Although Albedo Jr. is considered a failed creation,
his abilities are by no means weak.
As another product of Gold Rhinedottir,
the only difference is that one was personally taught by Rhinedottir, while the other wasn't.
Albedo is in Mondstadt, so Albedo Jr. can come to Liyue.
What Liyue lacks is a top-tier alchemist like him.
Given time, Albedo Jr. can also grow into a formidable figure.
When Keqing heard Jiang Chen say he was going to Dragonspine, she was a bit puzzled.
"To Dragonspine?"
"Be careful, then."
"The environment there is quite harsh, and it's not easy to navigate."
"If you're going there, please be cautious."
Although she didn't understand his reasons, she didn't press for details.
"I understand."
This time, Jiang Chen planned to go alone.
He wouldn't bring Guizhong or Havria.
Besides, going there wouldn't pose any danger to Jiang Chen.
The only concern was that Barbatos might come looking for him.
After all, Jiang Chen had taken all his wine.
If Jiang Chen went to Dragonspine, he might get caught by that guy.
But it didn't matter.
If you dare come to Liyue, I'm now under the Geo Archon's protection.
And as for a mere slacker like Barbatos, Jiang Chen wasn't afraid at all!
"Why are you going to Dragonspine?"
Lumine was also confused.
Why suddenly go to Dragonspine?
Jiang Chen hadn't mentioned this before.
"To find an alchemist."
"If we want to create a network, we'll need an alchemist."
"So, I'm going there to bring back a lost lamb."
Hearing this explanation, Lumine was filled with question marks.
What lost lamb?
Good grief, what do you know this time?
Did the system give you another quest?
After some mental gymnastics, Lumine felt this was highly possible.
"I get it!"
Lumine nodded with sudden understanding.
Seeing Lumine's reaction, Jiang Chen was also filled with question marks.
"What do you get?"
Since when did Lumine become such a know-it-all?
This left Jiang Chen utterly confused.
What was Lumine imagining this time?
"Nothing!"
"You go ahead."
"I'm also planning to go to Liyue Harbor."
Lumine didn't say anything more. The system didn't allow Jiang Chen to explain, and she knew that!
Besides, there were other people here!!
Lumine was super serious!!
Seeing her like this, Jiang Chen's mouth twitched.
How did this girl end up like this? Always imagining all sorts of things out of nowhere.
Aether, your sister has gone bad!!
Hurry up and come check on her!!
"Do you have any questions?"
Lumine looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.
What? Does this guy still have something to say?
"No!"
"Nothing's wrong."
"Then it's settled."
"You, Guizhong, and Havria will go to Liyue Harbor."
"As for the house, we'll set up a barrier to keep outsiders out."
"Guizhong, I'll leave this to you."
"I'll head to Dragonspine."
"I might be back tonight or tomorrow."
"It won't take long."
"Anyway, I'll be back before the Rite of Descension."
Jiang Chen didn't dwell on whether Lumine had gone bad.
He started arranging things for the house.
After all, if everyone left, the house would be empty.
Liyue still had treasure hoarders.
If they didn't take precautions, the house would definitely be ransacked.
Jiang Chen didn't want to come back after a trip and find the house turned upside down.
Guizhong nodded.
"Alright, leave it to me."
"I'll set it up soon."
This was simple. For a master of machinery, these tasks were as easy as playing.
"If you're going to Liyue, I'll come with you."
"Let's all go together."
Keqing had been listening to their conversation.
Upon hearing that Lumine and the others were going to Liyue Harbor, she immediately decided to join them.
No way was she missing this. Now that two gods were involved,
if something happened in Liyue Harbor, she didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.
Even if the Geo Archon allowed it, she was still a bit worried.
After all, Liyue Harbor was a mixed bag.
If some clueless person offended Guizhong or the others, it would be a disaster.
"That's fine."
"If you have time, you can be our tour guide."
"Although we've been to Liyue Harbor before, we haven't really explored it."
Mentioning shopping, Guizhong's eyes lit up.
Even gods couldn't resist the allure of shopping.
She had wanted to go shopping earlier, but Jiang Chen insisted on coming here.
"That's not a problem."
Keqing agreed.
Being a tour guide? She had the time for that.
"I heard Ganyu is also in Liyue Harbor."
"I'll go see that little one later."
Guizhong suddenly remembered something else.
When she left Mt. Aocang, Cloud Retainer had told her that Ganyu was living in Liyue.
She hadn't seen her at the previous gathering, so this time she definitely wanted to meet her.
When Keqing heard Guizhong mention Ganyu, she was shocked.
"Guizhong, you know Ganyu?"
This was something she hadn't expected.
"Of course I know her."
"I even held her when she was a child."
"Let me tell you, Ganyu was chubby and adorable when she was little!"
Did I just hear something I shouldn't have?
Is this really something I'm allowed to know?
When Guizhong brought up Ganyu's childhood, Keqing felt a strange sensation.
She had a feeling that this was information she wasn't supposed to hear.
If she knew too much, Ganyu might just eliminate her!!
"I suggest you say this in front of Ganyu later."
"You seem to have picked up some of Cloud Retainer's habits."
"Why are you so good at chatting now?"
Jiang Chen also looked at Guizhong with a strange expression.
"What habits?"
"What are you talking about?"
"What's wrong with Cloud Retainer?"
Guizhong was filled with question marks. What was this guy talking about?
She had always been good at chatting.
"Never mind."
Alright, it seems she doesn't think there's anything wrong.
Then it's fine. As long as you're happy.
Keqing now wanted to run away. She suddenly regretted her decision.
If she stayed with Guizhong, wouldn't she end up hearing a lot of things she shouldn't?
Like Guizhong suddenly telling her that the Geo Archon was actually a beautiful woman.
Or some black history about the Geo Archon.
Hmm!!! She was panicking.
Was it too late to refuse traveling with them now?
Surely Guizhong wouldn't spill such things, right?
Havria glanced at Keqing's current state and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The next few days were going to be interesting.
Jiang Chen didn't bother with Guizhong anymore.
If she wanted to talk, let her talk. It wasn't his black history anyway.
At most, it would just make Ganyu freak out a bit.
The first thing Guizhong would say when she met Ganyu would be... "Ganyu, why are you so thin now?"
Hopefully, they'd meet in a less crowded place!
Another day of Ganyu's social death!
"Then I'll head out first. You all do as you please."
After glancing at everyone, Jiang Chen's figure slowly dissipated into spiritual particles.
This scene made Lumine extremely envious.
"Should I also die once?"
"Then have Jiang Chen turn me into a Heroic Spirit too."
As soon as these words were spoken, Paimon was horrified.
"Lumine, have you gone mad?"
How could you have such thoughts?
