Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 129

"Hehe, don't be so stingy!"

Maranie stuck out her tongue and said with a grin.

"This is the first time I've ever observed a live Hilichurl so closely, I'm just so curious!"

On the other side, Ying leaned comfortably against the edge of the pool, the warm spring water reaching her shoulders, and let out a contented sigh.

She was also holding Paimon in her arms, who was looking equally blissful, as if she had transformed into a white hot spring dumpling.

Meanwhile, the new member, Shark Chili, took his oversized metal toothbrush and began scrubbing his sharp metal teeth with a "squeak, squeak" sound, his electronic eyes gleaming with an air of sophistication.

"Speak of it."

Marani seemed to remember something and blinked her big eyes as she asked.

"Of the four of you, who is the strongest?"

Qingyu answered first, his tone carrying an objective analysis: "In terms of pure physical strength and destructive power, Gu Qian is the strongest, a numerical monster. Next... is Er Kang, that idiot."

He pointed to Er Kang, who was posing and showing off his muscles.

"Then came Zhang Chu and me."

"Erkang is next?"

Upon hearing this, Ying turned her head in surprise to look at Erkang, her face full of disbelief.

"Isn't he always getting pinned to the ground and beaten by Zhang Chu?"

"That's because he's stupid!"

Zhang Chu complained irritably, splashing a little water.

"This guy is the only one among the four of us who graduated from a proper martial arts school! His fighting skills and physical reflexes are professional-level! Apart from Gu Qian, that unreasonable numerical monster, if he gets serious, without using some special methods, even Qingyu and I combined might not be able to subdue him!"

"He's that amazing?!"

Paimon stared in shock, his mouth agape, at Erkang, who was still striking poses, feeling as if his worldview had been shaken.

"Hey! I have an idea!"

Qingyu suddenly raised his hand, and a light bulb appeared on his head with a "ding" sound!

"How about we build a makeshift arena out of stones on the spot, and then let the two of them..."

"prohibit--!!"

With lightning speed, Ying snatched the light bulb off Qingyu's head and tossed it aside without even looking at it!

"Just enjoy the hot spring! Stop causing trouble! Haven't you caused enough problems already?!"

She shouted, trying to nip any danger in the bud.

However, her action of throwing the "light bulb" was too casual. The illusory ball of light drew a beautiful arc and landed precisely in the hot spring water!

"Fuck!!"

Qingyu and Zhang Chu simultaneously emitted a sharp, deafening explosion!

Their expressions changed drastically; they wanted to stop it, but it was too late!

They could only watch helplessly as the light bulb, a symbol of a "bad idea," fell into the highly conductive hot spring water with a "plop"!

"It's over..."

The two looked at each other in despair, with only these two words remaining in their minds.

"Crackling crackling crackling—!!"

The dazzling purple lightning, like countless dancing electric snakes, instantly spread wildly throughout the entire hot spring pool from the point where the light bulb landed!

The entire pool seemed to have transformed into a giant, electrically powered bathtub!

"Ouch——!"

"Ah ah--!"

"Ah—!"

"Paimon has become an electric-roasted Paimon!"

"My intricate circuitry—!"

A series of piercing screams, gasps, and electronic noises mingled together, accompanied by crackling arcs of electricity and a faint smell of burning...

"Holy crap! What's that noise?!"

In the giant hot spring pool next door, specially built for Gu Qian, Gu Qian's huge head suddenly popped out of the water, and water droplets covered the thick fur of the Thunder King.

He looked in confusion at the next room, and then... he saw a scene that could only be described as a painting of hell:

The hot spring pool next door, which was originally filled with laughter, now has dozens of "human-shaped charcoal" bodies floating on the surface, still twitching slightly, their bodies charred black and emitting blue smoke!

Among them are, but are not limited to: Ying, who maintains a shocked expression; Paimon, who has turned into a small black coal ball; Erkang, whose muscles are stiff; Qingyu, whose hairstyle has turned into an afro; Zhang Chu, who looks utterly hopeless; and... Shark Chili, whose eyes have turned into a spinning mosquito coil and whose shark head shell has turned somewhat black!

There was also a group of innocent Nata people who were caught in the crossfire.

Gu Qian's enormous mouth slowly opened, letting out a deafening roar filled with shock and bewilderment:

"Holy shit!!!" (Very loudly)

------

Not long after, outside the medical station of the Flowing Spring Clan.

"No way, buddy! I'm a veterinarian! My specialty is treating dragons and pack animals! You want me to treat humans?!"

Ifa, carrying his precious medical kit, looked at Agaya, who had come for help, with a look of utter despair.

Agaia looked helpless and rubbed her temples: "There's nothing I can do. Most of the few people in the tribe who know medicine have gone to the arena to treat the wounded. The medical station is severely understaffed right now, so I can only trouble you, Ifa!"

"Understaffed?"

Ifa pushed open the door of the medical station with some skepticism.

Then he saw a sight he would never forget: dozens of “human charcoal” figures, their bodies charred black except for the whites of their eyes and teeth, lay sprawled on the hospital beds in the medical station, and the air was filled with a faint smell of roasted meat (?).

Ifa's lips twitched violently. He pointed at the hospital bed, his voice trembling, "I... I can tolerate these 'roasted honor knights'..."

His gaze finally settled on a specially made metal bed in the corner, where a particularly conspicuous "wounded soldier" lay—a shark pepper with a completely black body, mosquito coil-shaped eyes, and drooping shark fins!

Ifa finally lost her temper completely, pointing at Shark Chili and letting out a soul-stirring roar:

"But what the hell is that robot?! He needs engineers, not veterinarians, you bastards! What kind of misunderstanding do you have about my profession?! I treat animals, not fix appliances!!!"

His roar echoed for a long time above the crowd of people at the hot spring, bringing a scorched and chaotic end to this hot spring day filled with surprises and electric shocks.

Our Order of Honor, their journey through Nata seems to constantly oscillate between "heaven" and "hell," never "disappointing" us...

Chapter 154 Thousand-Year Kill Special Supply Bullet

Just as Ifa at the medical station was going crazy over the room full of "coke" and a "malfunctioning robot," Gu Qian, the only survivor, looked at his charred companion in the open space outside. His brain, which wasn't good at complex thinking, began to work at high speed (relative to himself).

He looked at his companions' dark skin (or outer shell), then at his own heavy hands, and a simple, brutal "treatment plan" took shape in his mind—

He figured that if he just pressed or rubbed off the charred outer layer, wouldn't the intact part inside be exposed?

“Hey—whoosh!”

Gu Qian let out a low roar, and his seven-meter-tall, mountain-like body leaped into the air, and then...

It unleashed a standard, unreserved attack—Mount Tai Pressing Down—on the "coke" bodies lying haphazardly on the ground!

"Bang——!!!"

The earth trembled violently, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky!

Lying on the ground, still smoking, Er Kang watched helplessly as the enormous shadow descended, letting out a desperate scream: "Holy crap! Gu Qian, what are you doing! Ahhhhhh!!!"

After the loud noise, Gu Qian moved aside and looked down with satisfaction.

He felt he had done a good job; there was indeed much less charred black residue.

However, what was presented to everyone was an even more tragic scene: the original three-dimensional "coke" had all turned into two-dimensional forms as thin as paper and as if they had been crushed by a road roller!

They were pressed tightly against the ground, with only their eyeballs able to move with difficulty, as if they were characters who had fallen out of a comic book.

Good news: It's definitely not coke anymore.

Bad news: They've all turned into two-dimensional characters!

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

"Bo! Bo! Bo!"

Like an inflatable doll being rapidly inflated, Qingyu, Erkang, and Zhang Chu, these three "paper pieces," suddenly bounced off the ground. Their bodies expanded, twisted, and deformed rapidly like balloons, instantly restoring their original three-dimensional and full Hilichurl forms in less than two seconds!

The three (along with the others and robots who gradually recovered) stood in place, stretched their newly recovered limbs, and then focused their burning anger on Gu Qian, who had an expression that said, "I did a good job, didn't I?"

The air seemed to freeze, and the murderous aura permeated the air as if it were a tangible presence.

"Ancient Qian!!!"

The three of them spoke in unison, letting out a roar that came from the depths of their souls! The anger in their voices was enough to make the Nata people around them tremble.

Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of countless terrified individuals, Qingyu, Erkang, and Zhang Chu moved in perfect unison, pulling out three ominous-smelling, thick-muzzled Dvalin-themed RPGs—with ridiculously drawn images of aiming screams—from some unknown dimensional space!

They shouldered their RPGs, pointed them directly at the bewildered Gu Qian, and pronounced their verdict, word by word:

"You—will—pay—a—price—for—this!"

Gu Qian's simple thought process finally realized the danger, and his huge pupils suddenly contracted: "Holy crap!"

The next second, he turned around without hesitation, took two huge strides, and like a frightened giant bison, ran wildly away from the crowd!

Each step caused the earth to groan in pain.

"Where to escape!"

Qingyu was the first to pull the trigger!

"call out--!"

A uniquely shaped, thousand-year-old killer special edition bullet, trailing a fiery tail, flew straight toward Gu Qian's indescribable vitals!

Almost simultaneously, with lightning speed, he loaded another round with a "click"! His movements were so practiced it was almost heartbreaking.
