Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"There are many monsters under the Layered Abyss, and some of the humanoid monsters have intelligence. This weapon is your reward, you can use it first."

"Then what specific intelligence do we need to explore? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Five hundred years ago, there was a great battle in the Layered Chasm. One of my two ancestors died in it, and the other went mad and spoke nonsense. This is quite strange.

I have explored the bottom of the abyss and found no clues. I heard that you have the ability to break through the situation, so I hope you can investigate what happened back then."

"Well, I'll take this commission."

"Looking forward to your good news." Ye Lan turned around and prepared to leave.

"It seems like he's injured again? It seems..." someone said, holding his chin.

"Swish!" The blue figure paused, then left an afterimage and disappeared in an instant.

"What a strange man! I have the weapon and the news about your brother. Let's sell this red ginseng.

Big bad guy, do you know who that woman is? She seems to be very afraid of you." Paimon looked at someone.

"Ye Lan, the intelligence officer of the General Affairs Department. She is the one who will record you in the little notebook. Generally speaking, she is responsible for handling matters that Liyue cannot handle openly.

Your original plan for a good vacation has been ruined. Ying should leave soon, right? "

"Well, I'll go get some supplies and then leave."

"Okay then, this is for you." Lin Zixuan took out a new wooden seal and handed it to Ying.

"This is?"

"It has two functions. One is the pass from above. The other is that many places under the Layered Rock Abyss are sealed by me, and only those with my seal can open them."

"Well, thank you."

After completing the transaction with Bubulu, Ying and Paimeng left quickly.

Lin Zixuan's head was dizzy for a moment, and more memories were unlocked. Black mud, star train, star core, star god...

By the way, the clone sent back the news that the coordinates of the Herrs next door have been determined. Want to go there sometime? Forget it, there are still a lot of things to be solved here, I'll find a chance to meet those people later.

In the vast universe, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where is my former home?

Chapter 303 False Collapse

“Is this the Layered Abyss?”

Paimon looked at the solid city wall and gate in front of him in surprise. The huge city wall extended to the top of the mountain, as if it was guarding against a huge rock abyss.

Not far from the city wall gate, a large town has been built along a wide cement road, with people coming and going, very lively. Large cranes are loading and unloading goods from trains.

There are two huge open spaces near the city wall. The ground is full of stones. Many people are picking and choosing on the ground there, and no one knows what they are looking for.

As soon as Ying and Paimeng stepped into the town, several solicitors came up to them and asked if they wanted to buy jewelry. This is a century-old shop that makes jewelry from scratch.

After politely rejecting them, the two of them came to the two open spaces.

Paimon looked at the pool on the left. "Lucky Pool No. 1, 2000 Mora (crossed out), 20 Glass Yuan per block." Then he looked at the pool on the right. Lucky Pool No. 2, 4000 Mora (crossed out), 40 Glass Yuan per block."

[It is forbidden to use elemental power and magic to conduct exploration. Violators will be expelled from Layer Rock Town forever.]

"Ying, this seems like gambling on stones."

"Is this your first time here?" A burly middle-aged man next to them looked at the two of them.

"Yes, you are?"

"My name is Yuehui, and I'm a miner leader in a mining team under the General Affairs Department. There's a trade fair and a crystal car race going on in Liyue Harbor these days, and my brothers are all on holiday to go to Liyue Harbor to play. I'm free so I came out to try my luck."

"You are the leader of the miners in the Stratum Abyss. Do you know what is going on inside?"

"What's the situation inside? Why are you asking this?" The middle-aged man became alert.

Ying took out Lin Zixuan’s seal and the photo given by Ye Lan.

"This seal is actually of a higher grade than the one I have. Okay, let me take a look. I have never seen the man in this photo. But this passage seems to lead to the depths. Do you have paper and pen? I can draw it for you."

"Yes!" Ying quickly took out paper and pen from the Chen Ge pot.

Paimon asked as he drew the map.

"Uncle Yuehui, can you really make money by gambling on stones here?"

"It all depends on your eyesight and luck. Good materials don't necessarily produce good gemstones. The materials here can basically only be used to make ring faces, earrings, or pendants.

Large materials such as bracelets and ornaments are only released every three months, and of course the prices are not fixed.

A scholar from Xumi has calculated that on average, for every 10 pieces of raw stone, you can get back a small amount of your investment. The probability of winning the grand prize is 0.6%, and the probability of winning the super grand prize is 0.01%.

The people nearby are helping tourists to judge the stones. They usually don't throw away the stones they cut themselves, taking advantage of people's greed.

Although it seems that a piece of rough stone only costs 20 glass yuan, it is not very expensive, even if you buy 10 pieces, it will only cost 200 glass yuan. However, it costs money to experience the on-site cutting, and it also costs money to make and polish it into exquisite jewelry.

After going through this process, the jewelry will cost tourists more than 1000 glass yuan. And people are willing to spend the money, because they choose the rough stone, cut it themselves, and decide the style of production.

All together, each piece of jewelry is unique. This gift represents a person’s heart and is very popular among young people.”

"Wow, why does it feel like I'm ripping people off?"

"Those who really ripped people off have been thrown into jail. Liyue has paid great attention to the reputation of this industry over the years. With a good reputation, tourists will come in droves. If the reputation is bad, who would dare to come all the way here?

Tourists pay voluntarily, but the fees vary depending on the ability of the carving masters.

It's done. If you go down to the Layered Abyss, you must pay attention to safety. Behind the seal set by Master Xuan, some strange things happened. I have seen several adventurers go in vertically and were carried out horizontally. "Uncle Yuehui handed the simple route map to Ying.

"Eh? Is it that scary?"

"In fact, there is something even scarier, and that is the Hilliards."

"??? What's so scary about the Hillichul people?"

"The Hilichurls of Liyue were driven to live in the Tianqiu Valley area, but every full-moon night, some of them would walk out of their gathering place and head to the depths of the Layered Abyss like zombies, and Master Xuan's seal had no intention of stopping them.

Most importantly: they are all in and never out!!!"

"Ah!" Paimon shuddered, quickly flew behind Ying and hugged her.

"Hahaha...After you go in, remember to ask sister 'Jinwu' to get a lumen stone catalyst. This thing is indispensable if you want to go deep underground."

"Uh-huh."

The two said goodbye to Uncle Yuehui, used Lin Zixuan's seal to enter the Layered Rock Abyss, and began their journey to solve the mystery.

In the pavilion by the lake below Bubu Pavilion in Liyue Harbor.

Lin Zixuan let out a long breath and finally sorted out the memories that had appeared. The collapse that he had once worried about had become a joke.

There is a sentence in Honkai Impact 3rd that is widely circulated. (Mihoyo completely denied Honkai Impact rd in the final version of Honkai Impact rd.)

[A naturally formed mechanism, a mechanism derived from imaginary numbers, a mechanism of nurturing and nourishing, a mechanism of baptism and elimination.]

To define the unknown that is not understood with human insights is very similar to the sages of Sumeru.

The disaster called "collapse" was actually the thing called "cocoon of the end" that caused chaos in the screening mechanism of civilization.

A special high-dimensional race created the "Cocoon of the End" and let it wander around the forest, and then transformed the civilization it encountered.

It is a mechanism that controls fate, reincarnating human civilization over and over again. The purpose... is just to allow its creator to have "the same kind".

The birth of the Herrscher is just a tool used by the "Cocoon of the End" to reset civilization. When humans fail to produce their own kind, they will carry out the reset.

He gently rubbed his eyebrows.

After analyzing and organizing the information I have known so far, I feel that I am also blinded by one thing and a frog in a well. The continent of Teyvat should also have similar problems, and the real information hidden beneath the surface has not yet been revealed.

But... instead of worrying about gains and losses, let there be only darkness in your eyes.

It would be better to...

【Turning this imperfect story into what we expect. 】

The ability of one person is limited, but if we can gather the strength of an entire continent, then even if the future is bumpy, as long as people unite, we can move forward.

"Humans! How greedy they are!"

Lin Zixuan said self-deprecatingly. His original intention was to go home, to make the people of Liyue live a better life, to make Liyue a country that others envy, to unite everything...

The experiences of these years flashed through my mind.

"Unconsciously, I have gained so many original intentions and wishes, as well as concerns and ties. Even if I have great power... am I really still just a mortal?"

For now, let's establish Liyue's leading position. Next year, countless people will become poor people with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and the occurrence of vicious incidents is inevitable. This sin can only be borne by oneself. I wonder if future generations will write in history books that "the sin is in this era, and the merit is in the future generations"?

The launch of computers represents the rise of the Internet. A large number of businesses will flock to this emerging industry.

If someone exploits some loopholes and spreads rumors without restriction, it will become the largest gathering place for negative emotions on the continent of Teyvat.

Would it be better if we had implemented stricter supervision from the beginning? After all, this network system was built by Liyue. I will discuss with Ningguang and the others how to operate it later.

Two days later.

"How long will it take us to get there?" Paimon complained.

"We're almost there. This is the main mining area of ​​Juyuan. Going further ahead is where Master Xuan set up the seal." Jin Wu explained.

"Come to think of it, along the way, there are carts of ore and rough stones piled up on the roadside. Why don't you transport them up there and sell them?"

"Those are Liyue's reserve minerals. Although they have been mined, they can only be left there now."

"Uh?"

"Unlimited mining and unlimited sales will only cause the price of ore to plummet. Only by rationally planning the shipment volume of these ores can the prices of various alloys on the market be maintained at a stable level.

The days of vicious and indiscriminate mining and cheap shipments are over. You also see the rough stones all over the ground in the town above, right? If these huge amounts of rough stones are transported out.

Liyue's jewelry market will inevitably suffer a huge impact, which will only lead to businesses undercutting each other's prices, and then the jewelry will become worthless.

Even if Liyue can raise the price again, people already have the impression that the price of this item will drop quickly, which will eventually lead to many people not considering buying it. "

"So they're reducing shipments to raise prices. That's really like what Master Xuan does."

"The reserve mine has more uses than just this. Here we are!"

The mine was covered with strange plants. A huge light screen appeared in the eyes of Ying and Paimeng, with the word "Seal" faintly visible on it.

"Next, you will step into another world. The most bizarre and terrifying place in Liyue. In the past ten years, a total of 149 adventurers have disappeared in the Stratum Abyss, and the bodies of 87 of them have been found.

The original plan was to not let anyone in at the beginning, but later for some reason the control was relaxed and as long as one had the documents from the General Affairs Department, one could venture into those terrifying depths.

With the help of Master Xuan's seal, some people came back alive. Some people were trapped inside forever, as the seal was under a cliff and there was no way to rescue them. It was unknown whether these people had any regrets before they died.

The time limit is one week. If you haven’t come out after one week, we will arrange for someone to go in and look for you.”

"Well, don't worry! We are very powerful!" Paimon replied, patting his chest, and Ying also nodded.

Jin Wu watched the two pass the seal. She couldn't help but think of the 149 people. Everyone said the same thing to her. This was also the path they chose.

There is more than one way to the bottom of the Chasm. If they take the regular route, at least Liyue can help them collect the bodies.

They have seals with the highest authority, so they should be taken care of by Master Xuan, right?

Chapter 304: Accident? Inevitably!

"What are these purple mud-like objects?" Paimon stuck to Ying's body.

"I don't know. It gives me a bad feeling." Ying held the Lumen Stone Catalyst in his left hand for lighting and a one-handed sword in his right hand, searching for a way out.

"No wonder Jinwu said so many people are missing. The power of those monsters has also become extraordinary."

"Let's continue searching! There's a sign saying 'Rugged Stone Hall' at the entrance to the passage. We've been wandering around for hours and haven't found any new roads. But this map says there's a road we can continue on. Could it be that a landslide has blocked the passage?"

The two walked around the edge again, but still couldn't find a way to move forward.

"Ying, there seems to be a crane and a bright light in the middle. Let's go over there and take a look."

A bottomless hole appeared before their eyes, which was creepy.

Paimeng picked up a small stone and threw it down. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound of it hitting the ground. She was so scared that she didn't dare to look at the hole again.

Ying also came to the side of the crane. The rope tied to the crane support had broken and was hanging alone in the air.

It should have been tied by an adventurer, and no one knows when it broke. The adventurer may have become a missing person or a victim.

"Paimon, let's go."

"Eh?"
