Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"How can that be possible? After all, I've received so much care from you guys." Karen said, scratching her head and looking at the watermelon peel lying beside her.

"Okay, then let me ask you, do you have money with you?" A Yao asked with a smile, folding his hands.

Just as everyone was about to speak, she immediately added, "Just to be clear, my grandmother, my husband, and I all live in Shaling, so we only accept sand coins. And I see you're all from other places, so you probably haven't had time to transfer the currency yet, right?"

"Ah, that's true." Tianlang scratched his ear and smiled awkwardly.

"Then can we pay with something else?" Kailin said, pulling out a few shiny black stones from her cloth bag. "I heard the black stones from Wolf Mountain are worth quite a bit, so see if you can..."

A Yao was silent for a moment as he looked at the black stone in Kailin's hand. Then he reached out and took it, examining it carefully under the sunlight. "Let me see, it's quite good quality. I think the local gem merchants can get you a lot of money if I take it to them. Well, since you're so persistent, I won't make it difficult for you. Wait a moment, I'll pack it for you."

A Yao turned and walked into the house. After a while, she dragged out a large box with great effort. Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to help and put the watermelons neatly into the box one by one.

The box was soon filled, and then A Yao found some hay to pad the gaps between the watermelons to prevent them from colliding with each other during transportation.

"Although this box is a bit old, it is very sturdy and should be able to ensure that the watermelons arrive at your destination safely." A Yao patted the box and said.

Tianlang smiled and said, "Ms. Yao, that's very thoughtful. This way we don't have to worry about the watermelon rolling around."

A Yao smiled and said, "You're welcome, but the watermelons are very heavy recently. I'll go back and see if there are camels or something that can serve as carriages, which will save a lot of effort."

"That's not necessary." Kailin said, then walked forward.

Just when A Yao was feeling puzzled, Kailin suddenly showed the ring on her middle finger, and in the blink of an eye, the whole boxes of watermelons disappeared.

"Am I seeing things? It disappeared?" She said in surprise, staring.

At this moment, Kailin turned around and said with a smile, "You're not mistaken. This is a storage ring. You can also think of it as a magical item. It makes storing things much more convenient."

Hearing this, A Yao suddenly understood. She nodded with a look of surprise and curiosity and said, "Oh, I see. That's really convenient."

A-Yao circled around Kailin curiously, his eyes fixed on the ring. "This is truly a magical thing! I've never seen it before. You come from far away, so you really have a lot of wonderful things that we don't have here."

At this time, Zi Xuan looked at Mo Yan and whispered, "Well, she might not know yet, but in the game, this is a free game prop given to players when they join the game."

"Shh, speak softly so she won't hear you." Zhao Heng whispered.

At this time, Tianlang smiled and said, "Okay, now that the watermelons are packed, let's get on the road."

"Okay!" everyone responded at the same time.

But at this moment, A Yao suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, are you sure you want to set off in such a hurry?"

"Although it's still several hundred miles from here to Shaling, it's probably difficult to get there with your current water resources, right?" she asked.

"Oh, Ms. Yao, there's no need to worry about that. My partner and I know what we're doing." Tianlang said.

A-Yao frowned slightly, seemingly unconvinced by Tianlang's words. She glanced at everyone and said, "Alright, but I'm still a little worried. The desert isn't just dangerous because of water shortages. There are also many hidden quicksand traps. Falling into one could be very troublesome."

Kailin stepped forward and said, "Ms. Ayao, you are such a kind person. You told us so many precautions. We will be careful, so don't worry too much."

"It's mainly because I was too anxious. If I had let Grandma Zhu know that I had paid for the melons before I left, she would have definitely refunded the full amount."

Kailin thought so.

A Yao sighed and said, "Well, I hope you can arrive at Shaling safely."

After thanking A Yao again, everyone set off towards Shaling under the guidance of Tianlang.

They walked very fast on the road. In order not to waste time, after getting away from the shed, Kailin took out the motorcycle and took Mo Yan and Tianlang to continue forward, while Zhao Heng flew in the air on Zixuan's staff, looking forward to the road ahead.

"But speaking of which, why don't you let him help you fill up the water tank?" Mo Yan asked.

Kailin looked at the road, sighed, and said, "I wanted to, but look at the situation at the time. How could I have the nerve to do that?"

"Indeed, lack of water is the biggest problem in the desert. Grandma Azhu and the others have already given us a lot. If we keep asking for more, I'm afraid it will end badly in the end." Tianlang said.

Kailin nodded. "That's right. Now we have no choice but to get to Shaling first and then make plans. Hey, I haven't used this motorcycle much lately. I hope it doesn't break down anytime soon."

"Hey, stop being such a pessimist at a time like this!" Mo Yan complained.

At this time, Zi Xuan, who was flying in the air on her staff, deliberately lowered her altitude and said, "But our Kailin still has a solution. She thought of paying the fee this way, so she doesn't have to worry about being owed anything in the future."

"Hehe, of course. But the issue of collecting the money depends on how Miss Yao handles it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she tightened the throttle on her motorcycle, increasing its speed. The motorcycle sped through the desert, kicking up a cloud of yellow sand. Zi Xuan, meanwhile, soared through the air in pursuit. Although it was a bit tiring, she was still able to keep up.

Well, I have to say, having so many vehicles is really convenient.

About half an hour later, a patch of green suddenly appeared in front of them. Just when everyone was wondering whether it was a mirage, as the green got closer and closer, they suddenly widened their eyes.

It was a rainforest. From a distance, the rainforest looked like a huge, emerald green carpet, lushly spread across the earth, forming a sharp and strong contrast with the surrounding yellow sand desert.

At the edge of the rainforest, towering trees stood like loyal guards, their canopies like giant green umbrellas, their branches intertwined and overlapping, forming a natural barrier. As sunlight streamed down upon this sea of ​​green, the layers of leaves seemed coated in gold, shimmering with a mysterious and captivating light.

"This is, a rainforest? How can there be a rainforest here?" Karen asked in confusion on the spot.
