Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"I think I know why the system said there is no danger. It turns out that it has transferred me to Teyvat."

Jiang Ming smiled helplessly.

"Hmm... It seems that I can't use too much Honkai energy, but the elements that I have mastered before don't seem to have much effect... Lightning and ice elements?"

"...System, what time is it now?"

[Ying and Paimon are coming soon]

"..."

“It’s really concise and easy to understand.”

At this time, Jiang Ming discovered a more important problem.

"Tsk, I can't even use my weapons? Do you want me to open a treasure chest to get a bladeless sword?"

"system?"

【System in standby...】

"Fuck! If you can, give me my Genshin Impact account!"

【...】

[It is detected that the traveler will reach the Seven-Day Statue in 5 minutes. Please prepare yourself. 】

"...I think I can guess what the mission is."

Jiang Ming turned around helplessly and faced the Seven Heavens Statue.

Five minutes later, a voice came from behind Jiang Ming.

"Statues of gods are scattered across the continent, symbolizing the seven gods protecting the world. Among the seven elemental gods, the god of this country controls the wind. You see, that's... eh?"

Originally, Paimon wanted to introduce the Seven Heavens Statue to Ying, but saw a strange man with his back to them.

"Um... who are you?"

Paimon stepped forward to say hello.

"You are finally here, Miss or... Traveler, I have been waiting for a long time (5 minutes)."

Jiang Ming spoke slowly, giving people an unpredictable feeling, and it was indeed the case. Ying and Paimeng widened their eyes at this time.

"Waiting for a long time? Who are you?"

Compared to Paimon's surprise, Ying quickly calmed down. A stranger like this actually knew his current identity. He had just started his journey, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Haha, it doesn't matter who I am, what's important is you guys!"

Jiang Ming turned around and looked at Ying and Paimeng.

"Ah~! I really miss it."

Didn't I go through the same thing in the past? I used to be happy for a long time just by picking up a few eggs or defeating a few monsters, and I used Japanese to do it, but now...

"Nostalgia? Were you also a traveler before?"

Paimeng looked confused and was completely unguarded against Jiang Ming.

"Traveler? Haha, I guess so. About a year and a half. But I have given up traveling now due to some special reasons."

"That's it..."

"Um, my name is Paimon, and this is Ying."

Paimon noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little sad, and immediately changed the subject.

"Well, my name is Jiang Ming. I'm from... Liyue. I came to Mondstadt for some reasons."

"How did you know I was a traveler?"

Ying didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Yes! We didn't reveal our identities, how did you know?"

"Hehe, breath."

Jiang Ming said slowly.

"breath?"

"Well, you give me an air of being curious about everything around you, and also..."

Jiang Ming looked at Paimeng.

"I heard this little fellow from afar introducing you to this and that. He must be your guide."

"Hehe, that's right! No... I'm not some little guy! My name is Paimon!"

Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily.

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

"What does it mean to wait for a long time?"

"literal meaning."

Jiang Ming then put on a tearful look.

"When I saw you, it gave me hope again and I wanted to start traveling again."

"Oh, by the way, Paimon, were you introducing the Seven Heavenly Statue just now?"

Without giving Ying the chance to ask questions, Jiang Ming turned to ask Paimeng.

"Well! How about it, Ying, do you want to go and take a look?"

"Alright."

The two approached the Seven Heavenly God Statue, while Jiang Ming stood aside.

"How about touching it?"

Jiang Ming made a suggestion.

Ying placed her hand on the Seven Days Statue, and suddenly a green energy ball floated out of the Seven Days Statue and entered Ying's body.

"This is......"

"Yeah, are you sensing the elements of this world? It looks like you can gain the elemental power of wind just by touching the statue."

Looking at the wind surrounding Ying, Paimon explained.

"It is absolutely impossible for people in this world to gain power as easily as you do..."

"It's really evil."

"Evil, this word is so disrespectful to the gods."

Paimon corrected.

"Ah, Jiang Ming, do you have elemental power?"

Both of them looked at Jiang Ming.

"Well, I can control the ice element."

Jiang Ming condensed an ice cube in his hand.

"Wow, I'm so envious!"

"envious?"

"Yes, then the summer won't be so hot."

Is this what you care about?...

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Go west from here and you will reach the Free City-State [Mondstadt]. How about coming with me?"

Jiang Ming invited them.

"Um, okay."

Ying also nodded.

The three of them then headed towards the Whispering Forest.

But just as they were about to enter the forest, a large shadow suddenly appeared on the ground. At the same time, a dragon roar was heard from the sky. They looked up at the sky and found a huge dragon flying over their heads and entering the Whispering Forest.

"Then...what is that?!"

Paimon looked terrified.

"Go and see."

Jiang Ming led them into the forest, and soon they saw the giant dragon and a... um... boy, but what surprised Paimon even more was that they seemed to be talking about something.

"Don't worry, I'm back."

He seemed to be soothing the dragon.

“Wow, are they communicating?”

Paimon muttered while hiding behind a tree. Although his voice was very low, he was still discovered by the dragon.

The giant dragon that was about to be pacified suddenly became irritable, roared forward, and then flew away quickly.

The man also hurriedly chased after him.

"That was a close call. I was almost blown away! Fortunately, Jiang Ming, you caught me in time. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"There are actually dragons in this world..."

Ying couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At this time, Jiang Ming seemed to have discovered something and walked towards the big rock opposite.

"Jiang Ming, what's wrong with you? What is that?"

Ying and Paimeng came to Jiang Ming and found that Jiang Ming was holding a red crystal block that looked a bit like a water droplet.

"Be careful! It gives me a...bad feeling."

"I've never seen a stone like this before. I have no idea what it is, but it looks very dangerous."

"I think this should be a relatively important item. Paimon, how about you keep it for me? I'll treat you to a delicious meal later."

Jiang Ming handed the stone to Paimeng.

"okay."

After thinking it over, Paimon accepted the stone and put it in his (oversized) backpack.

Although I think this thing is very dangerous, but since it appeared in the place where the dragon had been before, it means that it is indeed very important. Besides, if not for anything else, I must accept it just for the delicious food!

"Just keep going."

"Ok!"

......................................................

After walking for a while, they finally walked out of the forest, but at this time a graceful girl appeared and blocked their way.

"May the wind god protect you, stranger! I am the scout knight of the Knights of Favonius, Amber. You are not citizens of Mondstadt, are you? Then please state your identities!"

In order to speed up the plot, Jiang Ming decided to tell the story himself.

"Hello, we are travelers. My name is Jiang Ming, from Liyue, and this is Ying and Paimon."

"I see. There have been giant dragons around Mondstadt recently. It would be best if you could get into the city as soon as possible. This place is not far from Mondstadt, so I, as a knight, will escort you there."

Amber patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me."

[Ding! Issue the mission, enter Mondstadt]

[Reward: Elemental Sensing (Elemental Vision)]

The three of them headed to Mondstadt under the leadership of Amber.

"Hey, what are you doing in Mond?"

As a Knight of Favonius, Amber felt that she needed to inquire about the purpose of the outsiders.

“I’m just traveling now.”

Jiang Ming gave Amber a harmless smile.

Paimon explained on behalf of Ying.

"Ying got separated from her brother during a very, very long journey. I am her travel companion, and I am accompanying her in her search for her brother."

"Oh, go find your family..."

Amber seemed to recall something sad, but she quickly cheered up.

"By the way! Once I finish the task at hand, I can help you post notices in the city."

Is that notice really useful?

"Speaking of which, what is the mission?"

"It's very simple. You will understand it when you see it later."

The four of them arrived at a camp.

"That's... a Hilichul?!"

"Yes! Don't let them run away!"

Amber immediately bent his bow and drew his arrow, and the arrow, with flames appearing on it, shot towards the Hilliard.

"Wind Blade!"

The strong wind quickly spread the flames on the hillbillies, instantly burning the two hillbillies to ashes.

"Jiang Ming, behind!"

Paimon reminded them from the side that a Hillichul man took advantage of their inattention and went behind Jiang Ming.

Just as the Hillilch man raised the wooden stick in his hand to hit Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming quickly dodged sideways and grabbed the Hillilch man's wrist with his left hand and broke it directly.

"ya——!"

The hillock man let go of the stick in his hand in pain, and Jiang Ming caught the stick with his right hand and hit the hillock man hard on the back of his head. Then the hillock man fell to the ground silently and lost consciousness, and the stick was broken.

Jiang Ming stretched out his index finger and middle finger again, condensed two ice swords in the air, and pierced through two Hillilians who were standing on a high platform not far away and were about to fire crossbows.

"Wow! Jiang Ming, you are so awesome!"

Paimon flew to Jiang Ming.

"what?"

Jiang Ming was confused and didn't understand why Paimeng suddenly wanted to praise him.

"You killed the Hillilchur in just two moves, unlike me, who only has the strength of half a wild boar."

"..."

"hehe."

Jiang Ming chuckled twice and put his hand on Paimeng's little head.

"Paimon, you don't have to fight. I and everyone else will protect you."

"Woo, you spoil me so much!"

Paimon's eyes suddenly filled with tears when he heard this.

Hill people...Kerria...

To put it bluntly, they are now a group of savages, moving slowly and without any fighting skills. It is of course easy to deal with them, but I don't know if I can defeat the Hilliard King in terms of physique now.

[With the Dragon King Holy Body, it is naturally easy]

......All right.

"Speaking of..."

Paimon holds his head with his right hand, looking like he is thinking seriously.

"Why are the Hillichuls here? They normally wouldn't set up camp so close to a city, right?"

"Yes, they should have been wandering in the wilderness, but recently wind dragons have appeared frequently, orchards have been destroyed, and trade routes have also been affected. We, the Knights of Favonius, have no choice but to conduct regular inspections. Now that the mission has been completed, let's hurry to Mondstadt."

Shortly after.

Jiang Ming and three others stood at the huge city gate.

"Ahem, please allow me to formally introduce you to the pastoral city of wind and dandelions, the city of freedom. Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonius, welcome to Mondstadt!"

[Ding! The host has completed the task and the reward has been issued]

Jiang Ming looked at Ying and Paimeng.

"Then let's say goodbye here, both of you. Don't worry, I won't forget the delicious food I promised you."

After saying that, Jiang Ming walked into Mond City without looking back.

Great, finally I don't have to go through the plot, I have to have some fun. No... I don't have Mora!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming walked towards Catherine helplessly.
