Starry Sky Train, I opened a small shop on the train

Chapter 376, Star: Diluc! RUA~

Barnabas returned to Winter Palace and immediately sensed something was wrong; the atmosphere was very strange.

The rooster, the rich man, and the young girl stood silently at the gate, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Barnabas approached.

What are you three doing standing at the door?

Just as the girl was about to speak, the palace gates were pushed open from the inside, and Asmodeus walked out.

Barnabas met Asmodeus.

"Your Majesty Asmodeus, what brings you to Winter?"

Asmodeus took out a card and tossed it to Barnabas.

"Here are 10 billion credit points. Use them to develop your business. Don't delay too much. Visit Ye Yun's store more often."

Look at Morax, look at Barbatos.

Look at Fu Ningna! Can't you learn from her?
"I had Silver Wolf arrange these 10 billion credits for me. You can use them without worry, and you don't need to pay them back. Just focus on developing Zhidong well, understand?"

Barnabas looked at the bank card in his hand and nodded heavily.

“I understand, Your Majesty Asmodeus.”

Seeing this, Asmodeus reached out and summoned a portal back into Ye Yun's shop.

After Asmodeus left, Barnabas handed the bank card to the rich man.

“Go and withdraw the money. I also borrowed 10 billion from Fontaine, so the total of 20 billion is enough to solve our urgent problem.”

The rich man nodded respectfully upon hearing this.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

Then, Barnabas waved his hand, telling the others to go about their own business.

After returning to the bank, the wealthy person linked their bank card to their account.

The rich man checked his balance and indeed had 10 billion credit points. This was the first time he had ever seen so many credit points.

"As expected of the guardian of justice, so many credits were given away so easily."

Just as the wealthy man was about to withdraw his money, a message suddenly popped up on the screen.

[An unusual 10 billion credit points were detected in the account and have now been recovered.]

Are rich people stunned by this message?

No? What's going on? Irregular funds? Hmm... these funds seem suspicious.

the other side.

Inside the tree house.

Silver Wolf and Asmodeus are playing a game.

Silver Wolf suddenly asked a question.

"What did you buy with the credits you asked me to get for you? Remember to place your order before 2 PM today, or the funds will be taken back."

Asmodeus heard this.

"Huh? Take it back? Why?"

"Silver Wolf said."

"Because this money was stolen from the company, and with the company's technology, they should be able to decipher it and recover it within about this time."

Asmodeus was speechless.

Upon seeing this, Silver Wolf instantly understood Asmodeus's thoughts.

"Don't tell me you gave the card to someone else."

Asmodeus nodded.

"I gave it to Barnabas, so everything should be fine, right?"

Silver Wolf pondered for a moment.

"It's not a big problem; at most, we'll just have to recover the funds."

Upon hearing this, Asmodeus was instantly relieved.

Meanwhile, in an attempt to salvage the meeting, Asmodeus instructed Zhongli to give Barnabas 10 billion credits, telling Zhongli to say it was a gift from him.

As night fell, Xing and the others continued to explore the Genshin Impact dungeons.

I explored all the existing maps of Mondstadt, and the exploration level of all the maps in Mondstadt reached 100%.

Xing was about to head to Liyue, but her movements were restricted. She was told that she had to complete the main quest in Mondstadt before she could go to the next area.

Left with no other choice, Xing had to do the main quest.

Her mission was to retrieve the Sky Harp back then.

After repairing the Sky Harp, she, Venti, Jean, Diluc, and Paimon arrived at Stargazing Cliff.

Here, Wendy played the Sky Harp and summoned Dvalin.

Xing looked at the enormous Dvalin in front of him and thought it was pretty cool. He wished he could ride it.

Tvarin looked at Wendy.

"Barbatos, did you bring these humans to hunt me down?!"

A deep abyss mage was whispering seductively in Dvalin's ear.

Xing was immediately furious. "Hey, you think I'm being too nice to you!"

Xing thinks this plot is very illogical, isn't it? It's just an Abyss Mage, why don't Diluc and Jean make a move?
Why not just take down this Abyss Mage directly?

After the story concludes, Star returns to Diluc's manor.

Diluc found information about the Abyss Order and shared it with Star, Venti, and Jean.

After a series of actions, the story moves to the point where Wendy and his companions head to the Wind Dragon Ruins.

After a "difficult" swift defeat of Dvalin, the Mondstadt storyline came to an end.

Star, sitting on Dwarlin's back, felt very uncomfortable watching Wendy get down to business.

This isn't right, Wendy shouldn't be like this, right?
Xing found it hard to connect the Wendy who was now giving power to Dvalin again with the Wendy who was hungover in the bar.

Aside from their appearance, these two are really not the same person at all, right?

After finishing the Mondstadt storyline, Xing breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to move on to the next location.

Xing walked along the path outside Diluc Manor, crossed a valley, and even jumped in to catch a few fish, putting them in her backpack.

Searching for treasure chests and playing along the way, Xing arrived at the Stone Gate Inn half an hour later.

As soon as Xing emerged from the canyon, his vision suddenly opened up.

Xingyi looked up and saw a river where reeds grew.

Beside the river stands a towering tree that reaches into the clouds, with many walkways and houses built on its branches.

Xing thought for a moment.

"That should be Wangshu Inn, right? Hu Tao said it's a lot of fun there."

Xing glanced at the main road leading to the main thoroughfare and then at the route leading to a small island on the other side.

Xing decisively chose the side path; taking the main road was indeed faster, but the harvest was less!
In these types of simulation games, the greater the danger, the higher the reward.

Xing glanced at the map and decisively decided to stay up all night tonight and grind! For Star Coins, let's do it!
The next morning arrived.

Xing emerged from the dungeon portal with dark circles under her eyes, and she was now full of resentment.

Xing glanced at Zhongli, who was playing chess, and went over to complain bitterly.

"Zhongli! Why are the roads in Liyue so difficult? You climb one mountain, and there's another one right behind you! One after another, I spent several hours last night just to light up all the anchor points in Liyue!"

Zhong Li said calmly.

"This is the terrain of Liyue. There are towering mountains and beautiful scenery over there in Jueyun."

Xingbai's eyes turned white.

"The exploration difficulty in Liyue is much higher than in Mondstadt, it's so troublesome."

Zhongli said upon hearing this.

"The difficulty is indeed much greater, but the rewards are also much more generous, aren't they?"

There's not much to say about Xing; he certainly reaped greater rewards.

"That's true. By the way, I've come across a series of puzzles. Can you take a look at them for me?"

"You mean that Luhua Pond place, can you help me figure out where those two places are?"

Zhongli took the photos Xing handed over, looked at them, and told Xing about the two locations.

Upon hearing this, Xing took out another stack of photos.

There are many large-scale puzzles in Liyue, and the rewards are plentiful. Zhongli answered Xing's questions one after another, and Xing felt there was too much to cover, so she simply took out a notebook and wrote it down.

These are all answers given by Zhongli. What is this? Isn't this a strategy guide?

With Zhongli's guide, wouldn't it be much easier to grind the tasks today?
That's right, Xing isn't planning to sleep. Anyway, she has nothing to do today, so she plans to continue grinding Genshin Impact dungeons later.

This thing is really addictive to play.

At this moment, fireflies emerged from the crack in the cave.

The firefly sat down next to the star.

"Xing, why didn't you come home to sleep last night?"

Xing pointed to the dungeon portal.

"I spent last night grinding Genshin Impact. I explored all of Liyue and opened all the portals."

When Firefly heard Star mention the Genshin Impact dungeon, she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you. I got a five-star weapon called Skyward Blade when I was doing the wish gacha in Genshin Impact."

This weapon can also be extracted into the real world.

After saying that, Liu Ying took out a one-handed sword with a sky-blue blade.

Its design is very ornate, with a bunch of wing-shaped handguards on the hilt, making it look incredibly impressive.

Upon seeing this, Xing's eyes widened.

"Wait, Firefly, you got a legendary gold item? I've done 85 pulls and still haven't gotten it. How many did you pull?"

Fireflies recall a fleeting moment.

"Um, I think it's 30 draws, I think. Anyway, not many. I haven't drawn many. I'll go check in a bit."

Stars stared at Firefly with wide eyes.

"Huh??? Really? You can get a gold item in just 30 pulls? I just can't believe it!"

As soon as Xing finished speaking, Kiana brought Cecilia to Ye Yun's shop.

After witnessing the immense power of Kiana's Athena Valkyrie armor, Cecilia also wanted to try opening a golden trash can.

She also wanted to get a title, a title with special effects that could enhance a person's strength.

Kiana ran to the stars and fireflies.

"Star, Firefly, good morning~ What are you two talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Xing pulled Kiana over.

"Kiana, Firefly said she got a gold item in Genshin Impact in 30 pulls, do you believe her?"

Kiana looked at Xing with a puzzled expression.

"Of course I believe you! I got a gold character in just 10 pulls, the one with red hair, who was it again? The cold-faced guy with the greatsword."

Kiana didn't have much contact with Diluc, so she didn't remember Diluc's name.

Firefly reminded me.

Diluc.

Kiana realized what was happening after hearing Firefly's reminder.

"Yes! Diluc, I got him in one 10-pull."

You know what, using this character to fight monsters is so much fun! You can use your elemental skill three times!
And it's a greatsword character, which is quite expensive; mining is also very convenient, and the weapon has a large attack range!

Xing looked doubtful.

"No? No? Am I really the only unlucky one? I've done 85 pulls! I'm almost at the pity system after 90 pulls!"

Liuying comforted.

"It's okay, Xing, keep going, you'll be guaranteed a minimum score soon!"

Xing chuckled twice and turned her head away, indicating that she didn't want to talk.

As the clock on the wall ticked, more and more people came into Ye Yun's shop.

Xing, Hu Tao, and the others were having a heated discussion about the Genshin Impact dungeon.

Hu Tao also heard about the fact that Xing hadn't gotten a gold card after 85 draws.

"Hey~ It's okay, Star, Diluc is fine too."

Ye Yun said there are more UP characters later on, and those characters are really powerful.

Furthermore, have you noticed that Diluc's attack moves are exactly the same as those of a Hilichurl carrying a torch?

As she spoke, Hu Tao took out her phone and played two videos for Xing and the others to see.

Xing and the others took a look.

"Wow! It's exactly the same! The pose!"

"Send the video to the group chat! I want to see Diluc's expression, hehe, it'll be hilarious!"

"It's bound to break through, right?"

"Not necessarily, Diluc has a cold, expressionless face."

"Never mind, just send it out first."

Hu Tao posted the two videos to the group chat, and then continued.

"Also, I've noticed that Xiangling's damage output is higher than Diluc's!"

Amber was puzzled.

"Why? I have Xiangling too, but her attack power is just average."

Hu Tao said.

"That's because your Xiangling's constellation is weak. My Xiangling has a full constellation, and even Guoba's fire breath damage is higher than Diluc's Elemental Burst!"

As she spoke, Hu Tao took out two more videos.

Comparing the two videos, the Stars realized it was true! Guoba's damage was indeed higher than Diluc's!
Hilarious! The mighty Diluc can't even compare to Guoba!

The video that Hu Tao posted was quickly seen by many people.

Without exception, all of them tagged Diluc after reading it.

Sekiro himself: @Diluc, Judgment! Rua~ A torch is worse than a super move, haha!

Cavalry Captain: @Diluc, Grandpa Diluc, it seems you need to change your fighting style. At least you need to revise your elemental combat skills.

Estelle: @Diluc, did you really not learn swordsmanship from the Torch Hilichurls?
Liu Yun Borrows the Wind True Lord: What are you saying! What are you saying! Diluc is definitely no match for Guoba! I think that's perfectly reasonable!

A female demon god studying middle school physics: Exactly! Exactly! I, Guoba, am a demon god! Isn't it normal that Diluc can't beat me?

Morax: That's true. That's certainly true.

Teyvat's First Bard: Old man, you'd be better off not saying anything.

Star: Judgment! Rua~

Firefly: Judgment! Rua~

Walnut: Judgment! Rua~

Xiangling: No! Why can't I pull myself?! How come everyone else has one? Why don't I? I've done 50 pulls and still haven't pulled myself!

Ye Yun: Xiang Ling, your character is quite difficult to obtain in the regular gacha pool.

Walnut: Oh ho ho! Doesn't that mean my luck is off the charts? I have a fully-fledged Xiangling! [Attached image]

Xiangling: I'm so envious! I want one so badly! @Yeyun, can I switch accounts with Hutao?
Ye Yun: I'm sorry, no.

Xiangling: Can you give me some Mora from the dungeon?
Ye Yun: One raw stone for 180, a chance encounter, want it?
Xiangling: Yes! Give me 100 pulls!
Hu Tao: Xiang Ling! Calm down!
Xing: Xiangling! Calm down!

Kiana: Xiangling! Calm down. Oh, by the way, I also have a character like you at max constellation. [Attached image]

Xiangling: I can't calm down at all! I'm going to act impulsively today! I'm going to spend money on in-game purchases! I'm going to play my own character!
Ye Yun: Let's make a deal in the store.

Xiangling: Coming right away!

[Young Master has joined the group chat]

[A woman joined the group chat]

[Servant joins group chat]

Xing: Hehe, you guys have finally come in.

Walnut: New users receive red envelopes, starting with 1000 Star Coins.

Kiana: Newbie giving out red envelopes!!!
Amber: Red envelope! Red envelope!
