Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Moreover, after stealing something, it will hide it nearby and then transport it to the depths of the forest all at once once it has a certain amount.

It has to be said that this crab is quite clever; it's even smarter than Paimon.

After several searches, Tina was still puzzled.

Mechanical creations operate according to commands, so what is the owner behind this crab's motive for having it steal mechanical parts?

They could have easily stolen higher-value goods, or directly stolen Mora after the goods were sold; that would have been far more efficient than stealing mechanical parts.

It doesn't seem like it was for an experiment that urgently needed mechanical parts, because they usually hide things first and then send them away when there are more goods.

The caravans arrived at intervals that were not short, so this didn't seem like an urgent need.

With no other option, Tinari had to resort to using mechanical parts for 'entrapment'.

You know what, it actually works! Maybe mechanical crabs are still crabs after all, because they can actually be caught while 'fishing', so you don't end up empty-handed.

Tinari only brought a bag of mechanical parts and a pack animal to pretend, which lured the mechanical crab out.

Ordinary foresters and merchants' guards couldn't handle it, but who was this traveler? He was incredibly muscular!

Yingmei quickly dealt with the mechanical crab. The mechanical crab couldn't fight back or run away, so it lay down on the ground, covered its face, and acted like a spoiled child.

After defeating the crab, Paimon asked a few questions, but the mechanical crab seemed completely unable to understand.

Since communication failed, they gave up. Tinari searched for the merchant's goods nearby and reminded the mechanical crab:

"I don't know why you're stealing these mechanical parts, but they don't belong to you."

"What's stolen should eventually be returned to its rightful owner. Do you have any objections to that?"

The mechanical crab didn't quite understand, but it grasped what Tinali meant, and lay dejectedly on the ground like a little puppy.

"Tinari continued, 'You've come from deep within the contaminated zone, haven't you? In that case, how about doing us a favor?'"

"If you lead us there, I'll give you mechanical parts as a reward."

The mechanical crab suddenly stood up, and its entire being... its entire machine looked much more energetic.

It has to be said that Tinari is truly a 'dog training expert'.

The crab's mysterious obsession with mechanical parts has piqued the curiosity of readers. What is the reason for this obsession?

This mechanical crab is indeed interesting. It doesn't feel like a simple mechanical creation; it looks more like a mechanical dog.

It seems unable to understand or speak human language, but it appears to be able to sense the meaning and emotions of the other person from their words.

Just being able to do this is already a major breakthrough in mechanical creation. This mechanical creation can not only execute commands, but also seems to have some 'emotions'!

Emotions are a very strange thing; a creature that cannot think would not have emotions.

Does this mean that this mechanical crab is thinking? Has it already developed some form of 'life'?

Chapter 517 More Useful Machines Than Paimon

The scholars of Sumeru breathed a little heavier. Who invented this? Wouldn't it make them famous?

Based on this alone, the other party's academic status, even if not comparable to a sage, is definitely that of a high-level scholar! Mechanical life, the Order of the Church has not made a breakthrough in decades.

But...why haven't I heard of it?

This is very puzzling. Isn't Mount Sumeru a land of wisdom? Shouldn't such research findings remain unknown?

As readers continued to read with doubts, some even wondered if the other party wasn't actually a Sumeru being at all, but simply conducting experiments here?

At this point, readers were unaware of how difficult it was to conduct academic research in Sumeru, where it was not recognized by the sages.

In the story, Tinari places a ring of 'landmines' around the mechanical crab to prevent it from escaping, while he and the traveler return to the merchant to return the goods.

After exchanging goods for spring herbs and using them to manufacture medicine to stabilize the child's condition, Tinari and the travelers came to the contaminated area to investigate.

The mechanical crab led the way, with Tinari and the traveler following behind.

The contaminated area has a great impact on ordinary people, but those with the divine eye can resist this pollution.

So how come Paimon was able to follow along as if nothing had happened? She seemed even more energetic than the Traveler.

Incidentally, at this point in the story, Tinari in the book also identified the 'Sumeru Popular Plant'—the Sumeru Rose.

"The scientific name of this flower is *Rosa simonii*, and it also has a nickname: 'Earth Vein Marker.'"

The Sumeru Rose will become brighter and brighter with the energy of the earth's veins, and at this moment, the Sumeru Rose here is as bright as a lamp.

So, the appearance of polluted areas is due to disordered earth veins? Can earth veins really explain everything?

The exact reason is still unclear and requires further investigation.

As Paimon walked, he noticed something unusual: there seemed to be no animals in the woods.

Paimon: "I remember there used to be a lot of birdsong in the woods, and lots of little foxes too..."

Paimon had barely finished saying 'little fox' when he gave his reply.

[Tinari: "Currently, it appears there is indeed a severe leak of ley line energy in the contaminated area, which is likely the main cause of the patients' mental confusion."]

Animals are much more sensitive and moved away a long time ago, so there aren't many animals in the forest now.

However, this is not a big problem. The animals will come back once the pollution is resolved. After all, competing with other animals for territory is not a good strategy.

[Tinari: "Climate, temperature, air humidity, the strength of the earth's vein energy, etc., in a fixed environment, people will achieve a certain 'balance' with their surroundings."]

"When the surrounding environment changes suddenly, this balance is disrupted, and the human body will become abnormal."

Tina means: As the saying goes, one's environment shapes one's character!

Just like people from low altitudes experience altitude sickness when they go to high altitudes, but people living at an altitude of 3000 meters do not.

Conversely, people at high altitudes can also experience oxygen intoxication when they go to low altitudes, which is a manifestation of the "balance" being disrupted.

These readers could understand, but what puzzled them was why Paimon didn't react.

The Tinari and the Traveler can use elemental power and are resistant to ley line energy, so why is Paimon like that?

Could it be that she, like the mechanical crab next to her, is actually a mechanical life form?

Regardless, in the hearts of all readers, Paimon is already an extraordinary being, and it is immediately obvious that she is not 'human'.

In the story, Tinari takes out his magical gadget, a device that can temporarily stabilize the ley lines.

This device can only temporarily stabilize the pollution; it cannot purify it. To purify it, we need to find the root cause of the pollution, which requires a mechanical crab to lead the way.

As a result, the mechanical crab stopped moving, its front claws turned into shields, and it huddled up like a trembling puppy.

The 'mechanical puppy' is scared because a group of 'swamp puppies (crocodiles)' have come.

After stabilizing the ley lines in Tina, they returned and, finding that someone was taking over their territory, surrounded them.

Unfortunately, they chose the wrong people; the 'desert dog' is not afraid of the 'swamp dog'.

After dealing with the swamp dog, they encountered the mechanical jellyfish. It has to be said that this forest is full of talented people.

Even more outrageous, after dealing with the mechanical jellyfish, they discovered there was actually a human there!

There are still people in this place? Hu Tao recalled Lin Qiu's story of 'Journey to the West'. If this were 'Journey to the West', this person would definitely be a demon!

Thankfully, this isn't Journey to the West; this is just an ordinary person. If Tina had arrived a few days later, he would have died here.

After saving the person, Tinari also gave the mechanical crab a part as a reward.

Tinari began training the dogs.

As evening approached, it was getting late, so they had to camp in the woods.

[Tinari stands on high ground: "Hey—over here—"]

Tina waved her hand, and seeing that Ying hadn't noticed her yet, she couldn't help but scold:

"Idiot. Look up!"

For some reason, Tina's "stupid" resonated with everyone.

How should I put it? They were clearly calling me stupid, but why does it feel a little like they're spoiling me? Oh no, I'm getting all excited. Could I be in love?

Tina's trick works on both men and women; both male and female readers have fallen for it.

Female readers were alright, but male readers immediately started flipping through the earlier stories to find beautiful girl illustrations to calm their minds and strengthen their resolve.

I really am XXX's dog. Coincidentally, Tina is also a 'dog training master'.

In the story, the traveler arrives at the location of Tinari and helps to start a fire and set up a tent, but Paimon, who goes out to look for food, finds nothing.

On the contrary, the mechanical crab found a lot of food and brought it back, so you could say it's smarter than Paimon.

[Traveler: "It feels more useful than Paimon."]

In reality, Paimon got angry, left Yingmei's embrace, flew in the air, and turned his head away from Yingmei, as if to tell her—coax me.

Ying didn't react and continued reading. She wasn't wrong; it was indeed more useful than Paimon.

To be honest, to be fair, and to be reasonable, it's true.

Paimon, as a guide, couldn't find the way, and as emergency food, he couldn't find any food at all; he was basically a parasite raised by travelers.

The mechanical crab is different; it can actually help, fight, find food, and even lead the way. It's much more useful than Paimon.

Unfortunately, its act of finding food did not earn it a reward from Tinari, who reasoned that its help was not important enough and that rewarding everything would encourage the other party to take shortcuts.

Tina will remember these small things and give them to Tina later when she does better.

All I can say is that Tinari is a natural-born owner; he knows how to raise pets so well.

Ke Lai didn't feel anything was wrong, because that's how her master treated her.

Good behavior is rewarded, and even small things are noted down, it's all the same.

Wait, Cole suddenly realized, Masaka!

Character Voice Acting - Lei Movie: About Mechanical Life

"To say that the general is a mechanical life form? Although I don't know the human definition of that, I don't think so."

Chapter 518 Paimon is pretty awesome

The mechanical crab in the story is clearly less sensible than Cole, because it lies on the ground in disappointment because it didn't get a reward, just like someone who failed to touch Miss Fox's tail.

Seeing its expression, Tina was worried that it might misunderstand something strange, so she gave it a small reward in the end.

This is called delayed gratification. It prevents the other party from taking shortcuts and keeps them motivated. Dog training masters are no better than this.

Some readers who like Tina Li but are also a bit perverted just want to say: Woof woof woof.

In the story, the traveler and Tinari take turns keeping watch, while Paimon sleeps soundly in the glowing blankets.

During the handover in the middle of the night, the two exchanged a few words, during which one piece of information was revealed.

A few years ago, the Academy was keen on researching 'mechanical life', wanting to create a 'useful' life form through intelligence.

But they failed, and as the research became increasingly fanatical, the study of mechanical life was eventually abandoned.

What readers don't know at this time is that this abolition is not a true abolition; the Church still has a great interest in mechanical life.

The Great Sage forbids you little Karami from conducting research, but his people are allowed to, and have even gone from creating mechanical life to creating gods.

Unfortunately, even the wisest sage who could unify all of Mount Sumeru could not figure it out, and the Doctor was still needed to lead the research.

It should be known that the Sumeru people do not dream, because their dreams have been constantly taken away by the Great Sage for study, but to no avail.

Look at Alain and René next door, gods? Mechanical life forms? Is it that difficult?

Do we really need to integrate the wisdom of a single nation? Really?

If the wisdom of a nation like Sumeru were given to the Doctor, he could create a god in a short time; if given to Nasita, she could defeat a god in a short time.

If given to the Great Sage, he... he doesn't seem to have accomplished anything.

However, such a comparison is a bit unfair to the Great Sage, since the other two can also create and defeat gods even without the wisdom of Sumeru, it just takes them more time.

That's normal; those who become great sages are all old scholars whose thinking has long been confined.
