Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 222 The remaining warmth

The next day, in Sumeru City, at the Adventurers' Guild.

The morning sunlight shone on the counter, making the Adventurers' Guild emblem on the wooden cabin shine brightly.

Miss Catherine, the receptionist, sat gracefully behind the counter, maintaining a polite smile despite the empty room.

It's as if no matter when you get close to her, you'll always hear a familiar greeting, directed towards the stars and the abyss.

However, the next moment, a stream of data flashed in Catherine's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

She stood up, stretched, and her slightly stiff expression suddenly became more lively.

Residents of Sumeru City know that Miss Catherine always wanders aimlessly around the city every now and then.

But whenever an assignment was given, she would promptly appear at her post in the Adventurers' Guild. Over time, everyone became familiar with this somewhat elusive Miss Catherine, and would exchange a few words of greeting when they bumped into her.

However, whenever she was idle, the one controlling Catherine's body was no longer the intelligent mechanism of Winter, but the god of Sumeru, the Little Auspicious Grass King, Nasita.

Of course, today's "Miss Catherine" is no exception.

Although Narcida no longer needed to travel through Sumeru through Catherine's body, this was not only due to long-standing habit, but also contained a little bit of divine ulterior motive.

If one were to walk the earth as a deity, although one could personally experience all aspects of life, there would always be many inconveniences.

For example... when she arrives, everyone suddenly becomes very reserved. If you become the one who spoils the fun, you've gone against her original intention.

Therefore, it's safer to have another identity. I heard that the two predecessors, the Wind God and the Rock God, did the same.

Sure enough, she still has a lot to learn.

However, today's "usurpation" operation seems to have encountered some obstacles, perhaps Catherine's procedures have been strengthened.

Narcida manipulated Catherine's body as they strolled through the empty streets of Sumeru City, her head bowed in deep thought.

The morning air was fresh, carrying the scent of damp earth and a gentle breeze, but she had no time to pay attention to it today.

The "Doctor" seems to be right; there is absolutely no trace of "divinity" in Hazard.

This means that he never reached the realm of a demon god, although he himself insists that he did.

So, what exactly was that divine war that I clearly remember taking place?

Even the god of wisdom would be troubled when he encountered blind spots in his knowledge, for example, by eating three baskets of date and honey in a row.

But even the sweet date and honey couldn't speed up Nasita's thoughts. After pondering all night, she still came up empty-handed.

In addition, she also noticed something else.

The Tree King seems to have some unspeakable secret, especially regarding the World Tree and forbidden knowledge.

Since this senior deity returned, although she's been a bit... irresponsible, whenever I encounter a problem, Sister Tree King always patiently provides some guidance.

Apart from... discussing the World Tree issue.

Whenever he joked around or made excuses, even without her mind-reading abilities, she could sense that this senior seemed to be lying, and doing so without any attempt to hide it.

But... why? As a branch of the World Tree, she also has the ability to sense the state of the World Tree.

Currently, everything at the World Tree appears normal, forbidden knowledge has been cleared away, and the ley lines in Teyvat are quite stable.

So, what exactly is the Tree King's sister trying to cover up by being so secretive about the World Tree issue?

Nasita clutched her forehead in pain, reaching out instinctively to grab something, but ultimately grasped nothing.

The little god was slightly taken aback, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes, but he wasn't particularly surprised.

What was she doing just now? If she was looking for companions, she clearly came out alone.

But... why do I feel disappointed... it's like my outstretched hand shouldn't have grasped nothing.

However, this strange feeling did not last long. Soon, the noise from afar interrupted her thoughts.

"Welcome to 'A Moment of Dream Tasting'! This is our second... third... uh, let's compromise and welcome to our second and a half Dream Tasting Event!"

"I'm your host, Pete. Here, you can speak freely about any dream, no matter how fantastical!"

A Dream Appreciation Conference? What a novel term.

Perfect timing! It's been a long time since I visited everyone's dreams, so let's take this opportunity to relax and clear our minds.

It's like taking a quick and easy trip to the toilet.

Thinking this, Nasita quietly approached the crowd that was gathering together, where a tall, strong man was speaking.

He had a strong, muscular physique, and with the hammer at his waist, he seemed to be a blacksmith from the city's weapons shop.

"I'll go first. Yesterday I dreamt that I turned into a grass slime in a mushroom cave."

"I have to say, that sticky, round feeling is really a novel experience, hey! Everyone who has tried it... well, never mind."

The man's words elicited a chuckle. He rubbed his head sheepishly and continued talking about the topic.

"However, I might be even happier if I turned into a tuan jutsu or something."

"After all, that way I can get away from the monotonous blacksmithing day after day."

"Novelty is a luxury."

This time there was no laughter. It can only be said that some people were watching the show, while others were looking in the mirror. Some people are born in Rome, while others are born to be beasts of burden.

That's well said. Don't say it again next time. I have a friend who's like that, and he finds it hard to accept.

Seeing that the atmosphere around him was suddenly filled with resentment, Pete wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tried to smooth things over.

If he remembered correctly, this was "A Moment of Dreams," not "The Moment of Breakdown for Working People."

I am the Evil Sword Immortal, and I just achieved second place in the Resentment Ranking Competition. Why don't you give it a try?

"Hahaha... Um, Brother Ata's sharing is over. Does anyone have any suggestions?"

"For example, a way to make Brother Ata fly... I mean, a way to make him turn into a magpie in his dreams?"

Silence fell over the crowd, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone is having their first dream, so why should we give way... uh, no, we all have no experience.

"If you want to find something new, why not start with the little things in life?"

"For example... replacing the hammer?"

A gentle voice came from behind the crowd, and both Pete and Ata showed surprise.

"Miss Catherine? What brings you here?"
