Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

Latio: “…”

This time it was our professor's turn to be speechless. He covered his face with his hands in pain, then waved at the gold sand, signaling him to move aside.

"Hmm? Professor, do you have any solution?"

Shajin obediently made way for Latio, stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, and watched Latio's movements with interest.

"I really suspect that the Stone Company is short-handed, otherwise why would they let you become a member of the 'Stone Heart Ten'."

Latio said this in a mocking tone, then came to where Shajin was just now, and pressed down on a seemingly inconspicuous bulge on the door.

As Radiou moved, the button-shaped protrusion collapsed.

"Buzz! "

A blue light swept across Latio and Gold Sand, followed by a mechanical sound.

'Querying visitor information...Query completed!'

"Interstellar Peace Company employee 'Gold Dust' is allowed to pass."

'squeak--!'

As the mechanical sound fell, the door of Chaolu Mansion, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened, and a wide and bright road appeared in front of the two.

"Professor, you are amazing! You are worthy of being a member of the Knowledge Society!"

"No need for compliments. I still say the same thing. Finish it sooner so I can go back earlier."

Doctor Latio of Truth has become somewhat immune to the talkative guy Shajin. Now he just wants to go back quickly. Every time he breathes the same air with this guy for one second, he feels as if millions of ants are crawling on his body.

"Of course, I won't let you down, Professor."

Sha Jin smiled confidently, then walked into Chaolu Mansion. Faced with Sha Jin's overconfidence, Latio just shook his head helplessly, sighed, and followed him.

"This is... the road ahead seems blocked." Shajin frowned and looked at the road in front of him. He seemed to be missing something, so that Shajin and Latio could not go directly to meet Sunday.

"It seems that this is the test that the patriarch left for us. Before we officially meet, he wants to observe whether we are qualified to negotiate with him."

Latio crossed his arms, stared at the closed door in front of him, and calmly speculated and explored with the eyes of a scholar.

"Hahaha, do you want us to prove that we are worthy of negotiating with him? Interesting, then we might as well play with him for a while."

As he said this, Shajin's eyes began to patrol the hall. After a while, his gaze finally fell on the huge statues of Shajin on both sides of the road.

"The location of the statue... I guess this should be the key to solving the puzzle, right?"

Sha Jin smiled lightly, and Latio also thought of something. The two of them finally set their sights on the walls on both sides of the road, or to be more precise, on a huge painting on the wall.

"What a strange painting. Is that the Annihilation Eagle?" Looking carefully at the painting in front of him, Sha Jin made such a nonsensical guess.

In response, Latio covered his face.

"Among the five great families, there is only the Hermit Night Thrush. The one in the painting must be the Hermit Night Thrush without a doubt."

"Really? But is there such a big night thrush? I still think it looks like a ..."

"Stop! Stop asking these boring questions. Just take what you say it is."

Latio didn't want to argue with Sha Jin anymore. Wasting time on such unnecessary things was a pure blasphemy against life.

Seeing that Latio stopped arguing, Shajin didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

"So it seems that if we just arrange the stone statues on both sides of the road like in the painting, we can solve the puzzle?"

"Well, you could say that."

After getting the professor's approval, Sha Jin came to the statues of the Night Thrushes and readjusted their positions according to the directions in the painting.

"Ka-ka-ka...!"

Along with the sound of gears turning, the door that was originally closed slowly opened from the inside out.

"Success."

When the two walked in, the first thing that caught their eyes was a huge hall. From top to bottom, the hall was divided into two floors, similar to a pavilion for watching a play.

In the center of the hall, there stood a huge sand table quietly, surrounded by red blankets that led all the way to another door of the hall.

"Huh? This place looks really grand. It seems that our Lord Oak Family has no intention of establishing a noble image for himself. You know, in politics, this kind of image still has a certain effect."

From the perspective of universal reason, what Sha Jin just said was indeed correct, but what he didn't know was that everyone in the entire Oak family was actually Sunday's people, or people of [Order].

The authority of [Order] is, in a sense, similar to the 'Rule of a Thousand' of people of Sanbengzi next door. They are one and the same, so there has never been any talk of 'usurpation of the throne'. This is the key point that Sunday can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"It's a meaningless question. Our goal is [death]. The family must know something. Let's not waste time."

"Okay, I'll listen to the professor." Sha Jin shrugged.

The two walked down the stairs and came to the huge sand table in the center of the hall from the viewing point on the second floor.

"Let me see what this is... um, the large model of the Golden Moment base. Haha, looking down at the sand table here every day, on Sunday he really thinks of himself as the giant of Pinocchio." Shajin sneered.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's find a way to open the door first." After searching the sand table, Latio's eyes finally stopped at a huge gap.

"It looks like this is the place. We need to find this key."

Latio pointed at the gap in the sand table and said.

"That's easy, Professor. It's time to use your genius brain again."

After some trouble, Shajin and Latio finally found the missing piece of the puzzle on the model. After a simple assembly and reset, a facility similar to a space gate appeared in front of them.

"I'll try."

Sha Jin stretched out his hand towards the 'space gate', and suddenly, a powerful suction force came and sucked Sha Jin's body in. When he came to his senses, he found himself in the large model of the base, and his body was also reduced by tens of millions of times in proportion.
