Chapter 31: Is Abundance Path weak? Barbara charges head-on!
On the System panel.
A virtual Astral Express quickly streaked across, speeding from the distance towards the front.
Seeing this scene, Luo Feng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
This scene was clearly identical to the gacha interface of Star Rail.
Luo Feng was already starting to worry if he could pull off a miracle with a single draw.
"It's okay if I don't get Welt. Even a four-star template like Dan Heng, which strengthens attack traits, would be fine."
Luo Feng silently prayed.
However, reality ultimately did not fulfill Luo Feng's wish.
On the System panel, after the virtual Astral Express's door opened.What appeared was not Welt, nor was it Dan Heng.
Instead, it was a character Luo Feng had seen after transmigrating to the Star Rail world.
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the "Natasha Template". This template comes with the light cone "Post-Op conversation ".]
'First the Trailblazer of Preservation, and then Natasha of Abundance.'
'Is this System trying to make me a support in the backline?'
Luo Feng complained in his heart.
Of course, it was just a complaint.
Although Natasha is a doctor, she is also an expert in using grenade launchers.
Her template still possesses a certain level of combat power.
And the Trailblazer of Preservation's combat ability is even greater than Natasha's.
If he were to truly fight, Luo Feng felt his power was enough to annihilate Doomsday Beast level existences.
"The light cone 'Post-Op Conversation', a light cone suitable for Pathstrider of Abundance to equip."
"Based on the effect of this light cone, it should also be in a fully leveled and superimposed state."
"Although there is some gap compared to the five-star light cone Klee has, it is still good."
"It's just a pity that although this light cone is strong, it has no effect on me right now."
Luo Feng looked at the new light cone in his hand and sighed.
He could now control more Imaginary Energy than before, and the help provided by the light cone was completely negligible to him.
"If this is given to Natasha to use, perhaps she can properly utilize its value."
"After all, 'Post-Op Conversation' can be considered her exclusive light cone."
"Speaking of which, I wonder if drawing Natasha's template has anything to do with Yaoshi glancing at me."
"If it really does, will I keep drawing Abundance character templates in future draws?"
"If that's the case, then it will be troublesome."
After complaining a bit, Luo Feng shook his head and looked in the direction of Barbara, Jean, and the others.
"Come to think of it, even Natasha has a certain amount of attack power."
"In the original work, she could even set up a grenade launcher on Svarog's head."
"Barbara, who has gained the power of Abundance, can't possibly have no combat power at all."
"Furthermore, Blaze Out of Space and Incineration Shadewalker are both fire attribute, while Barbara can use the power of Abundance to strengthen the Hydro element."
"Should I perhaps give Barbara a little reminder and tell her to just charge forward?"
As Luo Feng was contemplating, a familiar figure entered his line of sight.
"It's Natasha, she's probably looking for Hook."
"I just drew Natasha's template, and Natasha came over."
"We are too fated."
Luo Feng rubbed his chin, after seeing Jean, Lumine, Hook, and Klee defeat an Blaze Out of Space with Barbara's help.
He then calmly walked out from his hiding place and stepped towards Natasha.
At the same time.Teyvat Forum.
[Noelle: We finally dealt with an Blaze Out of Space, that's great.]
[Amber: Yes, even though I know Barbara can heal everyone quickly, I still worry whenever I see Jean and Traveler injured.]
[Kaeya: Don't underestimate Traveler and Acting Grand Master Jean. As long as the wounds can be healed, they're not a big deal to them.]
[Diluc: Compared to Traveler and the others who are responsible for fighting, I'm more concerned about how long Barbara's healing power can last.]
[Venti: Don't be too strict. So far, Barbara has shown enough power. Even if she runs out of strength now, she has performed well enough and sufficiently proven the benefits of stepping onto the Path of Abundance.]
[Scaramouche: It's a pity that even though Barbara has stepped onto a Path, she herself is still very weak. Without companions, she can't accomplish anything.]
[La Signora: As expected, compared to the Path of Abundance which has no power to annihilate enemies, the Destruction Path is more desirable.]
[Baizhu: How could you possibly know how precious this healing power is? That's right, people who only pursue destructive power wouldn't understand this at all.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Mr. Baizhu is right. The power to protect everyone is also very important. Even if this power cannot be used for attack at all.]
[Scaramouche: Hmph, what do ordinary mortals understand! Only sufficiently powerful strength is the most important.]
[La Signora: Just this once, I agree with what you said, Scaramouche.]
[Baizhu: It seems there's nothing good to discuss with you.]
[Luo Feng: Different Paths have different effects, and different people have different pursuits. Therefore, it's normal for people to like different Paths, so there's no need for you to argue about it.]
[Luo Feng: Furthermore, those who step onto the Path of Abundance cannot possess powerful destructive force? Who decided that?]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Lord Luo Feng, are you saying that Barbara actually possesses powerful destructive force?]
[Luo Feng: At least, her power is more than enough to deal with fire-attribute Blaze Out of Space and Incineration Shadewalker.]
...
"Barbara can use her own power to deal with those monsters?"
Paimon was immediately surprised when she saw Luo Feng's message on the forum.
Because she couldn't help with the fighting, Paimon wanted to find a way through the forum.
She didn't expect to see Luo Feng's message as soon as she opened the forum.
"Paimon, are you saying I can deal with those monsters?"
Barbara heard Paimon's voice and looked over doubtfully.
"Yes, Luo Feng said so on the forum.
"Paimon nodded heavily.
"My power..."
Barbara looked at the forum, then looked at her own hands.
Immediately, her eyes became firm, and she stepped forward, running towards the Fragmentum Monsters.
Her speed was very fast. Before Paimon could react, Barbara had already reached the forefront of the battle.
"Barbara, why are you here? Step back quickly."
Jean said anxiously.
"Sister, I want to try."
After Barbara finished speaking, she stretched her hands forward, aiming towards the Blaze Out of Space.
The next moment, blue-green light condensed in Barbara's hands.It transformed into a water sphere roughly the same size as the Blaze Out of Space, emitting a verdant light.
Barbara quickly threw out the water sphere in her hand.
The Blaze Out of Space, which couldn't make any unnecessary movements in time, was hit by the Hydro element condensed with a large amount of Bounty Power.
The meeting of water and fire immediately caused a violent reaction.
With a loud bang.
The body of the Blaze Out of Space immediately exploded.
The powerful impact even blasted a crater several meters in diameter into the ground.
Seeing this scene, Jean, Lumine, and the others were somewhat stunned.
The Blaze Out of Space they had been fighting for so long was actually taken down so easily by Barbara.
What was the point of them trying so hard before?
Jean, Lumine, and the others looked at Barbara, momentarily speechless.
"Wh-What are you looking at me like that for?"
Barbara shrank her neck and said."
You clearly have this kind of power, why didn't you use it earlier?"
"You actually made the dark Lord Hook fight so hard."
Hook put her hands on her hips and said with a pout.
"I-I'm sorry."
Barbara said sheepishly.
At the same time, the people in the live stream were silent after seeing the sudden situation before them.
They also fell into a moment of silence.
Finally, Rosaria, who worked with Barbara at the church, broke the silence.
[Rosaria: It seems Barbara hasn't become a powerless medical personnel. Being able to defeat the Blaze Out of Space with one blow, this power... at least I can't compare.]
[Diluc: Although the Blaze Out of Space had been worn down by Jean and the others, it's certain that Barbara possesses powerful destructive force.]
[Kaeya: Even if the destructive power is far less excellent than her healing power, it's enough. Our Mondstadt has truly found a treasure.]
[Baizhu: Mondstadt is really lucky. I just wonder if those who have no power, those who look down on Abundance, still have anything to say now.]
[Scaramouche:...]
[La Signora:...]
[Tartaglia: Good thing I didn't say too much. I knew that no Path is simple. If you think about it, someone with powerful healing abilities can completely transform into a berserker and fight enemies desperately. Such a person couldn't possibly be weak, no matter how you look at it.][Scaramouche: Shut up, Childe.]
[Zhongli: By common sense, Childe is making a lot of sense this time.]
[Yae Miko: It's hard not to agree.]
[Venti: Compared to this, I'm more curious if Barbara can use the power of Abundance to heal the skylyre.]
[Mona: I almost forgot about this! However, everything Luo Feng said about Bounty Power before has come true. So, Barbara using Bounty Power to repair the skylyre or something like that should also be possible, right?]
[Tighnari: If she can really do that, does it mean that Bounty Power can also heal the Withering?]
Chapter 32: Abundant Supplies Scare Natasha, So Luo Feng Wasn't Lying After All?!
On the other side.
"It's you?"
Natasha looked at Luo Feng who appeared before her, a surprised expression on her face.
"We meet again, Natasha."
Luo Feng smiled and waved at Natasha.
"Luo Feng, what are you doing here?"
"It's not safe here."
"Rivet Town is full of Fragmentums."
"You just fainted near the Fragmentum before."
"For your safety, it's better to leave here quickly."
Natasha said solemnly.
"Thanks for the reminder, but I don't think I'll faint near the Fragmentum again."
Luo Feng's face showed a confident smile.
"You're really confident. Whatever, just follow me for now."
"We'll leave here together in a bit."
Natasha said.
Luo Feng could now completely control his Imaginary Energy.
He wouldn't accidentally leak his energy.
This made Luo Feng still seem like an ordinary person in Natasha's eyes.
"You're really gentle, Natasha."
"Speaking of which, besides wanting me to leave, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Luo Feng asked.
Natasha: "Are you referring to supplies?"
Luo Feng: "Looks like you haven't forgotten."
Natasha: "Luo Feng, I have serious things to do right now, so please stop joking."
The supplies Luo Feng mentioned, enough for the Lower District for several months.
Natasha didn't believe it from the start.
She preferred to think of it as Luo Feng's fantasy.
Now, she just wanted to quickly find Hook, who had come to Rivet Town without permission.
"Is that so? It seems I can only give these things to other people then."
Luo Feng shook his head, looking at a basket of fruit in his hand as he spoke.
"Huh? These are fruits?"
"Luo Feng, where did you get these from?"
Natasha asked in shock.
"Want to try one?"
Luo Feng smiled and held a Teyvat-produced sunset fruit to Natasha's mouth.
"Maybe not. These fruits should be given to those who are lacking nutrition."
Natasha shook her head and placed her right hand on Luo Feng's arm.
However, Luo Feng did not lower the arm holding the fruit, despite Natasha's pull.
"Don't worry, I have plenty of fresh fruit and things."
"Even if you eat this sunset fruit, others will still get some."
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he opened his Imaginary Space again and took out a box of fruit.
From Natasha's perspective, a wooden box, about 5 meters long and wide, filled with various sweet-smelling fruits, suddenly appeared beside Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng, how many fruits like this do you have?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Natasha suddenly gripped the arm Luo Feng was holding the fruit with both hands and asked quickly.
Belobog was covered by cold ice and snow.
Even in the slightly better Upper District, fresh fruit was not a common item.
Let alone the Lower District.
People in the Lower District could barely eat fruit year-round.
As for the fruit in Luo Feng's hand.
Although Natasha didn't know their types, she could judge their quality from their color and appearance.
Not only that, Luo Feng seemed to have a considerable amount of fruit.
Thinking of how Luo Feng had previously mentioned bringing enough supplies for the Lower District for several months.
Natasha couldn't help but pay attention.
"Don't rush, eat this sunset fruit first."
"After that, I will answer your questions."
Luo Feng raised his arm and offered the sunset fruit to Natasha's mouth once again.
This time, Natasha didn't refuse.
She opened her small mouth and gently bit into the sunset fruit, as if afraid of eating too much.
Seeing this scene, Luo Feng felt a bit emotional.
On Natasha's side, as the sweet pulp entered her mouth.
She also rarely showed an expression of enjoyment.
"It's not poisonous, and it's very nutritious."
After analyzing it with her abilities, Natasha spoke.
Luo Feng: "Should I say she's worthy of being a doctor? Eating a fruit, and she even has to analyze it from a professional perspective."
Natasha: "Sorry, I've just never seen this fruit before, so I wanted to make sure of its properties before giving it to others."
Luo Feng nodded understandingly and smiled:
"It's okay, I actually think this is quite good."
"This way, you won't have to give all the delicious food and drinks to others."
"Because you need to test it, you can also eat and drink some yourself."
Natasha: "Do you want me to taste more of these foods?"
Luo Feng: "Yeah, after all, you and Seele helped me back then. Don't talk about that, come, try this bottle of grape juice."
As his voice fell, a bottle of high-quality grape juice given by Diluc appeared in Luo Feng's hand.
Natasha looked at the grape juice in Luo Feng's hand, then at Luo Feng's serious gaze.
In the end, she still opened her mouth so Luo Feng could pour the grape juice into her mouth.
As the high-quality grape juice entered her mouth, the expression on Natasha's face became increasingly intoxicated.
After carefully tasting the grape juice, Natasha wanted to analyze the properties of the juice.Just then.
She found that several more wooden boxes had appeared beside Luo Feng.
They were filled with supplies such as fruit, grain, disinfectant, and bandages, respectively.
"This, so many supplies, did you find all of these, Luo Feng?"
In her excitement, Natasha accidentally spilled grape juice on her chest.
But she couldn't bother to wipe it off now.
She quickly walked to the wooden boxes containing the supplies.
After confirming that the various supplies in the wooden boxes were real, Natasha was both surprised and delighted.
"That's right, what you see is just a small part."
"In my personal Imaginary Space, I have enough supplies for the Lower District to use for a long time."
"However, the space here is limited, so I won't take them all out."
"Later, when you find a warehouse, I'll take them out."
Luo Feng said, holding the sunset fruit that Natasha had bitten into in one hand and the grape juice she had drunk from in the other.
Natasha: "Are these all for us?"
Luo Feng: "Of course!"
"Tha... Thank you." Natasha took a step forward and happily held the hand Luo Feng was holding the sunset fruit with.
So much so that Natasha's eyes were even covered with a layer of mist.
Luo Feng: "Uh, you don't need to cry, right?"
"Sorry, I'm just too excited and too happy." Natasha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said happily:
"You don't know how much the Lower District is lacking supplies right now."
"Although Seele has been trying to find supplies."
"But so far, there hasn't been any good news."
"Also, I thought you were joking before."
"I didn't expect you were actually telling the truth."
"Luo Feng, after I find Hook, let's go back to Boulder Town together."
Mr. Luo Feng: "No problem. Also, I know where Hook is. She's just on the next street over and is very safe right now."
Saying this, Mr. Luo Feng raised his hand and pointed in the direction he had come from earlier.
"These supplies..."
Natasha looked at the precious supplies laid out on the ground.
"I'll just put them away."
With just a thought from Mr. Luo Feng, excluding the sunset fruit and grape juice in his hand,
the rest of the supplies returned to the Imaginary Space.
"Next, we'll finish this sunset fruit and grape juice."
"Then we can head over to where Hook is."
As Mr. Luo Feng spoke, he shoved the sunset fruit and grape juice into Natasha's hands without question.
"Don't refuse. You've already taken a bite of the sunset fruit."
"And the grape juice has been opened."
"You can't expect me to put them back, right?"
Seeing Natasha's look as if she wanted to politely refuse, Mr. Luo Feng immediately said.
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing Mr. Luo Feng's insistence, Natasha nodded and began to taste the sunset fruit in her hand.
Although she wanted to be frugal, the quantity of supplies Mr. Luo Feng had shown earlier
gave Natasha the confidence to be extravagant for once.
That being said,
by the time Natasha had drunk about half a bottle of grape juice,she finally stopped.
"I've never had such delicious grape juice."
"Such grape juice would be an extremely luxurious product even in the Upper District, right?"
"Drinking it all in one go like this feels a bit too extravagant."
Natasha murmured, raising her hand and handing the grape juice to Mr. Luo Feng.
"The rest is up to you."
Natasha said.
Mr. Luo Feng: "I have plenty here, just drink it."
Natasha: "I've had enough to drink, and besides, juice like this tastes better when shared, doesn't it?"
Mr. Luo Feng: "If you insist."
Mr. Luo Feng drank the remaining grape juice and then fixed his gaze on the bottle opening.
'Does this count as an indirect kiss?'
Mr. Luo Feng muttered in his heart.
"Stop looking, Luo Feng, let's go."
Seeing Mr. Luo Feng staring intently at the bottle opening, Natasha seemed to realize something.
With a slight blush, she reached out and took Mr. Luo Feng's hand, walking forward.
"Um, I'm not going to run away."
"I don't think you need to hold me so tightly."
Mr. Luo Feng said.
"Sorry, please let me hold your hand like this."
"It makes me feel a bit more at ease."
"After all, you did suddenly disappear before, didn't you?"
Natasha turned back and smiled at Mr. Luo Feng, without letting go of his hand.
Although she didn't know how Mr. Luo Feng had obtained these supplies,
that didn't diminish Mr. Luo Feng's importance in Natasha's eyes at this moment.
Under such circumstances, how could she easily let go of Mr. Luo Feng's hand?
"Whatever you want."
Anyway, he wasn't at a disadvantage.
Mr. Luo Feng was too lazy to continue asking Natasha to let go.I
t had to be said that Natasha's weapon was a grenade launcher.
And as a doctor, she constantly needed to hold scalpels.
But the skin on her hands was extremely delicate, without any calluses at all.
Holding Natasha's hand felt like holding soft cotton candy to Mr. Luo Feng.Natasha didn't know what Mr. Luo Feng was thinking.
All she wanted now was to quickly find Hook and bring Mr. Luo Feng and his supplies back to Boulder Town.
It didn't take long before Natasha led Mr. Luo Feng to where Jean, Lumine, and the others were.
And personally witnessed Barbara using her power to destroy the Blaze Out of Space.
Seeing the traces of battle presented before her eyes, Natasha's brows furrowed immediately.
"Hook has gotten involved in something she shouldn't have again."
"It seems I'll have to have a good talk with her when we get back."
"But for now, we still need to deal with the remaining Fragmentum Monsters"
After Natasha finished speaking, holding Mr. Luo Feng's hand with one hand, she picked up her grenade launcher with the other and aimed at the three remaining Incineration Shadewalkers facing Lumine, Jean, and the others.
...
Chapter 33 Tivat People: Is this Natasha perhaps Luo Feng's girlfriend?
"Barbara's attack is actually that powerful!?"
"She actually dealt with the Blaze Out of Space in one go!"
"Damn it, couldn't that guy Luo Feng have warned us earlier?"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have had such a hard time fighting."
Paimon snapped back to reality from the fact that Barbara had defeated the Blaze Out of Space with one blow.
She angrily spoke to the large pit created by the Blaze Out of Space's explosion.
"It was my own failure to think of how to use this power, it's not Mr. Luo Feng's fault."
"And, I think the reason Mr. Luo Feng didn't tell us at first"
"was to test us."
Barbara shook her head and said.
As soon as she finished speaking,
Barbara's body went limp and she fell forward.
Jean quickly helped her up.
"Are you alright, Barbara?"
Jean asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I just accidentally used too much power, so I'm a bit exhausted."
"After resting for a bit, I'll be fine."
"You don't need to worry, Sister."
Barbara shook her head.
"Thanks to Barbara, the troublesome enemies are gone."
"Now you should rest well, and leave the rest to us."
Lumine stood in front of Barbara and Jean, confidently pointing her sword at the remaining 3 Incineration Shadewalkers.
Jean, Klee, and even Hook also raised their weapons.
The difficult monster had been dealt with.
Lumine and the others didn't pay any mind to the remaining three Incineration Shadewalkers.
Even without Barbara's Abundance Power support.
Everyone believed they could handle them too.
Just as the few of them were about to finish off the remaining enemies in one go.
Suddenly, three cannonballs, accompanied by the sound of artillery, fell from the sky.
They landed on three Incineration Shadewalkers respectively.
The powerful force actually shattered them on the spot.
Acting Grand Master Jean: "Hmm? Where did those cannonballs come from?"
Traveler: "So powerful, they shattered these guys in one go."
Barbara: "Is it someone helping us?"
"Could it be Luo Feng brother made a move?" Klee blinked, looking at Hook beside her:
"Hook, why do you look unwell?"
"Does your stomach hurt?"
Klee asked with some confusion.
"That's the old witch's weapon, the old witch is coming."
Hook said nervously.
"Old witch?"
Klee tilted her head in confusion.
"Hook, you recognize the previous shelling?"
Paimon asked curiously.
"Mm, I won't be mistaken."
"That's the old witch's howitzer."
"She must be here to catch me, no, I have to leave quickly."
Hook said anxiously.
"Hook, don't worry, everyone will protect you."
"I'll help too."
"No matter how scary that old witch is, you'll be fine."
Paimon patted her chest and said confidently.
"No, you have no idea how scary the old witch is."
Hook shook her head and said.
"Old witch... are you talking about me?"
A familiar voice sounded behind Hook, instantly making her tense up.
Klee, Acting Grand Master Jean, and Traveler turned around and saw Luo Feng and Natasha walking over.
However, upon seeing the two holding hands.
Acting Grand Master Jean, Traveler, Barbara, and the others showed strange looks.
"This is the old witch?"
"Not old at all... Huh!"
Paimon was speaking when Natasha's gaze fell upon her.
For some reason, Paimon swallowed the remaining two words, "witch", back down."
"So, so scary eyes."
Paimon muttered softly.
"Who told you to not control your mouth."
Traveler said, putting her hands on her hips.
Hearing this, Paimon wanted to retort, but in the end, she couldn't voice the words in her heart.
"No... no, what I just said was Natasha sister."
Hook mechanically turned her little head, looking at Natasha, who had walked closer, with a fearful expression.
"Forget it, this time I'll assume I misheard."
Natasha shook her head and said.
Hearing this, Hook raised her head in surprise.
If it were before, if Natasha heard her call her an old witch.
She would inevitably be lectured by Natasha.
This time, Natasha let her off so easily.
This was truly unexpected for Hook.
What Hook didn't know was that Natasha was currently in an extremely happy state because of the good news Luo Feng brought.
Naturally, she was much more lenient towards Hook.
"However, we can skip the matter of the name."
"But the matter of you participating in a dangerous battle, we cannot skip."
"Hook, we should have agreed that you cannot use the Diggertron for dangerous things, right."
Natasha said seriously.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Hook knows she was wrong."
Hook lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"Go back to the clinic and reflect properly."
"If there's a next time, I'll have to consider taking back the Diggertron in your hand."
Natasha said.
Hearing this, Hook buried her head even lower.
Alice: What a serious lady, it seems this lady named Natasha is Hook's guardian.
Kaeya: Somehow I see the shadow of Acting Grand Master Jean and Klee in Miss Natasha and Hook.
Lisa: It seems behind every lovely little girl, there's a serious older sister.
But more than that, I'm more curious about the relationship between Luo Feng and this Miss Natasha now.
Dehya: This Natasha has been holding Luo Feng's hand tightly, could they be a couple?
Yae Miko: If the two are really a couple, perhaps becoming friends with this Natasha makes it more likely to get Luo Feng's help.
Perhaps, there might be a greater chance of getting the opportunity to board Luo Feng's Astral Express later.
Lisa: If the two are really a couple, that would be too bad, I was quite interested in Luo Feng.
Alice: Perhaps they just know each other, Miss Lisa should still have a chance. For Mondstadt, go win over Luo Feng, hehe.
Lisa: Thank you for your encouragement, Miss Alice, I will try my best.But compared to my matters here, let's first pray that Acting Grand Master Jean and Barbara can become good friends with this Natasha.
Mondstadt.
Good Hunter restaurant
"You didn't really fall for this Luo Feng, did you?"
Mona asked curiously, looking at Lisa who was leisurely enjoying her meal opposite her."
"I don't deny that I'm quite interested in Luo Feng."
"After all, mysterious people always attract people's attention, don't they?"
Lisa smiled.
"That's true, that man is indeed quite intriguing."
"My astrology can't predict anything related to him at all."
Mona said with a hint of distress.
"However, even though there are many intriguing and curious things about Luo Feng."
"That's not enough to make you fall for him, is it?"
Mona asked curiously.
"Perhaps it's because he helped Mondstadt defend against the dragon disaster."
"Perhaps it's because he helped Barbara embark on a Path, making Mondstadt stronger."
"Perhaps it's because he possesses the ability to lead more Mondstadt out of Teyvat."
"So, I've developed a slight fondness for him in my heart."
Lisa shrugged and said leisurely.
Mona: "Are you serious? I thought you were just saying that casually on the forum."
Lisa smiled and said:
"It is casual, but that doesn't mean I won't genuinely fall for Luo Feng."
"After all these years, he's the only man who has made me want to investigate him."
"Isn't there a saying, when a woman becomes curious about a man, it might be the beginning of love.
"Mona: "Undeniable, but I don't think someone as rational as you would believe such words."
"Who knows." Lisa's lips curved slightly upwards as she looked at Natasha displayed on the live stream screen.
"Or perhaps, I was too concerned about the woman holding hands with Luo Feng, which is why I said those words."
Lisa said."This woman named Natasha?"
"Speaking of which, your voices are quite similar."
"That's strange."
Mona said.
Lisa smiled casually and refocused her attention on Luo Feng.
'Demanding too much knowledge from the gods of Teyvat requires careful consideration of whether one can afford the corresponding price.'
'Sumeru's approach of craving World Tree knowledge is absolutely not advisable.'
'The knowledge contained within a Vision is the same. A Vision grants mortals the power to change their lives, but the price is still unclear.'
'Compared to the knowledge behind the World Tree and the Vision, the knowledge from beyond the Universe that Luo Feng can access seems much safer.'
'Luo Feng also seems trustworthy.'
'The Power of Destiny also has many astonishing aspects.'
'Through the Path and the knowledge from the Universe, perhaps I can truly understand the truth behind the Vision and the World Tree.'
Lisa murmured to herself, thinking back to her conversation with Luo Feng when she guided him around Mondstadt.
Lisa: "Luo Feng, why do you want to lead Tivat People to see the Universe outside Teyvat? Someone like you shouldn't really need Teyvat's mora, right?"
Luo Feng: "It seems Miss Lisa is quite worried about my intentions. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards Teyvat. Being a guide is my hobby."
Lisa: "Is that all?"
Luo Feng:
"Of course not, I also look forward to seeing what the Tivat People will be like after they embark on a Path."
Lisa: "And why is that?"
Luo Feng smiled mysteriously and said:
"The Teyvat Continent is surrounded by a false sky; the Tivat People have no idea what the real starry sky is."
"That's too much of a shame."
Lisa: "False sky?"
Hearing a term she had never heard before, Lisa's beautiful brows furrowed tightly.
Lisa: "You mean, the starry sky we usually see is false?"
Luo Feng nodded slightly and said:
"Exactly! Although the false sky can be considered a form of protection for Teyvat."
"But in my opinion, this protection is a bit too weak."
Luo Feng looked up at the sky.
His eyes seemed to pierce through the clouds, through the sky, reaching the false sky surrounding Teyvat.
"This protection cannot withstand threats from the Universe."
"Let alone galaxy-level threats.""
Even Planet-level threats, Teyvat probably can't handle."
"The reason why the Teyvat Continent is still safe now."
"Is simply because the Teyvat Continent is sufficiently remote in the Universe."
"And the false sky has a certain concealing effect."
"However, the false sky won't exist forever, and threats from the Universe will eventually set their sights on the Teyvat Continent."
"By then, relying solely on the Vision, the Tivat People shouldn't expect to resist those threats from the Universe."
"Even the Seven Gods would be quite powerless against threats from the Universe."
"So I think, letting the Tivat People come into contact with The Power of Destiny before the crisis arrives might be a good idea."
Luo Feng said.
...
Chapter 34: Jean and Klee, Natasha and Hook; Different People, Similar Situations
"So, you want to help the Tivat People?"
Lisa asked curiously.
"In a way, yes, after all, I quite like the Teyvat Continent."
"Likewise, I quite like some of the people here."
Luo Feng gave Lisa a meaningful look.
At least, he was quite fond of characters like Lisa who had accompanied him in playing the Genshin game and brought him many good memories.
"Of course, I will only help those who are fated with me."
Luo Feng smiled.
"Miss Lisa, you might not believe what I'm saying right now."
"But that's alright."
"Coincidentally, the place I'm going to take everyone next is a place currently facing the risk of world destruction."
"Just use your eyes to confirm whether Teyvat could survive if it faced the threat that Belobog is facing."
Luo Feng smiled.
"A place currently facing the risk of world destruction?"
"Then, if we travel there, will we be safe?"
Lisa asked.
"With me here, everyone will naturally be safe."
Luo Feng smiled.
After hearing what Luo Feng said, Lisa's beautiful brows furrowed tightly, as if she had fallen into deep thought.
And by the time Lisa came back to her senses and wanted to continue asking Luo Feng, he had already walked several meters away.
Seeing this, Lisa quickly sped up and came to Luo Feng's side, grabbing one of his hands.
Lisa: "Luo Feng, I still have some questions."
Luo Feng: "Let's stop talking about this topic here, Miss Lisa."
Lisa smiled: "Don't say that, we still have plenty of time, don't we?"
Luo Feng: "But right now, I'd rather focus on touring Mondstadt."
"Really not?" Lisa asked with a look of seeking knowledge.
"Even if you look at me with those watery eyes, my answer will be the same."
"If you want to know more, go to the Universe, Miss Lisa."
"If you can obtain some knowledge from the Universe, if you can embark on the Path of Erudition."
"Perhaps, your questions can be answered."
Luo Feng paused, then smiled mysteriously at Lisa:
"If you can step onto the Path of Erudition, perhaps you can not only answer questions about the Universe."
"It's also possible you could answer the questions about Vision, the World Tree, and the gods of Teyvat."
Upon hearing this, Lisa's heart suddenly raced, feeling as though Luo Feng had seen right through her.
As a rare top student from Sumeru in two hundred years, Lisa had acquired a vast amount of knowledge.
But the more she learned, the more she worried.
After witnessing the scholars who babbled madly in the Sumeru rainforest and the wise men in the council who seemed to possess great wisdom.
Lisa deeply understood the price one had to pay for seeking knowledge from the World Tree.
After learning about the hidden mysteries behind Vision, Lisa also gradually felt fear towards the truth behind it.
These matters hidden deep within her heart should not have been known to outsiders.
But Luo Feng clearly pointed them out.
This couldn't help but make Lisa concerned.
She even temporarily overlooked the new Aeon, 'Erudition,' that Luo Feng had mentioned.
"I've said a bit too much unnecessary stuff today."
"Next, I'll trouble our guide Lisa to show me around Mondstadt properly."
"Oh, and please don't reveal what we talked about today to others."
"At least, not yet."
Luo Feng said to Lisa meaningfully.
"Alright, if that's what you request, Luo Feng, I will comply," Lisa said with a smile.
"By the way, are you hungry? How about I take you to the Good Hunter restaurant to try some of Mondstadt's delicious food?"
With that, Lisa took Luo Feng's hand and headed towards the Good Hunter restaurant.
...
Time returns to the present.
Mondstadt.
'If the price required to step onto a Path is truly just simply giving Luo Feng some mora and satisfying some of his interests.'
'Then this price is not unacceptable.'
'But everything, perhaps, still needs to wait until I truly meet a Aeon to be confirmed.'
'However, even if Luo Feng is hiding something, he shouldn't have any ill intentions, right?'
Lisa looked at Luo Feng's performance in the live stream, a relieved smile appearing on her face.
'Before I meet a Aeon, I can chat with Barbara and the others about Aeon of Abundance first.'
'And the Erudition Aeon... I forgot to ask last time, I must ask Luo Feng about it properly next time.'
Lisa thought to herself.
...
Belobog Lower District.
Jean watched Natasha disciplining Hook and couldn't help but look at Klee.
In Natasha, she somehow saw a reflection of herself.
And Klee, seeing the wronged Hook, also seemed to see a reflection of herself being caught by Acting Grand Master Jean for bombing fish.
A feeling of mutual sympathy instantly surged into Klee's heart.
She came to Hook's side, raised her head, and said to Natasha:
"Sister Natasha, please don't blame Hook."
"Hook joined the fight to help us."
Jean also stepped forward and said:
"Indeed, we owe Hook thanks for the help earlier."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten out of trouble so easily."
A woman who could easily shatter three Incineration Shadewalkers and was so close to Luo Feng.
Jean dared not be negligent.
"So that's how it is, then let's let it go this time."
Natasha said.
She hadn't intended to blame Hook much anyway.
Since someone was speaking up for her now, she took the opportunity to cancel Hook's punishment.
"Speaking of which, who are these people?"
Natasha looked at Lumine and the others curiously and asked.
"These are the people I brought."
"They are my guests, I guess."
Luo Feng said at the right time.
"Since you are Luo Feng's guests, you are also my guests."
"I am Natasha, and I own a clinic in Belobog Lower District."
"If any of you need anything, you can come to me for help."
After hearing Luo Feng's words, Natasha's face immediately showed a warm smile.
Then she even cast a healing spell on Jean and the others.
Although none of them had any injuries thanks to Barbara's healing power.
Under the abundant Bounty Power of Natasha.
Everyone's bodies instantly felt much lighter.
Especially Barbara, who was also a Pathstrider of the Path of Abundance.
She even felt that the Bounty Power within her seemed to have recovered somewhat.
Jean, Barbara, and the others quickly thanked Natasha.
"Natasha is not only a doctor but also possesses considerable combat power."
"Although she is on the path of abundance."
"In terms of combat power alone, she is even slightly stronger than you, Barbara."
Luo Feng said at the right time.
"Indeed, is Miss Natasha also a Pathstrider?"
Jean sighed with emotion.
Paimon: "And, she's an Abundance Pathstrider just as amazing as Barbara."
Lumine: "Being able to easily take care of those Incineration Shadewalkers, it makes me want to step onto a Path even more."
