Wu Qiu nodded. "Hmm, by the way, where are we now? Are we still in the Fengshen region? Could this be the Yin Realm office?"

Klee didn't understand what Wu Qiu was talking about. She shook her head with her hands behind her back. "Um—no, we were blown to the foot of Dragonspine by Stormterror, and we're still in the Quetzalcoatl region."

Wu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, the dragon's spine..."

"Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain!!!!!!!!!!"

Chapter 78: God-Level Weapons

"Klee, are you serious? Dragonspine Mountains! Aren't we almost at Liyue? How far have we actually flown?"

Wu Qiu was sweating bullets. Dragonspine Mountains—let's not even talk about how dangerous it is, just the distance! Beyond this point lies Liyue territory. How far have they flown?

Klee shook her head. "No, Dragonspine is far from Liyue. It's also far from Mondstadt, but not too far. Klee promises, Klee doesn't lie."

Keli lowered her head, looking utterly aggrieved. Wu Qiu's heart melted instantly, and thinking about it, it made sense; they weren't blown away by the wind god, how could they possibly fly that far in an instant?

Wu Qiu's voice was so loud that Noelle was actually woken up. She sat up, feeling very weak, after all, she had the most responsibilities in the team.

"Dragon's Spine Mountains? Although it's far, it's still an acceptable distance from Mondstadt."

With a slight smile, Noelle's words completely reassured Wu Qiu. "Then let's hurry back, let's not stay here. Hey, Noelle, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Noelle tried to get up, but quickly gave a wry smile. "Sorry, I might need to stay here..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.

"Hey hey!"

Wu Qiu pounced on him, lying on the ground as a human cushion. Then, Noelle crashed down on Wu Qiu.

"Um--!"

"Heavy, brothers, we don't mean to insult Noelle. It's just that Noelle is quite heavy."

Getting up and helping Noelle to bed, Wu Qiu then asked Klee, "Klee, where are we now? Are there any villages around Dragonspine Mountain?"

“Hmm—” Klee shook her head. “No, this is a temporary outpost at the foot of Dragonspine. Mondstadt scholars prepare everything for their ascent here.”

When Keli said that, Wu Qiu understood. He did remember there was such a base, but it seemed that there were no wooden houses, only tents.

But none of this mattered much. After settling Noelle in, Wu Qiu followed Keli out. As the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in.

Wu Qiu shivered and immediately shrank back. "Holy crap, aren't we at the foot of the mountain? How come it's so cold?"

Klee, however, didn't feel anything at all. "No, Klee feels just right."

"No, I need to put on some clothes, or I might freeze to death."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu turned to walk back. Ke Li grabbed him and pulled him away while saying, "Oh, no need, no need. Let Uncle Harris give you a bowl of soup so you won't be cold."

"Harris? Who's that?" Wu Qiu had never heard of the name. Just as Wu Qiu was wondering, a voice rang out from beside him.

"You're awake? Come and have a bowl of hot soup, don't catch a cold."

Wu Qiu immediately remembered; the voice sounded so familiar, it was like he'd done a quest here before. He remembered that quest clearly—it involved fighting some Giant Snow Boar King, and the worst part was there were no torches! What a rip-off!

Turning his head, Wu Qiu indeed saw a somewhat overweight middle-aged man waving at him. Wu Qiu, enduring the cold, was then pulled over by Ke Li.

As soon as I arrived, the other person handed me a bowl of hot soup. "Here, are you hungry? Drink this soup and you won't feel so cold."

Wu Qiu looked at the steaming soup. His guard told him not to eat anything carelessly, but the cold slapped that guard away.

"We're all freezing to death, what's the point of being cautious?" Wu Qiu picked up the soup bowl and downed it in one gulp.

After eating, Wu Qiu indeed no longer felt cold; it felt as if warmth was circulating around her body, which was very comfortable.

"Another bowl, please!"

Wu Qiu immediately held out the bowl. Keli, also holding a bowl, exclaimed, "Keli wants one too!"

Harris was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty."

In a flash, Wu Qiu and Ke Li managed to eat a whole bag of food at Harris's place. Wu Qiu was extremely satisfied, not only because the food was delicious, but more importantly because it was free; Harris didn't even ask for money.

The reason is unclear. Perhaps it was because they saw that Klee was a Knight of Favonius and had the Eye of God that they treated us to a free meal.

After finishing their meal, the two, one adult and one child, clutching their bellies, strolled through the small settlement. There weren't many people there; most were scholars carrying books. Occasionally, adventurers could be seen as well.

Just as Wu Qiu and his friends were strolling around, a clanging sound rang out. Wu Qiu recognized the sound; it was the sound of a blacksmith striking metal.

Wu Qiu had heard about it when he first entered Mondstadt, but it wasn't convenient at the time. With other things happening afterward, Wu Qiu forgot about finding the blacksmith.

Now, there seems to be a blacksmith here, and Wu Qiu got excited. He picked up Ke Li, carried her on his back, and ran in that direction.

"Hey! Big brother, where are we going?"

Keli looked somewhat bewildered. Wu Qiu didn't answer, his mind filled with thoughts of "If I forge a four-star one-handed sword for Yingjie, she will definitely forgive me."

Thinking of this, Wu Qiu felt that the unfinished one-handed sword he had always carried on his back, which had been almost forgotten by everyone, was so wonderful.

After navigating several bends, Wu Qiu spotted a man. It was a small blacksmith shop, and a burly man was wielding a hammer at the entrance.

His muscles were incredibly developed; each muscle seemed bigger than Wu Qiu's head. With every swing, his entire body trembled.

Wu Qiu excitedly ran over and asked, "Hello, can weapons be forged here?"

Without even looking up, the man casually asked, "Buy weapons, or forge weapons?"

"Create".

Wu Qiu spoke without hesitation. Only then did the burly man in front of him finally raise his head and look at Wu Qiu and Ke Li.

Upon seeing Klee and her Vision, the burly man was visibly taken aback, then asked, "Knights of Favonius? The Knights of Favonius don't lack weapons, do they?"

"No, no, no, I'm not a Knight of Favonius, and the weapon I'm forging is of a very high grade." With that, Wu Qiu placed the prototype of a one-handed sword on the table.

"I want to build a four-star..."

Wu Qiu paused, realizing he had no idea what a four-star weapon was called in this world. So he coughed and said, "Um, I want to use this to forge a sword, a top-of-the-line sword."

Wu Qiu thought the other person would understand what he was saying. But to his surprise, the other person didn't react at all after Wu Qiu spoke for a long time, just staring blankly at the four-star one-handed sword prototype.

"Hey! Bro! Are you crazy?"

Wu Qiu looked at him and waved his hand in front of him. The man still didn't move, until finally, with a loud bang, the huge iron hammer smashed into the ground.

"Oh my god!" Wu Qiu shuddered. Ke Li also exclaimed, "Ah, that's dangerous!"

The hammer made a dent in the ground. And the hammer was only a few centimeters away from his big toe; it almost hit him.

Wu Qiu's thumb was throbbing just looking at it, but the guy still didn't react. Finally, before Wu Qiu and the others could react, the burly man grabbed the unfinished one-handed sword and examined it closely.

"That's right, it is! The prototype of a god-level weapon. I never expected to see it here!"

Wu Qiu was completely bewildered. "God-level? Are you talking about four-star weapons? God-level... I have to say, that sounds better than four-star."

Suddenly, Wu Qiu felt someone staring at him. He turned his head and saw the big man's eyes staring at him. That was really weird.

"What are you going to do? I'm telling you, I'm a decent person, and my sexual orientation is normal."

The burly man grabbed Wu Qiu and demanded, "Where did you get this thing?"

Wu Qiu opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was pulled into the house. Ke Li saw this and hurriedly followed him in.

Inside the room, the burly man held the unfinished one-handed sword as if he were caressing something, looking like a pervert.

"What! You said you found it?!"

Upon hearing Wu Qiu's words, the burly man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He had just asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

Wu Qiu's answer was simple: "I found it."

What else could he say? That it was a gift from the system? Even if he said that, would anyone believe him? Besides, he'd have to explain what a system even is.

"Alright, how long have you had this unfinished weapon? How many blacksmiths have you consulted?"

Wu Qiu felt strange. "It's only been a few months. As for the blacksmith, you're the first one. I usually use this thing as a stick, and it's quite useful for roasting meat occasionally."

Wu Qiu wasn't faking it; the raw meat was really tough. Even after being roasted and smoked over a fire, it still looked brand new. That's why Ying often used this thing to grill meat.

The burly man's eyes twitched, then he suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Wu Qiu by the neck. "I'll kill you!!!"

"Ah! Cough! Help, help me! Spare me!! Let's talk this out..."

After a bit of commotion, the big man finally released Wu Qiu. He plopped back down in his seat, glared at him, and then slammed the unfinished embryo onto the table.

"Cough cough! Ugh—! You, you're fucking insane! If you don't give me an explanation, believe me, I'll take a bomb and kill you with it."

The burly man didn't answer Wu Qiu. Instead, he asked, "Don't tell me that after you got the embryo, you just carried it around aimlessly and even used it to roast meat!"

Wu Qiu nodded, "Yes."

"you!"

The guy stood up again. Wu Qiu quickly hid behind Ke Li, shouting, "You, you, you, don't do anything rash! Ke Li, quick, quick, get the bomb out!"

Keli turned to look at Wu Qiu and said, "Big brother, let's go fry fish together next time? Even though getting caught means being locked up for a whole day, the fish is delicious."

After saying that, she lowered her head and said, "I always break the stick I use to grill fish. If I had this stick, I wouldn't have to worry about that."

(For some reason, even though it's a very serious sentence, why does it feel like a car wheel is pressing down on my face?)

"Okay, okay," Wu Qiu agreed. The burly man over there was about to go crazy, and slammed his hand on the table.

"That's enough, you two!"

Wu Qiu Keli was completely stunned, suddenly feeling that this person was terrifying. Keli then spoke up in a pitiful voice, "Did Keli say something wrong? I'm sorry..."

The burly man shook his head helplessly, sighed, and sat down, saying, "So, you came to me because you want me to forge a weapon of god-level quality for you?"

Wu Qiu nodded, "Yes, yes, this is very important to me, I want to..."

But before Wu Qiu could finish speaking, the guy in front of him shook his head and said, "No, I can't do it."

"what?"

Wu Qiu didn't react. But the big man picked up a two-handed greatsword next to him and said, "The weapon levels are: Refined, Bright Silver, Estimated Yuan, Advanced God, and Divine Weapon."

“Artifacts only exist in legends. You could say that reaching the god-level is the pinnacle of Teyvat weapons. There are only a handful of people in Mondstadt who can forge weapons of this caliber, and I am clearly not among them.”

Chapter 79: The Divine Craftsman

Upon hearing the burly man's words, Wu Qiu understood that this so-called level referred to the star rating in the Genshin Impact game.

Divine artifacts are five stars, advanced artifacts are four stars, so estimated artifacts are three stars, bright silver is two stars, and refined artifacts are one star.

As he spoke, Wu Qiu looked at the greatsword in the big man's hand and asked, "Is this a weapon of the Yuan level?"
