Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

"Hmm~"

During the day, Bai Qiyun was awakened by the glaring sunlight. Unidentified birds were having a party in the trees outside the window, and their chirping reached his ears through the window.

He opened his sleepy eyes and got up from the table.

He was working on a new formula until the early hours of the morning last night, and he fell asleep right there on his desk.

Although there was some progress, in the end, it all fell apart with the two Mondstadt wind-attribute specialties, 'Windmill Chrysanthemum' and 'Dandelion'.

Although these two plants contain wind attributes, the wind elemental power within them is so weak that it can be almost ignored.

It's hard to imagine that this is a specialty of a country named after the wind.

However, this may also be related to the characteristics of the wind attribute.

Unlike the other six elements that condense, wind exists in a flowing form, floating in the atmosphere, which is the exact opposite of sedimentary rock elements. Therefore, it is difficult to find condensed forms of wind elements in nature.

Wind slimes are one type, but he can't capture a live wind slime to drive it.

They have no intelligence; they just move around randomly based on instinct.

If it dies, the Wind Slime will turn into slime and disappear from the world.

That kind of material does not exhibit any elemental power and is completely unusable as a creation of wind elemental power.

"Mmm, ah~"

Bai Qiyun stretched his back, which was a little sore from lying down all night.

The bright red sun hanging high in the sky outside the window told him that it was getting late.

"Did you oversleep again?"

The boy walked into the living room, talking to himself.

The room, which originally housed two other people, was now empty.

Only the cold wild mushroom and chicken skewers on the table and a note left behind proved that someone had been here last night.

He walked over, picked up the note and started reading it, while simultaneously stuffing the skewer of food into his hungry stomach.

We went out to find Amber to take her pilot's test. The breakfast I made is on the table; feel free to use it if you don't mind. We'll be back this afternoon.

Although it was unsigned, it was clearly left by Ying.

After all, Paimon can't cook.

After swallowing the slightly fishy-smelling chicken that had cooled down in his mouth, Bai Qiyun took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"That Ying guy might have a talent for being a chef."

Although the dish was rough, the proportions of the ingredients were mostly correct. There were only a few minor 'details' that needed attention.

This is already quite an achievement for a newcomer.

After learning where Ying and Paimon had gone, Bai Qiyun was not too worried.

Although there are dragons lurking near Mondstadt, judging from Ying's performance yesterday, she can at least ensure her own safety, if not fight them off.

Instead of wasting time, you should worry about yourself.

After tidying up, Bai Qiyun headed to the Adventurers' Association reception area on the central avenue of the city.

Compared to yesterday, there was no difference in the number of pedestrians on the street, and the deer hunters were still very popular.

After all, everyone needs to eat.

After walking a few more steps, Bai Qiyun noticed a white-haired boy standing in the same spot where Fischl had been yesterday, talking to Miss Catherine.

He moved closer and took a closer look at the white-haired boy's appearance.

He wore a pair of somewhat worn-out windproof glasses, had bandages on his face, wore a gray shirt with his arms exposed, and blue shorts. He always had a sunny smile on his face.

More importantly, he also had a fire-attribute God's Eye hanging on his left leg.

This guy also has the ability to see the future.

"Bennett, you're finally back. Those old gentlemen were getting quite worried when they didn't see you for the past two days."

The person who spoke was Catherine, an Adventurers' Guild receptionist standing behind the counter, dressed more like a maid than Noelle.

She was wearing a green maid's uniform, which made her look very gentle and graceful.

"Oh? Is that so? Fathers, I'll go check on it later. I'll hand in this task now, Miss Catherine."

The boy named Bennett felt a little embarrassed when he heard his fathers worrying about him.

However, as a member of the Adventurers' Guild, he must prioritize his commissions. Once all of this is done, he will naturally go back.

The "old man" here does not refer to his father.

Bennett was actually an orphan who was rescued from danger by an adventurer, and was then raised by several veteran adventurers in the guild. Over time, he began to call them "Dads".

"Hehe, here are 30 small bulrushes. I've counted them several times, so there shouldn't be any mistake."

Bennett took out some small, deformed rushes from his backpack and carefully handed them over.

The small lamp grass can grow in a wide variety of environments, but it grows abundantly in the Whispering Forest, which is very close to Mondstadt. Most adventurers will go there to pick it after accepting a quest, and Bennett is no exception.

Normally, although this kind of grass grows a lot, it is mostly hidden in a rather secret place, so it still takes him quite a bit of effort to find it.

But when he passed by yesterday afternoon, he was surrounded and chased by a bunch of grass slimes that seemed to come from nowhere, and he ended up picking up this many while running away.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

However, considering his luck, this result is already very good. If he had the same luck as before, he probably would have fallen into the moat in a panic while on the bridge because of Timmy's pigeons flying around, and he probably wouldn't have been able to save these little lamps.

"Hmm, that's exactly 30 plants. Although they don't look very appealing, they meet the client's requirements. I'll give you the client's payment now."

Catherine began to tally the commissions for Bennett that had been recorded in the register.

Meanwhile, Bennett was already selecting new commissions on the commission board.

His fathers' birthdays are coming up soon, and he's eager to take on commissions to earn some money so he can buy them some gifts and make them happy.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Bai Qiyun quickly went over.

Facing a mature, unfamiliar woman, Bai Qiyun was clearly not as relaxed as he was when dealing with Ying.

"Excuse me, is this the Adventurers' Guild?"

Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Catherine stopped searching through the roster and looked up.

The first thing that caught my eye was a boy dressed in a way that was distinctly different from the citizens of Mondstadt.

Black hair and black eyes, dressed like someone from Liyue.

Regardless, since they're currently on Mondstadt's side, Catherine immediately perked up and asked with a somewhat businesslike smile.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Um... is it possible to join the Adventurers' Guild now?"

Bai Qiyun nervously tugged at the hem of his clothes.

He wasn't sure if he could join successfully, and he was a little nervous.

"Oh? You'd like to join the Adventurers' Guild?"

Once she understood the boy's intentions, Catherine's enthusiasm was immediately aroused.

However, she then said with some difficulty, "Normally, I would recommend you to Guild Master Serius for the assessment, but the guild master is not in Mondstadt at the moment."

Bai Qiyun already knew this from Noel, but he was not discouraged.

"Is there any other way?"

Catherine was touched by the boy's enthusiasm. Although she didn't know why the Liyue people weren't registered with the Liyue Adventurers' Guild, she didn't mind that the Mondstadt Guild had one more member since the boy was already there.

Catherine flipped through the booklet in her hand, confirming that her memory was correct.

After all, these things were previously handled by President Serius, so she couldn't quite remember.

"Well... there are still ways."

After finding the page that recorded the membership application process, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the boy in front of her and repeated the contents recorded on it.

"If the guild leader is not here, you can take on an assessment task. After completing it, you can register as a member of the Adventurers' Guild here."

"adventurer."

Bai Qiyun's mind was filled with these three words.

However, he quickly calmed down and realized that he was only using this identity to obtain the Wings of Wind, and did not really want to have a great adventure.

He followed Miss Catherine's gaze and saw a large board covered with all sorts of requests.

While there are some gathering tasks, most are small search tasks within the city, such as finding cats or lost items.

Are these really membership recruitment tasks?

Bai Qiyun looked at Catherine with a somewhat suspicious gaze.

But Catherine was a seasoned receptionist, so she wouldn't feel embarrassed by such things.

She pulled out a power of attorney from under the counter.

It was clearly a task assignment, but unlike the task assignments on the task board, this task required the collection of three special products: fallen berries, windmill chrysanthemums, and small lamp grass, while most task assignments only required the collection of one type.

It really is a fitting initiation task.

"This is the initiation quest for our Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild."

Seeing Bai Qiyun's somewhat excited expression as he eagerly took the power of attorney, Catherine mercilessly poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"However! Induction missions are generally dangerous, so a specialist will accompany you, but... President Serius, who has been handling this matter, is not here, so we can only select another specialist."

As she spoke, Catherine's gaze began to wander.

"But...but...due to the recent dragon scourge, Mondstadt is a bit short-handed...so...uh."

Bai Qiyun realized that no one could take him, a complete newbie, out to take the exam.

I never expected that after everything went so smoothly, I would end up failing here.

How could he accept this?

"If there's no one else... then can't he do it?"

Bai Qiyun casually pointed to Bennett, who was still selecting commissions in front of the commission board.

When Catherine saw who he was pointing to, her face twitched.

"Um...it's not that it's impossible, it's just..."

"For your own safety, you should find someone else." How could she possibly say something like that?

You know, that's Bennett.

Catherine was caught in a dilemma: she couldn't say anything, and she couldn't stay silent.

She maintained her awkward yet polite smile and continued standing there.

I want to come up with a perfect solution.

But at that moment, the white-haired boy heard the noise behind him.

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

Bennett pointed at himself with his index finger, looking somewhat dazed, seemingly completely confused about what had just happened.

"Yes, yes, you're an adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild, right?"

Bai Qiyun nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The more he looked at this person, the more suitable he felt he was.

Firstly, the fact that he's around the same age as me means there's little cost to communicating with him, and the marks on his body indicate that he's experienced.

Most importantly, he also has the Eye of God, which guarantees his combat power.

It's just a small collection task; I doubt the association would set the difficulty level too high.

With someone like that guiding me, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Oh? You're too kind with the 'you' title. I'm just an ordinary member of the Adventurers' Guild."

Bennett scratched his head shyly.

He never expected to be treated this way one day. Given his bad luck, most people would just ignore him, let alone come over to flatter him.

This is truly amazing.

"Then you can definitely do this job, right?"

Bai Qiyun made a decision: even if it cost some Mora, he would deal with this adventurer today.

He didn't want to wait another day; with the dragon calamity continuing, every extra day meant an added uncertainty.

The sooner he gets the Wings of Wind and learns to fly, the better he will be able to protect himself and escape in the wild.

"Being competent at the job means..."

Seeing Bennett's somewhat confused look, Catherine could only sigh inwardly.

Oh well, let's leave it at that. Anyway, the people Bennett takes out will be treated terribly, but at least no one has died, right?

In a sense, it is another form of protection.

Moreover, this task isn't very difficult, so it should be easy to complete... probably.

"Um, Bennett is like this..."

Catherine recounted the entire incident to Bennett.

"Really? That's amazing!"

Upon hearing this special request, Bennett jumped up excitedly.

"Are you really willing to take this adventure with me?"

For some reason, the boy in front of him was more excited than Bai Qiyun himself.

"Oh...oh! Of course!"

Having come this far, how could he possibly back down?

Although this person seems a bit strange, intuitively, they might be a surprisingly good person.

Under Catherine's watchful eye, the two signed this temporary contract, preparing to embark on this extraordinary journey.
