It didn't take long for them to regain their ranking, and even surpass it, firmly placing them in the top 100.
If Wendy hadn't insisted on going back to the ship, she probably would have made it into the top 50.
Oh right, this ranking is the overall ranking, which is a list of all the contestants participating in the national event across the entire universe. In addition to the overall ranking, there is also a ranking for the current stage. Wendy is ranked first on that ranking.
Back on the ship, Wendy collapsed onto the bed. Well, after climbing the Tower of Trials, it's only natural to rest, right?
After returning to the ship, Zhongli went straight to the water-boiling area. Hmm, he boiled a pot of water before going to the tower, which is perfect for making tea now. Hmm, what kind of tea should he choose this time?
"Lord Zhongli, how is Fanan's condition?" Xiao asked immediately after returning to the ship. Zhongli calmly took a sip of tea and said, "His condition has improved somewhat, but there is still no sign of him waking up. It's a bit bad." "But there's still a possibility that he'll wake up," Xiao looked at Zhongli hopefully. Zhongli did not give a definite answer, but simply drank his tea calmly.
Xiao didn't get an answer, but he knew that no answer was the best answer. Lord Zhongli must have had a deeper meaning in doing this. Perhaps, Fanan would wake up and return to his side.
Perhaps, in other small worlds of the nation's destiny, we can find other Yakshas, and then go together to see Lord Zhongli and continue to protect Liyue.
The people of Liyue will be overjoyed to learn that the Yakshas who protect them have returned. They will rebuild the temples and rekindle the incense.
Even the Bronze Sparrow Terrace would be comforted to receive this news in the afterlife.
Xiao returned to the bow of the boat and pushed off with the bamboo pole. The sea they were heading to was quite far, perhaps not just a little far.
The once azure sky suddenly turned dark, as if it was about to rain. Wendy thought, but before she could decide what to do next, the rain poured down from the sky.
The dripping sound of raindrops on the wooden planks blurred even the open view before them. Xiao, soaked to the bone, temporarily returned to Wendy's side. Seeing Xiao's drenched appearance, Wendy burst out laughing; it was rare to see the immortal Xiao so disheveled.
Wendy pulled out a towel from somewhere and handed it to Xiao, saying, "Wipe yourself off." "Thanks." Xiao took the towel. Hmm, the towel had a faint scent of windmill daisies. He wondered how much stuff Wendy had stuffed into that little capsule before coming to this nation's destiny.
Anyway, Xiao didn't see Venti for a while before returning to Teyvat from Earth.
“You think Wendy meant well? No! He did it on purpose! He could have used his wind elemental powers to dry Xiao Bao, but he didn’t; he handed him a towel.”
"Oh, oh, oh, the tricks between xql, right? I get it, I get it."
"I was laughing like a maggot in bed, twisting and turning."
"His lips are playing with the sun again; I've lost count of how many times this has happened."
"As expected, this is the sweetest love story. Isn't this much better than those idol idols?"
The live stream was completely overwhelmed by the sweetness of the two, not to mention that after Xiao finished wiping, Wendy took an apple out of the capsule and gave it to Xiao. Under Wendy's expectant gaze, Xiao silently took a bite of the apple.
Oh my god, it's a bombshell! The women's hearts are pounding. They wish they could bring the Civil Affairs Bureau here so they could get married right there.
"There are only a few apples left. Hmm, there's some good wine from Earth, but I can't bear to drink it. Hmm, there's also food, hehe, and water." After taking stock of the contents of the capsule, Wendy took out the food. The food looked delicious, and as soon as she opened the outer film, the aroma instantly filled the entire room.
"It smells so good! Eating delicious food on a rainy day must be the best enjoyment." Although the rain was loud outside, it did not affect Wendy's eating and drinking to her heart's content.
Xiao took a few bites and put down his chopsticks. For him, food was only needed to fill his stomach. He didn't have a strong appetite, and the sour, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors were all pretty much the same to him.
It's sweet, well, not really that great, but it has a dreamlike quality, like going back to the days when everyone was still around.
On a rainy day, the tracers returned to the cabin, and it seemed that everyone had nothing to do.
However, reality always adds some unexpected tricks to your boring life. After a dizzying moment, the four of them found themselves back in the familiar arena. The administrator was still standing there, but this time he was wearing a white smiling mask, and his clothes remained the same.
"After many days, the arena has reopened. After the last selection, those who remain must be the cream of the crop. The rules this time are simple: just avoid the attacks of sea monsters while collecting resources, and then reach the finish line."
Zhongli was deep in thought with his eyes closed when he arrived at the arena. Looking at the ocean so close to him, Zhongli's expression immediately turned grim.
“Lord Zhongli.” Xiao immediately stood up, but Wendy pressed him down. Xiao looked at Wendy in confusion, and Wendy just smiled and said, “Trust him.”
A few seconds later, Zhongli finally made a move. First, he put a shield on himself, and then walked into the sea. The sea beasts inside discovered their new prey and were about to swim over, but the faint aura of the Rock God on the shield scared them away. Zhongli's brows remained furrowed, and he did not swim. He went into the sea and sank directly to the bottom, as stable and unmoving as a rock.
"A sheer cliff rises a thousand feet." A rock ridge forms, and Zhongli skillfully climbs it, collecting supplies. Sea beasts dare not approach, so no one disturbs Zhongli's collection.
The other contestants had a much tougher time in the sea. They not only had to dodge attacks from sea monsters, but also had to collect supplies. When one contestant saw that there were no sea monsters around Zhongli, he became dissatisfied and swam toward Zhongli. Several sea monsters followed behind him!
Zhong Li noticed it, and with just one glance, the contestant felt his blood run cold and his whole body trembled. Even the sea beast behind him wasn't much better off, and it ran far away in an instant.
Zhongli collected supplies on the rocky ridge and slowly made his way towards the finish line.
For Zhongli, the sea is the most uncomfortable place. He doesn't even go near Liyue Harbor. However, this time he stood directly in the sea, and some bad memories from the past flooded his mind, making Zhongli feel even more irritable.
Even after reaching the finish line, Zhongli's brows remained furrowed. He wished he could immediately return to his clothes, which were soaking wet and uncomfortable!
