Teyvat Survival Guide

Chapter 37: Wind Slime in Transformation

...Until everyone cleaned up the camp, Samuel still hadn't figured out the reason, so he simply tried not to use elemental power until he figured out the reason.

After Paimeng finished tidying up the bookshelf, he felt a little hungry, so he flew over to take a look at the stove and saw that dinner was almost ready.

Seeing Albedo nod while painting, she shouted, "Everyone, come and eat!"

Soon everyone gathered around. Albedo had already drawn a table next to the campfire, with dishes and cutlery on the table.

So everyone sat down, eating while laughing and joking, while Samuel watched quietly from the side.

Thinking of the scene where Sora was holding him and confronting Eula just now, the little slime couldn't help but start to emit bubbles.

The boy's determined eyes, his handsome profile, his gentle words when he argued for him...all of these made the little slime unable to stop.

God knows how beautiful Kong looked from his perspective just now.

Samuel could vaguely see a faint blush on Kong's cheeks through the hot steam coming from the dishes, and his thoughts were unconsciously diverted.

For example, I suddenly remembered a book I read a long time ago.

The content is empty&%…being touched…%and then-@￥.

Ahem, what are you thinking about!

The shy little slime, who had lustful thoughts but no courage, was looking at Kong who was eating over there. His lustful thoughts made him think in the wrong way, but his reason tried to correct them.

Suddenly, with a "clang", a can of wind essential oil blocked his vision, interrupting his inner self-contradiction.

Samuel blinked in confusion and moved his eyes upwards, and saw Albedo holding a notebook, pushing up his glasses on his nose, and looking down at him.

Samuel: ...?

My Albedo teacher's eyes are so scary...

The aura is like my high school class teacher...

"Good evening." Albedo greeted him calmly, "Perhaps you could explain what you've been experiencing recently, considering your language skills."

"I'll ask the questions, and you just need to answer them." His voice was flat and it was impossible to tell what he was feeling at the moment.

But a certain little slime was frightened by his voice and shrank into a ball.

After spending so many days together, Samuel had some understanding of his temperament.

At this moment, this is the standard tone that Mr. Albedo would have when he is in a frustrated mood because his research progress is stuck!

Private Marseille Albedo-sensei, I didn’t mean to hide it!

"You've caused my research progress to not only stagnate but even regress." Albedo blankly crossed out all the previous statistical results. "With your intelligence, you should know that hiding your strength will cause me to misjudge your status."

Samuel didn't dare to move until Albedo turned to a new page, picked up the pen and looked at him.

"Okay, now let's start asking questions." Albedo said calmly, "Have you been hiding your strength since the first time we met? Nod or shake your head."

The little slime shook his head violently.

Albedo took note and continued to ask the next question: "You..."

While Samuel was being strictly interrogated, everyone was eating enthusiastically over there.

Paimon picked up a piece of meat with a fork, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Ah - so delicious!" She said excitedly, then looked at Sora beside her and found that he had hardly touched the food on his plate. "Huh? Traveler, why are you eating so slowly?"

Sora shook his head: "No, nothing..."

Paimon looked at him suspiciously: "From the beginning, I felt that your face was red and your movements became strange..."

As she spoke, she placed her small hand on Sora's forehead.

"Ah! It's so hot!" Paimon said in surprise, "You have a fever!"

Amber, who was fighting with Bennett for the fried meat with honey sauce and carrots, turned around when she heard this.

"The traveler has a fever?" she asked in confusion.

"No wonder I felt something was wrong with him when we were having dinner just now." Eula looked at Kong and said clearly.

Seeing this, Bennett stopped trying to grab the fried meat and quickly took out his bag to take something out.

"I brought some medicine, do you need some?" he said while holding the pills.

Seeing that Sora was still dazed, Paimon suggested, "How about Sora, you take a rest first?"

Eula nodded: "Yes, the patient needs to rest well."

Amber and Bennett followed suit.

Kong saw them all say this and nodded helplessly.

So everyone helped Kong to the only bed in the camp, gave him some fever-reducing medicine, and covered him with a blanket.

Albedo over there finally finished asking Samuel questions and put away his notebook contentedly.

"This is the first time I've observed the process of an elemental creature's 'transformation' at such close range." He sighed, "After all, most elemental creatures will instinctively hide during their 'transformation' period, making them difficult to find. Even if you find them, they will most likely be irritable and powerful."

Seeing the little slime's confused face, he immediately explained:

“‘Metamorphosis’ refers to the period when elemental creatures undergo a transformation in form as they evolve.

“This means that the elemental power contained in the elemental creatures has reached a certain threshold and is about to enter the next stage.

"During this period, elemental creatures were unable to accurately control their own elemental forces, and many died from the riot of elemental forces in their bodies."

Albedo glanced at Samuel and continued, "But you are an exception. Although the elemental power in your body is still disordered, it is not so brutal. Instead, it is very peaceful. So peaceful that I can't believe it."

“…Is it because I drank a lot of elemental essential oils? But…” He murmured, guessing and refuting himself.

This is probably the style of the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, making bold assumptions and carefully verifying them.

The little slime on the table thought about it and felt that it was probably because of Wendy.

That... Lord Barbatos.

Albedo seemed to have thought of a possibility, and said as he wrote in his notebook:

"Oh, and the traveler you're concerned about seems to have a fever."

Samuel was stunned. Kong Bao had a fever? !

He rushed to the bed at the innermost part of the camp.

The four people over there settled the travelers and turned around to continue eating dinner, when suddenly something passed them and rushed onto the bed.

“…Xiaofeng?” Paimon asked in confusion after turning around and seeing what it was.

"...Let it accompany the traveler." After saying that, Eula turned around and pulled the curious Amber, "Let's go, Amber, let's go eat."

"Oh, alright."

Then everyone went back to enjoy their dinner, leaving only Sora and a wind slime wearing a red plush hat.

The blond boy had fallen asleep at this time. Samuel, who was standing beside him, looked at his head that was about to roll off the pillow, then quietly crawled over and kissed his cheek.

The little slime felt the empty face above him and slowly closed his eyes.

Good night, Kongbao.
