「Continuing the Q&A」
It was still a one-in-five choice. Currently, no one wanted to face a social death, and twenty seconds passed without anyone clicking the button.
「No one in the Elite Live Room secured the chance. The system will now randomly select two participants to answer」
「Will Diluc and Kaeya please input their guesses. You are not allowed to reveal your choices in the live room beforehand」
[Kaeya: This... how can I be this unlucky?]
[Diluc: Can we please stop having me guess my own nickname?]
[Yun Jin: I'm letting out a long sigh of relief.]
[Barbara: Thank goodness I wasn't chosen.]
[Fischl: It is all the choice of destiny, weaving the threads of cause and effect together.]
[Oz: What mein Fräulein means is—good luck to you both.]
Selection buttons appeared on the screens in front of the two men.
「Kaeya and Diluc have made their choices」
[Amber: What did you two pick?]
[Kaeya: I chose 6: The King of Torch Hilichurls.]
[Lumine: Ah? Why that one?]
[Kaeya: Just look at Master Diluc's attack style. Doesn't it look exactly like the attacks of those Torch Hilichurls?]
[Paimon: Now that you mention it, there really is a resemblance!]
[Amber: Kaeya, you're doomed.]
[Lumine: Even the Emergency Food wouldn't have thought of that. That's guaranteed to be a wrong answer.]
[Diluc: Kaeya, next time... I will bring judgment upon you!]
「Ding—Kaeya chose 6: The King of Torch Hilichurls. Incorrect. Punishment: Kaeya must travel to the Time Island east of Starsnatch Cliff. You may not use a boat, swim, or use a Wind Glider」
[Amber: It's at least two thousand meters from Starsnatch Cliff to that abandoned island!]
[Xinyan: That far and he can't boat or swim? How is he supposed to get there?]
[Beidou: I was just about to ask if he needed my ship to help out.]
[Xingqiu: In novels, immortals can fly on swords and cross the seas through the air.]
[Yoimiya: I've heard for a long time that Liyue has Adepti. Do they really exist? What do they look like?]
[Ganyu: Miss Yoimiya, I am technically an Adeptus myself. Also... the Conqueror of Demons is in this group, right?]
[Klee: Conqueror of Demons? That sounds so cool!]
[Amber: Yeah, yeah! Who is it?]
[Xiao: The status of an Adeptus is not a name to be flaunted. Power is a responsibility, meant to fulfill contracts and promises.]
[Arataki Itto: Let this young master see what an Adeptus looks like. I thought they'd be very tall! Can Adepti really fly?]
[Xiao: Hmph. Disrespectful to the Adepti. Those are nothing more than trivial tricks.]
The camera shifted to Kaeya. He had already been teleported to the seashore by a mysterious force. Looking out at the ocean, he smirked. "This won't stop me!"
He drew his weapon toward the water.
"Freeze!"
"Cool it!"
"How about this!"
Kaeya released his Cryo elemental power, freezing the surface of the sea. He ran across the ice, rested for a few seconds, and then continued freezing a path all the way across.
[Chongyun: A good method.]
[Kaedehara Kazuha: So you possess a Cryo Vision. Freezing the sea to cross...]
[Xingqiu: In a martial arts novel, he'd be called the 'True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea'!]
[Amber: True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea!]
[Lisa: True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea!]
[Eula: True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea!]
[Kaeya: How long is this going to take? It's exhausting! Why hasn't Master Diluc's choice been announced yet? I want to see his punishment!]
「Ding—Diluc chose 4: The Justice Man. Correct answer」
[Amber: !!!]
[Yanfei: !!!]
[Xingqiu: Master Diluc has great luck.]
[Diluc: @Kaeya, have fun freezing your path, True Lord of Ice-Bridging the Sea!]
[Kaeya: Curse you, Justice Man!]
「Diluc receives a reward: Ability—Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique」
Everyone saw a crimson light envelop Diluc's body before being absorbed. He reached a clearing, performed hand signs with incredible speed, and inhaled deeply.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Diluc exhaled a massive dragon of fire. His Vision flared, and two more dragons spiraled out simultaneously. They roared and spiraled toward his target. Boom, boom, boom—the explosion was massive.
[Amber: So, so strong!]
[Klee: It's even more powerful than Klee's Jumpy Dumplings!]
[Arataki Itto: Curse it! This young master should have grabbed that chance.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: This live room is too terrifying. Can it really make someone gain such a powerful move instantly?]
[Sayu: Is it possible to get medicine to grow taller?]
[Ningguang: Interesting. These are things Mora cannot buy.]
[Kujou Sara: If everyone gains such moves, won't the world fall into chaos?]
「Tip: Punishments will increase in severity based on the number of times received. Correct answers will increase the probability of obtaining better rewards」
[Diluc: After the light entered my mind, it felt as if I had practiced for years. It consumes some energy, but for someone with a Vision, it can be used multiple times. No side effects detected so far. Not bad.]
[Amber: As expected of Master Diluc, I'm so jealous.]
[Tartaglia: I'm definitely grabbing the next one.]
[Charles: Master Diluc, many people who owed bar tabs are coming in to pay their debts now.]
