Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [513]

"Ding~! Congratulations, you've obtained a rare weapon."

After Alice’s message ended, everyone remained on the island, enjoying the scenery. Bored, Gu Sanqiu started narrating for himself, just for fun.

Each of them had received a limited edition, collector’s copy of Dodo-King’s Story Collection. Considering Alice’s whimsical nature, she had probably only printed a handful of these, making them not just limited but likely out of print forever.

Unfortunately, it was just a simple storybook—nothing like a powerful artifact. If they wanted it to function like one, they’d have to refine it themselves.

Still, the concept was the same. After all, those skilled in using catalysts often had exceptional mental fortitude.

The saying went: "A focused mind can shatter even the hardest stone" (cross that out).

Every treasured experience in life, when brought together, could make a person even stronger.

"Mhm, sounds like a perfect explanation~."

Gu Sanqiu wandered over to the crafting table, picking up the bomb-making blueprints Alice had left behind and carefully studied them.

To his eyes, these weren’t just blueprints. They were golden treasures, shining with brilliance!

This was the kind of god-tier loot that even professional gamblers would spend a lifetime trying—and failing—to obtain.

To put it bluntly, these were legacy-level explosives from the Golden Age of Old Mondstadt, created by none other than the legendary Alice. In terms of sheer destructive power, they probably outclassed even Grandpa Diluc’s strongest attacks (cross that out again).

If Klee’s bombs could be considered "for the merry band of rogues", then Alice’s blueprints were "absolute mission completion, no survivors."

Among the listed ingredients, most were standard, but some ratios were so extreme that even Gu Sanqiu felt dizzy reading them.

This wasn’t just a hobby of a powerful individual—it was the transformation of a simple interest into a force of mass destruction.

Gu Sanqiu knew better than to mindlessly chase after power and lose himself in the process.

Ah, whatever. Just throw this into the research vault. With enough brains working on it, someone will figure it out eventually.

That way, there’d be no need for Ningguang’s Heavenly Jade Chamber ult anymore. Just mass-produce some of these bombs and use the floating palace as a strategic bomber instead. Wouldn’t that be even better?

Nearby, Barbara and Jean had changed into swimsuits, lounging under the sun with drinks in hand.

Seeing a tireless healer and a constantly overworked acting Grandmaster actually relaxing—and in swimsuits, no less—was nothing short of a miracle.

As for whether Gu Sanqiu planned to appreciate the scene up close? No thanks.

But if he had the chance, he’d gladly let Klee drag Barbara away—then kick Diluc over there to spend some quality time with Jean.

Guaranteed that Kaeya would fully support this plan. He might even orchestrate an "accidental" push to make things progress faster.

"What a pity. Those two barely interact right now."

Still, there was potential. Now that Klee had practically claimed Angel’s Share as her personal rest stop, she and that grumpy bartender would undoubtedly talk more—which meant Jean’s name would come up often.

And when Klee returned home, she’d excitedly tell Jean all about Diluc.

Boom. Indirect bonding achieved.

Ah, do people not understand the concept of "love grows over time"?!

If the veteran staff at Dawn Winery ever caught wind of this plan, they’d probably be so moved they’d cry tears of joy. They might even start worshipping Klee as their savior.

The Spark Knight—our matchmaking messiah!

He chuckled to himself.

Maybe it was the influence of his Law of Emotion, but Gu Sanqiu occasionally found himself with a random obsession with matchmaking.

High EQ: "A gentlemanly matchmaker, spreading love and happiness."

Low EQ: "A nosy old auntie meddling in everyone’s business."

"What’s so ‘pity’ about it?"

Albedo walked over, picking up Alice’s bomb blueprints for a quick glance. His brows immediately twitched.

"Tell me Klee hasn’t seen this yet."

"Nope. Jean gave her free time, so she dragged Itto off to go fishing. Well, ‘fishing’ isn’t quite the right word—more like ‘blowing up fish.’"

That’s right. Klee was using bombs, while Itto was whacking fish with his Redhorn Stonethresher like a club.

Apparently, they even set up a competition.

That poor legendary claymore—if it had a spirit, it would probably flat-out refuse to be used like this. This was an insult to its reputation!

As for the outcome of the contest?

Gu Sanqiu wasn’t even curious.

Of course Itto would lose.

He had never once won in these kinds of battles.

…Well, except that one time Yoimiya witnessed his rare victory.

"Good. Let’s keep it that way."

Albedo let out a relieved sigh. "Don’t show these blueprints to Klee. She’s still too young to handle something this powerful."

The thought of Klee learning from these designs—or worse, improving upon them—was too terrifying to even imagine.

The bright red "⚠ DANGER ⚠" sign was already flickering atop Mondstadt’s city walls… with a potential upgrade to "☠ DEATH ☠."

At least Alice’s experiments took place out in the wild.

Klee, on the other hand, played within city limits.

Albedo couldn't afford to pay that level of damage control.

Even with his long lifespan, he’d probably spend the rest of eternity working to pay off Mondstadt’s repair fees.

"Bomb-making, huh? Yeah, this is something we should handle carefully."

Albedo nodded in agreement. "Though after this trip, Klee has made more friends her age in Mondstadt. Hopefully, she’ll have less time to play with explosives."

Before, 80% of his mental energy went into dealing with Klee's "masterpieces."

Now? Maybe just 50%.

"That’s progress."

"I want to prepare a gift for Lord Itto. What do you think I should give him?"

Gu Sanqiu blinked. "A gift? You’re thanking him for playing with Klee?"

"Precisely. You’ve known him longer, so I thought you might have good suggestions."

"Just get him something fun—ideally a limited edition toy or novel. He’d love that."

Gu Sanqiu smirked. "Or better yet, put together a Mondstadt Toy Mega Pack. I guarantee he’d worship you for it."

"No. That seems too… cheap."

Albedo pondered. "Being able to free up 30% of my workload holds far more value than a few toys."

A thoughtful gift should match the importance of the favor received.

"Oh, that’s easy."

Gu Sanqiu’s eyes lit up. "Do you have Inazuma’s agricultural and climate data? If not, ask him for it. Then, custom-develop a batch of high-yield, weather-resistant crop seeds for him."

"Agriculture in Inazuma has been struggling lately. Plus, his gang’s boss just got publicly ‘disciplined’ by the Shogunate. If he brings back a breakthrough in farming, it’d be a massive help."

Forget everything else—just that massive empty plain near Yashiori Island still being left as ruins was a crime against Liyuean logic.

Such fertile land, and no one’s farming on it?!
