Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

"Speaking of which, let's go check on Timaeus. I have something I want to ask him for help! It would be even better if Albedo and Sucrose were there... but they seem to be busy, so they may not show up... Well, let's go back first!

Ying raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, but when she thought about it carefully, it was not surprising that this little guy always had some sudden and wonderful ideas.

It’s been a long time since I last returned to Mondstadt. I wonder how Klee and the others are doing.

After returning to Mondstadt, Ying and Paimon rushed to Timaus's alchemy table. Paimon was very excited and couldn't wait to meet Timaus.

Finally arriving at the destination, Paimon waved excitedly in the direction of the alchemy table and shouted loudly: "Hey, Tima..." The voice echoed in the air, as if the whole Mondstadt could hear her call.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly entered her sight. Paimon couldn't help but frowned and muttered to himself in confusion: "Hey, isn't that Albedo? Why is he gone?"

Paimon had a strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that Albedo's departure was a little unusual.

[Keqing: It’s a bit strange indeed. I know Mr. Albedo very well.]

【Klee: It must be a fake Albedo! Albedo won’t ignore me.

[Albedo: That is...]

[Qin: Albedo, do you have any idea? ]

[Albedo: It is true. Let’s continue reading.]

...

At this time, Timaus also spotted Ying and Paimon, and he couldn't help but greet them with joy, "Hey? It's the Traveler and Paimon! Long time no see."

Sugar also looked at them in surprise and greeted them warmly: "Hello, you two! It's been a long time since we last met."

Paimon couldn't help but ask, "Were you discussing something important just now?"

Timaeus shook his head and explained, "We usually meet here to discuss our latest research topics."

Paimon thought of his original plan and slapped his forehead in annoyance, muttering to himself, "Damn, I'm a step too late. It would have been great if I could have called Albedo... But looking at his expression just now, he seemed a little colder than usual. Could he have encountered something unpleasant? If that's the case, he probably won't be in the mood to help me."

After hearing what Paimon whispered, Sucrose suddenly felt confused and worried. She frowned and asked hesitantly, "Um... when you say unhappy, do you mean Mr. Albedo?"

There was a hint of concern in Sando's voice, and her bright big eyes were staring at Paimon, as if hoping to get more information from her.

She thought to herself, Mr. Albedo has always been so gentle and friendly, and it is rare to see him unhappy. Could it be that he has encountered some difficulties or troubles? Thinking of this, Sugar's mood also became heavy.

Paimon nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, I saw that his expression just now was different from usual."

Sugar frowned and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: "Unhappy... uh, not yet..." She couldn't help but glance at Timaus again.

Timaeus felt frightened by her gaze, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He couldn't help scratching his head and said guiltily: "Why are you looking at me?" It couldn't be that he had made teacher Albedo unhappy.

Sugar, however, said what Zatimaus was most concerned about with an innocent expression. She said, "Could it be that the research topic that Zatimaus came up with recently is as bland as boiled water, so that it angered Mr. Albedo?"

Timaeus was struck by lightning, and he remembered the short silence that Albedo had gone into whenever he heard what he was talking about. He was like a petrified man, scratching his head and hesitantly saying, "No, it's not that boring!"

Listening to the conversation between Sucrose and Timaeus, Paimon couldn't help but feel very conflicted and said helplessly: "No way? I wanted Timaeus to help me!"

"Help? Sure, what can I help you with?"

Paimon said seriously, "It's like this. A few days ago, I picked up a batch of very sweet sunset fruits in the mountains. But such sweet fruits will be gone after eating them, and I don't want to give them up... So I want you to help me make a device. Put the fruits in it and turn them into juice directly. This way, I can preserve them forever!"

[Kaeya: This is very Paimon! ]

[Keqing: Alchemy should be able to do it, right? Unfortunately, alchemy is not very applicable in Liyue]

[Alice: It's not that troublesome. It's just a juicer.]

【Ying'er: Squeeze! 】

【Lisa: Juice】

[Yae Shenzi: Ji? ]

[Navia: What on earth are you talking about? ]

[Funina: If there are blueprints, our Fontaine scientists should be able to make it.]

[Albedo: This is no longer alchemy...]

[Klee: Brother Albedo, Klee is back! Klee also brought you a lot of goodies, all of which are the latest models of Beng Beng! ]

[Nashida: ...Didn’t I destroy them all? ]

[Paimon: Ahem, little Klee has a lot of bad intentions]

[Kuki Shinobu: Hmm... I can understand making it into juice, but this thing can't be stored for too long, right? Even if it is placed in the Eye of God, it will be useless.]

[Yae Shenzi: Why not drink the water in Wuxiang Blade Gorge? It will refresh you.]

[Paimon: Shenzi, you are a very bad guy. If you drink one sip, I will die.]

[Alice: The entire periodic table in one breath]

...

Timaeus did not laugh at Paimon's fantastic idea. Instead, he touched his chin seriously, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that what you said... is not so easy to achieve..."

His tone revealed a sense of worry and uncertainty about the difficulties, as if although the idea was interesting, there were many challenges in making it a reality.

However, from his eyes, we can see that he did not completely deny Paimon's proposal, but was thinking about how to overcome the possible problems. Perhaps, with enough wisdom and effort, this seemingly impossible task is not completely impossible to accomplish.

Paimon looked at him with a suspicious look: "Huh? You can't even do this?"

Timaeus smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and explained: "Ahaha, Paimon has been saying some outrageous things since just now..."

Paimon pouted, turned around, looked at Sugar, and asked, "So, Sugar, what do you think?"

Sugar looked embarrassed and replied, "I'm sorry... What you want doesn't seem to be within my area of ​​expertise. If I really want to try, I might turn your precious fruit into fruit with hands and feet. (Fruity Robo)"

After hearing this, Timaeus shook his head with emotion and said, "Wow... Such a peaceful and terrifying description. Fortunately, I'm used to it..."

Sugar had a calm face and said slowly, "After all, my research field is bioalchemy... Besides, it's not very realistic to keep things fresh all the time. However, if you want to improve the fruit or seeds, I can help a little."

"Alchemists usually have their own unique research topics. For example, Timaeus, Mr. Albedo, and I all have different research directions. What Paimon wants is full of imagination... and it is also beyond the capabilities of Timaeus and me. I don't think even Mr. Albedo can make such an incredible device... After all, alchemy is not mechanical technology. There is a big difference between the two."

[Xianyun: Just leave this matter to me. A mere juicer is not worth mentioning.]

[Ying: The laurel you made for Yaoyao...it's hard to describe, it's just a stupid fairy...]

[Paimon: I'd better go find Ms. Alice. After all, she can travel to other worlds.]

[Alice: No, no, just rub it with your hands.]

[Kaeya: Doesn't Paimon have the power of time? Can't we just freeze its time? ]

[Cole: Mr. Kaia, you are truly a genius]

[Ningguang: Can we also freeze time...freeze age? ]

[Paimon: I...can't do it. It takes too much energy and strength.]

...

Paimon said with a dejected look on his face: "Is that so... I thought alchemy was omnipotent..."

Her big eyes, which had originally sparkled with light, now became dull, as if she had lost something important.

Seeing Paimon's lost look due to misunderstanding, Sucrose could not help but feel a surge of pity in her heart. Her bright eyes became gentle at this moment, and she said softly: "In fact, long before Mr. Albedo appeared, everyone in Mondstadt once thought that alchemy was a useless subject. But even now, I have to admit that alchemy is just one of the mysteries of the world, not a universal spell that can make matter last forever... Ah? Sorry, I don't mean to discourage you..."

Ying waved her hands quickly: "Don't blame yourself, the fault is Paimeng, I will discipline Paimeng strictly."

Paimon couldn't help stamping his feet and said to Ying unhappily, "I just want juice, what's wrong with that!"

[Keqing: Did Paimeng speak so irrelevantly before? ]

[Paimon: I have to grow up too... I used to be clueless and always said the wrong things, but now I'm grown up! However, the Ying on the screen is not as good as it is now, hehe]

[Alice: The longer the time, the deeper your bond will be, and you will become an inseparable part of each other]

[Kaeya: If the Traveler can defeat him, Paimon will stay behind him. If the Traveler can't defeat him, Paimon will be the first to rush forward.]

[Xiao Hei: I don't believe that the Traveler's brother and Tianli did nothing for those 500 years, otherwise where would Paimon come from?]

[Ying: Where did this wild history come from? It’s really wild.]

[Paimon: I am Sora's child? Pah, where did this unofficial history come from? It's a bunch of shit!]

[Keqing: Xiaohei! Don’t let me catch you]

【Xiao Hei: Hey!

...

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Sucrose immediately said timidly: "Ah, but what I just said were all my and Timaeus's subjective feelings. If you two really want this magical device...you can try to ask Mr. Albedo. If he can't do anything, then it should really be impossible."

Paimon recalled Albedo's gloomy face not long ago, and said weakly: "He is in a bad mood today. Will he ignore us?"

Timaus shook his head. Mr. Albedo was not that kind of person.

Ying also felt that this Albedo seemed a little different, but she didn't know why.

Paimon was still a little unwilling, and finally decided to try with Albedo. If it still didn't work, she would have to give up, so she asked: "By the way, where is Albedo going now? Is it the snowy mountains again?"

Sugar stroked her chin and said thoughtfully, "If nothing else, he's usually in the snowy mountains. Mr. Albedo seems to have a special liking for the snowy mountains. I really admire that he's not afraid of the cold."

After getting the exact answer, Paimeng said to Ying like a happy little bird: "Then let's go to the snowy mountains to find him. Let's set off now without further delay!"

...

Longji Snow Mountain

From afar, the two saw a lot of people gathered in the camp at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and they were all acquaintances.

Paimon pointed at the crowd and said, "Huh? It's quite lively over there, let's go over and take a look!"

In the bustling crowd, Amber, the girl wearing a bunny headband and exuding infinite energy, was the first to notice the two of them.

Her big, lively eyes suddenly brightened up, flashing with ecstasy. She waved her hands happily and shouted, "Ah, it's the Traveler and Paimon! I didn't expect to see you in the snowy mountains. Long time no see."

Her voice was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, echoing in the cold air, as if bringing a touch of warmth to the entire snow-capped mountain.

Paimon said in surprise: "Oh my! It's Amber! And President Serius and Palad... Why did you all come to the snowy mountains? Aren't you afraid of the cold weather here? I really admire you!" As he spoke, he rubbed his arms exaggeratedly to express his fear of the cold.

Serius folded his arms and laughed heartily like a bell. "Hahaha... Let me explain. Our Adventurer Association recently held a winter special training in the snowy mountains. As you know, the adventure experience of our members varies. It is very dangerous to rush into the snowy mountains alone in search of a breakthrough. So we made arrangements in advance, letting the seniors lead the juniors, and the experts accompany the rookies. We entered the snowy mountains together and trained in a protected environment."

"In this way, adventurers can make progress together. This is the great plan I have been preparing for half a year! It's great, right? Traveler, as an excellent adventurer, you will certainly be willing to join us and lend us a hand, right?"
