You bunch of jerks, what are you all doing?

Uh... alright, I take back what I just said. Looks like I saw someone I know.

Chen Luo looked up and saw that beneath the bus stop sign, a maid in white stockings was standing there quietly, attracting quite a bit of attention, and naturally, Chen Luo's attention as well.

"Sister Meng, why are you here?" Chen Luo greeted her as he walked quickly towards her.

Chen Luo was indeed quite surprised by Sister Meng's appearance.

"I came to see you off, really. You didn't say you were a Talent user earlier." After putting on her high heels, Sister Meng, who was about the same height as Chen Luo, ruffled his hair.

"Huh? Sister Meng, are you a Talent user too?" Feeling Sister Meng using Spiritual Energy to have a conversation only Talent users could hear, Chen Luo feigned surprise.

Conversations only Talent users could hear were actually a simple application of Spiritual Energy. Of course, it wasn't just Talent users who could hear it; those with the talent for Spiritual Energy cultivation could also hear it.

A more advanced version was single-person telepathy, which Chen Luo hadn't learned yet, only mastering broadcast-style communication.

"Not only me, but Miss is too. Miss heard you were going on a trip, so she specifically asked me to come give you some things." As Sister Meng spoke, she took out a black-covered book from somewhere and handed it to Chen Luo.

[Compendium of Basic Elemental Magic]: A magic book personally written by a "delicate" young lady, containing most basic elemental magic, with a particular emphasis on wind magic.

Price: 1500 raw stones. (Buyback price: 750 raw stones)

"This is a magic book that Miss spent three days personally writing, so you must cherish it. As for the specifics, I won't say more. Ask Miss yourself when you get back." Sister Meng winked playfully at Chen Luo.

"Alright, I'll be going then. Remember to come back early after your trip to see Miss, and me too." Sister Meng waved at Chen Luo and prepared to leave.

After all, someone else was coming soon.

"Wait, Sister Meng, let's shake hands." Chen Luo suddenly called out to Sister Meng and extended his hand.

"Huh? Oh."

Sister Meng didn't refuse. After shaking hands with Chen Luo, she suddenly disappeared like a bubble under Chen Luo's gaze.

It was a disappearance like a bubble, looking exceptionally fantastical, yet it didn't surprise anyone else standing under the bus stop sign.

Mengmeng

Race: Succubus

Holy crap, wait, what did I just see?

Sister Meng, that liar, she's not a Talent user at all, she's a succubus!

Others might have some talent called something something, but she's a demon herself.

Should I say it, do all those called Seven Luminaries Magus like to summon a demon?

But why a succubus?

Damn it, why am I getting more excited?

And that magnificent exit just now was also her using a succubus's innate skill.

Afterward, someone dressed in white robes, looking somewhat like a clergyman, walked up to Chen Luo after Sister Meng left and, without a word, handed Chen Luo a long staff.

Before Chen Luo could even figure out what this staff was or who that person was, they turned and left.

"A'Luo, quickly put this into your Backpack before your ability to distort common sense wears off," the Herrscher of Knowledge reminded him in Chen Luo's mind.

"Oh, oh." Chen Luo nodded, then put the long staff into his storage space, and then moved it from the storage space to his Backpack.

It was very obvious that Chen Luo had a storage ring, and its origin was very legitimate, so Chen Luo wasn't afraid of others seeing it.

It's just... who was that person just now?

That thing also seemed very valuable.

[Demon-Slaying Sacred Spear]: A divine spear imbued with holy power and blessed, possessing the effect of breaking through certain curses and spiritual energy barriers, but more importantly, it has the effect of dispelling and suppressing all evil and negative energies within its range.

Price: 1200 raw stones (Buyback price: 600 raw stones)

Good heavens, it's a high-level three-star weapon, almost four-star, similar in quality to that Elf Bow.

And judging by the description, it should be something from the church. Why would the church give me something?

Chen Luo, completely puzzled, boarded the sightseeing bus that had just arrived.

Even though he didn't understand, it didn't stop Chen Luo from accepting these items.

And 30 minutes later, with the Herrscher of Knowledge's help in distorting consciousness, Chen Luo quietly left this world on the sightseeing bus.

The moment he used the teleportation function, Chen Luo felt his world spin, followed by sounds of breaking wind and whistling.

"...Damn it!" Chen Luo looked at the buildings below, which were rapidly growing larger, and felt completely bewildered.

Why was his teleportation destination in the sky?

And it looked like it was quite high off the ground.

"I want to report this, I want to report this trash system for making a mistake... Wait, this isn't the system, it's my talent. Damn it!"

When Chen Luo saw the words [Talent Panel] on his talent panel, the words he wanted to curse out instantly got stuck in his throat.

This wasn't his talent at all! This was his nemesis!

[Ding! Teleportation error detected. This is an instability factor during the first world traversal, hence compensation is being issued.]

[Ding! Obtained Food (Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken) x3]

"What? Three Sweet Flower Brewed Chickens? Who are they trying to fool? You... wait." Chen Luo, who was about to start cursing, suddenly thought of something and sat cross-legged in the air, looking at his backpack.

At the same time, an endless gale surrounded Chen Luo, slowing his descent.

In this world, how could a holder of a wind-element Vision be unable to fly?

Sigh, I should have asked Venti for a Wind Glider earlier. But then again, could that broke bum Venti even afford a Wind Glider? Maybe I should ask Eula to buy one for me?

"Hey, A'Luo, do you need my help?" The phantom of the Herrscher of Knowledge appeared beside Chen Luo.

"No need for that. You should stay hidden. Let's see if the Honkai consciousness can detect you. My wind-element Vision isn't just for show; I definitely won't die from falling," Chen Luo shook his head and said.

"Alright then." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded, thinking Chen Luo made a lot of sense.

The Herrscher of Knowledge could fly and could definitely carry Chen Luo down in a princess carry.

However, because the Herrscher of Knowledge was the Herrscher of Knowledge, even after being modified by the spacetime turbulence and consuming the Inner Demon Lure, she still wasn't entirely sure if the Honkai consciousness could detect her, which was why she had been hiding inside Chen Luo.

At this moment, Chen Luo also found the three Sweet Flower Brewed Chickens that were distributed in his backpack.

[Delicious Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken] (Food): Poultry meat roasted after being honey-glazed. The meat is as tender as flowing honey, sweet and soft, making one want to suck every bone clean.

Effect: Restores 33% of the user's maximum HP.

"Holy crap, this is good stuff! Talent panel, can we discuss this? Can you glitch out a few more times?" Chen Luo exclaimed in amazement.

This Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken was different from the description in the game. The Delicious Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken in the game restored 24% of the selected character's maximum HP and an additional 1500 HP.

Perhaps because there was no HP attribute in reality, it directly restored 33%.

But no matter what, this thing was truly good.

This meant that even if you were on the verge of death, eating three Flower Brewed Chickens could almost fully revive you.

This... I can only say that in the game, Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken is one raw stone each. I'd sell as many as I could get.

And in reality, as long as I can buy Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken, even if it's 10 raw stones each, I'd buy as many as I can get.

But unfortunately, this Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken didn't even have a price or a buyback price listed.

"But is this Changkong City? It looks like the Third Honkai Outbreak hasn't happened yet." Chen Luo lowered his head, looking down at the bustling city.

The faster his descent speed, the more the gale struggled to hold him, so Chen Luo had been descending at a relatively slow speed.

Looking at the sky from this height, it would take at least several minutes to descend.

"I've finally experienced something like bungee jumping without a rope, but I should have gotten a parachute. Who would have thought I'd get to experience an emergency high-altitude landing like this?"

"This summer vacation is definitely exciting, or perhaps a bit too exciting."

The summer vacation started with bungee jumping without a parachute or rope. Who could handle that?

[Ding! Detected special event, activating limited-time event.]

Event Name: [Third Honkai Outbreak]

Event Content: Hunt as many Militants and Honkai Beasts as possible within 7 days.

Event Duration: 7 days.

Event Rewards:

For every Militant or Honkai Beast killed, a certain amount of raw stones will be obtained until 1000 raw stones are accumulated.

Once 1000 raw stones are accumulated, the obtained raw stones will be converted into an equivalent amount of crystals, which can be used to purchase exclusive limited-edition skills, items, weapons, talents, Divine Keys, Herrscher Cores, Stigmata, etc. unique to the Honkai World, with a 10% discount, or directly used for Herrscher Core gacha draws. Crystals can still be saved after the event, but the discount will disappear.

Every time a Militant or Honkai Beast is killed, the Honkai Energy Adaptation will increase by a base of 0.1%. The stronger the killed Militant or Honkai Beast, the higher the Honkai Energy Adaptation increase, up to a maximum of 200%.

Special unique achievement acquisition channels will be opened during the event, please explore them yourself.

During the event, you can freely explore the entire Changkong City and may receive special missions.

Faction system activated: You can freely join St. Freya Academy, Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, World Serpent, or form your own faction.

After joining a faction, you can freely purchase all skills, items, and talents belonging to faction members, even if you are not friends.

(Factions can be joined repeatedly)

Upon seeing this series of event rewards, Chen Luo's first reaction was: This world is worth it!

I and Honkai are irreconcilable enemies! I'm going to flatten all of Changkong City!

"No, wait, is this damn talent panel malfunctioning? The Third Honkai Outbreak hasn't even happened yet." Chen Luo, still flying in the sky, suddenly remembered this issue.

If the Third Honkai Outbreak hasn't happened, then where am I supposed to find monsters to fight? No, I mean, Militants and Honkai Beasts?

[Countdown begins, 7 days remaining.]

The talent panel suddenly popped out and shoved itself in Chen Luo's face.

"I told you the Honkai hasn't broken out yet!" Chen Luo said angrily.

"Buzz!" As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, he felt an invisible wave oscillating in the air, causing him slight discomfort.

However, because Chen Luo was at a high altitude and the wind was too strong, he couldn't hear any sounds, such as explosions.

Chen Luo looked down at the ground and felt that Changkong City, which was originally there, was covered in a hazy purple layer.

"The Third Honkai Outbreak has arrived," the Herrscher of Knowledge said in Chen Luo's mind.

"No, wait, the Third Honkai Outbreak arrived just as I got to Changkong City. What's the meaning of this? Did I bring the Third Honkai Outbreak?" Chen Luo was utterly bewildered.

"What does it have to do with you? Isn't it all Cocolia's fault? But it's also your fault. Did you forget to ask Theresa what day it is today?"

"Ummm... I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Is today March 28th?"

"How would I know? You should ask Theresa."

Although Chen Luo wasn't sure if today's date was the same as in the original work, Chen Luo knew one thing.

He was about to go on a killing spree!

Militants, Honkai Beasts extermination plan, commence!

Chapter 66: Excuse me, are you my Master? (4K)

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell... Is my elemental power a bit unstable?" As Chen Luo floated down from the sky, he suddenly noticed a slight issue with his control over his elemental power.

Chen Luo immediately took out the Vision from his Backpack and found that the Vision was faintly emitting a glow.

"Wait, what's going on?" Chen Luo suddenly had the illusion that his Vision was absorbing Honkai Energy.

"It's obvious your Vision is absorbing Honkai Energy, though I don't know why," the Herrscher of Knowledge, being a Herrscher, had plenty of say on this matter.

At least the Herrscher of Knowledge could see the direction of the Honkai Energy.

"Holy crap, I remember now. According to research, the Honkai civilization and the Teyvat continent are actually in the same world. And within this worldview, there are countless worlds."

Furthermore, Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact had a crossover event before. Keqing, who was quite weak in Genshin Impact, became an earth-shattering powerhouse in Honkai Impact 3rd.
