Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 37

Ningguang's lips twitched slightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress a laugh: "Do you need me to prepare a boat?"

"No need. With the Wolf King there, getting there will be a piece of cake for us."

Zhang Chu was full of confidence.

"Alright then, farewell, everyone."

Ningguang nodded gracefully, but when she turned around, Qingyu clearly saw her shoulders trembling slightly—she was definitely trying not to laugh!

"I have a feeling she's plotting something..."

"It doesn't matter, we're invincible anyway."

Gu Qian patted his chest.

Wolf King restarted the thrusters, and the machine slowly rose into the air.

"Route setting - Inazuma Island. Estimated travel time: 15 minutes."

"Wait, 15 minutes?!"

"Isn't it a journey that takes several days to get from Liyue to Inazuma?!"

"Because we flew there."

Ying calmly fastened her seatbelt.

"boom--!"

The wolf king transformed into a streak of light, piercing the sky and hurtling straight towards Inazuma.

"Warning: Thunderstorm detected, suspected Thunder General power."

The Wolf King's electronic voice rang out.

"General Thunder's 'Eternal' Barrier?"

"Mere lightning? I'll break it!"

Er Kang's delusional disorder flares up, and he raises his sickle high.

"Water elemental power, unleash—!"

"Don't mess around!"

Zhang Chu smacked him on the head with a hammer.

"Recommended solution: Overclocking breakthrough."

The Wolf King calmly analyzed the situation.

"The armor of this aircraft can withstand the impact of thunderstorms, but it is recommended that personnel with external attachments enter the cockpit."

"Tell me earlier!"

Qingyu quickly climbed towards the hatch.

However, before they could all squeeze in, the wolf king had already plunged into the thunderstorm zone.

"Boom——!"

Purple lightning struck the mecha, sending sparks flying.

"Ahhhh——!"

The four were electrocuted, their hair standing on end and smoke billowing from their bodies.

Paimon huddled in Ying's arms, trembling: "I knew this would happen..."

The Wolf King calmly continued flying: "Lightning resistance test complete, damage rate: 0.3%."

"You call this 'low damage rate'?!"

"The standard definition of this machine is: scratches below 5% are considered 'minor abrasions'."

Everyone: "..."

Finally, the wolf king broke through the thunderclouds, and the port of Inazuma, the island, was in sight.

"Stealth mode activated, energy consumption stable."

The Wolf King's mechanical voice rang out in the communication channel, the volume extremely low.

Ying sat in the cockpit, looking down at the heavily guarded island port through the holographic screen—the banners of the Shogunate army fluttered in the wind, samurai patrolled back and forth with long spears, and in the distance, several ships of the Fool Clan were docked at the pier, with masked soldiers carrying suspicious cargo.

"Zhang Chu, what's wrong?"

Ying frowned and asked.

Zhang Chu's voice came through the communicator on Ying's ear, unusually serious: "Because of the isolationist policy, Inazuma is extremely cut off from outside information. They don't know we exist, and..."

"Inazuma is very corrupt right now, and the Fool Clan is also causing trouble here. There are probably their people in the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate. It's better to be cautious."

Ying paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

The wolf king slowly descended, eventually hovering above a secluded alley.

The hatch slid open silently, and Ying picked up Paimon, leaping lightly down onto the damp stone path.

We can't help you directly this time.

Zhang Chu's voice came from the invisible Wolf King, his tone unusually apologetic.

“Avoiding conflict with other countries is our guiding principle, but the Inazuma issue… is too complicated.”

Paimon floated in the air, rubbing his hands nervously: "So, are you leaving?"

Qingyu's voice broke in, tinged with a sly smile.

"We'll be watching from the shadows."

"for example--"

Er Kang suddenly lowered his voice, mimicking the tone of some schemer.

"When a blond traveler was being chased all over the streets by the Shogunate army, a brick 'just happened' to knock out one of the pursuers..."

"Or perhaps a warehouse belonging to the Fatui people caught fire 'accidentally'."

Or perhaps—

Gu Qian chuckled twice, but before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chu struck him with a hammer, making him grunt.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any ideas."

"In short, Ying, go for it! Even if you offend Thor, we'll still hammer him to death!"

Ying's lips curled up slightly: "...Thank you."

"Good luck."

Zhang Chu finished speaking, then the communication channel was shut down, and the Wolf King's thrusters emitted a very faint hum before disappearing completely into the sky.

Chapter 38 Kamisato Ayaka

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, walked out of the alley, and joined the flow of people at the port.

Paimon lowered his voice: "I feel like they're acting strange this time...why are they being so cautious?"

Ying nodded slightly: "Inazuma's situation is more complicated than we imagined."

In the distance, a shogunate samurai was roughly shoving a merchant, while several other samurai stood by and sneered.

A suffocating atmosphere permeated the port, and even the sea breeze carried a rusty, fishy smell.

Paimon shrank back: "What do we do next?"

Ying's gaze swept across the street and finally landed on a wooden crate at the dock—where a young man sat, leisurely chewing on a blade of grass.

"First, find the local bigwigs."

She said softly, "For example... that Mr. 'Thoma'."

------

The Wolf King's electronic eyes flashed with a scarlet light, and the holographic scanning system projected a three-dimensional image of the entire island into the cockpit.

Suddenly, a red dot began flashing continuously in the high-energy reaction area.

"A suspicious person has been discovered, suspected to be a slice of the Second Seat Doctor, an executive officer of the Fools."

The wolf king's mechanical voice carried a chilling killing intent.

The holographic screen in the cockpit immediately locked onto a figure dressed in a Fool's uniform—the face wearing a bird-beak mask was one of the Doctor's many slices.

The four spoke in unison, their voices displaying an unprecedented unity and resolve.

No matter what, that beast, the Doctor, must die!

The wolf king's left shoulder armor plate slid open, and the ancient final destination system unfolded amidst the whirring of mechanical transmission.

The golden arrow hummed as it charged, and the Liyue runes engraved on its shaft lit up one by one.

"Target locked, wind element activated, penetration mode activated."

"Whoosh-!"

A golden light streaked across the sky.

Just as the doctor in the distance raised his head, an arrow pierced through his brow.

Golden energy erupted instantly, blasting the entire slice into countless points of light, leaving not even ashes behind.

"Okay, let's go find the Evil Eye factory and destroy that thing."

Qingyu made the decision.

Wolf King's thrusters spewed out a ghostly blue tail flame as the machine sped through the clouds.

The scanning system quickly located the Fools' Evil Eye Factory hidden at the foot of the mountain.

"Electromagnetic gun initiation."

With a cold, mechanical sound, the cannon on the Wolf King's back moved to his shoulder, revealing a giant cannon barrel that emitted a blue light.

High concentrations of thorium elements gathered at the muzzle, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.
