Explorer of Teyvat

Red Sand Temple,

Wang Dao played with the championship's reward, a gorgeous crown.

In the crown, the hazy soul trembled.

Saqin didn't know why his crown came to this person.

He fell asleep in the crown and only woke up during the competition.

He didn't even know the Lord of Red Sand.

However, he knew the person next to the Red Sand Lord - Mr. Little Jixiang Grass King.

"At the beginning, Saqiyin gave the crown to the Order as a symbol of the winner of the competition, and left the words that whoever recognized him would get his property. This actually caused the competition in the Order to be extremely fierce every year until the second year. Ten years ago, there were heavy casualties in the game, and it gradually evolved into the peaceful game it is today.”

Nacida was swinging on the swing and told Wang Daoyi about the crown.

Throwing the crown aside,

Wang Daoyi sighed with emotion: "You are indeed a scholar from the Teaching Order Academy. You can do this for the sake of experiments."

With his eyesight, he can naturally see that there is something wrong with the crown of talent.

Even the thing in the crown, which is more like a soul than an obsession, is no secret in the eyes of Wang Daoyi and Nasida.

"That's why I keep this crown. Regardless of whether Saqin's research is safe or just, his research is the hard work of a scholar, and it deserves to be retained."

Nacida said softly.

As the God of Wisdom, Nacida does not exclude any knowledge. Saqiyin's probing experiments on human nature are just ordinary knowledge demonstrations for Nacida.

Although Sage's experiment had a negative impact, it was part of the process of demonstrating knowledge.

After confirming that there would be no more bloodshed, Nacida did not mind that Sachiin's experiment was continued.

This is also the reason why Nasida and Wang Daoyi let Ah Mao participate in the competition - to protect the contestants.

"I have no objection to this. Knowledge deserves to be respected, regardless of whether it is just or dangerous." Wang Daoyi nodded with deep sympathy.

Nasida pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved very cutely.

It is probably Wang Daoyi's concept that is highly consistent with hers that led to the scene where the two of them are now co-ruling Xumi.

"However, this kind of experiment is still too much, so I think this celebration will end this experiment completely."

The conclusion Nacida said was not to force the experiment to stop, but to help Sachiin find the final answer.

"Do you have a goal?" Wang Daoyi leaned lightly on the throne, his eyes a little deep.

Throughout the desert, the contestants appeared in front of his eyes.

"How's Kavi?" Nasida asked.

Wang Daoyi grinned: "Ha, very accurate judgment."

Sachin's experiments were on human nature.

In other words, Sage believes that human nature is inherently evil, and no matter what experiences he has in life, he will eventually turn to evil.

This view comes from Saqin’s decades of observation and research in the desert.

Whether it is simple villagers, friendly caravans, or bold gilded brigade,

Under Saqin's research and experiments, they all turned evil in the end.

Therefore, Sachiin feels that human nature is inherently evil.

Of course, from the perspective of Wang Daoyi and Nasida, most of those experiments were for guidance, so they could not be viewed as truly valid experimental data.

Perhaps Saqin also thought of this, so he single-handedly planned the crown of talent competition.

I want to use the competition to bring together the most elite talents in Xumi,

Then he used a huge fortune to attract an heir and continue his experiments.

Therefore, what Saqin pursues is not the answer, because he already has his own answer, but what he pursues is continuation.

He hopes someone can continue his will.

This can be seen as a continuation of an alternative school of thought.

If Saqin's plan succeeds and he has the most elite scholars of the Order as his heirs, then with the help of his huge fortune, it is likely that a school of thought will emerge that specializes in studying the evils of human nature.

"Many things that Kawei has experienced are all telling the misfortune of this young man, and Kawei's talent is undoubted. Even my temple was built with his help."

"An unfortunate genius scholar who is eager to escape from the predicament. It has to be said that he perfectly meets Saqin's requirements."

Wang Daoyi said with a sigh.

Kawei is really in line with Sachiin. If Kawei’s personal will is not considered, his experience is almost designed to inherit Sachiin’s academics.

Nasida swayed on the swing, with a trace of the majesty of the gods on her little face: "So, let's wait and see. If Kawi chooses to inherit everything from Saqin, then there will naturally be an additional school in the Order, which can enrich the Order. Due to the academic environment of the academy, if Kawei rejects everything from Saqin, it means that Saqin’s experiment has failed, and his academic work will be sealed until someone finds his information and restarts research.”

Regardless of whether Saqine's experiment was successful or not, Nacida would not interfere.

Although a school of thought that studies the evil of human nature may cause some bad effects,

But that's what's bound to happen in academic progress.

Nacida wouldn't care or interfere.

And if Sachiin's experiment failed, Nacida would not destroy Sachiin's academics. Instead, she would put him in the library of the Apostolic Academy until someone became interested in these things.

As said before,

Whether knowledge is righteous or not, whether it is dangerous or not, it deserves respect.

"Then just watch~"

The two gods reached an agreement, and the temple became quiet again.

…

In the hot desert,

Kawei strode hard on the yellow sand,

The water bag hanging on the waist has been reduced a little.

"I was doing research in the desert before, and the logistics were arranged by the Red Sand Tribe. Now that there is a sudden competition to limit supplies, I feel a little uncomfortable."

While walking and observing the surrounding environment, Kawei said silently in his heart.

A mechanical device like a suitcase floated beside him, sending out scanning fluctuations from time to time.

"Mehrak, is there anything wrong with the surrounding leylines?" Qavi asked.

As his best assistant, Mehrak can not only draw drawings and calculate formulas, but he also has a certain ability to detect earth veins.

Mehrak floated next to Kavi, a sad expression on the small screen.

Kawei nodded slightly: "Didn't find it? It's okay, we just need to take our time."

It was just a scan with no results, which was nothing compared to the countless misfortunes and failures that Kawei had experienced.

Just say that in the game a few days ago, he and Fa Lushan cooperated and caught a butterfly. When the score was finally decided, Fa Lushan wanted to give the score to Kawei.

It's a pity that Kawei's naughty character has started again, and he must share it fairly with Falushan.

In the end, rock, paper, scissors was chosen, and well, Kawi failed miserably.

So Fa Lushan successfully scored, and Kawei worked in vain for most of the day.

However, despite being disappointed for a while, Kawei recovered.

Kawei is used to this level of defeat.

He helped Dory build a palace, but a dead realm unexpectedly appeared, causing him to owe a large debt.

He helped the Lord of Chisha build a temple and gradually paid off the debt. However, when he was archaeologically inspecting the ruins, he caused the ruins to explode and owed Chisha a large sum of money.

In short, Kawei has countless situations where good things turn into bad things.

Moreover, most of this situation occurs because of Kawei's own character.

When building the palace for Dolly, Dolly had actually stopped building it after the Death Zone appeared. It was Kawi himself who insisted on building the palace and incurred the debt.

Although Kawei has always called Dolly a profiteer, Kawei also knows in his heart that Dolly is really not to blame.

As for the debt owed by the Chisha ruins, the Chisha tribe was not prepared to ask Kawei for compensation, but Kawei insisted on compensation.

According to Elhaysen, if Kavey had not persisted in his inexplicable nagging complex, Kavey would have lived a very good life. With his talents, not to mention becoming a rich man, he would never have been so depressed. Stay in someone else's home.

My heart relaxed a little,

Kawei took another step: "Let's go, Mehrak, let's continue looking."

Mehrak: ^_^

One person and one suitcase walked deeper into the desert.

"Um?"

As he walked, Kawei saw a group of small sand foxes, like ghosts hitting a wall, twisting and turning in an area, but they couldn't get out.

"The behavior is abnormal, probably due to the influence of ley lines."

As an outstanding graduate of the Order Academy, Kawei instantly contacted the Earthline Instrument.

"Mehrak, scan this area and find the abnormal points of the earth veins." Kawei ordered.

The suitcase flew out, green light spilled out, and began to scan the nearby ley lines.

Kawei looked at the group of sand foxes on the other side, with a smile on his lips.

These little guys had helped him find the approximate address, so he couldn't leave these little guys alone.

Sand foxes are not powerful creatures. If they are trapped in this abnormal point of the earth's veins, the only thing waiting for them is death.

"Yo~" Probably sensing Kawei's kindness, a little sand fox ran to Kawei in a daze, turned over and lay down at Kawei's feet, turning out its belly.

As the softest and most lethal part of most animals, the belly is a place that animals go to great lengths to protect.

If an animal shows its belly to you, it basically means that it is willing to surrender to you.

It also expresses its kindness to you.

Kneeling down, Kawei rubbed the little Shahu's belly, then took out some food from his waist and placed it in front of the little Shahu.

The little sand fox twitched its nose twice, and then took a tentative bite of the food in front of it.

It's not a good thing, it's just an ordinary coconut charcoal cake.

But for the sand fox who has been trapped for a long time, it is already a life-saving delicacy.

"Yo~" the fox chirped happily, and the little fox swallowed the food in two mouthfuls.

Then rolled around Kawei's trousers.

Soon, the remaining five or six sand foxes gathered around,

He kept yelling at Kawei.

They don't have any particularly high intelligence, but they also know that Kawei is the only person they can ask for help here.

Looking at the group of foxes at his feet, Kawei was in trouble again.

He also only had a water bag and a portion of food,

If he wanted to save these foxes, he would have to starve himself.

Being hungry is not terrible, but being hungry in the desert is terrible.

He looked at the little foxes, and then at Mehrak who was scanning the earth veins.

"Forget it, anyway, these little foxes helped me find the abnormal points of the earth's veins. I can score quickly. After scoring, I won't be afraid of being eliminated. Food and water are not that important anymore."

Kawei thought about it in his heart, but still couldn't bear to give up these little foxes.

He took off the food from his waist and distributed it evenly among the little foxes, and then gave each fox some water.

In the end, Kawei had no food on him and only a mouthful of water in the water bag.

After the little foxes ate and drank water, they stopped fussing and lay down around Kawei.

It seems that Kawei is regarded as the leader of the group.

Sitting on the sand, Kawei stroked the little fox next to him.

"You do trust me."

The feeling of being trusted by a small animal is quite good.

On the other side, Mehrak also gradually narrowed the abnormal point. It seemed that the center of the abnormality would be found soon.

Time passes little by little,

Finally, Mehrak's green light locked on a sand dune,

The abnormal ground veins in this area emanate from this sand dune.

"Okay, dig!" Kawei jumped up excitedly, which actually startled the little foxes around him.

Several components of Mehrak fell off, and in a few breaths, they reassembled into a shovel.

And Kawei himself also took out a splicing shovel.

One person and one suitcase started digging sand.

On the side, several little foxes tilted their heads and looked at it for a while, and then they came to Kawei's side and started to help dig with their little paws.

They don't know what Kawei is doing, but that doesn't stop them from imitating Kawei's actions to help him.

"Haha, thank you."

Perhaps because the score was about to come, Kawei was in a much better mood.

Digging without stopping,

Gradually, Kawei felt something was wrong.

It is normal for people in Chisha to bury earth vein instruments in the ground.

But Kawei looked at the sand pit that was almost three to five meters deep in front of him, and felt that the people in Chisha would not be buried so deep.

Suddenly, Kawei was shocked: "Isn't this a natural anomaly point? Did I mistakenly think this is an instrument point?"

In a daze, Kawei seemed to see a guy named Doom mocking him wantonly.

His mind felt dizzy, and Kawei felt like he had lost all strength.

He divided the food and water, but now told him that everything was a misunderstanding and that this was a rare natural anomaly.

Isn't this playing with him?

At Kawei's feet, the little foxes felt Kawei's mood swings. They didn't know why Kawei was unhappy, but they just tried their best to surround Kawei and rub Kawei's trousers in an attempt to comfort the new leader.

a long time,

The shocked Kawei recovered again,

"Forget it, this is probably life." Kawei gave up. Without water and food, it would be difficult for him to continue searching in the desert.

Glancing at the deep pit in front of him again, Kawei shook his head slightly: "Destroying a natural leyline anomaly in advance can be regarded as a good thing. It's not a loss."

After forcing himself to make ends meet, Kawei looked at the little foxes at his feet.

"Oh, even though I was deceived by you, after all, you don't understand anything. It's my own fault. Forget it, I'll send you away from here first, and then I'll give up the game."

Kawei still couldn't place the blame on these little foxes.

After considering himself unlucky, Kawei decided to give up the game and wanted to return the foxes to their group first.

Although the abnormal point of the earth veins was destroyed by Kawei, the abnormality of the earth veins here will not subside for a while.

If these foxes are not sent out, I am afraid these foxes will not survive.

After much deliberation, Kawei decided to send these foxes out of danger first, and then give up the game.

It can be regarded as repaying the 'kindness' of these foxes for helping him dig holes just now.

Kawei, the naughty man, packed up his things and began to lead the foxes outside.

…

Beside a rock wall,

Seno easily defeated the mushroom beasts gathered here,

Then a still-running instrument was dug out of the sand under the rock wall.

The instrument is turned off for a familiar driver, and Sano scores.

Chisha headquarters,

On the high platform, the light screen showed the scoring process of Sano, and then the standings next to it changed:

[Points ranking list:

First place: Sainuo (Xumi), 2 points.

Second place: Keli (Mond), 1 point.

Third place: Ah Mao (Xumi), 1 point.

Fourth place: Ying (traveler), 1 point.

Fifth place: Arataki Yidou (Inazuma), 1 point.

Sixth place: Xingqiu (Liyue), 1 point.

Seventh place: Fa Lushan (Xumi), 1 point.

Eighth place: Laila (Xumi), 1 point.

Ninth place: Scorpion (Xumi), 1 point.

Tenth place: Charlotte (Fontaine), 1 point. 】

A few hours into the game, Gale Disciplinary Sano scored the first point.

Not to mention the audience discussions at the two live broadcast locations of Xumi City and Chisha Headquarters,

The players participating in the competition in the desert began to get nervous.

They all received information about Xeno's score from the void terminal.

In a ruins,

Ah Mao flipped through the incomplete documents in his hand, his expression fluctuating slightly.

"Human nature is evil..." Ah Mao had a trace of disgust in his eyes, and the wind element surged, twisting the documents in the room into pieces.

As the inheritor of human evil, he did not like this statement.

The statement that human nature is inherently evil not only erases the goodness of human nature, but also erases the suffering experienced by many evil people.

In this world, if you can live a good life, how many people are willing to actually do evil?

In Ah Mao's view, human nature is pure and pure, and good and evil must have their causes.

The memory of the skirmisher was affecting him, but the memory of the wanderer was also affecting him.

His judgment on the concept of good and evil requires many people to be rigorous.

This was one of the reasons why he always considered himself a sinner.

After destroying the broken documents in the room, Ah Mao pondered for a moment.

"No wonder I'm asked to participate. It turns out there is such a level." There was a hint of sneer in his eyes, and Ah Mao raised his head slightly, "The competition is just an experiment, and you really have the demeanor of a scholar."

From this document room left by Saqin, Ah Mao has understood everything.

"A scholar who studies the evil of human nature, will he be tempted if an evil being like me appears in front of him and wins the championship~"

Ah Mao's eyes wandered, and his thoughts about winning the championship became more serious.
