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

So many things happened today…

"I'm a little tired."

With these thoughts in mind, the stranger (traveler) from Earth slowly closed his eyes.

I fell asleep peacefully.

******

In a hazy state...

"Please don't forget..."

"Countless encounters, countless futures..."

"We have come all this way fighting for these very things."

……

"!"

When Ling Shu woke up again, he vaguely seemed to hear a girl's gentle voice.

She seemed to be in the distance, smiling, uttering those words that were shrouded in mystery.

That was undoubtedly a tone that made people feel very reassured.

but……

Those words were not spoken to 'myself'.

The 'self' that appears in the dream is merely an observer of 'that scene'.

Even... witnessing it all from an adversarial perspective.

"Click~"

At this moment, Ling Shu, somewhat dazed, lay on the bed and subconsciously raised his right hand, gently pressing the back of his hand against his forehead.

He therefore failed to notice that the black mithril ring he was wearing... probably the one wrapped around the middle finger of his left hand, had a slight crack.

Within it, there seemed to be specks of golden light emerging.

It's as if... like the 'past' about to be unsealed, as if the 'cover' is being shed.

******

It was 7:30 a.m.

Just like yesterday, Ling Shu first took the smartphone from Paimon, and after writing a short diary entry, he got out of bed and left the room.

After washing up, I had breakfast with Seele (Frigga) and the others, and also gave Ray a good rub on the head...

Finally, he left Maria Orphanage with the words, "I'm leaving now."

These are all very routine matters.

Peaceful and happy.

Perhaps many heroes who have experienced the feeling of "standing at the top" yearn for this kind of "ordinary".

However, faced with the unknown and cruel reality, even these small wishes may be an unattainable luxury.

Today, Ling Shu has begun 'grouping up' according to the itinerary he set last night.

Sora and Luminous... the siblings have already been teleported directly to the 50th floor of the dungeon. Over the next few days, they will try their best to raise their respective Genshin Impact levels to Lv.50 in the shortest possible time, and then find Freya to 'level up' as soon as possible, hoping to obtain the two new [development abilities] that were previously reserved while achieving their second 'Transcendent' rating.

As for Ling Shu himself... after leaving Daedalus Street, where Maria's orphanage was located, he went straight to the Goblin Library in the city and spent a lot of Fali to borrow the book "Tales of the Magic King".

Of course, Ling Shu is the kind of person who 'cannot settle down to read in the library'... He prefers to take the book home and read it slowly in his room by himself.

Unfortunately, the books in the 'Goblin Library' cannot be borrowed; they can only be read quietly inside the library. He could only have Paimon take pictures of the entire scene with his 'smartphone' so he could study the contents later when he had time.

So, after completing these preparations...

"..."

He remained silent the entire way and went directly to the interior of the 'Central Square' in front of the Tower of Babel.

His gaze immediately fell upon two thin figures carrying large bundles on their backs.

It's obvious from his decisive and unwavering approach that he came here alone to find those two people.

Oh no.

Strictly speaking, it should be: they just need to find one of them to do something.

He was a white-haired boy who felt completely lost about his future.

Now, there is no longing to be seen in his crimson eyes.

He is Bell Craney.

Currently, he is a supporter belonging to the 'Soma Familia'.

Chapter 234 The 'Rabbit' Falls into the Trap, and the 'Cinderella' Stuck in the Mud

Lilyluka Erd, who just turned fifteen this year, is a Palum (dwarf) girl who is only 1.1 meters tall and has shoulder-length light brown curly hair.

Fifteen years ago, she was born during one of the darkest periods in Orario, and spent almost her entire childhood begging.

She didn't know what fatherly love or motherly love was. Her parents, who were more like strangers, never returned after entering the dungeon one time. Even after their passing, they didn't stir any emotion in her heart.

This is because, when she was a child, the words she heard most often from her parents were: "Go and get me more money."

besides……

"Slow and hesitant, and you still want money?"

"Let's just sell her to a brothel."

"No, it seems more interesting to stay in the clan and watch her ridiculous struggles."

……

The ridicule and persecution from adventurers had long been a daily occurrence for the girl.

At the age of thirteen, perhaps because she still had a rather unusual pursuit of 'beauty', Lily Luca awakened a transformation magic called 'Cinderella'.

This ability is undoubtedly one of the rarest, even when considering the entirety of Orario and the history of adventurers.

Because, with it, Lily Luca can transform into any creature, easily reproduce its racial characteristics, and even temporarily change her gender.

Furthermore, the closer the 'template' is to one's own physique and posture, the less 'magic power' is consumed during the transformation.

Even at a low level of Lv.1, she can maintain it around the clock.

From then on, Lily Luca embarked on a new path in life.

She began working as a thief to take revenge on the adventurers who had hurt her.

Unfortunately……

Her target for revenge was too 'vague'.

It's not aimed at 'certain individuals,' but at 'all adventurers.'

As a result, over the past two years, she has missed out on genuine 'good intentions' time and time again.

Ironically, even after realizing they were wrong, they would stubbornly laugh and say that those kind-hearted people were nothing more than hypocrites who acted on a whim.

Until the day before yesterday...

She met a truly kind-hearted boy whom she couldn't find any reason to slander.

however……

“Erd, this kid has just joined our clan. If you have time recently, you should take charge of training him... Don’t forget to explain those ‘precautions’ properly.”

The first time I saw that white-haired, red-eyed... innocent boy who looked like a 'rabbit', the latter was following his captain with extreme restraint.

Although he was somewhat afraid, the light in his eyes was still mostly 'excitement'.

Therefore, such a guy naturally has no idea what kind of villain has his eye on him.

At that moment, Lily Luca was certain that her captain... that man named 'Chanis Lustra' must have indulged in his own 'mischievous hobby' once again.

Because, just like years ago, when he stopped the other members from buying him into prostitution but gave the reason that "it would be more interesting to stay by her side and watch her struggle," Chanis showed that incredibly disgusting grin.

He is definitely not the kind of hypocrite who says one thing but means another.

After all, in order to become the current leader, he couldn't suppress his malice as soon as he reached level 2 and assassinated another candidate who could have become the leader.

The reason why the internal atmosphere of the Soma Familia has become so corrupt and chaotic is due, apart from the completely irresponsible chief god, to Chanis.

Unfortunately, these clues, which symbolized terror, went unnoticed by the overly impatient White Rabbit boy.

"Ah~ this guy is hopeless too."

Lily Luca made this remark that day.

That is indeed the case.

Only on the second day...

"If you want to receive Lord Soma's 'divine favor,' you must at least hand over 100,000 fali to me first, right?"

"One hundred thousand? This... Mr. Ganu, how could I possibly get that much money?"

"Then that's none of my business. Figure it out yourself."

One of the leader's henchmen, a burly dog-man named 'Ganu Belvey', didn't even bother to pretend to be a 'good guy' anymore. After 'Rabbit' fell into the trap, he immediately revealed his ugly true colors.

"Kid, don't even think about running away. If I find out you've secretly gone to another clan, you might lose something important someday, hahaha~"

"And you, Erd, if you can't even do a job watching people, you know what will happen."

“Yes, Lily understands, Mr. Ganu.”

……

That's what I said.

But in my heart, feelings of disgust had already filled me.

Looking at the boy beside her, whose dreams seemed to have been shattered, Lily felt a strange sense of sympathy for him.
