What Jiang Chen described as "spiritual materialization" seemed to be his current state, right?
Hearing Albedo bring this up, Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned.
Then he chuckled.
"You could say that."
"However, I don't have infinite magical energy."
"Although I currently have more magical energy than I can use, it's not infinite."
If you put it that way, heroic spirits were somewhat similar to spiritual materialization.
Though not exactly the same.
Now, Jiang Chen's body was also that of a heroic spirit.
He was both human and heroic spirit.
After all, he could also achieve spiritualization.
Hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, Albedo's eyes lit up.
He found this incredibly fascinating.
He wanted to study it.
"Can I run some tests on you?"
Albedo looked at Jiang Chen with eager eyes.
He really wanted to study Jiang Chen.
Hearing Albedo's request, Jiang Chen's face darkened.
"Studying me is out of the question."
"Maybe another time."
"I've given you the general idea, so you can research it yourself."
"My current state isn't a good reference."
Joking aside, how could Jiang Chen let someone study him?
Not a chance.
If Albedo wanted to research this, he'd have to find someone else.
Hearing Jiang Chen's refusal, Albedo felt a bit disappointed.
"Alright."
If Jiang Chen wasn't willing, there wasn't much Albedo could do.
He couldn't force someone, after all.
And even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
The two chatted for a while longer.
Albedo gained quite a bit of knowledge and inspiration from Jiang Chen.
This left him quite satisfied.
"I'd like to ask you for a favor."
After their conversation, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Albedo was puzzled.
"What is it?"
Jiang Chen actually had a favor to ask of him?
"I need your help in developing a communication device."
"Something that can communicate over long distances."
"Whether it's sending text or anything else, as long as it can send a message from here and be received there, that's fine."
Jiang Chen explained his request.
That's right, Jiang Chen wanted Albedo to help develop a method of communication.
Hearing Jiang Chen's request, Albedo was momentarily stunned.
"This?"
"Ms. Alice has done something similar, using ley lines for transmission."
"However, it's not very stable."
"For now, it can only transmit some messages."
Alice had indeed researched this before.
Hearing Albedo's explanation, Jiang Chen wasn't too surprised.
In the game, Alice had used this method to communicate with Klee.
"Transmitting text would be more convenient, right?"
"There's no need to start with voice transmission."
"Create a device that can input text and send it out."
"Each device would have a unique code."
"To send a message to a specific device, just input the text and send it."
Transmitting text might be simpler.
Hearing Jiang Chen's request, Albedo frowned.
He began considering the feasibility of this idea.
Just transmitting text?
If that's the case, it should be relatively simple.
"Tell me more about your requirements."
After some thought, Albedo decided to take on the task.
If it could be developed, it would be quite convenient.
In the future, if the Knights of Favonius had any matters, they could just send him a message.
No more situations where the Knights couldn't find him when something came up.
Or having to send people to look for him everywhere.
Hearing Albedo's agreement, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
He immediately explained his requirements in detail.
The main requirement was the ability to send text.
As for the device, it would ideally resemble a mobile phone.
Listening to Jiang Chen's requirements, Albedo nodded.
"I'll do my best."
"If it ends up being too large, there's nothing I can do."
He wasn't confident he could make the device that small.
He could only try his best.
Hearing Albedo's words, Jiang Chen didn't mind.
"As long as it can be developed, that's a success."
"As for the size, we'll see later."
"Regardless, once it's successful, there will surely be ways to miniaturize it in the future, right?"
As long as it could be developed, that was a win.
Albedo nodded.
He understood this logic.
Regardless of anything else, the priority was to develop it first.
"Alright!"
"Once I've developed it, I'll come to Liyue to find you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Albedo Junior.
Once the device was ready, he'd go to Liyue to see Albedo Junior.
To check on his progress.
"Great!"
"My home is near Yaoguang Shoal, below Mingyun Village."
"The house is by the sea."
"If you go to Mingyun Village, you'll see it."
Jiang Chen also shared his home address.
Hearing this, Albedo silently memorized it.
Knowing the location would make it easier to find Jiang Chen in the future.
After finishing their conversation, Jiang Chen turned to Albedo Junior.
"Let's go."
"It's time for us to leave."
With that, Jiang Chen began to leave.
Seeing this, Albedo Junior glanced at Albedo and nodded.
Then he quickly followed Jiang Chen.
Watching the two leave, Albedo didn't dwell on it.
Instead, he turned back to continue his own research.
Next, he'd focus on developing what Jiang Chen needed.
Then he'd look into spiritual materialization.
This was a fascinating topic.
Though he wasn't sure if it could be achieved in this world, given the differences.
This world also had the concept of erosion.
Perhaps Celestia wouldn't allow such a thing to exist.
However, Jiang Chen's situation gave him hope.
Maybe it really could be achieved.
Albedo decided to research this thoroughly in the future.
After walking for a while with Albedo Junior, Jiang Chen spoke up.
"I'll send you to my pocket dimension first."
"Once we reach Liyue Harbor, I'll let you out."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Albedo Junior nodded.
He had no objections.
At the same time, he was quite curious about Jiang Chen's pocket dimension.
Once they agreed on this, Jiang Chen directly sent Albedo Junior to the Hall of Heroes.
Then, his entire body transformed into spiritual particles and disappeared from the spot.
Someone was coming for him!!
The reason Jiang Chen was in such a hurry to leave was that he sensed someone approaching with murderous intent.
If he didn't run now, when would he?
Of course, he had to make a quick escape.
After Jiang Chen disappeared, a gentle breeze swept through.
Venti, with an angry expression, appeared where Jiang Chen had just been.
"You darn thief!!"
"If you're brave enough to steal my wine, don't run away!!"
"Bastard!!"
With that, he stopped chasing.
If he went any further, he'd be entering Morax's territory.
He didn't want to barge in and get hit by a meteor.
If a god rashly crossed borders, it could cause problems.
He had only sensed Jiang Chen's presence in Dragonspine and rushed over.
But who would've thought that slippery guy would vanish in the blink of an eye?
