Teyvat Survival Guide

Chapter 49: Wind Slime that Understands Knowledge

After Samuel and the other two Paimon travelers said goodbye to their acquaintances at the camp at the foot of the mountain, Kong glanced at the map and set off towards Mondstadt.

Not long after walking away, Samuel heard Paimon start yelling:

"I don't know if there's any place with active earth vein energy nearby... I'm almost too tired to fly!"

The little slime looked confused after hearing this. Not to mention how Paimon managed to fly, there has never been an explanation for this in the game.

Why do you feel tired when flying?

For the wind slime, flying will consume wind elemental power, so it will only feel the wind elemental power gradually dissipating and it just needs to replenish it.

And... a place with active ley lines? Why are we looking for that?

"The ley lines are changing all the time. They were here last time, but they may not be here today." Kong walked around a big tree and put down his luggage. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the white-haired boy behind him. "...Besides, Samuel is still here. He doesn't know the coordinates of the anchor point."

Samuel was shocked.

...Anchor point? Is there really a teleportation anchor point? !

As if sensing his confusion, Paimon felt that he needed to patiently explain to this ignorant slime:

“In places where ley line energy is active, you can communicate with the ley lines, enter the ley lines, and be transported to another location through the ley lines.

"There are three key points to teleportation: First, knowing the target location. Although the ley lines are changing all the time, there are always some places that are relatively stable. These places are called teleportation anchor points.

"Secondly, you can manipulate certain elemental forces. Using elemental forces can better communicate with the earth veins.

"Third, you must maintain your own identity and not be disturbed by the things in the earth veins. Otherwise, you may get lost in the earth veins!"

Samuel nodded thoughtfully.

So, the "teleportation anchor point" is actually a concept. It does not exist. It just refers to the place where the flow of earth veins is stable?

The game has done a concrete processing, making the anchor point concrete, so that it is convenient for players to open it?

"What if I'm wearing clothes or carrying something as I cross the earth veins?" Samuel asked in confusion, remembering that he would automatically take off his clothes when he transformed.

I don't know if I'll be teleported out of the earth and all my clothes will be gone...

"Remember your belongings in the ley lines so you don't lose them."

"Sister Paimon knows a lot..."

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said, "Hehe, I am the best guide in Teyvat!"

Then she sighed helplessly: "…It would be great if I could teleport anywhere I want."

Sora shook his head quietly.

He and Ying could do it before, but now...

Without thinking any further, he picked up his luggage and continued walking.

After walking out of the snow mountain border with a large pile of luggage on their backs, the sun was not far from setting, so Kong set up a tent and said he wanted to take a rest. He and Paimon skillfully took off their warm clothes and put on regular clothes.

Samuel saw the familiar belly-baring outfit from the game in the package that he opened when Kong was changing clothes.

While Sora was struggling to decide which piece of clothing to wear, Samuel stared at the belly-baring outfit.

The blond boy noticed his gaze, followed his gaze, and raised an eyebrow.

Those were the clothes he and his sister wore when they traveled in the previous world. Ying thought they looked nice and let him keep them.

After arriving in Mondstadt, I lost my strength and my clothes needed to be changed and washed frequently, so gradually this piece of clothing with complicated accessories was eliminated.

But Kong thought it had commemorative significance, so he threw it into the package.

Samuel, do you think this looks good?

Sora looked at the clothes and considered it.

Maybe it’s nice to wear it occasionally?

So, under the shocked gaze of Samuel's small eyes, he picked up the clothes that he had not worn for a long time and went into the tent to change.

When he came out again, what Samuel saw was the same Traveler Kong as in the game.

Samuel stared at Sora, stunned.

Very nice looking, I like it very much.

…but I always feel like something is missing.

He had thought he would be far more excited to see Sora put on that outfit again.

"Eh? Isn't this the clothes you were wearing when we first met?" Paimon, who had just changed his clothes, asked in confusion, "Didn't you say it was hard to wash? Why are you wearing it again?"

"It's nice to wear it occasionally." Kong said with a smile, then looked at the white-haired boy with dazed eyes and pointed at his scarf.

Samuel came to his senses and nodded, then obediently took off his scarf, thick coat and sweater, leaving only a white shirt, flannel pants and cotton shoes.

Kong saw that his outfit was totally not for the right season and slapped his forehead.

“…I forgot to buy you regular clothes.”

……

In the end, Samuel put on the clothes given to him by Teacher Albedo.

In fact, little Slime thinks this is quite comfortable, just like covering yourself with a quilt in an air-conditioned room in the summer.

Anyway, I’m not particularly afraid of cold or heat now, and the perceived temperature can be completely changed by using the power of wind element.

Thinking of this, the white-haired boy slashed out another wind blade, leaving a shallow mark on the rock on the lawn.

"Xiaofeng - come and eat!" Paimon shouted loudly beside the pitched tent.

"Coming!"

Samuel ran back to the camp with his short legs and saw a bonfire with a boiler hanging above it.

Kong used the element of wind to control the heat, seemingly stewing something.

When Paimon saw him running over, he suddenly remembered something and flew over to Sora who was cooking and whispered:

"I forgot just now, Traveler... Slime doesn't seem to need to eat...?"

Sora was stunned for a moment, and also thought about the possibility of the slime eating.

As for the wind slime...it should like the wind element, right?

Samuel walked aside and listened to the content of the wind blowing past his ears. He seemed to be in a good mood.

"I really don't need to eat." He had run to the campfire without knowing when, raised his head and stared at the traveler and Paimon with wide eyes.

"Wow!" Paimon was startled by Samuel's sudden appearance. "When did you come here? No, how did you hear it?!"

"I just came over." Samuel laughed and pointed to his ear, "If you are not very far away from me, there is no point in whispering."

"I can hear the messages the wind brings back," he added, pointing to his ears as Wendy did.

This is what Master Barbatos taught me!

Apparently a certain little slime attributed all the extra knowledge in its head to the God of Wind.

Kong stared at his boastful expression, his azure eyes reflecting the firelight, and became more and more mesmerized the more he looked at him.

By the way...after turning into a human, will it feel any different when pinched than when it's a slime?

He reached out his hand and pinched the white-haired boy's face.

Yesterday's thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, like a slap in the face.

Control the distance and keep "safe"...

So Kong, what were you doing just now?

The blond boy, who was feeling conflicted, saw the boy's beautiful eyes widen slightly, and a faint blush visibly appeared on his fair face.

He realized what he had done and quickly pulled his hand back.

Paimon on the side blinked: "...You two?"

Why is the atmosphere so weird?

"Ahem... you would like the element of wind, right?" Kong awkwardly stretched out his hand to try to find a topic.

Samuel looked at Sora, his eyes wide, and nodded slightly.

Why are you pinching my face suddenly...

…Pinch again?

The little slime looked at Sora, as if trying to find something from his face.

Then Paimon looked left and right, and saw that one of them looked at a loss, and the other was blushing for unknown reasons.

Her eyes gradually became blurred.

There's something wrong with the atmosphere.

Twelve out of ten things are wrong.

…Could it be that these two were secretly plotting something without my knowledge? !

It must have been this morning! They must have sneaked out to do something!

Paimon felt that he had found the truth.

"Hey, you two!" She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Did you do something behind my back?"

Samuel, whose cheeks were slightly hot, blinked when he heard this.

What can we do? I want to do something, but I don't dare...

…It must be because this body is too small now! I have the will but not the strength!

It must be like this, it will be fine when I grow up!

Kong was stunned. Before he could finish thinking about why he suddenly pinched the other person's face, his attention was attracted by the muffled sound coming from the boiler on the campfire next to him.

Take a closer look.

...The wind element was used too much.

The boiler exploded.

"…Traveler! Our food--!!"
