Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"Towards the stars and the abyss, Mr. Jiang Ming, this is your adventure certificate, please keep it."

Catherine handed a booklet to Jiang Ming.

Yes, because he doesn’t have any Mora on him, the only thing Jiang Ming can think of at the moment is to become an adventurer and take on commissions in exchange for rewards.

"System, is the main body's injury still not healed?"

Even if he has the financial strength, he can't do this. This is a pure capital enterprise. If it weren't for the current Fengmolong crisis, there would be so many people who need help. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to afford a few days' worth of food.

【No】

An emotionless voice sounded in my mind.

"Oh, I want to go back so much. I miss Mei so much. Do you eat well at home? Do you miss me when I'm not around?"

【...】

[Ding! Task released: Please resolve the Wind Dragon crisis]

[Reward: The Dragon King's Holy Body has made some progress, and the main body's injuries have recovered quickly]

"Hehe, system, I know you understand me."

Jiang Ming looked up at the gloomy sky, and the powerful perception given to him by the Dragon Emperor's Holy Body told him that the Wind Demon Dragon was coming!

Roar! ! !

A loud and angry dragon roar broke the lifeless atmosphere in the city. The violent wind swept everything in the city, and the citizens began to head to a safe place under the command of the Knights.

The Traveler is already controlling the Wings of Wind to confront the Wind Dragon.

Jiang Ming, who originally wanted to quietly watch the traveler repel the Wind Dragon, suddenly saw a familiar face - Noel, the most reliable maid of the Knights of Favonius.

She was trying her best to evacuate the citizens and help them out of danger, but such a kind girl did not pay attention to her own safety - a huge rock was falling directly in Noel's direction, but she did not notice it at all.

"Tsk, thunder explosion!"

Jiang Ming condensed a thunder ball in his hand and threw it at the boulder.

"boom!!!"

The boulder shattered instantly, and Jiang Ming flashed to Noelle's side and picked her up in a princess hug, avoiding the rubble caused by the explosion.

Hiss~ It's a bit heavy, probably because of the armor...

"Um, sir, can you put me down?"

Noelle was held in Jiang Ming's arms like this, her cheeks flushed lightly, her whole body froze, and she didn't know where to put her two bare hands.

"Sorry, miss, this is an emergency. Please forgive my impulsiveness."

Jiang Ming gently put Noel down and expressed his apologies immediately.

"No...it's okay. I should be the one thanking you."

Noelle said shyly while looking at the gravel beside her. It seemed that this was the first time she had been hugged like that since she was a child.

"Ding! An event has been detected, start options."

[Choice 1: Let Noelle go to evacuate as well (of course she won’t listen)]

[Reward: 10 Mora]

[Choice 2: Tell Noelle to protect herself while protecting others]

[Reward: Super Heavy Sword Charge]

[Choice 3: Say in an ambiguous tone: "It is my duty to protect a lovely lady like you"]

[Reward: 50 Mora]

......

"Well, as a knight you have to protect yourself as well as others."

Unexpectedly, Noelle waved his hand quickly after hearing this.

"No, I'm... not a knight yet."

Jiang Ming smiled gently.

"Is that so... It's okay, because it's my duty to protect a lovely lady like you."

"Eh?!"

Noelle's ears turned slightly red and his heartbeat suddenly quickened. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever spoken to him like this, let alone someone as handsome as Jiang Ming.

"It's a bit dangerous here, why don't you take shelter there too, Miss?"

Jiang Ming seemed to have thought of something and suggested it to Noel.

【? 】

"no!"

Noelle, who was a little shy at first, suddenly became tough.

"Although I'm not a knight, I'm still a reserve knight. It's my duty to protect and help everyone!"

"Okay, okay, how about I help you?"

"That won't work! Sir, you have to seek shelter as well!"

"..."

So stubborn...

"Okay, okay, I'll go take shelter, right now."

Jiang Ming had no choice but to leave and head for the so-called safer place. When he saw that Noelle did not follow him, he looked at the Wind Dragon in the sky again.

"Troublesome guy, let me give you a warning."

Jiang Ming condensed several larger ice pillars and shot them at the Wind Dragon.

Bang bang bang!

It hit the wind dragon right in the abdomen.

"Roar!!!"

The Wind Dragon felt pain, but still did not leave.

"Huh? Still quite stubborn, seven arrows to the head!"

A black straw man appeared in the air, and seven needles appeared and stabbed the straw man at the same time.

“Hohohoho————!!!”

The Wind Dragon suddenly let out an extremely miserable sound and flew away quickly without looking back.

"System, rewards! I want all three!"

【...】

[Shameless, even black-hearted companies are not as black-hearted as you]

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether I have a complete choice or not."

【...】

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

Looking at the extra 60 Mora in the system backpack, Jiang Ming's mouth curled up slightly. Finally, he didn't have to work as a worker anymore.

Jiang Ming looked at the super heavy sword Charge again, and he was surprised to find that it could be used. Then why couldn’t the others be used?

"what happened?"

[That's because you, the host, wanted to use them to control Honkai energy at first, but Honkai energy cannot be used in this world, so naturally you can't use the Eight Desolate Swords. If you want to use them, you can only control them with elemental power.]

"Why don't you say anything?"

[You didn't ask]

"..."

Jiang Ming tried it, and sure enough, he could take it out by operating it with elemental power, but some powers of the Key of God were still unusable. However, even so, any weapon in Jiang Ming's backpack was much better than some of the five-star weapons here.

As for the super heavy sword Charge, I will give it to Noelle sometime.

Ying and the others should already be in the Knights of Favonius. When they go to defeat the Wind Dragon, you can help them.

The most important thing now is to enjoy, enjoy!

[Ding! Issue a mission. Steal the Sky Harp in advance while we are short of manpower.]

[Reward: Wind Element Control]

"..."

"Isn't this tempting me to commit a crime? How could a righteous person like me do such a shameful thing? Miss Barbara will be sad!"

Jiang Ming said righteously.

[Add 100,000 Mora]

Two seconds later.

"This is the West Wind Cathedral."

Jiang Ming used the breath-invisibility technique to conceal his breath and figure and entered the West Wind Cathedral very smoothly.

"I remember the Skyharp was in the deepest part of the basement."

Ignoring the nun beside him, Jiang Ming went straight to the deepest part of the basement of West Wind Cathedral.

Remove the invisibility spell.

Jiang Ming had already seen the Sky Harp. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, a Thunder Firefly Warlock suddenly appeared and took the Sky Harp away before Jiang Ming.

She even put her index finger on her lips teasingly to signal Jiang Ming not to make a sound, and then disappeared, leaving behind only a momentary flash of lightning.

“Hehehehe——”

Jiang Ming lowered his head and sneered continuously.

"Hehe, you better not get caught by me."

Then a golden light flashed, and Jiang Ming disappeared from the spot.

Following the remaining lightning elements of the Firefly Warlock, Jiang Ming came to a hidden place, which should be the hiding place of the Fatui.

Looking at the two Fatui guarding the gate in front of him, Jiang Ming knocked them down with Seven Arrows and walked in with a swagger.

"Who are you? Why are you here?!"

A thunder hammer appeared in front of Jiang Ming and questioned him.

"Huh? You can find this? You are quite alert. Never mind. As long as I kill all of you, no one should be able to find out that I sneaked in, right?"

Jiang Ming did not answer his question. Instead, he put one hand on his chin and muttered.

"go to hell!!"

Seeing that the invader seemed to have ill intentions, Lei Chui took the lead, rushed to Jiang Ming and smashed him with a hammer, but he didn't expect that Jiang Ming would take on this powerful blow with just one hand.

"what?!"

"Well... my opinion is that it's not as hard as Fu Hua's fist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ming kicked Lei Chui on the calf. Lei Chui half-knelt on the ground in pain, and then Jiang Ming electrocuted him and knocked him unconscious.

Jiang Ming knocked out all the Fatui he encountered one by one without killing them. However, Jiang Ming sometimes couldn't control the strength of lightning, sometimes high and sometimes low. When it was low, he didn't faint, but when it was high, he could even smell a burnt smell. Whether they could survive was up to them.

"Aa ...

A timid guard was so frightened when he saw another of his companions fall down that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Jiang Ming gave a kinder smile.

"You...are human? An entire layer of defense was breached. I thought it was a monster from the Abyss Cult that attacked."

"..."

In fact, you might as well pray it’s the Cult of the Abyss.

"Where is the Skyharp?"

Jiang Ming didn't want to waste time talking to him anymore.

"You, how do you know the Sky Harp is here... The place where the holy relic is stored is locked. If you want to find the key, you should go forward, don't look for me!"

"..."

"You'd better take care of yourself. We Fatui are in Mondstadt... but we have the Executioner to keep us safe!"

Miss:?

"My lady will find you and hang you up to torture you. Don't let me be implicated by that!"

"..."

You're forcing me to go through the storyline, right? You deserve a beating!

Snapped!

Jiang Ming slapped the guard unconscious with a big blow.

Another moment passed.

"It looks like this is the main gate."

Directly demolish it with violence.

"Haha, I finally did something I wanted to do but couldn't do before."

Got the Sky Harp.

"Are you ready to die?"

A cold voice came from behind Jiang Ming.

"Ok?"

Jiang Ming turned around and found a debt handler standing in front of him.

"You dared to break into our hideout alone. You are quite courageous, but that's all. I will strangle you here on behalf of the Executor. Be prepared to repay your debt!"

The debt collector summoned three daggers around him and then disappeared on the spot.

Jiang Ming also decided to give him face and took out the Hanyu Bingtian that he had not used for a long time. At the same time, he disappeared from the spot.

"what?!"
