The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat - Chapter 302
c300 So cool!
After Ying and Kamisato Ayaka entered the door, they came to a vast platform. This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling reminded Ying of the simulated universe he had experienced before.
Ying saw that the people staying in the square were almost all familiar faces, Arataki Ito, Maplehara Manyo, Goro, Yonomiya, Hayou, Ganyu, Keqing, and a new face that she didn’t recognize.
“Hahahaha, my dear friend, you are finally here.” Ichito Arataki walked up to Ying and laughed loudly.
“Yidou, what are you doing?” Paimon asked doubtfully.
“Forget it, I was originally going to scare people, but a shrine maiden from Narukami Taisha Shrine came to me and told me that the rules of the Courage Trial Tournament had been changed, and then I came here in a daze.” Arataki Ito waved his hand and said .
At this point, Arataki Yitou suddenly thought of something and suggested to Ying: “By the way, dear friend, do you have a partner? How about we form a team?”
“Eh? Ichito, don’t you have a partner to form a team?” After listening to Arataki Yito’s words, Paimon asked doubtfully, “Don’t I remember that you need a partner to enter here?”
“Yes, I was clearly with my younger brother before, and then she only teleported me here without my younger brother.” Arataki Yidou replied: “I asked them and it was the same. The original team None of my partners came in.”
“What’s going on?” Paimon scratched his head in confusion.
“Traveler, Paimon, let me explain.” Maplehara Manyo walked up to the two of them and said, “As Arataki Ito said, the first round of the Daring Test is to find a good partner. Guard the forest to find the item they have hidden, which is the three-color dumpling.”
“However, we were well prepared before, and a miko came to us and said – [The rules of the Daring Test Tournament have been changed], and then we came here according to the other party’s instructions, and the partners who had formed a team before were all Gone.”
“Moreover, I discovered that there is one thing in common, that is, the people summoned to this space all have the eyes of God. I suspect that those who do not have the eyes of God are excluded from participating in the real test of courage.”
“What do you mean, this mysterious man’s target is the Eye of God?” A man with reddish-brown hair and the Eye of the Wind Elemental God touched his chin and analyzed.
“Just don’t rule out this possibility, because except for travelers, everyone among us has the eye of god, and travelers can also use elemental power.” Maplehara Manyo replied.
“Okay, okay, little guys, don’t guess.” Suddenly a pink figure appeared in the center of the platform.
Kamisato Ayaka: “Mr. Yaeguji?”
Goro: “Son of the Eightfold God?!”
Paimon: “Son of God, why are you here?”
“It seems that everyone is here.” Yae Shenzi looked at the people who had different reactions due to his appearance and said happily: “Goro, don’t be so nervous, look at your tail standing up.”
Goro: “.”
“Mr. Yaeguji, is this year’s courage test meeting going to be held?” Kamisato Ayaka asked hesitantly.
“You have also discovered that this year’s Daring Test Conference is different, so I am curious why you entered this space.” Yae Kamiko explained with a smile: “Because this is a simulated world developed and sponsored by Sumeru God. As for why To say it is a simulated world means that in this world, except for your own consciousness, everything else is illusory.”
“Simulated world?” Paimon scratched his head and asked, “Is it the same as “Genshin Impact”?”
“Yeah, almost.” Yae Shenzi nodded: “In this world, even if you are eaten by monsters, your life will not be in danger, so be bold.”
Kamisato Ayaka: “.”
Arataki Yidou: “.”
The words of Yae Shenzi made most of the people present froze, because Yae Shenzi gave an important message, that is, there is a great terror in this world. Although Yae Shenzi guaranteed that there is no life danger, the mental harm will definitely be insignificant. avoidable.
“At the same time, in order to prevent you from being frightened by the weirdness and causing irreversible damage, we will observe the SAN value of each of you, which is the sanity. If your SAN value has reached the critical point, the simulation world will If you are kicked out automatically, being kicked out from the world means that you have failed in this test of courage.”
“Because the Daring Test Conference has become like this, the rewards will be richer. As long as you clear the simulated world, you can get rewards, and the person who clears the simulated world faster will be the first place in the Daring Test Conference. Even the last place will be rewarded. It’s a huge reward, but of course this reward will be gone after being kicked out of the world.”
Yae Shenzi continued: “Okay, do you have any questions? Or if you don’t want to participate in this special courage test conference, I can send you out to participate in an ordinary courage test conference.”
After hearing Yae Shenzi’s words, several people looked at each other, and then no one chose to quit.
“Mr. Yaegomiya, are there any rules for the courage test?” Maplehara Manyo asked: “We know nothing about the contents of this special courage test.”
“Yes, because your partners have been separated, it is recommended that you work in pairs now. Of course, you can also act alone.” Yae Shenzi said: “As for the rules, you are also looking for things. In the secret realm, there are blue and purple , gold, and colorful props, they can increase your abilities to varying degrees, and after completing the mission objectives, you can obtain a four-star weapon.”
“Four-star weapons?” Maplehara Manyo said in surprise: “Are the rewards so rich?”
It is well known to all Teyvat people that weapons have different levels. Most people hold three-star weapons, just like the tigerfish knife in his hand, while four-star weapons are precious weapons of a higher level than this knife. Above that are five-star weapons made by gods. Such weapons are readily available to gods, but are out of reach for ordinary people. After all, noble gods will not be idle and make weapons for people.
“Yes, and you can get them as long as you pass the level.” Yae God said with a smile: “And it was made by the general himself. If you become the top three in this competition, you will also get five-star weapons.”
Yae God’s words made everyone present a little tempted. There is no danger, just testing your courage and then completing the goal will get rich rewards. They think it would be foolish to quit halfway.
“Okay, do you have any doubts?” Yae Shinko continued, “I won’t tell you about the secret realm. You need to find it out by yourself. If you have no other doubts, team up and walk to the teleportation array behind me. I will teleport you in.”
“Really? Are you going to team up with Kamisato Ayaka?” Ara Taki Ichito said to Ying, “Why don’t we team up?”
“Ichito, this won’t work. We have already agreed with Ayaka to team up together.” Paimeng refused directly.
“Well, that’s a pity. I think if we join forces, we will definitely win the championship of this competition.” Ara Taki Ichito heard Paimeng’s words, covered his head and said with some disappointment, “Forget it, I’m going to find teammates. I’ll show you how I won the championship.”
Paimeng: “.”
It’s a pity that we can win the championship of this competition with you, and whether we can complete the competition is another matter.
Everyone thought about it on the platform and decided to find a teammate, because the ranking of the competition is divided according to the team, and more teammates also have more hope.
So it became a group of Kaedehara Manye and Shikanoin Heizo, a group of Keqing and Ganyu, a group of Ara Taki Ito and Goro, and a group of Xiao Gong and Zao Yu.
“Since you have formed a team, let’s go.” Yae Shinko covered her mouth and smiled and said, “I wish you all have fun in this test of courage.”
Everyone: “.”
Looking at Yae Shinko’s brilliant smile, everyone here couldn’t help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.
“Ying, have you noticed that Yae Shinko is laughing so happily.” Paimeng shrank his neck and said, “I think this test of courage will definitely be terrifying.”
“Don’t worry, there is no life-threatening danger, what are you afraid of?” Ying looked at her with some contempt after hearing Paimeng’s words and said, “If you feel scared, stay, don’t scare us when I complete the task.”
Paimeng: “.”
After listening to Ying’s unceremonious complaints, Paimeng could only look at the other party with a pair of resentful eyes.
After everyone began to enter the teleportation array one after another, only Paimeng, Kamisato Ayaka, Ganyu, Keqing, and Yae Godson were left on the field.
“Keqing, Ganyu, why are you here too?” Paimeng asked after watching them leave.
“Of course, it’s to maintain the order of the competition. Master said that there are some uncontrollable factors in the simulation world, so he asked us to help take care of it to avoid any problems.” Keqing explained: “So Ganyu and I entered as contestants.”
“Ah? If you are here, then we will miss the championship.” After hearing Keqing’s words, Paimeng said a little disappointed.
Keqing smiled and replied: “Don’t worry, we won’t complete the task, and the ranking of the competition is still for you to compete.”
“Great, then the championship must be ours this time.” Paimeng said here, turned to Ying and said: “Ying, you said so, right.”
Ying: “Ah, right, right!”
Paimeng: “.”
“Okay, go in quickly, the competition is about to start.” Ganyu reminded.
Keqing nodded and said, “Well, then we’ll go first.”
“Okay.” Paimon waved his hand.
“Traveler, is this secret realm really scary?” Kamisato Ayaka said hesitantly.
Ying listened to Kamisato Ayaka’s words and assured her, “It’s not scary, it’s just a secret realm, and Ayaka, I will protect you, you know I’m very strong.”
“Well, thank you.” Kamisato Ayaka listened to Ying’s words and smiled at her, “I will try not to hold you back.”
Ying: “.”
Oh no, it’s a heartbeat.
“Ying, what are you daydreaming about, let’s go.” Paimon looked at Ying who was staring at Kamisato Ayaka blankly, and said in a puzzled voice.
“Ah? Let’s go.” Ying quickly came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and walked towards the direction of the teleportation array as if nothing had happened.
Kamisato Ayaka blushed and lowered her head and followed Ying silently.
“Interesting.” Yae Shinko looked at the two people who were in a bit of a wrong situation, touched his chin and chuckled.
After Ying and Kamisato Ayaka entered the secret realm, they found themselves in a dilapidated Liyue-style city. The buildings had become decayed, and the entire area looked devoid of any life. There were not even flowers or plants. There were only trees that had been dead for who knows how many years.
The sky here was also covered by thick dark clouds, and it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night, but if you looked carefully, you could still see the road clearly. Just as the two were thinking, a light screen appeared in front of them. Ying had experienced that world before, and knew that this was a CG called a cutscene commentary in the game, and its main function was to roughly introduce the background of this world to the players.
The screen in front of me began to show the shape of a continent, and then as the camera moved, subtitles also appeared at the bottom of the screen:
“Cangyuan Continent was originally a harmonious and fertile land, but after a strange storm, the creatures here developed in an irreversible direction. Everyone was infected with a disease called [Fertility]. The whole body of the patient was parasitized by foreign objects. They gave the parasites great pain all the time, making them unable to live or die.”
“But because of the special nature of [Fertility], they can devour their own kind and creatures to relieve this pain. In this world that has not lasted long, they should have died out. But one day, an arrow landed in the sky, bringing a long-lost sunshine to this world. [Patrol] He appeared. He aimed to destroy [Fertility] and patrol these monsters on this continent. As a member of the monster, you need to do everything you can to escape the pursuit of the patrol, because for [Fertility], the patrol is invincible.”
Paimon: “???”
Ying: “???”
[Fertility] and [Patrol]? Good guy, Liusu copied it directly, but now the appearance of [Feng Rao] in the light screen is even uglier and more terrifying than the Feng Rao evil creatures seen before, and the face is so abominable that it makes children stop crying, which makes Ying and Paimeng a little unacceptable.
“Traveler, Paimeng, what’s wrong?” Looking at the two people with strange faces, Shen Li Linghua asked a little nervously.
Ying shook her head and said, “No, nothing.”
“Yes, I just feel that this hunting and these [Feng Rao] are so scary, and there is no sun in this world, it is pitch black, I am a little uncomfortable.” Paimeng nodded and agreed.
“Yes, yes, these are more terrifying than ghosts.” Shen Li Linghua paused for a long time before continuing to ask Ying and Paimeng: “If I show unbecoming behavior later, please don’t laugh at me.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t laugh at you.” Paimeng nodded seriously.
As the countdown ended, Ying and Shen Li Linghua flashed and turned into [Feng Rao] and appeared in this world.
“Wow!” When Paimong was about to turn around and say something to Ying, she saw Ying and Kamisato Ayaka who had turned into [Abundant]. The two looked even scarier than what was shown on the screen. They were wrapped in the unknown black object, so that they could only be seen as a human figure.
“Paimong, I told you not to be startled. The atmosphere in this world is thick enough. Don’t make the game more difficult.” Ying complained to Paimong who was flying beside her helplessly.
“I, I’m not.” Paimong looked at the unknown object that kept squirming because of Ying’s words. The SAN value in her mind was dropping wildly until Paimong’s SAN value dropped to 0. Her body began to trigger the protection mechanism, which made her SAN value, which had been dropping wildly, increase rapidly again.
After his SAN value was restored, Paimong closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to adjust his state, then waved his hands at Ying and Paimong and said, “You all look so scary, and you speak in an inaudible roar. If I hadn’t teamed up with you, I wouldn’t have heard anything you said.”
This incident only happened in a moment, so neither Kamisato Ayaka nor Ying noticed that Paimong had any problems.
“Really?” After hearing Paimong’s words, Ying turned her head doubtfully and looked at Kamisato Ayaka next to her, and then she saw the indescribable humanoid object, which made her unable to connect it with Kamisato Ayaka in her mind.
Ying: “!!!”
“What, what happened?” Kamisato Ayaka noticed Ying’s panic, turned around and asked in confusion: “Do I look like you now? That’s too, too…”
“Too cool!”
Ying: “???”
Paimon: “???”
“Ayaka, what did you just say?” Paimon scratched his head and asked in confusion: “I didn’t hear clearly.”
“No, nothing.” Kamisato Ayaka noticed her slip of the tongue, quickly straightened her expression and shook her head and said: “I didn’t say anything just now, you must have heard it wrong.”
Ying: “.”
Paimon: “.”
Seeing that the two were silent, Kamisato Ayaka took a deep breath, suppressed her inner shyness and said to the two again: “Please, please forget it. What happened just now. ”
“I just looked at the rules introduction. We can equip two skills, one is elemental combat skills, and the other is elemental burst. Different elemental skills can be obtained by picking up different types of elemental seeds.” Ying touched his chin and analyzed: “These skills can be used to limit the pace of [Patrol Hunt]. For example, the water and ice elements can temporarily freeze [Patrol Hunt], fire and thunder can repel him, thunder and ice elements can reduce the opponent’s fixed defense, and wind elements can spread the elements originally attached to him, so that that single element can cause higher fixed damage to him. ”
“And our goal is to avoid the pursuit of [Patrol Hunt] while collecting props for the game, but these props must be obtained by completing a series of tasks. ”
“One thing to note is that Patroller cannot be killed. Although his skills can reduce his concentration value, when the opponent’s concentration value is reduced to zero, he will fall into a brief stun, allowing us to escape. , but if you continuously put it into a dazed state, it will become violent, immune to elemental attacks and control effects for a period of time, and it will also increase the opponent’s movement speed a lot.”
“According to the introduction, other people besides us have also become [Fengfei]. We cannot communicate except with our partners, and [Patrol] was also selected between us. His task is relatively simple. That is to destroy us as [Feng Fu] in this area. Every time one is eliminated, he will get extra game points.”
“Damn it, why am I not [Hunting]? Forget it, let’s go find props. If nothing else, let’s find two skills and equipment first, so that we can fight back.”
Kamisato Ayaka: “.”
I know you’re saying this to change the subject, but it’s quite scary to be chased around by a [Patrol] as a contestant, and it has to be done in such a dark environment. Tasks to obtain props needed for the competition
Ah, and Ying is right, I really want to be a hunter, and this competition is confidential, and no one except Ying knows what I have done.
Thinking of this, Kamisato Ayaka sighed again.
