Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After hearing Chang Ming's words, Jacob's expression froze for a moment, as if he had some... objection to Chang Ming's decision.

He was well aware that the regent in front of him was unfathomable. Whether it was the tools in his hands or his sophisticated element manipulation abilities, he could never match them.

Even the terrifyingly strong intuition and information gathering ability...

In short, as long as he was here for a second, his plan would not be able to be implemented perfectly.

Thinking of this, Jacob's mind instantly became a mess, as if he could no longer think.

"No, I have to find a way to break through this limit. Otherwise...not only will I be unable to absorb Erinus' power, but I might even be killed by him on the spot!"

Just when he was panicking about this, Chang Ming was looking at him silently, with an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth.

"As long as I'm standing here, he'll basically be in a state of 'fear of the consequences'. Even if I want to forcibly awaken Erinus, I can hold him down. It's a very simple matter."

"In the end, it all depends on whether this extreme diode wants to improve. If it does, give it a chance."

Thinking of this, Chang Ming looked at Ying and Paimeng beside him, chuckled and asked:

"Traveler, Paimon, what do you think of this plan?"

"Hmm? I don't think it matters. If Chang Ming is here, things should go a little smoother, right?"

Paimon chuckled and almost wrote the words "I want to be lazy" on his face.

Ying was stunned for a moment and then nodded quickly, as if she had noticed a hint of cunning in those sea-blue eyes.

She knew very well that Chang Ming would never do anything that was not related to his own interests.

Whether in Fontaine or Liyue, he didn't behave like the type who would work for others for free.

"Maybe that's why he cares so much about the salaries of ordinary people?"

Ying thought with some uncertainty.

Chang Ming nodded slightly when he saw this, then smiled and said to Jacob:

"What do you think, Mr. Jacob?"

"I don't have a problem with that. Since I can get the painting earlier... why would I refuse?"

Jacob pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, just like the young wife who was forced.

Can he say no?

Obviously, no.

Chang Ming nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Mamehe who was fiddling with Sigma and said:

"Mamehe, what materials do you need for your paint? We'll go get them with you."

"Hmm? Mr. Chang Ming, are you going to come and help me find the materials in person? Thank you, Mr. Chang Ming!"

Mamehe's face showed some obvious excitement, while Paimon looked at Ying beside him and said softly:

"Come to think of it, we also helped Albedo collect starsilver ore when we were in the snowy mountains before, right?"

"Although I didn't use it in the end, at least I gained some experience!"

Ying smiled and nodded, then said softly to Mamehe:

"Then... I'll ask Miss Mamehe to lead the way."

"Yeah! Okay~"

After saying that, Mamehe skipped away into the distance, while Chang Ming looked at Sigma thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.

"I think Xianyun will be interested in this..."

But soon, this idea was strangled in the cradle by him, and then he quickly followed the crowd and went deeper into the cave.

......

Under Mamehe's leadership, everyone soon arrived at a... somewhat strange cave.

The place is filled with blood-red crystals entangled by black vines, but the weirdness doesn't end there.

These crystals were just like the huge blood-red heart that Ying and the others had seen on the snowy mountain.

——It had the texture and appearance of a crystal, but it was flashing with a strange bloody light, and it was constantly rising and falling like a living thing.

Looking at the crystals in front of him, a flash of scarlet desire appeared in Jacob's eyes, as if these crystals had a very strong attraction to him.

Chang Ming also noticed the change in Jacob's state, and a hint of understanding flashed in his sea-blue eyes.

"My guess was correct. These crystals are actually the essence of Erinus' blood, but a lot of them disappeared over time."

"Jacob wants to increase his own strength by collecting these things, and activate the heart of Erinus..."

"I won't let these things fall into your hands. I have to give you a little shock."

Chang Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, a look of relief appeared on his face, and then he asked Mamehe beside him:

"Mamehe, are these ores the materials you need?"

"Yeah! That's it!"

"Well then..."

Chang Ming slowly raised his hand, and a violent lightning element emerged in his palm, slowly wrapping the power of the abyss in it in an imperceptible way, and then threw it out without hesitation -

blah-

Accompanied by a sharp sound of electric current, a violent arc of electricity burst out from Chang Ming's hand at this moment, sweeping across the entire cave in an instant.

Boom boom boom boom——

The continuous explosions made everyone look at Chang Ming in amazement, and the broken blood-red crystals were almost simultaneously collected by Chang Ming through the electric arc.

Soon, red crystal fragments more than one meter tall appeared under Chang Ming's feet.

"Oh My God..."

Paimon stared in amazement at the blood-red crystal that was as tall as a hill, and was shocked beyond words for a moment.

Why did she feel that Chang Ming had become a little stronger?

The thunder element he controlled before wasn't so strong?

what?

Sometimes I have to envy Paimon, after all, the small brain capacity is exchanged for a faster restart speed

——Even if it crashes, it can be restarted quickly.

"Chang, Chang Ming? Did you go to Black Rock Factory or Stratochasm when you went to Liyue?"

"?"

Chang Ming, who was counting the crystal fragments, looked at Paimeng beside him strangely, as if he didn't know what this guy wanted to say.

"I mean... if you have this ability, those merchants related to minerals will definitely be happy to cooperate with you..."

Paimon scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and seemed to realize that what he said was a little inappropriate, and then hurriedly explained:

"Uh, I didn't say anything! Just take it as a joke, hehehe..."

Ying rubbed his temples helplessly, as if he was helpless about this guide who went crazy from time to time.

But Chang Ming didn't seem to care about this. He looked at Mamehe, whose eyes were shining, and said softly:

"These should be enough, right?"
