Chapter 18: Ch18
The price was not cheap, but Taylor had more than enough liquid capital.
"Buy"
A moment theatre, a marble of life rushed into Taylor's mind, he instinctively touched his forehead.
Immediately after he mastered the "reality marble". With just a thought, he would be able to enter it. Taylor was just about to enter his reality marble to see what it looked like, but the system's prompt grabbed his attention first.
[The host's expenditure of mora has reached the required thresholds and all system functions are fully open]
[henceforth, all mora earned Will be converted into points correspondingly]
[The system's lottery function and store purchases, will all be done using points]
[The expenditure of mora that has already been earned, will not affect the points already obtained]
So, from now on buying things, and pulling in the lottery, will not consume anymore mora.
Taylor thought about this question once before, Although, most mora was used as a medium for alchemy the system's consumption of mora was extremely gluttonous, right now, it's only the earliest stages, but it was already costing tens of millions, and in the later stages, it would likely reach hundreds of billions of mora, which was quite the astonishing amount, After all Mora was akin to Morax's own blood.
No, it seems like the system had to process to accumulate energy, after investing approximately 20 million Mora It had Now been fully charged, in the system, he now had more than 30 million points. No, he would not need to worry about making choices points were only used for purchasing from the system store, or participating in the lottery, while Mora would be used everywhere else.
There wasn't much he currently wanted in the store, so Taylor shifted his focus to the lottery system. It previously drawn in the epic level lottery for 1 million mora and obtain the power of the Herrscher of thunder. Now he would do three legendary level lotteries for 10 million each.
*Swish*
Two golden lights and one purple light streaked across his system screen.
[obtained one of the 12 Runes, The eighth Rune: the Horse rune]
[The horse rune can purify you from any external forces affecting the targets, healing from any level of damage, and restoring them to their most perfect state]
[After The host extracts the item they can choose between Rune stone state or perfect infusion state]
Seeing this item, Taylor's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and excitement, he had not expected to draw one of the 12 (runes/talisman) from Jackie Chan adventures.
In simplest terms when used on a person, the Horse rune could eliminate all illnesses and heal all injuries from that person. When used on objects, they could restore broken or damaged items to their original states. It was an incredibly powerful auxiliary ability.
The rune Stone state ment anyone holding the horse rune could use its power, while the perfect infusion state would perfectly integrate all its power into Taylor himself.
Taylor unhesitantly chose the latter after all something he could perfectly control was much more valuable.
A white light merged into Taylor's body, he picked up a vase from the windowsill and dropped it on the ground and the vase instantly shattered into pieces upon impact, He then raised his right hand.
On the palm of his hand, the horse rune faintly lit up and pointed in the direction of the broken vase. The fragments reassembled in place, restoring the vase to its pristine condition.
"This ability is really good." Taylor expressed his satisfaction. " if I can draw the dog rune next time, I'll be truly unkillable."
Next he saw what his second Golden light gave him.
[obtained the third divine key: seven thunders of retribution]
' Wow! This must be the beauty of legendary level lotteries! Like I'm getting exactly what I want I already have the power of the Herrscher of thunder, I know I have the weapon made from the core of the previous era's Herrscher of thunder, The 3rd divine key, it can be called the most perfect weapon for me. '
Taylor immediately extracted it. The entire weapon was intertwined with purple and dark red, taking the form of a glaive. The moment Taylor held it, the blade tremble, as though it was overjoyed to have found its rightful owner.
Holding the stage, Taylor felt of strong affinity with the sword, and felt as if he could cut through anything with it.
" don't you worry, there will be time for you to shine in the future." Taylor placed his seven thunders of retribution into his reality marble.
Today's pulls had exceeded his expectations greatly, and there were still one last purple light left.
[obtain the omniversal clothing creator! Would you like to claim it immediately?]
' Huh? This the same category type as the 'omniversal beverage maker' I obtained from the first 10,000 mora common lottery? You can get items like this in the legendary lottery prize pool?'
However, the two gold items before had already satisfied Taylor Greatly, He regarded this as a fun bonus. Taylor casually opened up to take a look and find a category labeled " Costumes " He clicked on it.
Nurse, maid, secretary, High school girl, angel, devil and so much more…
Taylor close his eyes and took a deep breath, Imagining how his Genshin Waifu's would look in these outfits. This machine only cost him 10 million mora Worth of points. He got an absolute steal.
===
Taylor walked down the stairs, The gaming area was so packed with players. He even spotted many familiar faces like Barbara, Bennett, and Fischl. Even they had come showing just how much excitement his mobile game café stirred within peoples hearts.
Eula had already begun working the front desk. Although the mobile game Café had become much more automated, Eula diligently worked her shifts every day. Comparatively it seemed like Taylor, as the boss was the laziest out of everyone here.
"Taylor, what would you like for breakfast?" Eula New Taylor had a habit of eating something in the morning. (TN: yeah, breakfast)
" I'm planning on going to good hunter"
" Well… I found out that we actually have a kitchen in our store. How about I cook something for you?" Eula asked with the hopeful expression.
" sure, I'd love to taste your cooking."
With that said, Eula When directly to the kitchen on the second floor, took over the front desk in Eula's place.
Before long a fiery red hairband in the shape of rabbit ears walked in.
" mister Taylor, are you manning the front desk today!?"
Amber asked in surprise. "Has Eula got a day off today?"
" no, she's upstairs making breakfast." Taylor replied.
Amber gave a knowing smile and whispered to Taylor, " let me tell you a secret, Eula he's very skills in cooking, I can make some truly delicious dishes!"
"Is that so? Now I'm really looking forward to it."
" you know Eula is from the Lawrence clan so she received education training for a very young age. It's safe to say that it was almost to the point of insanity!"
"Eula once mentioned that even a half-spoonful of flour, few grains of salt or a Second difference in timing of baking could lead to reprimand and punishment."
"Although Eula has enviable culinary skills for her. It's just one of the useless results from following the family old traditions."
"So Eula will not easily reveal her cooking skills to others!"
Amber enthusiastically shared a piece of Eula's History to Taylor. She was after all one of Eula's true friends so amber knew a lot about her.
Sing the energetic girl in front of him, Taylor couldn't help, but start to think.
'Pyro Vision holders are indeed, very enthusiastic and lively, aren't they Diluc?'
"How about joining us for breakfast then?" Taylor proposed
"Nah, i've already had breakfast and… this is a special gesture to you from Eula!"
Amber smiled and then headed to the game area.
'This girl… wonder if I can get her and Eula in bed with Me at the same time? Thoughts for a future Me.'
Not long after, Eula came over and informed Taylor that breakfast was made. The silverware and dishes were all set up, so Taylor can just eat immediately.
What Eula Had prepared was a delicacy known as the "moon pie" but it was her special version called "Stormcrest pie". Taylor cut a quarter of the meat pie and the buttery aroma mixed with the rich meat fragrance wafted into his nose. It was truly delicious! Just as Amber had said the taste of this dish was impeccable, Taylor desperately wanted to devour it in two or three bites but he held back.
Seeing Taylor enjoy her cooking so much, Eula Subconsciously showed an smile full of joy on her face. As soon as she realised it, she immediately suppressed her inner joy from showing. But the slight curve of her lips gave away her true feelings.
After Taylor finished, Eula even brought him a glass of orange juice.
"Ah… this is amazing…"
Taylor didn't need to offer any further praise; his heartfelt sigh said it all. He plan to wash up the dishes and utensils, but they were immediately taken away by Eula, Who said, " just leave this to me, You should go and relax Taylor."
'Look at this, aside from probably Kamisato Ayaka, where else could you find such a virtuous wife?'
Not wanting to resist Eula's suggestion, Taylor decided to walk back downstairs. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw a man leaning on the bar, playing with a coin in his hand.
" Hey, Taylor, you're finally back down!"
"Kaeya, you be busy idling around so much?" Taylor greeted.
"Haha, I came here for a reason actually, acting grandmaster Jean would like to invite you to the Knights of Favonius headquarters for a meeting, do you feel like coming Taylor?"
"I have no problem going… now that I think about it, There was mention about Me being given the neighbouring building, now would be a good time as any to handle all the corresponding paperwork."
"Hahaha, mister Taylor, you make my work so much easier! Thanks for that, lunch will be my treat today to thank you."
...…
At the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
In Jean's office, Lisa and Jean had been waiting for a short while.
"Well… Taylor, I heard from Lisa about the ending in act three. Honestly, I haven't been this moved by a story in a long time." Jean said with sincerity.
Unfortunately, she had been just too busy recently.
Jean had decided at this moment, she must experience the games full plot firsthand. But before that, there was still important matters to attend to.
" Ah Jean, I assume you didn't bring me here just to praise the game you've only played once have you." Taylor asked
Jean a little embarrassed nodded, " the situation with the Fatui Is under control… their remaining members within Mondstadt have been properly dealt with. I believe it is now time to address the matter of Dvalin."
Lisa spoke up at this point. "Taylor, I'd like to ask, is it truly possible to save Dvalin By purifying the blood clots on his back, Like you can in the game?"
===
"Lisa, are you sure about this?"
"If this is the only way we can save Dvalin, then I believe it's worth the risk."
" Don't forget, Dvalin's corrupted blood clots have been cursed by the abyss order. By doing this you are at high risk of being cursed by dealing with the corrupted blood."
" Taylor, we already know this." Jean showed nothing but determination. " I know in reality it is unlikely to be as smooth or easy as it was in the game, but we have made the corresponding preparation… thank you for making this game, which has made us certain that there is a chance to save Dvalin."
"Sigh…" Taylor sighed, sense, acting, grandmaster Jane showed such determination, Taylor decided to say no more. However, in this battle, there would be no traveller and no help from The anemo archon. The best outcome might just be to kill Dvalin.
" Well seems I have no other choice, I'll come with you." Taylor said in a resigned tone.
As these words fell Jean showed a look of surprise. " Really Taylor? You're willing to help us save Dvalin!?"
" Well, I can't just watch you all go to suicide mission together, can I?" Jean was so excited that She clenched her fist And if it wasn't for the current situation, she would've wanted to give Taylor a big hug and kiss.
" I knew it the traveller in the game was created in your own image," Lisa also said with relief. He couldn't reply to this statement right now.
After I confirming the team members choosing to follow the game's example Jean specifically named their group of the "Dvalin protection squad". Kaeya would remain in Mondstadt, while Taylor, Jean and Lisa prepared to face Dvalin.
" do you know where Dvalin is currently located?" Taylor asked.
" Yes to the north of Wolvendom there was a trade route there that was destroyed recently, and the investigation company have found traces of the dragons presence. It seems he has taken the area up as a temporary lair," Jean said Lisa, Nodded in agreement.
In recent days, she had been engaging in various battles within the game, and it made Lisa feel like she needed to stretch her muscles and move around. She even thought about whether she should show some of her abilities that earned her the title the rose witch to Taylor in hopes that he would strengthen the in game Lisa.
They set off in the direction of Wolvendom along cider lake. A little over an hour later they arrived in the area.
This page was painfully slow for Taylor by this point, he could easily transform into a bolt of Lightning and arrive in the airspace above Wolvendom in less than a second, however, he wasn't alone and had to consider Jean and Lisa.
Fortunately, he traded as getting his steps in.
And the scenery in Tayvat was still a sight to behold. The mountains were in full view, the water was clear, and the natural beauty was abundant. Compared to Jean's Seriousness, he appeared more like he was there for a vacation.
Jean had the corresponding geographical map, and began walking further into the area. Lisa and Jean both possessed visions and had physical strength far beyond regular mortals, so their pace was quite fast, and before long, they arrived at the coordinates.
"Barring any surprises, Dvalin should be temporarily resting in that cave over there," Jeanpointed in the direction of a cave covered with large vines and branches.
Of course, Dvalin couldn't have entered the cave through the entrance. Therefore there must be another entrance somewhere. Suddenly there was a faint noise heard from the bushes behind them, immediately Jean was on high alert and drew her sword, Lisa also got more serious.
When a green figure jumped out of the bushes, both parties appeared somewhat surprised.
" it's you?"
" it's you?"
The person in front of them was none other than the resident drunk bard Venti.
Jane explained their current situation, and Venti promptly joined the "Dvalin protection squad". After all, everyone here had a come and goal, Jean began to formulat a strategic plan of action.
Venti took this opportunity to ask Taylor about the battle with Signora that day. However, Taylor's answer consisted of just two sounds - "Eh, heh."
'What does "Eh, heh" mean?' Venti helplessly hung his head. He never dreamed that he would one-day be tormented by these two words that he used often.
Suddenly Lisa raised her head, seeming to have sensed something, "silence!" Probably no more than five seconds, after Lisa's warning, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept throughout the valley and a dragon flapping his wings took flight from an unknown location, and on the dragons back was an abyss mage.
"Damn it, it's them!"
"Dvalin…" a complex expression appeared on Venti's face.
At this moment, Taylor suddenly stood up, Jean immediately reminded him to stay hidden and not be discovered. Taylor showed a puzzled look. " Why should we be afraid of being discovered? We came all the way here for Dvalin right? Well now he's here and it saves us the trouble of having to keep looking."
Jean was slightly taken aback, what he said, made sense, but couldn't you at least discuss a strategy first?
In the current situation, it didn't seem like the ideal time to take action. However, in the next moment, Taylor showed Jean what the real strategy was.
*Zap* red lightning streaked across the sky directly striking the blood clots on Dvalin's back. Dvalin letter aurora and fell out of the sky like a kite that have been cut from its string crashing into the ground below.
The abyss mage he was hovering in mid air, was panicked. " who are you!?" as I asked this question, it's entire body along with it shield with obliterated by the red lightning and vanished from this world. Jean Venti and Lisa below were left dumbfounded, is this how you plan to save Dvalin?
===
Taylor's actions were lightning fast; Practically instantaneous. The shattered rocks and dust filled gusts all over the place proved it was all real, however, right after Taylor killed the abyss mage, at the same spot, three faint glimmer of light began to appear.
Three abyss majors appeared simultaneously! " enemies of the abyss…" before they could even finish their sentence, three lightning bolts struck down. The lightning coiling around Taylor's fingertips.
These are this majors were completely out of Taylor's league. It wasn't even funny. The way Taylor felt when I was best described as a max leveled player who completed every side quest return to the starter village to begin the main story. no matter the monster, he didn't even have to use a small fraction of his power he could just butcher them with ease.
In front of such absolute power, strategies and tactics role useless. All he needs to do was kill the enemies before him. Perhaps it was Taylor methods that shocked the Abyss order members, originally there was a purple portal opening at the side, but now it seems to have halted and quickly started to fade, eventually disappearing.
The best order didn't dare to approach him again. On the other side, I miss the roaring winds mixed with the sound of the Dragon's rage, . It was clear that the previous attack hadn't calmed Dvalin but had, in fact ignited his anger.
"Oh no, Dvalin is going out of control!"
" Jean Lisa, be careful of any surrounding abyss mages, I'll go help Taylor!" Fancy immediately made a decision and disappeared on the spot. Jean and Lisa exchange of glance with each other and nodded since all white confrontation had not erupted there was no turning back.
At this moment, Jean was no longer the acting grandmaster, but a knight on the front lines.
"Roar!!!" on the ground, Dvalin shook his massive body and issued a threatening reward toward the figure currently in the sky. Violent wind surged between the skies and the ground. The clouds. rolled up like curtains. Dvalin flapped his wings, becoming a green streak of white as it charged towards Taylor in the sky.
However, at this moment, Dvalin's Movements momentarily froze, as if guided by a voice, this boys seem to be calling out to him attempting to camp him down.
However, this affect seemed to have backfired somewhat. Perhaps it would've worked if there was Leslie motion involved, but just a moment ago, he was knocked out of the sky into the ground, shattering a cliff. For Dvalin, was undoubtably a claim of territory war.
It's temper was already bad because of the corrupted blood and Abyss curse on the blood. He was now in an unbelievably furious state. He swiped his dragon claws towards the human before him.
Facing the charging Dvalin, Taylor remains completely calm, could easily dodge this attack with his lightning speech, but that was unnecessary. The effect of his horse Rune would be most effective when the target was stable.
I'm just stabilised, Dvalin Was actually quite simple, Sometimes, when a child peas, they need a good scolding. Perhaps due to the boost in power and his ADHD, Taylor couldn't help but shout in a somewhat childish manner, " storm dragon, you will submit to me!!"
Venti: "…"
As Dvalin rapidly approached, Taylor raised his right hand, countless lightning bulbs interwove upon his command, forming into a lightning creature in the shape of a qilin.
*Boom*
A brilliant flash of radiant white burst in the sky. Even Jean and Lisa, found it hard to look a, when the light dissipated, Dvalin Fell directly out of the sky onto the ground below.
"Dvalin!!!" Venti arrived beside Dvalin, saying that he was admitting a bluish smoke, is most slightly open and tongue hanging out.
" Don't worry he won't die, he's as tough as nails, and I made sure not to go too hard on him." Taylor reassured Venti.
"Ugh… don't you think you're being a little to heavy-handed there?" Venti asked in an exasperated tone.
" Sometimes children need a firm hand, anyway, please step aside for a moment." Taylor said.
When he was comforting Dvalin Was momentarily stunned, but chose to trust Taylor. Taylor stepped forward and placed his palm onto Dvalin's snout.
Immediately, a strange power started affecting Dvalin's body. First the two Corrupted blood clots on his back Were purified and restored to their original states in an Instant, Then the lightning scars over Devon's body were also healed in the brink of an eye as well as any injury he had sustained throughout his life.
Venti's, azure eyes stared intently at everything that was happening before him, unable to contain his astonishment. 'What kind of divine technique was this!?' he, once again had to revise his perception of Taylor. Not only did he possess immeasurable strength, but he also had an extraordinary healing and purification ability. Such method would definitely astonish the rest of the seven wouldn't they?
At this moment, I thought had crossed, in Venti's mind. Based on all the current evidence, Taylor was probably an even stronger being than the seven Archons after the dust had settled, perhaps even at the level of the sustainer…
Not far away, Lisa and Jean had rushed over, also witnessing this mythical scene.
Send the white light around Dvalin Dissipated. Dvalin Moved his body slightly, and slowly climbed back to his feet. His gaze held a mix of surprise and uncertainty as he looked at the people before him.
"Barbatos…"
After looking Venti for a few moments he focused his gaze on Taylor.
" thank you…"
Dvalin understood, everything that it happened to him, he lowered his enormous head and expressed his gratitude towards Taylor.
" You're welcome, I was just doing someone else a favour," Taylor replied.
However, in the next moment Dvalin's words left everyone speechless.
" you know compared to Barbatos, you seem more fitting to be Mondstadt's god…"
===
"Hey! Dvalin, what do you mean by that…?" Venti feeling indignant, placed his hands on his hips.
"Haha, being a God is certainly one thing; but I believe I'm better suited as the owner of my mobile gaming café." Taylor said while laughing.
However, right after Taylor finished speaking, everyone's expression suddenly changed as a small red line appeared at the corner of his Mouth. This sudden change startled everyone.
" Taylor are you okay!?" Jean was deeply worried.
Lisa also showed a concerned Look. Taylor waved his hands and just smiled casually.
" I'm fine, just a minor injury at worst."
But his explanation only heightens their concerns. After all, just a moment go, Taylor appeared like a genuine divine being., instantly defeating all the enemies and subduing Dvalin. Then he used an astonishing healing method to purify the corrupted blood and destroy the curse on Dvalin and heal his injuries.
Everyone had witnessed that series of actions, in which he seemed almost godlike.
