Zhongli explained:
"Personal experience is indeed convenient, but if you just blindly imitate, you may make rapid progress at first, but you will gradually be constrained by Mr. Manyo."
Of course, Master Manyo's swordsmanship is already unparalleled in the world, but surely a traveler's ambitions should extend beyond that?
Maple Leaf suddenly realized:
"I understand now. Thanks to Mr. Zhongli for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost done something wrong with good intentions."
"In that case, what I will demonstrate to Yin Kong will no longer be specific techniques or moves, but rather how to listen to the sounds of nature and the wind."
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Mr. Manyo is indeed wise; he understands things immediately."
While the two were talking, Yin Kong had already chosen a lying position and started the dungeon challenge again.
"So, this is what it's like for other people's bodies?"
Standing in the middle of the thin mist, Yin Kong heard Wan Ye sigh in his heart.
His physique is very special; he is naturally inclined to follow the wind and be close to nature.
Even before gaining the Eye of God, he was always able to "hear" many voices that others ignored.
So often, when others ask him for advice on swordsmanship, asking why a certain sword strike is made from a certain angle, or why he can always guess his opponent's movements, he can only helplessly tell them that these are all things that the "wind" has taught him.
That's why he always said he wasn't good at teaching.
Now, Wan Ye finally understands why so many people's swordsmanship is so hasty and full of flaws.
It turned out that the sounds around them were so numerous and noisy that he could only catch a glimpse of the gentle and lively wind by closing his eyes and carefully listening to the sounds.
Ding! Ding! Ding...
Yin Kong gently closed his eyes, casually waving the Dawn Divine Sword in his hand to deflect the flying knives aimed at him, and then walked casually into the mist as if taking a stroll.
But it was this leisurely stroll that gradually cornered the beautiful assassin at the edge of the instance, leaving her nowhere to escape. In the end, he struck her on the back of the head with his sword, easily completing the challenge.
"Traveler, have you learned it?"
Having regained control of his body, Yin Kong was still savoring the magical sensation he had just experienced, and said somewhat uncertainly:
"I think I've got it... a little bit?"
Manyo's suggestion was very effective; he truly and intuitively felt Manyo's unrestrained and free spirit.
Similarly, it was the first time in my life that I "heard" the sounds of the wind and nature.
For Yin Kong, it was like someone who had been groping in the dark suddenly discovering the light, opening a door to a new world for him.
Without Zhongli or Wanye reminding him, he had already tried to calm his mind and become peaceful, trying to listen to and feel the sounds of the wind and nature amidst all the chaos, just like Wanye.
"As expected of a traveler, you've already figured it out so quickly."
Seeing this, Manyo was also very much looking forward to it.
His unique physique endowed him with unparalleled swordsmanship talent, but equally, almost no one could talk to him about this topic.
If one day he could talk to someone about the whispers of flowers and leaves when the wind blows, and the drifting of birds and fish, that would surely be one of the greatest joys in life.
If this person is a traveler, then it would be perfect.
Moreover, the experience of being an "ordinary person" was quite novel for Maple Leaf, and he gained a lot of insights and benefited greatly from it.
If this were on the continent of Teyvat, he might have been able to take this opportunity to further improve his swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, Maple Leaf is now limited by the panel, and even if he has some insights, he cannot improve his skill level in this way.
"I heard."
After Yin Kong finally caught that wisp of agile wind amidst the chaos, he tried to take on the challenge again.
Sure enough, even though the mist obscured his figure and resentment confused his footsteps, Yin Kong was able to pinpoint the opponent's approximate location by following the direction of the wind.
Unfortunately, just as he was overjoyed, that wisp of lively wind vanished instantly amidst the chaos.
Yin Kong naturally wouldn't give up so easily. After trying six or seven times in a row, he finally managed to corner the beautiful assassin.
Although it wasn't as effortless and carefree as Manyo's, he still managed to complete the challenge through his own efforts.
"Unfortunately, in a real battle, I wouldn't have several minutes to adjust my mindset."
Yin Kong was well aware that he needed a lot of practice to integrate these techniques into actual combat.
As for becoming a passive monster like Maple Leaf, that requires even more luck.
Even so, Yin Kong discovered that his normal attack had been upgraded again, from Lv.3 to Lv.4.
Furthermore, he had a strong intuition that the time to upgrade to Lv.5, or even Lv.6, was not too far off.
Chapter 78 In order to fight against the abyss, Zhongli decides to become an idol (not really).
After Wan Ye taught Yin Kong how to "listen" to the gentle wind, Zhong Li also generously let Yin Kong experience what it means to be solid and reliable on earth.
Perhaps in the near future, he will also be able to experience the tenacity of flames, the fleeting eternity of lightning, and the purity and sublimity of water...
If that's the case, wouldn't I have the opportunity to master all the characters' elemental skills and elemental bursts?
The roar of the Thompson submachine gun shattered Yin Kong's reverie.
Rampage, clones, phantoms...
Although the enemy's methods have become more diverse and their strength is not to be underestimated, in front of Yin Kong, who has gained some insights, they have become an exceptionally good whetstone, making him more and more courageous in battle.
However, just as Yin Kong was overcoming all obstacles and thought he could clear the level in one go on his own, he encountered a head-on blow on the eleventh floor.
Because the original revolver gunmen on this floor were replaced by at least twenty cold-blooded killers wielding Thompson submachine guns.
More importantly, the nearest cover in the entire instance is more than 20 meters away.
After the instance was activated, it seemed that these bastards had already locked onto Yin Kong's position with their guns and started firing without saying a word.
Even though Yin Kong's health points are now much higher than before, he still fell without a doubt under this simple and unpretentious firepower output.
Fortunately, his sacrifice was meaningful.
After the assassins unleashed all their bullets on Yin Kong, Wan Ye took advantage of their reloading time to easily eliminate them all with a combination of "Riding the Wind" and "Natural Return."
For the rest of the time, Yin Kong basically struggled with this challenge.
Although with his current perception, plus Zhongli's warning, it is almost impossible for him to fall into a similar fire trap.
Moreover, even if such an extreme situation were to occur, the Jade Shield, the Rock Ridge, or even direct teleportation would be sufficient to ensure that he would not actually perish there.
However, it was quite obvious that Yin Kong still wanted to slightly dent the wall.
If you can complete the entire [Challenge Mode] on your own, that should be a very satisfying thing.
Besides, although they didn't pay much attention to the distillery, it wouldn't be a bad thing to get a little familiar with the power of firearms.
Unfortunately, even after Yoko and Fischl returned from their trip, Yin Kong was still fighting tooth and nail in the dungeon.
"Yin Kong, it's time to rest."
At Paimon's prompting, Yin Kong reluctantly closed the event page.
However, after washing up and snuggling into bed with Paimon in his arms, he couldn't help but open the wish interface and his gaze fell on Ningguang, who was there as a backup.
Let's get Ningguang!
Oh my god, if only I could pull Ningguang, Vatasi—
During Yin Kong's prayer, he saw the pink ball he had just collected that day transform into a [Jade Orb].
"Today is indeed a beautiful sunny day."
This time, Yin Kong finally didn't wake up from the heat or the cold, and successfully slept until he woke up naturally.
He opened the window, and although it was only early morning, the wind outside told him that it would be a beautiful sunny day.
"Hehe, I won after all."
Paimon was naturally very happy to have successfully handed over a week's worth of cat-scooping duties to Wanye.
"As expected of Lord Paimon, I am truly impressed."
Manyo also felt that witnessing such amazing weather changes was truly worthwhile.
"Hello, is this the Omnipotent Detective Agency, Rabbit House?"
Soon, Yin Kong received a phone call informing him that the white marble raw materials he had ordered online had arrived.
Because it was the weekend, and because Yin Kong had given prior instructions, Aoyama Nanami rushed over after breakfast.
"Boss, what's this—?"
Watching Yin Kong push a large box, over two meters long, into the office, Aoyama Nanami couldn't help but feel incredibly curious.
She could vaguely guess that this was probably why Yin Kong had specifically asked her to come to the office so early in the morning.
"The materials we'll be using next." Yin Kong brushed the dust off his hands and explained, "Oh, by the way, Qingshan, let me introduce you to another member of the Cunning Rabbit House."
Upon hearing this, Aoyama Nanami instinctively turned around to look.
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw a tall and imposing man standing behind her.
Forget it, I feel like if I keep complaining about the weird way the members of the Rabbit House make their entrances, I'll really lose.
And this new member is indeed very handsome.
Surely good looks aren't actually part of the hiring criteria at our Rabbit House?
So, does this mean she passed the test?
"Hello, I am Zhongli, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Upon hearing Zhongli's voice, Aoyama Nanami was taken aback.
Unlike her youthful and heroic appearance, Zhongli's voice had an indescribable sense of vicissitude, which made her feel a little strange when she heard it for the first time.
"Zhongli?" Qingshan Qihai, regaining his senses, subconsciously used honorifics. "Could it be that you and Boss Yin Kong are from the same hometown?"
After all, these are typical Chinese names.
Zhongli did not answer directly, but looked at Yin Kong with a questioning look in her eyes.
Yin Kong paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying:
"You can say that."
Although Aoyama Nanami found it a bit strange, she didn't ask any further questions.
It was only then that she realized that Mr. Zhongli's Eye of God was different from that of Sister Shinobu, Maple Leaf, and Mr. Kanoin Heizo.
I don't know what these different colors and styles actually represent.
Does this mean that different colors represent different employee ranks?
Someone like me, who doesn't even have the Eye of God, must be at the very bottom of the firm, right?
"Zhongli will be carving in the office today, so it might be a bit noisy."
Under the curious gaze of the girl, Yin Kong pushed the heavy suitcase and entered the inner room of the agency together with the mysterious Mr. Zhong Li.
Upon opening the box and seeing the enormous piece of white marble, Yin Kong's tone became somewhat excited:
"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Zhongli."
His excitement stemmed from the simple fact that Zhongli would be using this piece of white marble to create a statue of the Seven Gods.
By then, I will finally be able to break free from my original human form, which is devoid of elemental power.
Zhongli explained:
"Please don't worry, the creation of the Seven God Statues is not difficult for us at all; the key lies in the power of faith..."
Yin Kong asked:
"Does the power of faith require me to preach it?"
“That’s not necessary,” Zhongli shook his head gently and said, “That requires so much faith power to protect the entire Teyvat continent. If it’s just to provide energy for you, Traveler, then it can reach one-third of what Ms. Okino Yoko has, which is more than enough for now.”
Of course, this amount of faith power will obviously not be enough to fight against the Abyss in the future.
But it's clear that there are many characters in Yin Kong's character pool who are more suitable for collecting faith than him.
Upon hearing this, Yin Kong exclaimed in surprise:
