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

Chapter Twenty-Five: Small Progress

With the conclusion of the 'Gathering of Gods', the shared 'title' for Sora and Luminous was thus established.

That evening, the guild immediately dispatched several highly capable internal staff members to publish a list of all the aliases of the newly promoted senior adventurers compiled by the gods.

That night, a steady stream of people flowed in front of the 'notification board' next to its headquarters.

Some adventurers, like their own gods, let out a wail of utter shame and ran away in tears.

That's terrible.

A few adventurers, their eyes shining, felt that the title their gods looked down on was actually quite cool.

Well, I have to mention something here...

Inside this fantastical world descended by the gods, the beings of the lower realms seem to have no idea what "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome) is.

But the gods know.

Therefore, when the gods see titles like "Eternal Night Holy Demon Prince" or "Madman Overlord Warrior," they either smirk or cover their faces.

But the beings in the lower realm felt:

"Ah, as expected of a god, to be able to come up with such a brilliant name."

It can be described as a generational gap... no, a generational gap in 'dimensions'.

Unfortunately, Ling Shu, being a time traveler from the Celestial Empire, also knew the 'insider' details of this matter.

That's why he was actually a little uneasy before, fearing that those fun-loving guys would cause trouble for him.

Fortunately, Freya worked very well.

The title "Twin Stars" may have a slightly cringeworthy feel, but at least it doesn't make people feel extremely embarrassed.

and……

"What kind of title do you (your original self) want in the future?"

Two more days passed before Ling Shu, the "person involved," was informed of the relevant results.

On this day, having successfully completed his pre-set 'small goal' of raising all members of his 'team' to Lv.20 Genshin Impact level, he was summoned directly to the top floor of the Tower of Babel by Otto as soon as he came out of the dungeon... which is Freya's residence, the exclusive abode of the 'main god of the strongest familiar of the current era'.

Still standing in front of that floor-to-ceiling window that offered a panoramic view of Orario, Ling Shu, who hadn't been in 'Aerial Firefly' mode for a long time, saw that alluring goddess once again.

At this moment, the latter changed back into her usual bold outfit—a black dress with red trim. She sat casually, crossing her long legs, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Ling Shu with a languid yet meaningful expression. "On this matter, I respect your own opinion."

Upon hearing this…

"Something ordinary, something that doesn't look particularly eye-catching, is fine."

Ling Shu shrugged and spread his hands, replying, "This also makes it easier for me to hide my true identity."

"For example, 【Traveler】is a good choice."

Hearing him say that...

"Oh?"

Freya said with a playful tone, "I thought you would be like the other children and want a title like 'Lord of All Stars'."

"Hmm, you know what, this title really suits you right now, doesn't it?"

"..."

Ling Shu knew Freya was deliberately teasing him in a half-joking manner, and he was somewhat speechless. "Please stop messing around."

"Heh~"

Seeing the slightly troubled expression on the black-haired youth's face beside her, Freya chuckled with pleasure.

Lately, she has been enjoying this relaxed and casual atmosphere.

There was no way around it; whether it was Ota or Allen... although they both 'admired' him, deep down they still had a kind of 'lower' respect for him.

Being respected is not a bad thing.

But as a deity who has lived for hundreds of millions of years, Freya, who is practically a god of fun, also hopes to have the opportunity to experience new things.

Currently, only Ling Shu can do this.

Therefore, Freya was happy to use methods she had never tried before to get along with this 'younger brother' and gradually make their relationship more harmonious.

At present...

"Speaking of which, you've been tackling dungeons lately, so you must have 'grown' quite a bit, right?"

Freya casually asked, "Should we update the [Ability Values]?"

"Ah."

Ling Shu nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."

Upon hearing this brief reply, Freya pointed to a cushion chair next to her and asked Ling Shu to move it over so she could sit down.

Before long, the latter lifted his shirt in front of him, revealing the 'God's Grace' totem that was locked on the back.

As divine blood dripped down...

------

While observing the above information, Freya casually completed the 'printing' work.

Then, he handed the parchment containing all the data to Ling Shu.

The latter took it with his backhand...

"Yes, as expected."

Undoubtedly, although the total increase in the main body's [basic abilities] exceeded 700 points this time, it was still much lower than the previous record of 'breaking 1,000'.

However, it's normal that [ability values] become increasingly difficult to improve as you progress.

After all, not everyone can awaken a skill like 'One Heart Yearning' that accelerates growth and is practically an experience booster.

Ling Shu, on the other hand, also possesses his own overpowered abilities, so he won't become a sour grapes and make sarcastic remarks.

Next...

The updates to Sora and Ying's [ability stats] are very 'simple and unpretentious'.

Looking at the string of 'sss-1999' data for the five major attributes of [Basic Abilities]... not to mention Freya, even Ling Shu himself couldn't help but sigh:

"This is what 'cheating' means."

It is obvious that the Traveler Twins, who have now raised their Genshin Impact level to Lv.20, possess combat power comparable to the 'limit of the limit of Lv.2 Adventurers'.

This is a height that even a certain red-eyed rabbit boy, who is the protagonist of the main story, could never reach in the original future timeline.

Unfortunately, Ling Shu already has as many as 'five' such overpowered individuals on his hands.

In addition, there's Paimon, who can definitely be considered the 'strongest supporter'...

"I feel that next time I enter the dungeon, I should be able to head straight for the 'eighteenth floor'."

The dungeon floor 18 is one of the very few safe floors that does not normally spawn monsters.

Although monsters from lower levels occasionally roam around there, due to its rare local characteristics, adventurers have even built a transit town called "Rivera" on that floor.

It even has a 'hotel' inside.

Ling Shu really wanted to go there and see it.

however……

"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you."

After Freya finished printing the [ability value] information for Sora and Yingtuo, she handed the two parchments to Ling Shu, who had just deactivated the 'Airborne Firefly' state again. She then subconsciously tapped her left palm with her right hand and reminded him, "These next few days, don't rush to conquer the dungeon by yourself."

"Ok?"

Ling Shu frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What... what trouble has happened?"

He knew that Freya's Familia, as the strongest of the current generation, was prestigious on the surface, but had quite a few 'shady dealings' behind the scenes.

Leaving aside external threats, there are certainly a lot of internal problems.

Especially those officers who are 'Level 1 Adventurers', they are all hot-tempered guys who wish they could kill all their other colleagues.

Why is 'he/she' attracting so much attention lately? Could it be that he/she has been targeted? (PS: Ling Shu currently has no idea about the specific developments related to that secret meeting.)

Based on this premise...

Although he had already achieved his small goal of leveling up all existing characters to Lv.20 and hadn't drawn any new character cards, so there was no need to rush into another "grinding" session, he was still thinking about upgrading some of the "weapons" he had acquired in the past few days.

If possible, we should refine it further.

Therefore, Ling Shu originally planned to rest for one night and continue running into the underground city the next day.

But now it seems...

"Don't worry, nothing bad has happened."

"It's only good for you."

Seeing Ling Shu's serious expression, Freya chuckled and explained, "A few days ago, I met with the chief god of the Loki Familia and successfully obtained two spots to participate in the 'Expedition' from her."

"With your current abilities, it's time to find an opportunity to broaden your horizons at a 'deeper' level."
