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

"While this move greatly expanded my 'power', it was extremely expensive to use."

Yes, it's expensive.

First, forge ten top-grade mithril rings... Well, 30 million mana for Cricket is just a drop in the ocean for the current [Twin Stars].

But later on... this skill actually requires 'fuel'.

After all, no matter how fast Ling Shu's mana regeneration speed is, he can't possibly "feed" more than twenty Genshin Impacts at the same time, even if he possesses the 'Starry Abyss' skill.

In situations like these, the 'magic stone' comes in handy.

For example, right now...

"Crackling sound~"

In a secluded alley, after putting on all ten mithril rings, Ling Shu took out a magic stone that he had deliberately kept unredeemed from his pocket.

There is no doubt that there is a large amount of 'magic power' inside the magic stone.

Otherwise, Orario wouldn't have been able to utilize this special mineral to create a complete 'Magic Stone Technology' system and make it their main source of income.

Right now, Ling Shu is making full use of the 'absorption → storage' function of the 'Ten Commandments of the Human King' skill, directly turning the magic stone in his hand into dust.

With a wave of his right hand, scattering the useless ashes, the black-haired youth's lips curled slightly... well, for some reason, he looked a bit like a major villain.

"Hehehe, enjoyable, enjoyable."

Ling Shu thought to himself, "A magic stone taken from the Minotaur, after 'charging' a single ring, accumulates less than 1% of its magic power."

It's costing even more money now?

No, no.

The greater the magical reserves of the 'Ten Commandments of the Human King', the more freely Ling Shu can wield the magical power.

At present...

If we directly apply the "total time of manifestation" calculation method to the "Genshin Impact Descent" spell, currently, the mana reserves of a single ring on your side are roughly enough to allow a single Genshin Impact to remain in the world for a full day.

[And this time limit has the potential to be increased further.]

If I had to say something...

"My 'Ten Commandments of the King of Men' also has growth attributes similar to 'Hestia's Blade,' right?"

Ling Shu accepted Xiao You's analysis.

Now he understands why the question-and-answer function of the 'Genshin Impact System' never worked when he tried to communicate with it before, and whether he got a reply depended on luck.

It turns out that 'Xiao You' had been helping to maintain the stability of the 'Teyvat' world bubble anchored within his body. This workload was so immense that even the incredibly unreliable Miss Holy Sword, who was known as the 'ultimate AI in its complete form,' couldn't easily handle it herself.

The difficulty level is comparable to 007.

Therefore, when 'Xiao You' occasionally goes online to make her presence known, it's only because she manages to steal a moment from her busy schedule.

Therefore, seeing that Miss Holy Sword had worked so hard, Ling Shu could completely understand why she would occasionally throw a little tantrum.

Ultimately, if he were to play 007 for many years, he would have gone on strike long ago.

Now...

"I've already got the Mithril Ring safely. Now all I have to do is keep grinding monsters to collect Magic Stones."

"However, it's getting late today, let's go back to the 'base' first."

Having made up his mind, Ling Shu headed directly towards the 'Urban Third District - Slum Street'.

Yes, that's right. The clan's base that Ling Shu wants to return to is certainly not Freya's clan's 'battlefield'.

It was actually the 'Frigga Family's' little nest.

Its name is... well, it doesn't have a name.

It was just a rather rudimentary orphanage, without even formal registration.

******

—Daedalus Street—

This place was a regional division personally designed by the extraordinary person who led the construction of the 'Tower of Babel' a thousand years ago.

Because of its intricate internal routes and the lack of any road signs, it is very easy for people who are not poor and live here to get lost.

Of course, this place had become the main battlefield because Orario was invaded by Scorpio's clone, and it was mostly destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle between many powerful figures.

Currently, the restoration work here is still in full swing, and thanks to the joint funding and assistance from multiple factions such as the Freya Familia and the Hephaestus Familia, the poor ancient families living here are barely able to survive.

As for the 'base' that Ling Shu mentioned...

Although it was called an orphanage, it was actually an abandoned church.

However, over the years, a kind-hearted woman named Maria Mathilde has been taking in abandoned orphans one after another, forming a large family with them and living together.

Now, Ling Shu and his own goddess 'Frigga' have also joined this big family.

Well, actually... strictly speaking, it should be: the girl named 'Hiel Frova' who used to frequently help out at this orphanage revealed her identity as a 'goddess' and, not long ago, established her own familia here.

Speaking of which...

“I used to lie and say that Frigga’s Familia was a faction from outside Orario… Sigh~ As expected, when it comes to forging information, it still depends on my older sister’s skills.”

As Ling Shu pondered this, he arrived at the abandoned church.

At this moment, next to the dilapidated fountain directly in front of them, which was completely dry and no longer functioning, there were more than twenty children surrounding a gray-haired girl, seemingly playing some kind of game.

As Ling Shu approached...

"It's Brother Ling Shu."

"Brother Ling Shu is back."

Did you go to the dungeon today?

"Tell us your stories about adventurers!"

……

The children surrounded him, chattering excitedly.

To be honest, before he transmigrated, Ling Shu was actually very reluctant to have too much contact with young children.

Because when relatives come to visit, some particularly ill-mannered... or rather, spoiled children really test his patience.

such as:

Just for fun, I broke off the router's signal connector...

When eating, move all the good dishes towards yourself...

With his mouth still greasy, he jumped and rolled around on the bed in the bedroom...

Ironically, some clueless relatives were laughing their heads off, as if to say: "Look how cute my little one is."

I love you so much, you little rascal! %￥%＃@……

Ahem, I won't go into the unpleasant things.

In short, after coming to this 'big family', Ling Shu discovered that not all the children were so immature.

What's truly frustrating is ultimately just the 'bratty kids'.

Look at these adorable little ones around me...

"Brother Ling Shu, you're going to teach me swordsmanship today too!"

"What exactly is the dungeon like?"

"What kind of 'title' do you want for the next 'Assembly of the Gods'?"

Did Nezuko eventually turn back into a human?

……

Before they started acting so cute, they had already helped Maria's mother with all the chores they could.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a single human woman to support the daily lives of more than twenty children.

Of course, with Ling Shu and Xi'er (Frigga) joining them now, life at the orphanage has undoubtedly become much better in just a few days.

only……

"Brother Ling Shu, you're back~"

The goddess still hasn't changed the nickname she used before.

She smiled, and a half-elf child walked up to Ling Shu. "I'm going to work for Mother Mia soon, so I'll leave Lai and the others in your care~"

"Regarding updating the [ability stats]... I'll talk about it when I get back tonight."

"no problem."

Ling Shu nodded, then half-squatted down and casually patted the head of a child next to him. "Today, I've asked Sister Xiangling to help you make dinner, how about that?"

"Okay~"

The children laughed happily.

At this time...

"Hey? Brother Ling Shu, what are those things you're wearing on your hands?"

A brown-haired human boy named 'Ray' leaned closer, looked him up and down, and asked curiously, 'A brass knuckles?'

"..."

Chapter 195 I'll do a little bit

Of the more than twenty children living in this unnamed 'Maria Orphanage,' Ray was the oldest.

He has a lively and outgoing personality and is not shy at all.

A few days ago, when Ling Shu arrived at this abandoned church for the first time, guided by Xi'er, it was this little guy who first started talking to him.

In Ling Shu's opinion, Lai Yi was the most 'mischievous' among all the children.

This can be seen from the few scars on his face.
