Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

The new method of consuming mental power is very effective. The principle is that after mastering the split mind, the elemental power consumed by each mental force will be increased, which is equivalent to turning a single thread into multiple threads, and at the same time achieves the two goals of tempering mental splitting and consuming mental power.

So Wang Chen feels a little dizzy now.

On the empty street, he followed his memory to Diona's house.

"Hey! You always do this outside. Aren't you afraid of getting into any danger?"

The sudden sound made him nervous.

"With my true identity, even the ruins guards won't attack me. As long as I don't provoke those elemental creatures, there won't be many bad guys left, right?"

Before Wang Chen entered Mondstadt, he encountered two ruins guards while traveling in the wild. One of the ruins guards was chasing him, and he naturally couldn't outrun its long legs. Just when he thought he was going to die, the other party just put his hand on the ground, as if inviting him to stand on it.

In order to avoid being pursued, Wang Chen could only be carried around by the ruins guards.

"Humph! Based on my experience of fighting for a hundred thousand years, there are so many bad guys in Teyvat, more than you can imagine."

"The Treasure Steals or the Fatui? I still have some mental strength left just in case." Wang Chen rested his arms behind his head and hummed a little tune from his hometown.

"..."

"But you didn't sleep?"

"Haha! How could a sword spirit need sleep?"

"So you ignored me before?"

"Humph! If I agree to your request, wouldn't that make me lose face?"

"You? Face? Hahaha!" Wang Chen laughed out loud.

"Humph! I've already told you that the Seven Gods must call me Senior when they see me!"

"Are you serious?" Wang Chen asked lazily, looking up at the silver moonlight.

"Ahh! The oldest of the Seven Gods, Rock God, is no older than ten thousand years old. According to their age, they are all my juniors!"

"You know quite a lot, but no one would call the sea or the mountain "senior", right?"

"Yes! All life in this world must call the land beneath their feet "senior".

Wang Chen shook his head helplessly. In ancient times, Gong Mingyi played the lute to a cow, and now Wang Chen is reasoning with a piece of ore.

"You have been through so much, do you know the Pointed Hat Peak and the Golden Apple Islands? Those are the mountaintops that were blown away and cut off by the Wind God with his mighty power. How can you compare to them? Do you still want the Seven Gods to call you senior?"

"Hmph! I'm angry!" Xiao Wen snorted and fell silent.

The streets became deserted again.

"I have crossed mountains and seas, and walked through crowds of people... Everything I once possessed, in the blink of an eye, has dissipated like smoke..." There was no one around, so Wang Chen bravely sang out loud.

Wang Chen could accept either running back to Mondstadt in half an hour or spending the night in the forest.

But this is a good opportunity to get closer to Diona. Staying at her house for a night is something that even the executioners can't do. And having breakfast with her tomorrow morning, won't his favorability towards her increase rapidly?

As expected, there was a light on in one of Diona's rooms. It was a side room separated from the main house, and the door was closed.

Wang Chen knocked on the door tentatively. There was no movement in the side room, but a window in the main room was open.

Duraf poked his head out and saw that it was Wang Chen. He winked and whispered, "It's not locked. Push hard."

After saying that, he fell asleep again.

Wang Chen pushed hard and it opened.

This side room is a rectangular space, divided into two halves by a wall. The outer room is filled with miscellaneous items, while the inner room has a single bed, a table, and a bookshelf.

The light seen from outside was the candle burning slowly on the table.

"Isn't this the room where Timmy used to live?"

There are only a few books on the bookshelf, but there are a lot of toys on the lower shelves. I wonder if they are Dionna's.

"Timmy, Timmy..."

Wang Chen lay down on the bed and didn't think about it anymore.

When he opened his eyes again, it was another peaceful night. He sat cross-legged on the bed to train his mental strength. Just as he completed the goal of splitting his mind, someone knocked on the door.

"Wake up, time for breakfast!"

Wang Chen glanced at his pocket watch. It was eight twenty in the morning.

Through the window of the room, you can see that there is a square table in the yard outside, and Durave is constantly serving food.

"Hey." Wang Chen responded, got out of bed, opened the door, and faced Diona, who had to look up to talk to him.

"Is Grandpa Finch okay?"

"I'm a little drunk, but it's not a big deal."

"That's good. Come and try the pan-fried small yellow croaker made by my father. The fish he cooks is the best in my heart!"

Duraf smiled and said, "We don't compete with others. Just eat what you like."

After having a delicious breakfast, Diona was going to Mondstadt to work, and Wang Chen also planned to return to Mondstadt.

"Chen, is there anything urgent that you need to go back for?"

"It's nothing."

"Then sit for a while and let's chat." Duraf stopped Wang Chen and told Diona, who was about to leave, "Run slower."

"Oh, I know! I say it every day."

After Diona ran away, Duraf went back to the house and got out two bottles of wine.

"My daughter Diona is one of the best bartenders in Mond, but she keeps shouting that she hates alcohol. We all thought she was joking or having a childish temper."

Durafu poured himself a full glass of wine and asked Wang Chen, "Are you old enough to drink?"

"Ah."

"Then this bottle is for you."

Without waiting for Wang Chen to refuse, Duraf continued, "That child doesn't want to tell me anything about her worries... Maybe all children in the world are like this. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that she really hated alcohol so much... I didn't know that this was all because of me."

He wanted to clink glasses with Wang Chen, but halfway through, he noticed that Wang Chen's wine was still unopened, so he took his hand back, drank half the glass in one gulp, and then said to Wang Chen:

"I promised Diona last night that I would stop drinking. But alcohol is like the sorrow in life. It won't disappear just because you want it to.

"I once helped a good friend quit drinking. At that time, we couldn't help it, so we kept drinking apple wine. We finally quit drinking, but later... Alas... I'm not drinking alcohol now."

Duraf gulped down the rest of the wine and filled his own glass.

Wang Chen also silently poured himself a glass.

Duraf chuckled and said, "In Mondstadt, we need wine. But don't worry, this wine is of low purity and won't make you drunk."

Wang Chen had no idea about this. Anyway, he felt that all the wines tasted the same. He just watched the old father drinking alone, so he decided to join him.

He took a sip and found it was much spicier than the dandelion wine he drank last time.

"Where were we talking about?" Duraf touched his head and recalled, "This second time I'm trying to quit drinking is much harder than the first time. I really can't guarantee that I can quit... But like you said, drinking in moderation is good for your health. I'll try not to get drunk. I hope Diona won't kill me."

"I've said so much, but in fact, I can just say one thing: thank you." Dulav raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Chen's, then drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp as if it were water.

"You're welcome."

In fact, I was the cause of the whole incident, so I can't help but take it seriously, Wang Chen thought to himself.

While drinking, a young hunter hurried up the steps of Durave's house and ran into the yard.

"Chief! Something bad has happened!"

"What's the fuss? Has the carrier pigeon been killed again?"

"puff--"

I hope there are no pigeon hunters in heaven… Wang Chen spat out the wine he had just drunk.

"This time it's not a pigeon, it's a wild boar! There are two people killing wild boars in the restricted hunting area, and one of them is wearing the Eye of God!" The young hunter looked at Wang Chen curiously and replied to Duraf.

"Don't panic. Are those two people male or female? Does anyone know them? How many wild boars did they kill?"

"Both were women... and followed by a small flying creature, but only killed a wild boar."

The flying gadget is Paimon, right? Another nickname has been added, so the other two should be Ying and Xiangling.

Wang Chen listened quietly.

"Hmm... they don't sound like any vicious criminals. I just need to communicate with them and make it clear that hunting is not allowed in wild boar habitats." Duraf thought.

"But...but they have God's Eye?" The young hunter was a little timid.

"What's wrong with the Eye of God? We still have to abide by the rules, right? There are people with the Eye of God in our town. There is even a Knight Order in the distant past. I'm not old yet, and you have such a little courage!"

Duraf sighed and said, "Forget it, let Alan go. He's brave. You, a hunter, sleep with your weapon next to you. Learn more."

The young hunter only heard that Alan was asked to go, and he felt relieved and left with full agreement.
