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

"Having you temporarily join my team is no problem."

While the two sides were discussing, Ling Shu (Kong) informed Welf, "However, for the next period of time, I will be going to the Deep Layer with the main force of the Loki Familia to participate in the 'Expedition,' and we will depart in three days."

"If you want to team up with me, you'll probably have to wait a while longer..."

"no problem."

The appearance of Ling Shu (Kong) is a lifeline for Welf at the moment.

So, upon hearing that he would only have to wait a little longer, he didn't hesitate and readily agreed, adding with great tact, "I was the one who asked you for help and made a somewhat unreasonable request, so of course I should consider your time... Wait a minute~"

Welf was the kind of young man who was a little oblivious. He only realized halfway through his sentence, "You're going on a deep 'expedition' with the Loki Familia in three days?"

"correct."

"You just reached Lv.2, right?"

"Ah."

Ling Shu (Kong) shrugged. "In the Loki Familia's expedition team, there are also quite a few Lv.2s responsible for logistics."

"Oh, logistics."

Welf then showed a knowing look, as if to say, "No wonder you wanted to take advantage of these few days to learn the basics of 'forging'."

Ling Shu didn't intend to explain further.

Let Welf fill in the blanks himself.

"However, I don't think this last-minute cramming will be very effective."

This red-haired young man, whom they had only recently met, seemed quite concerned about Ling Shu's situation.

Regarding this...

"Don't worry, these are just some of my personal hobbies."

Ling Shu (Kong) chuckled and said, "Imagine fighting with a weapon you forged yourself. Doesn't that give you an innate feeling of 'oneness of mind and body'?"

"oh oh?"

Welf agreed with this statement. "You think so too?"

In short, Ling Shu is indeed quite interested in matters of 'forging'.

Generally speaking, it belongs to the mindset of a 'naive teenager seeing something new for the first time'.

Fortunately, Welf did not dislike his attitude.

And so, the two sides quickly reached an agreement...

Let's go back to the present—

"Are you a monster?"

"Huh? I'm human!"

In the 'personal forging workshop' assigned to Welf by the goddess Hephaestus, the latter saw Ling Shu (Kong) swinging the hammer quite skillfully on his first attempt at blacksmithing. After a while, he couldn't help but start to complain: "You're humming a song and you're still so steady. Don't you get tired?"

"They've been hammering for seven hours straight."

Well, the two of them, one learning and the other teaching, both forgot to eat lunch.

and……

Sorry, 'unlimited stamina' really does allow you to do whatever you want.

Chapter Thirty-Eight 'Expedition' Begins

People often say that time always flies when you're focused on doing something.

Recently, Ling Shu (Kong) has been able to spend less time with Ying.

He would go to Welf's personal forging workshop every day.

I've actually started to get really interested in 'forging'.

Their proficiency in basic technologies has been steadily improving.

Meanwhile, Ying, who was separated from him for the short term, was temporarily staying inside the 'Twilight Mansion'.

Although it's somewhat against the rules to let a 'non-family member' stay overnight at the camp, it just goes to show that 'Teyvatwan Queen' really knows what she's doing.

As the leader of the group, Finn, though unaware of his specific considerations, was still persuaded by Loki, Tiona, and others to arrange a temporary guest room for Ying, much to his amusement and dismay.

The location is near Ais and the others' dormitory.

In this way...

Putting aside the jarring notion of 'easy to monitor,' the girls would gather in Ying's room almost every night.

At this time, Ying would tell some fantastical stories that no one had ever heard before, but which were very interesting, making everyone's eyes light up.

In particular, Tiona, with her angelic personality, was inspired by some tales of heroes during a difficult period in her childhood, which helped her to recover. To this day, she still loves listening to stories.

She had either listened to the classic collections of stories about Orario multiple times, or she had heard them all before, or she had heard them all in a bunch of uninteresting copycat works. Not only did they fail to create anything original, but some of them were even just reskinned versions of the originals and released without any originality.

therefore……

"Yingying, I think you could do some side hustle in this area!"

"The stories you told were all very interesting."

"If it were released, it would definitely sell like hotcakes in Orario, and even worldwide."

One night, Tiona and others, who were at their usual gathering to listen to stories, raised this opinion.

But regarding this...

“These stories are not my works, so I have no right to decide whether to release them on behalf of the original authors.”

Ying... or rather Ling Shu himself, has always been quite averse to the behavior of plagiarists.

Yes, it's really satisfying to use those classic masterpieces from around the world to show off.

How could you not feel good about being admired from a height that doesn't belong to you, and having to put in almost no effort or dedication?

But can that be considered 'one's own' thing?

When plagiarists shamelessly sign their own names, this form of plagiarism, because it's too far away to be caught, can be easily overlooked with a simple "I stand on the shoulders of giants."

Regardless of what others think, Ling Shu doesn't like doing this kind of thing.

therefore……

“I can tell you these stories, but using them to make business opportunities… is ultimately not appropriate.”

This is Ying's answer.

As for Tiona and the others, as long as their own curiosity and expectations are satisfied, they will not interfere too much with Ying's judgment, but will only respect... and approve of her decision.

In short, it was in this friendly atmosphere that...

Aside from the evening gatherings... during the day, Ying would often be invited to practice simulated battles with Ais, Tiona, and Tione.

It is worth mentioning that during this process, because they chose to hone their skills directly in the garden of the 'Twilight Pavilion', other members would occasionally pass by or observe from the sidelines, provided that they did not disturb the efficiency of their training.

Of course, those who stayed to watch the battle were all members of the group who were quite familiar with Ais and the others.

For example: [The Noble Cat] Anachidi Ottom, [The Clown Waitress] Linne Yarushe, [The Garden of Purity] Alicia Foreslight, [The Book of the Dao] Elfi Clayt, etc.

Uh, why are they all young ladies?

Forget it, forget it.

Overall, these spectators are also learning and summarizing their experiences, which is something that the "Big Three" and Loki are happy to see.

Of course, they had discussed this matter with Ying beforehand and received her approval.

As time went on, not only did Ying's individual combat abilities gradually gain recognition from more and more members, but after chatting for a while, her network of relationships within the Loki Familia also became increasingly rich.

In just a few days, it almost reached the point where 'everyone was forgetting that Ying came from the Freya Familia'.

That's terrifying!

As for Ying, she didn't come away empty-handed either.

It's worth noting that the new method of using wind elemental power that she is currently developing is based on Ais's 'Wind Spirit Swiftness' technique.

Now that the 'prototype' is right in front of her, she certainly won't miss the opportunity to learn from it.

Similarly, this matter also received the approval of Ais... and even the 'Big Three'.

Let's just say it's a case of 'giving me a peach and I'll repay you with a precious jade.'

Clearly, this is an opportunity that can only be obtained based on 'good interpersonal relationships'.

Yingmei's easygoing and sociable attitude wasn't entirely unaffected... *cough*

Not much gossip.

In short, with Ais's help, even though this emotionless girl was really bad at teaching, Ying still managed to perfect the 'new move' at the last minute.

She even went further and discovered the effect of 'making the shape of the weapon appear erratic by using wind pressure to refract light'.

They then jokingly named the new move "Pseudo-Wind King Barrier".

And so, three days passed...

The day finally arrived when the Loki Familia officially began their 'expedition'.

******

The nature of 'Expedition' is completely different from that of regular daily dungeon raids.

First, within Orario, when a high god registers their faction information, the 'guild' will ask: What specific faction does the familia you are creating belong to?

For example, the Hephaestus Familia and the Gubernium Familia belong to the logistics 'forging' category.

For example, the Deankat Familia and the Mih Familia belong to the logistics 'pharmacy' category.

In the early stages of their establishment, these families had to go through quite complicated procedures.

The only exception is the 'Dungeon Exploration' class.
