Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 124

Kazina herself was stunned on the screen, staring blankly at her hands and her car.

"Am I...am I that powerful?"

However, her body did not stop!

The next moment, before she could even turn around, her right hand, as if it had eyes in the back of its head, caught a cold arrow that was shot from a blind spot behind her with perfect precision!

She subconsciously channeled her rock elemental power into the arrow and then hurled it back in the direction it had come from!

“Whoosh—Boom!”

The arrow, enhanced by the rock element, was like a small cannonball. It struck a group of contestants who were gathering in the distance, causing a small-scale rock explosion. Five or six people were instantly blown off their feet and rendered unable to fight.

Kachina: "..." (Completely stunned, her brain overloaded)

Looking at Kachina on the screen, who seemed possessed by a war goddess and had an expression that said, "Who am I? Where am I? How am I so awesome?", Zhang Chu shook his head and summarized in a tone that was a mixture of pity and amusement:

"Very good, it seems this team competition is already decided. Kachina, you've got it."

He was now only curious whether this "early-stage automated combat AI" could continue to work miracles when Kazina encountered opponents of Ianshan or Chasca's caliber.

And what unexpected sparks will fly when the "Wolf King, Captain, and Mysterious Man" trio, who inexplicably came together off the field, come together?

This night in Nata was destined to be anything but peaceful. The match inside the arena spiraled out of control due to AI intervention, while the situation outside the arena became unpredictable due to an unexpected encounter.

And the instigators of all this—the Honorary Hilichurls—are sitting in the best seats, ready to enjoy this chaotic yet hilarious spectacle they themselves have orchestrated.

Chapter 147 Erkang: "Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!"

The team competition finally came to a chaotic end.

Thanks to the schedule and a bit of "luck," Katina and Marani's team made it all the way to the finals, managing to avoid facing any of the favorites to win, such as Chaska, Ianshan, or even Kinic. In the end, they won the team championship with an almost overwhelming victory.

However, the process of crushing the enemy was truly... a terrible sight.

The fighters who fell to Katina suffered bruises and swelling, or even fell into a coma, even though Katina subconsciously tried to "hold back."

Those unlucky guys who were beaten unconscious were temporarily stored in the core space of the abdomen by Galactron, who was suspended in the air, with a soft white light. After the match, they were "vomited" onto the beds in the medical area like garbage, which almost choked the medical officer who was drinking tea.

Kazina returned to her temporary rest room in the arena in a daze, plopped down on the bed, looked down at her seemingly small and harmless hands, and her amber eyes were filled with great confusion and self-doubt.

"How could this be... Am I... am I really that strong?"

She murmured to herself, feeling as if she were dreaming. Those exquisite dodges, sharp counterattacks, and perfectly timed elemental maneuvers—it was as if another combat master was controlling her body!

"Of course, you're that strong!"

"Whaaaaaah——!!"

A confident (and abrupt) voice suddenly rang out beside her, startling Katzina like a frightened cat, causing her to spring off the bed and nearly crash into the ceiling!

Still shaken, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Er Kang, the water-type Hilichurl ranger, had silently slipped into her room and was leaning against the wall. On his Hilichurl mask, there was now an extremely bright, even slightly lewd (though he thought it was handsome) smiling face!

"Mr. Erkang! You...how did you get here?!"

Kazina clutched her pounding heart, feeling both frightened and confused.

Shouldn't this guy be in the VIP viewing area?

"Of course, we've come to visit our great hero!"

Er Kang said in a tone that said, "I care about you very much," and the smiling face on his mask even winked.

"It seems you lack confidence in your abilities. Don't worry, the way you dominated on the field just now was your true level—your full potential!"

"Fully...unleash?"

Kazina was even more confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It means I added a little something to your body,"

Erkang pointed proudly at Kachina, as if showing off his masterpiece.

"A super combat assistance system that can free you from tension, eliminate distractions, and perfectly unleash your full potential! Simply put, it helps you filter out the garbage information in your mind like 'I can't' or 'I'm not good enough,' leaving only the core command 'Fuck it!'"

"What?! You...you put something inside me?!"

Kachina's face turned deathly pale instantly. She instinctively hugged herself tightly, her voice trembling with tears.

"Then...then doesn't that mean I...cheated?!"

The thought that she had won the game by relying on external forces overwhelmed her with immense guilt.

"Don't worry! It's definitely not cheating!"

Er Kang immediately waved his hand, his tone resolute.

"If using such an assistance system is considered cheating, then wouldn't Chaska's 'flying revolver' that can fly around in the air and automatically aim be considered cheating? And Iansan's monstrous strength that can withstand the ramming of a dragon should also be banned!"

He tried to explain using the logic of the Natas: "I understand your Natas' rules. You don't care about absolute fairness, you only care about 'usefulness' and 'violation of the rules'! As long as you don't use weapons that are explicitly prohibited or maliciously cripple your opponent, the ability to beat the Abyss down is a good ability!"

"Think about it, after the Holy Night Pilgrimage, you'll be facing the abyss. At that point, nobody cares what methods you use; coming back alive is the only thing that matters!"

"Isn't your 'Resurrection Poem' also like a bug? Five people go to fight in the Abyss, and as long as one of them can climb back up, he can revive the whole team! That's way more outrageous than my support system!"

"What did I just hear? Cheating?!"

Just then, a sharp, piercing voice, filled with jealousy and resentment, came from the doorway like fingernails scratching a blackboard!

Immediately afterwards, the door to the lounge was violently pushed open, and two figures barged in aggressively.

One was Tamuin, a warrior from the Suspended Tree tribe, and the other was Tepepan, a warrior from the Smoke Mist tribe.

Both of them were instantly defeated by Katina in the team competition, and they were clearly extremely dissatisfied with the result.

"Hmph! I knew it!"

Tepepan crossed his arms, looked down at Kazina with disdain.

"You're definitely cheating! Otherwise, how could a little kid like you send so many of us flying in one go?!"

Tamuin chimed in, angrily waving his fist.

"We ganged up on you! And you used some dirty trick to blow us all up! Tell me! Did you set a trap on the field beforehand?! Or did you use some forbidden drugs?!"

"I...I didn't...I..."

Kachina was so frightened by the two men's aggressive demeanor that she kept backing away, her face pale. She wanted to explain, but because of her nervousness and grievances, she couldn't speak properly, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Erkang couldn't stand it any longer. He took a step forward, his tall figure standing like a city wall in front of Kachina, protecting her completely.

The smiling expression on his mask instantly switched to a highly sarcastic "comical" one as he addressed the two uninvited guests: "You two need evidence to back up your arguments. If you can't handle losing, don't play. What kind of skill is it to come here and bully a little girl?"

"Hillbilly Wanderer!"

Only then did the two notice Erkang's presence. When they came in, their attention was entirely on Kachina, and they hadn't noticed the "non-human" presence in the room at all.

Tepepan immediately seemed to have seized on something, shrieking, "So that's it! You really are a minion of the Abyss! You've actually been associating with monsters! Kazina! What else do you have to say for yourself!"

"certainly not!"

Kachina mustered her courage, peeked out from behind Erkang, and loudly retorted, "Mr. Erkang is a guest personally invited by Lord Vulcan! He is an honorary knight who has come to help Nata fight against the Abyss!"

"Honorary Knight? Bah!"

Tamuin spat, his face full of disdain.

"A monster is a monster! Dressing like a human doesn't change its nature! Associating with monsters means you're no better!"

As he spoke, he and Tepepan simultaneously drew their swords and short axes, approaching each other with menacing eyes.

"You two! You're not individual competitors, what are you still doing here?!"

Just then, a dignified female voice rang out.

Thunina, a tall, muscular Nata woman carrying a registration board and responsible for maintaining order in the arena, walked over with a frown.

She had clearly heard the commotion.

"What are we doing? Of course, we're cleaning house for Nata and killing these two minions of the Abyss!"

Tepepan pointed at Erkang and Kachina and said viciously.

Er Kang shrugged helplessly, cracked his wrist, and made a snapping sound.

"I've already said that I don't like fighting, but that doesn't mean I can't fight."

Before he finished speaking, just as Tepepan and Tamuin charged forward wielding their weapons, Erkang made his move!

His speed was as fast as a ghost. He turned to the side, twisted his waist, raised his leg, and unleashed an incredibly swift high spinning kick, which lashed out like a whip!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two muffled thuds, almost simultaneously!

Tepepan and Tamuin felt a tremendous force, as if their chests had been struck by a boulder. Their feet left the ground and they flew backward uncontrollably. Then, with two "thuds," their heads and chests were deeply embedded in the hard stone wall of the lounge, like two abstract paintings!

The two men rolled their eyes back and lost consciousness on the spot, with only their hands and feet occasionally twitching.

"Uh...sorry, I think I used a bit too much force and caused you trouble."

Erkang pulled his leg back and said somewhat embarrassedly to the dumbfounded Tunina.

Tunina glanced at the two uniquely shaped "human-shaped reliefs" on the wall, then at Erkang, who looked "innocent," and Kachina, who was trembling with fear. She sighed helplessly and waved her hand, "It's no trouble at all. After all, you are Nata's distinguished guest. And these two really do need to calm down."

As she spoke, the burly female staff member walked directly to the wall, pulled out a giant two-handed warhammer taller than herself from somewhere, and smashed it a few times at the weathered wall while shouting "Eighty! Eighty!", directly knocking down the wall along with the two people embedded in it!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Tunina calmly dragged Tepepan and Tamuin by the ankles, one in each hand, like two dead dogs, and walked away from the scene, leaving behind only a mess and a dumbfounded Kazina.

Erkang turned around, and the (what he thought was) gentle and encouraging smile reappeared on his mask. He said to the still bewildered Kachina, "See? Sometimes, a necessary display of 'power' is needed to shut up the noisy guys."

"Come on, Kazina, believe in yourself, you are much stronger than you think."

After saying that, he turned around with a flourish (in his own opinion), whistling, and walked away from the chaotic lounge with an air of nonchalance.

Kachina was left alone, standing in front of the broken wall, watching Erkang's departing figure, then looking at her still fair and delicate hands. The confusion in her heart did not lessen, but rather deepened...

Chapter 148 Chaska: "It's not unfair."

"Holy crap! I made a mistake! Dear brothers and sisters, please spare my life! Help me—!"
