Genshin Impact: Teyvat High School

"Okay, I have modified the Mingliu Stone for you. Now it no longer needs the two elements of [End] or [Nothingness] to give it energy."

Jinwu divided the transformed Mingliu Stone into three parts and gave them to Ying, Zhiqiong and Paimon.

"After the transformation, this Mingliu Stone is equivalent to a natural flashlight that does not require electricity. When you need to use it, just push the switch at the bottom of the Mingliu Stone. Of course, it also has a new name, called [Mingliu Stone Catalyst]!"

Zhiqiong fiddled with the black part at the bottom of the Mingliu Stone, and suddenly the blue Mingliu Stone at the top emitted a blue light, and then he said in amazement:

"Oh! Sister Jinwu is amazing!"

Jinwu did not respond to Zhiqiong's words, but immediately got to the point and said to everyone:

"Okay, when are you going to go down and investigate?"

"I think... now."

Ying was the first to answer, eager to save people.

"Well! You're so dedicated to your work, you deserve praise! Then Jack!"

Jinwu turned around and called out to Jack who was sitting in the camp.

When Jack heard the sound, he immediately covered his head with his arms and shouted timidly: "Wow wow wow... Monster, don't come over here!!"

Jin Wu was speechless at Jack's cowardly look. She stood up and walked in front of Jack, with her hands on her hips: "Open your eyes and see if I am a monster!"

Jack slowly put his hand down when he heard Jinwu's reprimanding tone and turned to look at Jinwu.

"Jin...Sister Jinwu..."

"You still remember my name? I thought you were really scared by the monster!"

"me……"

Jack was sobbing and unable to utter a word. Jin Wu certainly didn't have the patience to wait for him to finish a word, and complained directly to him:

"Hey! Obviously, people named Jack are all very brave. Look at Captain Jack, who drove the Black Pearl and created many legends on the sea! And look at Jack the Giant of Light, who dared to fight against huge monsters! And there is Jack the Ripper, who was so powerful that he caused panic in the whole place by himself, and he was not even discovered! And there is also Gentleman Jack, who captured the hearts of many girls in the manor with his rose cane!"

As Jinwu spoke, he looked at Jack's cowardly expression.

"Look at you again. You are tall and strong, but you are so scared by a strange monster that you dare not leave the camp again! You still call yourself a manly Jack! You will go with those three girls to investigate later! Do you hear me?"

When Jack heard that they were going to investigate together, he started to tremble with fear. He said tremblingly: "But...but there is a monster..."

"No matter how weird you are, you'd better quit the exploration team and go back to your electronics factory to screw screws. It's safe there and there are no monsters!"

It can be seen that Jinwu is indeed angry, but her anger is justified. Jack just stays in the camp and does not go anywhere. He only consumes the resources of the exploration team without making any contribution. So how can Jinwu, as the captain, not be angry?

Although the words were a bit harsh, they were also meant to persuade him.

"I..." Jack was in a dilemma. Finally, he lowered his head and sighed and agreed, "Oh... okay... I'll go."

"That's good, pack up and get ready to go!"

After Jinwu gave Jack his instructions, he turned around and walked back, then smiled and apologized in front of the three people:

"Oh, I'm sorry. Ever since that guy was scared by a monster that suddenly appeared during the exploration, he has never dared to leave the camp again. Please forgive me."

Paimeng listened to Jinwu's words thoughtfully.

"By the way, Sister Jinwu, what does the monster you are talking about look like? What scares Jack so much?"

"A monster? The monster is very tall and strong, wearing green armor and holding a huge sword. He can't speak. You can hear his low growl when he approaches. It was also this monster that ended our investigation, so we need someone with some skills to investigate, and we will assist him."

As Jinwu spoke, she looked at Ying and Zhiqiong with a questioning look. She scanned the three of them from head to toe.

"Forget it, I believe in Mu Ning's vision! You guys should be the type that hides your true abilities. You are going to investigate now, right?"

"Well, Sister Jinwu, we can start investigating now!"

After Ying finished speaking, she looked at Zhiqiong beside her. Zhiqiong had been drinking tea for a long time before she noticed Ying's eyes. Then she was stunned for a moment before she understood what Ying meant by looking at her.

"Well, I'll listen to you, senior."

Paimeng followed Zhiqiong and answered:

"Of course I followed Ying!"

"That's good!"

Jinwu stood up, stretched, and turned back to shout to Jack in the camp: "Man Jack! Are you ready?"

"Okay... Sister Jinwu..."

Jack staggered out of the camp carrying a bag.

"Inside... there are five days' worth of dry food, instruments for underground investigation, four communicators, a medical kit, and... a gas mask."

Jack choked up and told Paimon what was in the bag before he could ask.

"Well, that's about right. All right then, you can enter the Layered Abyss to investigate now. Be sure to pay attention to safety. There are many dangers in the Layered Abyss. Also, be careful of that monster. If there is any danger, it is best not to fight them. Run if you can..."

Jinwu was like an old woman, talking in a long-winded manner about a lot of safety issues.

After an unknown amount of time, Jin Wu finally finished explaining the issues that needed to be paid attention to in the Layered Rock Abyss. Finally, he gave another earnest reminder: "In fact, we have another important task in this investigation."

"Ah? What is Sister Jinwu's mission? You didn't even tell me about this important mission!"

Zhiqiong seemed to really think of herself as a member of the exploration team, and she even forgot that she originally came here just to look for treasure.

Ying sat next to Zhiqiong and looked at Zhiqiong, thinking so.

"When all the miners were evacuating the Stratum Abyss, we found that several miners were missing, including the team leader Lao He. This time, we are investigating the anomalies of the Stratum Abyss and we have to look for the missing miners. If we find them, we must bring them back, because there is poisonous gas all over the place, and if the miners stay there for too long, their lives will be in serious danger."

"Ah! So we're not looking for treasure..."

Zhiqiong stopped talking halfway through her sentence, but Jinwu heard it.

Okay, I take back my thoughts, she is still thinking about the treasure.

Ying's thoughts were slapped in the face by the speed of light.

Jinwu asked again in confusion.

"What did you say, looking for treasure??!"

"Ah... I mean, it's not about ensuring everyone's safety."

"Safety is definitely the top priority. Now that you are here, you are definitely safe. Don't worry. We will do our best to ensure your safety. Please keep in touch after you go down!"

"Fine……"

When Zhiqiong heard the requirement to "keep in touch at any time", her interest was reduced by more than half.

But there was no turning back, so she planned to cut off contact when the treasure was found, and then restore it after it was done. By then, she could just make up a reason to fool Sister Jinwu and everything would be fine. I am so smart!

Zhiqiong thought proudly, countless plans coming to his mind.

Finally, Ying, Zhiqiong, Paimon, and the manly Jack formed a four-person team, ready to go, and under the command of Sister Jinwu, they entered the deeper layers of the Layered Rock Abyss...

……

The two blond men walked together to a mysterious place.

They looked at the collapsed building in front of them.

One of the boys with blond hair and pigtails couldn't help but stretch.

"Well - this place is really difficult to walk. There are rocks everywhere and the road is bumpy. It's so tiring!"

"There is no road here," the blond man with a half mask on his face took a deep breath and then said coldly, "He is here too."

The golden-haired boy paid no attention to what he said and turned to look at the man.

"Hey, I really didn't expect you to come here with me today! Don't you usually stay in the academy and act so classy?"

"Go back."

"what?"

The blond boy was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in confusion: "Are you kidding me? I came here with you, and you want me to go back? Hey, you don't want to take all the credit! Although that woman didn't come here, that is the [Heart of Elements]! It should not be underestimated!"

The man did not directly answer the boy's question, but said something irrelevant:

"Your blood relative is here too, and I sensed him, he's here too, so he and I can take care of this [Elemental Heart]. So I think you can take over the [Heart] before that woman gets the next [Heart]. After all, we don't have the strength to fight her at all."

The boy made a pillow with his hands and rested his head on it.

"Come on, that woman has a sharper nose than a dog. It's just that this [heart] is hidden deep inside and she can't smell it. As for the other [hearts], leave them to [d-stfa]! I'm going back to the academy to play games."

After the boy finished speaking, he turned and left. The man did not stop him. He watched the boy leave and turned to look at the collapsed building.

"After all these years, are we going to meet here?"

"Halfdan."
