Genshin Impact: Teyvat High School

Brush—brush—

Kong took a small brush and brushed a golden stone over and over again.

“If you want to protect the ancient monuments that are obscured by the world, you should go to places where no one has ever set foot, rather than accompany the sun and the moon in this bustling world.”

(Human words: He is doing this sweet archaeology from a distance, right? Don’t waste your time!)

Seeing that Kong was dawdling here, Dai Yin couldn't stand it anymore and complained. Moreover, the rock was particularly large, and the exposed part was just the tip of the iceberg. Otherwise, a small meteorite would not have fallen and caused such a large area of ​​ruins.

They observed the surroundings before coming here, and with simple reasoning, they could tell that this area was suddenly hit by a meteorite falling from the sky some time ago, and the huge impact force razed the entire area to the ground.

They came here early in the morning, when the sun hadn't even come out and the moon was still hanging in the sky. They had come here only to rescue people and to help Abyss Academy recruit some employees or students. However, after they arrived here, they discovered something that surprised them all.

"As the dean of the academy, don't you even know what's inside?"

Kong was unwilling to give in and also retorted.

"Of course I know. It's just a [Rock Heart]. But this vibration stone is not an ordinary stone. You can use a brush to brush it until you want."

"There's an old saying in Liyue that goes 'If you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into an embroidery needle'. So, as long as I'm willing to put in the effort, I'll be able to finish this vibration stone sooner or later, and even protect the [Heart of Rock] to the greatest extent!"

Dain's attitude towards Kong's opinion was to give Kong a knock on the head.

After all, [Heart of Rock] is not an ancient artifact and is not that fragile!

This time, the blow was quite loud. Kong hugged his head in pain and turned to look at Dai Yin angrily.

"Why did you hit me!"

"Don't think you can be complacent just because you got the [Heart of Water]. You don't have that much time to grind. That woman may appear here at any time."

However, the fact that he had obtained the "Heart of Water" by himself did make him a little proud, so he waved his hand.

"This [Rock Heart] is so well hidden that the smell doesn't show at all. I don't believe that woman's nose can be so sensitive!"

Dain had no intention of talking to him anymore. He raised his head and looked around. It was a ruin.

A few days ago, this was still a residential building. Although it was a relatively remote place in Kamiya City, there were still a few households living here. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. This sudden disaster...

……

It was already afternoon, but the sun was still shining brightly. Because of the [Heart of Rock], they had to wear elemental protective clothing. As a result, they all felt extremely hot even though it was already winter.

"Phew! I finally knocked it down!"

After careful grinding and rubbing, Kong finally removed the [Heart of Rock] from the huge vibrating stone. Although the "true appearance" of the [Heart of Rock] was still not revealed, it was already a good result. At least there was progress.

"Stop! Someone is stealing something!"

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past Kong, snatched the [Heart of Rock] directly from Kong's hand, and then rushed into the ruins and disappeared.

Kong rushed over hastily, but couldn't fit into the gap in the ruins at all, so he could only worry.

"What, was the stuff stolen?"

Dyne said with a slightly disdainful tone, then walked over to Sora and stopped to look at the gap with him.

"It's probably that woman's fault again. Hey, Dynesreb, what should we do now?"

"It shouldn't be that woman who did it. She would never use such means to take things."

Dain looked at the tiny gap, thinking for a moment.

"That's right, but who else would want this kind of thing except that woman? Who else can withstand this kind of power?"

Dain stood beside Kong, listening to his chattering, but suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he did not respond to him. Instead, he put on a pair of strange glasses and squatted in front of the hole in the gap, observing something.

"This is Kanria..."

"What the hell! I want to ask what should I do now that the [Heart of Rock] has been stolen?!"

Dyne still didn't say anything, but took out the strange pair of glasses from the void and threw them to Sora.

Kong almost dropped it, and waved his hands as hard as he could. The glasses bounced left and right in the air a few times, but he finally managed to hold them steady.

Sora took the strange glasses and looked at them for a few seconds, then asked Dai Yin in confusion: "Hey, what is this?"

"Elemental Vision."

Hearing these four words, Kong's eyes lit up.

"You're finally willing to give this thing to me!"

"Be careful. I haven't come to you for the damage you did to me before! The academy doesn't have that much money to buy this kind of stuff."

"Hehehe~" Sora smiled apologetically, "I won't do that this time."

Afterwards, Kong put on the elemental vision glasses, and the light of the surrounding environment dimmed rapidly. Then a golden line extended from his hand into the gap. Yes, this was the elemental trace left by the [Heart of Rock], which could be observed by elemental vision.

Although the traces of [Heart of Rock] are very conspicuous, if you look more carefully you can find white dots on the ground. That is the standard color of the universal element. However, after the disaster, this element disappeared completely, and the organization that invented this element was also destroyed. Only two people in the entire organization survived.

This is... No, this is wrong. Hasn't it been lost? No one else knows this technique except them! Could it be...

Sora's brain was working rapidly as he pondered over this matter that particularly concerned him. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said to Dain:

"Dain, mobilize the people to take back the [Heart of Stone], and find out who this thief is."

After observing with elemental vision, he was not in a hurry anymore, because it was not that woman, and he had not completely peeled off the protective shell of [Heart of Rock], so they still had plenty of time.
