    Chapter 41: Walt: The Honkai is Still Chasing Me!

    Venti, seeing he hadn’t successfully pranked Zhong Li, felt dejected.

    “No way, old man, is my acting really that bad?”

    Zhong Li nodded slightly.

    “Mm.”

    Venti took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Zhong Li.

    “Old man, try some of these side dishes with your drink.”

    Zhong Li accepted the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cold-dressed pig’s ear, and put it in his mouth.

    The fresh spiciness of the chili peppers, combined with the crisp and tender texture of the pig’s ear, complemented each other perfectly.

    “Mm~ This side dish is quite good.”

    The two of them ate the side dishes, drank, and chatted.

    Unknown to them, the aroma of the side dishes wafted on the wind, drifting into a nearby pocket dimension.

    Inside the pocket dimension, Cloud Retainer, who was tinkering with mechanisms using her tools, suddenly raised her head and sniffed the air forcefully.

    “What’s that smell? Why is it so fragrant?”

    Looking in the direction from which the fragrance was coming, Cloud Retainer discovered that it originated from outside the pocket dimension.

    Thus, Cloud Retainer opened the pocket dimension’s gate and stepped out.

    As soon as she emerged from the cave concealing the pocket dimension’s entrance, Cloud Retainer saw Venti and Zhong Li drinking in the distance.

    “Barbatos? The Emperor?”

    Cloud Retainer flapped her wings once, arriving beside the two.

    “Emperor, Venti.”

    Years ago, Venti often visited Liyue for leisure and was very familiar with the various immortals.

    Coupled with Venti’s easygoing personality, the immortals of Liyue generally called this incarnation of his by name, except for Xiao, who had received Venti’s kindness.

    “Cloud Retainer, it’s you! Long time no see!” Venti waved to Cloud Retainer.

    Zhong Li also nodded slightly to Cloud Retainer.

    Cloud Retainer glanced at the food and drinks on the table.

    “Venti, all these years, you still love drinking as much as ever.”

    Venti chuckled.

    “Of course! Cloud Retainer, would you like to try some? These are all brought from another world.”

    Cloud Retainer looked at Venti in surprise.

    “Another world?”

    Venti smiled.

    “That’s right. If you don’t believe me, ask the old man.”

    Cloud Retainer looked at Zhong Li with a questioning gaze.

    Zhong Li said,

    “These foods and drinks are not products of Tivat.”

    Cloud Retainer looked at Venti in disbelief.

    “Venti, how did you go to another world?”

    Venti took a sip of his drink and told Cloud Retainer about Ye Yun.

    After listening, especially upon hearing that Venti was taking Zhong Li to another world tomorrow, Cloud Retainer immediately insisted on going with them.

    Zhong Li said,

    “There’s no rush. Tomorrow, Barbatos and I will go first. After confirming things, we’ll bring the rest of you immortals over.”

    Seeing that even Zhong Li had spoken, Cloud Retainer reluctantly agreed, looking dejected.

    Venti, seeing this, offered Cloud Retainer a pair of chopsticks.

    “Oh, don’t think too much about it. Come, let’s eat some together.”

    Cloud Retainer looked at the side dishes on the table. The aroma was indeed quite tempting.

    So, Cloud Retainer took the chopsticks and began to eat.

    Below Belobog’s Lower City.

    Dan Heng brought Walt to the scene.

    Walt froze the moment he saw Star.

    To be precise, he froze the moment he saw the Heavenly Fire Judgment in Star’s hand.

    “Star, where did you get that weapon?”

    Star waved the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

    “Uncle Yang, you mean this? I got it from Ye Yun’s gacha, how about it? Cool, huh! Hee hee.”

    Walt wiped the sweat from his forehead.

    “Cool… Can I take a look?”

    Star handed the Heavenly Fire Judgment to Walt.

    “Here you go, Uncle Yang. Be careful, this weapon consumes stamina when used.”

    Walt took the Heavenly Fire Judgment and examined it carefully, confirming it was almost identical to the one he knew.

    The only difference was that the one he knew released extremely high temperatures when used, while this one only consumed stamina.

    Walt started thinking, what if the Heavenly Fire Judgment in his world only consumed stamina…

    Hiss!!!

    Walt gasped.

    Seeing Walt’s expression, Star asked with concern.

    “Uncle Yang, what’s wrong?”

    Walt shook his head, regaining his composure.

    “Nothing, here you go.”

    Star took back the Heavenly Fire Judgment and transformed it into its dual-gun form, tucking it into her waist.

    Walt looked at Swaro beside him.

    “Is this the automaton?”

    Dan Heng nodded slightly.

    “Mm.”

    March 7th also agreed.

    “Uncle Yang, please help us repair it. Swaro is a very important family member to Clara.”

    Hearing that Swaro was related to Clara, Walt immediately remembered the robot Clara had mentioned who taught her about mechanics.

    “Mm, let me take a look.”

    After a thorough inspection, Walt concluded.

    “It’s not a big problem, just a few burnt connection points. I’ll just replace them.”

    Ten minutes later, Walt repaired Swaro, and Swaro stood up.

    “Thank you, stranger.”

    Walt shook his head slightly.

    “You’re welcome. I’ll be going now.”

    Saying this, Walt bid farewell to Star, March 7th, Dan Heng, and Swaro and returned to the train.

    Star patted Swaro’s leg.

    “Swaro, what was going on earlier? You just attacked without warning.”

    Swaro said,

    “Star Core, taboo, not allowed to touch.”

    The three of them finally understood. They had touched taboo information in Swaro’s programming, which is why Swaro had suddenly gone berserk.

    After staying a while, Swaro took the other automatons back to the mechanical settlement.

    Star, March 7th, and Dan Heng headed towards Pan Rock Town.

    As soon as they entered Pan Rock Town, they saw Natasha, Seele, and Bronya discussing something with worried expressions in the distance.

    Star waved her hand.

    “Natasha, Seele, Bronya, what are you talking about?”

    Natasha turned around.

    “It’s you guys. Are you finished?”

    March 7th nodded.

    “Finished. Swaro is repaired and has returned with its fellow automatons. What about you? What are you discussing here?”

    Before Natasha could answer, Seele quickly replied,

    “We’re discussing whether or not to go to the Rivet Town. Many people were injured in this battle, and we’re running low on medical supplies.”

    Hearing this, Star patted her chest.

    “Let’s go then! We’ll go with you.”

    Natasha shook her head and refused.

    “No need. Seele and Bronya are enough. You guys just helped us a lot. Rest for a bit.”

    March 7th said,

    “It’s okay, let’s go, we’ll go together.”

    Star said from the side,

    “That’s right. I’m the righteous Galactic Baseball Hero. How can I ignore someone in need of help?”

    Seeing this, Natasha couldn’t refuse.

    “Then be careful. Don’t act rashly if things get too difficult.”

    Star and the others agreed.

    Afterwards, the five of them went to Rivet Town together.

    As soon as they arrived at Rivet Town, they were attacked by a group of crack-world monsters.

    Fortunately, Bronya noticed them in time. Bronya quickly raised her gun.

    “Look out!”

    Bronya fired a shot, killing a thunderbird that was trying to ambush them.

    The others immediately drew their weapons and entered combat.
