I'm a male god in Liyue

After understanding the situation, Xia Zhi hung up the phone and got up to walk outside.

With Yao Yao there, he wasn't too worried about everyone's safety.

After all, Yao Yao is a magical girl. Even if she is really in dire straits, she can receive remote support from him, just like Cole did before.

A mere abandoned [Relic Heavy Machine] could never possibly be stronger than the [Doctor's] slice.

Thinking of Ke Lai, Xia Zhi suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression becoming slightly serious.

Things seem too coincidental...

Everyone was safe and sound until then.

But today, around the same time, Cole first faced a life-or-death crisis when multiple slices of the Doctor attacked her, and then Charlotte and the three little girls also faced a huge crisis when attacked by war machines.

According to what Charlene just said, that war machine should have been abandoned in that desolate sea for many years.

Why did it suddenly awaken just when the four of them went to visit it?

Did Charlotte accidentally touch one of its switches?

She was a bit unlucky...

Wait...bad luck...

Xia Zhi's expression became thoughtful.

He recalled something that had happened before.

To test whether his acquisition of the "Entangled Bond" was due to his high Luck stat, he activated a passive skill he learned from Bennett in Mondstadt: "The World's Outcast".

[The Abandoned by the World]: Passive, Luck value is always 0. Your actions will go against the will of the world and will reduce the luck value of those around you. The closer the relationship between you and the other person, the more their luck value will decrease.

At the time, he only wanted the first half of the passive skill's effect, which was to temporarily reduce his luck value to 0.

Shortly after he activated this skill, Cole made a request to him, followed by the phone call from Charlene...

Could it be that the reason they suffered such a fate was because the latter half of this passive skill was taking effect?

Ke Lai was his loyal follower, and Yao Yao was his fanatical follower. Apart from Shen He, Gan Yu, and Liu Yun, they seemed to be the ones with the closest relationship to him.

According to the skill effect description, their luck value should be significantly reduced during the period when they activate that passive skill.

Of course, a low luck value doesn't mean that something bad will definitely happen to you, it just means that the probability of something bad happening to you will be much higher.

For example, Shen He, who is closest to them, has the "Wife-Boosting" and "Love Connection" attributes, and Gan Yu also has the "Auspiciousness" attribute. Even if their luck is greatly reduced, it will not have a significant impact on them.

As for True Monarch Liuyun, although she possesses a great deal of merit, it seems to be of little use...

To verify a certain suspicion in his mind, Xia Zhi picked up his phone and called Liu Yun.

"Pfft cough cough... Hello?"

What's wrong with your voice?

"No, it's nothing. I bought some amethyst blocks at the blacksmith's shop yesterday. I was just studying the charging mechanism when it accidentally exploded. I'm cleaning it up now."

"really……"

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. Charlotte and Yao Yao found a [Ruins Heavy Machine] in the Desolate Sea. Would you like to go take a look together?"

"Okay! Wait for me a minute! I'll be right there!"

"Ah."

Xia Zhi hung up the phone, his expression turning somewhat strange.

It is normal to fail multiple times when researching institutions.

But Liu Yun is a master of mechanical devices, and the amethyst block isn't some high-grade ore. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have exploded...

The only explanation is that Liu Yun was just incredibly unlucky.

Luck again...

Xia Zhi is now fairly certain that they were all affected by the passive skill effect of the [World's Abandoned] that she activated.

He had only been using it for a short while, and so much chaos had already broken out around him.

Then think of Bennett. He's had so much bad luck growing up, yet he still has a remarkably optimistic personality. That's really something.

In short, Xia Zhi decided that she would never activate this negative skill again.

But it's not completely useless.

You can also keep it to scam people.

For example, you could use the "Book of Learned Scholars" to inscribe this skill so that unsuspecting people could see it...

Xia Zhi stood at the entrance of the shrine and waited for a while.

Liu Yun rushed over.

Xia Zhi noticed that there were some wet spots on her face and hair, so she must have washed her face before coming. Her clothes were also different from what she wore at lunch, and she had changed into a new set.

This also indirectly shows that the explosion she mentioned on the phone was not as trivial as she made it sound.

Liu Yun said calmly, "Let's go."

Xia Zhi smiled, reached out and helped her brush some messy hair from her cheek and tuck it behind her ear.

Liu Yun was slightly taken aback, then her face flushed slightly.

Xia Zhi withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, the others have heard about this and want to come and see with us."

Liu Yun nodded, feeling all the frustration he had felt from the failed experiment vanish.

After a while, everyone arrived.

Xia Ci took out the hovercar, drove it down the mountain, and arrived at the desolate sea, where she saw the motionless [Ruins Heavy Machine].

"What massive war machines!"

"I've learned a lot."

"It must have been here for hundreds of years, right?"

"It should be, after all, Kanria was gone five hundred years ago."

"It can actually move?"

"Not only can it move, it can also fire lasers. Look at this charred line on the ground, that's what it left after attacking with a laser."

"Wow, that was terrifying! Thank goodness you're all alright!"

"There are still so many charred marks here. Besides lasers, does it have other methods of attack?"

“Those aren’t; Klee blew them out with a bomb.”

"Klee blew them all up?"

"Ah."

Klee proudly raised her little head: "Klee's amazing, isn't she!"

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, Keli is very good."

The little girl is so cute, what bad intentions could she possibly have?

Looking at him, Keli felt that her older brother was the best! He understood her the most!

Because Yao Yao had asked her beforehand, Charlotte didn't mention that Yao Yao had transformed into a magical girl. She only said that Yao Yao's last shot knocked down the [Ruins Heavy Machine].

Aping pulled Yaoyao to her side, first carefully checking her apprentice's body for any injuries, and then giving her a serious lesson.

Yao Yao obediently lowered her head and nodded in agreement.

Hana Sanri stood next to the [Ruins Heavy Machine], looking somewhat thoughtful.

Having become a magical girl, she could vaguely sense a trace of light magic remaining in this place.

She remembered the magical girl group she had just joined.

Yao Yao is one of them, and her nickname is prefixed with "Guang" (光).

Clearly, Yao Yao transformed into a magical girl during the previous battle.

Charlotte, as someone who was present and experienced it firsthand, must have witnessed that power. It's unknown whether she might feel a longing for it.

Hana Sanri turned her head and glanced at Charlotte standing over there.

Perhaps she'll join that magical girl group soon, and then I'll be a senior?

Xia Zhi walked to the side of the [Relic Heavy Machine] and checked the condition of this huge war machine with Liu Yun.

Liu Yun shook his head and said, "Its core is damaged. Unless a brand new core is replaced, it cannot be restarted."

"You seem to be very familiar with this?"

"Yes, I've studied most of the mechanical creations of Kanria before."

Do you have a new core?
