Orion sensed the System Interface in his mind, then looked at the hand he was holding with Lumine. He felt... either he transmigrated to the wrong place, or the system found the wrong person.
After letting go, Orion looked toward Lumine again. The effect of the System's Information Query activated, and soon a list appeared in his view.
[Name: Lumine
Gender: Female
friendship: 1/10
Identity: Traveler, Fourth Descender
Affiliation: None
Vision: None
Constellation: None/Traveler's Constellation
Introduction: A Traveler from beyond this world whose brother was taken by the gods. Has the potential to become a Shotacon.]
Holy crap! It really works! Isn't this too overpowered?
Orion then turned his attention to Paimon.
[Name: Paimon
Gender: Female
friendship: 1/10
Identity: The Best Guide!
Affiliation: None
Vision: None
Constellation:???
Summary: The Best Companion!]
It seems "The Best Companion" is Hardcoded; it can't be changed. That's fine then.
The system's other functions are simple. Map goes without saying; once opened, you can see the locations of the statue of the seven and Ley Line Outcrops, but you need to manually activate them at the statue of the seven.
Inventory goes without saying. Although called an inventory, it's actually System Space, and there doesn't seem to be a capacity limit.
That's great. No need to wait for capacity expansion after every Lantern Rite.
As for the Task List, Character List, and Wish functions, Orion truly didn't understand them.
What does this mean? Can characters just drop down from the sky in the real world? And this Task List
surely the real world doesn't have to follow the game's mission guidance step by step? Can I skip unnecessary checkpoints if I know the future plot?
However, Orion had some theories of his own.
Since character information shows the Constellation, there might be a way to strengthen the Constellation. Translated to reality, this might mean making the fate star on the False Sky shine brighter, thereby increasing someone's Luck and indirectly achieving a strengthening effect.
What about his own panel?

Summary: A Transmigrator created by misfortune, but fortune lurks within disaster, and disaster is intertwined with fortune. Who can truly say whether it is a blessing or a curse?]
Although I don't understand why the Goddesses were counted as items, looking at the other things in the inventory, he really has stored a lot of good stuff.
No choice. He didn't dare touch many of the items after swallowing them. In his previous life, he was so poor he couldn't even afford to Wish for the cumulative consumption event during anniversaries because he didn't save resources well. He was terrified of being poor.
Also, this huge pile of Authorities
they are the Authorities of gods from other star systems. They aren't very strong, mostly Planetary Level or Stellar Level. He had thought about whether he could fuse similar Authorities among them to make them stronger, but every attempt failed without exception.
It seems that even if the Authorities of different planets are repetitive, they cannot be fused.
He probably needs to learn how to use Abyssal Power before he can better realize his ideas.
But there's no rush. Since he finally made it to Teyvat, he should treat these abilities as a last resort against dangers on his journey, and spend the rest of the time enjoying life! Moreover, the Proficiency of these skills is maxed out, so there's almost no need for repetitive learning. He might as well study how to use Abyssal Power, and then simulate something like the Seven Transformations of the Serpent as an everyday ability. He's mainly worried that making too much noise will wake up the Great King Fa, who might wake up and detonate Teyvat along with him.
As for The Wicked Knight, he's just an Old Bastard! Doesn't he know his own growth potential?
Once my main body grows to adulthood, I'll steal your apprentice and bring back a huge pile of grand-apprentices to deal with you!
Finally, seeing "fifth descender" written in the Identity column, Orion nodded. It seems he truly is an existence similar to Lumine, though if he had to say, he might be more like the Dragon King Nibelungen, who is suspected to be the Second Descender?
While Orion was preoccupied researching the system functions, Lumine and Paimon also finished their food.
"Ah~ I'm so full!" Paimon patted her round belly, spun around in the air, flew over, and patted Orion's shoulder. "Orion, you're really great! And you can 'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' pull out so much delicious food! I feel like I can already see us feasting throughout our future journeys! I've decided to give you a nice nickname!"
Having said that, Paimon put her finger to her mouth and pondered, "What should I call you... I'll call you Treasure Pouch!"
"...Why don't you call me Cornucopia?"
"Hey! That's good, that's good! If I give you that nickname, maybe we'll get countless Mora later!" After speaking, Paimon became immersed in the fantasy of swimming in Mora, completely oblivious to her surroundings.
On the other side, Lumine threw the bamboo skewers and other things into the bonfire, then scooped up some seawater nearby to extinguish the fire.
She clapped her hands and said to Paimon and Orion, "Shall we go? Let's travel together?"
Paimon clenched her fists in the air and stomped her little feet. "Yes, yes! To repay you for saving me, allow me, Teyvat's best guide, to lead the way for you two!"
"Wait a moment!" At this, Orion suddenly interrupted. "Just wait a little longer. I feel like if we wait here a bit more, I might meet the person I'm waiting for."
Lumine and Paimon were surprised. Is finding people that easy for you?
However, seeing Orion pull out a deck of cards, some dice, a pile of snacks and drinks, and a Sun Umbrella, the two still sat down obediently.
Lumine picked up the cards and looked at them. The art style was quite refined. "What is this?"
"This is called Seven Saints Summoning. It seems to be a native card game played here in Teyvat." Orion pulled out a Character Card. "Look at this one, the Big Black Sword Guy. This is a real person who exists in Mondstadt. These characters are card designs made by the game's official developers after searching for famous figures in the various nations on the continent. We can also roughly learn about the famous people of each nation together."
"Oh, oh! Seven Saints Summoning, I know, I know! I can explain the rules to you!" Paimon raised her little hand and began explaining the rules to Lumine. The three then played cards while waiting for time to pass.
However, by the afternoon, Orion had already left the card table, replaced by Paimon playing cards with the Traveler.
Orion looked at the calm sea surface, feeling a little melancholic.
He hadn't won a single round.
He remembered, he remembered everything. In his previous life, when playing cards at the Cats Tail Tavern, he couldn't even beat the NPCs.
It wasn't just Seven Saints Summoning; he couldn't remember the effects in Yu-Gi-Oh!, couldn't figure out the rules of Hearthstone, only knew how to use the Default Deck in Shadowverse, never even clicked into Gwent, and didn't even like joining in when his family played poker during the New Year.
After a few rounds of Seven Saints Summoning, he had purely humiliated himself.
Taking this opportunity, he quickly reviewed the plot.
After a while, he remembered: Oh right, Skirk sees the Traveler's Stick Figure Drawing... that's supposed to be at night... He looked up at the sun, which was about to set.
"...Let's set up a Tent."
At night, on the beach, the lights in both Tents had been extinguished.
On the beach, a Cool-Toned Beauty walked silently. Her legwear, whether stockings or long boots, connected to the high heels on her feet, shimmering with colors like the Starry Cosmos.
The cone-like high heels stepped on the sand, leaving a thin indentation.
Soon after, she stopped. Her cold White Hair seemed to gleam in the moonlight, and her red eyes stared silently at the Stick Figure Drawing on the ground, then looked at the two Tents in the distance.
"Skirk?"
Suddenly, a male voice came from behind. Skirk turned around and saw an Elf Youth with Yellowish-White Hair.
"Were you waiting for me?" she asked.
Orion nodded. "Yes, Surtalogi sent me to find you."
Hearing this, Skirk's eyes widened instantly, and her usually placid expression suddenly showed significant emotional fluctuation.
Rarely, she clenched both fists, her expression slightly solemn as she looked at Orion. "Is that so... So, has the time arrived so quickly?"
Orion:?
"Indeed, his Concept of Time must be different from ordinary people. He's probably measuring my time by the speed of his own strengthening..."
Orion:???
"In that case, you must be the First Trial he sent to test me, right? Come." She loosely grasped with her right hand, and a slightly purple, Icy-White Longsword appeared in her grip.
Holding the sword across her body, Skirk looked at the young man before her with extreme seriousness. She could feel that within this seemingly casual body, there was the weight of an entire planet!
"I will defeat you, and then raise my sword against him!!!"
Orion:???????
Why does something feel wrong?
However, seeing Skirk about to rush over, Orion quickly reached out to stop her. "Stop! Stop!" Then he pointed toward Lumine's Tent. "My friend is sleeping over there. Shall we fight far away?"
Then he pushed off the ground hard with both feet and leaped forcefully toward the sky.
For a moment, Skirk only felt a red shadow flash past her, accompanied by two Sonic Booms.
She looked back and could vaguely see a figure in the distance surrounded by a Sonic Boom Cloud flying away.
Skirk: "..."
Never mind. Since the tough words have already been said, I might as well fight.
