I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

"Hey, Klee, with your knowledge, where would this Snow Burial Star Silver rank among the Divine-level weapons?"

Wu Qiu was genuinely curious. But Ke Li shook her head. "I don't know. This sword seems to be even stronger than the legendary Greatsword of the West Wind that Commander Falgar used. Apart from the book that Mom is holding, I haven't seen any weapon that can rival this sword."

Wu Qiu was not surprised by this answer. After all, judging from its appearance, Wu Qiu believed that the Star Silver Light of Snow Burial was a divine artifact.

Moreover, Wu Qiu had also heard about the West Wind Greatsword, which used to be Falgar's weapon but later disappeared, and no one knew where it went.

But Wu Qiu's investigation revealed something additional about the Star Silver buried in the snow.

Name: Xingyin of Snow Burial

Rank: Four-star two-handed sword

characteristic:?

ability:?

Hidden Attribute: Upgradeable Weapon

"Upgradable weapon"—this was another term I'd never heard of before. But Wu Qiu had a bold idea in his mind.

"Could this thing be upgraded to a divine artifact?"

Is this sword really that powerful?

At this moment, Noelle finally spoke. However, she didn't seem happy; instead, she seemed somewhat inferior.

"Am I..."

"No!" Wu Qiu interrupted her directly. "Noelle, you are so outstanding, what is there to be ashamed of? It is an honor for this sword to let you use it."

"Yeah, yeah, Noelle is really strong. That sword strike was way stronger than Klee's bomb."

Klee spoke up as well. Noelle rubbed her forehead, then shook her head. "I... I can't remember. What exactly happened that day?"

Wu Qiu and Klee immediately looked at each other. That day, Noelle killed the Frost Giant King with a single sword strike, and then she fainted.

Wu Qiu scrambled and tumbled to catch her, preventing her from falling to the ground. Then Ke Li and Shuang Lin also made it through the ordeal, and they returned together.

The matter was simple, but Noelle had clearly contributed the most and given the greatest share of the effort, so they were rightfully treated as honored guests.

Klee and Qiu have been having a really good time these past few days. Of course, if it weren't for the incident where Klee almost blew up the Tree Palace with a bomb, they could have been even more carefree.

"In short, thanks to Sister Noelle, we are very popular in Tree City now."

Klee raised her hands and spoke. Noelle smiled slightly, "Is that so? That's wonderful."

"Let's not talk about that. Noelle, how are you feeling? Have you suffered any lasting effects?"

Wu Qiu's words were quite impolite. Noelle didn't seem to mind, moved her arm, and then smiled and nodded, "Yes! It's all fine now, I've recovered."

"Really?" Wu Qiu asked skeptically. Noelle simply got out of bed and walked around the room a few times. "Look, I'm fine now."

Seeing this, Wu Qiu truly believed that Noelle was alright. Moreover, at that time, Noelle's injuries were clearly healing, like playing a video game and taking drugs—an unimaginable miracle.

Just then, the door opened again, and Shuanglin quickly walked in. Upon seeing Noelle, she expressed her sincere gratitude.

Then, she took out three things. The first was a huge bone, which Wu Qiu and the others had seen before; it was the Cold Bone that had been taken from the Frost Armor King.

"This is the hardest and most precious part of that cold bone. Aren't you looking for Lostan to forge weapons? This is excellent material."

Wu Qiu's eyes lit up. "Really? Is this really for us?"

Shuanglin nodded. "Of course, you deserve it."

After saying that, she pointed to the second item, "Frost Canopy, you've all seen its power, it's perfect for forging weapons."

Wu Qiu's eyes lit up again. Frost Canopy—he remembered that the logbook in Lostan mentioned that as long as he obtained the Frost Armor King's mutated Frostbone, the Snow Giant's Frost Canopy, and the Frostheart Core guarded by the Cryo Registra, he could forge a divine artifact.

Now that we have Frost Canopy and Frostbone, all we're missing is the Frostheart Core.

Wu Qiu looked at Shuang Lin, just staring at her. Shuang Lin shook her head helplessly, "Don't even think about the Heart of Coldness. It's the core of Tree City. Without it, Tree City will be destroyed."

Wu Qiu made a mistake. Shuang Lin then took out the last item and said, "Although I can't give you the Heart-Cold Core, this is acceptable."

It was a huge rock, entirely blue, radiating cold air. The moment it appeared, the temperature in the entire room dropped.

This is the Frostheart Stone, formed from the condensed energy of the Frostheart Core. Although it cannot compare to the Frostheart Core, it is more than enough to forge weapons.

Taking these three items, although they weren't the optimal configuration Wu Qiu wanted, was still enough to excite him.

"Hehe, hehehe..."

After chuckling for a while, Wu Qiu suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, where is Lostan now? And you and that Frost Giant King both seem to hate him a lot."

Mentioning Lostan, Shuanglin couldn't contain her emotions. She took several deep breaths before speaking, "That guy, a few years ago, secretly infiltrated Tree City, and I discovered him, leading to a battle."

"Although he wasn't very strong in combat, he had a bunch of strange weapons. And Frost was sent flying by one of his strange contraptions during that battle."

In just a few words, Shuanglin revealed the hatred she harbored for Lostan. Wu Qiu was dumbfounded: "Shot away? How much force would it take to send someone flying that far?"

Shuanglin shook her head. "I don't know. I can't find Xue'er. I only know that she flew out of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain range. That's all I know."

Wu Qiu didn't know whether to thank Lostan for the order or hate him. Hate him? But it was because he himself encountered Shuangxue, which led to Binghen, and it was because of this that he was able to survive Shuanglin's clutches.

That's why they were able to face the Frost Giant King together when he later attacked. In this respect, Lostan indirectly saved Tree City.

But she didn't hate him, because he had caused the two sisters, Shuanglin and Shuangxue, to be completely separated. Wu Qiu could sympathize with this kind of pain, since Ying had also experienced it.

"If you want to order from Lostan, there is a place where you might be able to find it."

Shuanglin took a deep breath and spoke. Wu Qiu hurriedly stepped forward, "Where?"

Turning her head, Shuanglin looked in one direction: "Starry Cave".

Chapter 100: Starlight Cave

"Xingying Cave?"

Wu Qiu was very familiar with this name. He remembered that there was a challenge at the bottom that he had to complete before he could continue the mission.

That challenge was quite difficult, especially the last two ice-type abyss mages floating on the water; they were really annoying.

However, the Starry Cave in this world is definitely different from what Wu Qiu imagined. After all, what Shuang Lin said next was completely different from what Wu Qiu thought.

"Starlight Cave is a natural cavern with a complex interior and is a Hilichurl's lair. However, with the death of the Hilichurl Frost-Armored King, there is not much danger there anymore."

"But these are only the top two levels of the Starry Cave. Further down, at the very bottom, there are no living creatures, because it is filled with all sorts of traps and strange machines."

“Although I haven’t seen him there, only Lostan could have done this. If you’re looking for him, that’s the most likely place.”

At this point, Wu Qiu roughly understood. Lostan was very likely hiding at the bottom of the Starry Cave, and there should be many traps there.

However, none of that matters. With everyone's current fighting strength, getting through shouldn't be difficult. After all, the machinery Lostan made can't possibly be stronger than Shuanglin's. If it were stronger, the Heart-Cold Core would have been stolen long ago.

Tree City had just been attacked. Although the Frost Armor King and the Frost Giant King were both dead, Tree City needed Frost Lin, so she couldn't go with Wu Qiu and the others.

Two days later, the three left Tree City and headed towards Starlight Cave. This time, their journey was much more comfortable.

Wu Qiu was still wearing that leaf-covered outfit; although it let in the wind, it wasn't cold. Noelle's armor was also tattered, but with the Snow Burial Star Silver armor, she wouldn't get cold.

And so, the three of them spent half a day climbing the snow mountain, and finally arrived at the entrance of Xingying Cave in the afternoon.

It was a large cave, completely dark inside, unlike the bright light in the game. Moreover, just looking into the cave from the entrance felt like gazing into an abyss.

"That's scary."

Klee shrank her neck.

Yes, yes.

Wu Qiu, who was hiding behind Noelle, also spoke up. Wu Qiu had always been afraid of the dark, and although he was no longer afraid now, he still trembled at the sight of these things.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Noelle was the first to go in. Wu Qiu, though trembling, pulled Keli along and followed behind.

It was very dark inside, and Keli held a small flame in one hand to provide light. Her little hand was tightly clasped with Wu Qiu's; at the slightest sound, the two of them would immediately hug each other for comfort.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, until finally they saw a light ahead.

"arrive!"

Keli and Wu Qiu exclaimed in surprise. In this dark space, the light was like an oasis in the desert, bringing tears to their eyes.

They ran quickly and emerged from the cave into a vast space. Upon seeing what lay before them, Wu Qiu's excited expression turned to shock.

Just like in the game, it's a huge space. It's huge, much bigger than in the game, and it's filled with giant, glowing ice crystals that illuminate the entire space.

There, several intricate suspended roads intersect, making it a headache for Wu Qiu to even look at, let alone walk through them.

There was a path in front of them, and Wu Qiu didn't even know if it went up or down. Below was an abyss, and Wu Qiu didn't know how deep it was.

"Damn DJ, how do I get there?"

Wu Qiu complained. Noelle arrived at the edge of the abyss. "Flying down from here using the Wings of Wind should be fine, right?"

Wu Qiu nodded. "Logically, there shouldn't be a problem, but isn't there supposed to be a trap here? We'd better be careful."

After saying that, Wu Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's it! We can slide down!"

As he spoke, Wu Qiu waved his right arm, and an ice path made of solid ice appeared, extending downwards in a spiral.

At the same time, Wu Qiu also built a huge ice boat, and just like that, a simple spiral slide was completed.

Wow! Yay!!!

Klee clapped her hands happily, and Wu Qiu was also quite proud. Only Noelle stammered, "Shouldn't your ability be used to fight like Shuanglin? Why does it feel a bit strange in your hands?"

Wu Qiu was immediately embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "Support, I'm the support, understand?"

Noel didn't say anything, just covered her mouth and laughed. Wu Qiu's face turned even redder, and she pushed them towards the ship, saying, "Come on, let's hurry up and set off."

Stepping onto the ice boat, Wu Qiu pushed his foot forward, and the entire boat slid down.

"Wow!!!! That was awesome!!!"

Wu Qiu roared, but he quickly regretted it. First, he needed to condense the ice channel before the ship arrived, since he didn't even know the situation below, and it was impossible to condense it all at once.

Secondly, this thing is freaking fast! Wu Qiu was just groaning and moaning at first. Awesome!

After a while, Wu Qiu, holding Noelle and Klee, turned pale. This thing was even more ferocious than the last time Ying carried him down the mountain; its speed was countless times faster.

The only advantage is that the space here is large enough that Wu Qiu can effectively summon the ice path. Otherwise, given Wu Qiu's current state, they would have fallen long ago.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Wu Qiu seemed to hear a whooshing sound. Before Wu Qiu could react, Noelle pulled him aside.
