Honkai Impact 5 vs. Genshin Impact, I'll provide the venue.

"You're just an NPC, you can't surrender."

In short, all of Yae no Kamiko's escape routes were blocked. Only now did she realize that she could not join the Demon King's army.

"Then...then...then could you please not eliminate me now?"

No one has been eliminated yet. If I were eliminated now, wouldn't I be punished?

"Don't worry, I won't eliminate you now."

These NPCs are still useful, so Lei Movie doesn't plan to eliminate Yae no Kamiko right now.

"Oh, okay, then you can come."

In fact, what Yae no Miko fears is punishment. As long as she is not punished, losing is losing.

He grabbed Yae no Miko and tossed her to Kujo Sara, saying, "Keep an eye on her. We'll go back after I conquer this castle."

"Yes, General."

Kujo Sara nodded solemnly, glancing at Yae no Miko during the process. As expected, a mere NPC couldn't possibly stand against the general.

On the other side of the continent, a petite figure pulled her longsword from the monster and tilted her head back.

"how?"

The two people beside him quickly echoed his sentiments.

"Impressive, Paimon the Hero is indeed impressive, he can already kill a slime solo."

“A mere slime is no match for the hero Paimon.”

Paimon nodded, a satisfied look on his face.

"You two are quite good. As long as you follow this hero, no demon king will be a problem."

Paimon was very pleased with himself. So what if you guys are powerful? You still have to listen to me.

With a wave of her hand, she said, "Black Swan, Ningguang, let's go to the next city. If we can find two more people, we can break through that bloody castle."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

You're so smug, aren't you? I'll show you something big later.

Their original plan was to first storm the village and eliminate any stragglers. But they never expected to encounter a hero, and this hero was none other than Paimon, completely oblivious to his own limitations.

And so, a plan emerged in Ningguang's mind.

Join Paimon, then go fishing.

As for how to fish, naturally Paimon recruits players and then leads them to Silver Wolf's castle.

They believed that as long as all of the hero's companions were eliminated, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble on his own.

Upon arriving at a castle, Paimon led the two inside first, then headed straight for the tavern.

"Wow, so many people!"

There are many players in this city, most of whom gather in the tavern. When they saw the three people enter, their eyes lit up. Only the brave can travel the world independently.

Swish.

A little gray-haired boy immediately stood up and quickly came to the group's side.

"Which of you is the brave one? Team up with me! I'm really good."

His gaze swept over Ningguang and Black Swan repeatedly, conveying the same message: team up.

"Hey... I'm the hero."

Paimon was unhappy. "How can you be like this? Do you look down on the hero Paimon?"

"Pat...Patmon."

The fiery gazes dimmed, and the other players who wanted to come up and promote themselves all turned their heads away.

Let's wait and see.

Seeing that these guys actually looked down on Paimon, Ningguang immediately stepped forward.

"Everyone, this is our hero Paimon, who is currently level 37. We still need two more spots. Anyone interested in signing up?"

"What? Level 37!"

"so smart!"

The group, who had initially been quite dismissive, suddenly became interested upon hearing Paimon's level; this little guy was quite impressive.

"Me." Xing immediately stood up again and walked over: "I'm a level 15 warrior, definitely your best teammate."

"level 15?"

Standing tall and proud on the table, Paimon glanced at Xing with disdain.

"Unqualified, next one."

"Oh dear, you little brat, you look down on me."

Xing was furious. "You're always the one looking down on others, and now you're looking down on me?"

To everyone's surprise, Paimon pointed at Ningguang and Black Swan: "They are level 40 mages and priests, you are not qualified."

Don't let Paimon's usual silly demeanor fool you; she has her own clever tricks. When it comes to teaming up... you have to team up with high-level players. If the whole team is high-level, wouldn't it be much easier?

Just like before, as long as Ningguang and Black Swan are there, I don't need to lift a finger; I can just wait to gain experience. As long as my level is high enough, even the Demon King is no match for me.

Didn't you see I took down a slime with a single sword strike?

(Dede) Level 40... Level 40.

This level shocked everyone, and they all wondered how these two had leveled up so quickly, and how they could be level 40.

Keqing scanned the crowd, walked up to Ningguang, nudged her with her elbow, and whispered, "How did you level up so high?"

"Grinding monsters."

Ningguang's expression shifted, her gaze wandering elsewhere. "How are you supposed to level up? I was born level 80! How can you people compare?"

"Then talk to Paimon and ask him to team up with me. I'm a level 21 Red Mage, I can use sword skills and support magic."

"Um... how about you wait for the next hero?"

Ningguang really didn't want to team up with Keqing. I'm leading people to their deaths, what do you mean by sending them up here so eagerly?

"You... fine, I'll wait."

They actually look down on me? Fine, don't team up then. Don't think you're so great just because you're a high level. If you follow Paimon, you won't even know how you died.

Returning to the crowd with a disgruntled expression, Keqing decided that she would never be friends with Ningguang again.

Chapter 169: I've been tricked again.

"Hehe, feeling discouraged, huh?"

Beidou chuckled to herself. She knew Ningguang wouldn't team up with Keqing. It was already a favor that this woman didn't laugh at them, let alone team up with them.

"Why don't you try it?"

“Me?” Beidou pointed to herself, then shook her head: “I’d better not go for me, she won’t team up with me.”

She understood that Ningguang held a significant place in Paimon's heart, and Paimon would likely agree if Ningguang wanted to form a team with her. However... she and Ningguang didn't get along, so Ningguang would definitely not form a team with her.

Just as she was thinking this, Ningguang spotted her first.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Beidou? Want to team up?"

"what?"

Beidou was dumbfounded. No matter how she thought about it, she never expected Ningguang to come looking for her!

Why did you refuse when Keqing asked you to team up, but instead came to me?

What does this mean? Is it meant to attack Ke Qing?

"I'm only level 19, are you sure?"

"Level is not a problem, I can help you gain experience."

"why me?"

"We're old acquaintances, you know what I mean."

Ningguang gave Beidou a knowing look, but in her heart she was shouting, "Come on, let's team up. I'll get you out of here first, you who's always going against me."

If we are eliminated now, we will be punished.

Last time, Beidou made a fool of us; this time, we'll get our revenge.

Beidou glanced at Ningguang and Keqing, and finally gave Keqing an apologetic smile.

"let's go."

Paimon is already over level 30, so it's obvious that Ningguang and Black Swan carried him. She doesn't believe Paimon could have leveled up by himself.

On the other side, Paimon had also chosen a teammate.

Diluc, the 24th warrior.

Thus, the Paimon Squad was officially established.

Paimon: Hero, Level 37.

Diluc: Warrior, 24.

Beidou: Pirate, Level 19.

Ningguang: Illusionist, Level 80.

Black Swan: The Memory Thief, Level 80.

Of course, the latter two were announced as a level 40 mage and a priest.

After resting in the city, Paimon's team headed towards the Blood Castle in the distance. They had already found out that there was a vampire bride as the BOSS inside, as well as some good treasures. Their team was determined to capture her.

"Ugh...bad guy."

Watching the group leave, Keqing was furious. She felt like Ningguang had rejected her.

"Just watch, I'll definitely assemble an even better team."

She was indignant, thinking her own class wasn't bad either, so why did she end up with Beidou, who are both physical attackers? She and Diluc were practically the same!

Under the moonlight, the group gazed intently at the ancient castle.

"Gentlemen, this is the territory of the Blood Lord." Ningguang pointed to the castle and introduced, "According to the investigation, there is only a vampire bride inside at the moment. As long as we kill her, we can not only gain a lot of experience, but the treasures inside should also be quite good."

"Very well, let's go."

Paimon immediately waved his little hand forward, leading his friends to charge inside.

She's comfortable now. She has Diluc and Beidou as forwards, Ningguang for magic, and Black Swan for healing. She doesn't have to lift a finger and can just wait to gain experience.

Sure enough, this was the team that Master Paimon had in mind.

It's just a pity that Ying didn't end up with me.

She had already decided that she would keep the team as it was for now, and as soon as she found Luna, she would immediately kick Diluc out and let Luna join the team.

Although it's really unfair to Diluc, what can we do? We can't just kick Beidou out, she was introduced to the team by Ningguang, we can't do that.

If you offend the team's only designated big shot, things won't be fun anymore.

Upon entering the castle, countless monsters rushed out, drawn by the scent.

Beidou and Diluc immediately stepped in front of them.

"boom!"

Just then, a flame shot out from behind, and all the monsters vanished in an instant, while the experience points surged.

The two were dumbfounded. Was this a little too easy?

Is Ningguang really that powerful?

"keep going."
