Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

The traveler team returned to the city to hand in the mission. Catherine smiled and said: "Towards the stars and the abyss..."

Subi made a "pause" gesture and said, "Skip it, settle the account."

I don't like to hear repeated polite words, so stop talking.

“······Okay.” Catherine nodded as usual, took the spoils submitted by the girl, updated the task as completed, and settled the reward into the traveler team account.

"······I always feel that Catherine has been wiped out by Su Tiao." Paimeng didn't dare to complain loudly, for fear of being caught by Su and being beaten up by her.

"There is a new commission, and the person who issued the task strongly requests that your team accept it." Catherine took out a task list and handed it to the girl.

Lao Dai, a foreman in Huishan Hall in Liyue Harbor who is in charge of mining, asks senior elite adventurers to help find several missing workers.

"A mission to find someone?" Paimon and Kong also saw the mission requirements clearly.

"Ah, the person who issued the task is here." Catherine reminded.

The team of travelers turned around and saw a muscular middle-aged man coming towards them with a complex expression of mixed anxiety and joy.

"It's the famous Traveler Team!" Old Dai was pleasantly surprised. "Lord Yan, with your help, the missing workers are saved!"

Old Dai kept praising the travelers for their strength and reliability, saying that with them around, the missing workers would definitely be able to return home safely.

Seeing how Old Dai praised them, the Traveler Team looked at each other, then turned to face Catherine with great pride, "We, the Traveler Team, will accept this mission!"

Old Dai couldn't help thanking him, and then he said that the accident happened in a dangerous mining area, and the incident itself was a bit bizarre. In order to add an extra layer of safety for everyone, he invited an expert who was very proficient in this field.

"With such an expert here, your safety will definitely be guaranteed. If you ask me, he is definitely the person who knows the most about stones in the world!"

Old Dai thought that the young man might be able to hear the stones talking!

Not only did they invite the best team of adventurers, but they also proactively provided security experts?

Kong and Su looked at each other and began to think that this task might be a bit tricky.

Paimon was dissatisfied, "The person who knows stones best in the world must be our friend!" No one knows stones better than Zhongli! She said! "Wait! We will bring him here now!"

Paimeng remembered that when they ran past the teahouse just now, they saw a familiar figure sitting there listening to a book!

In the teahouse, the handsome young man was drinking tea while listening to Tian Tiezui's storytelling. His leisurely look made the group of travelers who were working around the clock jealous.

"We found you! Zhongli." The team of travelers sat down around Zhongli.

"Hmm?" Zhongli smiled and greeted everyone, "You guys are in a good mood. Are you here to listen to storytelling?"

"No, no, no, we're here to find you." Paimon explained the whole story, put his hands on his hips and said, "Looking at the entire continent, is there anyone who knows this better than you?"

"Old Dai said he found the person who knows the most about stones in the world. I want to prove to him that you are the one who knows the most about these things!"

Zhongli laughed: "Where does this unreasonable desire to compare come from?"

If it was during the Demon God War, he was young and energetic and had a bit of a bad temper. Now he is cultivating himself and has never shown any competitive spirit in front of his friends.

“It’s not a competition!” Paimon thinks that Lao Dai doesn’t know anything, and his friends are the best! “I just... want him to see it for himself...”

"I heard that the workers' disappearance is a bit strange. Old Dai said there was a landslide nearby." Su chimed in. They needed stronger security support.

Are you really not going to help me, my friend with a super thick shield?

Zhongli smiled tolerantly, "In that case, I will go with you."

"Really?!" Paimon was surprised.

"Learning is endless, it would be good to go out and gain some knowledge." Zhongli also had a plan in mind, "Firstly, you can feel more at ease when you enter the mining area if I am here. Secondly, if there are any experts, I can also learn from them."

"Thank you, Zhongli!" Paimeng realized that Zhongli was most concerned about their safety, so he thanked him sincerely, "Then let's go now~"

The Traveler Team brought Zhongli back to Lao Dai and solemnly introduced their own expert to him.

"Our friend is the one who knows the most about minerals and geology in the world!" Paimon and Su threw flowers behind Zhongli to boost his support.

"Thank you for the compliment. I just have some experience." Zhongli plucked a colorful flower that flew to his shoulder and greeted Lao Dai modestly.

Old Dai looked at the young man in front of him with a noble appearance and extraordinary bearing. He had heard of this erudite guest scholar of the Wangsheng Hall, but, "Anyway, from a professional point of view, the one I find will definitely not lose!" Old Dai, who has worked in the mining industry for decades, has great confidence in his own vision.

A young man wearing glasses and looking a little confused walked over hesitantly.

"Oh, you came just in time!" Old Dai smiled and pulled the young man over to introduce him to everyone: "This is the helper I found, Kunjun!"

"Xiao Kun, these are the best team from the Adventurer's Association that I have invited with great difficulty! And this is Mr. Zhongli, a guest of the Wangsheng Hall. He is a famous person with great knowledge and talent. This is the first time I have met him today."

The young man called Kunjun by Old Dai stared at Zhongli in thought, "... he looks familiar, but I've never been to the Hall of the Rebirth."

"Brother Kun, are you an appraiser?" Zhongli seemed to have a liking for this young man and took the initiative to greet him.

“No…” Kunjun himself was confused about his own identity, “Actually… Actually, I forgot what I did in Liyue.”

Kunjun is a person with amnesia.

A few days ago, he was standing on the roadside when he was suddenly stopped by Lao Dai. After chatting with him for a few words, Lao Dai said that Kunjun knew more about stones than himself, the head miner, and excitedly invited him to help.

"You lost your memory too?" Paimeng looked at the young man and then at Su, and couldn't help but feel more sympathy for Kunjun.

Su Wangtian did not lose his memory, the weather is nice today!

"Although I have lost my memory, I can definitely help with the stones!" Kunjun was full of confidence.

In order to prove his ability, Kunjun took out a stone and asked everyone to appreciate it. "Mr. Zhongli, what do you think of this stone?"

"The surface of this stone is smooth, and the cracks on the surface are caused by volcanic eruptions." Zhongli, who has seen countless stones, saw through the origin of the stone at a glance, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a stone embryo from another country."

"The shell is thin, the lines are black... I guess it contains fine crystal ore."

Kunjun looked at Zhongli who was talking with admiration in his eyes, "Yes, this stone comes from the vicinity of the volcano, and the sellers in the market regard it as scraps." But he knew that there was a brilliance inside the stone.

"The crystal hidden under the stone shell enveloped a ball of water the moment it was formed." Kunjun seemed to have seen through the stone shell. "The water is hidden inside, like a full moon in the mountains, reflecting the sky. It is a very rare and precious crystal."

"You're explaining it in so much detail? The stone hasn't even been opened yet!" Paimon was a little skeptical, but Zhongli just said there was a crystal inside...

“What he said is true,” Zhongli added, “Most crystals are born in high temperature environments. High temperature and flowing water are incompatible, so water-filled crystals are more precious. This water-filled crystal contains water from a high mountain lake, so it is even rarer.”

Both of them knew the situation inside the stone very well, and their explanations were exactly the same. So there was no need to go through the trouble of cutting it open to find out the situation.

"I admire you! I, Old Dai, have broadened my horizons today!" Old Dai witnessed this show-off stone appraisal competition with his own eyes and was completely convinced by the two experts.

"With you two here, we can definitely ensure everyone's safety in the mine!"

Whether it is the workers waiting to be rescued or the team of travelers going to rescue the workers, they will definitely be able to return to Liyue Harbor safely!
