Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

"Humph. I won't argue with you. Back then, I don't know who insisted on taking the piano with him when he went shopping. He has no shame at all!"

Guizhong seemed to be quite upset about this matter and glared at her with a puffed face, while Aping just smiled arrogantly in response.

"That's a hundred times better than your cowherd's bell-like toy."

"How dare you call my dust-cleaning bell a toy? You mean-spirited Ping!"

"If you hadn't broken my strings, why wouldn't I lend it to you? Also, don't call me Ping. This is proof of my friendship with Kuxue. It feels like there's sand in my ears when you call me that."

After another round of back and forth confrontation, Gui finally became so angry that he stomped his feet, and A Ping also had veins on her forehead.

In order to avoid further arguments, Kuxue had to raise her voice a little.

"Okay, please stop arguing!"

After calming the two men down a little, the girl first looked at Guizhong who was still unwilling to stop fighting.

"-Mom! Now is not the time for a quarrel. If we don't make plans in advance, if the big demon attacks, the people of Guiliji will be in danger. Please calm down and show your leadership."

"... Wow, although I am unwilling to be lectured by Kuxue in front of outsiders, this is indeed the situation at the moment..."

Gui Zhong's little face suddenly deflated. He covered his eyes with his wide sleeves and hid aside as if sobbing.

The girl could only hug her to get close to her. This made Guizhong smile again, and soon he put his arms around Kuxue's waist, hid behind her, and secretly made faces at Ah Ping.

In response, Kuxue had to pretend that she didn't see it and spoke to Aping, who looked embarrassed and annoyed.

"And Ping, since you came here to compete with mom, I believe you would rather completely beat her in music, rather than taking advantage of her misfortune and winning by cheating, right?"

"Well—it's natural."

Ah Ping pursed her lips slightly and walked down the stairs.

The girl also breathed a sigh of relief and spoke instead.

"Then, could you please wait in Guiliji for a while, so that my mother and I can finish solving this important matter that threatens Guiliyuan?"

After thinking for a while, Aping nodded.

"Okay. But please don't forget your promise to me—"

"Of course, once this matter is settled, Kuxue will come to invite you personally!"

The girl answered her with a smile.

"Then I have no objection. For the time being... I will temporarily stay in Guiliji. If you need anything, just call me by my name."

"Is he called Ah Ping, or Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun? And how did you two know each other?"

Seeing how close the two were, Gui Zhong said in a low voice with some jealousy.

"Nothing to do with you."

A Ping just glared at her coldly, and the girl made a big cross on her chest.

"No asking!"

"Wow... the cute little Kuxue is about to be kidnapped by a bad woman. I have to go find Li to discuss it!"

Seeing the two of them express their opinions at the same time, Gui finally curled his lips in annoyance and prepared to leave.

However, A Ping transmitted the message through the air at this time.

"——The end."

"Even if you apologize to me secretly, I won't hand Kuxue over to you, okay?"

"Don't interrupt. When I was traveling in the mortal world, I also heard about this great demon who played with the souls of the dead. I know that he is cruel, has many evil beasts under his command, and has committed a lot of murder. If it is not necessary, it is best not to let Kuxue go to the front line."

"……I see."

Chapter 20: Watch out, this is how the mechanical trick is used!

Although they had a small fight, it was not as childish as it seemed. It was just a tacit understanding between her and Ge Chenlangshi.

The tacit understanding of each other confirming that the other person is still the person in their memory.

The world is unfair nowadays, and the demons, gods, and immortals, who have extremely long lifespans, sometimes take a nap or go into seclusion, and spend countless years in the mortal world.

People like Heng who often deal with humans are inevitably infected with their "habits".

Those little people are always as tiny and fragile as dust.

Feelings are extremely delicate and sensitive. Once people really get into them, it is hard to forget them and they keep falling deeper and deeper.

Both Gui Zhong and Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun have a deep understanding of this.

Therefore, they actually value their friendship more than anyone else and are more unwilling to see it change.

In order to remain unchanged in this chaotic world, one must have strength and wisdom.

Now, she is still too weak and afraid of losing... Therefore, she wants to work harder, become smarter, and do everything she can.

Only then could she feel at ease.

The investigation into the Great Demon began to proceed in an orderly manner under Guizhong's arrangements.

Upon learning that there was a great demon invading, the Emperor, who had just settled another war, also led his Yakshas to go there together, but only found out about it through inquiries.

The demon's lair was actually at Wuwangpo.

Wuwangpo is where the dead roam, and it is separated from Guiliyuan by a Dihuazhou. Many demons have died here, and their memories are hard to get rid of. If he rashly enters the depths, he will be involved.

Although he was not afraid of the demons rising up to attack him, the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortals would certainly suffer heavy losses and would also be in danger of being attacked from the rear.

Therefore, under pressure from the front line, the emperor chose to keep his troops in place and prepare to take things step by step.

During this period, Kuxue was also not idle.

She also had things she needed to do.

Develop mechanical equipment.

……

The agricultural tools used by the people of Guiliji today are still relatively primitive. They use tools called "leisi" to till the land and sow crops.

This relatively simple device has improved the efficiency of farming to a certain extent. However, more preparations are needed to prepare for the upcoming spring planting season.

What the girl planned to make was a farm tool called a plow. This farm tool pulled by an ox could fully dig and cultivate farmland, allowing crops with more complex root systems such as the black jade seedlings to have enough space to grow.

The crops grown at that time will also be able to ensure that more people can be fed.

However, the production process was not as easy as imagined, and Kuxue had only seen simple design drawings in the past, not the real thing.

As the memory was long gone, the work of reproducing it naturally slowed down. However, after all, I had learned the ingenuity of mechanical devices from Master Liuyun Jiefeng, so I was able to handle this small problem.

After two days of tinkering, the first plow was born.

This plow is made of a Y-shaped piece of wood, with the lower branch carved into a pointed head and the two upper branches made into two handles.

When the plow was tied to a rope and pulled by an ox, the pointed end dug a narrow, shallow furrow in the soil.

The farmer can then use the handle to steer the plow.

The first experiment was quickly a great success, but Kuxue was not satisfied with it.

In her opinion, this type of plow still has the "disadvantages" of being time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to turn.

After that, he improved his plow by making the pointed end into a sharp "plowshare" that could more effectively break up the soil, and adding a tilted "base plate" that could push the soil to the side.

Based on the farming conditions, for example, Guiliyuan has both paddy fields and dry fields, and the soil specific resistance is very different, it is also very important to use agricultural tools that are suitable for local conditions.

However, with the basic template available, it was not difficult to make slight improvements to it, and soon paddy field plows and moldboard plows were developed.

Based on the current progress, Kuxue also believes that the curved plow, a more sophisticated and complex device, can be released before the end of the year.

At that time, research in this area can be suspended for a while. After all, even if more new tools are developed, it will take farmers some time to learn and adapt, and Guiliyuan does not have so many oxen.

So, while pushing the curved plow forward, Kuxue was also busy with another thing.

Because the original hunting grounds were attacked by other demon subordinates, most of the prey hid deeper, and the difficulty of hunting also increased a lot.

Before agriculture is developed, hunting must never be given up.

Hunting is a time-consuming process that involves tracking down the prey and then confirming its specific activity area.

When one actually sees the prey, the fight is nothing more than drawing the bow and shooting an arrow, hitting the prey's vital points and knocking it to the ground.

As for taking risks to chase injured prey, hunters usually only dare to do so in slightly peaceful years. Now they are already deep in the forest, and they would be wasting their lives to rashly chase prey.

But fortunately, Kuxue has an idea to solve this problem.

In fact, this method was also related to her previous life. She remembered that in the past she had used the element of wind to direct her voice to the medium, thus achieving the effect of long-distance communication.

And the immortals who are more proficient in this naturally have more complete versions.

You should know that there are various elements between heaven and earth, and there are also particles in the air that are invisible to the naked eye. These particles are not static, but are constantly moving and carrying information.

What if we could build an antenna device that could focus these particles and analyze them?

Kuxue soon had an idea about this. The prototype looked like an antenna tower with densely packed mechanical strings wound inside the disk. By amplifying the "waves" of a certain element, it could receive the "particles" that resonated from it.

The task of analysis fell to A Yuan. As pot spirits, they were born with a talent for manipulating the particles of matter that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, relying on A Yuan alone is definitely not enough, so it is necessary to create multiple small pot spirits with simple intelligence, which look like a round mechanical ball.

But the internal devices are sophisticated and will change the way they act depending on the instructions they receive.

Most of the time, these little guys would go up along the celestial string, collect particles, and after internal analysis, hand them over to Yuan to filter out invalid information and process them accurately.

However, considering the delicate mechanism, if it is inserted directly in the wild, it is obvious that it will be destroyed by curious beasts or used as a nest by birds and insects.

That would cause big problems in the operation of the mechanism, and the waves emitted when collecting particles can be felt by the demons. They are conceptual creatures with pure structure.

This feeling of being thoroughly investigated inside and out and having no privacy will naturally make them feel very insecure and attract a lot of hatred.

In other words, the placement location needs to be determined in a place that can cover the hunting area while avoiding the melee area.

In the end, this mechanism called the Beast-Hunting Tower was placed on the top of Tianheng Mountain and guarded by magic. The intelligence analyzed during its operation would be reported to Kuxue by A Yuan on a regular basis.

In this way, the problem of searching for traces of animals was solved.

However, when he learned about this thing, Master Liuyun Jiefeng, who had hurried over to discuss it with his disciple, was stunned.

"You said that you built this wonderful mechanism just to help humans solve the problem of not being able to find prey?"

"Oh, is it not possible?"

"Stupid disciple! The influence brought by the appearance of this kind of creature is enough to determine the outcome of a local war!"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng no longer knew what to say about his disciple who was extremely talented but was totally unemployed in the right way.

"In any case, this item will be sealed for the time being. We will hand it over to Emperor Jun and Gui Zhong for discussion—"

Chapter 21 You did a good job, it's time to take a break

"This is such a wonderful treasure."

Gui finally walked around the Beast Hunting Tower, occasionally touching it with the wooden tweezers she made herself, and sparks would flash in response to the touched places.

It was like some kind of high-precision analytical instrument. Especially as Gui Zhong's understanding of the structure and function of the girl's beast-hunting tower gradually deepened, his look became more and more delighted.

"With the beyond visual range search range of this beast-hunting tower, I only need to add an automatic homing mechanism, and my fox mechanism will be able to hit the target every time, making the offender flee with their tails between their legs!"

Originally, in order for the Guizhong Machine to unleash its true power, it was inevitable to fill the elements of heaven and earth, and then have the immortals personally guide it, so that it could unleash its full power.

But this step is cumbersome, and there are not that many immortals in Liyue, not to mention that it might be a waste of talent.

(I'm afraid that letting the Yakshas stand there as power banks is more painful than killing them.)

Therefore, when the number of returning machines is obviously greater than that of immortals, it is natural that people will need to control some of them.

After all, the Guizhong Machine can be used to resist attacks from ferocious wild beasts, but accuracy has always been a problem.

The machine is very large and cannot be operated by one person alone. It is usually operated by three people. One person is responsible for controlling the direction of the crossbow, one person is responsible for loading the arrows, and one person is responsible for finding the opportunity to fire.

However, the monsters are not stupid and ignorant, and they are not even able to sense danger. Rather, in this age of vitality and competition, the stupid ones have been eliminated, and only the smart and cunning ones are left.

Hitting fixed targets and moving targets are two completely different experiences, not to mention the large size of the target, which makes it difficult to hit accurately.

Therefore, except for barrage attacks, in normal use, most machines only have one chance to attack. If there is a mistake, it will be too late to wait until the filling is completed and the direction is pushed.

This would not only waste a lot of resources, but would also create gaps in the firepower network. Once this front line was torn apart and people rushed into Guiliji, they would not be able to survive even a second at the hands of those demons or ferocious beasts.
