Chapter 17: Preparations for a Long Voyage, Acting Grand Master Jean's Concerns
"The Fatui have finally left, it's quiet now."
Kaeya smiled.
After La Signora led the Fatui and others away,The expressions of the people in the room were noticeably more relaxed.
"Next, we should discuss the trip."
"Luo Feng, what do we need to prepare to go with you to Jarilo-VI?"
"Also, how will the travel expenses be calculated?"
Barbara asked, slightly nervous, afraid that the travel expenses would be more than she could afford.
"You only need to prepare some clothing and personal belongings."
"As for travel expenses, you don't need to pay mora this time."
"You just need to prepare some food, medical supplies, and other materials for me."
Luo Feng said.
He hadn't forgotten the agreement with Seele and Natasha in Belobog.
"Food and medical supplies?"
"I understand, we will prepare them as soon as possible."
"Please tell us the specific quantities you need, Luo Feng."
Although she didn't understand why Luo Feng needed food and medical supplies, Acting Grand Master Jean readily agreed.
Anyway, giving mora or materials was the same.
It just added a step of procurement.
Luo Feng: "Then thank you, Acting Grand Master Jean."
Acting Grand Master Jean: "This is the payment I should make, but Klee..."
Acting Grand Master Jean still wanted to try and persuade Luo Feng.Afterwards, she also planned to persuade Klee.
"Don't worry, Acting Grand Master Jean. In the name of Preservation, I will definitely protect my passengers."
"If you are really worried about Klee's safety,"
"I can temporarily give Klee the 'light cone' I use later."
"I believe you will feel much more at ease if Klee has that.
"Luo Feng smiled.
Acting Grand Master Jean: "light cone?"
Luo Feng: "You'll know what it is when I give it to Klee."
A light cone can be compared to a weapon.
After use, it can enhance the user's various abilities.
When a light cone aligns with the user's Path.
The user can gain more extra power.
When Luo Feng obtained the Trailblazer template.
He also obtained a light cone usable by a Pathstrider of the Path of Preservation, named "Texture of Memories".
And in the Star Rail game.
This is a five-star light cone.
The effect of this light cone is powerful.
Making Luo Feng even feel that this five-star light cone is in a fully leveled and fully superimposed state.
Although Klee is not a Pathstrider currently.
But Luo Feng can fully inject some of his Preservation Imaginary Energy into this light cone.
So that Klee can also receive the protection of the light cone.
As for Luo Feng, because he possesses star nucleus level Imaginary Energy.
Even without equipping this light cone, his strength will not be affected much.
"Alright."
Acting Grand Master Jean saw that Luo Feng truly had no intention of changing his mind.
She could only temporarily give up on persuading him and discuss the matter of supplies with Luo Feng.
Before Luo Feng left Belobog.He had a general understanding of how many resources the Belobog Lower District lacked.
As the conversation progressed, Luo Feng and Acting Grand Master Jean quickly determined the quantity of required supplies.
"This was a very pleasant transaction, Acting Grand Master Jean."
"Once the supplies are ready, I think we can depart."
Luo Feng said.
"We will expedite the preparation of these supplies, and they will be ready tomorrow."
"As for today, Luo Feng, you can have a good day's rest."
Acting Grand Master Jean said.
"In that case, come and rest at my winery."
"I have some good wine there that you can taste."
"Additionally, some of the stock in the winery can likely become part of the supplies you need."
Diluc said.
"Mr. Diluc, you must have many things you still want to ask."
"Alright, then let's chat while we drink."
"Also, thank you for the alcoholic beverage supplies."
Luo Feng said.
Although he felt that for the Belobog Lower District.
The importance of alcoholic beverages was far less than that of food and medical supplies.
But Luo Feng was also willing to bring some over to improve the living conditions of the people in the Belobog Lower District.
Moreover, Luo Feng felt that the wine produced by Diluc's winery.
Could be considered high-grade even in Belobog's Upper District.
At that time, it would also be possible to trade these alcoholic beverages with people from Belobog's Upper District for some shields(currency).
"Master Diluc doesn't usually drink much."
"How about letting me accompany you for a drink?"
Kaeya volunteered to say.
Diluc glanced at Kaeya but did not refuse.
Although he didn't want to appear at the winery with Kaeya.
But at this moment, he couldn't care about that much.
After the three left, Barbara, Lumine, Paimon, and others also left one after another to prepare for the long journey.
Finally, Lisa also left the office.
Only Acting Grand Master Jean was left, sitting in her seat, looking slightly troubled.
"Don't worry, Acting Grand Master Jean, I can sense Luo Feng's sincerity."
"Since he said he would protect the passengers well, he will definitely protect them well."
"Besides, aren't you also going?"
Inside the room, accompanied by a gust of wind, Venti appeared before Acting Grand Master Jean.
"Hearing you say that, I feel much more at ease."
Acting Grand Master Jean breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"I just didn't expect that both Barbara and Klee would be chosen."
"I also wonder how Ms. Alice will feel when she learns that her daughter Klee will be going to the Universe."
Venti plucked the strings and said:
"After all, it was a random selection, it's not strange for anyone to be chosen. Wasn't I not chosen either?"
"As for Ms. Alice, I believe she will be at ease if you are accompanying them."
Although he hadn't appeared in the room earlier.But his name did appear on the list submitted by Acting Grand Master Jean.
After all, he also wanted to try and find a way to heal erosion.
"Regardless, it's a good thing that the Fatui were not chosen."
"However, the Path that Luo Feng mentioned... Venti, what do you think? If you were to go outside of Teyvat..."
"Is it possible to step onto a Path?"
Acting Grand Master Jean asked.
Chapter 18: Luo Feng Gives Lumine Special Care? Aether is Anxious!
"Who knows?" Venti shrugged and said:
"But since Luo Feng spoke with such certainty."
"Presumably, he can at least let one passenger step onto a Path."
"That's great. I also want to step onto a Path and see if there truly is power that can heal erosion."
Even for someone as carefree as Venti, healing erosion is exceptionally appealing.
After thousands of years.
He has already forgotten many important memories he absolutely did not want to forget due to erosion.
Although Luo Feng didn't explicitly mention whether Abundance could heal erosion.
It still made Venti very concerned.
"Never mind, I'll just quietly wait for a future opportunity."
"Acting Grand Master Jean, you must still have things to be busy with, so I won't bother you any further."
"Also, while you are away from Mondstadt, I will help handle some matters here."
As he finished speaking, Venti had already turned into a breeze and disappeared from the room.
Just as he had suddenly appeared in the room earlier.
"Those are truly reassuring words."
"Well then, I should also go make preparations."
Acting Grand Master Jean took a deep breath and walked towards the door.
She wanted to personally prepare the things Luo Feng needed
..........
One night passed quickly.
One had to say, Acting Grand Master Jean, as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius,
Her efficiency was extremely high.
When Luo Feng piloted the Astral Express back to the entrance of the Knights of Favonius Headquarters from Master Diluc's winery the next day,
The square was already full of the supplies Luo Feng needed.
"Luo Feng, is this enough?"
Acting Grand Master Jean watched Luo Feng, Master Diluc, and Kaeya descend from the Astral Express and immediately went to greet them.
"I trust the character of Acting Grand Master Jean."
"Thanks, I'll take all of these."
Luo Feng nodded to Acting Grand Master Jean, then waved his hand and stored all the supplies into his own imaginary space.
Within the imaginary space, there were also quite a few juices and wines given by Master Diluc.
"Next, is it time to depart?"
Traveler, carrying a large package, came before Luo Feng.
Behind her were Paimon, Barbara, and Klee, who also carried many items.
"That's right, if everyone is ready, you can board the Astral Express."
"There are enough rooms on the Astral Express for five people to rest."
"You can choose a room and put your luggage inside."
Luo Feng said.
"Alright, can I start a livestream, Luo Feng?"
"Also, after reaching Belobog, will the Teyvat Continent forum still be usable?"
Paimon asked, slightly excited.
"Don't worry about that, even outside of Teyvat, the forum will be usable."
"After all, I can use it there as well."
"As for the livestream, you can livestream with confidence, Paimon."
Luo Feng smiled.
Even if Paimon didn't open one, Luo Feng would start a livestream himself.
Even now, a considerable number of people didn't believe Luo Feng's words about being able to step into the Universe.
Since that was the case, Luo Feng naturally had to use the livestream to thoroughly dispel their delusions.
Upon receiving Luo Feng's permission, Paimon immediately quickly operated the forum to post and start the livestream.
Soon, a large number of Tivat People flooded into Paimon's post
..........
[Hu Tao: Wangsheng Funeral Parlor event, now buy one get one free, don't miss it as you pass by.]
[Xiangling: Hu Tao, you're too fast, you appeared as soon as Paimon started the livestream.]
[Hu Tao: Hehe, doing business naturally requires a keen sense.]
[Beidou: This time the title is "Preparing to Depart"! Does that mean Luo Feng has already decided who will be going?]
[Yae Miko: Let me see which lucky people got this opportunity.]
[Yoimiya: Little Paimon wasn't selected too, was she?]
"Hehe, good morning, everyone."
"That's right, I was indeed chosen."
"Besides me, the other four people have also been selected."
Paimon waved at the livestream camera, her face full of pride.
[Grand Sage Azar: The list is actually finalized just like that, what a pity!]
[Focalors: Let me see who exactly was chosen.]
[Zhongli: Paimon, who is by the Traveler's side, was chosen, so the Traveler should also have been chosen.]
"Hehe, this person named Zhongli understands quite well."
"That's right, both the Traveler and I were chosen."
"To be precise, the Traveler and I were internally decided upon by Luo Feng."
"In addition to us, Master Diluc, Miss Barbara, and Rosaria were also chosen."
[Prince: What?! The Traveler was internally decided upon? What exactly is that Luo Feng's motive!]
[Keqing: Besides the Traveler, they are all from Mondstadt. Good, at least no one from the Fatui was chosen.]
[Tartaglia: No way, La Signora, you weren't even chosen?]
[Dr.: How useless.]
[La Signora: Hmph, I just had slightly bad luck this time.]
[Arataki Itto: Am I the only one and that Prince who care that the Traveler and Paimon were internally decided upon? Why? Why couldn't I be chosen?]
"Hmph hmph, Luo Feng said that the Traveler and I are special."
Paimon puffed out her chest and said proudly.
[Furina: Special, why are you special? It can't be because you're a strange floating object, so you're special, right?]
"H-How dare you, calling me a strange floating object."
"That's it, I've decided, I'm going to give you an ugly nickname."
"Oh no, I haven't actually met this person named Furina, how should I give her a nickname?"
Paimon stamped her foot, then turned her head to look at Traveler, who was busy greeting.
Paimon: "Traveler, what should I do?"
Traveler: "How should I know? I haven't met Furina either. Besides, I'm not you, I don't have a hobby of giving others nicknames."
[Furina: Hehe, can't do it now, can you? If you can't, why not transfer the spot you got to me, strange floating object.]
Paimon: "Who wants to transfer it to you? Also, I will definitely give you an ugly nickname, just you wait!"
[Dehya: I'm really curious, why can Paimon get special treatment from Luo Feng.]
[Nahida: Probably because of the Traveler. The Traveler is from outside Teyvat, and Luo Feng is also from outside Teyvat, so Luo Feng is willing to give the Traveler a chance.]
[Neuvillette: Paimon was also included by Luo Feng because she is the Traveler's companion.]
[Prince: Just because of this reason? Luo Feng, you really don't have any other intentions?]
"It seems that this Prince cares about the Traveler very much."
Luo Feng walked to Paimon's side and said meaningfully to the camera.
"This man!"
Aether clenched his fist.
Thinking about how his previous private message was not only ignored by Luo Feng,
But now Luo Feng also planned to take Traveler into the Universe.
A wave of anger surged in Aether's heart
.And Luo Feng's act of giving Traveler special treatment,
Also made it hard for Aether not to feel that Luo Feng had other intentions.
"I can't let this guy take Traveler away easily."
"You, tell Stormterror to stop him."
"You don't need to defeat him, just stir up strong winds to prevent his Astral Express from departing."
He turned his head and looked at the Abyss Mage not far away, saying sternly.
"Yes, my master."
The Abyss Mage said respectfully.
