Although... Jia Changjiang felt he could cheat a little using his abilities—
Still...
It wasn’t that simple.
After all, when the people of Teyvat evaluate the quality of ore, they don’t base it purely on sharpness, weight, or toughness...
No matter how perfect a rock was for smashing someone’s head in, it wasn’t something he could reasonably judge alongside Zhongli and Kun Jun’s appraisals.
"Hmm..."
Jia Changjiang rubbed the stone thoug...

"Old Dai, let me tell you — my friend here is no joke."
Jia Changjiang took a step forward, smiling broadly. "Not just geology and minerals — Liyue’s customs, legends, history — he's dabbled in all of it. But today, we'll stick to just minerals."
"My friend here..." Jia Changjiang declared, "if he’s second in the world, then there is no first!"
Zhongli remained as composed as ever. "You flatter me. I merely have some small insights."

"Mm! Mm! Mm!"
Lumine nodded vigorously, then grabbed Jia Changjiang and pulled him along toward the entrance of the Serenitea Pot.
But… the moment he stepped inside, Jia Changjiang felt something strange happening in his body — something deep within him was stirring, almost as if it were waking up, ready to move.
Meanwhile, Paimon and Lumine gasped in awe as they looked around the immense interior of the teapot, immediately spotting a bare, empty house and dashi...

Jia Changjiang immediately grew alert.
Our names are recorded in Liyue’s case files?
What was going on?
And who was this pink-haired girl?
A judge from Liyue?
A lawyer?
Or perhaps some kind of mage?
She had white horns growing from her head... and a few shimmering scales on the backs of her hands.
Not human?
But those horns—they look kind of like spring onions…
The feeling she gave off was a little...

That was how Jia Changjiang put it.

"Apologies."
Shenhe summoned her spear, her left hand tightening around a talisman forged from condensed elemental energy.
"Then—"
Whoosh!
The sharp sound of something slicing through the air tore toward her.
Shenhe instinctively took two steps back, narrowly avoiding the blade that had appeared almost right before her eyes.
"Hm. Even under a sudden attack, you didn’t lower your guard. Looks like Cloud Retainer really taught you well."

"I suppose it’s worth a try."
Gu Sanqiu refilled Aether’s tea, then cast a glance at Chongyun, who had just sat down, drenched in sweat.
"What’ll you have? Tea, or rose iced water? Pick for yourself."
While the issue of his pure-yang constitution had mostly been dealt with, Chongyun’s sensitivity to heat wasn’t something that could be fixed so easily.
"Forget the hot tea—give me rose iced water. No, two glasses," Chongyun said, catching his breath.

With previous incidents fresh in mind, Gu Sanqiu simply found a spot to sit down with Aether, wrapping the nearby girls in a layer of adeptal power to ensure that Shenhe wouldn’t suddenly lose control.
As for matters between the sexes—he was done worrying. Whoever wanted to get involved could go ahead; he had no mood for it anymore.
What he needed to think about now was Shenhe’s so-called "lone star fate".
The first time he met her, Gu Sanqiu had seen it at a glance. T...

Gu Sanqiu led Shenhe to the territory of the Ten Gold Association and asked Xingqiu to arrange for a few sharp-witted female members to help her pick out some new clothes.
While adepti could indeed keep themselves pristine through passive abilities, Shenhe was still a ways off from that realm. Clothes were, unfortunately, still a necessity.
To avoid agitating the latent hostile aura within her, Gu Sanqiu emphasized repeatedly that this new recruit had only just emerged from seclus...

Inside a vast conference room, a closed-door meeting was underway.
There weren’t many participants—besides Luo Yuan, Giovanni, Lorelei, and Agatha, there were only a few high-ranking officials from the Kanto League who were responsible for regional affairs.
Giovanni stood at the front of the conference table, hands braced against its surface. His gaze swept across the room, his expression grave.

Rose was utterly speechless.
When he first learned from Luo Yuan that Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic, was also imprisoned in the Distortion World, Rose had hoped that, once exiled there himself, he might be able to join forces with Cyrus to find a way out of this wretched place.
But to his surprise, Cyrus actually seemed satisfied with the environment here?
Rose had tried persuading Cyrus with all his eloquence, but the reality was—Cyrus didn’t even bother t...

After leaving the Slumbering Weald, Luo Yuan didn’t return to Wyndon to meet with Leon.
After all, having just captured Galar’s two legendary Pokémon, going to see Leon now would feel too much like showing off.
So Luo Yuan returned directly to Team Rocket’s base.

Ten minutes later, Luo Yuan strolled out of Slumbering Weald.
Behind him, the mist that had once shrouded the forest had somehow quietly dispersed.
As he approached the forest entrance, he noticed the Galar League liaison—who had previously led him here—locked in a heated argument with someone, blocking their way from entering.
The ones she was arguing with looked... quite peculiar.
One was dressed in a blue formal suit, with hair slicked back into the shape of a s...

Zacian and Zamazenta were caught off guard.
But as ancient warriors who had once dominated battlefields and survived countless wars, they reacted almost instantly.
The two Pokémon responded in perfect sync.
Zamazenta slammed its paw into the ground, and with a deep rumble, a wall of rocks surged upward, forming a circular shield that enclosed both it and Zacian at the center.
It had used [Wide Guard].

Three days had passed since the last round of interviews.
The newly recruited former Mauville Corp employees had quickly integrated into the base, and the Team Rocket facility that August had "acquired" from Giovanni was finally operating normally.
During this time, Gary had not had a single moment of peace — he’d been very busy.
As for the exact nature of that "busy"...

Doga was completely thrown off by August.
This is the first time we've ever met... How does he not only know who I am but even my old position at Mauville Corp?
Wasn’t the job listing on the forum claiming this was for a public welfare organization?
Something felt very, very wrong.
Doga grew even more alert.
Noticing the change in Doga’s demeanor, August chuckled.
He tilted his head toward Gary as a signal.

By the time August brought Slowpoke into the hall, he found the place completely empty — only Gary was left.
"Finished handing over the prisoners?"
August didn’t see Sabrina anywhere, and figured she must have dumped the work onto Gary.
"All done... August, do we have any other tasks coming up?" Gary asked.
"Why are you asking... Getting ambitious all of a sudden? If you’re that eager, I could arrange a few extra assignments for you," August said lazily.

Inside the office, August sat back in the chair, shaking his head after several failed attempts to reconnect the video call.
"Such poor mental fortitude — how does someone like that manage Team Rocket?" he muttered.
Sitting off to the side, Sabrina had watched the entire thing unfold. Hearing August's comment, she genuinely didn’t know what to say.

After taking inventory of the captives from the Team Rocket base, August realized the numbers were significantly lower than he'd expected.
Roughly estimating, they had captured fewer than two hundred Team Rocket members in total.
According to the prisoners' accounts, it was mainly because Giovanni had taken a group with him when he left earlier, which explained why there were so few people left at the base.
Of course, that was August's interpretation of their words — the o...

After days of grueling combat, the battle on the frontline ended with the L-Drakes being completely annihilated.
With Phantylia — now a fully awakened Lord Ravager of Destruction — joining the fight, even the formidable Nano Dragon Scales couldn't withstand her repeated, relentless assaults. Many of the L-Drakes, realizing they couldn't gain the upper hand against the Imperial fleet, turned to attack the mysterious fleet they had originally been fighting.

“The afterglow scatters like embroidered brocade, the sea of clouds sways like rippling silk.”
A breeze from the ancient seas whispered softly through the crowd in Changle Heaven.

The Hero Julius—or rather, the former Hero Julius.
Ever since the world was split by Naraku, the unique powers of the Hero had vanished from him completely.
Though his title still showed "Hero" on the skill panel, the special ability that once defined it—being able to raise his stats and power to match the Demon Lord during battle—was now gone.
Not that it mattered much. With the massive Naraku Wall now dividing demonkind and humanity, and no teleportation mag...
