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

"Holy crap!"

Wu Qiu's body was halfway out of the opening, and he almost fell. If Ke Li hadn't grabbed him at the last moment, he would have been completely ruined.

Back on the ship, Wu Qiu was still shaken, but he didn't blame Noel. Just moments before, he'd seen a throwing knife whiz past his ear; a hair's breadth away, and he would have lost an ear.

It was only then that Wu Qiu noticed that many mechanized objects had appeared on the surrounding walls at some point. Among them, he saw some cylindrical objects that were firing throwing knives at them like machine guns.

"What... what's going on?"

Wu Qiu looked at the throwing knives constantly striking Noelle's breastplate and spoke. At this rate, even Klee would be in danger without Noelle.

"It seems the owner here doesn't welcome us very much."

Noelle seemed quite relaxed, after all, this level of attack was like a tickle to her, posing no real threat.

"Oh no, they're going to sabotage the ice track."

Wu Qiu suddenly noticed that the location of the flying knives had changed, and they were now heading towards the ice path in front of them.

It should be noted that the ice paths Wu Qiu created were not sturdy; ordinary ships would break if they went over them, and if they were hit, they would be completely finished.

But it was too late to react. Wu Qiu could only watch as the flying knife struck the ice path, and then their ship shot off.

"what!!!!!!!!!"

Just when Wu Qiu thought it was all over, Ke Li spread her hands, a burst of light appeared, and a giant four-leaf clover appeared in the sky, which actually formed a parachute.

Grabbing the four-leaf clover, Noelle grabbed Wu Qiu with her other hand, finally averting the crisis. Although the throwing knives were still coming, they couldn't break through Noelle's shield at all, and they could see the ground below. It could be said that they had passed the first hurdle.

Wu Qiu didn't know if there was any danger ahead, but he knew that Lostan was a real bastard who attacked without giving anyone a chance to speak.

Upon landing, Wu Qiu found the place completely different from what he had imagined. The Starry Cave had clearly been modified, with mechanical traces everywhere.

At the very back, there is a passage, and at the end of the passage, a large door is clearly visible. Without a doubt, that is where Lostan is now.

"Fuck you!"

With his arms bare and sleeves rolled up, Wu Qiu walked up to him. He decided that he would deal with forging weapons later; he had to beat him up first.

But just as Wu Qiu approached the passage, an ice wall suddenly appeared at the entrance. Immediately following, a series of thuds followed, as five ice walls blocked Wu Qiu's path.

Before Wu Qiu could figure out what was going on, three figures rose from the ground and stood in front of him.

Those were two Relic Heavy Machines and one Relic Hunter.

Chapter 101: Are you Lostan's order?

The two Relic Heavy Machines are level 40, and the Relic Hunter is level 45. You probably think I panicked and chickened out, right?

Yes, that's right, I chickened out, but I didn't panic. After all, Noelle and Klee were standing right next to me; how could I possibly be in danger?

So, Wu Qiu hid behind Noelle and said the most hateful words in the most cowardly tone, "Lostan, you're doomed! Don't do anything rash! We mean no harm, if you're willing to come out! We won't do anything to you!"

No one responded, but the three steel behemoths didn't make a move either. After a long while, just as Wu Qiu was becoming impatient, a voice seemed to rise from the horizon.

"What are you doing here?"

It was an old man's voice, Wu Qiu was certain. But where the hell was that coming from? Why couldn't he see anyone?

However, the fact that they asked meant there was still room for negotiation. So Wu Qiu immediately replied, "Ahem, we mean no harm; we've come to Lostan to order forged weapons."

After a moment of silence, Wu Qiu turned around and no one answered him. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard a sigh, "Sigh~ You guys should go."

Then there was no further sound. Wu Qiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Just tell me what you want. I don't have any anyway."

"How many Mora do you want? It's fine, name your price. Anyway, I currently owe 160,000... 180,000. I don't mind owing a little more."

There was still no answer, but the three steel behemoths moved, clearly indicating that they were about to make a move.

"Hey hey hey! Let me tell you, I have two super strong guys here. The three of you are no match for us, so I advise you to calm down."

Wu Qiu's words seemed to have struck a nerve with Lostan. No sooner had he finished speaking than his angry voice rang out, "Hey, you little brat, do you think these three are like that trash outside? Do you even know what 1+1+1=10 means?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two relic heavy machines and the relic hunter Kangci in front of Wu Qiu underwent a sudden, brutal transformation. You're probably wondering what a brutal transformation is, it's when you forcibly disassemble your own parts, disassemble yourself, and then help the other two disassemble theirs as well.

Anyway, it's just a bunch of disassembly, then you put it back together yourself. Once you've finished this whole thing, you've completed a ridiculously ugly, huge, combined ruin or something.

Noelle and Wu Qiu were completely dumbfounded. Lostan, however, was still quite proud, "Hahaha! How about that? Were you scared? This is my successful research, the Relic Demon God!"

......................................................

"What the hell is this thing? Forget it, stop talking nonsense and get it."

As soon as Wu Qiu finished speaking, Klee raised her hand and fired a shot, shattering that damned Ruins Demon God into pieces.

"Oh dear! My Ruins Demon God! You! You! You've gone too far!"

Lostan changed his expression incredibly quickly, but Wu Qiu and the others didn't care. Noelle stepped forward and punched the ice wall.

"Let me tell you, this ice wall of mine is made of the hardest ice; there's no way you can get in..."

Boom!

The wall collapsed...

Wu Qiu was also dumbfounded, thinking, "What is this thing? It's not even as thick as the wall in Shuang Lin's bedroom. How did you manage to break into Tree City like this?"

But this was for the best. Wu Qiu, Noelle, and Klee moved forward step by step, and the five walls in front of them could not stop them at all.

"Hey! Stop smashing things! I'm warning you, I'm going to get angry! You understand what I mean by getting angry?"

No one paid him any attention, and they had already reached the door. After Noelle broke the lock on the door, Wu Qiu kicked it open.

Inside, the first thing Wu Qiu saw was a place that looked like a laboratory.

"If I remember correctly, Lostan was a blacksmith, right? Well, are blacksmiths really that high-class now? Or have I been misunderstanding blacksmiths all along?"

However, none of that mattered. Wu Qiu finally saw the legendary blacksmith Lostan.

Wu Qiu had previously imagined that Lostandin would be a robust old man. Moreover, before hearing his voice, Wu Qiu had even thought that Lostandin was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that, given that she was an elf.

But now, Wu Qiu's anticipation vanished in an instant. Why? Because his first impression of Lostan was that he was a Yordle.

Look at this Lord Staunton, he's as tall as Klee, wearing tattered clothes, has a big head, a stubble beard, a messy head of hair, and glasses.

Based on his appearance, Wu Qiu suspected that he was related to the great inventor Heimerdinger, also known as Big Head.

If it weren't for his rather conspicuous elven ears, Wu Qiu really wouldn't believe that this thing was an elf.

Lostan was also taken aback when he saw Wu Qiu and the others. Wu Qiu and the others were also stunned, wondering, "This thing is Lostan?"

"Are you all crazy?! I told you to leave! But you insisted on coming in."

After Losttan realized what was happening, he jumped up and cursed, then waved his hand, and more than a dozen dart-shooting guns appeared in the room, all aimed at Wu Qiu.

Seeing this, Noelle immediately stepped in front of Wu Qiu, took out the Snow Burial Star Silver and activated her Heart Protection Armor, ready to fight at any moment.

But just then, Lostan suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

The guns that were supposed to fire all stopped, just like the voice-activated ones. Then the old man stared at Noelle, his eyes filled with fascination.

"Holy crap, old man, what are you doing?"

Wu Qiu immediately stepped in front of Noelle. Wu Qiu was speechless at the old man.

He was as tall as Klee. Although they were both elves, Klee was only fifty years old, while this Lordstein was at least six hundred years old, if Wu Qiu remembered correctly. He might even be older than Klee's mother.

So why is there such a big difference? Of course, Wu Qiu isn't saying he's discriminating against people of height, but what the hell is the meaning behind that look in your eyes? Don't you know that you always give people a sleazy feeling?

"Get out of my way, you're in my way!"

Lostan glared at Wu Qiu, then walked around to the other side, urging Noelle with a tone like a child trafficker trying to abduct her, "Little girl, can I see the sword in your hand? I'll give you candy."

Wu Qiu went up and, without saying a word, kicked him away with a thud! "Who the hell are you? Why should I show you?"

Afterwards, Wu Qiu turned back to Ke Li and asked, "Am I handsome?"

Klee hesitated. "But, big brother, aren't you asking him to forge weapons? Is this a good idea?"

Wu Qiu was taken aback. Noel chimed in, "That's what I think too."

......................................................

"Damn it... I forgot about that. I need his help! Oh no, I just kicked him! Was I too hasty?"

"Hey, do you think it's too late for me to call him Grandpa now?"

Seeing Lostan lying on the ground, Wu Qiu quickly went forward to help him up. "Grandpa, Grandpa, look how you fell down. You're so careless. Get up quickly."

Lostan stood up shakily, glaring at Wu Qiu, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Wu Qiu blinked, giving off an "I'm innocent" look.

"Okay, that's disgusting."

Lostan glared at Wu Qiu, then looked at Keli and said, "Hey little girl over there, come here."

Klee pointed to herself, then cautiously approached Wu Qiu. Lostan, however, watched Klee with a smile.

"At first I wasn't sure, but now it seems you're Alice's daughter, aren't you?"

Wu Qiu was taken aback, and Ke Li was also taken aback.

"Do you know Mom?"

"Your surname isn't Wang, is it?"

The second question was asked by Wu Qiu. Lostan rolled his eyes at Wu Qiu again, "To be so young and to be able to play with bombs like this, I've never seen anyone else besides Alice."

"Plus, with that striking resemblance, of course I could guess it."

Sure enough, based on Loststein's way of addressing Alice and his impression of her, Loststein was older than Alice, possibly much older.

"I know why you've come, but it won't do."

Lostan added that this time he directly rejected Wu Qiu.

"Why?" Wu Qiu asked, puzzled. Lostan quickly replied, "I don't forge weapons casually; if I do, they're the best."

Furthermore, I don't provide materials for others. If you want to forge weapons, bring the best materials; otherwise, forget about it.

Lostan thought Wu Qiu would give up after he finished speaking. But to his surprise, Wu Qiu's eyes lit up. "Really? How about this one?"

After saying that, he slammed the cold bone on the table. Lostan initially looked at what Wu Qiu had taken out with disdain, but his eyes lit up when he saw it.

"This is... that piece of cold bone, you actually obtained it."

Wu Qiu chuckled, then took out the frost canopy, which was the size of a washbasin.
