Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Xie Yan subconsciously turned his head to look.

Tinari explained: "Although the Ministry of Education will provide material assistance, it requires the city to actively apply for it. Now it is in short supply. If Ke Lai is in good health, I plan to ask her to help get resources later."

"Come to think of it, I remember that the Church of the Lords was not as outrageous as it is now. Now it seems to be secretly busy with some secret mission." Falusan shook her twin ponytails. "The younger generation of the Zhilun School must be hiding something from me. Humph, do you think I can't see through the tricks of young people?"

Xie Yan immediately understood. Falushan had been trapped in the Red King's ruins for a whole hundred years and had long been out of touch with the Church. Even if she had good abilities, the sages did not trust her for the time being, and what she knew was not very useful in the project.

After saying that, the three of them set off together.

With Tinari, the living guide in the forest, leading the way, Xie Yan and Falushan don't have to worry about anything going wrong. They can even enjoy the surrounding scenery while traveling.

However, Falushan's mission is slightly different. She is here to check the mechanisms in the rainforest, not to follow the forest patrol. It's just that one area is currently in a dead zone, and she can only continue working after Tinari removes it.

But maybe because Tinari said something to Falushan, she didn't even ask Xie Yan why he wanted to follow him to the Dead Zone.

In fact, it is easy to guess. In Xumi, any outrageous behavior can be explained as long as it is related to the thesis.

Just thinking of what Xiao Kelai mentioned yesterday, "The wonderful superposition reaction between black nylon fabric and beautiful girl's legs", Falushan dared to pat Xiao Kelai's chest and say that Xie Yan was definitely not an honest man.

In fact, she originally wanted to recruit students as usual and persuade Xie Yan to transfer to another hospital, but she didn't dare to say a word today.

It's okay to have a little angelic personality like Doudou Kelai, but Xie Yan's hairstyle makes it clear that he is not someone to be trifled with. What if the jockey disrespects his ancestors and contradicts his commander?

But along the way, she found that Xie Yan was unexpectedly serious. At most, he asked Tinari about the strange creatures around him and didn't say a few words to her.

Is it because... I'm not wearing stockings? Or am I out of fashion?

This outfit of hers was indeed all the rage a hundred years ago, but not many people wear it nowadays. Sometimes, Falushan wonders whether she should give up her insistence on wearing bare legs and wear black or white stockings instead?

While she was feeling complicated, the three of them arrived near the dead zone.

In the rainforest environment, the dead zone is actually very easy to distinguish. All the land that has been turned into a dead zone becomes dry and withered as if it has lost its vitality, and the trees have withered branches and leaves. In the very center, the scarlet tumor keeps beating as if it has life, and its extended branches wrap up this area, emitting a trace of strange deep red energy in all directions.

Tinari pointed at the Death Domain Tumor and explained, "You should have heard some information about the Death Domain. We must remove the Death Domain as soon as possible because it takes a while for the Death Domain to absorb and transform the vitality of the land. If we can break it with grass seeds, we can restore vitality to the land, but this will also provoke the Death Domain to resist with all its strength, demonizing the surrounding mushroom beasts to fight back, and even generate some monsters through the power of the earth veins."

Xie Yan looked around the Death Zone carefully. With his special bloodline, he immediately sensed the same pollution as that of the World Tree.

Of course, the pollution level in the Dead Zone cannot be compared with that of the World Tree. According to Xie Yan's estimation, the pollution level here is about 20 points for him.

"Come to think of it, Xumi's earth veins are actually having problems. I just used the power of the earth veins a little bit before, and the pollution level increased. After it exceeded 10 points, the hair on my body seemed to be turning red."

If the pollution level reached above 30, Xie Yan had no doubt that red hair would grow on his body.

Before, he thought it was just the system's evil taste, but now after personally inspecting the dead zone, he realized something: once the pollution level goes up, he himself will be equivalent to a human-shaped dead zone.

So, can the method used by the outside world to eradicate the dead zone be used to clear the pollution of the world tree?

The grass seeds were right next to them. Xie Yan and Tinari were both excellent archers. After summoning the grass seeds, they destroyed the Death Domain Festival. After clearing out a group of monsters, they destroyed the Death Domain Tumor, returning the vitality devoured by it to the earth, instantly turning the withered land into lush green.

The process went smoothly, but Xie Yan had been observing carefully and discovered that the most important thing was the grass seeds. This thing looked ordinary, but in fact it contained a hint of divinity. Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat the Death Domain Festival with elemental power.

He thought thoughtfully that grass seeds were a bit like the "self-protection mechanism" of the World Tree, which was why they grew specifically around the Dead Zone.

With some ideas in mind, Xie Yan then said goodbye to Tinari and Falushan.

But he did not return to Huacheng City. Instead, he followed the notes of his distant relative and came to the place where the earth vein energy of Daochenglin gathered.

This place looks like the geocentric flower in the game. Huge amounts of energy leak out, forming a circle of golden halo, but if you look closely, you can find a hint of deep red hidden in the gold.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand to touch it, and with a thought, the earth vein flower trembled, and some invisible energy quickly spread in all directions. Although the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, Xie Yan clearly felt that this space had changed.

"This is..."

After all, as he possessed some power over dreams, Xie Yan soon discovered that the boundary between dreams and reality began to blur and some overlap occurred.

In this case, the laws of the real world also changed slightly. The [Inherent Barrier. Infinite Sword System] in Xie Yan's skill bar was fixed again, indicating that it can be used here.

Not only that, Xie Yan also felt that the Sharingan had also undergone a slight change, getting closer to the boundary of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Yes, dream power is the power of the mind. Sharingan and Infinite Sword Works are both powers of the mind. They will be amplified in this environment."

From this perspective, if a few more of the geomagnetic gathering places in the notes were activated, Xie Yan would have the opportunity to open the kaleidoscope.

“But there are side effects…” Xie Yan looked at the earth vein flower in front of him. Originally, it only had a hint of crimson, but now the crimson color representing pollution was constantly eroding the gold.

He immediately made a decisive move and adjusted it back, allowing the space to return to normal.

"I roughly understand the system's arrangement. The next step is to go to Xumi City and try to contact Nashida, and then go to Nilu to inquire about some news about my distant relative."

My dear wife Nilu, I am so sorry!

40 Nashida: Dad? 5K chapter

Returning from the location of the earth vein flower, it was much easier to travel because of the four-leaf seal on Xumi.

The effects of this Four-Leaf Seal are similar to those of the Thunder Seal, but the terrain of Xumi's rainforest is more complex, so the effect is greater.

Unfortunately, Xie Yan has studied it and found that although you can just press T in the game, in reality you need to inject some elemental power to connect. This thing can only be used by the holder of the Eye of God.

"If the Eye of God is the authority granted by Sky Island, then what about the Evil Eye? The Evil Eye is obviously made of the same material, so why does it have different properties?" He suddenly thought of this question.

Now that Xie Yan is on the path to becoming a god, there are some things he has to think more about.

Looking back now, he gained a certain amount of mental strength by sleeping with Xin Hai at that time. He should have absorbed the divine power from her, but Xie Yan did not gain the water elemental power.

If I absorb enough of Orobas' divine power, will anything change?

Continue to promote it, Feng, Yan, cough, forget it, Xie Yan is not yet perverted enough to attack Tewalin and Tuozi Ge.

Interrupting his own random thoughts and walking seriously for a while, Xie Yan quickly returned to Huacheng City and went to the location of the Seven Heavens Statue to light it up.

The girl Kelai worked very hard. She decorated the flowers and plants beside the gilded base of the statue and wiped the statue itself very clean.

However, when Xie Yan returned to his residence to pack up and prepare to say goodbye, he found that Ke Lai was not outside, but stayed in the room reading a book.

The wooden house, the sunshine, the girl, and the book, the picture looks very beautiful. It would be better if the book could be more normal.

"Humph, you have no eyes, I'll just have to wait for you to follow my orders!"

When reading the exciting parts, Cole shouted out the lines excitedly as usual, and did not notice Xie Yan's arrival.

It was not until Xie Yan could no longer hold back and coughed twice that the girl's movements suddenly stopped. Her fair cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and steam seemed to be coming out of her forehead.

It's over... I read out such a shameful line in front of others, and the other party still likes to tease me like a bad guy...

Actually, Cole just wanted to learn to read more books. She had even been reading children's picture books from various countries. But since she read Inazuma's light novels some time ago, she became obsessed with them. She has already finished reading classic works such as "Onimushi" and "Please Take Care of My Fox Fairy". The book "I'm a Son-in-Law" in her hand is a signed version given to her by Inazuma businessman a few days ago.

But how could anyone believe these words? Would he touch her legs again?

In front of Xie Yan, Ke Lai felt that it would not be strange if he was teased by him into bed one day.

Cole looked up tentatively at Xie Yan, but the expected "Miss Cole, you don't want to..." did not come. He seemed to look even more embarrassed than himself and even turned his head slightly.

Is it true that “As long as I’m not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed”?

While the girl was thinking, Xie Yan pretended to be calm and said, "Kelai, I know you want to learn to read more, but Inazuma's light novels... this may not be suitable."

After a while, if it is passed on again, Cole will probably read about the fox fairy palace official who killed Qingmei, the senior who fell from the sky, and the Tengu senior. With Cole's serious reading attitude, he might even learn some palace fighting from the novel.

"Huh? Why? I feel like I learned a lot about Inazuma from the light novel."

"for example?"

"The prototype of this novel is a warrior named Xie Yan. It was he who ended Inazuma's isolation order and eye hunting order. Well, I heard from passing merchants that although Xie Yan is extremely brave, he is also very fond of beauties. Inazuma's beauties all have close relationships with him. He has been partying every night in the Kanjo Bugyo Mansion. Now he has even gone to Liyue. I wonder how many more women will fall into his hands."

Hmm? You are really...really bad at judging people!

Xie Yan frowned, and was about to say something serious, judging it to be pure sarcasm.

Although he planned to go back and have a party with Ying and Shen Zi, it hasn't started yet, right? He was still partying every night. He didn't want to lead the little angel Cole astray. He wouldn't be able to see Lanaro anymore... Although he always felt that he would make Cole lose her girlish purity faster.

He said calmly, "Kelai, you misunderstood. As far as I know, Xie Yan is upright and not interested in women. This is all fake news."

Although he was fooled several times, Ke Lai still believed him and asked curiously, "Why do businessmen say that they have a party every night? I remember the meaning of this phrase is..."

She is no longer illiterate and can basically understand the meaning of words that are not too unfamiliar. But because of this, the girl can't help blushing when she speaks.

“Maybe Xie Yan just really likes singing and dancing with beautiful women at night, and he was just misunderstood.” Xie Yan felt very guilty after having said this.

"In this case, the first person Xie Yan will go to when he arrives in Xumi City is Miss Ni Lu. Ni Lu is the most artistic person in our Xumi City."

"No, I think he'll come to you first."

After Xie Yan finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. Ke Lai, you have to learn some serious knowledge."

"Ah, I learned about the Inazuma Magistrates and the ronin samurai from the book. Um, the ronin samurai like to shout out the names of their moves during a duel, and everyone has very powerful powers, such as the power of seals, the power of the king, and so on."

Xie Yan was quite speechless: "Who would shout out their moves during a duel? Besides, the lives of ronin warriors are quite hard. They are either from poor families or have violated the law and become bandits. If it is the latter, they usually make a living by robbing civilians and merchants, and their attacks are all sneak attacks."

Cole nodded thoughtfully. "Just like the Gilded Brigade? Some good and some bad?"

"Almost, but Inazuma doesn't have the custom of hiring ronin warriors." Xie Yan shook his head and said, "Kole, why are you reading here? I thought you would be busy outside."

"Master told me to rest and recuperate first, even though I feel like I have recovered."

"It's good that you've recovered. This way I can feel more at ease."

After he said that, Ke Lai realized that Xie Yan was holding a package in his hand and seemed to be leaving.

Although she knew that he would definitely return to Xumi City, when the time of separation came, the girl actually felt a little reluctant.

After returning to Xumi, although she seemed strong, she actually didn't dare to talk to others about many things. She could only vent her emotions through the tree hole...but the tree hole was not a real listener after all, and would not give her comfort.

She didn't know how Xie Yan saw through her thoughts, but his actions, which could be described as a "mudslide", made Ke Lai remember him deeply.

Perhaps it was because she also knew Xie Yan's secret, in front of Xie Yan, Ke Lai could hide nothing about himself.

"Why are you still reluctant?" Xie Yan rubbed her hair again, "Silly girl, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. Besides, I remember Tinari said that if you are okay and you still need to go to Xumi City to bring back some supplies, why don't we set off together?"

Ke Lai was stunned for a moment. She hadn't thought of this. Then she nodded quickly: "Yes, let's go together."

As for what Tinari said about "waiting for him to come back", Cole subconsciously ignored it.

I am doing this to bring back daily necessities to Huachengguo as soon as possible. Master, you can understand, right?

The girl found a reason in her mind, but for convenience, she still left a note to explain the situation.

.....

After a long time.

The carriage was moving steadily on the trade road. Compared with the towering trees that had transformed the city into a city wall before, the scenery was much richer. Many villages could be seen along the way. It was considered to be entering the edge of the city. Fleets with flags of various countries could be seen on the lake next to it.

Although the Port of Ormos is the trading center of Xumi, Xumi is connected by waterways from north to south, and many merchant ships also visit the port in the city.

Xie Yan had just come from the bustling Liyue Harbor, so he didn't pay much attention to these merchant ships. However, he saw that there were actually quite a few Gilded Brigades camping along the trade route. He couldn't help but look at Ke Lai beside him curiously: "Are these Gilded Brigades so arrogant? Ke Lai, will it be dangerous for you to return to the city later?"

"Ah, no, the Gilded Brigade is stationed in such a conspicuous place, usually to make it easier to accept commissions from caravans. After all, the nature of looting on the trade route is too bad, and the Thirty-Man Group will also send people to clean it up."

"But there are still some hidden actions that are inevitable, right?"

"That's right, but because the void can quickly transmit information, the Gilded Brigade has to be more cautious unless they are in the desert."

What Cole said seemed to be commonplace, but Xie Yan secretly shook his head as he listened. Judging from this, the public security in Xumi seemed to be similar to that in Inazuma. It would be no problem to take care of people within the city, but it would depend on fate outside the city.

And this is just a public security issue. If a war breaks out or they encounter powerful monsters, will the Thirty-Man Group abide by the mercenary contract and rush to the front to protect the residents of Xumi?

However, in Inazuma, the shogunate army still dared to fight and would not hesitate if they really encountered monsters. After all, they were defending their country and people.

Xie Yan shook his head. He could still learn a lot in Liyue. He could go back and optimize Inazuma's body. Xumi was really boring.

Sitting in the carriage with Cole, about half an hour later, the two arrived at the gate of Xumi City.

Exchanges and immigration among the seven countries of Teyvat are very common, so at a glance, the appearance of the residents of Xumi is not as different as Xie Yan imagined. In fact, they are similar to Liyue and Inazuma, with only slight differences in skin color and hair.

As for the inspection at the city gate, due to the existence of the void in Xumi, the process has been greatly simplified. Only some merchants without the void need to be inspected.

But today, the policy seems to have changed again. All travelers who come to Xumi City can get the Void for free. Many businessmen and tourists heard the news and came, queuing in long queues at the city gate.

"They actually distributed the Void. I remember that you had to work in Xumi City for more than three years to be eligible to receive it."

"In fact, it has changed since last year. You only need to have a formal job in Xumi City to receive it."

"It's strange. Didn't those scholars say that the Void was the legacy of the Great Compassionate Tree King and that knowledge couldn't be easily shared with outsiders? Why are they so generous now?"

"Who cares? It's free and you shouldn't miss it!"

"Yes, after doing business in Xumi for so long, I can finally make some money from the Jiaolingyuan. I'm making a lot of money!"

Most people didn't care and waited happily for the guards to distribute the Void. In their eyes, the Void that could provide the correct answers at any time was the greatest treasure of the City of Wisdom.

As for some questions that have no answers? That's just because I don't need to know! How can the void's judgment be wrong?

Xie Yan didn't comment on this. The guards were standing at the door distributing void terminals, which made things very convenient for him. He picked one up when he passed by.

Putting it to his ear like a Bluetooth headset, Xie Yan pressed the power button. At this moment, he felt that his consciousness seemed to merge into the ocean. As long as he concentrated his mind to think and ask questions, he would get answers from the void.

Of course, since Xie Yan did not use his power, he can only look up information as an ordinary scholar.
