Chapter 27: Go Activate Your New Ability
Jiang Chen used to come across videos of overseas Chinese returning home and indulging in a feast.
Now, Jiang Chen felt a similar sentiment.
Even though only a few days had passed since his transmigration,
It felt like an eternity to him.
Once the dishes were served, Paimon started eating voraciously.
"Delicious!"
"Wow, Liyue's cuisine is this good?"
"It's even better than Mondstadt's."
"This is amazing."
"I'm going to have a feast from now on!!"
After just one bite, Paimon fell in love with Liyue's culinary style.
For Paimon, this flavor was simply incredible.
Jiang Chen and Lumine didn't say a word.
They quietly focused on eating.
Having spent some time with Paimon, both of them knew her personality well.
If they didn't eat now,
They might not get a chance later.
They'd have to order more dishes.
After all, if you weren't careful, Paimon would devour everything.
She wouldn't leave a single scrap.
With Paimon around, they didn't have to worry about food waste—instead, they had to worry about not having enough food.
There was no helping it; Paimon was just too much of a glutton.
After the two of them finished eating, Paimon polished off the remaining dishes.
Once dinner was over and the bill was settled, Jiang Chen and Lumine went outside to enjoy the scenery.
They sat on the terrace, ordered a pot of tea, and quietly admired the night view.
"Tomorrow, we'll head to the Statue of The Seven."
Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the statue standing in Guili Plains.
Tomorrow, Lumine would acquire a new element.
And Jiang Chen would also conduct an experiment to see if he could gain a new ability.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Lumine blinked.
"System check-in?"
...
Lumine still believed that Jiang Chen had a system.
But Jiang Chen was speechless upon hearing this.
"Erm..."
"Not a system, but a cheat ability."
"Maybe I'll gain some new power?"
"You might also acquire Geo, right?"
"Since you gained Anemo by touching the Anemo Archon's statue,"
"Then touching the Geo Archon's statue might grant you a new element."
Jiang Chen shrugged.
What he meant was that his ability was similar to Lumine's.
Except that she gained elemental powers, while he gained Heroic Spirit abilities.
"That's true."
"I hope you can obtain the Spirit Origin of a certain Golden King."
As she said this, Lumine's eyes sparkled. If Jiang Chen really obtained the Spirit Origin of Gilgamesh, they'd never lack money again.
They could even use money to crush their enemies.
After all, Gilgamesh's abilities were simply amazing.
With the Golden Rule, Jiang Chen could lie on a rock and still find money.
Even that rock might turn out to be gold.
That was the power of the Golden Rule.
Lumine really wanted it.
But it was fine if Jiang Chen had it instead.
In fact, with Gilgamesh's Spirit Origin, Lumine would no longer lack weapons.
Wouldn't it be great to just use Noble Phantasms?
So Lumine hoped even more than Jiang Chen that he would obtain a good Spirit Origin.
Hearing Lumine's words, Jiang Chen was speechless.
"You're really daring."
"Gilgamesh's Spirit Origin... tsk!"
"That's difficult."
"If I really obtained it, I'd be set for life."
Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms included various functional treasures.
With those, it would be an absolute massacre.
Especially Vimana.
That flying chariot of light was simply incredible.
If he had that, Jiang Chen could go anywhere he wanted.
But Jiang Chen didn't expect too much.
It wasn't up to him to decide what he got.
After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, after having breakfast, Jiang Chen and the others set off for the Statue of The Seven.
In the morning, Dihua Marsh was bustling with merchant caravans.
There were quite a few people walking along the official road to Liyue.
In fact, Jiang Chen and the others even saw some Millelith patrolling the area.
It could only be said that Liyue's business environment was truly excellent.
Even in such places, the Millelith were there to ensure safety.
After leaving the Stone Gate, Jiang Chen and the others soon entered Dihua Marsh.
After walking for a while, Jiang Chen glanced toward the direction of Qingce Village.
There was a sinister-looking mountain over there.
That was Wuwang Hill.
If they went there now, they might even run into Hu Tao?
Hah!
Jiang Chen retracted his gaze and continued forward.
There was a Statue of The Seven in Dihua Marsh, and it was located near the road.
So Jiang Chen and the others just needed to follow the path.
They would soon reach the statue.
After walking for about an hour, they finally arrived near the statue.
From a distance, Jiang Chen could already see the statue.
Seeing the statue, Jiang Chen led Lumine straight toward it.
Dihua Marsh had very few Hilichurls.
Only a few Slimes could be seen.
The Hilichurls had probably been wiped out by a certain 1.5-meter-tall adeptus while she was farming, right?
Approaching the statue, Jiang Chen looked at Lumine.
"You go first!"
"Let's see if you can acquire Geo."
Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry.
He planned to let Lumine acquire Geo first.
Hearing this, Lumine nodded.
She didn't refuse.
Instead, she stepped forward and reached out to touch the statue.
In the next moment, the statue began to glow.
Then, Geo energy started gathering within Lumine's body.
Once the statue's light faded, Lumine found that she could now control Geo.
Feeling the Geo energy within her, Lumine was delighted.
"Success!"
Now, Lumine had mastered two elements.
Her power had further awakened.
This was very satisfying.
Once she traveled through all seven nations, wouldn't she gather all seven elements?
Thinking of this, Lumine was overjoyed.
"Mm, congratulations!"
"Now, it's my turn."
As he said this, Jiang Chen stepped forward and reached out to touch the statue.
Under Lumine and Paimon's watchful eyes,
The statue didn't glow...
Huh?
Seeing this, Lumine was puzzled.
Why wasn't it glowing?
So Jiang Chen really had a system, right?
Thinking this, Lumine carefully observed Jiang Chen.
She wanted to see what power Jiang Chen would gain next!!
Meanwhile, in Jiang Chen's vision, the status panel he had obtained upon transmigrating to this world reappeared.
'Data loading...'
'Acquired: Hall of Heroes.'
And that was it.
At this moment, Jiang Chen felt as if he had established a connection with something.
Moreover, he could now access that place?
It was like his own private space.
A teapot realm?
Something like that.
However, Jiang Chen's Hall of Heroes had additional functions.
Various pieces of information began flooding into Jiang Chen's mind.
This allowed him to gradually understand the capabilities of the Hall of Heroes.
Once he fully grasped these abilities, Jiang Chen's expression turned strange.
