You Have a Problem—None of You Seem Human

Whoosh! A fiery red arrow flew in from afar, striking the Clockwork Meka hound attacking Lynette.

The next instant, a large cat swaying inside a hat was left behind where it had been: Cat Burglar's Hat.

The appearance of Cat Burglar's Hat immediately drew the monsters' aggro again.

Lynette saw the Cat Burglar cat appear ahead of her, then saw her brother running over from afar, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Wu Wanghai also sighed in relief. His luck was incredible, haha. I really must be the protagonist. A big shot always comes to save me at the crucial moment. Awesome!

Lyney had no time to say anything to the three people in the Domain. The urgent matter was to deal with the three monsters in front of them first.

With Lyney joining them, both Lynette and Wu Wanghai found the battle becoming far more relaxed.

After all, Lyney and Lynette both had magic hats and cats that could taunt enemies. All that remained was to dodge through positioning.

One thing was worth mentioning...

"No! My Whopperflowers! You died such horrible deaths!"

Wu Wanghai discovered that although the monsters he captured were under his control, they were not immune to his teammates' damage at all. They took every hit.

Unlike the monsters summoned by his own skill. Though the word Vaporize kept popping up over their heads, they did not take the slightest bit of damage.

So just now, the two Whopperflowers attacking from the side had been accidentally killed by Lyney after he transformed into Cat Burglar's Hat.

But he had gained over two hundred experience points. Great. No, no, he was still heartbroken, okay?

However, Wu Wanghai also noticed something. Even with Lyney joining in, and Swirl and Vaporize constantly popping over the three monsters' heads, their HP bars still dropped painfully slowly. The damage was still pathetic.

"Lynette, what level are you and your brother Lyney?" Wu Wanghai, who could slack off in the back again, suddenly asked.

"What chicken?" Lynette asked in confusion.

Lyney looked at Lynette, equally unable to understand what Wu Wanghai, the man who had abducted his sister, meant.

That was right, Lyney recognized Wu Wanghai. He had only realized it during the battle just now—the guy fighting beside Lynette was the same person who had confessed to Furina, the Hydro Archon, during the trial.

"And Lynette, you don't seem able to group enemies either. Why are you still at zero constellations?"

"???" Lynette remained confused.

"Lyney, you're at zero constellations too. Why can your cat hat only keep one around at a time?"

"..." Lyney had no idea what Wu Wanghai was talking about, much less how to reply.

Just as Wu Wanghai's two questions left them speechless...

"Ding."

His phone suddenly appeared again. Wu Wanghai opened the interface and found that the entire screen was unresponsive. A progress bar had appeared on it. 1%.

What was going on? Wu Wanghai could not figure it out either.

2%. The progress was pretty fast. Hopefully it would not get stuck at 99% for too long.

For now, he should focus on slowly chipping away at the enemies.

After an unknown amount of time, the first monster was finally defeated, and the other two soon followed.

Lyney put away his bow and immediately walked over to Lynette. Seeing that she seemed slightly injured, he asked, "Lynette, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, Brother." Lynette immediately shook her head.

Lyney carefully examined Lynette's body. After confirming she was truly unharmed, he turned around, intending to question Wu Wanghai.

99%—100%.

The progress on the phone suddenly completed as well. The next moment, the interface returned to its starry background, with another icon added to it.

[Scan]

Wu Wanghai tapped it, and a scanning interface appeared. However, in the center was the icon of an illusory human figure.

What did that mean? Just as Wu Wanghai was wondering, Lyney walked over and happened to enter the scan range.

The next moment, Lyney's basic information suddenly appeared on the phone.

Lyney, male. Race: ?. Faction: Fatui, House of the Hearth. Vision: Pyro. Level: 20/20. Constellation: 0.

His level was only 20, and his constellation really was 0. Wait, what did that question mark for race mean?

Confused, Wu Wanghai scanned Lynette again.

Lynette, female. Race: ?. Faction: Fatui, House of the Hearth. Vision: Anemo. Level: 16/20. Constellation: 0.

??? Still confused, Wu Wanghai scanned Furina, who had run back over.

Furina, female. Race: ?. Faction: Fontaine.

"Huh???" Wu Wanghai was even more baffled. Furina's information had even less on it. Why did it not show her Gnosis? There was no level or constellation either.

Perhaps this newly added scan function was a little useless.

Wu Wanghai scanned himself. To his surprise, it really worked, though it revealed even less than his own personal information.

Wu Wanghai, male. Race: human. Faction: chaotic. Vision: Hydro. Level: 10/20.

Wu Wanghai discovered something incredible.

"You three aren't human, are you?!" Wu Wanghai's sudden words interrupted Lyney's questioning.

"Brother, he's saying we aren't human." Lynette covered her mouth. She was not even snickering; her face remained expressionless.

"I heard him, Lynette!" The veins on Lyney's forehead bulged. He had not even said anything yet—why did this man immediately seem to be insulting and mocking them?

Furina put her hands on her hips at the side. This had nothing to do with her at all. "But I'm a god! Isn't it perfectly normal for me not to be human?"

Wu Wanghai raised both hands in surrender. "All right, pretend I said nothing. Maybe there's something wrong with this phone's scan function. But... it says I'm human. Why are you all question marks? Could it be that you're not pure humans, but mixed-bloods?"

Furina's heart suddenly tightened. How had this guy figured it out? Then she understood why Wu Wanghai had said that.

Indeed, Fontaine's people were all related to the former Hydro Archon Egeria. They were...

"Ahem." Wu Wanghai suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts and ran toward the Ley Line Tree.

"My display says there's a countdown. We have just over ten minutes before we're forcibly teleported out."

Getting the rewards was the priority. Wu Wanghai took out his phone before the Ley Line Tree. He tapped Domain.

"Please, please." Wu Wanghai prayed inwardly. Don't let us fight for so long only for this place to give us no Artifacts in the end.

The next instant, a vortex appeared in the center of the phone, sucking in a massive amount of blue gas tinged with purple.

Then, the phone automatically switched to the inventory.

Wu Wanghai discovered that the inventory now had an Artifact category.

He looked inside: six blue items and one purple item.

The purple item was a white flower with golden decorations and a sapphire set into it.

Not bad. At least it was a skill-set flower! Wu Wanghai looked at its stats and was instantly disappointed. Two trash substats...

Golden Troupe's Variation (Flower of Life): HP 645, Level 0, HP +3.3%, DEF +17.

Seriously! Even though it was purple, Wu Wanghai nearly died of anger. Give him something useful!

Forget it, forget it. He would leave it at that. He did not want to run this Domain anymore. He could just farm decent Gladiator's or Berserker pieces in the open world as transitional gear.

Wu Wanghai still felt that monsters in the open world were easier to farm and fight.

Speaking of the Berserker set, there seemed to be blue pieces among these. Wu Wanghai looked at the six blue items.

Berserker's Plume (Plume of Death): ATK 28, Level 0, Energy Recharge 3.9%.

Berserker's Bone Goblet (Goblet of Eonothem): Hydro DMG Bonus 5.2%, Level 0, ATK +9.

After looking through them, Wu Wanghai found that only these two of the six were usable.

They were blue, but one of them was actually a Hydro goblet.

And with two pieces, it directly gave 12% CRIT Rate, which was a lot. Too bad he could not get four pieces right now. Above 70% HP, it would add another 24%.

Wu Wanghai almost wanted to go straight for four Berserker pieces.

Too bad there were no blue Golden Troupe pieces, or else he could have gone two-and-two right now.

Wu Wanghai nodded inwardly and equipped the three pieces, along with a blue sands whose main stat was DEF.

As for the remaining circlet? ...There wasn't one! What could he do if it did not give him one? So miserable. Otherwise, a full set would have been pretty decent.

Still, it should be enough to get by for a while.

Feeling that he had made quite a haul, Wu Wanghai walked behind the tree the next moment and vanished.

Inside the Domain, the remaining three looked at one another in confusion.

Lyney turned to Furina in her black robe. "Lady Furina, let's go too."

Lyney had no idea why the Hydro Archon had changed her appearance, put on a black robe, and ended up here with his sister, only to encounter such difficult Clockwork Mekas.

In any case, now that Wu Wanghai had already left, Lyney did not want to stay here any longer. He took his sister and called for Furina to leave.

"Okay, wait for me!" Seeing Lyney and Lynette walk far away, Furina worried that Clockwork Mekas might suddenly appear again and hurried after them.
