Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 2 Mondstadt

[Defeat powerful enemies and gain 5 experience points. 】

A black-backed bass was knocked unconscious by Li Qiuzhi with a stone.

Fishing is more difficult than imagined, especially for Li Qiuzhi who is not proficient in it.

Without any tools, he got soaked and only caught three. Each of them only gave him 5 experience points, a total of 15 points, which was much worse than the slime.

Adding the original 32 points, he only has 47 points, which is still a long way to go for leveling up. He remembered that it was night before he traveled through time, and it has been a while since he came here. Judging from the direction and height of the sun, it should be morning.

Experience points cannot be gained all at once, it is time to go to Mondstadt. Otherwise, if we don’t find a place to stay before nightfall, it will be too dangerous in the wilderness where monsters and wild beasts roam.

He is still just an ordinary person now and cannot deal with monsters that are too powerful.

Not to mention the Hilichurls, even a wolf could kill Li Qiuzhi, ending his journey in Teyvat.

This is not what Li Qiuzhi wants, and he must remain cautious.

Starfall Lake is not too far from Mondstadt. He remembered that on the game map, one could see Mondstadt by following the road through the Whispering Forest. He wondered if there would be any discrepancies.

I hope not.

Li Qiuzhi was walking on a muddy field road, holding three black-backed bass tied together with vines in his hands.

He felt a little regretful because the fish had wet his clothes, and the wind was chilly, and he was worried that he would catch a cold.

It's all because of your eagerness to experiment with the character panel. Li Qiuzhi, Li Qiuzhi, you should be more stable and cautious.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually extremely excited about having a character panel, and only now did he calm down a little.

The road from Starfall Lake to Whispering Forest is unexpectedly long. It seems that reality is much larger than the game. This is not surprising. The information provided in the game may be correct, but it is not complete.

Just like this stretch of road, in the game it would only take tens of seconds to control the character to walk through it, but now he has been walking for more than ten minutes before he sees any traces of trees in the forest.

Li Qiuzhi warned himself in his heart that the information he had obtained from the game could only be used as a reference and could not be blindly used as a standard, as reality was much more complicated than games.

We continued walking for a while and entered the Whispering Forest. The environment was much darker because the dense leaves and branches blocked the sunlight.

Although monsters are not everywhere, there are still wild beasts in the forest, so you need to be more vigilant.

But at this time he was walking on the forest road, where adventurers and patrolling Knights of Favonius often walked, and wild beasts generally would not approach here.

But when we arrived in Mondstadt later, how could we find a place to stay?

Without Mora, there was nothing worth selling. Li Qiuzhi glanced at the black-backed bass in his hand. How much Mora could it be worth?

Li Qiuzhi was a little worried about this.

Forget it, there is no other way but to go to Mondstadt first. By then, even sleeping on the street will be better than in the wild.

Suddenly, a voice came from the front:

"Huh? Are you an adventurer from Liyue? Why are you all wet?"

Li Qiuzhi looked in the direction of the voice, and first saw a fair face with curious eyes, and then was attracted by the cute red bunny ear knot on the head. There were goggles hanging on the collar, and a familiar name was about to come out.

——Little Angel Amber.

Li Qiuzhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet someone he knew so soon. He remembered that when they were exploring the big world and solving puzzles, it would have been a lot of trouble if Amber was not in the team.

Li Qiuzhi remembered Amber's identity in Mondstadt very clearly. "Scout Knight Amber is here to report." This sentence seemed to still ring in my ears. And she thought I was an adventurer from Liyue?
That's right, isn't he a Liyue person from the outside? But how should I answer? Should I admit it?

The Traveler has great power and can say that he is from outside the world, but he doesn't have that, and reality is much more complicated than the game.

Isn't it putting yourself in the spotlight if you give yourself the identity of a stranger? It will be troublesome if you get some malicious looks.

But he is not an adventurer. After all, as an ordinary student, he can't pretend to have the temperament or habits of an adventurer.

As his thoughts turned, Li Qiuzhi showed a depressed expression and said in a lost tone:
"I am indeed from Liyue, but I am not an adventurer. I am just an unlucky guy who wanted to come to Mondstadt to trade with Liyue specialties, but was robbed of all their goods by a group of treasure hunters." This is reasonable to say. After all, the prices of specialties from different regions do vary greatly. There must be many people who bring specialties from their own region to other regions to sell.

During the transportation of special products, not only do we have to guard against the monsters like the Hillichurls, but we also have to guard against the treasure-stealing group. Aren't they specialized in this business? It's completely reasonable to put the blame on them.

"Has another group of treasure robbers appeared near Mondstadt? Looks like we need to go back and report to strengthen patrols in the surrounding area."

Amber looked at the slightly disheveled Li Qiuzhi, whose clothes were dirty and wet, and who was holding a fish in his hand. She imagined how he had been robbed by a group of treasure robbers and abandoned in the wilderness, and how he was so hungry that he went to the lake to catch fish, and how he had no fire and could not swallow the raw fish.

Enthusiastic Amber looked at Li Qiuzhi with pity:
"The treasure-stealing group is really despicable, but don't worry, since you have met me, I will not let you wander around. Come back to Mondstadt with me first. You must change your clothes, otherwise you will get sick from the cold."

Amber could clearly see the difficulties faced by the young man from Liyue, and since rescuing others was the duty of the Knights of Favonius, she lent a helping hand without hesitation.

Hearing Amber's words, Li Qiuzhi felt relieved from the bottom of his heart and stretched out his right hand to express gratitude:
"Thank you, thank you very much. My name is Li Qiuzhi, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Amber was wearing brown gloves, and she took them off without hesitation. A sunny smile appeared on her fair face, and she shook hands with the young man:
"I'm Amber, the scout knight of the Knights of Favonius!"

[Amber has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 20 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.1 (20/100)]

Feeling the warm body temperature transmitted from Amber's hand through her skin, Li Qiuzhi felt that even though her clothes were soaked, she was not that cold.

Looking at the prompt for gaining favorability, is there 20 points of favorability just by knowing each other? This may be related to Amber's helpful personality. There is still a long way to go to reach the maximum level.

Trying to find opportunities to gain Amber's favor is also a way to improve yourself. When you reach the maximum level, you can get the blessing of the constellation. Such a difficult condition must bring good abilities.

Well, it’s good to have ideals. What if they come true?

With Amber, the scout knight and owner of the Eye of God, Li Qiuzhi doesn't have to worry about encountering danger in the Whispering Forest.

This forest is much larger than expected. In the dim environment, one can sometimes see the blue and white fluorescence emitted by the small lamp grass. While following Amber to Mondstadt, Li Qiuzhi tried to inquire about the situation in Mondstadt.

For example, there hasn't been any serious incident in Mondstadt recently, so he was indirectly asking whether the Wind Dragon incident had occurred. Amber was puzzled for a moment, and said that Mondstadt had been very peaceful recently.

Continuing to chat with Amber, according to the information she inadvertently revealed, Li Qiuzhi could probably be sure that the traveler Ying or Kong had not yet arrived in Mondstadt, and the plot probably had not yet begun.

This is good. Although it was not shown in the plot, the dragon disaster still had a serious impact on Mondstadt. He didn't want to be attacked by the dragon disaster without any preparation.

I don't know how many experience points I can get by defeating the Wind Dragon. No, this is too dangerous. It is not something that a weak like me can participate in.

As his thoughts raced, Li Qiuzhi saw that the environment was gradually getting brighter and he was finally about to walk out of the forest.

"Li Qiuzhi, come up quickly and look to the right. This is Mondstadt!"

Amber suddenly started to jog, her legs in white over-the-knee boots swinging gently, and she ran out of the forest and onto the road. Then she turned around and waved to Li Qiuzhi.

The not-so-scorching sun's rays made her already fair face even more dazzling. The red bunny ears on her head swayed slightly, making her look so sunny and cute.

We are finally here, Mondstadt.

Li Qiuzhi quickened his pace and looked into the distance. What came into view was the thick city wall, the only stone bridge with pedestrians surging on it, and horse-drawn carriages carrying goods passing by.

"How is it, spectacular, right? Hehe." Amber asked with a smile.

"Well, this is the first time I've seen such a magnificent city wall."

Li Qiuzhi chose to speak in a way that suits his identity. After all, Liyue has no city walls.

Walking further forward, Li Qiuzhi caught a glimpse of the teleportation anchor point on the hill on the left. Amber noticed his gaze and said without stopping:
"These strange devices are very common. No one knows what they are for. Just ignore them."

"Yeah, we can often see them in Liyue."

Li Qiuzhi answered casually. He knew that the teleportation anchor point of Teyvat was not just a setting, but should be a technology that uses the earth veins for long-distance transfer. However, for the time being, only travelers can use it, and he doesn't know why.

It would be great if I could use it myself, and give it a try when I have the chance.
