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

Like a volcanic eruption, pillars of scorching fire rose one after another in the form of swirling tornadoes within the 'Throne Hall'.

At that moment, the white palace, which was originally predominantly gray, was instantly illuminated by the firelight and turned bright red.

The entire 'throne hall' instantly transformed into a natural oven... no, a 'furnace'.

Finn and the other members of their "own side" are fine, because Riveria's actions are meticulous and they are not affected much at all.

At most, it's hot enough to make you sweat a little.

Udeos, which was within the range of this wide-area annihilation magic, was naturally unable to withstand such a powerful bombardment. Its massive body, tens of meters tall, was completely disintegrated in the molten core formed by flames.

Even the process of turning the material into ash is skipped.

Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying also participated in this battle.

According to Finn, this can be considered a preliminary rehearsal for the upcoming attempt to 'conquer the 58th floor'.

The effect is pretty good.

It's just a pity...

"Such a big magic stone, and it's ruined again."

Beside her, as the flames gradually died down as Riveria cut off her magic supply, little angel Tiona cried out Ling Shu's 'empathy'.

Of course, there's nothing we can do about it.

after all……

"That's such a huge magic stone, and we're not an expedition team anymore, how are we going to transport it?"

Tione explained, half-scoldingly, "Not to mention that Kong and Ying can't transport such a huge thing together, even if they could, we haven't completed our 'arrival floor' target for tonight."

"Hurry up and pack up. Now that Udeus is finished, the right thing to do is to set up camp on the 39th floor as soon as possible."

This hot-tempered woman, however, had a clear mind: "There are also a lot of monsters to clear out in that safe floor."

"Don't be willful again and cause trouble for the commander."

Yes, that last sentence was clearly not just directed at Tiona.

Beside her, Ais felt that she had also been mentioned.

The little girl immediately turned her head away instinctively, her eyes darting away.

On the other side...

"I suddenly thought of something."

Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying began to communicate secretly within their mental link. "You said, since Udeos is a skeletal monster, the magic stone is directly exposed, right inside its ribs, such a conspicuous and huge target..."

"If Paimon gets there and uses 'time stop + spatial storage' to take the magic stone... could we kill it instantly?"

"!"

This idea... is quite unique.

"If it can really kill instantly, then this should be a 'natural enemy' kind of restraining effect."

"How about we try a 'native' person next time?"

Yingmei responded with these two sentences.

Upon hearing this, Ling Shu (Kong) nodded.

"Okay~"

Chapter 120 Adventurers Cannot Be Rigid in Their Thinking

After Udeus was successfully defeated by their own forces, the team members simply searched the Throne Hall for any possible follow-up gains... After that, they immediately set off up the stairs to the 38th floor.

Then, with the efficient advance of the group of 'Level 1 Adventurers', they arrived at their destination for the day—the 39th floor—in less than an hour.

This is the first safe floor in the 'deep' area.

At this moment, Tiona, Ais, Bert, and others are clearing out the 'running around' monsters hiding in the surrounding area.

Finn, Riveria, and Tione accompanied Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying to the 'teleportation anchor point' that the latter had previously set up here.

However, before this thing can be put into use, there is actually a rather complicated process to go through.

In other words, Paimon can only materialize it and take a picture of it, but afterwards, the Traveler twins still need to come nearby to activate it.

Generally speaking, it's similar to the mechanics in Genshin Impact; 'inactive' teleportation anchors are in a state where they glow red.

This is also one of the reasons why Ling Shu couldn't let Paimon go to the lower floors alone to take pictures of the teleportation anchor points.

Of course, there is another reason: Paimon's physical condition is very weak, about the same as Ling Shu's original body before he received the 'God's Grace', only at the level of an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, all of her overpowered abilities are extremely mana-intensive.

Even more remarkably, Paimon herself doesn't have any [ability points]; the magic she needs to consume is directly drawn from her original body.

Under these circumstances, a state of concealment, similar to 'invisibility,' can be maintained for a long time.

However, at this stage, it's not feasible to allow it to act alone for several days in a row.

Paimon is only in an invincible state, 'unable to be attacked,' when he activates his 'time stop' ability.

In conclusion, the most prudent approach is to "cling to the higher floors" to establish teleportation anchors on lower floors.

After all, compared to the aforementioned inconveniences, the most useful characteristic of teleportation anchors is... that they cannot be destroyed.

So, as long as it is placed on a safe floor, there will be no problem even if it is constantly attacked by hordes of monsters.

According to the world view of a certain five-village melee combat system: this is equivalent to an extra-large, non-disappearing 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

By the way...

"Once I can capture and activate the last teleportation anchor point on the 50th floor tomorrow, besides using it to transport supplies during the 'Expedition'... it will have other useful applications in daily life."

Correct.

Ling Shu has a very flexible way of thinking.

He remembered that when he and Lefia accidentally fell into the 37th floor, one of the buffs of the 'Starry Abyss' skill was that the closer you are to the 'Abyss' area, the higher your mana regeneration efficiency... This was determined by the current floor.

Not long ago, Ling Shu (Kong) accompanied Welf to conquer the dungeon and when making the 'All-Purpose Shovel', he made full use of this feature to improve mana regeneration efficiency.

So, from now on...

"If a situation arises where the main body urgently needs to quickly replenish mana, one of the 'travelers' will be teleported to the 50th floor to act as a humanoid locator."

"In that case, even during the day, I can have a 22-fold increase in mana regeneration efficiency."

It's important to know that at this stage, after Ling Shu (the main body) reaches Lv.2, he only needs a '×9' mana regeneration efficiency multiplier to keep a Genshin Impact clone permanently active.

Thus, with the 50th floor teleportation anchor as a backup, he will no longer be constantly short of mana when he needs to consume a lot of mana to do certain things.

Building upon this foundation, we can further explore the versatility of the 'Crown of Wisdom' skill and the 'Primordial Man' magic...

"I'm already done... Ugh, ugh, ugh~"

Ling Shu quickly interrupted the thought that was practically a 'death curse' he was making.

At this point, looking around...

"So this is the 'teleportation anchor'."

Finn, Riveria, and Tiony were curiously examining the novel object.

Rivera, in particular, as an elven royal with extremely high magical skills, was naturally very interested in this thing.

But at this very moment, the 'madam' seemed rather reserved...

"Can I touch it?"

"..."

Please, don't say such cute things in such a serious tone, okay?

"of course can."

Ying smiled and gestured, saying frankly, "The teleportation anchor point I set up has the attribute of 'indestructibility,' and it should have been attacked by quite a few monsters before we arrived."

"Don't worry, it's quite sturdy."

Upon hearing this half-joking remark, Riveria chuckled and nodded.

They then began to carefully observe all aspects of the teleportation anchor point.

As for Finn...

Well, this little human [hero] is currently resting his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

Not long after...

"Ying, you said before that this 'teleportation anchor' cannot be moved again for a long time after it lands, is that right?"

"Yes, that's right."

When Finn asked about this, Yingmei nodded.

Immediately afterwards...

"Have you ever tried anchoring it directly to a 'movable object'?"

Finn shared his thoughts, "For example: large carriages, ships... or something like that?"

"..."

As expected of you.

Yingmei's lips twitched.

Beside him, Ling Shu (Kong) was quite interested in this 'new idea' and immediately asked the system baby about all the relevant matters.

Not long after, he received a rather disappointing answer.

[The reason why the teleportation anchor can exist indefinitely without consuming the host's own magic power after its completion and activation is because it draws on the power of the current world's 'ley lines'.]

Therefore, certain opportunistic ideas are impossible to implement.

[Unless, of course, those movable anchor points inherently possess extremely large amounts of energy.]

Okay, I've learned something new.
