Upon returning to the hotel that night, Orion immediately declared that he was going out to farm monsters, which was actually just to clear the Spiral Abyss for Primogems.
Unexpectedly, if he hadn't mentioned farming monsters, it would have been fine, but as soon as he did, Skirk instantly snapped to attention.
"I'll go too," Skirk said in an unperturbed tone.
She had realized that because Orion was too strong, fighting him constantly made it difficult to gauge her actual strength, as Orion always held back when fighting her.
Although Lumine's strength was improving rapidly, according to Orion, Lumine could awaken more power simply by touching other statue of the seven, so her strength didn't need to be rushed.
She, on the other hand, recently bought a novel out of boredom that described another cultivation system, divided into things like Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Dou Zun, which was quite interesting.
It also mentioned that cultivation is like sailing against the current; one either advances or retreats, and Skirk found this very reasonable.
Therefore, she now had to seize every moment of training to continuously improve!
After a brief thought, Orion summoned the system interface to try, and the result showed that they could enter as a team.
This meant that although Skirk didn't have a system and couldn't see the Spiral Abyss on Musk Reef, he could directly pull her in through his system.
So Orion nodded, "Alright, no problem, then let's go together."
"Wait a moment." Skirk reached out to stop Orion, "I still need to pack my luggage."
After speaking, Skirk turned and walked into the room, leaving Orion with a bewildered expression.
You don't have artifacts or a weapon arsenal, why do you need to pack?
A moment later, Lumine, looking sleepy in a light blue nightgown, was dragged out by Skirk.
Lumine:???
"I was about to experience the Little Master in my dream; what urgent matter pulled me out?" Lumine's tone was somewhat displeased.
However, Skirk didn't answer Lumine but instead directly said to Orion, "I've thought about it; her physique is practically an Innate Fen Jue Sacred Body. I've decided to train her well."
Orion:???????
Is it the Fen Jue I'm thinking of?
Lumine still struggled, indicating that she didn't want to go.
Skirk thought for a moment, walked over to Orion, and placed her hand in his.
Orion looked at Skirk in confusion but still instinctively squeezed her cool little hand and asked, "What is this for?"
"Bribe," Skirk said expressionlessly.
"Bribe? Is holding hands a bribe? What are you bribing me for?"
Skirk pointed in Lumine's direction: "You turn into a child and team up with Lumine."
Upon hearing this, Lumine instantly stood up, so fast!
Orion wore a bitter expression, realizing he was the Bait.
Once Lumine changed her clothes, Orion, now in his shota form, grabbed Lumine's hand and then explained, "You need to be touching for the teleportation."
Lumine didn't respond, only muttering, "I'll never let go of this hand again."
"Let go of me!"
Soon after, the three of them were back in the inn.
It was too easy, at the level where even a native could solo it.
Lumine was in a very good mood after holding hands with the Little Master for so long, but Skirk was somewhat disappointed.
"It's a bit too simple..."
Orion shook off Lumine's hand and returned to his 1.8-meter height, saying, "It's simple because we've only encountered the Nation of Wind, which only has Hilichurls. As the journey progresses, the types of monsters there will increase."
"For example?"
Orion thought for a moment: "For example, Slimes that can't take DMG from the same element, Abyss Mages with elemental shields, high-stat Ruin Guard series, and some mechanic monsters. For instance, some monsters have incredibly hard armor, and others' armor must be hit consecutively a certain number of times to be broken."
Skirk's eyes visibly brightened; she had already begun to imagine future attack speed training and the like.
Lumine took off her boots, sat barefoot on the sofa, and asked with her legs crossed, "Then how often can we fight?"
"You can go every day, but it refreshes every half month. The next refresh is on the sixteenth, and the one after that is on the first of next month."
Lumine calculated the days: "Then won't it be very soon?"
At this moment, Paimon also rubbed her eyes and flew out: "Where did you guys go just now?"
"Night training," Lumine replied, then looked at Orion: "Master, give me a reason; you weren't really just taking us to fight monsters, were you?"
Orion chuckled, "Of course not! After each half-monthly refresh, as long as we clear that place, I can obtain some miraculous items, and it might even directly strengthen you and Skirk!"
Lumine and Skirk's eyes both lit up. Is it that amazing?
Paimon quickly flew over and asked, "What about me, what about me!"
Orion pushed Paimon away, "You can't be strengthened. Go be a tour guide."
"Hmph! You bad guy!" Paimon stomped her feet in the air in anger.
Orion glanced at her, "I'll buy you snacks."
Paimon quickly floated over, began massaging Orion's shoulders, and didn't forget to show concern: "Hehe! Are your shoulders sore?"
Opportunist!
If you were truly the Heavenly Principles, Teyvat would be doomed.
Afterward, Orion explained to Skirk and the others that getting stronger was probabilistic and the chances weren't high; generally, they would likely receive some local weapons or similar items.
Skirk and the others didn't mind. They even opened the Abyss Space, placed a sofa inside, and sat side by side to watch Orion perform.
Orion, with a sense of ritual, performed a segment of Tai Chi by the bonfire, then suddenly raised his hands high and shouted: "Misca Mosca! Drop the goods!
Angrily f*ck Da Wei for miracles!"
Subsequently, the sky changed color. From the pitch-black sky of the Abyss Space, a ring formed by clouds suddenly appeared, and then ten beams of light plunged down! Six were blue, three purple, and one gold.
""Oh oh oh oh!"" Paimon and Lumine clenched their fists and exclaimed.
Especially the little money-grubber Paimon, who was already uncontrollably excited: "It dropped, it dropped! One is even gold! It must be a good item!"
Orion was also a little surprised; was his luck this good in this life?! He got a gold on the first pull!
Then, the ten beams of light landed. The blue lights first revealed their forms: three-star weapons like the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers and the Skyrider Greatsword.
The three purple lights were a sacrificial sword, a Favonius Lance, and a Sacrificial Bow.
Finally, the dazzling golden star, shining with brilliant light, crashed down. However, its direction was not an empty space nearby, but directly towards Orion.
Paimon was somewhat flustered; not having personally witnessed Orion's strength, she worried that a powerful weapon might suddenly emerge from the golden light and injure Orion. Orion himself, however, was different; he seemed to sense something and opened his arms.
Within the golden light, a maiden wearing a red coat, with waist-length white hair, and bare, tender jade feet, gracefully descended and was caught in Orion's embrace.
This scene of a person appearing out of nowhere even stunned Lumine and Skirk; they hadn't heard of such a thing before!
Orion was equally stunned. He looked at the maiden in his arms, not knowing what to say.
While everyone was still dazed, a deep blue steel figure suddenly descended from the sky. Over two meters tall, with a straight posture, he extended a hand, pointing the cannon in his palm towards Orion, threatening:
"Leave Clara! Hmm? It's Stelle. My apologies, I failed to correctly identify your signal just now. Combat mode disengaged."
Orion looked blankly at Mr. Svarog, who had withdrawn his combat stance, then at the maiden in his arms who was about to awaken.
Good news, it dropped.
Bad news, the soft pity was off-banner.
But again, good news, it went to the neighbor's banner, pulling Clara.
