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

"Wait a minute, am I in extreme danger right now?"

Ling Shu suddenly realized what was happening.

Oh dear, I've unknowingly been tricked by my own 'anima consciousness'.

"I really hope we don't run into Hedin and his men today."

I really can't take it anymore.

The belatedly aware young people of China are secretly praying in their hearts.

******

Ling Shu was lucky.

Today, the eight heroes of Freya's Familia were all busy with their own affairs, either in the dungeon or running errands for Freya and investigating important matters. None of them were going to suddenly jump out and deliver a chop to the back of his neck, then expertly slip a sack over his head and head straight for Deep Water Bay in the port city of Mellen... cough cough~

Well, in short, about twenty minutes later, after a journey filled with anxiety, he and Ying finally arrived safely at the headquarters of the Apollo Familia.

This place... was the mansion that was later transformed into the 'Hearth of the Hearth' by the Hestia Familia.

At present, it doesn't look like anything special from the outside; it's just an ordinary luxury house. But inside... Ling Shu and Ying both know very well that it's absolutely filled with Apollo's wicked sense of humor.

Sweat~

Enough of the digressions.

Since the two of them had arrived abruptly, it took quite a while for Hyamentus, who had been informed by his subordinates, to arrive at the door after Ying rang the magic stone doorbell and explained his purpose to the gatekeeper.

"Welcome to Lord Apollo's residence, Miss Ying from [Stars]."

After bowing impeccably as always, the brown-haired youth turned to Ling Shu and asked, "May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Let me introduce myself.

Ying took advantage of her position and pointed to Ling Shu, "Dongfang Ling Shu, a 'Level 3 Adventurer (Lv.2)' belonging to the Frigga Familia, is a close friend of Sora and me."

"It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Hyacintos Creo, the Emperor of the Sun's Light."

"Nice to meet you."

As Ling Shu had expected, Hyacintos was a rather arrogant person.

Right now, it is precisely because of Ying's presence that the latter, as the leader of the Apollo Familia, has shown her a more approachable attitude.

Otherwise, Hyacinthus, with his pseudo-Lv.3 level of favor, would not bother wasting his breath on a mere Lv.2 nobody with no background.

Ling Shu didn't want to interfere too much with this person's personality.

He simply picked up the conversation and explained, "I apologize for the abrupt visit to your residence today."

"However, yesterday afternoon, one of your team members visited our base and left some noteworthy intelligence, which is why I have come here today to bother you. Please forgive any rudeness."

Hearing Ling Shu say that...

"Some of my team members have gone to your location?"

Hyacinthus frowned slightly. "Do you know exactly who it is?"

"My lord god said she was a woman with long, dark blue hair... well, hair that covered half of her face."

"..."

Hyacintos's lips twitched, and he clicked his tongue, "Ah, it's that idiot Cassandra."

"She must have been spreading rumors over there, right?"

The brown-haired youth's expression was rather unpleasant. "You even alarmed Miss Ying, doing things that only bring shame to Lord Apollo..."

"I'm so sorry, I'll punish her properly later."

Out of respect for Ying, Yacintos said frankly to Ling Shu, "You don't need to pay attention to those nonsense words. She often goes crazy like this, and I've disciplined her many times, but... in short, I hope you won't take this to heart."

Right now, it's clear that Hyacinthus's attitude towards Ying is completely different from his attitude towards Ling Shu.

But this is a fairly normal phenomenon.

Ling Shu wasn't angry, but seeing that Yacintos didn't want to cause any more trouble, he secretly informed Ying through the mental link.

The latter immediately replied, "Mr. Hyacintos, I am very interested in this Miss Cassandra. I wonder... if you could introduce me to her?"

"what?"

Hyacinthus was completely taken aback by Ying's request and was somewhat caught off guard.

Unlike his feelings for Ling Shu, he couldn't very well refuse Ying, and after a long while...

"Alright, please follow me, both of you."

Hyacinthus led the way.

As he walked around, he sighed helplessly, "As I just said, Cassandra is a bit crazy. I hope you can be mentally prepared for that."

He looked at Ying and said, "Please forgive that idiot if he has done anything rude."

"Don't worry, I just want to meet some new friends."

Ying smiled slightly, then winked playfully at Ling Shu.

Hyacinthus, who was walking beside him, naturally noticed this little gesture.

Because the former never intended to hide it in the first place.

Or rather: in order to ensure the smooth progress of the following dialogue, this was entirely...

It was done on purpose.

Chapter 219 Ying... She's started again.

If we were to rank the 'Three Great BUG Abilities of DanMachi,' then in terms of sheer 'mystery,' Cassandra's 'Princess Who Sings of a Tragic World' would undoubtedly be at the top of the list, without a doubt.

Because, whether it's Haruhime Sanjou's level-up magic 'Mega Hammer' or Miss Amid's highest-ranking healing magic 'Dia Frattl', they are ultimately abilities that can be interpreted by 'God's Grace'.

On Cassandra's side, however, her skill was almost entirely a jumble of characters.

As mentioned before, even the name 'Princess who sings praises of a tragic world' was an uncertain answer deduced by her own chief god in the original future timeline when Cassandra converted to the Mih Familia.

So, here's the question...

"My abilities derived from the 'Genshin Impact System' can actually be deciphered by 'Divine Grace'... Is it because their mystery is not as great as Cassandra's skill?"

One day before, Ling Shu had asked Xiao You about this.

The latter's response was:

[You're overthinking it... Even the skill of 'having 100% accurate precognitive dreams' can't be more mysterious than an entire 'world'.]

Because for the 'world,' 'time' is only a part of 'wholeness.'

Not to mention, the 'system' you possess is even more mysterious than the 'world' itself.

That incredibly cute (and eccentric) Miss Holy Sword answered very seriously at the time:

If we must put it simply, when the 'divine grace' within you attempts to decipher all the 'unknowns' and 'essence' related to you, it is the 'system' that actively transmits some information to reveal it, so that you can understand it.

Therefore, you will find that all three of your spells have the description "Unknown effect, unlock conditions not yet met."

The fourth spell, 'Primordial Man,' is not a product of the 'System.' Therefore, even if it indirectly transmitted some information, some details remained undeciphered, resulting in... not only gibberish, but not even any text.

That's roughly the situation.

……

As Ling Shu reminisced, he and Ying, guided by Hyacintos, arrived at a lounge.

This place appears to be the girls' dormitory area within the Apollo clan.

When the three of them arrived, they were perfectly upright and honest, and they didn't see anything they shouldn't have seen.

Honestly...

"This world... no, specifically within Orario, might really be lacking the profession of 'dormitory manager'."

If Ling Shu remembers correctly, it seems that the 'school district' and 'Magic Kingdom·Yardina' have a relatively complete accommodation system.

Right now...

"Cassandra, please stop talking nonsense."

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the lounge, they heard a girl's extremely helpless voice coming from inside, "You actually want to go to Freya's Familia to find the [Twin Stars]? If you act so recklessly, you'll cause a lot of trouble..."

"But if we don't inform those esteemed officials soon, the world will..."

"Yes, yes, the world will be destroyed, right?"

The owner of the weak female voice was about to retort, but was immediately drowned out by the previous complaints.

Inside the lounge, by a large window letting in sunlight, a girl with short, dark red hair was sighing and rubbing her forehead. She looked at a girl of similar age with long, dark blue hair whom she was forcefully holding onto with her other hand, and said repeatedly, "It was just a nightmare. If you're too afraid of the dark, you can bring your pillow and blanket to my room tonight..."

"That's really not how it is, believe me!"

The poor girl's jade-green eyes were already brimming with tears.

It was because I saw this scene...

"Hey!"

Hyacinthus was clearly in a bad mood and shouted it out.

This startled the two girls inside.

"Lord Hyacintos!" ×2

The short-haired girl 'Daphne Lalos', wearing a white group uniform, and the girl in black 'Cassandra Illion' standing next to her quickly responded.

Seeing this...

"How utterly disgraceful!"

Hyacinthus felt that the two were extremely unruly, and with outsiders present, their disgraceful behavior was clearly a disgrace to their own god.

Fortunately, Ying was standing right next to him. Although the brown-haired youth was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his facial expression became particularly distorted for a moment, he still managed to hold back and not lash out.

The reason is simple: according to Hyacinthus's thinking, if he doesn't control his emotions here, he will only embarrass Lord Apollo even more.

and so……
