

"When exactly will we enter the dungeon?"

Just to be on the safe side, Ling Shu (Kong) asked the same question again.

"Three days later."

Finn answered frankly, "Currently, although we have raised the 'initial funds,' Ais and the others' weapons are still being maintained. There's nothing we can do about it; we have to wait."

"Going to the dungeon in three days... that's roughly the time, is that okay?"

Upon hearing this reply...

"no problem."

Ling Shu (Kong) nodded, "However, we also have our own preparations to make over these three days, and..."

His eyes narrowed slightly. "What exactly happened over at the 'Great Tree Sea'?"

Without a doubt, the fact that the 'guild' would take the initiative to issue commissions to various large factions is definitely not a trivial matter.

Or rather:

"If the 'monster riot' over there isn't a big deal, Orario, which is so far away, wouldn't need to make such a big fuss."

Indeed, just as Ling Shu had thought...

On this 'continent' of the current world, the labyrinth city of Orario is called the 'center of the world', but its geographical location is not in the center of the continent, but in the far west of the continent.

Further west... well, a little to the south, lies a lake that connects to the sea—a lake where freshwater and seawater mix.

It was right there beside that soda lake that the 'Port City - Melon', located in the southwest of Orario, sat on the water's edge.

Incidentally, in ancient times thousands of years ago, the underground city actually had an entrance leading to the sea.

One of the ancient monsters, 'Leviathan, the King of the Sea', came from there.

Of course, a thousand years ago, with the arrival of the gods, the labyrinth city of Orario was established, and the two 'natural exits' of the dungeon were sealed off.

Of these, the land exits were blocked by the 'Tower of Babel'.

The sea exit was continuously reinforced and sealed by the 'Zeus's Familia'. Finally, after the 'Sea King Leviathan' was successfully defeated, they joined forces with the 'Poseidon's Familia' to set up the permanent 'Sea Dragon Seal' using its black skeleton.

The latter situation occurred more than a decade ago.

At that time, Finn, Grace, Riveria, and others were just beginning to emerge, and were all competitors chasing after those world-renowned 'heroes'.

Unfortunately, later, during the battle against the 'One-Eyed Black Dragon'...

Uh, I've gone off on a tangent.

In short, the world's three great hidden realms are located in the far west, far north, and far south of the continent, respectively.

In contrast to the 'underground city' in the far west...

'Dragon Valley' is in the far north.

The 'Great Forest' is in the far south.

As for the Far East... it is the country where the Takemikazuchi clan originally lived.

The true center of the world, or rather the 'center of the continent,' was actually the 'Lachya Kingdom' ruled by the god Ares.

Of course, the latter is not important.

Importantly, even riding a wyvern, it takes a full ten days to travel from Orario to the Great Forest.

Such a long distance, especially in today's technologically underdeveloped and geographically isolated world...

"The only possibility is that the defensive forces around the 'Great Tree Sea' have confirmed that they can no longer withstand the 'monster riot'."

Ling Shu analyzed to himself, "Therefore, we can only ask Orario for help, which is extremely far away."

As for the labyrinth city, there's no doubt that, apart from the Lv.7 knight in the 'school district,' the strongest combat force on the surface is all in Orario.

Perhaps there are still some powerful figures belonging to the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia who live in anonymity, but... who can find them?

In summary……

"I think you've guessed it too. The monster uprising in the 'Great Tree Sea' has become so large that even the 'Kingdom of the War God' and the 'Magic Great Power' can't handle it."

Finn answered Ling Shu's (Kong's) question, "However, there are also many powerful clans over there, such as the highly renowned Artemis Familia."

“Those powerful women led by the ‘Goddess of Purity’ have a minimum grace level of Lv.2. Since they are the main force over there, we only need to send people to support them and relieve their pressure.”

Hearing this from the [hero]...

"Artemis's Familia?"

As soon as Ling Shu (Kong) heard the name of this clan, he knew that this matter would be extremely troublesome.

He was actually quite helpless, as the original work contained far too little description of the 'prequel' to the theatrical version's plot.

Since both the main story and the side stories are set in Orario, who knows how long the monster riots in the 'Great Forest' actually lasted?

Currently, there are still a little over two months until the start of the 'main story' plot, as predicted by Ling Shu.

Further on, there are still about five months until this year's 'New Moon Festival'.

There are just too many things that could happen during this time.

Ling Shu is also unsure whether there will be any changes to the major event concerning the 'Scorpion of the Secret Realm'.

In this situation, there's no point in talking about winning over the goddess.

Let's get practical—

What if that 'strongest arrow of the heavens,' powerful enough to destroy the entire lower realm, were to strike prematurely?

Furthermore, if we intervened earlier, could we have avoided many unnecessary casualties?

In any case, the reason he was in such a hurry to fight the two-headed dragon was that he didn't want to sit and wait to die.

and so……

"Excuse me, Finn."

Ling Shu (Kong) looked at the little human leader and asked, "When will the team you're sending to support the defenses of the 'Great Tree Sea' depart?"
