Genshin Impact: I Can Obtain Adventure EXP

"Alright."

As they approached the storm zone, the wind grew stronger. Just as everyone prepared to help pull in the sails, Nolan summoned several translucent threads, which appeared on the masts of the Alcor.

He effortlessly rolled up the sails and secured them with ropes.

The entire series of actions was so swift it left the crew, including Kazuha and Lumine, who were about to assist, momentarily stunned.

"You... did well," Beidou said, raising an eyebrow and marveling at how convenient his abilities were. She quickly turned to shout at the crew, "Make sure to return to the cabin before we enter the storm zone."

[Beidou Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 230 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv.5 (30/500)]

In the storm zone, there was always a risk of lightning strikes.

Although Beidou could deflect them, there was always the possibility of a mishap or being caught off-guard.

For safety reasons, it was better for everyone to stay inside the cabin.

After all, aside from her and Kazuha, whose strength was sufficient to withstand the lightning here, even the robust Sea Drake couldn't remain unharmed if struck.

"Understood, Captain!"

The crew responded in unison and quickly made their way into the cabin, returning to their quarters.

In no time, only Beidou, Kazuha, Nolan, and the others remained on the deck. Each one was a formidable fighter, more than capable of handling whatever might arise.

With Beidou personally at the helm, they sailed closer to the storm zone.

As for how the Alcor would continue to move after lowering its sails, that was where the rows of giant oars and propellers, powered by the crew, came in.

This was the advantage of "hybrid propulsion."

Nolan summoned his spiritual threads to assess their position. The Alcor was about five nautical miles from the storm zone, roughly 9,260 meters or nearly 10 kilometers.

"Ugh, even though we're still so far away, the dark clouds above already give off an incredibly oppressive feeling!"

Paimon, now hiding behind Lumine, spoke nervously.

"Paimon, if you're scared, you can hide in that guy's 'wonderland.' There's already a certain Miss Mona in there, so you won't be alone," Lumine said, glancing at Nolan.

The fierce sea breeze lifted the hem of Lumine's angled skirt, revealing glimpses of her white thigh-high boots and the skin above them, as well as her lantern-style shorts.

Nolan felt her gaze and awkwardly touched his jawline, choosing not to respond.

Even though Lumine and the others could tolerate Nolan's flirtatious behavior as long as their affection levels were high enough, small moments of jealousy were inevitable.

Now was the time to accept it without protest and play along.

"N-No way! As the traveler's best companion, how could I let you face danger alone?" Paimon said, shaking her head firmly, though her voice betrayed her bravado.

"Alright then, if the wind picks up later, hold onto my sash tightly so you don't get blown away."

Lumine's face softened with a smile.

"Hehe, no worries, I'll hold onto it right now." With that, Paimon reached out her small hands and grabbed Lumine's sash, which was also billowing in the wind.

Watching the two share such a close bond, Nolan smiled before turning his gaze back toward the storm zone.

At this moment, Nolan could sense the abnormally active Electro element in the air, which seemed more abundant than in a typical environment.

"Everyone, be cautious. The dense Electro element here will attract many Electro-related creatures that inhabit the storm zone. The closer we get to the center, the more numerous and dangerous these creatures become," Beidou, who had navigated the storm zone multiple times, advised the group with her seasoned insight.

"Monsters, huh? In that case, let me scout ahead." Nolan initially assumed there would be no living creatures in such a perilous area; after all, not even typical monsters would willingly approach such danger.

However, Electro-elemental creatures were different.

Just like those who wield Electro Visions, their bodies were enhanced by elemental power, giving them greater resistance to their element.

It was not surprising that Electro-aligned monsters could survive in the storm zone.

Reflecting on this, Nolan summoned the Sword God and sent it flying ahead to scout, intending to eliminate as many monsters as possible.

A month prior, the corpse of the giant sea beast that Nolan had slain had indeed attracted many monsters.

However, most of them had already been dispatched by him.

These battles had earned him a substantial number of Adventure EXP. Combined with the encounters over the past month, Nolan had accumulated 220,000 Adventure EXP on his character panel.

This amount was temporarily quite substantial.

Yet, as Ningguang once said, "You can never have too much Mora," and the same held true for Adventure EXP.

The EXP he currently held was only enough for two level-ups at best, far from the "do as you wish" realm he aspired to reach. There was no room for complacency.

Before long, the Sword God spotted a fierce-looking, dark black turtle emerging on the water's surface.

Its gaze was fixed skyward, seemingly captivated by the stormy sky, perpetually lit by flashes of lightning and roars of thunder.

[Level: 68]

With his [Golden Eye of Judgment] active, Nolan identified its strength and the weak spot on its neck.

He hadn't encountered such a monster before, so he curiously described its appearance and asked Beidou and Kazuha if they recognized it.

"This type of turtle is called a [Thunderous Giant Crocodile Turtle]. It usually inhabits deep-sea areas where Electro crystal deposits are found. The Electro density here must be so intense that even deep-sea creatures have been drawn to the surface," Kazuha explained.

"And they're quite aggressive. If we sail past, it will definitely attack us, so we should take it down if we can," Beidou added, her extensive knowledge of sea monsters evident.

"Alright."

Nolan nodded and directed the Sword God in the sky to strike the turtle's neck. In a flash of golden light, the turtle's head was severed before it could react.

[Defeated A Powerful Enemy. Obtained 8,083 Adventure EXP.]

Gaining so many Adventure EXP indicated the monster's considerable combat power.

As Nolan felt a wave of satisfaction and prepared to send the Sword God further, he instinctively looked up at the sky where the turtle had been staring.

The dark clouds rumbled as a lightning bolt streaked across, briefly illuminating the entire sky as brightly as day.

No, it was even brighter than daylight, like the sudden flash of a flare. In that instant, Nolan could see a purple figure previously hidden by the clouds.

It resembled a giant bat, its entire body crackling with lightning.

[Level: 91]

Nolan's pupils contracted slightly at the unexpectedly high level.

He recognized the purple creature—Thunder Manifestation!
