Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

When Tok mentioned that the hook's length was the same as the anchor, Ying deduced a fact.

(That young master, could it be that he's too busy and often forgets to prepare birthday presents, so he just casually pilfered a part from the ship on his way home and gave it to Tok? Let me guess... "Black Steel Jack" is probably the ship's cannon, and "Iron Block Tony" is probably the ship's hull or a cannonball?)

Just as Yingmei thought, "Captain Hook" is actually the anchor. "Black Steel Jack" and "Iron Block Tony" are also parts that Tartaglia casually took from the ship when he returned to winter because he forgot to prepare gifts.

Paimon looked at Tok with a pained expression and began to complain about D'Artagnan.

"I never expected the Winter Congress to abuse industrial resources like this for the sake of its executives' personal interests... But now that you mention it, it's not so surprising that Tok treats the Ruins Guardians like toys, is it?"

Seeing Paimon's sarcastic remarks, Huiyuan secretly disagreed.

(It's alright... He only used industrial resources, without using the executive's authority or spending a lot of money to find a designer to customize it. Sister Tongzi, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't hide the fact that I took out my general's badge and arrested the unscrupulous toy vendor to stand up for Toler Cat, which even attracted the attention of Keqing Cat from Yuheng Star!)

The system is speechless.

"I didn't say anything. Besides, System Grandma, I don't have eyes, I wasn't peeking at you. Sigh... System-sister really has no eyes, she can't bear to look..."

I don't know when it started, but the system's speech has become increasingly eccentric; perhaps the hardware has been upgraded again. It clearly stated before that resurrection was impossible, but on the day of the Immortal Sending Ceremony, it suddenly changed its tune and said resurrection was possible.

As an aside, it was mentioned in Chapter 34 that the system's model number is WR001, which is Unit-01. In other words, the system is the first, only, and most unique transmigration system in the system's world.

What Unit-01 represents needs no further explanation, right? Extremely fast evolution speed! Incredibly strong iterative capabilities! Even the most variable and ultimately removed feature—the emotional ability—is present in Unit-01. You could say Unit-01 is a mechanical life form!

Back to the main topic, Tok was showing off his good brother, and he got more and more excited as he talked, his thoughts starting to jump around.

"But Tok's favorite is still 'One-Eyed Treasure'! Besides looking for his brother, what he wants to do most this time is play with 'One-Eyed Treasure'! Hey, isn't there a fish sale over there? I want to go check it out!"

Without giving him any time to react, Tok dashed away in a flash.

Ying slapped her forehead in exasperation.

Paimon was angry, but didn't want to scold the child, so he called out softly, "Hey! Don't run around like that!"

......

"Is this a fish market? So this is what the fish look like in Liyue... They're so small."

Tok looked at the fish on the stall and said with little interest.

When fishmonger Lao Gao heard someone say that his fish were small, he immediately became unhappy.

"Whose fish are you calling small? You're so young, why don't you learn something good instead of trying to cause trouble?"

Old Gao was tall and burly, with a slightly fierce appearance. When he roared, Paimon was so frightened that he quickly protected Tok.

"He's just looking around, don't take kids seriously..."

Old Gao was too lazy to pay attention to the child anymore. Seeing that the business was not going to work, he turned his attention away and went to do other things.

Seeing that the other party did not pursue the matter, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief.

“But…Tok, the fish here seem to be quite large. Have you ever seen fish that were bigger than these before?”

Tok observed Paimon, comparing the scene to his memory, and said uncertainly, "Hmm, about two hundred of you?"

Looking at the tiny Paimon, Ying compared it to the giant whale that the young master had released in her memory, and said casually, "That wasn't that big."

"Hey! Two hundred of me could crush you!"

Ignoring Ying's usual teasing of Paimon, Tok continued talking about fish.

“There’s a legend in my hometown that mentions that it’s a very delicious fish. After my brother heard me say that, he went out to sea to help me catch fish. A few days later, my brother brought back the big fish on his shoulders, and my brother Anton and I were very happy.”

After hearing Tok's description, Paimon retorted, "That...is it really a fish? I think it's some kind of monster from the Nether Sea..."

Yingmei commented, "This feels like a topic Xiangling would be interested in..."

Huiyuan said speechlessly, "I knew your brother doted on you, but I didn't expect him to spoil you to this extent..."

Tok chuckled awkwardly twice, then his mind wandered to another direction.

"Hey, big sister, let's go take another look at the boat over there!"

This time, Tok didn't suddenly leave as before; instead, he obediently offered his thoughts first. It seems D'Artagnan's family education is excellent; his growth is incredibly rapid.

As Tok watched the ships coming and going in the harbor, he thought of his brother and felt a pang of resentment.

D'Artagnan always traveled home by boat, so whenever a boat docked, Tok would eagerly await his brother's arrival. Because of this, waiting for his brother's return at the harbor became a daily routine for young Tok.

Seeing Tok wriggling around, Paimon couldn't help but worry.

"What's wrong, Tok? Are you tired of playing? Why do you seem a little unhappy?"

"I miss my brother..."

Paimon tilted his head in confusion.

"But didn't you just separate not long ago?"

"The time I spent with my brother before was too short, it doesn't count! Take me to find my brother! I've had enough fun here!"

Huiyuan wasn't impatient; she was simply reminiscing about the time on Earth when her parents were still alive.

Her father was busy working every day to support the family. Little Huiyuan's favorite thing to do was to wait by the door, playing with her toys and listening for the sound of her father coming home up the stairs. Because of this, Huiyuan developed a skill: she could tell who was coming home just by their footsteps.

It wasn't through analyzing the crispness or heaviness of the sounds, but simply through intuition, because of the whole family, only the father's footsteps sounded tired, while the mother's footsteps sounded a little muddy.

Thinking of this, Huiyuan patted Tok's head, comforting him as she had comforted her past self.

"Okay, I'll take you to find your brother. Don't be sad."

Seeing that Huiyuan was comforting Tok, Paimon shrugged and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do, kids never have enough patience. Well, we've played with Tok for quite a while now, haven't we? We've done our best... Young Master said he'd be by the river near Qingxupu, so let's go find him."
