Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"how did you do that?"

If Venti's previous skillful use of wind to break through the world's barriers could be attributed to leveraging the diffusion effect of wind and his understanding of Teyvat, then this is an example of creating a storm covering a vast area with just a small amount of wind...

This was completely beyond Su Feng's comprehension.

"That's why I say the world itself is a work of art made of building blocks. This kind of exquisite and just-right structure can often produce effects far beyond imagination with just a little push."

"This is the skill I want to teach you. After all, it's a waste to not use the power of the world itself and instead go through the trouble of creating everything ourselves."

Wendy didn't pay much attention to Su Feng's surprise. After quietly calming the still expanding storm, he gave his summary with a touch of pride.

"Moreover, your wind is too independent and pure, which has caused your wind to lose many of the characteristics that belong to the wind."

"Wind shouldn't be independent and pure. Impurities from the outside world do diminish the wind's power, but they also give the lively wind the ability to interfere with its surroundings—and that's what the wind excels at."

"The biggest problem with your style is that you've given up the method you're best at, which I think is a real loss."

Wendy pointed out the biggest problem that Sufeng had to face: while the ideal fluid was indeed powerful enough, it also lost the variability and agility of the wind.

After Wendy's explanation, Su Feng finally showed a thoughtful expression. He now realized that these gods who had lived for thousands of years were indeed not joking.

While the opposing side may not see much increase in strength over a long period of time, or even see a decrease due to wear and tear, the growth and accumulation of their knowledge, as well as the mysteries they have developed, are no joke.

Su Feng acknowledged his shortcomings. Since Wendy had already demonstrated the power of knowledge to him, he naturally wouldn't choose to give up.

Since that's the case, let's start with the simplest thing. With that thought, Su Feng couldn't help but point to the still-unsettled sea and ask a question.

"So how exactly did you manage to do that?"

"Hmph! That's not difficult. You see, the whole world is a chaotic whole. As long as you understand the structure of the world a little, you can use a small amount of force to move this whole."

"For example, the wind direction where we are now is... the total air volume is... the temperature is... the humidity is... the ocean current is..."

Perhaps it was a question that touched a nerve, because Wendy almost immediately rattled off a whole bunch of conditions and specific situations that left everyone bewildered. When he got to the crucial point, he even casually waved his hand and used wind elements to construct a complex model in front of Su Feng, and began to explain the mysteries contained within it one by one.

The only pity is that the person he was explaining to might be blind.

"..."

"Wait, wait!"

After a while, Su Feng, who was completely dizzy, decisively interrupted Wendy's explanation, and Wendy, whose explanation was forcibly terminated, showed an unhappy expression.

But Su Feng really didn't dare let this guy continue, because this thing seemed to have touched on Su Feng's blind spots in knowledge from the very beginning.

Why does learning advanced techniques of applying force require delving into meteorology? And it looks like this will continue to expand into a whole host of other disciplines.

Isn't there an easier way? Doesn't Wendy know that he's just an uneducated child?

At this moment, Su Feng made this heartfelt call, his clear eyes, which had never been tainted by knowledge, revealing only bewilderment and helplessness regarding learning.

Chapter 42: Laplace's Demon's words are a bit too outrageous, aren't they?

Su Feng felt that the world shouldn't be like this—Teyvat clearly possesses elemental power, which should be considered extraordinary by any measure, but why, in the end, does the desire to maximize the influence of elemental power on the world ultimately have to be grounded in pure mathematics?

So, the ultimate end of the universe is still mathematics, which can bury people so easily?

Isn't that putting a newborn child in a really difficult position?

Mathematics is something that someone like him, who has never received a day of formal education, could possibly touch.

And Wendy, aren't you supposed to be a beacon of hope and a turning point?

Shouldn't we be talking about some profound insights or principles? Why are we suddenly getting into math?

"Is it that difficult? Isn't this something that can be figured out with just a little thought?"

However, Wendy, facing Su Feng's incredibly clear eyes, scratched her head and said something like that. Wendy, who had just wanted to show off, never expected that Su Feng would get stuck at the very first step, and in a way that seemed difficult for her to solve.

"..."

"Is your brain a little different from mine?"

Hearing such a Versailles-esque statement, Su Feng was stunned. He originally thought Wendy was a human supercomputer, but he never expected that this guy would be such a talent monster.

No, it could also be a combination of the two?

Is this really that outrageous?

"Hmm... But I really do only need to think about it. I can know the prerequisites with just a glance, and I know what I should do with just a thought. I've always been like this."

Although Su Feng expressed his protest, Wendy's Versailles did not end there; in fact, it became even more powerful.

"..."

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now. Since you want to bring me here, you must have more than just this simple trick up your sleeve. Why don't we try something else?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Feng could only decide to see if he could skip class.

After all, it's a bit much to ask someone with such an undeveloped brain to think about such a complex mathematical model. Let's see if we can learn something else from Wendy.

"But...this is already the simplest one!"

Unfortunately, Wendy delivered an even more devastating blow to Su Feng the very next second.

"Using wind to create wind belts or even storms is the most basic skill. If you can't even master this, then you can forget about influencing elements or affecting more intangible things."

Wendy looked troubled after hearing Su Feng's idea of ​​skipping class.

"..."

"If I may ask, what's the best you can do at your peak?"

Upon hearing this, Su Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked a question with some trepidation.

"Hmm... At most, I could only peek into the fate of a mortal and exert a little influence, and even that would be extremely taxing on me. I would never do that under normal circumstances."

Wendy had no intention of hiding her abilities, but after hearing this, Su Feng fell into a deeper silence.

"If I'm not mistaken, you use the wind to collect all the information you can and then deduce all of this. If necessary, you use the wind to influence something and indirectly change a person's fate?"

"To construct an unimaginably massive model to simulate the life of an ordinary person, and one that is almost infallible?"

After finally composing himself, Su Feng asked his question in a voice almost devoid of emotion.

"That's right!"

Wendy happily affirmed this, even looking at Su Feng with a "you know this very well" look, as if she were seeing a promising junior.

Unfortunately, Su Feng was completely numb to this praise and affirmation.

So, is it really possible that something as outrageous as Laplace's demon could actually happen? Doesn't the Tree of Imaginary Numbers do anything about something this absurd?

This is Su Feng's only thought right now.

Wendy said that he could only determine the fate of a mortal and exert a little influence on it now—but this is who he is now. Who knows what he could do at his peak, or what the ruler of time could do?

Since Istar is known as the measure of a thousand winds and the sun and moon, and can even arrange many things across vast spans of time, it means that the other party has even stronger power in terms of time or destiny.

Judging from Wendy's current state, Ishtar may very well be using a similar method to manipulate time and even fate.

Of course, the other party must have some other means of cooperation, but these means are definitely an important part.

Perhaps it's impossible for a Laplace's demon to influence the entire universe, but creating a Teyvat is probably not a problem, but even so, it's still a bit too outrageous.

From this perspective, Wendy is starting to get weirder!

"I think we might have some differences in our thinking in many areas. Why don't you start by teaching me how to use wind to spread other elements for use against the enemy? After all, all I know how to do right now is to use wind to spread out the opponent's attacks."

"If all else fails, you could even teach me how to better and faster utilize external elements!"

"The requirements aren't high. Just start with methods at the level of a normal demon god. I don't think the other demon gods who are just there to make up the numbers can do what you have."

After taking a deep breath for a long time, Su Feng finally gave a suggestion. He felt that it was a bit too much for a mortal like himself to try to learn the special skills of Wendy, a humanoid computing core that had already crushed supercomputers.

Realizing this, Su Feng decisively lowered his expectations and decided to start learning from the very basics.

"Hmm... using wind to spread elements or calling upon external elements... well... okay, but I might need to think a little about how to teach you, since these things are practically instinctive for me."

Wendy looked troubled by Su Feng's request, but since she had said she would teach Su Feng a few tricks, she couldn't just give up halfway, so in the end she had no choice but to agree.

However, figuring out how to properly raise her husband has become a real headache for Wendy.

As expected, anything involving Su Feng is troublesome. I should have tricked someone else into doing this. Instead, he foolishly plunged into this huge pit all by himself.

Wendy glanced at Su Feng, who seemed to know nothing and was waiting to be fed, and painfully thought about how to explain some of her instincts in a way that Su Feng could understand. In the process, this thought popped into Wendy's mind, but unfortunately, it was too late to think about these things now.

Tsk, indeed all of fate's gifts come with a price tag, but unfortunately, he can't refuse them now even if he wants to.

This is unbearable! The leadership is going too far!

Chapter 43 Wendy's eyes lost their light

For Su Feng, learning the fighting style of the Teyvat gods from Wendy was not easy.

Because he had become accustomed to fighting solely by relying on his own light elemental power and the authority of a Herrscher.

It would be difficult to get him to abandon his instincts and try to use external elements to fight.

Especially since the quantity of external elements is often limited, if the elements in a surrounding area are quickly consumed during a battle, then it will be necessary to wait for a period of time for the elements to be replenished.

In this situation, the battle was naturally not as free and easy as it used to be, when Su Feng didn't care about the consumption of energy. This kind of battle, where every bit of power seemed to need to be calculated, made Su Feng feel restricted and even uneasy.

It was precisely after meticulously studying the Demon God's fighting style that Su Feng understood why he could outperform the Seven Gods in pure combat power.

This is not because he is actually much stronger than the Seven Gods, but simply because of his innate advantage.

After all, the elemental power that the Seven Gods can utilize is limited. Whether it is the elemental power in the external environment or the elemental power within their own bodies, they only have so much. If they don't use it sparingly, they may run out of energy after a few powerful moves. If that happens, they will be at the mercy of others.

But Su Feng had never worried about this before. The light energy within his body seemed to be always abundant, which made him waste his power most of the time.

Therefore, in this situation, how to achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of energy became the most important thing for the gods, and restraining themselves in battle became something that the gods had to do unless they were determined to fight to the death.

What Su Feng is learning now is precisely this method, which will make his influence on the world more powerful and his attack methods more incisive.

However, all of this is predicated on studying hard.

But clearly, this is not an easy task, especially since Su Feng's instincts do not contain any knowledge of this subject.

So Wendy quickly realized that if she wanted Su Feng to learn these things, she could only teach him little by little!

High emotional intelligence: takes time.

Low emotional intelligence: That's so stupid, it needs to be etched into our DNA!
