Chapter 722: Dawn at the End of the Star Track
Section 1: A Celebration with Undercurrents
Bennett and Mika were standing on the parade float of the "Star Dome Festival" celebration, surrounded by a jubilant crowd, and cheers were pouring in like a tide. However, Bennett's eyes were firmly attracted by the strangeness in the sky. The originally orderly arrangement of the stars was quietly distorted, as if being manipulated by an invisible big hand, and the trajectory was chaotic. Mika noticed his abnormality, took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, Kaia from the Adventure Association rushed over, his face full of anxiety: "It's bad, the astrological anomaly caused the elemental turbulence, the stove in the tavern kitchen suddenly exploded, the fire element was out of control, and no one could get close!" When Bennett heard this, he rushed down to help without saying a word. Mika hurriedly reached out and grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive, have you forgotten that you were unlucky when you touched the fire element before?" Bennett scratched his head, stopped helplessly, his eyes full of worry.
Section 2: The Temptation of the Forbidden Star Map
After the celebration, Bennett and Mika sneaked into the library. There was a mysterious and ancient atmosphere here, and the bookshelves were piled with dusty books. In the corner, they found a fragment of a book called "Liyue Ancient Star Records". The paper was yellowed and the handwriting on it was blurred.
The two carefully wiped the pages of the book, and suddenly, a star map marked "Dangerous Star·Bo" emerged. The dusty star map emitted a faint light, as if hiding endless secrets. The gem in Mika's hand suddenly heated up, and the light echoed with the star map, and a strange power filled the air.
At this moment, the librarian suddenly appeared with flickering eyes. He quickly hid half of the star map and said in panic: "This thing will bring disaster, you'd better not touch it!" After that, he left in a hurry, leaving Bennett and Mika looking at each other.
Section 3: Night Exploration of Clues to "Dangerous Star"
Late at night, Bennett and Mika sneaked into the dock warehouse. There was a damp smell here, and the dim lights swayed in the wind. As soon as they entered the warehouse, they heard a fierce quarrel. Listening carefully, it turned out that the Beidou fleet was arguing with the mysterious businessman.
"The star stone fragments you sell are not produced in Liyue at all!" Beidou's voice was full of anger. The mysterious merchant looked cunning: "Humph, this is not an ordinary star stone, this is a treasure that can change your destiny." Bennett and Mika hid aside, watching the two sides on the verge of a fight. Suddenly, a star stone fragment in the mysterious merchant's hand emitted a strange blue light, which resonated with Mika's gemstone, and the clock in the warehouse began to reverse.
At this moment, the pendulum stopped, and a line of words was engraved on the back: "3:00 PM, South Pole Star". Bennett and Mika looked at each other, and an inexplicable tension and expectation surged in their hearts.
Section 4: Light novel trap
At 3:30 am, Bennett, Mika and Kaia secretly climbed onto the roof. In the night sky, a huge meteor with a long tail fell down. Kaia took out a telescope and observed carefully and exclaimed: "There is a crystal bottle behind the meteor, and there is a dandelion in the bottle!"
When Bennett heard this, his blood boiled and he said excitedly, "I'm going to pick it up! This is a rare treasure!" Then he jumped off the roof and ran after the shooting star. However, he forgot the luck halo he was wearing. The originally flat road suddenly became rugged and he missed a step and fell into the underground secret room.
The secret room was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, and the stone walls were engraved with symbols similar to the star map. Mika and Kaia quickly jumped down, and the three of them looked for a way out together. At this moment, the mechanism was activated, and a group of mechanical squirrels rushed out from the corner, holding dandelion seeds in their mouths and scattering them in the secret room.
Section 5: The truth behind the elemental explosion
The dandelion seeds planted by the mechanical squirrel sprouted instantly and grew into a huge dandelion turret. The muzzle was pointed at the three people, emitting a dangerous aura. Bennett tried to ignite the turret with the fire element, but he didn't expect to trigger a more violent elemental turbulence. The fire element and the wind element intertwined to form a chaotic storm.
At the critical moment, Mika's gemstone absorbed the surrounding blue light, and an ancient star projection appeared in front of everyone. The projection showed that five hundred years ago, the "dangerous star" was actually a meteorite carrying alien technology, and it chose Mond as its landing site. Now, the star track points to Mond again, and a crisis is about to come.
Section 6: Counterattack of reverse operation
After learning the truth, Bennett came up with a bizarre plan. He decided to bake a cake when the meteorite landed, and use the aroma to attract the meteorite to deviate from its orbit. Although this plan sounds incredible, Mika and Kaia still decide to go crazy with him.
They quickly gathered the materials and set up an oven on the open ground. Bennett skillfully mixed the flour, Mika injected wind elements to control the temperature, and Kaia used ice elements to keep the milk fresh. However, their plan caused the elements to repel each other, and the fire element collided with the wind element and the ice element, causing a small explosion.
Just when the three were in a state of dismay, the shock wave of the explosion unexpectedly pushed the meteorite out of orbit. It turned out that the resonance produced by the elemental reaction offset the gravity of the meteorite. A colorful aurora fireworks show bloomed over Mondstadt, and the beautiful light and shadow illuminated the entire night sky.
Section 7: The legend of winning easily
The next day, the Adventure Association received an anonymous thank-you letter and a meteorite fragment inlaid with dandelions. The signature was "A passing meteorite touched by the fragrance." After reading the letter, Bennett laughed triumphantly: "Haha, I said baking a cake would solve the problem!"
After research, the Adventure Association decided to transform the meteorite fragments into a new sign for the tavern - "Take a bite and your luck will double" (although the actual effect is unknown). The librarian quietly returned the half of the star map that he had hidden, and Kaeya wrote in the report: "The solution to this crisis - culinary suppression." Bennett and Mika's adventure has become a legendary story in Mondstadt.
