Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

Even if Zhongli didn't say it, Yin Kong would prioritize maxing out his level first.

Soon, Zhongli's level was raised to twenty, and his weapon was replaced with a level twenty [Black Tassel Spear].

Unfortunately, he hadn't obtained a single Artifact in this world yet.

"Truly incredible... as expected of the Traveler, always displaying abilities that completely defy common sense." Feeling the changes in his body, Zhongli's voice carried a hint of awe. "So, you can't continue to enhance this avatar's power due to a lack of key materials?"

"That's right. Zhongli, do you have a solution?"

Yin Kong nodded vigorously, full of anticipation.

Both breaking through level twenty and enhancing talents required materials unique to the Teyvat Continent.

As for Mora and experience books, he could still obtain them through quests, but for these breakthrough materials, he was truly at a loss.

Zhongli fell into thought:

"Indeed, I can feel that although this avatar originates from my main body, it can no longer establish a connection with Teyvat, nor can it transfer supplies. However, if it's just about enhancing this avatar's power, I might be able to find some substitutes. It's just that this might take some ti—Traveler! Dodge left!"

Mid-sentence, Zhongli suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Yin Kong was startled, but trusting the Geo Archon implicitly, he didn't hesitate to dodge to the left.

Yin Kong felt a pain in his shoulder. By the time he came to his senses, he found a deep, bone-revealing gash on his right arm.

"Found you!"

A familiar female voice echoed in the center of the apartment. Without a doubt, the attacker was the monster in the guise of Vermouth.

She stuck out her tongue, licking the flesh and blood torn from Yin Kong's arm, and her beautiful face immediately flushed with excitement:

"Wonderful! It's truly wonderful! How can there be such a wonderful taste in this world?!

As expected, you are special, even more special than a [Sacrificial Person]..."

How in the hell did this thing track me down?!

Facing "Chris's" gaze, which was so intense it felt like it could melt him, Yin Kong had the urge to curse loudly.

Chapter 19: Paimon's Food Fund

Damn it, this monster can not only move quickly through mirrors but also tracked me all the way to the apartment!?

Yin Kong didn't immediately use food to heal the wound. Instead, he glanced at the full-length mirror, his heart filled with disbelief.

Because Zhongli had already told him that the other party had suddenly flown out of the mirror just moments ago.

Behind him, Paimon had already hugged Ono Yoko with practiced ease, not daring to make a sound.

The little one knew very well that not panicking and distracting Yin Kong was the greatest help she could offer right now.

Yin Kong also didn't immediately use food to recover his wound. Instead, he tentatively asked:

"What exactly are you? And what is a [Sacrificial Person]?"

"We, naturally, are the true masters of this world. As for [Sacrificial Person]—" "Chris's" eyes were fanatical as she continuously licked the flesh and blood on her claws, as if forcibly controlling her surging desire to devour. "If you tell me who you are and if you have any family, I can grant you the answer."

Yin Kong immediately replied:

"Me? Just an ordinary Traveler. As for family, I regret to say that they are no longer in this world."

"What a pity, then I can only—"

Upon receiving the answer, "Chris's" face was naturally filled with disappointment.

The next moment, her figure vanished from her spot:

"—only eat you first!"

Before her voice even fell, "Chris" had already appeared in front of Yin Kong, her dark beast claws plunging towards his shoulder.

But soon, the bloodthirsty look on the monster's face turned into surprise.

Because the moment her claws were about to touch Yin Kong's body, he suddenly blurred and then, without any warning, transformed into a tall, heroic man with golden eyes.

More importantly, the man held a black spear, its sharp tip pointed directly at her right eye.

The scene was as if she had actively rammed her own eye into the tip of the spear.

However, "Chris's" surprise quickly turned into disdain.

As expected, just an ordinary person. Although he possessed some unknown means, as long as she got serious, these seemingly sharp weapons could barely pierce her skin.

She neither dodged nor evaded, simply closed her right eye and continued to charge towards the spear tip.

Zhongli, however, his gaze shifted. A golden Geo construct rose from behind him, precisely supporting the end of the Black Tassel Spear.

Driven by immense power, the end of the Black Tassel Spear emitted a grating sound, embedding itself deeply into the Geo construct.

Correspondingly, the sharp spear tip successfully pierced "Chris's" eyelid and continued through her eye socket all the way into her brain.

HP -4396!

White numbers, representing physical damage, floated up. "Chris" finally let out a painful shriek.

However, Yin Kong helplessly noticed that this unprecedented damage had only caused the monster's health bar to drop by less than a fifth.

Clearly, this terrible injury, which would have been fatal to an ordinary person long ago, was far from lethal to these monsters.

Although the damage from this attack wasn't high, the insult it delivered was extreme.

At the very least, "Chris" was clearly completely enraged.

With a roar, her right claw changed from a stab to a sweep, its tip glowing with a pitch-black light, as if intending to tear Yin Kong to shreds.

However, Zhongli had long anticipated the opponent's reaction.

He raised his right hand, and golden Geo power instantly gathered into a mystical seal, the very same Demon-Quelling Incantation from Liyue. He then slapped it onto the Black Tassel Spear.

The golden ancient seal traveled along the Black Tassel Spear, directly penetrating "Chris's" head, and then—it detonated!

HP -37659!

Large golden damage numbers floated above "Chris's" head. Her remaining health bar was instantly depleted, and she then collapsed limply.

"Zhongli?!"

Only now did Paimon finally react.

She looked at Zhongli, her voice filled with immense surprise:

"That's great, it's Zhongli! We're saved!"

She too felt the sense of security this Geo Archon brought.

However, just as Paimon let out a sigh of relief, Zhongli suddenly raised his hand, signaling her not to act rashly:

"Wait, don't come over yet, it's not dead!"

At Zhongli's reminder, Yin Kong also sensed something was wrong.

Even though "Chris" had fallen, no materials had dropped.

If this wasn't part of a story, it would mean—

This damn thing actually had a second phase?!

Zhongli moved with extreme speed, his Black Tassel Spear already lifting "Chris's" remaining body.

But before he could make any further moves, the monster's body exploded, transforming into clumps of black liquid.

These sludge-like liquids reassembled in mid-air, quickly forming a blurry humanoid shape.

"LV59 [Chameleon Witch]?"

Only now did Yin Kong finally learn the true level and name of this monster.

However, looking at the blood-red level fifty-nine and the fully replenished health bar, his heart couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

Even though Zhongli possessed the consciousness of an Archon, asking a level twenty character, whose weapon, artifacts, and talents were all un-upgraded, to fight a level fifty-nine monster seemed a bit too much to ask.

"I've changed my mind. I'm going to tear your flesh off piece by piece, and then eat it bite by bite!"

The Chameleon Witch's voice became cold and rough, no longer possessing the sweet charm of a great star. Her hatred for Yin Kong had clearly reached its peak.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

More than ten tentacles made of black liquid descended like sharp swords towards Zhongli, completely sealing off all his escape routes.

A golden Jade Screen Shield suddenly rose, only to be shattered in an instant.

It was clear that the terrifying level difference between the two sides had reduced Zhongli's shield to only being able to block for a brief moment.

Although this Geo Archon had used that brief moment to successfully escape the deadly cage she had woven for him.

Soon, the Chameleon Witch began to curse loudly:

"Damn it! Are you just going to keep dodging like a bug?!"

She was utterly shocked to discover that in terms of speed, strength, and reaction, she was far superior to Zhongli.

More accurately, she completely crushed him.

Logically, the battle should have ended in an instant.

But in reality, Zhongli seemed to have predicted all her moves, always finding her weakest points to break through.

Even when occasionally cornered, he could still use the Jade Screen Shield to buy himself an opportunity to escape.

It felt like a mosquito constantly buzzing around her ear, yet she couldn't catch it no matter what.

"Damn it, Zhongli's level isn't high enough!"

Seeing this, Paimon stomped her feet anxiously.

Although Zhongli was temporarily tying down the monster, she knew that this kind of dancing on the edge of a knife couldn't last forever.

Moreover, it would be terrible if the monster shifted its attention to them.

Finally, after some hesitation, Paimon shouted loudly:

"Traveler, use the little vault in my shoe!"

The little vault in her shoe?!

Yin Kong was stunned for a moment, but then felt a sense of helplessness.

He actually knew about the little vault in Paimon's shoe.

However, he hadn't expected them to actually bring it along.

What he needed right now were character ascension materials, not Mora.

"No, Traveler, Mora is very useful. Please take it out."

But Zhongli's voice suddenly echoed in Yin Kong's mind.

Chapter 20: What Do You Mean By "Geo Archon" (Tactical Lean Back)

[Paimon's Food Fund].

Looking at the slime-shaped piggy bank that suddenly appeared in his backpack, Yin Kong hesitated for a moment before choosing to open it.

[Mora] ×300,000.

Three hundred thousand Mora?!

As expected of you, Paimon.

Yin Kong recalled his two months of grueling work, earning about two hundred thousand Mora in total. He never imagined that a rich woman was right beside him.

Then again, how were so many gold coins stuffed into Paimon's tiny soles?

Of course, now was not the time to ponder these things.

At Zhongli's signal, Yin Kong immediately took out all the Mora.

Seeing the gold coins emitting a captivating glow suddenly appear before Zhongli, the [Chameleon Witch] floating in mid-air clearly misunderstood his intention and said dismissively:

"You want to beg for mercy now? Isn't it too late?"

Besides, human gold and jewels held no appeal to them at all.

Not only that, but Paimon's voice also reminded her.
