Genshin Impact, but the chat group

Wendy wholeheartedly agreed. Everything in this other world was new to them, and they were filled with curiosity about these new things. It would be too boring if they could only watch terrible movies show off their power.

"Alright, I'll protect Li Yue from the rear. You can handle the front."

"No problem, leave the rest to us!"

Hu Tao patted his fire A and assured him.

"So, according to the rules of adventurers in this world, the Crusader is usually supposed to stand at the front to block the monster's attacks, while the rest of the teammates provide support and attack from the side."

Li Yue began explaining the rules to everyone.

"I see. So, I should stand at the very front?"

Zhongli stepped out of the group and walked alone toward the giant bear.

The giant bear was initially puzzled as Zhongli approached, but it immediately flew into a rage as Zhongli drew nearer. It knew that this was yet another human adventurer who wanted to defeat it.

"Ho~~~"

The giant bear roared and swung its massive paw at Zhongli.

Zhongli instinctively spread his arms to activate his shield, but Wendy immediately reminded him.

"Zhongli, be careful! You can't use elemental power here!"

Zhongli, who was about to activate his shield, froze for a moment, and then was slapped away by the giant bear!

puff--

Wendy couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What he saw was the invincible Rock King of Teyvat being slapped away by a bear!

Li Yue's lips twitched incessantly, but he forced himself to hold it in, even appearing very concerned.

"Hey! Zhongli, are you alright?!"

"Ahem—it's nothing, just an accident from my first attempt."

Zhongli climbed up from the mound of earth not far away, patted the dirt off his body, and looked somewhat embarrassed.

He had just told Hu Tao that elemental power could not be used in this world, but he had forgotten and almost used elemental power to activate the shield just now.

However, Wendy was definitely doing it on purpose. He could have reminded me earlier, but he only did it when I was about to activate my shield. This guy was deliberately trying to make me look foolish!

Wendy is laughing like she's doing something wrong!

"I will be prepared for the future."

Zhongli flicked his right hand, and a long spear with a Danxia orange color appeared in his hand. Li Yue recognized it at a glance: a trashy five-star spear called Piercing Rainbow Spear!

While it's true that the weapon in the game is useless, it's definitely not like that in reality; this is the sidearm used by Zhongli.

Holding his spear, Zhongli once again approached the Giant Bear. This time, he was going to put his renowned martial arts skills from Liyue to good use!

Then, he was slapped away by the giant bear again!

"Pfft hahaha!!"

This time, Wendy laughed even louder. Even Li Yue couldn't help but bend over and laugh. Even Nasita, who was usually rather dull, laughed. Hu Tao even rolled around on the ground with Wendy.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Zhongli always seemed so calm and carefree in Liyue Harbor, but now that he's in this other world and can't use his elemental powers, he's turned into this. It's so funny! This trip to the other world was totally worth it!"

"Why!?"

Zhongli was very puzzled as he stood up from the mud.

"It's a difference in strength, Zhongli. The difference in strength between you and the giant bear is too great."

Li Yue explained while suppressing a laugh.

"So, all I can do is dodge its attacks? Aren't Crusader Knights supposed to protect their teammates?"

"That's right, provided that your strength is enough to hold your own against the opponent, and clearly, your strength is not yet enough to hold your own against this giant bear."

To put it simply, it's about strength. If he were to use elemental power, Zhongli could definitely crush this giant bear with one hand. However, without the ability to use elemental power, Zhongli's physical strength is really not up to par.

Moreover, even if Zhongli's arm strength is strong enough, his weight is too light. The giant bear can easily use its weight advantage to knock Zhongli away, and Zhongli is currently unable to use his elemental power.

"What should I do?"

Zhongli didn't know what to do at first.

"Let's figure out a way to avoid its attack first!"

Zhongli finally stopped walking leisurely. After being knocked away twice, the Emperor gave up his leisurely stroll in the mortal world and started running.

Soon, this man, who had spent his entire life wielding a shield and leisurely strolling around the continent of Teyvat, finally learned how to dodge after being swatted away five times on his first day in this other world!

Wendy's theft was ineffective against the giant bear, and Narcida's dispelling of the curse could not help Zhongli at all. As a result, after Zhongli and the giant bear were entangled with each other for nearly half an hour, Hu Tao exhausted all her magic power and used her first burst spell in this other world to kill the giant bear. Then she herself collapsed due to exhaustion of magic power.

The same voice actor, the same explosive magic, the same instant knockdown, the same A-level rating—Li Yue, carrying Hu Tao on her back, felt a very complicated feeling.

Although it's unknown how it felt for Kazuma to touch Huihui's thighs while he was carrying her on his back, Li Yue said that it felt really nice to touch Kurumi's big white legs!

179. Dodge, then deal massive physical damage.

"This is not quite what I imagined."

"This is not quite what I imagined."

Inside the Adventurers' Guild, Zhongli sat at a table with his hands folded under his nose, adopting a posture reminiscent of Commander Ikari. Opposite Zhongli, Lei Yingdian sat upright.

In their imaginations, the adventure in the other world should be unparalleled. However, one of them was too powerful and was suppressed by Li Yue, while the other could not show his power because he was hiding his identity. As a result, he couldn't even fight against a giant bear.

Transforming into Zhongli greatly limits his strength and weight, making it exponentially more difficult for him to fight large enemies without using elemental power.

Despite his impressive spear-wielding skills and classic spear kicks that inflicted tons of physical damage on the giant bear, he couldn't kill it. In the end, it was only thanks to Hu Tao's newly learned explosive magic that the bear was finally defeated.

Throughout the entire campaign, neither Li Yue nor Ying made a move; only the other four people did.

However... Zhongli, who can only dodge and can't take any damage, Venti, who does nothing but steal, Narcida, who only used Holy Dispel after being tricked by Venti, and Kurumi, who only knows Explosion magic and can only be hit once before being knocked down, is basically a Teyvat version of Kazuma's team.

As a result, Wendy was thoroughly enjoying the show, Narcida felt guilty for not being able to help Zhongli, Zhongli was speechless at his complete inability to withstand the monster's attacks and could only dodge from beginning to end, and Kurumi was still lying on the bench next to them with a peaceful expression.

"I think it's great! You've integrated very well into this world and performed exceptionally well!"

Li Yue looked at Zhong Li, who was speechless, and gave her evaluation with a grin.

“Zhongli, you were too leisurely in Teyvat before, doing nothing but walking. This time, your exercise level is probably higher than your exercise level in the past year. I think that’s great.”

"Exercise is no problem."

Zhongli lowered her hands from under her nose.

"But at least it gives my sport some value."

Zhongli looked at Wendy as she spoke.

"As a wind spirit, shouldn't you be able to use elemental power? Why didn't you use elemental power just now?"

Wendy shrugged and gave her reasons.

"Since we've come to another world, it's best to follow the rules of this world. General Thunder is being held down by Li Yue, so if I use elemental power, wouldn't that be pointless?"

"So it turned out I was the only one getting beaten up in front of everyone?"

Zhongli has lived for thousands of years and has never experienced anything like this, not even during the War of Demons and Gods. He was being beaten alone in front of everyone while a group of people watched the show from behind, and in the end, he had to rely on Hu Tao's explosive magic to end the battle.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhongli, I couldn't help you either."

Nasida, standing to the side, began to blame herself again.

“It’s alright, Nasita, this has nothing to do with you. Your divine dispelling spell is of great help to us, but we just don’t need it for the time being.”

"And what about me, Zhongli?"

Hu Tao lay on the bench, unable to move, and asked Zhong Li.

"Master Hu is naturally the person who has helped me the most. If it weren't for Master Hu's decisive action, I don't know how much longer I would have been entangled in the fight with the giant bear."

Zhongli was genuinely grateful to Hu Tao. If Hu Tao hadn't intervened, he probably would have had to deal tons of physical damage to slowly kill the giant bear.

"Oh dear, it's good that you know I deserve credit, but I didn't expect that this explosive magic, besides being powerful, would actually paralyze me and make me collapse to the ground. This thing consumes too much energy."

"Will you still use it in the future?"

"Of course we'll use it! This is so exciting, it's way more fun than elemental power. It would be a waste not to use it!"

Kurumi's words gave Li Yue reason to suspect that if she stayed in this world for too long, she would become like Megumin. But isn't Kurumi casting Explosion spells in Teyvat quite interesting?

"Although today's first expedition was somewhat tortuous, at least the result was good, and you have begun to integrate into the rhythm of this world."

"That's true. Coming into this world, we all have our own gains."

Although Zhongli suffered the most in this campaign, he strongly agreed with Li Yue's statement. Abnormal resistance could indeed reduce the effects of wear and tear, and it could be continuously upgraded with enough skill points. It could even work on demon gods. This world is truly amazing.

Since Lei Yingdian has already transformed his body into the Thunder General, making him a puppet, he isn't worried about wear and tear. Narcida is still young, and it's too early for her to withstand wear and tear. Zhongli and Wendy, those two old guys, are the real main force that needs to withstand wear and tear. Right now, one of them can develop abnormal resistance on his own, while the other can rely on Narcida's future divine dispelling ability to offset the wear and tear. Their biggest gain from this trip is probably finding a way to solve the problem of wear and tear affecting them.

"So, there are two more requests left. Shall we go about them?"

"Of course I'll do it! I already know how to deal with the monsters in this world."

Yi Zhongli is full of confidence. Although he was knocked away by the giant bear five times, he was never knocked away again after he learned that the mouse had a right click. As for dodging, I, the Rock King Emperor, can also use it!

"I'm fine with that too. I was observing when we were dealing with the giant bear. Now, I can be an archer and provide support from the rear."

When they were fighting the giant bear, Wendy was just watching the show. Actually, as a thief, he can also shoot arrows, and he already has a Skybow with him.

"In that case, let's rest for the night, wait for Walnut to recover, and then continue with the subjugation quest!"

"no problem!"

"Agree!"

Lei Yingdian, on the other hand, seemed rather dull, and her desire to communicate wasn't very strong.

However, Li Yue didn't force her to participate in the exchange; it was already quite good that she was willing to come out and play with everyone.

After a night's rest, Hu Tao's magic was restored, and the group set off from Axel again to carry out the subjugation missions. One was a pack of black wolves, and the other was armored crabs by the water. The black wolf pack was simple; although there were dozens of wolves, they couldn't cause any trouble for Zhong Li, who had learned to dodge.

Zhongli easily dodged the black wolf's pounce, then retaliated with a shot that dealt massive physical damage to the wolf, killing it. Wendy also kept firing arrows from a distance, killing the black wolves one by one. Although Wendy's archery skills looked terrible, the black wolves were incredibly good at catching his arrows, always managing to catch them at strange angles before collapsing to the ground. Even Hu Tao grabbed her Homa Staff and charged into the wolf pack, stabbing them relentlessly.

On the contrary, in dealing with the third commission, the armored crabs by the water, these crabs, which are up to 2 meters tall, have incredibly hard shells, so Hu Tao had to step in again and use explosion magic to kill them. Li Yue and his group also obtained several giant crabs from the edge of the area that had been roasted by the explosion magic.

Compared to the first day when they were completely unaccustomed to it, they adapted much faster on the second day. Except for Nasita, who was still not very useful for the time being, Lei Yingdian, who couldn't take action, and Li Yue, who was just watching, everyone else found their own adventurer mode.

After all, Venti can't afford to be too lazy. If he keeps lagging behind in the other world, he'll get kicked by Zhongli when he gets back to Teyvat!
