"Master Lu, look, I have good news, and you're the first person I thought of. You have to thank me."
Venti, acting very familiar, sat down in a seat and looked at the person in front of him, continuing, "Since I'm being so nice to you, shouldn't you buy me a drink?"
It could only be Venti, always thinking about drinking. A dandelion wine would be perfect.
"You tell me what's going on first, and see if it's valuable to me. Otherwise, don't even think about it."
Diluc was also a tough person, not fearing Venti at all. The Traveler had already reached Liyue, and the matters of Mondstadt were long over. This meant that the handsome young man in front of him knew Venti's identity, but even so, his manner of speaking hadn't changed.
"Oh, it's just that next to Wolvendom, there's a new shop that opened. A few days ago, I thought you also saw that huge unidentified flying object, so I've been there these past few days."
"No wonder I haven't seen you drinking lately. So our Lord actually does serious business. I thought you only hung out in bars all day."
Venti rubbed his nose with his index finger and said, "Give me some face. I'm the God of Anemo, after all. This matter isn't important. What's important is that new shop. I think you'll definitely like it. I heard you can even draw weapons from other worlds from that gacha machine. I think you might be quite interested too."
Diluc's eyebrows twitched. Although he had many weapons, like Wolf's Gravestone, Skyward Blade, and Training Sword, who wouldn't want another weapon?
"Be specific."
Venti best told him everything he knew, which piqued the other's curiosity. It was still noon, and the tavern wasn't crowded. If he left temporarily, it should be fine. Even if it wasn't, there was the bartender.
So, the two of them headed outside the city. Kaeya peeked his head out from outside the tavern and glanced in the direction they left. The two of them went outside the city? Could there be some unspeakable secret? He was a bit curious, should he follow them? But if Diluc caught him, he'd be finished.
Forget it, he'd have his informants investigate. He went to the Knights of Favonius to get busy. No, relax~
The two quickly returned to the Honkai Impact 3rd experience store. Looking at the technology far beyond the current era, a hint of light flashed in Diluc's eyes. If this technology were introduced, wouldn't they be ten thousand years ahead of everyone else?
It didn't seem unreasonable. After all, Honkai Impact 3rd's technology was very advanced, and its civilization was quite high. Although it couldn't compare to the previous century, it could definitely beat Teyvat.
"Boss, I'm back again. Look, I even brought someone over. Can you add an hour to my account?"
Venti suddenly noticed Lilia lying on the side. When did this person appear? And with such a strange tail? This... was too strange!
Venti didn't realize that Lilia was actually a character from Honkai Impact 3rd. This was normal, as the character development hadn't reached that point yet. Lilia wasn't among the twelve characters released in the official 1.0 version.
The latter didn't care about that much. Hearing that she could play for another hour, she immediately sat down and skillfully entered the virtual world.
Diluc looked at these advanced gadgets with great curiosity and said, "Well, I heard from Venti that everyone gets one free hour of use, right? So, can I... now?"
"That's right, everyone gets one free hour. There's another spot over there, you can go there. You just need to register an account following the beginner's tutorial."
Lu Ze didn't even look up, his fingers flying across the keyboard as if he were working overtime.
Seeing this, Diluc felt embarrassed to disturb them further. He looked at the other two, and following their example, lay down on the recliner and put on the helmet.
His spirit successfully reached another world, beginning his Honkai journey.
"Ding-dong, detecting a new customer registering an account, rewarding the host with the Key of Reason - Black Abyss White Flower!"
Lu Ze, who had just zoned out, snapped back to attention. What was going on? He was directly given a Key of Reason. When did the system become so generous? He strongly suspected it.
He opened the panel for the Black Abyss White Flower and felt that everything was normal, the description was normal. He could even take it out from the system space and use it normally. This...
Had the system changed its ways? Was this darn system no longer trying to trick him???
Good heavens, he was not used to it not tricking him.
Lu Ze fiddled with the Black Abyss White Flower. This Key of Reason was quite good, at least it was very powerful. About twenty minutes later, after the novelty wore off, he went back to working on the PV.
I want to make the entire Teyvat shed tears for me, bah! I want to make the entire Teyvat shed tears for Venti!
"Wait, voice acting is a problem. Who should I find for voice acting? Forget it, I'll use synthesized voices. Even if I have to sacrifice my own health, I'll make the entire Teyvat shed tears for me!"
Time ticked by. A person walked past outside the store. He looked at the store strangely. When did it appear? He had to report back quickly. Kaeya would probably give him a lot of money, and he could live a leisurely life for a while longer.
An hour passed quickly, and Venti finally obtained the new weapon, Dan Sakura. This weapon, in its original world setting, required the number of reservations to reach a certain limit to be given. However, the system had changed it. Now, all you had to do was grind for it, clear dungeons, synthesize fragments, and you could get it. This event even gave you 1000 crystals, which was very cost-effective.
It just took at least an hour or more to get it because the drop rate was truly disheartening. It was so disheartening that Venti wanted to punch someone. The drop rate had a 3% chance of dropping the entire weapon, but he only got fragments. Do you know how much stamina he used?
He stood up, looking tired, and felt a bit mentally drained. This was strange. He had been lying on the recliner the whole time, so how could he feel tired?
"This is very normal. Your body didn't move, but your spirit was engaged in high-intensity activity. Feeling tired is naturally normal. You'll be fine after a rest."
As if understanding, the God of Anemo nodded. His gains today were substantial, and he even got 50 gift coins. Although it wasn't enough for a single draw, at least he had something.
Diluc also got up. He shook his head, feeling a bit dizzy, like when you squat in the bathroom for too long and feel faint when you stand up.
