Chapter 168 Time Messenger
Based on the painful lessons learned from my first visit to the continent of Teyvat, if I choose the simulator option for the second time, I will most likely go in a strange direction.
Just like Ming Chong got the identity of a treasure-stealing group from the beginning, from then on, things got out of control.
Either it's galgameized, or an option grows out of a meme.
An object that resembles its owner can actually be used in such a place?
But Ming Chong said that this was not a problem! Compared to the conspiracy that Buyer, Amona, Buegolia and the others had set up, leaving Simulated Chong completely confused and without any gaming experience, this was a small matter!
despite this--
"I don't want Xumi Fengdan, I don't want Xumi Fengdan, I don't want Xumi Fengdan..." Ming Chong muttered with his eyes closed.
The moment I opened my eyes, I clicked on the simulator.
Hehe, Love and Teyvat, start!
"You chose C.
You are good at fighting, but you are not passionate about it.
In Nata, those who excel in combat are rare. And you are just a child who accidentally drifted here, unable to utilize Nata's unique [phlogiston].
Perhaps because you have a very trustworthy guide and guardian, you are able to successfully stay in the Hanging Wood People tribe.
Nata is a country where humans and dragons live together. I heard that there are no dragons in other countries!
Although it is very dangerous here, you cannot use the unique power here, and your fighting talent does not seem so outstanding... but there are dragons here!
The [Sons of Echo] tribe has a [Crest Dragon] that can burrow underground;
The [Hanging Woodman] tribe has [Leaf-Hiding Dragons] that can swing back and forth;
The [Flowing Springs] tribe has the [Fin-Swimmer] who excels in water...
Not to mention that there are also the spitting [Cotton Beast] and the extremely emotionally stable [Pig Beast]!
Hehe, just thinking about this, your mind becomes full of the bgm "Capybara, Capybara~".
After being picked up by your guardian, the leader of the Hanging Wood People, you have no memory of your past, but the fact that you can continue to stay here is the result of your best efforts.
You weren't sure if it was amnesia or not, but it just wasn't there. Something that wasn't there simply wasn't there, and it wouldn't appear out of thin air no matter how hard you tried.
During the time you were staying at the Hanging Wood for treatment, you had already made up your mind to stay. As for how you lost your memory before that, I don't know if it was intentional or accidental.
After all, based on your current understanding of the Natalosaurus species, the Anopheles is the category that best suits your aesthetic taste.
Maybe... it was intentional and careless?
——This issue cannot be explored in depth.
Fortunately, I finally stayed. The other people in the Hanging Wood seemed to disagree, and often the adults would touch my head and sigh.
Or maybe you're glad you're Nata after the disaster; or you're sorry you can't use your phlogiston identity; or maybe you enjoy positive emotions like encouragement...
You don’t know the deeper reasons behind these emotions, you only know one thing -
You can borrow the usage share of [phlogiston] from the Nata people by "borrowing".
The principle is similar to the effect of the [Eye of God] on humans' external magic organs. Assuming that you do not have the necessary parts of your body to store phlogiston, you can use a third unknown force to "borrow" phlogiston and imprison it.
It’s just that there’s another difference between the elements to you and the elemental force to humans. Phlogiston becomes less as you use it, and you need to “borrow” from others again, but elemental force is not like that.
The above words are very euphemistic, but in fact, you don't need to tell others to borrow the usage share of phlogiston.
However, this was in Nata. The disaster was over, but the war between the Nata people and the abyss had just begun.
Since the share of phlogiston you borrowed is borrowed together with the part where other people store phlogiston, the phlogiston that others can use will not be automatically restored after borrowing.
Only when you have finished using it up will your share of the phlogiston leave along with the consumed phlogiston and return to its original owner.
For Nata's warriors, a small amount of phlogiston would make them less accustomed to it and reduce their control over the rhythm of battle. In the war against the abyss, this risk is enough to be fatal.
Therefore, you have no choice but to follow your guardian's instructions and, while serving as a "Messenger," borrow some "Phlogiston" from the wounded who are temporarily unable to fight as a supply."
"The only problem with this suggestion is that if the battle line is tense and you urgently need to update the battle report, you don't need to restore the phlogiston reserves at all. The huge amount of phlogiston you borrowed is enough to support the long-distance attack.
But now, Nata and the Abyss are in a stalemate. The Abyss will only launch a sudden attack when a tribe relaxes its defenses.
You have lost your place.
——My mood has dropped.
So, in this relatively peaceful environment, how do you live in the Hanging Wood People tribe?
You are quite fond of the hooking technique used by the Hanged Man, so in order to obtain phlogiston, you do not stick to any commission, and the reward is phlogiston and a few necessities of life.
Of course, most of the clients are elderly or children.
The leader has persuaded you to make a dragon companion, so that your need for phlogiston will not be so great.
You tell him, "But I'm learning the dragon language. Once I learn to communicate with [Leaf-Dwelling Dragon], what's one dragon companion going to matter? By then, I'll have dragon companions everywhere! Even if I run out of phlogiston, it won't matter!"
"...I see. Is this why you got stuck on the head of the Long-necked Rhino last time?"
Ah, I’ve been fooled!
You never imagined that the leader would actually use a diversionary tactic against you! How insidious! Damn you, sir!
"Oh, Chong, I know you are very popular with animals, but if [Yini] hadn't discovered you last time, how long would you have to wait before you happened to encounter a Leaf Dragon flying by?" The leader shook his head and sighed.
"Well……"
"Not only does the direction have to be set, but the height must also be appropriate. Otherwise, they won't be able to detect your presence, nor hear your calls."
“Eh—”
"It's only been a short time since the disaster, and there's a shortage of manpower everywhere. What did you say in Dragon Language to get thrown onto the head of the Long-necked Rhino by the Leaf-Dwelling Dragon? Have you figured out the reason now?"
“Hmm…”
After being nagged by the leader for a long time, it only took a short time for you to go from feeling guilty to panicking and then to having no desire to live.
This time the chief didn't give you a chance to quibble. He said something like, "The most powerful [ancient name] of the Hanging Wood Man, [(Tempered) Ma Libu] gave you an inspiration - "Heroes never look back at the Big Bang."
He knows that you are a very capable child, not only good at fighting, but also able to live a prosperous life in Nata as an outsider.
But that doesn't change the fact that you're quite a nuisance.
In the end, the leader, as usual, had no choice but to let you go, but ordered you to express your sincere gratitude to [Ini].
The above is a summary of how you became friends with Ini.
But this is not important. What is important is that you heard Ini say that her sister was the previous God of Fire. In order to complete the plan to fight against the abyss formulated by this generation of heroes, she went to Nata 500 years later.
This is the first time you've heard that someone can travel to the distant future.
So, you say excitedly, "That sounds interesting. I want to go to the future too!"
"Eh? Impas, don't be impulsive! It will be bad if you get stuck again!" Inni quickly held you down.
You couldn't stand hearing this, so you frowned and pointed a finger, "Yini, I really need to talk to you about this!"
Yini slowly typed a question mark.

"I'm going to get down to business! What do we Hangwood people usually do? Messengers, messengers!" You raise your head, chin held high. "Don't you think being a messenger who [transcends time and space to accomplish a mission] is super-cool?!!!"

"The dream you described attracted Ini, and she joined your cause without hesitation.
First of all, you can borrow the power of other people's phlogiston. Your non-Natalian identity only limits you from obtaining the [Ancient Name], but in terms of phlogiston, this is a unique quality that you cannot replace.
The second is some theoretical research.
——This is the part that Ini is responsible for.
Sufficient accumulation of phlogiston can support long-distance movement in space, and sufficient [Flames of Competition] generated during the [Holy Night Tour of Returning Fire] can not only expel the power of the abyss, but also enable the owners of [Ancient Names] who died in the [Night Watchers' War] in the same abyss to be resurrected according to the rules of the [Resurrection Poem].
The above are rules that only apply to Nata. From this, we can conclude that phlogiston is also a special power.
So, if we continue to store phlogiston, maybe it will really be possible to reach the level of transcending time and space?
"But, if that's the case, we'll need a set of rules similar to the [Resurrection Poem]..." Inni was troubled by your simple plan.
She simply couldn't believe what kind of confidence you had to invite her to join when you didn't even have a makeshift team.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. I don't even have a meter of phlogiston left!" You didn't listen to Yini at all and shook her shoulders. "Yini! Think of a way quickly. Where can we find so much phlogiston?!"
You have to use phlogiston to move around, and you have to save some of it for the future, but no matter how you think about it, it's not enough.
Finally, Yini came up with a solution.
You signed a contract with Ini, and she shared her share of phlogiston with you. When using phlogiston, you can clearly feel that part of it is the power from Ini, and the other part is borrowed by you.
"I found this in Nata's history. It was originally a contract between humans and dragons... I think it was used to borrow power. If I were the dragon, the power I could borrow would probably be phlogiston."
Thanks to the "power of my thinking", the contract between you and Ini was signed quite smoothly. It is a great start for your great cause.
You recited with deep emotion, quite ceremoniously:
"I, Impas, am willing to sign a Ye Luoli contract with Yini!"
Then you looked at Ini expectantly.
She avoided your gaze.
You unilaterally broke up with her for five minutes.
After signing the contract, the used phlogiston can be restored, but it can only be restored by Ini alone.
However, the half-fuel lacked endurance while swinging in the air, and it was impossible for one person to land safely.
So, ever since the two of you signed the contract, your career as a messenger has become..."
