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

Quite impatient.

But it is precisely this impatience that makes Tsubaki enjoy it.

There's a childlike mentality at play, like, "Hey, I'm just kidding you, but you just can't beat me, aren't you angry? Aren't you angry?"

Of course, as the leader of the Hephaestus Familia, Tsubaki is deeply trusted by her own god and her fellow members, and is clearly not the kind of hothead who can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent.

But now... as she said, she's very free, so she might want to find something to do.

"Oh, I remember now."

Chun clapped her hands, took a step around Welf's obstacle, and peeked at Ling Shu (Kong), "You are the one in Freya Familia... who leveled up to Lv.2 in a week [Stars]."

She then turned her gaze back to Welf, "I never expected you to know such a high-profile person."

"Tsk~"

Somewhat resigned to their fate, Welf looked helplessly at Tsubaki and clicked his tongue, asking, "What exactly do you want?"

Seeing how directly he asked the question...

"I just happened to see you passing by, so I came over to take a look... By the way, where are you headed?"

Chun clearly knew Welf's current situation and predicament, so she thought for a moment and said, "I didn't bring any equipment with me, so I wasn't planning on going to the dungeon in a party..."

"Sigh, I was just teaching Kong how to choose the right materials for weapon forging."

Welf surrendered and revealed the purpose of their mission.

Go with the flow...

“These past few days, Welf has helped me a lot… Indeed, we have been planning to team up and go to the dungeon together recently.”

"However, today I'm going to try forging a piece of 'high-level equipment' myself, so I'd like to ask Welf to take a look."

Ling Shu (Kong) also knew that he couldn't just stand by and do nothing forever, so he mentioned it briefly.

Upon hearing this…

"Trying to forge advanced equipment?"

Chun showed an interested expression.

Seeing this, Ling Shu (Kong) nodded and directly stated a piece of data that he did not need to hide from the other party, "Yes, the first [development ability] I chose before was - forging."

"Hehe."

Chun raised her hand again, habitually stroking her chin. "So that's how it is."

She seemed to have thought of something... or rather, confirmed something. She glanced sideways at Welf, who was about to turn and leave, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Alright, seeing that you're all quite busy, I won't tease you anymore."

Chun patted Welf on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Yesterday afternoon, the Quirrell family's shop received a new batch of good goods. If you want to choose suitable weapon forging materials, you can go there and take a look."

See you later~

After leaving behind those few words, the outgoing Chun left on her own.

Watching her retreating figure, Welf breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help complaining, "That girl, I really don't know what she wanted to do by suddenly running over here?"

One side...

Perhaps it's true that 'the onlooker sees most of the game,' but Ling Shu did see through the other party's intentions.

Without a doubt, Welf is a member that Tsubaki values ​​highly. The former even has an ambiguous relationship with her own god... And suddenly, a stranger appears beside such a promising talent... As the leader of the group, and also Welf's elder, Tsubaki definitely needs to pay close attention.

Of course, she also genuinely wanted to tease her younger brother.

However, after stopping there and seeing Welf's helpless expression and complete surrender, she was 'satisfied' and subtly helped him a little.

That's not...

"The Quirrell family's shop?"

Welf, being a blacksmith himself, didn't dwell too much on the source of this not-so-significant piece of information.

He genuinely wanted to help Ling Shu (Kong), so he turned to look at the latter and suggested, "Continuing to wander around like this is a bit of a waste of time. Let's go take a look there."

Seeing Ling Shu's (empty) strange expression...

"Well, that woman (Tsubaki) is extremely difficult to deal with, but her forging skills and eye for materials are absolutely top-notch."

"In my opinion, looking at the whole of Orario, it is probably only second to Lady Hephaestus and God Guberneus."

Welf quickly tried to argue his case.

Clearly, this also demonstrates the members' trust in the group leader.

But... there's a bit of arrogance mixed in with it.

Seriously, what's with all the arrogance about a real man like you?

Ling Shu (Kong) thought to himself, then smiled amiably and didn't say anything.

"I'll do as you say, let's go."

He shrugged slightly. "You're right. If the material selection takes too long, we might not be able to finish today."

"I have other things to do tonight, and... I can't keep taking up your time like this."

"Uh, it's nothing."

Welf waved his hand dismissively, "To be honest, after teaching newbies the basics again, my forging skills have improved quite a bit."

"Like that kind of big horse..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Let's go select the ingredients first. If we keep being so polite, it'll be lunchtime soon."

"That's true."

Upon hearing Ling Shu's (Kong's) reminder, Welf nodded. "Let's go to the Quirrell family's materials store first... Oh, right."

As he walked, he turned his head to look at Ling Shu (Kong), "Jian Gang's prices are all quite high, although I forgot to ask before..."

"Did you bring enough money?"

Ha, you underestimate me, don't you?

"Is 30 million enough?"

"..."

Welf was silent for a moment, then said, "Never mind, I didn't ask."

Chapter Seventy-Six: The Legendary Modern Artifact...

It was half an hour later when Ling Shu (Kong) selected the weapon forging materials with Welf's help and went straight to the latter's personal forging workshop.

Speaking of which, recently, apart from being away for seven days on an expedition, Ling Shu (Kong) has been coming here every day to learn basic forging techniques from Welf. He's become so familiar with the place that he's treating this wooden house like his childhood home in the back mountains of his hometown.

In short, the two of them entered the room one after the other carrying packages of materials...

Clang!

The heavy object landed, and Welf shook his slightly sore shoulders, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned to look at Ling Shu (Kong), "Speaking of which, what kind of weapon are you planning to make for your first official work?"

"Greatsword? Dual swords? Or..."

"Well..."

Ling Shu (Kong) smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, I plan to make something completely new that Orario will never have."

"oh oh?"

Welf's eyes lit up.

"Of course, this also..."

"I know, I know, this is a technology from your 'hometown,' not something you invented yourself, understand!"

Welf had a general understanding of Ling Shu's (Kong's) personality... or rather: some of his very 'persistent' traits.

Honestly, this kind of personality is actually quite compatible with him.

Of course, what's attracting his attention most right now is...

"What on earth is this new gadget? It's all so mysterious..."

As a blacksmith determined to gain the approval of the one-eyed, red-haired female craftswoman (and at the same time, to woo her), Welf is very interested in this field.

Well, for now, except for the Demon Sword.

The future is uncertain.

at the moment……

"The equipment I'm going to forge can saw, chop, stab, chisel, and can also be used as a shield, grappling hook, rivet... or even a 'flint starter.' It's not only multifunctional but also very portable."

Ling Shu (Kong) went on and on, making Welf's head spin.

The latter couldn't help but ask, "Is there really such amazing equipment?"

"of course."

Ling Shu (Kong) crossed his arms, striking a pose unlike the silly girl's hands on her hips... and said smugly, "Today, I'll show you something."

"Hehe?"

Welf's competitive spirit was also aroused, and he grinned and asked, "Then how about we compete with your work when it's released?"

He pointed to a large sword hanging on the wall. "This is my best work so far. Dare to challenge me?"

"No comparison."

"..."

Seeing Ling Shu's straightforward answer, Welf immediately deflated.

Then, he saw the former make a gesture with his right hand, and a 'training greatsword' condensed and took shape with golden light particles. He then gripped it with one hand and slammed it directly into the ground.

One of the mourners pointed to the one-star Genshin Impact weapon that was given away for free when drawing a character, and said with a wicked smile, "Here, you can use this if you want to have a contest. If you can cut a hole in it, I'll admit defeat."

Welf was completely speechless.

Several days ago, he had already witnessed the magical creation that Ling Shu (Kong) could conjure up at will.
