Ling Feng squatted by the lake on Mount Ao Cang, washing his face to clear his head and organize his memories.
However, no matter how hard Ling Feng tried to recall, he had no idea how he had arrived here, nor did he know where "here" was.
Ling Feng surveyed the beautiful scenery before him, the birdsong and fragrance of flowers, the lake so clear he could see the bottom, and the surrounding mountains. It was like a fairyland; he had never seen such beautiful scenery on Earth.
An hour ago, Ling Feng had fallen into the lake. Seeing that Ling Feng was still unconscious, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, unable to bear it any longer, used his wind elemental power to pull him out of the lake and leave him on the shore before departing.
...
"The most logical explanation now is transmigration."
"But I just dropped my phone, and it swallowed me whole and sent me to this unknown place?" Ling Feng looked at his reflection in the lake, muttering to himself.
Who would explain transmigration the fastest? Of course, it would be a fan of anime or novels! Ling Feng happened to be both.
[Ding! The Endless System has fully merged with the host!]
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ling Feng's ear, startling him from his muttering.
He found it hard to believe the voice he had just heard, but still, with a hopeful tone, he thought in his mind, "System?"
[Ding! What are your commands, host? The Endless System serves you!]
"It really is a system!"
The system's response made Ling Feng almost jump three feet high with excitement. As a seasoned reader of online novels, he had seen many novels with systems and understood that a system was the standard cheat for transmigrators.
He never expected to obtain the system that countless people in China on Earth desired. How could he not be excited?
Excited as he was, he needed to get a clear picture of the situation.
"System, can you introduce yourself first?"
[Certainly!] The system's mechanical voice made Ling Feng feel uncomfortable.
"Can you change your voice?"
[Certainly. What kind would you like, host?]
"A sweet female voice would be nice."
[Understood.] The system's mechanical voice disappeared, replaced by a sweet female voice.
"Right, System, can you tell me where I am now?" Ling Feng suddenly remembered that he hadn't even figured out his location yet.
[The host is currently at the summit of Mount Ao Cang in the Liyue region of Teyvat.]
"What? Teyvat? I transmigrated into Genshin Impact?"
Ling Feng was a bit surprised. Teyvat was extremely familiar to him; after all, he was still playing Genshin Impact before he transmigrated.
However, he was only superficially familiar with it and didn't fully understand Teyvat.
Although he had been playing since the game's release, Genshin Impact was not yet complete. Before he transmigrated, it had only been updated to the nation of Inazuma, and he was just an ordinary free-to-play player.
Before his transmigration, he hadn't even collected all the characters, and there were many characters he hadn't thoroughly learned about, only gaining some knowledge of their stories through their story quests.
Therefore, Ling Feng's understanding of Teyvat was neither complete nor entirely lacking. While he didn't fully grasp everything, he was very familiar with many characters, especially the female ones. He would exclaim "waifu" whenever a beautiful female character appeared.
This was something most players enjoyed doing.
Even if they didn't pull for them, they were still waifus!
"Damn it!"
"Why didn't you wait until the game was completely released before transmigrating me? I haven't even fully learned all the character stories yet."
"I only know a fraction of it. Why do others transmigrate and become omniscient and omnipotent, while I, with so much knowledge I still don't possess, am thrown into Teyvat?"
Ling Feng complained helplessly. Although he had been a player since Genshin Impact's launch.
Before he transmigrated, his Adventure Rank was only level 50. While this was partly because he didn't want to break through the World Level, he was still just an ordinary Genshin Impact player.
He hadn't even caught up with the main player base. How could he know everything like in those other novels? This was bound to cause trouble.
Furthermore, before he transmigrated, the main story quest had only just concluded the Sakoku Decree. He heard that version 2.2 had new maps yet to be released and new stories yet to be experienced.
From the current story, all he knew about Inazuma was that the current Electro Archon was the twin divine being Ei, while Makoto seemed to have died in the Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah.
After complaining for a short while, Ling Feng calmed down.
There was no alternative now. He had transmigrated, and returning to Earth was impossible in the current circumstances. What should he do now?
He could only take it one step at a time.
"Alright, introduce yourself."
[Understood. This system currently has six functions: Wishing System, Information Panel, System Space, Quest System, Skill System, and Map System. The host has not yet met the unlock requirements for other system functions.]
The system spent some time introducing its functions to Ling Feng in detail. Ling Feng roughly understood the functions.
The first, Wishing, involved drawing lots using something called "Wish Energy."
Wish Energy could be obtained by completing quests, defeating monsters, and so on. Moreover, according to the system, Wish Energy was not only for wishing but would also be used for many other functions in the future.
And the things obtainable through wishing were not limited to Genshin Impact. This wishing system was different from Genshin Impact's.
Genshin Impact's was limited to Genshin Impact, but this one had no world limitations; anything from all worlds could be drawn.
However, characters from Genshin Impact could not be drawn, but characters from other worlds could! Essentially, if you couldn't think of it, you couldn't draw it.
The quality levels were: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, and Red, with Red being an additional color compared to Genshin Impact. The colors corresponded to the system's quality ratings.
White (0-1 star), Green (2-3 stars), and so on, up to a maximum of ten stars, with ten stars representing Red.
The wishing gacha pool was divided into six tiers: Random (White-Red), Normal (White-Blue), Super (Green-Purple), Epic (Blue-Gold), Legendary (Purple-Red), and Mythic (Gold-Red).
Random cost 16000 Wish Energy per draw, Normal 160 Wish Energy, Super 1600 Wish Energy, Epic 16000 Wish Energy, and so on.
For Random draws, it went without saying that the results were completely random, but the better the item, the lower the chance of obtaining it. As for a guaranteed drop? Don't even think about it!
Seeing that a single draw cost 160 Wish Energy, Ling Feng immediately felt that this system might have been produced by HoYoverse.
The Map and Quest functions were self-explanatory from their names.
The map was a three-dimensional map. Any place Ling Feng had visited would be unlocked on the map. Currently, only the Liyue map was unlocked, with all other areas appearing black.
Quests were also easy to understand, divided into five difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Difficult, Hell, and Legendary.
System Space was equivalent to a portable storage space where any non-living item could be stored. Time was static within the System Space, and there was no carrying limit! It was like a black hole, accessible and retrievable by thought.
The Information Panel, as its name suggested, could provide detailed information about anything, whether it be a person, an item, or anything else, using the "Eye of Scrutiny" to scan.
The Skill System allowed for viewing detailed information about any acquired skills.
These six functions were all quite straightforward.
