Orion was in a daze, holding the "Elysian Immortal Lord's Edict".
"Eh? Why does the part with this name feel thicker?" Orion scratched it with his finger, and the words "Elysian Demon Lord's Edict" peeled off.
Beneath it were the large characters "Scripture of Slaanesh, the Heavenly Demon".
Orion patted the book's cover with the back of his hand: "What do you call this?"
Sanzomon's expression didn't change: "A Daoist classic."
"Which Dao?! The Void Tunnel?!"
Orion rolled up his sleeves, ready to argue with Sanzomon, when Fischl suddenly rushed up and hugged him: "Wait, wait! My Knight, the Imperial Preceptor is thinking of improving this Princess's strength!"
"Your... Highness, these two cannot be learned together; if you mix them up, you're likely to explode and die!" Orion had no choice but to make up a lie to scare her.
Fischl was indeed startled by his words. She turned to look at Sanzomon: "Imperial Preceptor, is that truly so?"
Sanzomon thought for a moment: "Does being too charming, leading to picking up too many dropped items and exploding, count".

Ultimately, the book of Slaanesh's Chosen was confiscated by Orion. He also checked all the other scriptures kept by Sanzomon, and there were no more forbidden books of that kind.
The rest were all specialized books like "Dual Cultivation Method," "Dual Cultivation Art," "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra," "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique," "Daoist Bedroom Arts," and so on. Orion looked at them but didn't understand; he only recognized the illustrations.
They were very well drawn.
Sanzomon stated that Fischl was a true genius because Fischl learned these cultivation methods incredibly fast. Fischl could even infer other things from sentences that Orion couldn't even read smoothly.
In short, after confirming that Fischl was also fine, Orion briefly agreed to be the 'casting material' for Fischl's dual cultivation techniques in the future, then returned to the Miliastra Wonderland himself.
This time, all the girls had woken up. Noelle brewed a cup of tea for everyone, and all the girls were sitting around a round table in the courtyard, drinking tea.
Orion walked over and ruffled Lumine's hair: "Not preparing for the Rite of Descension today?"
Lumine didn't swat his hand away. She just squinted comfortably, sipping her tea: "Heh, didn't you set the time flow difference to thirty times? So I'll just rest a bit longer~"
Orion walked between Yunli and Mona and sat down. Noelle brewed him a cup of tea.
Orion thanked Noelle, who was still a bit shy and ran off without replying.
Orion turned to ask Yunli next to him: "Have you joined a sect recently?"
"What kind of sect is that? It's just a martial arts school called Guhua Clan," Yunli replied, eating pastries.
"Why did you suddenly decide to join this one?"
"Oh! That day, I encountered a group of Treasure Hoarders robbing passersby outside. There happened to be a man and a woman, a senior and junior disciple, fighting the Treasure Hoarders. I couldn't stand by and helped them. Then, the Guhua Clan disciples who came as reinforcements invited me back as a guest."
"You went from being a guest to a Great Worship?"
"It was hard to refuse their hospitality, but don't worry, I told them I have a family, and I don't plan on always going to that Guhua Clan."
It seems Yunli still prefers her blacksmithing career... However, mentioning Yunli suddenly reminded Orion of something.
Although the main story hadn't progressed at all during this time, or rather, the main story hadn't even started, other storylines had progressed quite a bit.
Coupled with Skirk helping him keep track of the days to challenge the Abyss, Orion had already accumulated a lot of Primogems. These recent "multiplayer melees" had brought a large batch of Primogems into his pocket.
These Primogems were settled in the form of "Hangout Events," with small amounts for each settlement, but they accumulated daily. Plus, with three brand-new Hangout Events opening yesterday, he suddenly became rich.
Enough for a ten-pull with plenty left over!
He was even only a little over a hundred Primogems short, and in a few days, he would have another ten-pull!
Orion tilted his head back, drank all the black tea, then stood up and stretched his body.
Mona rested her face on one hand and asked him: "What are you going to do?"
Orion rubbed his hands: "Nothing, it's just that after these past few days of madness, I realized I can summon again."
As soon as Orion said this, Lumine, Paimon, Yunli, and Clara all became noticeably excited, and even Skirk looked over.
Mona and Noelle, however, were a bit confused.
"What summoning? Can Orion summon things?"
"Not just things, but people too! Yunli and Clara were both summoned this way!" Paimon explained on Orion's behalf, hands on her hips.
Meanwhile, Orion had already walked a distance. He arrived in the middle of the plaza, raised his hands, preparing to summon, and everyone held their breath, watching him intently.
Especially Mona. After Paimon's rough explanation, she found it hard to understand how a person could summon another existence not belonging to Teyvat from the air; it was completely unexplainable within her knowledge.
And in the plaza, Orion began to hesitate.
"Who should I call this time? Is there anyone who can guarantee a high pull rate for me?"
After much deliberation, Orion suddenly thought of someone. Once this person's name was mentioned, he would generously package all the good stuff from the preview livestream and give it to you.
Thinking of it, he did it. Orion raised his hands high, and while consuming 1600 Primogems, he shouted: "F***ing Hypergryph, make a miracle!!!"
Light flashed in the sky, and ten golden rays suddenly fell!
"""Holy crap!!!"""
It wasn't just Orion; even Lumine and the others couldn't sit still now, staring dumbfounded at the ten golden rays in the sky.
No explanation was needed; almost anyone could tell that good things were appearing.
In the center of the field, Orion was completely excited!
The ten rays of light fell one after another. Orion quickly stretched out his hands to catch them, but each golden ray ignored his passive skill of "beautiful girls falling must be caught in his arms," and one by one, they directly entered his body.
Orion:???
No, what's going on?
Orion looked inside his body and found that something had appeared in his internal space.
Incandescent Alloy +50 Primogem
Crystalline Electronic Unit +50 Primogem
D32 Steel +50 Primogem
...Orion was stunned, then realized that it was indeed the ALL Immortal at work, giving him construction materials from Arknights, and returning 50 Primogems after each material.
This meant that after this ten-pull, he would get 500 Primogems back? One-third of a ten-pull, enough to do another ten-pull directly.
Just as he was preparing to receive the tenth material, the last golden ray suddenly intensified.
Then, a figure wearing a white tank top and work pants, holding a wrench, with a huge Anaconda Tail, suddenly descended and was Princess Carried into Orion's outstretched arms.
"I've passed all the tests, can I stay here now? My name is Zumama, you can just call me Anaconda."
A Damselette with medium-short hair just below her jaw appeared in Orion's arms.
The Damselette quickly regained her senses, her brown eyes looking at Orion who was holding her. A small smile suddenly bloomed on her face, which was practically screaming "STEM major."
"Oh my? Doctor, long time no see!"
I will always love Anaconda!
