Chapter 122

Stelle: "What do you mean 'standing and talking doesn't hurt your back'?"

Stelle: "You've already become an Emanator of Erudition, of course you don't think it's hard!"

Paimon: "Huh?!"

Paimon: "Ms. Herta is actually an Emanator of the Aeon of Erudition?!"

Paimon: "Wow, she's also a super big shot!"

Venti: "To be able to become an Emanator of Erudition... how powerful must this brain be?!"

Zhongli: "By general rational standards, it is probably the peak of wisdom in the universe."

Nahida: "The peak of wisdom in the universe... it's truly fascinating..."

Lumine: "There are too many big shots in the universe."

Lumine: "I feel like any one of them pulled out is an incredible person."

Stelle: "Hey, I feel like I'll be a big shot soon too!"

Stelle: "After all, my reputation as the Galaxy Baseballer is already spreading in the universe!"

March 7th: "Look at you getting all full of yourself, make yourself stronger before you talk big!"

March 7th: "So you don't get bullied in the future!"

Stelle: "Who dares to bully me?"

Stelle: "Don't you know my good brother is Aventurine?"

Stelle: "Or don't you know I'm friends with General Jing Yuan?"

Stelle: "Or don't you know I'm a close experimental partner with Ms. Herta of the Genius Society?"

Xiangling: "Such... such a solid background!!"

Hu Tao: "With this background, you could probably walk sideways through the universe!"

Silver Wolf: "Tsk, just pulling a tiger's skin to act as a banner."

Silver Wolf: "It's fine for scaring small forces."

Silver Wolf: "Big forces don't buy this at all."

Stelle: "You're right, so it's better to ignite the sea!!"

Stelle: "Firefly, if anyone bullies me in the future, you have to protect me!!!"

Firefly: "Uh... o... okay!"

Firefly: "With me here, I definitely won't let anyone bully you!"

Silver Wolf: "Tsk tsk, you just spoil her!"

Before Boothill could finish,

Dan Heng walked to the table,

and picked up the half-piece of jade pendant placed on it.

[Recognize this?]

Dan Heng showed it to Boothill.

[Huh?]

[This is—damn it, an Alliance Jade Abacus?!]

[The Luofu Xianzhou actually gave this thing to you?!]

Boothill looked at the Alliance Jade Abacus,

showing a surprised expression.

[Treasure, treasure...?]

Pom-Pom listened to Boothill's words,

and showed a confused expression.

[This is the Jade Abacus gifted to the Express by General Jing Yuan of the Luofu Xianzhou Luofu.]

[With this object on the train, it is the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance's certification of the Astral Express's identity.]

[Is that enough?]

Navia: "Alliance... Jade Abacus?"

Navia: "What is this?"

Navia: "Why would Mr. Boothill be so surprised after seeing it?"

Boothill: "Of course I'd be surprised!"

Boothill: "This is an Alliance Jade Abacus!!"

Boothill: "I didn't expect your Astral Express to actually get this thing!"

Boothill: "It seems you've done the Luofu Xianzhou a huge favor!"

Fu Xuan: "That's right, the Astral Express extended a helping hand some time ago, saving the Luofu Xianzhou Luofu from a great disaster."

Fu Xuan: "Therefore, the General thought carefully and gifted this precious Alliance Jade Abacus to the Express Crew to show his gratitude!"

Furina: "So what exactly is the use of this thing?"

Dr. Ratio: "The Alliance Jade Abacus of the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance..."

Dr. Ratio: "As far as I know, it is a treasure-level token that can unconditionally obtain the protection of the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance at a critical moment."

Hu Tao: "Obtain the protection of the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance?"

Dr. Ratio: "Simply put, as long as you hold this token, no matter where you are or what crisis you encounter, as long as you activate it!"

Dr. Ratio: "Then the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance will unconditionally dispatch reinforcements across the vast sea of stars to help you get out of the crisis!"

Boothill: "Heh, it's more than that."

Boothill: "If the crisis you encounter is truly huge, then even the Generals of the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance will rush to help you regardless of their own safety!"

Boothill: "So... can you understand how important this thing is now?"

Furina: "It can even mobilize the Luofu Xianzhou Generals!"

Furina: "Those are super big shots at the Emanator level!"

Zhongli: "If that's the case, this Alliance Jade Abacus is equivalent to a powerful 'get out of jail free' card..."

Venti: "Hehe, it really is a good thing beyond imagination!"

Venti: "If we in Teyvat were lucky enough to get this, wouldn't we be able to sleep without worries?"

Paimon: "Bard, don't dream."

Paimon: "How could we possibly get such a treasure?"

Fu Xuan: "The Alliance Jade Abacus is generally only issued to allies who have done a great favor to the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance."

Fu Xuan: "So, if you do such things in the future, it's not impossible to get an Alliance Jade Abacus."

Yanfei: "A great favor to the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance?"

Yanfei: "Mm... sounds like something Teyvat could never do in a lifetime..."

The video continues.

[...Fine, kid.]

[No matter how vast the galaxy is, just a gentle grip can summon thousands of Cloud Knights...]

[Damn, how spectacular that must be.]

Boothill was a connoisseur,

this Alliance Jade Abacus was clearly enough to prove the identity of the Astral Express,

so he put away his gun.

[Now it's your turn.]

Dan Heng began to let Boothill prove his identity.

[The Galaxy Rangers have been away from the spotlight for too long, we don't have such recognized good things.]

[But I've seen this kind of occasion many times, and the solution is very simple...]

[Come on, you can ask me anything, and see if my answers can win your trust.]

[If you really think it's suspicious, it won't be too late to let me leave then.]

Boothill gave Dan Heng a method.

[Why should I cooperate with you?]

Dan Heng asked back.

[If I really am a Galaxy Ranger, you definitely won't lose out by doing this.]

Boothill answered confidently.

[...]

[Tell me, what kind of organization is the Galaxy Rangers?]

Dan Heng was silent for a while,

and began to ask.

[Ha, brother, that's a hard question to answer.]

[I can hardly say we are an organization.]

[It's nothing more than everyone walking on the Path of the Hunt, all having their own firm justice, and none of us are... welcomed by so-called universal values.]

Boothill's tone was a bit perfunctory.

[This kind of answer won't get trust, it will only make your situation more dangerous.]

Dan Heng didn't buy Boothill's answer.

[I guess you want to ask about some common belief?]

[But Galaxy Rangers don't need that kind of thing, we gather together based on a common bottom line.]

[Do not bully the weak, do not kill the innocent...]

[These vows are not some high-and-mighty beliefs, but the bottom line that one should never violate.]

[As Galaxy Rangers, we only look at the bottom line, and whenever someone tramples on it, the revenge of the Hunt will come knocking.]

[And this is where the other meaning of the bottom line comes in—as long as you don't touch it, you can do whatever you want, understand?]

Diluc: "No so-called vows, only a common bottom line?"

Diluc: "This is a true hero!"

Furina: "The organization of Galaxy Rangers gives me the feeling of truly helping the weak with strength!"

Furina: "Looking at the Family... I don't seem to see any helping the weak with strength at all?"

Hu Tao: "Yes, I feel the same way."

Hu Tao: "Is this not the philosophy of Harmony at all, or did the Family distort Harmony?"

Himeko: "It should be... not everyone in the Family is practicing the true philosophy of Harmony..."

Miss Qingque: "Tsk, to maintain justice, we really have to rely on our Hunt!"

Stelle: "Well said!"

Stelle: "So when can the Emperor Bow give me some power of the Hunt to use?"

Stelle: "I don't ask for a great Divine Lord like General Jing Yuan, just give me a small Divine Lord!"

Jing Yuan: "Hahaha, that will have to wait until the Emperor Bow recognizes you."
