Isn’t It Much Better Than Elemental Power?
[All romance targets in this book are adults.
In the future, every romance target has also had their parameters altered by the protagonist using Over Heaven, so unusually fast affection gain, love-brained behavior, and similar phenomena are completely normal.] [The first ten chapters contain quite a bit of Stand combat and affectionate moments with Hu Tao, so the pacing may feel a little slow at first.
After the Liyue main storyline is cleared, things will start getting more creative.] [This book will do its best to make up for regrets.
Raiden Makoto, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and Focalors will all be revived and become romance routes.
Let’s see where the author’s imagination goes.] [Please leave your brain here.] … … “Day 1,145 without seeing the Traveler.
I miss them.” At the southwestern corner of Guyun Stone Forest, an adventurer was sneaking around in a hidden spot, furtively observing his surroundings.
Chen Mo was not originally a native of Teyvat.
He was an ordinary university student who had transmigrated from Blue Star.
All because he had pulled an all-nighter taking boosting orders and grinding scores in “Lunar Oracle Mode.” In the end, after failing a jailbreak attempt, everything went black, and he died suddenly in his dorm room.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in Liyue Harbor.
As if turning into a two-month-old baby was not bad enough, he had also become a damn orphan.
During the twenty years he had grown up relying on the kindness of many households, childhood friends like Hu Tao and Xiangling had gradually obtained their Visions.
Keqing had even become one of the Liyue Qixing!
And Chen Mo?
Aside from Mora, he had absolutely nothing.
Wasn’t he basically just some random nobody by the roadside?
Who knew?
If Liyue Harbor faced some major disaster in the future, he might become nothing more than a dead man briefly mentioned in a line of plot dialogue: “Brother Chen.” In order to defy fate, Chen Mo trained himself like a madman every single day.
He did not expect his combat power to reach the level of someone like Vennessa, but at the very least, he needed to be able to handle most monsters in the wild.
After all, camping out at Guyun Stone Forest had already become the most important part of his daily routine.
According to his memories from his previous life, the Traveler had fished up Paimon somewhere around this area, and two months later, the Mondstadt main storyline would begin.
If he could latch onto the blond Traveler’s storyline and travel with them, why would he still have to worry about being stuck with the label of “background character”?
And so, the days passed one after another, year after year.
“That’s enough waiting for today.” Chen Mo sighed, picked up his weapon, and prepared to return to Liyue Harbor.
The salty sea breeze blew against his face, carrying the heat of midsummer.
Starconches half-buried in the sand glittered under the sunlight.
He walked openly and confidently.
The Hilichurl camps along the way had already been completely cleared out when he arrived… At least, that was how things should have been.
“A Samachurl?” Chen Mo first thought it was a lone straggler, but when he looked more closely, he frowned.
“Why the hell is this thing pouring out black smoke?” A deep roar sounded beside his ear.
He instinctively hid behind a rock.
Even without sticking his head out to look, Chen Mo could see the enormous shadow cast across the ground.
That shadow did not belong to a Hilichurl Mitachurl.
It belonged to something even larger: a Hilichurl Lawachurl!
Chen Mo’s pupils briefly lost focus, then rapidly contracted.
With his current skills, he could rely on archery and movement to ambush and kill a Mitachurl.
He could also use alchemical tools, together with the terrain advantage of the beach, to deal with a Pyro Abyss Mage.
But against a Stonehide Lawachurl, he had no way to fight back.
He could not even break through its defense!
“Roar!” “Shit!
It found me!” The massive body leapt into the air.
In an instant, Chen Mo felt as if the entire world had gone dark.
Seeing the shadow on the ground rapidly shrink, he threw himself outside its range and rolled away.
“I don’t remember seeing a Ley Line Blossom when I came here!” Chen Mo gritted his teeth and struggled to stand.
Only when he saw that the Stonehide Lawachurl was also surrounded by black smoke did he realize that these Hilichurls were being affected by the remnants of a dead god.
This situation had already exceeded what an ordinary person like him could handle.
Even someone with a Vision might not necessarily be able to withstand the erosion of a dead god’s residue.
“Do I have no choice but to call for a yaksha’s help…” This was Liyue, home to the most reliable security force in all of Teyvat.
As long as Chen Mo called out the title “Conqueror of Demons,” Xiao, who resided at Wangshu Inn, would surely sense it.
But… Would that really be all right?
Chen Mo knew the plot well, so he naturally knew that Xiao had been tormented by the remnants of dead gods for thousands of years.
Besides, Chen Mo was deeply unwilling.
In his previous life, he had lived an utterly ordinary existence, only to die in such a pathetic and suffocating way.
Now that he had transmigrated into another world, was he supposed to keep living as a plain, useless salted fish?
If he acted like a coward because of a Stonehide Lawachurl this time, then what about next time?
The Abyss?
Or Osial?
“I remember there being a Fatui Electro Cicin Mage somewhere nearby…” Chen Mo tightened his grip on Prototype Crescent and decided to shift the disaster elsewhere.
“That place!
As long as I can reach that place, there’ll definitely be a chance!” Chen Mo spun around and sprinted back along the path.
However, he had overlooked the first Samachurl he had discovered.
The Hilichurl shaman danced and chanted, summoning three thorny vines that blocked Chen Mo’s path.
At the same time, the Stonehide Lawachurl behind him coordinated its attack, charging straight toward Chen Mo in a direct line!
In such a crisis, there was nowhere to dodge!
Five meters… Four meters… For one fleeting instant, the world fell into deathlike silence.
Chen Mo’s thoughts stretched out tens of millions of times over.
In his mind, a deep battle cry rang out, both familiar and unfamiliar.
He felt his entire body become wrapped in a warm, golden energy.
Something inside him seemed to be on the verge of bursting out.
Within his field of vision, the silhouette of a muscular purple man appeared faintly.
Chen Mo could not help mocking himself.
Even in the final moments before death, his life flashing before his eyes had somehow glitched into a bug!
But the instant he saw that figure clearly, the speed of his thoughts immediately returned to normal.
Before Chen Mo could even process what was happening, he heard a deafening cry.
“Ora!” The Stonehide Lawachurl, which had been charging forward like a wild boar, was forcibly interrupted and knocked back!
The stone armor on its arm also cracked with spiderweb-like fractures!
“That voice!
That power!
It’s actually Star Platinum!” Star Platinum turned back and glanced calmly at Chen Mo, then flashed to his side.
[Detected a transmigrator bearing the golden spirit.
Now binding the host to the Succubus Stand System!] System?
Stand?
And it was even the strongest Stand, Star Platinum?
“Ha… haha!” Twenty years!
A full twenty years!
His golden finger had finally arrived!
“With Star Platinum, how can this situation still count as a crisis?” The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth lifted in relief.
“System, this beginner gift package of yours is seriously powerful!” [Star Platinum: The World is the Stand the host awakened independently during the system-binding process.
It was not given by me for free~] Star Platinum: The World?
In other words, it could also stop time!
Chen Mo turned his gaze toward the Dendro Samachurl not far away.
He did not know how long he could stop time for right now.
And since he had always preferred playing it safe, he would absolutely not recklessly attack the Stonehide Lawachurl before fully understanding his own abilities.
Compared to that big guy, the Samachurl in front of him was far more suitable as a test subject!
Chen Mo tensed the muscles in his legs and rapidly closed in on the Samachurl.
The distance between them soon shrank to less than two meters.
This was precisely within Star Platinum’s effective range!
“Star Platinum!
The World!”
