This was a compact device, palm-sized, yet full of technological flair.
Its main body was square, predominantly deep blue and black, with some metallic-lustered textures, appearing very sturdy and durable.
The top of the device was equipped with a short antenna, which seemed capable of capturing subtle fluctuations in the surrounding environment when gently shaken.
At the base of the antenna, a small signal enhancer was embedded.
It was surrounded by intricate symbols, clearly designed to optimize signal reception.
The screen occupied the center of the device, a small rectangular display.
Although not large, the screen's surface was smooth and bright, emitting a cold light, as if it could scan and present everything around it.
The screen bezel was encased in metal, with simple and fluid lines, highlighting the extreme craftsmanship of the device's design.
To the right of the screen was a knob, beside which several small buttons were distributed, used to adjust the device's detection mode and parameters.
The device's handle was cleverly designed on one side.
The streamlined grip fit perfectly in the palm, covered with anti-slip rubber, soft and stable to the touch.
Even during prolonged use, the grip would not become slippery due to sweat.
A slight groove was also designed on the top of the handle for finger placement, making it convenient for the user to operate with one hand.
What amazed Lin Mo even more was that while the Biowave Detector was small in appearance, it integrated an extremely complex internal system.
The back of the device was covered with a carbon fiber textured protective casing, which subtly reflected light with a metallic sheen, adding a touch of mysterious beauty to the entire apparatus.
Several small ports were reserved on the side, seemingly for connecting more auxiliary devices to make its functions even more powerful.
Lin Mo held it up to his eyes and gently pressed the activation button.
A pale blue light illuminated the display screen.
Immediately, several flowing ripple patterns began to appear on the screen.
These ripples seemed to undulate with the biological fluctuations in the environment, with fine and clear lines, capturing even the slightest changes around them with great clarity.
Lin Mo squinted as he played with it, "This thing is really exquisite, compact and portable."
This device was created by Genius Club #8, Ram, who once successfully extracted 'value' in encoded form.
Based on this, he explored vast resources on a certain polar planet.
The people of Belobog did not know that the treasure detector in their hands was a gift left to them by a passing genius.
Now that he possessed this item, he could completely use it to explore the resources of Teyvat.
For example, mineral veins, or some special local products?
Thinking of the special nature of some local products, Lin Mo pinched his chin and gripped the device in his hand again.
He felt its light weight and the subtle technological texture.
The Biowave Detector was like a precise work of art; every design reflected the combination of practicality and aesthetics.
It could meet the demands of complex outdoor environments without adding a carrying burden due to its size.
"Buzz!"
The Biowave Detector suddenly emitted a low hum.
Immediately, bright light spots flickered on the instrument's screen.
Lin Mo's finger paused, and his gaze immediately focused on the flickering light.
He knew that this usually meant the instrument had captured a fluctuating signal of some resource.
"The brighter this thing is, the more valuable it proves to be," Lin Mo muttered to himself, his heart stirring.
The stronger the device's light, the richer the surrounding resources.
He scanned his surroundings, realizing he was standing near the Good Hunter Restaurant.
This was not a place where so-called mineral resources existed.
Could there be some resource nearby that he hadn't noticed?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo stood up and walked out of the Good Hunter Restaurant.
Soon, he reached the back of the Good Hunter Restaurant.
Following the information illuminated by the Biowave Detector, Lin Mo's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the corner of the wall.
There, a unique mushroom was quietly growing.
"A windwheel aster?"
Seeing the mushroom, Lin Mo paused, a hint of surprise flashing through his heart.
This mushroom had a unique shape; its cap was feather-like, as light as a feather blown by the wind.
Its color transitioned from light to dark, giving it a soft feel.
Its base presented a pale yellow, fleshy texture, appearing delicate yet emitting a faint Anemo power.
A fungus that grew bathed in the gentle wind, enduring like the wind, nourishing life.
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, his expression growing increasingly strange.
This thing also counted as a valuable resource?
Lin Mo squatted down and carefully examined the mushroom.
Although the windwheel aster's appearance was not striking.
But with the Biowave Detector's reaction, Lin Mo realized that this thing was indeed a type of resource.
The fluctuation frequency displayed on the Biowave Detector was somewhat similar to the fluctuations of Anemo, which suddenly made Lin Mo think of the Anemo power contained within this mushroom.
"A windwheel aster... containing Anemo power, it certainly counts as a resource," Lin Mo mused to himself.
Immediately, Lin Mo was not polite and directly picked this windwheel aster.
After all, it was a specialty of Mondstadt.
Since he saw it, he definitely had to collect it.
To be fair, windwheel asters were indeed not very common.
He had seen windwheel asters before, but they had all been picked by other Adventurers.
This thing should grow in the wild.
Yet there were quite a few in Mondstadt City, and it was even a renewable resource.
Lin Mo suspected that it might be due to the excessive Anemo power within Mondstadt City.
Shaking his head, Lin Mo returned to the Good Hunter Restaurant and sat back in his seat.
"Sigh, the Fatui are causing trouble again."
The owner of the Good Hunter Restaurant walked in from outside, placing the grilled skewers on Lin Mo's table, and shook his head while looking outside, "Really, what are the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt City doing? These rude Fatui should be driven out of Mondstadt City."
"There's nothing to be done. As diplomats from Snezhnaya, stationed in Mondstadt, they are acting openly and honestly, so even the Knights of Favonius can't find fault with them."
"I always feel like these guys have ill intentions."
"If you ask me, all the merchants in Mondstadt should boycott these guys and refuse to sell them anything."
"Impossible. Although the Fatui are despicable, they are sometimes very generous with their money. Some merchants wouldn't pass up business; you can't stop those merchants, can you?"
... In the Good Hunter Restaurant, one diner after another spoke up, discussing the Fatui problem.
Some were frustrated, others were furious.
And even more sighed repeatedly.
"The Fatui of Mondstadt."
Hearing these discussions, Lin Mo pinched his chin and fell into thought.
What in Belobog's Underworld did this correspond to?
