Genshin Impact: My entries are irresistible.

After spending about an hour at the Rock Tea House, satisfying Ye Lan's cravings, Lu Lin took his leave and returned to Chen Ge Hu.

It was already late at night, but he didn't disturb the girls' sleep. He sat alone in the square of Qunyu Pavilion, overlooking the entire Chenge Pot.

Due to the system upgrade, the usable range of the Dust Song Pot has been greatly expanded again. Previously, it was only a mountain and a valley, but now the expanded range includes most of the mountain range.

The lake area has expanded considerably, including a small island about a mile in circumference not far from the lake, creating many more fun places and making it easier for Lu Lin to accommodate the other girls.

The expansion of the activity area is just the most basic change. What surprised Lu Lin even more was that the Chen Ge Pot had added several new functions this time.

The first feature is that it enhances his flexibility in using the Dust Song Pot.

Previously, there were many restrictions on using the Dust Song Pot. You would return to the same location you entered the pot from.

For example, when he led Chiori and Charlotte into Chengehu from near Wanmintang, they would still appear near Wanmintang when they came out.

But now that restriction has changed; he can now use members residing in the Teyvat world as anchor points to teleport to them.

For example, if Hu Tao is currently handling business in Chenyu Valley, he can first enter Chenge Pot and then teleport to Hu Tao's side from Chenge Pot. Each member who enters the pot is an anchor point for him!

Furthermore, if a member encounters a major danger, he will receive a system alert and can provide support at any time.

The second function, in Lu Lin's opinion, was somewhat useless.

Chapter 128 The Road to Recovery from the End

The second function is forced entry, which means that Lu Lin can bring people into the Dust Song Pot and force them to enter as members. This function can only be used once a month.

This feature is rather useless to Lu Lin. With his current experience and the help of the keywords, he can just pursue whichever girl he likes himself. Why bother with this kind of forced method?

Unless... unless it's people from the opposing camp!

Lu Lin stroked his chin, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he had an idea!

In addition to these two new features, there are also some minor feature enhancements, such as various control permissions within the Dust Song Pot, as well as the control of small animals and microorganisms.

When the area where everyone could move around was relatively small and no other animals appeared, Lu Lin once thought that there were no small animals.

But in reality, the Dust Song Pot is a small world with a complete biosphere, only its activity range was limited before, and the system restricted the animals' activities.

This is also a good optimization; the whole pot looks more vibrant now.

Besides these functional enhancements, Lu Lin was even more looking forward to the new items available in the system's exchange shop.

Before entering the exchange shop, Lu Lin checked his host panel.

[Host: Lu Lin]

Number of resident members: 12

System Level: 3 (100/50000)

[Host terms: critical moment, insightful and wise, miraculous healing, skillful and dexterous, elegant and charming, creating something from nothing]

Elemental attributes: Ice, Fire, Rock, Electro, Grass, Wind

【Points: 40000】

After accumulating points for a while, I've reached 40,000. Looks like I can finally browse the mall properly.

Upon opening the shop interface, Lu Lin's first action was to purchase Soul Spirit Orbs.

The current integrity of Gui Zhong's remnant soul is 40.01%. One Soul Spirit Orb can restore 20%, and three more will be enough to complete Gui Zhong's soul.

Each Soul Spirit Orb costs 5,000 points, and Lu Lin spent 15,000 points with a wave of his hand.

He didn't rush to use the Soul Spirit Orb, but instead browsed the mall for a while longer.

The store has added a lot of good items, including various rare weapons or props, daily necessities, etc. Lu Lin didn't really need to buy anything, but he wanted to know what to buy so he could easily find and redeem what he needed when he needed it.

Finally, his gaze settled on a particular item: the number of times the term "creating something from nothing" had been used.

This item isn't cheap; it takes 50,000 points to redeem it once!

Lu Lin already had one use of the [Creation from Nothing] when he obtained it, so he wasn't in a hurry to buy more, and he couldn't afford it anyway.

......

After browsing the mall, Lu Lin took out three Soul Spirit Orbs from the system warehouse, his excitement hard to contain.

Once these three Soul Beads are used, Gui Zhong's soul will be restored to its full potential, and this ancient demon god will be successfully resurrected. How could he not be excited?

Although Lu Lin and Gui Zhong have never met, their entanglement is already very deep, leaving aside the system tasks.

On one hand, Lu Lin inherited the mantle of Gui Zhong's mechanical arts, and Gui Zhong can be considered his half-master; on the other hand, his woman Xian Yun is Gui Zhong's confidante and friend.

His resurrection and return to the end were also very important to him.

"Hmm~ Isn't it too hasty to revive him here? It lacks a sense of ceremony." Lu Lin sat in the square of Qunyu Pavilion, looked up at the sky, and considered whether to call Xianyun over to witness it together.

Never mind, it's almost midnight, she should be asleep by now, I shouldn't disturb her.

Maybe I should bring Guizhong to say good morning to her tomorrow morning and give her a surprise?

Having made up his mind, Lu Lin didn't bother with any fancy tricks and directly used up three Soul Spirit Beads.

On the final panel, the soul's integrity instantly reached 100%, and then—

Lu Lin blinked and waited for more than a minute, but nothing happened.

What happened? It didn't succeed? But my soul was 100% complete, how could it have failed?

Lu Lin frowned, mainly because the system hadn't issued a notification that the "Restoration and Return to the End" task was complete, which was not good.

Just as he was searching for the problem, another change occurred.

The green light that had been in his mind suddenly burst into bloom, and a female voice rang out: "Lu Lin... young friend, you don't need to worry, my soul has been restored, thank you for your help."

The voice was as gentle as a soft breeze, yet within that gentleness lay a barely perceptible...unnatural quality?

"You are... Gui Zhong?" Lu Lin didn't notice the strangeness in her tone and asked in surprise.

"It's me." Gui Zhong's voice also carried a faint joy. After all, after thousands of years, it was indeed something to be happy about that she was able to repair her soul and see the light of day again.

"What's going on? Why haven't you been resurrected even though your soul has been restored?"

"Hehe, because I only have a soul now, not a physical body. I must rebuild my physical body and perfectly integrate my soul and body to be considered fully resurrected."

Lu Lin slapped his forehead, annoyed, and said, "Oh dear, it's my fault for not thinking things through. I actually forgot about this. I thought that repairing your soul would be enough!"

"So what do we do now? How can I reshape your physical body?"

"Hmm~ I don't know either." Although it was a disappointing answer, Gui Zhong's voice was not annoyed, but rather had a touch of girlish lightness.

"It's alright. I'm already very satisfied that I can complete my soul and see those old friends."

"No, we've come this far, how can we give up so easily? I must find a way to help you rebuild your physical body as well."

Lu Lin didn't want to give up so easily. He wasn't just doing it for Gui Zhong, but also for himself. If Gui Zhong wasn't fully resurrected, he wouldn't be able to complete his mission and get the reward.

"You... really want to help me rebuild my physical body?" Gui Zhong's tone became strange again, and the unnatural feeling was quite obvious. This time, Lu Lin also noticed it.

What's going on? Am I not going to try to help you rebuild your physical body?

Lu Lin was a little confused.

and many more? !

Did she call me by my name as her first words? How did she know my name?

Could it be that she had actually regained consciousness long ago?

Right, no one says that an incomplete soul necessarily means a lack of consciousness!

A series of flashes of inspiration kept appearing in Lu Lin's mind, and he finally realized what was going on.

The remnant soul that returns to the end resides in one's mind!

If Gui Zhong regained consciousness when his soul was fully restored, wouldn't she have seen all the girls he was with during that time?

hiss!

That's it, my image in her mind is definitely fixed as a philandering lecher, and there's no way to change it now.

Then her strange tone just now can be explained. She mistakenly thought that her efforts to reshape her physical body were actually because she had improper thoughts about her.

It's a misunderstanding! I really didn't mean that!

"Ahem, of course I want to help you. After all, I inherited your mechanical skills and benefited greatly from them. It's only right that I do something for you!" Lu Lin replied, trying to appear calm.

Chapter 129 Sister Guizhong, this isn't the first time you've peeked, is it?

Gui remained noncommittal regarding Lu Lin's explanation, simply stating, "Reconstructing the physical body will inevitably be fraught with difficulties; there's no need to force it."

"Are there many difficulties? Not necessarily." When Lu Lin had a flash of inspiration just now, he also had an idea about how to reshape his physical body.

"Hey, you have a way?" Now it was Gui Zhong's turn to be surprised. But thinking about what she had seen and heard with Lu Lin during this time, this man always seemed to be able to create some miracles.

If you can save even a wisp of your soul that's about to dissipate, then having a way to reshape your physical body doesn't seem like a big deal.

"Hmm, there is indeed a way, but..."

"Just what?"

"Never mind, it's late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, your soul is already whole, so a day or two won't make a difference. Go to sleep first!" Lu Lin said evasively, not speaking directly.

……

The next morning, Lu Lin left Chengehu to go find Xianyun.

"It's rare for you to come see me so early in the morning. Is there something you need?" Xianyun was making breakfast and also made one for Lu Lin.

"I missed you, can't I come and see you?" Lu Lin naturally put his arm around her waist.

Xianyun was dressed in casual home clothes with an apron around her neck. The heavy bosom on her chest stretched the apron tightly, making her very eye-catching and giving her a very mature, womanly look.

"Where is Shen He?" Lu Lin whispered in her ear.

"Yesterday, Hu Tao and Xiang Ling dragged me out to play. I might be staying in the pot. Didn't you see me?"

"Hmm~ I was busy yesterday and didn't pay attention to their side."

"It's definitely not something serious," Xianyun said with a light sigh.

Why was he panting slightly? Because Lu Lin had already skillfully slipped into his loungewear and was gently kneading him, asking as he did so:

"Even less proper than we are now?"

"How would I know? Don't disturb my cooking~" Xianyun's voice was already a little soft.

Lu Lin didn't bother her any further, since Gan Yu had to go to work, and Xianyun and Gan Yu, master and apprentice, had a telepathic link.

Another reason is that I still have a concept of finality in my mind.

It was quite exciting to be seen being all lovey-dovey with her best friend under Gui Zhong's watchful gaze, but unfortunately, Gui Zhong herself didn't want to!

"Lu Lin, can you tone it down a bit? I'm watching." Gui Zhong's tone was strange.

She had wanted to say this for a long time.

When Lu Lin first used the Soul Spirit Orb to restore 20% of her soul, she regained consciousness.

At that time, her soul was still very fragile, unable to communicate with people, and could only passively observe the world.

Then she witnessed all sorts of embarrassing scenes between Lu Lin, Ningguang Keqing, and Gan Yu.

She couldn't stop it, nor could she block out her senses; she could only watch passively.

Later, more and more girls joined in, and even Xianyun, one of her best friends from back then, was not spared, and she joined her apprentice...

When her soul was restored to 40%, Gui Zhong was able to communicate with Lu Lin on her own initiative.

But after watching so many live broadcasts, how could she possibly speak up? She could only continue to play dumb!

After replenishing her soul yesterday, she originally intended to continue pretending to be mute, but seeing Lu Lin's anxious appearance, she felt a pang of sympathy.

After all, he had paid a considerable price to save me, using five of those precious Soul Spirit Beads; he should at least give me some feedback.

That's why she pretended to have just recovered and chatted with Lu Lin for a few minutes.

Of course, he might not be fully alert yet after recovering, so his act wasn't very successful; Lu Lin saw through it yesterday.

I thought this guy would tone it down a bit after I "woke up," but I didn't expect him to be completely unchanged. He even made a move on my best friend right in front of me.

Old habits die hard!
