The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [371]

Jia, a certain bankrupt individual from the Lantern Rite Festival, met out-of-town travelers Lumine and Paimon in Mondstadt. After the festival ended, Jia invited them to Liyue to have a meal at Chihu Rock.

During their meal, Lumine sighed about how many wealthy people resided in the city. Jia immediately suggested, “Why don’t we go out and make some money?” to which Lumine readily agreed.

The three of them returned to their temporary lodging to prepare the necessary tools.

According to reports from the patrolling Millelith, just three days after the Lantern Rite ended, their alchemical jewelry stall was already set up.

Insiders revealed that Jia, Lumine, and company had received a special business permit issued directly by a secretary of the Liyue Qixing. Furthermore, both Jia and Lumine seemed to have private connections with Liyue’s elites...

At dawn on the fourth day after the Lantern Rite, a group of well-built Millelith soldiers with sharp gazes approached their stall. They purchased some of Jia’s pearls and treated both Jia and Lumine with great respect, raising suspicions that they had some official backing.

By the evening of the fourth day, a mysterious purple-haired girl and a white-haired woman wearing masks appeared, purchasing some of Lumine’s potions and Jia’s pearls.

On the fifth night, the Feiyun Commerce Guild struck a deal with Jia and Lumine, agreeing to sell their potions and jewelry in bulk. Additionally, they negotiated a supply agreement in which the guild would provide some of the raw materials needed for production.

As for Jia Changjiang…

Even though his injuries hadn’t fully healed, he was still sitting in a chair wrapped up like a zongzi. But at least, after going bankrupt from buying medicine and seeking treatment during the Lantern Rite, he had finally earned it all back by selling pearls…

Though Jia Changjiang wasn’t too concerned about money, there was still an undeniable truth in life: “A hero can still be stumped by a single coin.”

That was true no matter what world you were in.

Money wasn’t the most important thing—but having no money was a serious problem.

“So, Greenie, are you really going on an adventure like this?”

Lumine glanced at Jia Changjiang, now seated in a wooden wheelchair. “Even though Bubu Pharmacy said you should recover soon, it still looks like you won’t be able to go adventuring for a few days.”

“Damn it!”

Jia Changjiang was indignant.

Sure, the battle against those Abyss-tainted monsters that night had been exhilarating, but after being stuck motionless for days, he was about ready to lose his mind.

That said… his injuries had healed quite a bit.

Though he still had to sit in a wheelchair, the worst of his wounds had mostly recovered.

Jia Changjiang wasn’t sure if it was due to Baizhu’s exceptional medical skills or if his body had simply developed a higher recovery rate after enhancing his physical attributes.

But one thing was certain—he wasn’t about to skip out on an adventure.

Not in this lifetime.

Running a business? Boring. Fighting and adventuring—that’s what made life worth living!

Making friends through battle, meeting skilled fighters—Jia Changjiang loved every second of it.

“Don’t underestimate me, Lumine.”

Jia Changjiang pushed his wheelchair forward. “So what if I’m still injured?”

“I can still go on an adventure—even in a wheelchair!”

“…And just how do you plan to adventure while pushing a wheelchair?”

Lumine stared at him. “Do you even know where we’re going this time? Though, now that I think about it, you actually look pretty suited for this adventure…”

She gave him a once-over, taking in his mummy-like, fully-bandaged appearance before nodding. “Mhm. When we get there, we can just bury you directly into the ground.”

“Traveler, we’re just going on a little adventure to Wuwang Hill. No need to make it sound like Mr. Jax is already dead…” Paimon muttered from the side.

“Wuwang… Hill?”

Jia Changjiang blinked. “Isn’t that Liyue’s famous burial site? What are you two even going there for?”

“Adventure, obviously! Besides, I heard there’ve been ghost sightings recently, so we’re going to check it out.” Lumine declared confidently. “Jia Changjiang, you do know we’re friends with Dusky Ming, right? I even brought her a lantern during the Lantern Rite.”

“…So you’re intentionally looking for ghosts?”

Jia Changjiang rubbed his chin in thought before suddenly asking, “Lumine, if a ghost attacks me, and I don’t use any external weapons, does that mean I wouldn’t even be able to hit it?”

“Ghosts are supposed to be immune to physical attacks, right?”

“How should I know? It’s not like I rely on physical attacks!” Lumine said righteously. “I can use both Anemo and Geo smoothly now. Once we get to Inazuma, I might even be able to use Electro…”

“At that point, with three elements at my disposal, I’ll definitely be stronger than you.”

Lumine sounded completely assured of this fact.

Jia Changjiang thought for a moment before replying, “Lumine, haven’t you noticed? Even if you do get the Electro element, your three elements won’t actually react with each other.”

“That’s none of your business! I’ll still be stronger than you!”

And so, bickering all the way, Lumine, Jia Changjiang, and Paimon headed toward Wuwang Hill, ready for their next adventure.

...

Jia Changjiang sat in his wooden wheelchair as they arrived at Wuwang Hill. Almost immediately, the atmosphere around them changed.

Even though it was bright and sunny outside, as soon as they stepped into Wuwang Hill, it was as if night had fallen. The sun was nowhere to be seen, and the only sources of illumination were clusters of eerie blue flames floating in the air.

“…This place is really creepy,” Paimon muttered, gripping Lumine’s sleeve with her tiny hands. “It kinda reminds me of the time we went to that place with the nine giant stone pillars…”

“I heard there’s a sealed Archon near Qingce Village,” Jia Changjiang mused, picking up where Paimon left off. “Maybe Wuwang Hill is also affected by an Archon’s power.”

“If you’re scared, Paimon, just say so.”

Lumine’s voice was unusually gentle.

“Traveler…” Paimon looked at her, touched by the concern—

Only for Lumine to continue, “Because saying it out loud will make you even more scared.”

Paimon: “???”

“Traveler, why would you scare me like that?!”

“I don’t think there’s anything to be afraid of, really.”

Jia Changjiang, still in his wheelchair, reassured Paimon. “If you think about it, horror stories are scary because of ghosts, right?”

“And where do ghosts come from? Dead people. But if we already know that ghosts are just dead people, then what’s there to worry about?”

Jia Changjiang gave Paimon a thumbs-up. “If ghosts kill people, then the people just become ghosts too. And then I’ll just fight the ghosts as a ghost myself—simple as that!”

“…That kinda makes sense—wait, NO IT DOESN’T!”

Paimon nearly got convinced before snapping out of it. “That still means people die first!!”
