Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Arriving in Teyvat, Crashing into Stormterror at the Start

Belobog.

Lower District.

The empty town.

The Star Rail Train quietly stopped in place.

Inside the carriage, Luo Feng, acting as the Navigator, was leisurely walking inside the Astral Express.

"With my current ability, I should be invincible in Teyvat."

"It shouldn't be difficult to help Natasha and Seele get supplies in Teyvat."

"As for mora, I can charge a certain fee under the name of traveling the Star Rail world."

"Hmm... speaking of which, I seem to be able to work as a tour guide."

"Helping Teyvat Passengers embark on a Path while also running a Star Rail travel agency or something seems pretty good too."

A little while later.

Luo Feng stopped, looking at the phonograph in front of him that was identical to the one in the game, and muttered:

"It's truly amazing, the environment inside the Astral Express is almost exactly the same as the environment inside Himeko's Astral Express."

"Even the furnishings are very similar."

"If there's a difference, it's probably that I'm the only one inside my Astral Express."

"There's no March 7th, Himeko, and no Pam."

"But thankfully, after arriving in Teyvat."

"I can invite some familiar Tivat People to become passengers on the Astral Express."

"I wonder what kind of mood the Tivat People will be in when they see the sights outside of Teyvat."

Luo Feng smiled and shook his head, focusing his attention on the Astral Express control interface.

"Well, it's time to set off."

"Destination, Teyvat Continent."

"Star Rail Train, set sail!"

With Luo Feng's command.

The Star Rail Train instantly activated, turning into a light arrow and disappearing into thin air.

...

On the other side.

Teyvat Continent.

Mondstadt, Starfell Valley.

"Are these people here to hunt me with you?"

Stormterror Dvalin stirred up a fierce wind.

He roared at Venti, Lumine, Paimon, Jean, Diluc, and the others.

"No, that's not it..."

Venti said with a worried frown.

"Hehehe, this dragon should go serve its new master."

The Abyss Mage floated onto Stormterror's back.

It provocatively looked at Venti, Lumine, and the others.

Just then.

An Astral Express suddenly appeared out of the Void.

It directly knocked Stormterror and the Abyss Mage back dozens of meters.

"Wh-what happened?!"

"What is that thing?!"

Paimon's eyes widened, unable to believe that Stormterror, who had been so imposing just moments ago, would suddenly be knocked away by a strange vehicle.

"Is that... a train?"

Lumine said in surprise.

"A train? Like the water trains in Fontaine?"

"But this Astral Express... it's floating in the air?"

Jean exclaimed in shock.

"This Astral Express appeared suddenly, everyone be careful."

"Also, we need to be careful about Stormterror."

Diluc said guardedly.

Venti looked left at Dvalin, who still seemed dizzy, and right at the Astral Express, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Oh dear, there was an accident involving hitting someone... no, hitting a dragon."

"Um, can I say it wasn't intentional."

As the voice appeared, the Astral Express door opened, and Luo Feng jumped from the Astral Express onto the Starfell Valley grass with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Because it was his first time arriving on the Teyvat Continent.

Therefore, the landing spot of the Astral Express was random.

Luo Feng dared to swear on his conscience.

He absolutely had no intention of deliberately knocking Dvalin away.

Lumine looked at Luo Feng in front of her, just about to speak and ask.

Suddenly, Stormterror nearby let out a violent gust of wind, heading towards Luo Feng, Lumine, and the others.

Along with the gust of wind came Stormterror's furious roar.

"Barbatos, you still say you didn't come with the intention of hunting me?"

Venti: "Everyone be careful!"

Venti conjured a wind wall, quickly blocking the incoming gust of wind.

Saving Lumine and the others from being blown away.

"This... you've misunderstood, Mr. Stormterror."

"I have no intention of hunting you."

"In fact, I'm not even with these people."

Luo Feng pointed at Venti and the others, speaking to Stormterror through the wind wall.

"Shut up!"

Stormterror clearly didn't want to listen to Luo Feng's explanation, and with a wave of its hand, it conjured an even stronger and larger gust of wind.

In fact, a wind bullet even broke through Venti's wind wall and arrived in front of Luo Feng in an instant.

But Luo Feng seemed not to have noticed, standing still in place.

Swish!

A sword shadow flashed, cutting through the incoming wind bullet.

Luo Feng looked up, and what met his eyes was a very beautiful butt.

'The soul of Mondstadt, the butt of Acting Grand Master Jean.'

'The ancients truly didn't deceive me.'

Luo Feng looked at Acting Grand Master Jean in front of him, sighing with emotion in his heart.

"Please be careful, Stormterror has lost its reason."

"It won't accept your apology."

"So, please hide behind me."

Jean said.

She didn't know what Luo Feng was thinking.

And she didn't sense any elemental power from Luo Feng.

Therefore, she only considered Luo Feng an ordinary person.

Although she didn't know Luo Feng.

Her identity as a knight led her to draw her sword and protect Luo Feng.

"Actually, I have a way to protect myself."

Luo Feng said.

"Now is not the time to show off."

"If you don't want to get hurt, step back."

Diluc also drew his greatsword.

He looked at Stormterror, who seemed to be getting increasingly enraged, with vigilance.

"Exactly, exactly, as an ordinary person, you should hide at a time like this."

Paimon said.

Although Lumine didn't speak, she also stood in front of Luo Feng with her sword drawn.

Clearly treating Luo Feng as someone to be protected.

As for Venti, who was on the front line of defense, he temporarily had no opportunity to talk to Luo Feng.

Seeing that Venti seemed to be at a disadvantage, Jean, Diluc, and Lumine immediately rushed forward to help Venti fend off Dvalin's rage.

"See, it's all your fault."

"If it weren't for you, Dvalin wouldn't be so angry."

"And you're making everyone protect you."

Paimon floated in front of Luo Feng, pouting.

Luo Feng: "You say that as if you're not being protected."

Paimon: "I'm already in the group being protected, unlike you, the guy who suddenly appeared."

Luo Feng: "Oh..."

Paimon: "What's with that expression?"

Luo Feng: "Oh..."

Paimon: "Damn it, I'm going to give you an ugly nickname!"

Paimon hadn't even had time to think of an ugly nickname suitable for Luo Feng.

Lumine, who was defending in front, was suddenly caught by the gust of wind and sent flying towards Paimon.

Seeing that Paimon was about to be knocked away.

Luo Feng quickly reached out and wrapped an arm around Lumine's waist.

"Lumine, are you okay?"

Paimon said nervously.

"N-no, I'm fine." Lumine nodded at Paimon, then looked at Luo Feng with some confusion. "Um, thank you."

In her eyes, Luo Feng should have been an ordinary person.

But the strength with which Luo Feng caught her just now was clearly not something an ordinary person should possess.

"It's nothing, just lending a hand."

Luo Feng laughed.

"Um, could you please put me down?"

"I'm not quite used to this posture."

Lumine glanced at herself, curled up and hanging from Luo Feng's hand, and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Alright."

Luo Feng nodded slightly and released his hand.

Lumine, caught off guard for a moment, fell directly onto the grass.

"I said, couldn't you have put me down slowly... or not?"

Lumine raised her head, intending to complain to Luo Feng.

Just then, she saw Luo Feng holding Jean in a princess carry after Jean was knocked away by Stormterror's wind.

"Isn't the difference a bit too big?"

Lumine thought of the scene where she was previously tucked under Luo Feng's arm.

Then she looked at how Jean was being held by Luo Feng, and the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.

"It's just because Jean's angle of flight was more suitable for catching her like that."

Luo Feng heard Lumine's complaint, turned his head, and responded with a smile.

Paimon: "Really? It's not because you think Jean has a better figure than Lumine, so you caught the two of them in different ways, is it?"

Lumine: "It's decided, tonight's dinner will be emergency food."

Paimon: "Damn it, Paimon is not emergency food!"

Diluc: "If you don't come up and help, we'll probably all become Stormterror's dinner."

Diluc's voice, struggling to resist Stormterror's fury with Venti, came through and immediately brought Paimon and Lumine back to their senses.

It also made the somewhat exhausted Jean want to get up.

"Get some good rest, this lady."

"Next, please leave it to me to handle."

After Luo Feng put Jean down, he pressed on her shoulder.

Jean: "You..."

Luo Feng: "I said, I have the power to protect myself."

With that, Luo Feng quickly walked towards the direction of Stormterror.

"Hey, don't act tough!"

Seeing this, Paimon shouted loudly.

Just at this moment.

A long spear shining with a warm light appeared in Luo Feng's hand.

Along with the appearance of the long spear, an astonishing aura rose from Luo Feng.

"You!"

Paimon's eyes widened.

Even she, at this moment, sensed Luo Feng's extraordinary nature.

Venti, Lumine, Jean, Diluc, and the others also cast surprised glances towards Luo Feng.

"Similarly, I also have the power to help everyone."

Luo Feng, with a faint smile, holding the long spear that was already burning with a faint flame, came before Diluc and Venti.

"This is..." Luo Feng held the Flame Lance in front of him, the imaginary energy transforming into The Path of Preservation. "...the Amber of Blazing Immortality!"

The next moment.

Jean, Lumine, Paimon, Venti, Diluc, and the others shone with a golden light.
