Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

With that, Zhongli walked into the Hall of Rebirth.

Hu Tao skipped and hopped as she walked inside.

Su Hao and his group didn't say much, following behind Hu Tao and Zhong Li as they walked into the Hall of Rebirth.

When Su Hao and his group arrived at the Hall of Rebirth, they found Zhong Li making tea.

As Jiuqi watched Zhongli brew tea, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. He was also someone who could "do everything".

Jiuqi Ren's tea-making skills were naturally not bad either. She could tell that Zhongli's tea-making technique was very natural, as if he was an expert in this art.

"The tea is ready." Zhongli poured the tea into cups and gestured for Su Hao and the others to sit down and talk.

Su Hao, Ella, Jiuqi Ren, and Hu Tao sat down, picked up the cups on the table, and took a sip of tea.

"It smells so good." A hint of surprise flashed in Su Hao's eyes. It was the first time he had ever tasted such fragrant tea.

"Wow, that's impressive, Zhongli." Hu Tao was also a little surprised. She remembered that although the tea from Wangshengtang was of good quality, she herself had never brewed such fragrant tea.

Zhong Li smiled without saying a word. He looked at Su Hao and continued to ask, "Let's continue our previous topic. Did you come to me with something you want to ask me to do?"

Su Hao took another sip of tea, nodded slightly, and looked at Zhong Li earnestly, saying, "Actually, I would like to ask Mr. Zhong Li for a favor."

"I came to Liyue from Inazuma to forge a companion weapon for myself."

Hisahi Shinobu and Ella already knew about Su Hao's purpose.

Hu Tao blinked, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Companion weapon? What's that? Is it a weapon that's with you from birth?"

“That’s the literal meaning.” Zhongli glanced at Hu Tao and slowly explained, “But companion weapons also have another meaning, which is a weapon that grows along with its master’s strength.”

"Such weapons are extremely rare. It is said that even during the War of the Gods and Demons, few people and gods could forge such a weapon."

"After all, the materials required for this kind of weapon are extremely high, the standards for blacksmiths are also very demanding, and a corresponding climate is also needed to forge such a divine weapon that can grow with its master."

With Zhong Li's words in mind, Ella and Jiuqi Ren finally understood why Su Hao insisted on coming to find him.

You're an expert! What does it mean to be professional?! You can tell at a glance that this person is a professional.

"Yes." Su Hao didn't flatter Zhong Li for knowing these things, because if he did, the other party would definitely be modest and say that he only knew a little bit.

At this moment, Su Hao looked at Zhong Li and said very seriously, "I came to Liyue from Inazuma, naturally to collect specific materials."

“I am not familiar with Liyue, so I can only ask Mr. Zhongli to help me find these forging materials.”

As he said this, Su Hao placed a bag full of Mora and a piece of paper on the table.

This is the money entrusted, and the required details.

Zhongli, however, did not accept Mora's offer. He picked up the paper, looked at it carefully for a few moments, and then shook his head slightly, saying, "There's nothing I can do about this."

"????"

A few question marks popped up above Su Hao's head. He looked at Zhong Li's serious expression as he said he couldn't do anything, and he knew... Zhong Li didn't intend to help him collect materials.

As for why, it's not that he can't do it, but that he's simply lazy.

The so-called "no way" was merely an excuse.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Zhongli Joins the Group!

"There's nothing I can do about this."

Zhong Li refused. He did not accept the bag of Mora because if he did, it would mean accepting the contract and having to help Su Hao obtain those materials.

However... it's too troublesome, Zhongli doesn't want to do it, because he knows where the materials needed for the companion weapon are, but he doesn't want to go get them.

However, out of respect for Balzebu, Zhongli took a sip of hot tea, looked up at Su Hao and said calmly, "Because the most important materials inside can only be obtained in the Layered Rock Abyss."

"The Abyss of Laminaria is now sealed, and it will probably take some time before it can be reopened."

Zhongli's words made Jiuqi Ren frown slightly, because she knew very well what the Layered Rock Abyss represented.

As someone who once studied in Liyue, Shinobu Kyuuki knows more than the average Liyue resident, in addition to her strong thirst for knowledge.

Also, she has a senior sister with immortal blood, from whom Kuki Shinobu obtained a lot of information about Liyue.

Regarding the Layered Rock Abyss, Hisahi Shinobu had heard from her senior sister that she originally had a will that was from the Layered Rock Abyss.

However, since the Abyss of Laminaria is closed, there's nothing she can do but wait for it to reopen in the future so she can complete her will.

Even his senior sister, who possessed immortal blood, couldn't open the Abyss of Layered Rocks, let alone strangers like himself.

Therefore, Hisagi Shinobu felt that things were a bit troublesome, and at the same time, he could understand why Zhongli said that he couldn't do anything about it either.

"Is there no other way?" Ella couldn't help but ask, even though they had plenty of time to wait.

Ella also knew that the young master's strength was currently in a stable period, and he lacked a good weapon. If he obtained a good weapon, his strength would increase significantly.

The Fools have their eyes on them; in a sense, they did not defeat the skirmishers and the lady on their own.

It was only with the strength of the general that the stragglers and the lady were defeated, and now they have left Inazuma.

Although Ella had great confidence in Su Hao, she still wanted to make the young master's weapon as soon as possible, so that he would be able to protect himself when facing enemies of the level of the Fools' Enforcers.

It's not that there's no way out.

Zhongli often spoke with heavy breathing. He looked at Ella and Jiuqi Ren and said calmly, "Although these materials are quite precious, not everyone will buy them."

"Because these materials are so precious, they are only used to make specific items, and ordinary people will not choose to buy them, so there is a high possibility of overstocking."

"As it happens, I know a businessman like that. If you'd like to try your luck, I can introduce you to him."

After speaking, Zhongli looked at Su Hao, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Su Hao was not in a hurry at all. He nodded slightly and smiled at Zhong Li, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you. If that merchant doesn't have the materials either, I'll look for another way."

Seeing Su Hao's composure, Zhong Li's eyes flashed with approval. He naturally understood the importance of companion weapons.

Balzebu sent the other party to Liyue to find materials, which probably meant that he had high hopes for him. It is Inazuma's good fortune that he can act so calmly and without arrogance.

Was Su Hao panicked? Not at all, because he had planned to stay in Liyue a little longer, as long as nothing happened on Inazuma's side.

Su Hao even considered taking a trip to Mondstadt and stopping by Mount Sumeru along the way. As for Inazuma... what's the point of going back to that wretched place?

If it weren't for the presence of Coral Palace Heartsea and Kamisato Ayaka in Inazuma, he would have even considered staying permanently in Liyue, since it's safe, the food is delicious, and there are many festivals.

More importantly... the gods of Liyue won't suddenly lose their minds and start harming their own people.

Speaking of this, Su Hao felt helpless. The gods of Liyue protected their people and considered all sorts of things for their future.

Lei Yingdian himself secluded himself in a tranquil haven, while General Leidian acted according to the established rules, regardless of how well others performed.

Once the keyword "eternity" is touched, General Thunder will kill without hesitation, showing no mercy whatsoever.

That's why, even though General Thunder and Thunder Movie treated Su Hao very well, he was still quite afraid. Since he rarely came out to Daocheng, he wouldn't think about going back unless something happened.

"Then let's set off now."

Zhong Li was naturally unaware of Su Hao's inner thoughts, but even if he did, he wouldn't say anything.

“Okay.” Su Hao naturally nodded in agreement. He finished his tea in one gulp, as did Jiuqi Ren and Ella beside him.

Hu Tao waved her hand and said to Zhong Li, "Go and come back soon. I'll stay in the Rebirth Hall and not leave. Maybe we'll have guests while I'm out for a little while!"

Hearing Hu Tao's words, a hint of helplessness flashed in Zhong Li's eyes, and Ella and Jiu Qiren's lips twitched slightly.

If Kurumi had said these words in a different setting or place, Isla and Shinobu might not have reacted at all.

But what kind of place is the Hall of Rebirth? Most of the guests who come here are related to the dead.

Walnut seemed so eager for the guests, and for some reason, Ella and Shinobu felt a little uneasy about it.

Su Hao was already used to it; after all, that was Hu Tao's personality—she was always so impulsive and had seen through the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

For Hu Tao, death is simply going to another world, and her duty is to send the dead to that other world peacefully.

Soon, led by Zhong Li, Su Hao and his group left the Hall of Rebirth.

On the way, Zhongli intentionally or unintentionally chatted with Su Hao, and most of the conversation was about the current situation of Daoqi.

On the surface, Zhongli seemed very interested in Inazuma's current situation, and Su Hao also revealed Inazuma's current situation and pointed out the importance of the Fools among them.

Jiuqi Ren occasionally chimed in, knowing that Zhongli was a learned person, so she also had some questions and wanted to seek his answers.

While saying that he only had a "slight understanding", Zhongli perfectly solved the problem raised by Jiuqi Ren.

This astonished Hisagi, as it was the first time she had ever encountered someone with such extraordinary knowledge.

Ella walked calmly behind without saying a word, but she looked at Zhongli with great surprise.

Ella: "So strong."

[Ayaka Kamisato: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"]

[Yae no Miko: "Oh? What's so strong? Could it be... oh dear, it's daytime now!"]

[Raiden Shin: "...What exactly have you learned over these past few hundred years?"]

[Rahu: "Has something happened in Liyue?"]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Curious."]

[Ella: "Young Master, Miss Shinobu, and I found a very capable person in Liyue. He's incredibly knowledgeable and knows everything."]

[Ella: "Furthermore, the young master knows that the merchant sells the weapon materials he's looking for."]

[Rotaka Dragon King: "Sell? Why not just go and mine it? Although I've been sealed away for a long time, I still know where most mineral materials can be mined."]

[Rotuo Dragon King: "Just go directly to the Abyss of Layered Rocks. While you're there, find an experienced miner. Once you know the approximate location, with the three of you're strong enough, you should be able to mine it easily."]

[Kuki Shinobu: "But something has happened to the Layered Rock Abyss; it has already been sealed by the Seven Stars."]

[Nagarjuna: "Huh?!"]

[Raiden Shin: "Something's gone wrong? He's already been sealed by the Seven Stars? What should we do?"]

[Yae no Miko: "Oh dear, I guess I can only ask Sister Gan Yu for help. As the Seven Star Secretary, she should be able to sneak someone in."]

[Ella: "It's alright. This Mr. Zhongli is a capable person; he has already provided a solution."]

Ella: "Next, we need to go to the merchant who sells materials and see if he has any. If not, we'll have to figure out how to get them ourselves."

[Rotuo Dragon King: "No rush, this is just a matter of Morax saying a word. Once the group leader performs the invocation ceremony and adds Morax to the chat group, I'll just talk to him."]

[Raiden Shin: "While that's one way, I don't know why, Wakata... you wouldn't be trying to steal my Inazuma, would you?"]
