Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Chapter 201: The Competition of Smart and Magical Mushrooms

[Ding! Next, the competition of clever mushrooms will begin.]

[Paimon: Eh? Spirit mushroom? You mean the mushroom beast, right?]

[Cole: Can they also compete? ]

【Nashida: Why not? 】

[Mavica: Everything in the world can compete, let us cheer here]

[System: Little Equestria is about to have its new life? ]

[Kaia: Who is Equestria? ]

[Goro: Inazuma does have a girl named Maria Ozawa]

[Alice: Hey, can you recommend me a teacher? I know a teacher named Cangxkong]

[System: Driving is prohibited! ]

[Klee: Oh, oh! Klee can collide with them. Klee has a hat on her head and a hat on the back of her clothes. She will definitely win! ]

[Paimon: Will we win? ]

[Barbara: Bao Ying! The show begins! ]

[System: I hate people who have no sense of existence! ]

....

Since the crisis on Xumi was resolved, the idle duo, Traveler and Paimon, have resumed their adventure and continued to accept various commissions.

"Speaking of which, the turmoil in Xumi has come to an end. Everyone is very relaxed at this time. Why don't we go for a walk around Xumi City? Maybe someone will need our help~ I have a feeling that something interesting will happen today!" Paimon said excitedly, twisting his little butt in the air.

The traveler readily agreed, and the two embarked on this spontaneous trip.

When they arrived at Xumi City, they found a bulletin board with a picture of a mushroom beast. This bulletin board caught their attention, as it seemed to be filled with information about the activities of the mushroom beast.

The two approached the notice board and saw the following words written on it:

[Want to capture the docile mushroom beasts and get close to them?

Do you want to experience the pleasure of commanding various mushroom beasts and defeating powerful enemies?

Do you want to build your own mushroom team and have exciting duels with other "Beast Tamers"?

The first [Moon Lotus Cup Tamer Competition] is about to kick off in Omos Port, and we look forward to your arrival!

Just sign up for the competition, try your hand, and you will have a chance to win a huge prize! 】

Ying and Paimeng were a little curious. This was indeed an entertainment activity that they had imagined, training mushroom beasts for competitions.

After all, mushroom beasts are monsters that are uncontrollable. Who will be responsible if something happens?

Paimeng decided to take Ying to the competition site to take a look. If there was really danger, at least it could prevent them from getting the situation out of control.

....

Match scene

"Congratulations, fellow contestants! Welcome to the [Moon Lotus Cup Tamer Competition]! I am the person in charge of the competition, Kotlia, a senior scholar of the Shenglun School. I'm sure you are very interested in the concept of [commanding mushroom beasts to fight], or you are looking forward to generous rewards, but at the same time you are not sure about the safety measures of the competition."

"I assure you! The [Mind and Wisdom Orb] we prepared specifically for this competition uses the most advanced [Rational Amplification] technology of the Shenglun School. It is absolutely safe and reliable! Please put aside your concerns and participate in the competition boldly!"

"In addition, this competition has also been sponsored by Mr. Elchingen, a big businessman in Fontaine. He provided all the prize money for this competition, a total of 6000 million Mora!"

【Kavi: Duo Shao? 】

[Paimon: How much? ]

[Zaoyou: That’s a lot of Mora. It will take me 25 years to get this much]

[Sino: It's only 6000w Mora, are you so surprised? ]

[Nashida: It's probably just the cost of a school for a few months.]

[Kaeya: Ahem….]

[Klee: Brother Kaeya, let Klee tell you, these guys are definitely not good people! ]

[Nilu: Is this Mr. Zubair's twin brother? ]

[Lisa: Everyone in Fontaine is so rich. No wonder our Wind God always wants to attack Fontaine. I am also very tempted by such wealth.]

[Navia: Uh... You can't blame us for this, right? Most of Teyvat's parts were made by Fontaine...]

[Beidou: Why does that orb look like a flying tool? ]

[Nashida: Void terminal? ]

[Paimeng: It's the one with the same attributes as mine! We should sue him for infringement! Make him pay a huge amount of patent fees!]

[Dolly: The shiny Mora is waving at me, hehe]

....

After hearing the host's speech, Paimeng was very shocked: "Wow... That rich businessman is so rich! He just casually took out 60 million Mora to invest, which is a huge sum of money!"

"What's even more surprising is that as long as you continue to support this competition, you can get all of his assets. It seems that the organizers not only have the support of scholars from the Faithful Court, but also have such generous rewards. It may not be easy to stop them."

So he suggested: "Why don't we also participate in the competition? Maybe we can try out whether the orb is really effective."

Ying smiled helplessly and teased, "Paimon... have you been moved by the huge bonus?"

Paimon quickly shook his head to deny it, but his expression revealed his guilty conscience: "No! After all, Xumi has finally settled down. If we go against the Church Order at this time, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Nashida? Moreover, seeing how confident he is, I am really curious about how magical the thing that can tame mushroom beasts is!"

Ying took the opportunity to ask Paimeng how he was going to deal with these mushroom beasts?

Paimon rubbed his not-so-bright head, thought for a long time, and then said, "Although mushroom beasts have caused us trouble in the past, they are not all vicious bad guys, right? They are more like... wild creatures with bad tempers? If there is no problem, we don't have to be afraid, and we can try to make friends with them, which should be very interesting! Besides, if we can get a good ranking, we can also earn some labor fees, killing two birds with one stone!"

[Nashida: I should have said it before, humans and mushroom beasts are mutually dependent. In the eyes of mushroom beasts, humans are also very scary and will attack them at any time. For example, it's like Paimon and Slime

[Paimon:? ? ? 】

[Nashida: In the eyes of others, slimes are monsters, but in Paimon’s eyes, they are just food]

[Falusan: To tame mushroom beasts with this thing, we must first control their minds, right? If this thing controls them to attack Xumi City...]

[Keli: Humph, then let’s treat them to some Beng Beng! ]

[Alice: That's right! Let them eat Dayinwan! ]

[Sino: I'll go check and see if this thing really exists]

....

The two came to the registration office

A pink-haired girl turned around and asked in surprise, "【Golden Meteor】Traveler and 【Silver Companion】Paimon...you guys are also going to participate in this competition?"

Paimon was shocked. This guy actually knew us, but where did this strange title come from?

The girl explained, "You are very strong. The mercenaries who escaped from you drew your portraits to warn others not to mess with you."

Paimon smiled awkwardly. There was no point in talking about this!

Should we say thank you for the compliment, or explain that we are not as scary as the legend says?

"Unfortunately, according to the rules of this competition, animal trainers are prohibited from carrying weapons and cannot attack directly. Your impeccable fighting ability is useless. The focus of the competition is to capture and train animal trainers and command these [chess pieces] to fight. You may not be able to master the key skills of commanding mushroom beasts."

Paimon nodded. This guy made sense.

"We haven't tried to capture mushroom beasts yet, and we don't know the key points of commanding mushroom beasts to fight."

[Paimon: This hair... Why did the figure of Yae Shinko appear in my mind? ]

[Yae Miko: That's because the little guy missed me. Why don't you come to the shrine to see me? We can also stroke Goro's tail.]

[Charlotte: Why not me? I am also a girl with pink hair]

【Cole: Chess piece? Is this the word I understand?】

[Amber: Royal Translation: They are just tools, let them die if they die]

[Paimon: That's not right... Why can there be mercenaries who can draw us? ]

[Dixia: You... won't kill them all, right? ]

[Paimon: Of course, no mercenary can escape from my hands alive... I'm talking about the game, not reality]

[Ying: I just knocked them unconscious. By the way, I asked Ms. Alice how to make them lose their memory. I didn’t kill them.]

[Keqing: Are you serious about this cabbage look? ]

[Navia: Is this Heinie? I remember her. She came to Fontaine and we got to know each other.]

....

The woman also introduced herself to them, Hai Niye, it doesn’t make any sense, Zhenjun.

"I have a lot of experience in animal taming. Do you need my advice?"

Paimeng felt that it was better to have someone who knew the subject than to figure it out on his own, so he agreed.

Heinie handed the orb to them and took them to the designated area to capture mushroom beasts.

....

"This is the capture area. The mushroom beasts in this area are highly compatible with the [Mind and Wisdom Orb], which is suitable for training and competition. The [Mind and Wisdom Orb] can capture and store mushroom beasts, and it is also a control device. I suggest that you confirm a code name for each mushroom beast, so that it is easier to command them. For example, the one next to me is called [Fire One], which stands for [Fire Elemental Mushroom Beast No. 1]."

The fire elemental mushroom beast jumped, as if responding to her call.

Paimon looked at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself thoughtfully: "Element type plus number? I always feel that such a name is a bit thin... But this mushroom beast of Heniye looks really energetic, so why not just call it [Happy Bouncing Mushroom]!" After saying that, Paimon laughed happily.

"Thank you so much... I have my own way of naming. The important thing is that it is simple, intuitive and easy to command." Heinie refused.

Under Heinie's command, the two captured a mushroom beast with thunder element and water element. After much thought, Paimon decided to call them the Thunder Mushroom King and Dongdong Little Round Hat.

"Hehe, these names are pretty good, right? They must be very impressive when they are shouted out loud in the arena!" Paimeng smiled.

Ying put her hands on her hips and complained, "All three suggestions are obviously the same."

Paimon explained, "The round hat on the head of this mushroom beast looks like a small drum! I've thought so for a long time. When you hit its head, it will definitely make a dong-dong-clang-clang sound!"

"Really..." Ying touched her chin thoughtfully, but the image that emerged in her mind was that she knocked on the dome of the water tamer with her hand and then heard the [puff puff] sound.

The water tamer seemed to understand the conversation between the two and began to jump up and down on the ground.

Seeing this, Paimon said excitedly: "Look, it seems to like this name very much!"

[Klee: Boom? Can we call it Boom Bomb Mushroom? Klee likes this name.]

[Kaeya: Why not call Klee the Happy Mushroom?]

[Lisa: The first one with thunder element, I think the crispy mushroom is also good]

[Paimon: Bang Bang Little Round Hat is also a good name]

【A Mao: …..】

[Navia: I'm curious if Paimon's head would make a similar sound if I hit it? ]

[Paimon: Paimon's head is not for hitting! 】

[Ningguang: Hmm...If it's a rock-element mushroom beast, what name would Paimon give it?]

[Paimon: Rock King Mushroom! When the King goes to war, not a blade of grass will grow! ]

【Zhongli: Poof! 】

[Hu Tao: Keqing, slow down, don't go so fast, you see it's already spraying out]

[Paimon: Ice elementals are called "honest mushrooms". Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to the cavalry captain.]

[Kaeya: Watch out for my elemental burst]

[Paimon: Then I will turn back your time! ]

[Alice: The cool night makes me miss you like a river…]

....

After catching a few more mushroom beasts…

Paimon named the rock element's mushroom beast "Kuang Kuang Iron-Headed Mushroom" and the ice element's "Honest Mushroom".

"Very good, the four mushroom beasts are gathered. The next step is to use the [Flower Agar] provided by the organizer to stimulate the abilities of the mushroom beasts so that they can use powerful moves in the competition..."

Paimon politely thanked him here and planned to return to the competition venue now.

At this moment, Paimon saw a strange figure: "Look, there is a person wandering over there, and there is a mushroom beast circling around her... Is she being attacked?"

Just then, the girl suddenly fell down.

The three rushed to provide support.

【Laila: Why am I here? 】

[Kaeya: Paimon doesn’t know Laila, which means the timeline of this video is earlier than that crown.]

[Ying: Laila’s personality is very much like a combination of Ganyu and Sucrose]

[Sugar: We are indeed similar. We both don’t like to talk much, but she has two personalities. I… can’t do anything.]

[System: Password is correct, IP is wrong]

[Laila: This should be another mission at the academy…]
