Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"Ah, my great general!"

"Haha, I won again! Boss, your insect fighting skills aren't very good. You were defeated in just one round!"

Yun Ling laughed wildly with her hands on her hips, while Yi Dou looked completely abandoned by the world.

Yun Ling didn't care how ugly Yi Dou's face was. She smiled and took the three scoops of ice cream that Yi Dou had used as a wager. Seeing the pained look on his face, she felt extremely happy.

Ha, you think you can beat me, the Ghost Beetle?

Don't even think about it!

"Hmph! My skills are very strong, it's just a pity I don't have a Ghost Beetle that matches my strength, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have lost!"

Yun Ling pursed her lips; he'd said that so many times already.

"Oh, it's Yinghe Paimon, you're back!"

Upon seeing Ying and Paimon, Yunling immediately ran over, her face beaming with smiles. However, upon seeing Paimon's appearance, Yunling became puzzled:

"Paimon, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Here, have some ice cream to cheer yourself up."

Yunling gave Paimon the ice cream she had just won, and after Paimon took a bite, he was indeed less upset.

When Yunling learned that Ying and Paimon were planning to go to Sumeru, she felt a surge of excitement. She also longed to travel abroad, but alas…

Yunling finally decided to hold a lively farewell party for Ying and Paimeng so that they could enjoy themselves before they set off.

Ying and Paimon naturally agreed, and the group made a pact to have dinner together when it got dark.

Yunling also invited all of Ying's friends from Inazuma, including the Kamisato siblings, Yoomiya, Kujo Sara, Hayato, Kojima... and even Goro, who recently came to Narukami Island, was not spared.

Having learned from the previous experience, Yunling made a special trip to invite Shenzi and Ying this time.

To Yunling's surprise, they all refused.

Ying could understand Yun Ling's refusal, but she didn't understand why the Divine Child refused, since she had come uninvited last time.

After leaving Ying, Yunling obtained an "egg"?

It should be considered an egg, right? Ying said this thing could protect her. Although Yunling didn't think it looked like one at all, since it was Ying who said so, she obediently carried it with her.

After leaving the divine child, Yunling received a guarantee.

Yes, it's a guarantee she made to the goddess. The guarantee states that Yunling will definitely go to Narukami Shrine tomorrow to cook something delicious for the wise and beautiful goddess Yae!

After receiving the guarantee, Yunling finally understood why the Divine Child had refused.

……

Soon it was time for the farewell dinner, and everyone came to see Ying and Paimon off.

They are the great heroes who saved Inazuma. Without them, Inazuma would probably still be in a closed country, and many of the people present would have had their God's Eyes confiscated.

Everyone was happy, and Paimon temporarily forgot his unpleasantness and ate to his heart's content.

Just like last time, this dinner party lasted until late at night.

Ying and Paimon ate their fill and didn't go to bed until very late.

Before setting off, you must eat and sleep well.

The next day, Ying and Paimon got up early, said goodbye to Yunling, and used the teleportation anchor to arrive at the location of the Liyue Lava Abyss.

This time, their target is—Mount Sumeru.

Chapter 154 Arrival at Huacheng Guo

Sumeru.

Cyria noticed that the Church had become very strange during this time, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.

Especially the Great Sage Azar. Cyria already disliked him, but for some reason she disliked him even more lately. Every time she went to the Faculty and saw him, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Some scholars approached Cyria, wanting to invite her to participate in some project.

Cyria refused them, but they came several more times, offering increasingly better terms, which made Cyria even more suspicious, so she refused them again and again.

These people eventually seemed to lose patience and stopped inviting her.

Celia told her teacher, Elhesen, about it. Elhesen approved of her actions and then prepared to send her into the rainforest.

"Teacher, you said you wouldn't let me go on the investigation..."

Cyria weakly retorted.

"I'm not asking you to go on an investigation. You know Tinari of the Biophysical School, right? Didn't you want to touch his ear? This time you're going there to study, and you have to submit a paper when you come back."

Elhesen handed a letter to Celia: "Give this to Tinari and he'll know."

Cyril's eyes widened. How did the teacher know she wanted to touch... cough, no, I'm getting off-topic.

"Teacher, I don't want to go to the rainforest, there are so many bugs there."

"How about we go to the desert then..."

"No, actually the rainforest isn't so bad, and I'm not that afraid of bugs..."

……

As Celia emerged from Elhesen's house, she sighed. "Damn it, why do I have to write a paper?"

I'm not a proponent of life theory, yet they're asking me to write a paper on life theory!

Hmph, I'll write it then. A life on easy mode needs no explanation!

However, the original plan was to wait for Ying and Paimon in Sumeru City, but now they have to leave a little earlier.

This time, however, she cannot be the first person the traveler encounters.

Oh well, I can't escape it anyway. Going to the rainforest is tomorrow's plan. I'll just go home, pack my things, and get a good night's sleep.

I hope to dream of Lord Little Lucky Grass...

……

The next day, Celia packed her bags, bid farewell to her teacher Elhesen, and set off alone for Huacheng Guo.

She had been there before, though it was a long time ago, but she never forgot the way.

Yesterday, she did indeed dream of Lord Little Lucky Grass. Celia asked him about the reason why the Order Academy had become strange recently. Unfortunately, although Lord Grass knew the truth, he did not tell her the truth.

Cyria guessed that she didn't have much ability right now, and the Grass King felt that even if he told her, it wouldn't be of much use.

Speaking of which, it seems that Cyria dreamed of the Grass King when she was very young, I think it was when she was picking up trash.

I just don't know if this Eye of God was given by the Grass King, or rather, by the Tree King.

This morning, Celia specially prepared some food to bring with her, just so she could eat on the road.

Just as she stepped out of Sumeru City, Celia encountered a strange man.

The second seat of the Fools' Executive Officers – [Doctor] Dottore.

Of course, Cilia was unaware of Dotole's current identity.

Dotore stood in the path that Cilia would inevitably take, with his hands behind his back, seemingly waiting for her.

Seemingly sensing Cyria's arrival, Dotore turned around: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Cyria. You may not know me, but that's alright. It's enough that I know you."

"Celia, the youngest genius of the School of Profound Theory, I know you, I've read your papers, and you truly deserve the title of genius..."

Dotore continued talking to himself, completely oblivious to whether Cyria was listening or not.

"Unfortunately, your talent is completely limited. You shouldn't be confined to the school of subtle theories. The world's knowledge is vast and boundless, and very few people have glimpsed the truth. I am one of them. If you listen to me and learn from me, you will be another one."

“My arrival is just right for me, but too abrupt for you. I don’t expect you to give me an answer so quickly. People like us have our own way of thinking. I believe that after experiencing some things, you will see the essence of things and make the right choice.”

"I will patiently wait for your choice."

After saying this, Dotole left without waiting for Cyria's reply.

Cyril stood there, stunned, carrying her luggage.

Who is this guy?

Why is he telling me all this?

Cyria slowed down as she pondered what the man had just said.

It was obvious he wanted to learn from him on his own, but…

why?

If she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and focused on the present.

The rainforest of Sumeru is rich in plant species; you can easily pick a few to complete Professor Elhesen's thesis requirements.

But Cyria wasn't the kind of person who did things casually; she liked to do everything well.

For her, doing one thing well is often more rewarding than completing ten things.

The distance from Xumi City to Huacheng Guo is not actually far, but Xilia stopped frequently along the way, deliberately pausing to admire the beautiful scenery.

So she didn't arrive at Huacheng Guo until it got dark in the evening.

Following the road she remembered, Celia found the people who lived there.

She could find out where Tinari lived by asking anyone, and Celia went to visit her directly.

Upon arriving at Tinari's residence, the first person Celia saw was surprisingly Kolei.

"Hey, Cole."

When Cole heard someone calling her, she looked in the direction of the voice and her mind raced when she saw Celia.

Then, it seems I still can't quite remember.

"I am Celia. Have you forgotten? I'm the researcher who came to Huacheng Guo to conduct investigations a year ago!"

I was wearing a school uniform at the time, and there were a few other people with me. Besides, girls my age change every year.

Although Celia and Cole had a good relationship back then, it's normal that Cole wouldn't recognize her after so much time has passed.

After Cyria said her name, Cole finally remembered. She touched her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Cyria, I didn't recognize you."

"What's this? We haven't seen each other for so long. I'm here on a mission from my teacher. Cole, is Teacher Tinari inside?"

"Yes, I'm here. I'll go call him for you."

Cyria waited for a while, and then Tinari came out and called her in.

“Teacher Tinari, this is a letter that my teacher, Elhesen, asked me to give to you.”

After reading the letter, Tinari thought for a while and said to Celia, "I understand. You seem to have a good relationship with Cole. Why don't you two make do and rest together tonight? I'll find you a place to stay tomorrow."

Tinari looked at Cole: "Cole, is it convenient for you?"

"Yes, Master."

Celia left with Cole because Tinari seemed to need to treat someone who had accidentally eaten a poisonous mushroom.

"Colette, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"They're doing very well, everyone who's become Guo is doing very well..."

The two had always gotten along well, and now that old friends had reunited, Cole was initially a little socially awkward and embarrassed, but under Celia's guidance, he gradually opened up.

Chapter 155 Thesis Topic

Ying and Paimon crossed the giant rock abyss and entered the Sumeru realm, where Paimon continued to act as her guide.

"The current deity of Sumeru is the Little Auspicious Grass King. If we want to see her, we need to cross the rainforest to Sumeru City. However, according to Ying's description, she doesn't seem to be the same deity who stopped you and your brother back then."

As Ying walked through the rainforest of Sumeru, looking at her surroundings, she felt much more relaxed.

The trees in Sumeru are very tall, taller than the trees in any other country that Ying had visited before. Is it because Sumeru is the kingdom of the grass god?

As Ying walked, she discovered a very serious problem.

"Paimon, are we lost?"

Paimon scratched his head and looked around. There were tree trunks and vines everywhere, and the road ahead was not very clear.

They looked back at the path they had just walked...
