"So, you said that the reason you were running naked in Jueyunjian was because a fairy stole your clothes while you were bathing?" The young man named Aki looked at the person in front of him suspiciously.
He had a very delicate appearance and soft body lines, making it hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman at first glance. However, since he was naked, Aki was sure he was a man. Gray hair and eyebrows, black eyes, a not very straight nose, a medium-sized mouth, all quite harmonious. Further down was a less obvious Adam's apple and delicate collarbone, and then there was no description.
"That's right! Nice to meet you, my name is An Jin," said An Jin.
"No, I'm not that happy. I'm just curious now, which fairy is so improper that she is so hungry and thirsty," Aki didn't believe a word of An Jin's story.
After that, he asked, "Hey, where is the fairy now?"
"She flew to the sky."
"She flew to the sky?" Aki nodded and said, "I've heard that there are fairies living in seclusion in Jueyunjian, but I've never heard of fairies living in the sky..."
At this point, he suddenly thought of something: "I say, you're not joking about Lady Ningguang, are you?"
An Jin's ears suddenly perked up, "Wait a minute? You said Ningguang?"
"Why, it sounds familiar to you, right?"
"Yes, it sounds very familiar."
An Jin remembered that Ningguang was the Tianquan Star among the seven heads of Riketsu when the main storyline of the original game took place. She was one of the so-called Riketsu Seven Stars, with the name of the traditional Japanese Big Dipper as the code name of the position.
This Ningguang is now the Tianquan Star, responsible for lawmaking and business exchanges among the seven stars, but she is a strong woman with a lot of money. She used precious floating stones to build a loft flying in the sky, living and working there, very arrogantly.
Seeing An Jin's reaction, Aki couldn't bear it anymore. "I tell you, there is a limit to joking. Don't think you can belittle my idol in front of me just because you saved me!"
"Uh... I'll pay attention..." An Jin smiled helplessly and added in his heart—probably.
Ningguang is indeed a fairy living in the sky in the eyes of mortals, but she is actually an original god with the Eye of God, not a fairy.
On this continent called Teyvat, the levels of life are very clear, roughly divided into mortals, elemental lords, gods' followers, demons, seven gods, and heavenly law.
Ningguang is an original god with the Eye of God who can use elemental power, so her strength is roughly at the level of elemental lords, which may be considered top-notch among them, while the famous immortals in Riketsu are all at the level of gods' followers.
More importantly, the immortals have an endless lifespan, while mortals will eventually grow old and die.
As for the fairy An Jin mentioned, she is even more powerful. She is at the top of the Teyvat pyramid—the agent of heavenly law. Her real strength is almost immeasurable; in short, it is ridiculously powerful.
"The fairy I'm talking about, she is much more powerful than Ningguang..."
"What did you say?"
An Jin quickly shook his head: "Nothing, you'd better help me get a set of clothes, these leaves are really prickly."
"Well, then wait a moment, I've stored the gifts in a nearby house, and I'll be back soon."
"Okay, don't forget it!"
"I know, it's so annoying."
Aki said and walked away.
An Jin sighed. It's not that he wanted to lie to Aki, but there are some things Aki is not suitable to know.
It can't be said that he, An Jin, is actually a resurrected demon god, right? That's right, An Jin was once a demon god at the top of the power pyramid of Teyvat—Chaos, the demon god of chaos. The reason for this name is that in that era when there were demons with distinct characteristics everywhere, Chaos, a guy who traveled from Earth, was indeed an outlier. He was almost friendly to all elements, but not friendly enough to all elements. Later, in order to return to Earth, he specialized in the laws of space and simply called himself Chaos, the demon of chaos.
Chaos is not chaos, but a kind of unpredictability, a higher order. Chaos is a kind of regular chaos and unpredictable order, representing infinite possibilities. An Jin hoped that this name would bring him good luck and help him find his way home.
However, he did not expect that when he spent thousands of years studying and finally broke through the world wall with hope of returning home, he found that the setting was wrong and the channel could not be entered. What's more terrible is that the agent of heaven discovered his destructive behavior and rushed over, and he had no time to adjust.
An Jin didn't want to describe the situation that day too much; he could only say that the other party's methods were extremely cruel.
An Jin didn't know what happened later. After all, when a person dies, it's like a light goes out. How can he remember what happened after death? Flipping through his memories, An Jin also knew nothing. He only vaguely remembered that he was a Riketsu person and should have a deep bond with this land, but he knew nothing about it.
Fortunately, An Jin's memory of his time on Earth was very solid, as if it was engraved in his soul, so he never forgot who he was, and never forgot "Genshin Impact," an excellent game that contains most of the worldview of Teyvat.
"Ah... why is this happening?" An Jin had a headache. Why did he revive after being killed once? Why did he lose so much memory after being resurrected? What should he do next? It's better to go to Riketsu Harbor to determine his position on the timeline, and then decide how to go home.
Aki finally came back and brought the clothes that An Jin had longed for.
"Huh~" An Jin put on his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Not bad, not bad, finally I don't have to experience the feeling of the wind blowing on my crotch. Not bad, not bad, but it's a bit loose. You should lose weight, Aki."
Aki complained like a hair exploded: "You are too demanding, aren't you?"
An Jin also hit back: "That's better than you, an adventurer who was chased by water slimes and ran all over the mountains and plains, right?"
"I, I didn't run away, it was a strategic shift!" Aki blushed and argued vigorously: "What scholars do can't be considered running away..."
Then he said some incomprehensible words, which made An Jin laugh.
"Are you a scholar?"
Aki spread his hands: "No..."
It turned out that Aki, the chatterbox, had already revealed his identity when he first met An Jin.
This funny guy is neither a scholar nor an adventurer, but a tailor, and a famous tailor in Riketsu Harbor. His father Wood is the most famous tailor in Riketsu Harbor, so Aki is also a good tailor, but young people are always unwilling to stick to the rules, so he wants to be an adventurer instead. So he registered with the Adventurer's Association and ran north to clean up some low-level monsters, such as slimes.
"Well, shouldn't you be clearing along the main road? You can also be closer to the city and safer. Why do you run to this wilderness?"
Aki shook his head and laughed, "You don't understand this. There are countless adventurers in Riketsu Harbor. They have cleared the roads near the city long ago. They clear monsters to make money, but do you think I'm short of money?
I just enjoy the fun of fighting, so I go to places where others won't come. This way there will be a challenge. This is a real adventurer. A real adventurer will not be confined to trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation!"
"What a great ambition! Quack quack!" An Jin applauded and asked, "So why can't you even beat a slime? Isn't it a low-level monster?"
"Ahem, low-level monsters also have different levels of strength. To be honest, a slime as big as a hill is not something a human can beat."
An Jin reminded, "It's not that big. It's at most as big as a unicycle."
"Uh..." Aki was speechless: "Well, objectively speaking, it is indeed that big.
But I think, strictly speaking, those slimes must be a little bigger than the wheelbarrow, no, a whole circle bigger. You know, no one knows the wheelbarrow better than me.
Moreover, I have never encountered such a big slime before. The slimes on both sides of the North-South Avenue are not that big!"
An Jin probably understood. Fortunately, this unlucky child had some knowledge in his mind and did not really go deep into the mountains and old forests. If he really encountered some powerful monsters, he would probably be dead.
"By the way, what are you going to do next?"
Aki didn't know what to do. He couldn't even deal with monsters like slimes, let alone other monsters. You know, slimes are the lowest level monsters. The elemental power will float up and turn into crystal butterflies, and sink and condense into slimes. Both are almost not dangerous. How can you be a good adventurer if you can't even deal with slimes so reluctantly?
So he said confusedly: "I don't know, maybe I will continue to adventure for a while, and if it doesn't work out, I will go back to Riketsu Harbor and continue to be a tailor."
An Jin said, I am very familiar with this sentence structure, 'I used to be an adventurer like you until I was shot in the knee.'
"Hehe, don't be so pessimistic. Life is like a box of weird-tasting candies. You never know what the next one will taste like."
"What candies?"
"Hehe, don't care about the details."
"Okay, I roughly understand what you mean. By the way, what's your next plan?"
An Jin spread his hands and said, "I'm going to Riketsu Harbor to see the world and have some adventure."
"Riketsu Harbor, what's so good about that crappy place? Uh..." Aki was a little hesitant and suddenly recalled An Jin's beautiful combo when he killed the slime, so he made up his mind, "Then I'll go with you. Your strength is not bad, and I can just observe.
Of course, one thing is one thing. As a reward, I can tailor-make a set of clothes for you. What do you think?"
An Jin just needed such a native of Riketsu Harbor, because he really couldn't be sure. God knew how much Riketsu had changed in the years he was away.
"It's a fair deal, that's it."
