Chapter 21: A New Fork in the Road
"Congratulations! You take this first, and collect more of these things when you have time. ”
Su Mu took out the long-cherished fragment of Burning Wish Agate and handed it to Bennett, this was a good thing he got from a ruin, he originally planned to collect it and give it to Bennett, but now it seems that Bennett is progressing faster than he imagined.
"No, no, no! I lost all the agate crumbs, windmill chrysanthemums, and treasure hunt crow prints you gave me last time, and I'm afraid I'll lose this thing again......"
Bennett touched his head and said with a prevaricating face.
"Lost?"
Su Mu was a little surprised, he had given Bennett a set of materials to break through to level 20 a long time ago, and sewed it on his clothes in a small bag, specifically instructing Bennett not to lose it.
And now that Bennett has broken through the shackles, these materials have been lost again, which inevitably reminds him of something......
"Well, I'm pretty sure there is no one else in that ruin, I broke through after I fainted, woke up and checked my body, except for the materials you gave Brother Su Mu, nothing else was lost."
Bennett talked about his experience in detail and asked Su Mu to analyze it, which he was used to, because Su Mu could always think of things he couldn't think of.
And here is deep in thought, Su Mu has actually been worrying about one thing: is the breakthrough in the game reliable?
Using the golden finger of the system, Sumu can simply use all the elements, but the premise of use must be that it must be in contact with the corresponding element.
But his use of elements is a little different from that of the Traveler, and it can be inferred from the plot that the Traveler originally had the attribute of light, but he was sealed after the battle with Tianli, and his own power was revived through the power of the leylines and the Seven Heavens God Statue, and the most insidious expression was his clothes.
At the beginning of the decisive battle with Tenri, the dots of light on his clothes were white;
At the beginning of the plot, the conversation with Paimon is gray;
When the Statue of the Seven Heavens of Mondstadt is activated, it is the color of the Wind attribute;
When the Liyue Seven Heavens Idol is activated, it turns into a rock attribute color when it transforms into a rock attribute.
The same goes for the Thunder attribute.
Therefore, travelers can use various materials to make self-resuscitation breakthroughs, and to put it bluntly, they still borrow the resonance of the power of the leylines and their own strength.
The origin of Sumu's system is unknown, and although it can resonate with Teyvat's attributes, it is much weaker.
This is also the reason why he doesn't have any elemental combat skills so far, and only relies on the accumulation of attributes in the system to improve his strength.
To put it bluntly, from the current point of view, he is just an ordinary person who can simply borrow the system and use the power of the elements.
In this way, over time, he will become more and more dependent on the system, and slowly become a puppet of the system, without the particularity of being the protagonist.
After all, he also read a lot of novels of this type in his previous life.
Therefore, when Su Mu borrowed the system to improve his strength, he also kept looking for a way to break through, hoping that his ontological strength could also make great progress.
In this way, he does not have to be affected by any external factors, otherwise he will hang up directly when he falls into a secret realm that can shield the power of the system in the future?
Before, Su Mu still had a little thought in his mind, and while accumulating strength, he was also waiting for the arrival of Traveler and Paimon in the must-pass place of Starfall Lake.
If there were no travelers in this world, would Paimon choose himself?
However, Doris's mission led him to meet Barbatos, the god of the winds, and learned the answer from the other party, and put an end to this thought.
Maybe the system asked him to choose the mission of Doris so that he could meet Barbatos in person and let the other party cut off his thoughts in person?
Plan 1 failed, and Su Mu, who had no point in staying in Starfall Lake, planned to pack up his things and leave, but met Bennett who came to him.
Bennett is also part of Sumu's plan, but it's not very high-priority.
The reason is very simple, the other party is a plot character, and it is natural to have a bond with the traveler in the future.
It's just that in the process of adventuring with Bennett, he also established a deep friendship with the other party, so Su Mu has been helping Bennett improve his strength, lest Bennett be cut off by the plot in this world.
And through Bennett's strength improvement, he can also analyze the difference between this world and the Genshin Impact world, so as to seek his own breakthrough.
In miHoYo (Genshin Impact Game World), travelers can choose partners through Paimon's anti-heaven ability, and although I don't know what travelers in this world will do, the characters should all be unique.
Su Mu also thought about abducting Bennett to be one of his teammates, but Bennett couldn't let go of the old adventurers who had raised him, and would only operate in the Mondstadt area, which also made Su Mu's thoughts go away, and he could only say that the power of the plot was not something he could turn around personally.
When he is collecting materials from place to place, he will take care to help Bennett collect them. After all, Bennett's breakthrough materials are very easy to obtain, and Bennett's breakthrough success also has a good reference value for him.
"Tell me which of the three directions do you think are most likely to appear in the leyline flower?"
After packing up his things, Su Mu looked at Bennett and asked.
Mondstadt, which was transformed by Barbatos, was not so hot at noon, and the breeze was reassuring.
"emmm, I feel it! The Wangfeng Mountains in the north, the star-picking cliffs in the west and the fruit wine lake in the east will all have a probability! ”
Bennett pinched his chin with his small hand and thought about it, his eyes lit up excitedly, and he said confidently.
"Okay, let's go."
"Okay! Benny's Adventure Group Departs! ”
Bennett raised his fist and shouted a slogan of shame.
"Sure enough, it's a pair with Fischl~!"
Su Mu walked a few steps, pretending not to know Bennett, he really couldn't afford to lose this old face.
"Huh~ Brother Su Mu is waiting for me!"
Seeing Su Mu walking farther and farther away, Bennett directly opened the Mondstadt wings and chased after him.
As he walked forward, Su Mu continued to think about the questions he hadn't just finished thinking about while observing his surroundings with his elemental vision.
Judging from the options given by the system recently, it seems that he has begun to relax a little, allowing him to access things that he couldn't touch before, and deliberately guiding him to do something.
However, the information he has obtained so far is too fragmented to sort out any useful information, but it has also made him aware of some changes in the situation.
Talking to Wendy was actually a conscious test of the system, and the good news was that the test was successful.
You must know that the previous system will prevent him from exposing any information in all directions, and it is completely focused on keeping him alive, and even the improvement of his strength is extremely limited.
And now, with the accumulation of attribute points in the past few years, the range of activities that Su Mu can move is getting bigger and bigger, and now he can even accept some commissions from the Knights of Favonius to talk to some people who have been friends with the gods.
It may be the reason why the main line of the world has not been opened, and I am afraid that Su Mu will make some kind of moths.
It could be something else......
