Chapter 158 The noisy Tongzi is practically emergency food!
"Now I am old, and many times I have stood at the foot of the mountain, buried by the vast white snow. It is a ferocious beast without weaknesses, a manifestation of the ruthless side of the world, which terrifies me. And once an adventurer loses his courage, he cannot climb to the top."
The sunlight that had stopped shining down from the sky seemed to be urging him to give up on challenging this invincible mountain.
He did not give up on himself, but instead picked up tools and continued to gather what he had seen throughout his life.
"I no longer climb mountains, but dream bigger and farther. Humans invent tools to conquer nature, and then, because they are conquered by nature, they invent even better tools. If legs cannot reach a place, tools will do. If tools cannot do it, wings will be used."
Each discarded draft, each meticulously drawn line, each firm grip on the pen...
"My dear friends, I leave you the blueprints for the 'Unfinished Wings.' Humanity unites in the face of the unknown; as long as we live, we will eventually reach all that is visible."
The design blueprints ignited into flames, transforming into hope, and thus the "First Wings of Wind" were born.
A ray of light, stretching out with unwavering upward momentum, suddenly branched into countless paths leading in different directions, eventually becoming a towering tree.
Some roads end abruptly, some collide with each other, and some go their separate ways.
Only the first one, unwavering, slowly spreads upwards.
“My time is running out, and my time has not yet come. But among us, or among your children, students, and friends, there will surely be one who arrives.”
Through repeated failures, people keep trying.
Having been passed down, the initial glimmer of light soared into the sky and became starlight as bright as the sun.
......
Huiyuan opened her eyes firmly.
The meteorite's core emitted an even brighter light, coalescing into a tiny gemstone.
The Eye of God on Huiyuan's waist suddenly began to flicker.
Just then, the gem carrying the wish darted into Huiyuan's divine eye.
Huiyuan was startled and at a loss for what to do.
(What's going on? In the story, wasn't the meteorite core supposed to disappear after being cleared away? I didn't activate the Eye of God to suck it into the space.)
After I raised this question in my mind, Sister Tongzi's broadcast voice rang out continuously.
"Ding—You have obtained: Leonard's Adventure Wish 1. New features of the Eye of God are now available: [Wish Quest], [Fellow Pet Training], and [Automatic Elemental Skill Release]."
"Ding—A potential strong desire has been detected. The special mission 'The Minstrel's Sidekick' has been activated."
"Ding—Due to obtaining Leonard's wish, your basic mental strength has been upgraded from S-level to SS-level."
"Ding—Host attribute values have been detected to meet the requirements. New feature [Mobile Chat Function] is now enabled."
"Ding—The hidden achievement 'The Extinct Star' has been detected. This is a special encouragement. Don't stay at home, go out and get out more."
Huiyuan covered her ears because of the noise, but the system's voice came from her brain, so she could still hear it even with her ears covered, leaving Huiyuan speechless.
"What I'm saying is... Sister Tongzi, can we speak a little slower?"
"No."
The system decisively refused, leaving Huiyuan speechless.
Seeing so much new content, Huiyuan simply closed the interface, ignoring the little red dot that said 99+.
"Since Sister Tong is deliberately bothering me, then I'll... I'll open the previous messages later."
After closing the system interface, everyone woke up from their dream.
After discussing for a while, the ins and outs were clarified.
Mona pondered for a moment, then nodded, suddenly realizing what was going on.
"I never imagined it would be like this..."
Ying commented: "A persistent person is willing to pass on their will to the future."
"Human beliefs can actually remain in the sky for thousands of years... Wow, astrology is truly amazing!"
Mona suddenly started praising astrology, and Paimon, both curious and speechless, began to comment.
Why did we suddenly bring this up?
After Paimon asked the question, Mona proudly boasted again.
"If you can communicate with the stars, you can grasp all the secrets from ancient times to the present. Of course, there are very few astrologers besides me who can do this."
Seeing the cheerful Mona, Ying's expression suddenly turned serious, and she thanked him.
"Mona, thank you so much this time."
Ying's tone made Mona shudder; it was too cheesy.
"W-What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious..."
Ying didn't answer, but just narrowed her eyes and smiled at Mona.
Mona felt even more numb and quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, that girl named Fischl is really amazing."
The topic suddenly shifted to Fischl, and Paimon agreed with Mona's idea.
"I think so too! She clearly... uh... how should I put it..."
"He is a person full of whimsical ideas."
Seeing that Paimon hesitated to describe it, Ying helped her add to the description.
But Paimon didn't immediately confirm this claim. Instead, he recalled Fischl's melodramatic lines from before and raised a question.
"Even so, think back... what she said doesn't seem wrong. Could it be that she's the kind of person who gets the right result from the wrong process?"
Mona put her hands on her hips seriously, agreeing with Paimon's statement.
"Maybe that's true."
Although Fischl is a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), she is actually very reliable.
She always manages to reach the right conclusion at crucial moments. But her conclusions aren't as convincing.
Therefore, almost everyone in the Adventurers' Guild recruited Fischl into their adventure team because of Oz's reconnaissance abilities.
They even racked their brains to learn Fischl's cringeworthy language, just to get the information Oz had seen from Fischl.
No wonder Fischl was so reluctant to leave Ying and Huiyuan's side.
Who would refuse one, or rather two, no... four people who are willing to listen to them?
After discussing Fischl, Paimon looked around and sighed.
"What I least expected was that the pointed hat peak would actually turn into a small island!"
Mona also focused her attention on the island and made a summary.
"The high mountains of the past have become a small piece of land in the sea. Now, almost everyone in Mondstadt can get there by boat, right?"
After Mona said this, Paimon said worriedly, "Wouldn't that mean everyone could climb the Peak of the Sky? Would Leonard be happy? Although the Peak of the Sky was an accident, the Mondstadt people can now fly with the help of the Wind God. With wings, people can go to higher and farther places and explore more unknown corners."
