"Elemental gadgets?"
Everyone asked curiously,
"Mr. Arkz, are you an Alchemist?"
"The Alchemists in Mondstadt are very mysterious, but they always manage to produce interesting and good things."
"Alchemist?" Arkz stroked his chin. "I suppose I am an Alchemist, but the way I create gadgets might differ from the mainstream Alchemists in Teyvat."
Fischl stood with her hands on her hips, her delicate little face filled with confusion.
"Aren't all of you Alchemists? Is there a difference?"
"But that's not important."
"We aren't Alchemists, we don't care about that."
"What about the alchemy gadget you mentioned? Hurry up and show it to us!"
Fischl blinked, her face full of excitement and curiosity.
"Right, hurry up and show us!"
"I want to see it too."
"Klee is also curious."
"..."
Under everyone's urging, Arkz didn't hide anything and directly took out the gadgets he had prepared.
"Cleansing Pendants."
"They contain Anemo Elemental Power. Pressing the button in the middle can trigger a gentle Anemo Element to Cleanse dirt from the body and clothes."
"The entire cleansing process is gentle and non-irritating, causing no DMG."
As he spoke, Arkz distributed a Cleansing Pendant to everyone present.
Listening to Arkz's introduction, the eyes of the crowd showed clear interest.
If these pendants were truly as amazing as Arkz claimed, they would be incredibly convenient.
They wouldn't have to return home looking filthy after finishing training in the Underground Mine every day.
Previously, after their training ended, Barbara and the others would plan to go out together in Mondstadt, find a place to eat a good meal, and rest.
But the dirt covering them forced these beauty-loving girls to choose to go home immediately after training to bathe and change clothes.
However,
By the time they finished washing and put on their beautiful clothes, the sky had already darkened.
The bustling streets had become sparse, and the vendors selling snacks and accessories had already finished for the day.
Mondstadt's night belonged to the drunks.
Nighttime was when the taverns were most lively.
But without the company of friends and the lively streets, they couldn't exactly go to a tavern to drink, could they?
Now, with this pendant, things would be much more convenient and save a lot of time.
"This pendant will automatically absorb the free-floating Anemo Element from the air, allowing it to release the Cleanse spell about three times a day."
"You can try it out."
The group exchanged glances.
Finally, Barbara stepped forward.
"I'll try it first."
With that, she pressed the button on the pendant under Arkz's gaze.
A soft cyan Anemo Element magic circle enveloped her. A moment later, as the Anemo Element dissipated,
Barbara appeared before everyone, sparkling clean.
"Wow!"
"The effect is so obvious!"
"I thought cosmetics would also be treated as stains and washed away."
Barbara looked at her clothes in surprise.
Although these were new clothes she had changed into that morning and were already very clean, Barbara remembered that when she was rushing to the farm today, mud splashed up by a passing carriage had stained her skirt.
Now, looking at the spot where the mud had been, it was perfectly clean!
Barbara was sure that any girl who cared about her appearance would not refuse this pendant.
Seeing such a clear effect, Fischl and the others couldn't help but try theirs out as well.
Thus, bursts of surprised exclamations continuously rang out.
They echoed within Arkz's farm.
Clap! Clap!
Arkz clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention and making them stop exclaiming.
"Everyone, this isn't everything for today."
Fischl excitedly raised both hands and asked enthusiastically,
"Is there anything even better?"
Arkz nodded and stopped being mysterious.
He took out the gadgets he had long prepared from his inventory space: "shield ring, charging pistol."
"The shield ring can summon a Geo Element shield with a duration of about 10 minutes. Based on my testing, during this period, the summoned Geo Element shield can withstand a direct blow from a Mitachurl."
"The charging pistol mimics the firearms of the Fatui and is an elemental weapon. The difference is that it does not restrict ordinary people from using it."
"The charging pistol requires special elemental ammunition to be installed, capable of firing elemental projectiles. Its power level has not yet been tested."
"These two elemental weapons can only have their effects verified in combat."
"So, I'll have to trouble all of you."
After speaking, Arkz didn't wait for the group's reaction and turned to leave.
Watching Arkz's retreating figure, the six members of the Five-Color Squad were silent at first, then erupted into a fierce discussion around the elemental weapons Arkz had left behind.
"Are all Alchemists this exaggerated?"
"They can actually create elemental weapons that even ordinary people can use!"
Barbara shook her head.
"The Knights of Favonius Church also has contact with Mondstadt's Alchemists. Although the gadgets they create are interesting, they also have various flaws and side effects."
"For such an ingenious elemental weapon, perhaps only the Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, Mr. Albedo, could achieve it."
Klee looked at the shield ring and charging pistol in her hands and cheered,
"Brother Arkz is so amazing, just as amazing as Brother Albedo."
On the continent of Teyvat, although those recognized by the gods with a Vision are few, it does not mean that humans are weak.
To become the overlords of this continent, besides the protection of the gods, humanity's own strength is not weak.
Mondstadt's Alchemists, Liyue's Talismans Masters, Inazuma's Onmyoji...
Humanity has never stopped pursuing power.
Even without a Vision, unable to directly control Elemental Power, humans still devise various methods to utilize Elemental Power for their own use.
Therefore, while the group admired the elemental weapons Arkz created, they were not shocked.
This is because Teyvat does not lack such gadgets; they are just prohibitively expensive and extremely rare.
But what if Arkz told them that both of these weapons could be mass-produced?
After the Five-Color Squad finished their testing, and after Arkz made final improvements to these two elemental weapons, he planned to dig a basement beneath the farm to establish an elemental weapon production line.
He intended to use these elemental weapons to cooperate with the Knights of Favonius in exchange for the authorization to build a Joja Supermarket.
Arkz didn't think Jean would choose to refuse.
The appearance of elemental weapons would quickly fill the defensive gaps in Mondstadt caused by the main force being on expedition, and the strength of the Knights' lower-ranking members would also greatly increase as a result.
As for Arkz, he would also earn a large amount of Mora from this.
It looked like a win-win situation from every angle; Arkz couldn't think of a reason for the Knights to refuse.
Moreover, even if the Knights truly refused, Arkz could seek cooperation with Liyue.
He presumed Zhongli would be very happy to equip the Thousand Rock Army with better weapons
