Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

After much thought, Nan Dou decided to visit Morax first to learn about the recent changes in Liyue.

Morax was easy to find. Nandou wandered around Liyue Harbor and found Zhongli in a teahouse, where he was walking his bird, drinking tea and watching a show.

"Waiter, add a pot of the best fragrant tea."

"Okay, sir."

Nandou naturally sat opposite Zhongli.

Zhongli, who was watching the show, retracted his gaze and said to Nan Dou: "It's been a long time since we last met. You have become even more mysterious."

After retirement, Morax completely integrated into the identity of Zhongli, or rather, he had already gotten used to it and even enjoyed his current life.

But Nandou would never forget that the person sitting opposite him was the Rock Demon Morax who had once killed all enemies in the Demon War.

Nandou was slightly surprised to be evaluated like this by Morax, but then he thought about it and realized that he had gained the power in the world of Bengtie, which was higher than Teyvat.

Nandou smiled slightly and asked back, "I've been away for a while. I wonder if there have been any changes in Liyue Harbor?"

Zhongli calmly drank a sip of tea and said, "The sea may be a bit uneasy recently. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

Nan Dou immediately understood that it was Osel's wife Ba Che who was coming to seek revenge on Liyue Harbor.

A weakling - Nan Dou gave his evaluation.

Nan Dou blessed the affection for the couple of Otar and the post, but it should still be beaten.

After all, Nan Dou's position is on the side of mankind, and demons and the like should have been buried in the dust of history long ago.

Nan Dou didn't care at the moment, and like an old man, he perfectly integrated into Morax's leisure rhythm.

During the day, Nan Dou followed Morax to watch plays, walk the birds, and listen to crosstalk. In the evening, they also made an appointment to have dinner at Wanmin Hall.

In fact, in the later period of fate's intervention, Nan Dou's daily life was almost like this. After work every day, he would go out for a walk, drink tea and listen to music, just like a retired old man.

When Hu Tao came back in the evening and heard from Nan Dou about his day's itinerary, she was very surprised.

After all, Nan Dou still looks like a young man in his twenties, but his mentality is as calm as an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

"By the way, Kurumi, I'm planning on visiting Inazuma soon, do you want to come with me?"

Nan Dou suddenly spoke up, shocking Kurumi.

But Hu Tao immediately realized that this was a chance to be alone with her brother, and nodded immediately: "Go, go, go!!!"

That was not enough for him. He immediately rushed out the door, shouting as he ran: "I'll go arrange some work!"

Nan Dou looked at Hu Tao's quickly disappearing back and couldn't help but laugh helplessly: "I still spend too little time with her."

After experiencing the last interference of fate, Nan Dou's mentality has changed a little.

Soon, Walnut came back.

"Brother, I have arranged all my work for the near future, so I can spare some time to hang out with you then!"

"Will it be very hard for Walnut?"

Nandou asked, touching Kurumi's head with some concern.

"Hmm~"

Feeling Nan Dou's warm palm, Hu Tao hummed twice with satisfaction, and replied contentedly: "It's okay, it's okay. I have to work sooner or later anyway."

"As long as I can be with my brother, everything is fine..."

Seeing that Hu Tao was so easily satisfied, Nan Dou felt very ashamed. He still remembered that when he left, he told Hu Tao that he would bring her a gift when he returned, but now he had nothing prepared.

Nan Dou couldn't sleep at night, so he climbed onto the roof as usual, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky spreading on the earth. Everything was so peaceful and harmonious.

Nan Dou stretched out his hand, a green light lit up at his fingertips, and with a point of his finger, extremely rich life energy fell on the tree in his yard.

In an instant, the already lush and green trees sprouted new buds, the bark that bore traces of time fell off piece by piece, and new bark grew out.

The power system of Teyvat is different from that of the Star Iron World, and the power of destiny is very different from the elemental power.

At least elemental power cannot have a healing effect on non-living things.

But the Seed of Hope can absorb the power of both worlds to grow, and can have an effect on both worlds.

The power of the Seed of Hope is very vague. It is not a pure healing ability, but more like a universal energy source.

In the Star Iron World, the Seed of Hope can strengthen and fill the power of destiny.

In the world of Genshin Impact, it is a higher-level power that includes the seven elements.

You can use the seven elements at will, and together they form a new pure white element, which Nan Dou casually named the [Holy] Element.

Nan Dou has only been back for a short time, and has not yet tested the effect of the Holy Element, but one thing is known: the Holy Element is a power that requires certain conditions to take effect.

Nandou had tried applying the holy element to himself, monsters, plants and animals, but there was no reaction at all.

Another point is that Nandou feels that the Holy Element still has room to grow, and this is not its final form.

All in all, Nandou, with the power of the Seed of Hope, possesses extremely powerful healing abilities and is eligible to use the seven elements at will.

After the Seed of Hope grew, Nan Dou became able to transform his body as he pleased.

Nandou can even transform himself into a big bird like Yuyu.

Moreover, there are no negative side effects like before.

"Tsk, the more I look at it, the more he looks like the Envoy of the Order of Plenty."

Nan Dou complained and closed his eyes. He already had an idea about the gift for Walnut.

The next morning, Nan Dou had breakfast with Hu Tao, then left the Hall of Rebirth and came to the blacksmith shop in Liyue Harbor.

[Hanfeng Ironware] is a century-old brand in Liyue. It has won people's favor with its virtue and craftsmanship. The owner, Han Zhang, is affectionately called Lao Zhang by people.

As long as the money is in place, the quality of the equipment is guaranteed, but other than that, he does not allow outsiders to interfere.

Nan Dou came here this time to use the tools in the blacksmith shop to make a small gadget.

Although Nan Dou was not very familiar with Lao Zhang, when he took out the seven-star identity symbol, Lao Zhang still gave him face.

After all, those who can open a blacksmith shop in Liyue must have some connection with the Seven Stars of Liyue. Otherwise, if they make weapons privately... hehe.

Speaking of it, the [Hanfeng Ironware] blacksmith shop has some connection with Nandou. The Black Rock Blade in Beidou's hand was actually forged by Lao Zhang's father Hanwu with his life.

After saying hello to Lao Zhang, Nan Dou started fiddling with the things in the blacksmith shop.

Although Lao Zhang pretended not to care, he couldn't help but keep glancing at Nan Dou.

After all, in all these years, Lao Zhang has never seen a second person who came to the blacksmith shop and chose to do it himself instead of letting him do it.

At the same time, Lao Zhang was still feeling resentful and wanted to see what Nan Dou was capable of.

Then Lao Zhang saw Nan Dou take out a pile of materials he had never seen before. He didn't even use the fire in the blacksmith shop, but used his own fire element to melt the materials.

The subsequent forging process made him dumbfounded: "No, buddy, you can forge like this."

Until the evening when Nan Dou left with the finished forging product, Lao Zhang still looked doubtful about his life.

Nan Dou's one day of operation completely overturned his decades of understanding of forging.

Nan Dou naturally noticed Lao Zhang's peeping at him, but he didn't care.

He can proudly say that his craftsmanship is almost impossible to replicate in the entire Teyvat.

In the Star Iron World, even Huai Yan, the chief forging master on the Zhu Ming Xian Zhou, one of the top forging holy places, cannot learn the art of life forging.

As for Old Zhang, well, it’s not that Nan Dou looks down on him, but he will never be able to learn it in his next life.

It was only today when Nan Dou went to Lao Zhang's forging shop that he realized that Teyvat's forging technology was really far behind.

In this respect, Liyue is not much different from Inazuma.

On the way home, Nan Dou unexpectedly met Xiangling.

"Oh, it's Nandou brother, you're back. Hu Tao was talking about your name every day."

Xiangling was carrying a bag and holding a piece of rice crust, looking like she had just returned from a trip.

Nandou smelled the salty sea breeze from Xiangling and immediately thought that she was from Beidou's boat.

"I came back two days ago. By the way, Xiangling, has the Southern Cross Fleet returned to port?"

Xiangling blinked and replied, "Yes, Big Sister Beidou sent me back and said that something big was going to happen soon and asked me to be careful in Liyue Harbor."

"That's it..."

After talking with Xiangling for a while, Nan Dou waved goodbye to her happily.

On the way home, Nan Dou couldn't hide the smug smile on his face. This time he finally had a gift for Hu Tao.

Nan Dou was playing with a small, delicate, lifelike little lion in his hand.

This is the result of Nan Dou’s hard work today.

Originally, Nan Dou wanted to make a plum blossom hairpin, but he remembered that Hu Tao liked to wear a hat and her hair was mostly loose, so he changed his mind and made it in the shape of a little lion.

Besides, walnuts and lions are not without connection.

When Nan Dou returned to Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao had just finished a day's work.

As soon as Hu Tao entered the room, she saw the little lion that Nan Dou had placed on the table. She immediately picked it up out of curiosity and looked at it in front of her eyes.

Soon, Walnut realized the little lion's extraordinaryness.

Subconsciously, a flame rose at Kurumi's fingertips.

In an instant, the little lion seemed to come alive and swallowed the flames on Walnut's fingertips.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound was heard, and in Walnut's surprised eyes, the little lion's body expanded rapidly like a balloon, and in the blink of an eye it became the size of a real lion.

I don't know what material the body is made of. After being activated, its flowing and smooth hair flutters in the wind, and its pair of imposing big eyes are bright and spirited.

“The little lion model turned into a real lion?!!!”

Kurumi's eyes widened and she shouted in disbelief.

"Roar!"

Not only that, the lion raised its neck and let out a powerful roar.

This was a loud noise, and it immediately alarmed the entire Wangsheng Hall, and everyone rushed into Hu Tao's yard.

With such a loud noise, anyone would think that some monster had attacked the Wangsheng Hall, not to mention that it came from the courtyard where the master of the Wangsheng Hall lived.

In the current Wangsheng Hall, most of the people have watched Hu Tao grow up since childhood. The head of the Wangsheng Hall in front of outsiders is more like their own child in front of them.

Who wouldn't be anxious when their own child is in danger?

For a moment, the entire Hall of Rebirth was in chaos, and everyone used all their strength to carry the coffin and rushed towards Hu Tao's yard.

then……

A few minutes later, Hu Tao looked at the yard full of funeral directors and guests, and glanced at Nan Dou who looked as if it was none of his business.

He scratched his head embarrassedly and stepped forward to explain.

But Walnut soon found her previous feeling and was not nervous at all, but it still took her a lot of effort to get everyone away.

As he walked away, his eyes were fixed on the lion, which was lying quietly on the ground in a coiled position, for fear that it would suddenly go crazy.

“Huh…” Hu Tao looked at Nan Dou angrily: “Brother, it’s all your fault.”

Nan Dou looked apologetic and raised his hands, "My...my, I forgot this guy loves to show off."

"I think it comes from you." Walnut said unhappily.

"Forehead……"

Nan Dou was speechless. In fact, it really had something to do with him. After all, it was created by him, and the character would be influenced by him to some extent.

After everyone left, Nandou finally had the chance to explain the role of the lion to Hu Tao.

The essence of this lion is actually not much different from the [Eternal Life] that Nan Dou gave to Bai Heng. The difference is that the world is different, the materials are different, and the form of expression is different.

"Walnut, give it a name."

Nandou reached out and stroked the lion's soft fur, and spoke to Kurumi encouragingly.

Walnut looked at the silky white fur on the lion and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He pointed at the lion and said, "Let's call it Baiyun."

"It is the white cloud, who is the black soil?" Nan Dou said subconsciously.

"Black soil? What black soil?"

Walnut asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"Ahem, it's okay. I was thinking that since I made a white lion named Baiyun, should I also make a black lion named Heitu?"

Nandou explained casually, but Kurumi still didn't understand: "Why is it called Black Soil instead of Dark Cloud?"

This left Nan Dou completely speechless. How should he explain to Hu Tao this joke that only people on Earth knew?

Nan Dou Suo Xing didn't explain and changed the subject directly.

"Baiyun has bound your elemental power. From now on, only you can use it. Now try to let her attach herself to you."

Hu Tao nodded and waved to Bai Yun.

Baiyun lazily stood up from the ground, shook his head, and took two big steps and leaped towards Hutao.

Being pounced upon by a giant lion that was over two meters tall when standing upright, the strong visual impact made Walnut subconsciously dodge.

But when Bai Yun jumped into the air, his body began to emit a bright white light, and when he approached Hu Tao, he turned into a white light and merged into her body.

The next moment, a full-coverage heavy armor was wrapped around Walnut's body, making him look like a heavily armored warrior.

"Forehead……"

Nan Dou scratched his head, the scene before him causing his CPU to overheat briefly.

"Hee hee hee……"

As Walnut laughed, the heavy armor changed again, and a silver-white light armor similar to a tights appeared, covering Walnut's entire body.

In fact, what kind of clothes Baiyun will appear on Hu Tao depends entirely on Hu Tao's own wishes.

But whether it is heavy armor or light armor, the defense is the same, just like the defense of the costumes in the game has nothing to do with how much you wear.

This is Baiyun’s second form. The first form is the lion form that has a certain intelligence and completely obeys Walnut’s orders.

Baiyun's defense and attack power are roughly equivalent to four-and-a-half-star weapons or armor, and the material that makes up its body is enough to be immune to most elemental forces.

In other words, most of the owners of the Eye of God in Teyvat are not necessarily a match for Baiyun.

In this way, Nan Dou was completely relieved about Hu Tao's safety.

"I like the gift my brother gave me very much."

Kurumi happily said while grabbing Nandou's hand.

“That’s great…”

PS: I wish all my brothers and sisters who are taking the college entrance examination to perform exceptionally well and be admitted to the university of their choice!
