Mr. Zhongli, we can't slack off anymore!

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest.

In his panic, the traveler grabbed Zhongli's sleeve.

Long, slender fingers, through the leather glove, covered the back of her hand, slowly tightening, and placed her hand into another waiting palm.

"Traveler. In Liyue, when people express their feelings for each other, they never use the word 'like'."

"What do you use?"

"I'll tell you when we meet again."

He easily covered up the questions that should have been asked.

What's wrong with you, Zhongli?

The more you try to hold on to something, the less likely you are to actually grasp it.

I never guessed what he didn't want to tell me.

Hall of Rebirth.

"I told you, where in the world is there a better job than at the Hall of Rebirth? You'll all be coming back sooner or later." Hu Tao stood in the hall with her hands on her hips, feeling delighted at the travelers' return.

"Please, Master, take me in." In contrast, the traveler was completely devoid of life, appearing lifeless.

"No problem, no problem! We're all friends!" Hu Tao put her arm around the traveler's shoulder: "From now on, I'll protect you!"

"A place to stay and enough to eat and drink is all I need." The traveler's requirements are not high.

Not high, right...?

"Meals and lodging included, your satisfaction guaranteed!"

"Thank you for your help again, Master."

"I heard from Xiangling that the guest elder has also returned. Where is he?"

"He... probably went to visit a friend."

"Oh I got it……"

He said that since I insisted on coming back, I would have to walk my own path from now on.

Originally, I was supposed to walk this path myself.

I accidentally stumbled into a shortcut and slacked off under his protection.

The real journey begins after I leave him.

However, we will need to stay in Liyue for a while longer.

When I left Teyvat, he kept all my belongings and sent them all to the shrine of the dead.

The staff dormitory at Wangshengtang is quite spacious, with one bedroom per person and shared bathrooms, and separate facilities for men and women. While staying at a hotel, I didn't realize how much stuff I had, but when Shenhe brought it over, the bedroom was piled high with bags and packages.

The teapot on the table is new and empty; now I'll have to make my own tea.

I changed out of my Fontaine clothes and put on the clothes I often wore when I was working at the Rebirth Hall. I checked my luggage and tidied up my room.

Everything else is fine, but I don't know how to store the weapons.

arms……

After returning to Liyue, there was something I forgot...

*

Haimo Village.

“I noticed you weren’t using a weapon during the fight. Did you forget to bring one?” Fucaros stared at the traveler’s hands. “Do you perhaps prefer hand-to-hand combat?”

"I've landed in Liyue." Although it's Liyue 500 years in the future.

"That's actually the case."

"However, it's actually not very useful to bring it. I've already forgotten how to use a spear since I just learned it."

"Then you'd better do your best. If you had a suitable weapon when you fight the demon, I might not have had a chance to appear."

"Sigh... my weapon is too heavy and doesn't fit my hand very well. Maybe I'm just not suited to using guns." The traveler felt that his inability to use a gun well was due to his laziness.

"Then the weapon is unsuitable. How about we customize a new one?"

"I'm only working sporadically, so it doesn't matter what I use."

"Miss Traveler, how long have you been dealing with elemental power?"

"It's been less than a month..." Lv recalled that she rarely used elemental power.

How is less than a month calculated? It's when you suddenly remember that you can still use elemental power and conjure up a few pebbles.

"Children with the Eye of God may never be able to wield elemental power like you in their entire lives."

"is it?"

Does she mean I'm very strong?

It's clear that I'm still far from the level I should be able to reach.

What kind of power would it take to save the world?

I can't see the end.

“You helped me in Fontainebleau, so as the water goddess, I’ll give you a little gift.” Floros placed a blue, transparent tooth in the traveler’s palm.

"What is this?" From an elemental perspective, the teeth on his hand possessed extremely powerful elemental energy.

"The teeth of the Water Elemental Dragon King."

"That Vilette's?"

"No, it comes from the ancient Water Dragon King. I hadn't figured out how to use it yet. I'm giving it to you now. You might be able to forge a weapon that's uniquely yours using it as raw material."

"It...is too expensive."

"Then if you see the water god named Fucarus again next time, give it back to me."

"it is good……"

*

Should we use it or not?

Or should we just treat it as a keepsake...?

*

Hanfeng Ironware.

A century-old shop in Liyue.

"You mean you want to order a weapon?" asked the shop owner, Lao Zhang.

"Yes," the traveler affirmed.

"Heavens above! Thank you, Lord Rock King, for watching over us! I, Old Zhang, can now forge weapons for the possessor of the Eye of God!" Old Zhang knelt down abruptly, clasped his hands in prayer, and murmured, "Thank you, Lord Rock King! Thank you..."

The traveler stood frozen to one side, unsure how to react.

Passersby noticed something was amiss and turned to look.

"Miss Lü! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!" After kneeling to thank Emperor Yan, Old Zhang bowed ninety degrees to express his gratitude to the traveler.

"But...shouldn't I be the one thanking you?"

"Miss doesn't understand. A blacksmith can only be called a swordsmith if he forges a famous sword; otherwise, he can only be a blacksmith!"

"I see... But what I need to make is a gun."

Iron, swords, knives...

“Same principle.”

"I'm just a nobody, it won't become famous if it follows me."

The old saying goes that a famous sword is only called a famous sword when it is used by a famous person.

"Miss Traveler, you must succeed! I believe you are destined for greatness!"

"Hehehe...hehe...I appreciate your kind words."

"Do you think it's possible to incorporate my treasure into it?" The traveler handed the dragon tooth to Old Zhang.

"I've never seen such a treasure before. Let me give it a try." Old Zhang examined the dragon tooth repeatedly.

"Is there anything else I need to prepare? Ore? Wood?" The traveler remembered that making a gun seemed to require a blank, fifty pieces of white iron, and fifty pieces of crystal.

However, if it's a custom-made five-star weapon, the traveler doesn't know what materials to submit... Where in the game can five-star weapons be forged?

Why can't the weapons in Another World Traveler be five-star?!

"Look at what you're saying, how can a weapons business not even have raw materials?"

Hey Ami! I'm just asking you, why do I have to mine ore myself to make a weapon at the weapon shop?!

"You make a lot of sense!"

A weapons shop without raw materials is like a restaurant without vegetables.

"There's one more thing. Custom-made weapons are made based on the customer's arm length, height, hand length, and arm strength. Let me take your measurements first."

"That's what you call professional!"

We're going to have our own personal armed forces too.

"When can I come to pick up my weapon?"

"Around next year."

"next year?"
