Chapter 31 - Chapter 31

On the System panel, a virtual train quickly streaked across, speeding from the distance toward the front. Seeing this scene, Takagi's mouth twitched uncontrollably. This sequence was identical to the gacha interface of Honkai: Star Rail. Takagi was already starting to worry if he could pull off a miracle with a single draw.

"It's okay if I don't get Welt. Even a four-star template like Dan Heng, which strengthens attack traits, would be fine," Takagi silently prayed.

However, reality did not fulfill Takagi's wish. On the System panel, after the virtual train's door opened, what appeared was not Welt, nor was it Dan Heng. Instead, it was a character Takagi had seen after transmigrating to the Star Rail world.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the "Natasha Template". This template comes with the Light Cone "Post-Op Conversation".]

'First the Trailblazer of Preservation, and then Natasha of Abundance. Is this System trying to make me a backline support?' Takagi complained in his heart.

Of course, it was just a complaint. Although Natasha is a doctor, she is also an expert with grenade launchers. Her template still possesses a certain level of combat power, and the Trailblazer of Preservation's combat ability is even greater. If he were to truly fight, Takagi felt his power was enough to annihilate Doomsday Beast-level existences.

"The Light Cone 'Post-Op Conversation' is suitable for a Pathstrider of Abundance. Based on its effect, it should also be in a fully leveled and superimposed state. Although there is a gap compared to the five-star Light Cone Klee has, it is still good. It's just a pity that while this Light Cone is strong, it has no effect on me right now."

Takagi looked at the new Light Cone in his hand and sighed. He could now control more Imaginary Energy than before, making the help provided by the Light Cone negligible.

"If this is given to Natasha, perhaps she can properly utilize its value. After all, 'Post-Op Conversation' is her signature Light Cone. Speaking of which, I wonder if drawing Natasha's template has anything to do with Yaoshi glancing at me. If it does, will I keep drawing Abundance templates in the future? If that's the case, it will be troublesome."

After grumbling, Takagi shook his head and looked toward Barbara, Jean, and the others.

"Come to think of it, even Natasha has a certain amount of attack power. In the original work, she could even set up a grenade launcher on Svarog's head. Barbara, who has gained the power of Abundance, can't possibly have no combat power at all. Furthermore, the Outworld Blaze and Incineration Shadow are both fire-attribute, while Barbara can use the power of Abundance to strengthen her Hydro element. Should I give Barbara a reminder and tell her to charge forward?"

As Takagi was contemplating, a familiar figure entered his line of sight.

"It's Natasha; she's probably looking for Hook. I just drew Natasha's template, and now the real Natasha appears. We are too fated."

Takagi rubbed his chin after seeing Jean, Lumine, Hook, and Klee defeat an Outworld Blaze with Barbara's help. He then calmly walked out from his hiding place and stepped toward Natasha.

Teyvat Forum.

[Noelle: We finally dealt with an Outworld Blaze! That's great.]

[Amber: Yes, even though I know Barbara can heal everyone quickly, I still worry whenever I see Jean and the Traveler injured.]

[Kaeya: Don't underestimate them. As long as the wounds can be healed, they're not a big deal to those two.]

[Diluc: Compared to those responsible for fighting, I'm more concerned about how long Barbara's healing power can last.]

[Venti: Don't be too strict. So far, Barbara has shown enough power. Even if she runs out of strength now, she has performed well enough and proven the benefits of stepping onto the Path of Abundance.]

[Scaramouche: It's a pity that even though Barbara has stepped onto a Path, she herself is still very weak. Without companions, she can't accomplish anything.]

[La Signora: As expected, compared to the Path of Abundance which has no power to annihilate enemies, the Destruction Path is more desirable.]

[Baizhu: How could you possibly know how precious this healing power is? People who only pursue destructive power wouldn't understand this at all.]

[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Mr. Baizhu is right. The power to protect everyone is also very important, even if it cannot be used for attack.]

[Scaramouche: Hmph, what do ordinary mortals understand! Only sufficiently powerful strength is the most important.]

[La Signora: Just this once, I agree with you, Scaramouche.]

[Baizhu: It seems there's nothing good to discuss with you.]

[Takagi: Different Paths have different effects, and different people have different pursuits. It's normal for people to like different Paths; there's no need to argue.]

[Takagi: Furthermore, who decided those on the Path of Abundance cannot possess powerful destructive force?]

[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Lord Takagi, are you saying that Barbara actually possesses destructive force?]

[Takagi: At least, her power is more than enough to deal with fire-attribute Outworld Blazes and Incineration Shadows.]

...

"Barbara can use her own power to deal with those monsters?" Paimon was immediately surprised when she saw Takagi's message. Because she couldn't help with the fighting, Paimon had been looking for a solution through the forum. She didn't expect to see Takagi's message as soon as she opened it.

"Paimon, are you saying I can deal with those monsters?" Barbara heard Paimon's voice and looked over doubtfully.

"Yes, Takagi said so on the forum!" Paimon nodded heavily.

"My power..." Barbara looked at the forum, then at her own hands. Immediately, her eyes became firm, and she stepped forward, running toward the Fragmentum creatures. Her speed was fast; before Paimon could react, Barbara had reached the forefront of the battle.

"Barbara, why are you here? Step back quickly!" Jean said anxiously.

"Sister, I want to try."

Barbara stretched her hands forward, aiming toward the Outworld Blaze. The next moment, blue-green light condensed in her hands. It transformed into a water sphere roughly the same size as the monster, emitting a verdant light. Barbara quickly threw the sphere. The Outworld Blaze, unable to dodge in time, was hit by the Hydro element condensed with a large amount of Abundance power.

The meeting of water and fire caused a violent reaction. With a loud bang, the body of the Outworld Blaze immediately exploded. The powerful impact even blasted a crater several meters in diameter into the ground.

Seeing this, Jean, Lumine, and the others were stunned. The monster they had been fighting for so long was taken down so easily by Barbara. What was the point of them trying so hard before? They looked at Barbara, momentarily speechless.

"Wh-what are you looking at me like that for?" Barbara shrank back and said.

"You clearly have this kind of power; why didn't you use it earlier? You actually made the dark Lord Hook fight so hard!" Hook put her hands on her hips and said with a pout.

"I-I'm sorry," Barbara said sheepishly.

At the same time, the people in the live stream fell into a moment of silence. Finally, Rosaria broke the quiet.

[Rosaria: It seems Barbara hasn't become a powerless medical professional. Being able to defeat that monster with one blow... at least I can't compare to that.]

[Diluc: Although the Outworld Blaze had been worn down by Jean and the others, it's certain that Barbara possesses significant destructive force.]

[Kaeya: Even if her destructive power is far less excellent than her healing, it's enough. Our Mondstadt has truly found a treasure.]

[Baizhu: Mondstadt is really lucky. I just wonder if those who looked down on Abundance still have anything to say now.]

[Scaramouche: ...]

[La Signora: ...]

[Tartaglia: Good thing I didn't say too much. I knew no Path is simple. Someone with powerful healing can transform into a berserker and fight desperately. Such a person couldn't be weak.]

[Scaramouche: Shut up, Childe.]

[Zhongli: By common sense, Childe is making a lot of sense this time.]

[Yae Miko: It's hard not to agree.]

[Venti: Compared to this, I'm more curious if Barbara can use the power of Abundance to heal the Holy Lyre der Himmel.]

[Mona: I almost forgot about that! However, everything Takagi said about the power of Abundance has come true. So, repairing the lyre should be possible, right?]

[Tighnari: If she can really do that, does it mean that Abundance can also heal the Withering?]
