Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

Even if he wasn't invincible yet, he could probably walk sideways in this world.

However, Yin Kong was also very clear about one thing: absolute power always attracts external threats.

Wasn't King Deshret, a transcendent being who easily subdued the entirety of Teyvat, crippled by the returning Laoni from beyond the stars, unable to extricate himself from his slumber?

He hadn't forgotten the pair of giant black hands that had recently emerged from the vortex.

Although they had been completely annihilated by [Yatagarasu], both Yin Kong and Zhongli knew this in their hearts:

This was likely just a probing by the Abyss. Given the Abyss's nature, it had probably already set its sights on this world.

According to Zhongli's judgment, a Level 110 giant hand already possessed the strength of a god.

Of course, players all knew that while levels were indeed important, they didn't represent everything.

A Level 90 "character" might not necessarily lose to a "monster" over Level 100.

In front of a fully-constellated, max-refinement Natlan money truck, a mere Level 110 god would be no different from a speed bump.

But clearly, this wasn't the Abyss's limit either.

Yin Kong had the opportunity to crush enemies of Level 110, 120, or even 130 and 140 directly with the system's help.

But what about higher levels?

"So, while this might just be me worrying unnecessarily, Traveler, please don't squander your potential, even if it's just for the Abyss that might arrive at any moment."

Speaking of which, Zhongli also smiled slightly:

"Of course, before that, if a fight is needed, please leave it to us with peace of mind."

Mr. Zhongli, as always, was incredibly reliable.

Hearing the assurance in his mind, Yin Kong felt an infinite sense of peace once more.

"Today, we'll first learn spear techniques. As for talismans, it's not too late to start learning once you've activated your elemental power..."

Although what Yin Kong found very intriguing was that the Geo Archon seemed to have already found a way to help him activate his elemental power?

However, at this moment, he also chose to calm himself and focus on learning.

As the saying goes, comparing people leads to death, and comparing goods leads to throwing them away.

After experiencing the Geo Archon's private tutoring, Yin Kong truly understood how unprofessional Paimon's previous, almost nonsensical, teaching had been.

More accurately, while Little Paimon's vision wasn't low, she ultimately didn't understand how to fight.

To her, actions that seemed identical might actually be worlds apart internally.

Even though he was teaching spear techniques, Zhongli simply made minor adjustments and corrections to Yin Kong's basic stances, as well as his techniques for applying and releasing force. His stuck single-handed sword normal attack talent then naturally broke through to LV. 3.

In addition, Zhongli also imparted a formal cultivation method to him.

Although it was still the most basic technique of breathing and regulating qi, it allowed him to come into contact with "qi" for the first time and learn to walk on walls.

With various enhancements, Yin Kong's physical fitness had long since reached a superhuman level, but his combat style was truly lacking.

To put it bluntly, it was all about brute force achieving miracles, just hacking and slashing wildly.

Only now, under Zhongli's guidance, did he truly begin to understand how to fight.

When one is immersed in learning, time naturally flies by.

Yin Kong felt like it was just the blink of an eye before he received another call from Fei Yingli.

"These are... Imperial Coins?"

Seeing the Imperial Coins Yin Kong produced, Fei Yingli's expression became exceptionally surprised.

In her original imagination, Imperial Coins should have been some kind of ancient copper coins.

But now, what Yin Kong held were actually two gold coins?

In Fei Yingli's memory, although there were records of gold coins being used in Chinese and Japanese history, they were extremely rare.

Moreover, wasn't their color a bit too new?

The surface of the Imperial Coins was smooth as a mirror, with flowing and exquisite patterns.

No matter how Fei Yingli looked at them, she didn't think they were ancient artifacts. Instead, they looked like modern crafts freshly made from a forge last week.

If Yin Kong could hear the lawyer's inner doubts, he might have smiled and corrected her mistaken judgment.

In fact, these two Imperial Coins were something he had asked Zhongli to forge just before leaving. Each one consumed a full ninety-nine Mora, so it wasn't an exaggeration to say they were still warm.

"Lawyer Fei, you may not know this, but there's an old Chinese saying: sincerity moves the heavens.

While these Imperial Coins are indeed not ancient artifacts, the symbols of the Geo Archon on them are real. If the symbols are real, then the deity they represent is also real. The Geo Archon will hear your prayers..."

Listening to Yin Kong's explanation, Fei Yingli was naturally full of suspicion.

After all, this explanation sounded too unreliable.

Chapter 37: Conan's World

Although it was far from her expectations, Fei Yingli still sincerely thanked him.

After all, this was someone's heartfelt gesture. If she were to be picky again, she would truly be ungrateful.

After receiving the two Imperial Coins, the renowned lawyer's face once again showed surprise.

She was astonished to find that the Imperial Coins didn't feel cold and metallic as she had imagined. Instead, they felt like fine jade, warm and smooth to the touch.

She examined the two "gold coins" closely, realizing she couldn't tell what material they were made from at all.

Judging by the texture, they resembled gold, but if they were real gold coins, they shouldn't be so light.

Furthermore, the craftsmanship was unexpectedly superb.

Lawyer Fei's discerning eye quickly recognized that the unique shape and exquisite craftsmanship of these Imperial Coins meant they were far from being cheap, mass-produced items, even if they were modern artifacts.

More importantly, perhaps it was a psychological effect, but after holding the Imperial Coins in her palm, when she thought about demons and monsters again, she no longer felt as afraid?

"Mr. Yin Kong, which deity exactly is the Lord of Geo you mentioned?"

Yin Kong explained:

"Naturally, it's the Geo Archon. Legend has it that he is not only a deity who governs commerce and contracts but also a war god who has swept through countless armies."

Fei Yingli nodded gently, quietly committing these details to memory.

After sending off the lawyer, Yin Kong returned to his quiet room, immersing himself in study, unable to pull away.

That night passed without any new disturbances or unexpected events.

"Hiss, why is it so cold?"

The next morning, Yin Kong was woken up by the cold.

The thin blanket on him couldn't block out the biting chill at all; only his chest felt a bit warm.

Yin Kong lifted the thin blanket and indeed saw Paimon lying on his chest, fast asleep and oblivious.

As if sensing Yin Kong's movement, the little creature groggily opened its eyes:

"Good morning, Traveler, you're awake—Whoa, it's so cold!"

Without Yin Kong acting as a human heater, Paimon finally felt the cold.

Yin Kong pulled open the curtains and was surprised to find that in just one night, the outside had transformed into a world of white.

A thick layer of snow had fallen on the streets and the rooftops of the tall buildings.

"It's snowing? Traveler, this is the first time we've seen snow outside Dragonspine, right?"

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Paimon excitedly rubbed her palms together and suggested:

"Since it's such a great opportunity, why don't we have a snowball fight?

It's a shame Amber and Eula aren't here, otherwise, it would be so enjoyable to go to a hot spring together..."

However, Yin Kong was clearly not as excited as Paimon. He frowned:

"Paimon, don't you find anything strange?"

"What's strange?" Paimon was stunned for a moment before realizing, "That's right! I remember summer just ended not long ago, and it should be autumn now. Why is it suddenly snowing?"

It couldn't be that King Deshret heard Yin Kong's grumbling yesterday and smashed down his giant nail overnight, could it?

Of course, Yin Kong knew that was obviously impossible.

If they had truly been hit by King Deshret's giant nail, then forget Tokyo, the entire island nation would probably have been flattened by now.

Moreover, he already had a vague answer in his mind.

He directly summoned the system and opened the Wish interface.

As expected, the Zhongli banner, which should have had several more days left, had already ended prematurely.

It had been replaced by a dual banner featuring Hu Tao and Neuvillette.

At the same time, in the bottom right corner of the banner, the remaining time displayed was twelve days.

This meant that today was not the first day of the banner.

With that in mind, the answer became very clear.

"Let's go check on Ms. Yoko."

With his mind made up, Yin Kong immediately led Paimon to the living room, where they saw Ono Yoko busy in the kitchen.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Smelling the aroma of food, Paimon's little head instantly forgot her previous doubts:

"Is Ms. Yoko making breakfast for us? Saury, grilled eel, bacon and eggs... all my favorites. Ms. Yoko is so thoughtful!"

"Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Soon, Ono Yoko brought out the steaming hot breakfast.

The idol had her long hair tied up and was wearing a fitted loungewear set. Her voice was gentle, and she looked every bit the devoted wife and mother.

"I hope you don't mind if it's not perfect."

This was, of course, a modest statement. The breakfast had clearly taken a lot of her effort.

Her expectant eyes showed that the idol was quite confident in her cooking skills.

Because she was actually in charge of a morning cooking show. Although she was just the host, she had managed to learn quite a few practical skills.

"How could that be?" Yin Kong chuckled and shook his head, praising, "This breakfast smells amazing. Look, Paimon can't wait to start eating."

Seeing Paimon already digging in, Ono Yoko naturally felt quite encouraged.

After all, this was the greatest compliment a chef could receive.

However, the idol seemed to care more about Yin Kong's reaction.

Noticing her gaze, Yin Kong naturally gave a thumbs-up:

"It's delicious."

Upon receiving his answer, the idol felt completely satisfied, an incredibly bright smile appearing on her face.

Next, little Paimon displayed an astonishing appetite. Under Ono Yoko's surprised gaze, she cleared everything except what Yin Kong and she themselves had in front of them.

"I'm so full. I wish I could eat such a lavish breakfast every day."

"Okay." Hearing this, Ono Yoko, with a beaming smile, untied her apron and said, "I'll come make breakfast for little Paimon every day from now on, alright?"

"Ah?" Paimon couldn't help but freeze for a moment, instinctively asking, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Miss Yoko?"

Slow-witted as she was, Paimon finally sensed that something was a little off.

Ono Yoko said with a smile:

"Of course not, after all, we're neighbors now."

Paimon hesitated for a moment, then finally waved her little hands and refused:

"Never mind, I won't trouble Miss Yoko anymore. You're already so busy usually... Um, I absolutely don't mean that your cooking isn't good."

Ono Yoko hadn't expected her culinary offensive to meet Waterloo in such an unexpected way.

Although Paimon vehemently denied it, how could she not see that the little one was just protesting too much?
