Godlike: Double Penetration of the Starry Sky! A brutal beating of Ge Xiaolun at the start.

Long Wen looked around, and a thought suddenly struck him. He noticed that these monsters seemed to be particularly sensitive to fluctuations in the wind element; every time Wendi played the Gale, they would briefly panic.

"Venti, increase your wind element output and disrupt them! Amber, focus your fire on those panicked monsters!" Longwen shouted.

Wendy and Amber, upon hearing this, immediately did as instructed. Wendy's melody grew even more intense, and a howling wind caused the monsters to lose their footing. Amber seized the opportunity to fire several arrows, killing several of the leading monsters.

With the three working together, the monsters' attack was finally halted, and they began to slowly retreat.

"Now's the time! Charge out!" Long Wen shouted.

Taking advantage of the monsters' retreat, the three of them fought their way out and raced towards Mondstadt. Behind them, the monsters roared in frustration, but the chaos prevented them from putting up an effective pursuit.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the outline of Mondstadt finally appeared in the distance, its lights shining brightly like a beacon of hope in the darkness.

"We're here!" Amber exclaimed excitedly.

The three of them dragged their weary bodies into Mondstadt 617. The guards at the city gate, seeing their disheveled appearance, all looked at them with concern: "Miss Amber, Mr. Wendy, what happened to you?"

Amber waved her hand: "I ran into some trouble on the way, but it's nothing."

Upon entering Mondstadt, Longwen was immediately struck by the bustling scene. Shops lined both sides of the street, people were laughing and chatting, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

“Let’s go to the Adventurers’ Guild first, register Longwen, and see if we can find any clues about his time travel,” Wendy suggested.

The three arrived at the Adventurers' Guild, where a staff member warmly greeted them: "Welcome! Is there anything we can help you with?"

Chapter 86 Then I'll trouble you.

Wendy briefly explained Longwen's situation. The staff member frowned and thought for a moment: "Time travel is truly unheard of. However, we will do our best to help you find information. In the meantime, Mr. Longwen can take on some simple quests in Mondstadt to familiarize himself with the environment."

Long Wen nodded in thanks: "Then I'll have to trouble you."

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Wendy smiled and said to Longwen, "Alright, Brother Longwen, from now on, start your adventure in Mondstadt. I'm sure you'll love this place."

Looking at the bustling Mondstadt, Longwen was filled with anticipation: "Yes, I definitely will!"

Upon arriving in Teyvat, Longwen was inexplicably pursued. In the chaos, he bumped into Amber, a collision that not only led to a misunderstanding but also forged a strange connection between him and Mondstadt. Now, being escorted by Amber towards Mondstadt, a story of resolving misunderstandings and embarking on an adventure begins.

Sunlight bathed the ancient cobblestone streets of Mondstadt in a golden glow, but Longwen had no interest in appreciating the beauty. Amber held his arm tightly, and a group of curious children followed behind, pointing and staring as if he were some rare toy. Adults also cast their gazes, some curious, some wary. Longwen felt utterly uncomfortable, as if he were a monster on display.

"Hey, Miss Amber, could you be a little gentler? You've almost broken my arm!" Long Wen complained, grimacing, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

Amber raised an eyebrow, but her grip on his hand didn't loosen in the slightest. "Hmph, you scoundrel of unknown origin, stop pretending to be pitiful. Once we get into the city, the Knights will interrogate you properly." As she spoke, she warily scanned Long Wen, secretly thinking: This kid looks ordinary, but his appearance in the wild is too suspicious. What if he's an enemy spy? That would be terrible.

Longwen sighed helplessly and looked at Amber with sincere eyes. "Miss Amber, I'm really new here. I just stumbled upon this place by accident. My name is Longwen, and I'm an adventurer. I came here to explore the Teyvat continent, but who knew that you would mistake me for a bad guy as soon as I landed." His voice was not loud, but every word was clear and sincere.

Amber paused slightly, the doubt in her eyes not dissipating. "An adventurer? What credentials do you have? This isn't something you can just bluff off with."

Long Wen scratched his head anxiously, fumbling in his pocket for a while before pulling out a strangely shaped dagger. "This is from my hometown. I always carry it with me; consider it a keepsake. I really meant no harm. If I wanted to do anything bad, I would have done it back in the wilderness. Why wait until now?"

Amber took the dagger and examined it closely. Strange patterns were engraved on the hilt, and the blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight, unlike anything she'd seen in the area. She frowned slightly, a sense of unease creeping into her mind: This dagger is indeed strange. Could what Wang Dezhao said be true? But what if…

More and more residents gathered around, their chatter buzzing like a swarm of annoying flies. Long Wen felt as if he were being roasted over a fire, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Just then, a hearty laugh broke the silence.

"Haha, Amber, what interesting guy did you catch?" Kaeya strolled over leisurely, his eyes darting over Longwen, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Chapter 87 Trying to make them believe in themselves

Amber, as if she had found a savior, quickly recounted what had happened. Kaeya, after listening, raised an eyebrow and looked at Longwen. "Oh? An adventurer? Interesting. However, in Mondstadt, it's difficult to move an inch without knowing your identity." His voice was languid yet enigmatic.

Long Wen inwardly groaned; another troublemaker had appeared. But he braced himself and explained his origins once more, his gaze fixed firmly on the two men, trying to convince them of his identity.

Amber and Kaeya exchanged a glance. Though still harboring doubts, Longwen's expression didn't seem to suggest he was lying. Amber finally released her grip. "Hmph, I'll believe you this time. But you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to misbehave, the Knights won't let you off the hook."

Long Wen rubbed his arm with a sigh of relief, forcing a wry smile. "Thank you for your mercy, Miss Amber. I will definitely behave myself." In fact, he had already made a plan in his mind: first, to gain a foothold in Mondstadt, and then slowly explore this magical continent.

Having escaped the predicament of being misunderstood, Longwen followed Amber to the Adventurers' Guild. Upon entering, a lively and bustling atmosphere greeted them. Adventurers gathered in small groups, sharing their adventure experiences, and the walls were covered with various quest requests, dazzling the eye.

“Hey, Ella Musk, any new mission?” Amber greeted a woman behind the counter familiarly.

Ella Musk looked up, saw Amber, and smiled, replying, "Yo, Amber, you're here. Perfect timing! There's a quest to clear out a monster camp, and it's quite challenging. Want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Long Wen's eyes lit up; this was a great opportunity to prove himself. He was about to speak when several adventurers rushed over to surround him.

"Ella, we'll take this mission. Don't worry, we'll handle it perfectly." A burly adventurer patted his chest and said, but glanced at Long Wen with disdain, as if to say: You newbie, you dare to compete with us?

The other adventurers chimed in, pushing Longwen aside. A surge of anger welled up inside Longwen, but then his eyes darted around, and he suddenly burst into laughter. The abrupt and loud laughter instantly drew everyone's attention, and the once noisy guild hall fell silent. Everyone stared at him as if he were a madman.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" The burly adventurer, enraged, stepped forward and grabbed Longwen by the collar.

Long Wen remained calm and gently slapped his hand away, his laughter abruptly ceasing, a sly glint in his eyes. "I'm laughing at you guys. You think you're so great, daring to accept a mission without even knowing what kind of opponent you're facing."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Long Wen cleared his throat and continued, "I've passed by this monster camp before. Those monsters aren't like ordinary wild beasts; they're incredibly cunning, and the camp is surrounded by traps. If you just rush in like this, you probably won't even know how you died."

A flicker of interest crossed Ira Musk's eyes. "Oh? Then tell me, what's your plan?"

Long Wen straightened his chest and said confidently, "I'm good at observing my surroundings and can spot traps in advance. I also have some special methods to deal with those cunning monsters. If you don't believe me, we can have a contest to see who can complete the mission faster and more safely."

Chapter 88 The Adventurers' Guild Accepts a Quest

His words drew surprise from everyone. The adventurers, feeling somewhat guilty but unwilling to lose face, stubbornly refused to back down.

Amber watched from the side, a slight smile playing on her lips, a growing curiosity about the dragon's pattern creeping into her heart. Kaeya, meanwhile, leaned against a pillar with his arms crossed, a hint of amusement in his eyes, seemingly wanting to see how this farce would end.

Ella Musk thought for a moment, then made her decision. "Alright, I'll give you a chance. Three days. If you can complete the task, the reward will be generous. If you fail, don't even think about taking on any more tasks from the Adventurers' Guild."

Long Wen was overjoyed and quickly nodded, "Thank you for your trust, Miss Ella. I will certainly live up to your expectations." He knew that this was a crucial battle for him to establish himself in Mondstadt; he could only win, not lose.

Just as Longwen was preparing to set off for his mission, Kaiya strolled over and blocked his path. Kaiya's gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Longwen. The surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and the once bustling guild hall became much quieter, with adventurers casting curious glances.

"Kid, I don't care what tricks you have up your sleeve, but in Mondstadt, there's no room for carelessness. This mission concerns everyone's safety. If you dare to mess around, don't blame me for being impolite." Kaeya's voice was deep and cold, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Long Wen felt the pressure emanating from Kaiya, but he did not back down. Meeting Kaiya's gaze, he said firmly, "Captain Kaiya, I understand the gravity of the situation. Since I dared to take on this mission, I am absolutely confident. Rest assured, I will not risk my life, nor will I implicate anyone."

Kaiya narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Longwen, trying to find a flaw in his expression. The two stared at each other, and for a moment, the atmosphere became tense.

Seeing this, Amber quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Kaiya, since Longwen said he can do it, let's give him a chance. Maybe he really has some skills."

Kaiya snorted coldly, "I hope so. If anything goes wrong, you'll be responsible, Amber." With that, he turned and strode away, leaving Amber looking helpless and Longwen clenching his fist in secret.

Long Wen took a deep breath, knowing in his heart that this invisible contest had only just begun. He not only had to face the numerous dangers of the monster camp, but also deal with Kaiya's suspicions; the slightest mistake could ruin everything. But his indomitable spirit was fully ignited, and he secretly vowed: he must complete the mission brilliantly and impress everyone.

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Longwen went straight to the blacksmith's shop. He knew that good weapons and equipment were essential to deal with the dangers of the monster camp.

... . ....

"Boss, forge me a good longsword. It needs to be sharp and durable, preferably able to pierce through monsters' hard armor." Long Wen said, taking out a few Mora from his pocket and placing them on the counter.

The blacksmith shop owner, a burly man, grinned at Long Wen and said, "No problem, young man. Judging by your determination, you've taken on a big task, haven't you? However, forging this weapon will take some time. Come and pick it up tomorrow."

Long Wen nodded and then purchased some essential supplies such as dry rations, medicine, and rope at the market. He weaved through the crowd, his mind racing with thoughts of the monster camp's layout and countermeasures. Passing a bookstore, a sudden idea struck him, and he went inside to...

Chapter Eighty-Nine: Getting Closer

"Boss, do you have any books about monster habits and the geography of this area?" Long Wen asked the shopkeeper.

The shop owner, an elderly man wearing glasses, pulled out several worn books from the bookshelf. "These are all here, young man. But you must apply this knowledge practically, don't just copy from the books, or you'll suffer for it outside."

Long Wen was overjoyed. He paid the money, found a quiet corner to sit down, and began to carefully study "June 17th". He knew that knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory, and the more you know, the greater your chances of winning.

Before he knew it, dusk had fallen, and Mondstadt was shrouded in twilight. Longwen returned to his temporary lodgings, ate some simple rations, and lay down on his bed to rest. Images of the monster camp kept flashing through his mind, simulating various possible scenarios, until he finally fell into a deep sleep late at night.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Long Wen's face. He opened his eyes wide, his gaze sharp and energetic. After a quick wash, he went to the blacksmith's shop, retrieved his longsword, hung it at his waist, checked his baggage again to make sure everything was in order, and then set off for the monster camp.

Along the way, Long Wen walked along the mountain path, surrounded by dense forests and birds singing in the branches, but he had no heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery. As he got closer to the camp, a faint stench of decay filled the air, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

Finally, through the gaps in the trees, Longwen saw the outline of the monster camp. The camp was surrounded by a thick wooden fence, and inside, many monsters could be seen moving about. He cautiously approached, hid behind a large tree, and observed the activity within the camp.

Just as he had said before, the camp was surrounded by traps, including spike traps, quicksand traps, and some hidden tripwires. Long Wen secretly rejoiced that he had done his homework beforehand; otherwise, venturing in rashly would have been troublesome.

He took some pebbles from his bag and threw them towards the distance of the camp. The sound of the pebbles hitting the ground attracted the attention of the monsters, who swarmed towards the sound, creating a brief opening in one corner of the camp. Long Wen seized the opportunity, his figure flashing as he stealthily made his way towards the camp like a ghost, skillfully avoiding several traps and successfully entering the camp.

However, just as Long Wen breathed a sigh of relief, another unexpected event occurred. A gigantic monster leader seemed to sense something amiss, turned its head, and stared intently at Long Wen with its bloodshot eyes... Then, it let out a furious roar, and the other monsters snapped out of their daze and pounced on Long Wen.

Long Wen inwardly cried out in alarm and quickly drew his longsword, assuming a defensive stance. The monsters bared their fangs and claws, launching a fierce attack, and he could only parry left and right, finding himself in grave danger.

"Damn it, this monster is even more troublesome than I imagined!" Long Wen fought and retreated, already covered in wounds, his clothes stained with blood. He tried to find the monster's weakness, but in the chaos, he had no time to do so.

To make matters worse, he accidentally triggered a hidden magical trap. A powerful 3.5 electric current instantly coursed through his body, numbing him and nearly causing him to collapse. Seeing this, the monsters intensified their attack, forcing Longwen into a corner and leaving him in a desperate situation.

Just as Long Wen was feeling desperate, he suddenly remembered the description of the monster's habits in the book. Although these monsters were ferocious, they had poor eyesight and relied mainly on their sense of smell and hearing to hunt. A thought struck him; he pulled a smoke bomb from his bag and threw it forcefully at the monster horde.

Chapter Ninety: They scattered and fled.

The smoke grenade exploded instantly, billowing white smoke and filling the entire camp with a pungent odor. The monsters were thrown into chaos, darting about in the smoke, colliding with each other, and their attacks became completely disorganized.

Taking advantage of the moment, Long Wen took a deep breath, enduring the pain in his body, and rallied his spirits. He closed his eyes and, relying on his memory and keen hearing, made his way towards the monster leader. The instant he approached the leader, he suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute light flashing within them. He raised his longsword high and, with all his might, thrust it towards the monster leader's neck.

The longsword whistled through the air and pierced the monster leader's vitals with pinpoint accuracy. The leader let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground. Seeing their leader dead, the other monsters lost their leader and scattered in all directions.

Long Wen collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His wounds throbbed with pain, but a relieved smile graced his face. He knew he had succeeded; he had not only completed the mission but also proven his abilities.

After a period of rest, Longwen packed his spoils and, dragging his weary body, began his journey home. He walked and stopped frequently, his once light luggage now feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds. But his heart was filled with joy, imagining the surprised expressions on everyone's faces when he returned to Mondstadt.

As the outline of Mondstadt came into view, a warm feeling welled up in Longwen's heart. He quickened his pace and walked towards the city gate. The guards at the city gate were taken aback at first when they saw him like this, then showed admiration and opened the city gate for him.
