"From what Mr. Lin Ze said earlier, it seems you intend to show Hu Tao how to make this exquisite version of the clothing using leaves. I wonder if I might also have the opportunity to witness it?"
Morax, in the guise of Zhongli, was still very amiable and polite, as always.
"Of course. If you two are not busy, I can take you to see it after we finish eating."
With the Geo Archon himself asking, how could Lin Ze refuse?
As an experienced player of Genshin Impact, Lin Ze always remembered one thing.
The Zhongli he knew was just Zhongli, not the entirety of the Geo Archon.
Don't forget, among the statues of the Seven, only the old man was sitting, and in such a casual pose at that.
It was clear what Morax's personality was like in his youth.
Although Lin Ze wasn't afraid of the younger Morax with his current strength, he still respected him.
After all, Morax was the one who said, "In this world, demons and gods rise together. Though I have no desire to compete, I know the suffering of the common people. I only wish to cleanse the world and protect a corner of it."
Because of this, Zhongli wanted to see it, so Lin Ze would let him.
"Very well."
Zhongli was also satisfied with Lin Ze's answer.
This Descender was truly open about his abilities.
He answered every question promptly.
He liked this style of doing things!
Coincidentally, Zhongli and Hu Tao didn't have anything pressing to do right now.
Originally, Hu Tao was planning to continue promoting Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's services. If that didn't work out, she would go find Qiqi to play with.
Now that something so interesting had happened, Hu Tao was willing to temporarily put her promotion plan on hold.
After the meal, Lin Ze, along with the idle and curious Zhongli and Hu Tao, returned to Lin Ze's home.
Under Zhongli and Hu Tao's curious gazes, Lin Ze casually plucked two leaves from the tree in the courtyard and held them in his hand, casually manipulating them.
An indescribable energy, in the perception of Zhongli and Hu Tao, instantly enveloped the leaves. Under the not-too-dazzling glow, the two leaves began to transform.
They stretched and morphed into the shape of a set of clothing. Then, the light dissipated, and exquisite garments already appeared before Zhongli and Hu Tao.
This was a set of men's clothing, a spare outfit Lin Ze had prepared for himself.
"How amazing! You wouldn't happen to be an Adeptus, would you? Actually, this outfit wasn't made from leaves, was it? Did you use Adeptal arts to create it?"
Blinking her eyes, her pretty plum blossom pupils curiously stared at Lin Ze, examining him. Just now, with that move, Hu Tao felt it was more like an Adeptal technique.
After all, Liyue was a nation that walked alongside the gods. Not only did Adepti exist in Liyue, but there were also many stories about them.
In these stories, there were often tales of immortals waving their hands and turning things into treasures.
"Adeptal arts? No, no, not at all. The power just now, I call it Black Flag Power."
"My ability is based on the rules of the mind, and even with my usage, it's starting to develop into the realm of conceptual ideas."
Hearing this, Lin Ze quickly shook his head. This wasn't some Adeptal technique; this was even more amazing!
Even more stimulating than Adeptal techniques!
"The mind? Rules?"
Zhongli was pondering the meaning behind Lin Ze's words when Hu Tao excitedly began to boast to Zhongli.
"I know, I know! I heard it's a power that surpasses the rules."
Hu Tao had seen this in the Diary Copy. Finishing her sentence, Hu Tao put her hands on her hips, looking at Zhongli with a proud expression.
It wasn't easy. After all this time, she had finally encountered something even Zhongli, the guest consultant, didn't understand.
Although the Diary Copy counted, Hu Tao couldn't reveal its existence to Zhongli through any means.
But Lin Ze's ability, she could talk about it!
"That's the final stage.
Simply put, it's a kind of incredibly twisted courtship of the Heavenly Dao. Knowing the rules, understanding the rules, being familiar with the rules, and surpassing the rules.
For example..."
Waving his hand again, Lin Ze also felt a desire to show off. While speaking, Lin Ze stretched out his hand in front of them, clasping his hand in the air.
Nothing happened.
Then Lin Ze clasped his hand in the air again, and a light breeze appeared in his hand.
After the gentle breeze dissipated, Lin Ze once again made a grasping motion in the air. Concentrated Anemo energy materialized, forming a sphere in his hand.
He repeated the action, and this time, a miniature Wind Core appeared, about ten centimeters in diameter.
"Such a small Wind Core? It's the first time I've seen one in Liyue, and it's so tiny!"
Surprised, Hu Tao watched the miniature Wind Core in Lin Ze's hand. She reached out a finger to poke it, but Lin Ze quickly moved his hand away.
"Don't let its size fool you. It's only small because I'm holding it. If I release it, it'll be the normal size. And even shrunk, it still has its power.
Miss Hu Tao, you shouldn't be so mischievous. If you want to study it, I'll make you a harmless one later."
As he spoke, Lin Ze dispersed the Wind Core in his hand, then conjured a harmless one out of thin air and handed it to Hu Tao to play with.
Then, he made another grasping motion in the air. Under Zhongli's astonished gaze, a delicate chess piece appeared in Lin Ze's hand.
At the same time, Lin Ze felt a gaze suddenly land on him.
Looking in the direction of that gaze, it was Celestia.
Because I was holding the Gnosis of the Anemo Archon, I got Celestia's attention?
Fighting is such a hassle. Forget it. Better to avoid trouble. This hand of mine... what is there to show off.
Thinking this, Lin Ze flicked his hand. The chess piece, no, the Gnosis of the Anemo Archon that Lin Ze had created, was dispersed.
"A Gnosis?! Hmm? Still here with me? How long have I been asleep? Have I become muddled? Time for a drink."
A certain unknown drunkard woke from his slumber and headed towards Mondstadt.
At this moment, Zhongli, of course, also noticed Celestia's attention. However, Zhongli's focus was more on Lin Ze.
From an ordinary person who couldn't use the wind element, to condensing wind elements, to creating a Wind Core, and then creating a Gnosis of the Anemo Archon.
Is this the Black Flag Power? A power of the mind, a power of rules... even a concept-level ability?
"Ridiculous!"
Zhongli didn't know how to assess Lin Ze anymore. No wonder he answered every question so frankly.
It turned out there was no need to hide anything. Just this one move, creating a Gnosis of the Anemo Archon with his bare hands, was enough to see how powerful he was. If they fought, Zhongli would likely lose to Lin Ze.
And with Lin Ze's ridiculous growth rate, he might even become a test subject!
"This ability is indeed quite absurd. However, what was that chess piece just now?
I thought Lin Ze would become a god directly."
Hu Tao nodded, satisfied as she put away the camera. It wasn't often that Zhongli's expression control failed.
Furthermore, she now knew Zhongli's true identity!
She needed to keep this photo safe!
"Give me one later."
