Chapter 236

Chill with us!

***

It seemed as if this different world was a large island cluster surrounded by endless water.

There was nothing around him except green lands that seemed to go on forever, but there was something else...in the distance...

"A mansion?" Yomite asked to himself, squinting as he walked further.

It was a huge structure that seemed to stretch up high into the heavens. "Well, my mansion is much bigger, but this still looks like a nice place to live in."

At some point, someone appeared to notice him, and a large, floating, blue Finch appeared out of nowhere, bowing politely.

"Well, it seems we have a visitor! Good day, Mr. Yomite! Welcome to the Serenitea Pot!" She addressed him, sounding very happy.

Yomite raised his hands slightly in confusion "Uh… I'm not really sure what's going on here…" he admitted, looking at her, then back to the mansion.

The Bird smiled gently, tilting her head.

"Oh! Of course! We don't get many visitors here! I am a teapot spirit, and you may call me Tubby! Ping summoned me here, and told me a few things about you!"

"Madame Ping? I am afraid I barely even know the granny, what could she have possible even told you?" He asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.

He'd only met her twice in total, and he didn't think she'd tell outsiders about such insignificant matters if she didn't know him well enough.

Tubby laughed, shaking her head, "Nothing special! She said that she had a good feeling about you the moment she saw you! You are a good person who wants to make things right with the world! An upcoming hero of Liyue!"

"Eeh...I don't know about that...it just doesn't feel very right for me...The hero title is annoying...please don't mention it again..." Yomite said softly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

The whole "hero" thing was just plain weird...he didn't exactly want people to think that he was a hero...well, he wanted money and discounts from the food places, but the whole idea of the hero status seemed just so fake to him...even the way people spoke about it made it sound like they were being stupid.

Tubby shook her head lightly "I won't speak of it again!" She promised, "At any rate, you could think of me as a maid or a butler! You may leave all matters regarding the upkeep of this realm to me. Your journey may be far from over, but at least this way, you will have a comfortable place to sleep at night! If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to ask me, for there isn't anyone else who has my services! First of all, I would like to...Eh...why are you...Eh...?"

Tubby suddenly stopped speaking, staring at Yomite with wide eyes and an unusually stiff posture, "...Uh...Mr. Yomite...why are you petting my head...?"

Yomite let out a loud chuckle and dropped his hand "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. You are just so adorable I couldn't help myself. I've never seen a Finch so large before and I felt like I needed to touch your head because it just looked so soft." He explained with a grin, laughing when the bird fluttered nervously.

She stared at him with her mouth hanging open, "...A-At any rate! I am sure you are unfamiliar with what Teapot Spirit even means! Therefore, I shall give you a short explanation! Usually, Adepti are capable of creating wonderful realms such as this. However, they generally have no time to operate such affairs! Thus we Teapot Spirits were created to help guard their realms and manage their affairs. And here comes me! I manage tasks such as maintenance or repairs, and also tend to the garden and other plants in the area, just as well as keeping everything properly clean and tidy!"

The Bird paused to catch her breath, "Now, allow me to explain this realm to you, Mr. Yomite! This realm is based solely on mana and the natural elements of the Adepti. There are only two kinds of mana here—one kind which flows through objects, and another type which runs through the land and makes things grow. The latter is more active and the former is dormant. This means that if you were to use the power within this realm, you would be able to create amazing wonders and marvels with so called "Blueprints" just by thinking about the item you wish to create! Of course, there are several limitations. One of them being that, you need to find the materials that the item could be created with."

"So you are telling me," Yomite said with a grin, "...that if I wished to create any kind of inorganic object, I'd only need a bunch of materials, and that's it? How do I know what materials I need to craft these objects though?"

Tubby giggled happily, "That's easy! All you need to do is to think of an item inside of your mind, and you would immediately know which materials you need to construct such an object! The only problem is that those ingredients require a lot of energy; the more energy you use while creating a creation, the harder it will be for you to replenish it after you're finished. Either way, feel free to try it out!"

Yomite nodded and closed his eyes briefly, focusing hard on what Tubby said.

Slowly, an image began forming in his head.

After a moment of silence, his eyes snapped open, 'Hmm...alright then. I have an item in mind.'

Soon enough, a blue light began flickering around his body, and within a few moments, a red, floating screen appeared, hovering above his head.

―――――――――――――

Adeptus Hideout : LV 1

Adeptal Energy : ×100

Adeptal Energy Recharge : 1 per 10 Minutes

Number of creations : 0

Favorite items : None

―――――――――――――

"A status screen of some sorts?"

Yomite muttered as he studied the screen. 'This could really come in handy!' he thought to himself, grinning.' Now, for the first item I wanted to craft...'

The first thing he wanted to try out, was to create weapons from Earth. If this Tubby was saying the truth, then he could potentially create a tank and bring it outside to have fun.

But first, he wanted to try something smaller.

―――――――――――――

Item Creation : Glock 17

Energy Needed : ×50

Materials Needed : White Iron Chunk ×300, Magical Crystal Chunk ×6000

―――――――――――――

'300 white iron chunk I can understand, but what the hell even is a magical crystal and why do I need 6000 chunks of it!? Do I gotta go and mine it in caves like in Minecraft in order to get what I want...? Maybe I could buy it somewhere on the Liyue market...'

Yomite shook his head and decided he would try to look how many materials would be needed for a tank.

―――――――――――――

Item Creation : Nr.1 Leopard 2A7

Needed Energy : ×50,000

Materials Needed : White Iron Chunk ×800,000, Magical Crystal Chunk ×6,000,000, Starsilver ×50,000, Noctilucous Jade ×10,000

―――――――――――――

"..."

Yomite stared blankly at the screen.

"Are you alright, Mr. Yomite? You don't look so good... Do you require medical attention?"

He sighed heavily "No...No, I'll be fine. I'm just a bit...surprised...I guess."

―――――――――――――

Item Creation : Bed

Needed Energy : 5

Materials Needed : Any Type of Wood ×12, Blue Dye ×3, Red Dye ×3, Wool ×5

―――――――――――――

(Man...this is hard...I can't even create a bed...I don't have any materials. All of the materials we ever collected are in Lumine's inventory...I need to tell her later.)

His expression fell slightly "Well, I don't have materials, so crafting is out of the question for now, but I did gain an understanding on how the process works."

"That's great news! From now on, this whole realm with everything in it, including this mansion, and me is yours! Don't hesitate to make any changes or upgrades you want!"
