Jiang Xiaofeng feels very bad right now.

I just got three gold items in a single ten-pull and was excitedly shouting when I was suddenly transported to another world. Who wouldn't be angry?

The key question is, even if I've already transmigrated, what kind of cheat code is this?

Jiang Xiaofeng controlled his seaweed-shaped head to crawl out, not knowing what to do.

"This must be the Chasm."

The seaweed ball crawled slowly, observing the surrounding Treasure Hoarders, desperately trying to minimize its presence.

"Don't look at me... don't look at me..."

Finally, the moss ball climbed from the main mining area to the upper space.

There are still just as many Treasure Hoarders stealing minerals here.

"What should I do...?"

Jiang Xiaofeng tried to squeeze into a crevice to escape, but he couldn't.

Jiang Xiaofeng tried to reproduce and slowly climb up the wall, but he couldn't.

Jiang Xiaofeng even considered shrinking into the water to see if he could grow.

But it still didn't work.

No matter what Jiang Xiaofeng did, the clump of seaweed didn't change at all.

It's like Jiang Xiaofeng didn't find the right way to activate his power.

"The only good news right now is that I'm not hungry or tired..."

"Help! Lumine, come save me!"

The moss ball crawled aimlessly beneath the pulley lift at the top of the Chasm mine, trying to wait for someone to come down from above.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

One week.

How much time has passed now?

Because Jiang Xiaofeng made a concerted effort to minimize his presence, this peculiar ball of moss went completely unnoticed by anyone.

The Treasure Hoarders would steal the ore secretly every day and transport it out, passing through the crevice where Jiang Xiaofeng was hiding dozens of times a day.

But none of them saw Jiang Xiaofeng. Even if they did, they would just mistake him for a clump of normally growing moss, which is not uncommon in the mining area.

Otherwise, given their personalities, they would have insisted on taking Jiang Xiaofeng ashore to investigate what this thing was.

Just as Jiang Xiaofeng regained some consciousness, and then began to drift off to sleep...

"Fatty, give me the kettle."

Several Treasure Hoarders, carrying cloth bags on their shoulders, made a leisurely progress along the route they had taken to transport the ore. One of the burly men, parched with exhaustion, reached out to his companion for a water bottle.

I've finished all my water.

The fat man put down the bag, panting heavily.

"We're almost finished drinking too..."

His companions chimed in with their comments.

"What do we do? We're still at least halfway there. Are we going to die of thirst?"

"I wouldn't die of thirst... but look at that."

The fat man pulled the burly man next to him into his arms.

"Have you ever seen moss? It grows in dark, damp places. Where moss grows, there must be water!"

"Don't you believe me? Go and dig it out, you'll definitely find water flowing out!"

What is that?

Jiang Xiaofeng was awakened by the violent tremors.

"Who arrested me?"

Why is this moss so sticky?

"Wait a minute? What is this thing?!"

" Tieniu! Get rid of this thing!"

Jiang Xiaofeng instantly perked up.

"What happened? Never mind, let's see what I'm going to do!"

Soon, Tieniu collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

" Tieniu? Are you alright?"

The fat man stretched out his carrying pole and poked Tie Tieniu's body.

"Finally... I have a body!"

"Hmm? Impaler? Assault Shield? Throwing knife?"

"What kind of weapons are these? I've never seen them before!"

The Treasure Hoarders watched as black flames erupted from the headless corpse that had stood up, quickly transforming it into a classic the Beheaded body.

"You're not Tieniu! What kind of monster are you?!"

A pharmacist threw a bottle of essential oil at Jiang Xiaofeng, but Jiang Xiaofeng, who was still examining the weapon in his hand, threw a throwing knife and shattered it.

"Huh? My body started moving on its own?"

Jiang Xiaofeng saw the Treasure Hoarders who were about to attack him. He wanted to say hello, but his body once again disobeyed him and he rushed towards the Treasure Hoarders!

"It's over! We're doomed!"

Jiang Xiaofeng subconsciously closed his eyes, letting his body move as it pleased.

When the screams in his head completely disappeared, Jiang Xiaofeng opened his eyes, but what he saw terrified Jiang Xiaofeng.

The bodies of the four Treasure Hoarders were completely mangled, torn to shreds.

Blood splattered on the body, and a broken arm lay scattered on a cloth bag nearby.

One of the severed hands was still clutching the cloth bag tightly, trying to escape with it...

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaofeng was so disgusted he almost vomited.

Once the feeling started, he couldn't help himself, and Jiang Xiaofeng immediately grabbed the rock for support... wait!

Jiang Xiaofeng touched his mouth... He had no mouth!

Ears... there aren't any ears!

It has no eyes, no nose, and nothing at all!

Jiang Xiaofeng was so angry he wanted to curse, but he could only think what he wanted to say and couldn't utter a sound...

Three days later, Jiang Xiaofeng emerged from the secret passage of the Treasure Hoarders, his eyes lifeless.

"Who are you... ah!"

Several Treasure Hoarders were instantly struck through the neck by throwing knives and collapsed helplessly.

"This is definitely not me... Who is controlling this body...?"

With the hostility gone, Jiang Xiaofeng regained control of the body.

"Where should I go...?"

" Liyue... Mondstadt... Yes, let's go to Liyue."

" Morax, he'll definitely be able to solve my problem, he definitely will!"

Jiang Xiaofeng staggered out, and along the way, he killed any living creatures that tried to attack him, driven by his body's instincts.

"Cocoon... what is that...?"

" Velocity? Is that a physical skill? Ah... that's irrelevant to me..."

" Corrupted Power... I'm really going insane..."

" Acceptance? What kind of cheat code is that? Wait..."

"Is this a cheat code or a curse?!"

Jiang Xiaofeng's vision was completely filled with blood, and he cried out helplessly in his heart.

Three days later.

Jiang Xiaofeng's consciousness took over his body.

"It's all blood... Oh well, never mind."

Jiang Xiaofeng stared blankly at Liyue Harbor below, then jumped down.

"Who are you... ah!"

Along the way, the patrolling Millelith they encountered tried to question this strange, blood-covered humanoid creature, but were killed by throwing knives propelled by Jiang Xiaofeng's body, turning into cells...

" Wings of the Crow? What's that?"

" Heart of Ice... I have become a bit cold-blooded now."

" Sonic Carbine? Isn't that still a crossbow?"

Jiang Xiaofeng staggered and ran towards Liyue Harbor.

" Keqing! Something terrible has happened! There's been a murder outside Liyue Harbor!"

Keqing, who was strolling on the street—no, I mean, on patrol—was summoned away by the Millelith...

"Ah! Keqing! My wife!"

Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Keqing, forcibly stopping his fighting, and bowed to Keqing: "Greetings, Yuheng!"

Keqing: "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in Liyue Harbor!"

As she spoke, Keqing surveyed the dead bodies of the Millelith, who were impaled by strange spears, and anger gradually ignited in her eyes.

"Monster! Take this!"

"No!"

Jiang Xiaofeng only had time to shout one last sentence to Keqing before his eyes were blinded by boundless purple light...

When Jiang Xiaofeng regained his sight, there was no one alive in front of him anymore.

A pair of beautiful legs in black stockings lay sprawled in front of Jiang Xiaofeng, seemingly mocking Jiang Xiaofeng incompetence.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Jiang Xiaofeng dropped the spear in his hand, knelt on the ground, and screamed in anguish.

However, no one could hear any of this...

Suddenly, a large purple shield appeared in Jiang Xiaofeng's hand and was quickly held up in front of him.

An ice-blue arrow exploded instantly on the shield's surface, deflecting Jiang Xiaofeng's block!

"Attack!"

A group of Millelith began to draw their bows and fire arrows.

Jiang Xiaofeng was still in pain, but his body moved first.

The Acceptance, the Assault Shield, appeared in Jiang Xiaofeng's hands.

Ganyu looked at the golden four-pointed star, and her heart trembled for no apparent reason...
