Welt: The Honkai is Still Chasing Me!

Venti was utterly disappointed that he hadn't managed to prank Zhongli.

"No way, old man, is my acting really that bad?"

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Venti took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Zhongli.

"Old man, you should try these bar snacks too."

Zhongli took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of spicy pig ear salad, and put it in his mouth.

The fresh aroma of chili paired perfectly with the crispy texture of the pig ear.

"Mmm~ These bar snacks taste quite good."

The two of them chatted and drank, enjoying the snacks.

Unbeknownst to them, the scent of the snacks drifted with the wind, reaching a Sky-Faring Commission nearby.

Inside the Sky-Faring Commission, Cloud Retainer, who was tinkering with a contraption, suddenly looked up and sniffed the fragrant air deeply.

"What is that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"

Looking in the direction the scent was coming from, Cloud Retainer realized it was from outside the Sky-Faring Commission.

So, Cloud Retainer opened the gate and stepped out.

Just as she exited the mountain cave that concealed the entrance to the Sky-Faring Commission, Cloud Retainer saw Venti and Zhongli drinking in the distance.

"Barbatos? Rex Lapis?"

Cloud Retainer flapped her wings and flew over to them.

"Rex Lapis, Venti."

In earlier years, Venti often visited Liyue and was quite familiar with the Adepti.

Coupled with Venti's easygoing personality, the Adepti in Liyue mostly called this Incarnation of Venti by his name directly, except for Xiao, who had received Venti's favor.

"Cloud Retainer, it's you! Long time no see!" Venti waved at Cloud Retainer.

Zhongli also nodded gently at Cloud Retainer.

Cloud Retainer glanced at the food and drinks on the table.

"Venti, after so many years, you're still as fond of drinking as ever."

Venti let out an "ehe".

"Of course! Cloud Retainer, would you like to try some? I brought these from Another World."

Cloud Retainer looked at Venti in surprise.

"Another World?"

Venti smiled.

"That's right. If you don't believe me, ask the old man."

Cloud Retainer looked at Zhongli, giving him a questioning look.

Zhongli said,

"These foods and drinks are not products of Teyvat."

Cloud Retainer looked at Venti in disbelief.

"Venti, how did you go to Another World?"

Venti took a sip of wine and told Cloud Retainer about Ye Yun.

After listening, especially hearing that Venti was taking Zhongli to Another World tomorrow, Cloud Retainer immediately clamored to go along as well.

Zhongli said,

"There is no rush. Barbatos and I will go first tomorrow. Once confirmed, we will bring the rest of you Adepti over."

Seeing that Zhongli had spoken, Cloud Retainer dejectedly agreed.

Seeing this, Venti handed Cloud Retainer a pair of chopsticks.

"Oh, don't think too much about it. Come, eat with us."

Cloud Retainer looked at the bar snacks on the table and sniffed; they did smell quite good.

So, Cloud Retainer took the chopsticks and began to eat.

Belobog Underworld.

Dan Heng brought Welt to the scene.

The moment Welt saw Stelle, he froze on the spot.

More accurately, he froze when he saw the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash in Stelle's hand.

"Stelle, where did you get that weapon?"

Stelle waved the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash in her hand.

"You mean this, Uncle Yang? I got this from Ye Yun through a lottery. How about it? Pretty cool, right! Hehe."

Welt wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Cool. Can I take a look?"

Stelle handed the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash to Welt.

"Here, Uncle Yang. Be careful, this weapon consumes stamina when you use it."

Welt took the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash and examined it, confirming it was essentially identical to the one he knew.

The only difference was that the one he knew would unleash extremely high temperatures when used, while this one only consumed stamina.

Welt couldn't help but think, If the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash in my world only consumed stamina...

Hiss!!!

Welt inhaled sharply.

Seeing Welt's expression, Stelle asked with concern.

"Uncle Yang, what's wrong?"

Welt came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Nothing. Here you go."

Stelle took back the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash and transformed it into its Dual Pistol Form, tucking them into her waist.

Welt looked at Svarog beside him.

"Is this the Automaton?"

Dan Heng nodded slightly.

"Mm."

March 7th also chimed in.

"Uncle Yang, please help us fix it quickly. Svarog is a very important family member to Clara."

Hearing that Svarog was related to Clara, Welt immediately thought of the robot Clara had mentioned who taught her mechanical knowledge.

"Okay, let me take a look first."

After a thorough inspection, Welt said.

"It's not a big problem, just a few connection points are burned out. I'll just replace them."

More than ten minutes later, Welt had repaired Svarog, and Svarog stood up.

"Thank you, unfamiliar human."

Welt shook his head slightly.

"It's nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

With that, Welt said goodbye to Stelle, March 7th, Dan Heng, and Svarog, and returned to the Train.

Stelle patted Svarog's thigh.

"Svarog, what was going on with you earlier? You just started attacking without a word."

Svarog said.

"Stellaron, taboo, not permitted to be touched."

Hearing this, the three finally understood. It turned out they had touched a taboo in Svarog's programming. No wonder Svarog suddenly went berserk.

After staying for a while, Svarog took the Automatons back to the Robot Settlement.

Stelle, March 7th, and Dan Heng headed towards Boulder Town.

As they entered Boulder Town, they immediately saw Natasha, Seele, and Bronya in the distance, looking worried and discussing something.

Stelle waved.

"Natasha, Seele, Bronya, what are you guys talking about?"

Natasha turned around.

"Oh, it's you. Are you finished?"

March 7th nodded.

"We're done. Svarog is fixed and has gone back with its Automatons. What about you guys? What are you talking about here?"

Before Natasha could answer, Seele quickly replied.

"We're discussing whether or not to go to Rivets Town. A lot of people were injured in this battle, and we don't have enough medical supplies."

Upon hearing this, Stelle patted her chest.

"Then let's go! We'll go with you."

Hearing this, Natasha shook her head and refused.

"No need, Seele and Bronya are enough," Natasha said, shaking her head. "You just helped us out a lot, you should rest."

March 7th said.

"It's fine, let's go," Stelle said from the side. "We'll go together."

"Exactly," Stelle continued. "I'm the righteous Galaxy Bat Hero! How can I not help when someone needs it?"

Seeing this, Natasha found it hard to refuse.

"Then please be careful," she said. "If things get too difficult, don't be reckless."

Stelle and the others agreed.

Afterward, the five of them headed to Rivets Town together.

As soon as they arrived, they were attacked by a group of Fragmentum monsters.

Fortunately, Bronya noticed in time and quickly drew her gun.

"Watch out!"

Bronya fired a shot, killing a Thunderbird that was trying to sneak attack.

Seeing this, the others quickly took out their weapons and entered combat.
