[Atractylodes macrocephala: Life is indeed a weighty subject]

[Xingqiu: Judging from the title, this question ultimately went unanswered. Let's all prepare ourselves mentally.]

[Araki Ichito: Hahaha, I, this great one, will absolutely not cry!]

[Kujou Sara: @ShortVideoSystem, it would be best to give him a close-up shot when the time comes]

The video begins.

Sumeru City, Adventurers' Guild.

Today, traveler Yingmei is still busy earning money to support Paimon.

She approached Catherine. "Miss Catherine, do you have any requests today?"

Catherine had anticipated their arrival and had prepared the request in advance.

"This commission is very important, as it relates to the safety of the residents of Daochenglin."

"Huh? What happened?"

“We recently received news that an area in Daocheng Forest has been polluted. The people living in Daocheng Forest are unwilling to leave their hometown easily, so if the polluted area is allowed to continue to expand, it may cause incalculable consequences.”

"Tinari might know something about Dao Chenglin's problem. Let's go ask him."

[Ying: Paimon is indeed quite difficult to raise]

[Paimon: Is this the time to worry about that? Shouldn't we ask Teacher Ti first what the Dead Zone is?]

[Tinari: The Dead Zone is a unique anomaly in the Sumeru Rainforest region. It not only causes plants to wither but also takes the lives of animals and humans. Do not approach it without the Eye of God.]

[Hu Tao: But the Traveler doesn't have the Eye of God, so why did he accept this quest? And it seems like Catherine specially prepared this quest for him.]

[Tinari: I think it's because she can use elemental power. As long as you can use elemental power skillfully, it won't be a problem.]

[Amber: Judging from the Traveler's appearance, he's probably traveled all the way to Mount Meru, and he seems to know the Tinari quite well.]

[Ningguang: Is this video also about the future?]

In the video, the traveler and Paimon arrive at Huacheng Guo.

When the two found Tinari, he was treating a little boy.

Paimon, who was being very loud, received a warning from Tinari: "Shh, keep your voice down."

The little boy weakly opened his eyes. "Um... Brother Tinari, my head is so dizzy..."

"Am I dying? Waaah... Please tell my mom I shouldn't have disobeyed her..."

"Also, I broke Suna's toy, but I haven't dared to tell her because I'm afraid she won't play with me anymore. I want to apologize to her..."

The little boy looked so weak, it was heartbreaking to see.

"Brother Tinari, I've heard that people turn into birds in the sky after they die. Is that true? I feel like my body is floating..."

[Furina: Is it starting already? I'm not ready yet!]

[Hu Tao: Yeah, this was so sudden!]

[Zhongli: Generally speaking, rationally speaking, the system should first build up the emotions and get people into the situation before taking action. This is probably a smokescreen.]

[Asha: That's Yara? My child, how could this be...] (Normal chat room, but highlighted by the system)

[Tinari: Don't worry, this symptom doesn't seem to be caused by the Dead Zone's influence.]

In the video.

Just as Tinari had predicted.

"Alright, alright, what nonsense. You just have a slight fever. Take your medicine, get some rest, and you'll be lively and energetic again in a few days."

Fortunately it was just a false alarm.

However, Tinari still learned an important piece of information: as mentioned in the request that Luminous had received, there was indeed a problem deep in the forest.

Since it is not just a simple fever, but also accompanied by mental confusion, a sedative is needed.

"Spring Grass" has a calming effect, but it is not suitable for planting in Huacheng, so Tinali does not have any on hand.

Tinari: "I'll go ask the caravan. You go find Cole first and have her prepare the tools for making medicine, and also prepare a set of travel supplies for me."

Asha went to do as Tinari instructed.

"Tinari, is that the new Dead Zone?"

"No, they are completely different things in terms of scale, internal situation, and impact. The only thing they have in common is that they are annoying. Since this is trouble happening in Daocheng Forest, I can't just ignore it."

"Let's contact the caravan first and buy some spring grass from them. We'll also inquire about the polluted area."

[Tinari: Thankfully it's not related to the Dead Zone, otherwise it would be more troublesome]

[Firelight: Tinari, is the work of a forest ranger this busy?]

Paimon: Yeah, it even includes treating children.

[Kavi: The topics of the biophilosophical school also include medical knowledge, and it's normal for Tinari to know these things since he had read a lot of books.]

[Ke Lai: Yes, Master Tinari is the most respected person in Huacheng Guo.]

In the video, the group arrives at the place where the caravan sells its goods.

The other party said that business could not be done now. After some inquiries, they found out that the mechanical parts that their caravan had spent a lot of money to acquire had been robbed by "people".

However, this robber was no ordinary person; he was a mechanical crab.

After stealing the goods, the mechanical crab ran directly into the polluted area deep in the forest.

No one could do anything about it.

Moreover, this mechanical crab is strange; it only steals mechanical parts and doesn't even glance at other valuable goods.

Tinari offered to help the group recover their stolen goods, and the merchant gave him a herb called "Spring Herb," ​​and that's how the agreement was reached.

Tinari devised a plan to lure the crabs out using mechanical parts, which would then be captured by the travelers.

The three set off with their pack animals.

[Arataki Kazuto: A mechanical crab that specializes in stealing parts? Sounds like fun!]

[Elhesen: Could it be that the life the system refers to is mechanical life, and it's searching for parts according to its own ideas, so it's not interested in other goods?]

[Kavi: Research into machine life has been prohibited for many years, hasn't it?]

[Tinari: Maybe someone is secretly researching this.]

[Frinina: Mechanical lifeform? Like the security apparatus in Fontaine?]

[Ying: It should be a machine with independent thinking capabilities, right?]

In the video, the three people are seen leading their pack animals deeper into the forest.

A mechanical crab suddenly appeared, "Gurgle?"

Sensing the presence of parts on the pack animal, it charged towards them without hesitation.

Paimon screamed in fright, "Wow! That's the crab the caravan was talking about! It's charging at us!"

"They do look tough to deal with. Be careful!"

Chapter 51: Is the Mechanical Crab Taking Credit?

Ying assumed a fighting stance, but instead of using the wind element, she used the grass element.

She and Tinari worked together and defeated the mechanical crab in just a few rounds.

[Zhongli: Shouldn't the Traveler be using wind elemental power?]

[Ying: I don't know either, I can only use the wind element right now]

[Nasida: So how do you control the wind element?]

Nasida is now very curious about travelers because she appears in almost every video, including the one reaching out to her in "Happy Birthday".

[Ying: I only touched the statue of the Seven Gods.]

People in the regular chat room were incredibly envious. After all, in Teyvat, only those who possess the Eye of God can use elemental power, and Ying had only touched the statue.

I reckon a lot of people will go touch the Seven Gods statue tomorrow.

In the video.

Paimon: "Hmph, you wicked crab who tried to rob me, now let's see where you run!"

"Gululu?"

"Playing dumb won't work! Tell me, what are you planning to do with all these mechanical parts?"

Ying put her hands on her hips, looked at Paimon, and shook her head: "Paimon, it seems like it can't understand."

Tina: "Hmm, it seems he can't understand complicated questions. You keep an eye on it for now, I'll go look for the caravan's goods nearby."

After a search, Tinari found the goods that the mechanical crab had stolen.

Tinari: "Although I don't know why you stole these goods, they don't belong to you. Stole things should be returned to their rightful owners. Do you have any objections to that?"

"Gulu..."

It seemed to understand, and its whole body collapsed, expressing its disappointment.

Tinari offered it a mechanical part as a reward if it led the three to the contaminated area.

After hearing what Tinali said, the mechanical creature actually nodded, "Gulp!"

Paimon: "He seems very happy."

After Paimon finished speaking, the mechanical crab made two more "gurgling" sounds at her.

Ying: "Does it understand?"

[Erhesen: It seems it can already understand human language to a basic degree.]

[Kavi: However, it is still quite far from being intelligent; currently, it cannot understand overly complex instructions.]

[Kaeya: Could its anomaly be related to the appearance of the contaminated area?]

[Qin: You mean the contaminated area caused it to mutate?]

[Diluc: Without human guidance, it's unrealistic for him to autonomously mutate in a human-like direction]
