As everyone knew, the Genshin Impact martial soul could actually be launched!
Ji Feng only had to say silently to himself, Genshin Impact, launch! and he could start playing Genshin Impact in his mind.
Afterward, Nahida shared the following with Ji Feng: Aether could jump a hundred and twenty times in succession, all the way to Celestia; resources across the entire map automatically flew toward Aether; Aether could fold his arms and unleash a Planet Befall that dealt 2.1 billion damage; and he could smoothly unleash the elemental bursts of every character in Genshin Impact with no cooldowns.
Holy shit, it really is hacked! You're invincible!
Ji Feng was stunned!
That's why I got bored of your Genshin Impact so quickly. Being too invincible actually makes it rather dull. You have to travel through Teyvat step by step to find meaning in the journey.
Nahida responded through her inner voice in his mind.
Badass! But what's the point of a hack like that? Can you give me infinite Primogems?
Of course. That's very simple.
Nahida's voice radiated composure and confidence.
The next moment, Ji Feng watched his Primogem count skyrocket, quickly reaching 999999!
Lady Dendro Archon! I believe in you!
Now he sincerely believed in Nahida! From this day forward, of the Seven, Nahida alone was the one true god. The others were all roadside nobodies! Since when did any random cat or dog dare call themselves a god?
He was ecstatic! He immediately switched to the wish banner and repeatedly pressed the wish button!
Wait! Why isn't this button doing anything?
I only changed the number for you. You haven't fulfilled anyone's wishes, so where would the resources for wishing come from? The actual Primogem count inside this Genshin Impact martial soul is zero. I can't conjure something out of nothing.
Nahida spoke as though it were perfectly obvious.
So after all that, you were just messing with me! What's the point if you can only change the number?
Doesn't that still count as hacking? Nahida asked in return.
...Fine! I guess the Dendro Archon isn't all that after all. That fits your performance in the story as the God of Great Wisdom.
Ji Feng was speechless.
Actually, I've been researching how to change your random wishes into targeted character selection lately. It's entirely possible!
Seeing Ji Feng's spirits sink, Nahida dangled another piece of bait.
Seriously?! Lady Dendro Archon! I believe in you! As expected of the God of Wisdom, you really are the genuine article!
Ji Feng immediately changed his tune for the second time!
Nahida seized the opportunity to state her terms.
Then I'll help you hack the wishing system, and from now on, you'll let me act freely in this form. How does that sound? You could use my body to do the research yourself, but I'm sure you've noticed how inefficient that is. It also gets in the way of your actual work in the real world.
Hmm...fine! But if I ask you to help research other things, you can't refuse either!
Ji Feng was quickly persuaded.
After reaching a simple agreement with Nahida, Ji Feng returned her body to her. Following a brief discussion with Ah Yin, they decided to head to the nearby Azure Mist Ancient Forest.
Ah Yin eagerly offered to help prepare supplies, then went out to buy jerky, tents, and other consumables and equipment. Only Ji Feng, Nahida, and Sangonomiya Kokomi remained in the shop.
The Azure Mist Ancient Forest was a wild soul hunting area near this town, shrouded in mist year-round. It was primarily a gathering place for wind-type, plant-type, and mental-type soul beasts. Ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts inhabited its outskirts, while thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts occupied its depths.
The Azure Mist Ancient Forest covered an enormous area, making soul beasts relatively difficult to encounter. Moreover, both the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year beasts lived deep within it, so it was easy to chase a thousand-year soul beast only to run into a ten-thousand-year soul beast along the way.
Local soul hunting teams rarely ventured deep inside, partly because it was easy to get lost, and partly because it was too dangerous.
Since Ah Yin is here, there's probably a Blue Silver Forest near the Azure Mist Ancient Forest, right? Coming alone into the human world, Ah Yin would naturally choose somewhere relatively close to home.
Little Kokomi's voice suddenly sounded in Ji Feng's heart. Cautious by nature, she still preferred communicating mentally.
What are you getting at?
Ji Feng found it a little strange. Even if the Blue Silver Forest was nearby, what difference would that make?
With Nahida here, perhaps we could try persuading Ah Yin to sacrifice herself directly, then revive her in the Blue Silver Forest. That would make my lord's first soul ring a hundred-thousand-year one.
Kokomi offered the suggestion in a calm tone.
Sangonomiya Kokomi had used the strength of Watatsumi Island alone to contend against all of Inazuma's Shogunate Army. Naturally, she was no softhearted soul, and her tone now was as still as water.
No! Ah Yin is my believer! You're not allowed to covet her soul ring!
Before Ji Feng could speak, Nahida objected first.
Ah Yin had already been so friendly to them, yet they were scheming for her soul ring. Nahida simply could not accept such a thing!
In Nahida's mind, her opinion of Sangonomiya Kokomi plummeted. She was nothing but a ruthless schemer!
No! Hurting a beautiful girl! I can't do that!
Ji Feng voiced his objection too. This was purely a case of his little head controlling his big head.
Little Kokomi is so wicked! How could you casually hurt someone so gentle and kind? Of course, I think gentle, kind gods shouldn't be hurt either.
Nahida's words carried a pointed implication.
I was only suggesting a possibility! Please don't imagine me as some great villain or ruthless schemer! As a strategist, I have to consider every plan that could improve our chances of victory! I like Ah Yin very much too!
Kokomi clarified.
I'm not so sure about that!
Exactly!
Nahida and Ji Feng chimed in one after the other, clearly both expressing their doubts.
You two! Hmph!
She had kindly offered a plan to obtain a hundred-thousand-year first soul ring, only to be treated like this!
In the real world, Sangonomiya Kokomi snapped her folding fan shut and sulkily ran off to one side, putting plenty of distance between herself and the other two. She could no longer be bothered with them!
Nahida rose onto her little tiptoes to examine the herbs sold in Ah Yin's pharmacy, while Ji Feng sat cross-legged. On the surface, he was cultivating; in reality, he was playing the hacked Genshin Impact in his head.
Genshin Impact, launch!
Ah Yin soon returned laden with bags. Looking at the three people in the shop, she smiled softly and said in a gentle tone, as though coaxing children, "I still need to prepare some powder to repel soul beasts. You can play here for now!"
"If you have a storage item, you can put these things inside."
Leaving them with those words, Ah Yin walked gracefully into the rear courtyard.
"Ah Yin, don't you have a storage item?" Ji Feng hurriedly asked.
Ah Yin shook her head regretfully, indicating that she did not.
"Given Ah Yin's identity, it isn't exactly convenient for her. It's perfectly normal that she doesn't have one," Sangonomiya Kokomi said, crouching beside the large pile of supplies on the floor and carefully inspecting them.
"We're doomed! Don't tell me we have to carry all this stuff on our backs to go soul hunting! That's way too primitive!" As an ordinary person who had only just become a soul master, Ji Feng naturally had no such storage equipment either. He really should have squeezed one out of that young master back then!
"My lord, I have a plan!" Kokomi said at just the right moment.
Kokomi said nothing more, and Ji Feng asked no questions. Together, they silently turned their gazes toward Nahida.
They simply stared at this little girl known as the God of Wisdom.
"Do you really take me for an all-purpose wish-granting machine?! For something like a storage item, you should go to the Liyue Adepti. It involves the laws of space, not something you can just casually make. It's not that I couldn't research it, but the problem is, you don't have any materials for me!"
Nahida puffed out her cheeks and spoke indignantly.
"God of Wisdom, can you make yourself useful for something besides messing with me?! Ever since you were summoned, you've been busy opposing me. First soul clones, then hacking Genshin Impact, but not a single practical thing!"
"Perhaps it isn't that she has nothing. She simply wants to hold my lord by the throat with her technical expertise," Sangonomiya Kokomi said, fanning the flames.
"You two! All right, I get it! I'll figure out a way to make you one! You're being awful! You don't show even the most basic respect for a god!" Nahida's little face flushed bright red as she strode toward the rear courtyard.
"I want one too!" Sangonomiya Kokomi took the opportunity to add.
"Ugh! I know! You sneaky, scheming little Kokomi!"
