The Gamer who traveled to Honkai: Star Rail

Chapter 236: Chapter 235: The Abundant Harvest (Part 1)



Master Gongshu, witnessing the Abundant Ebon Deer alive on Xianzhou for the first time, was struck with disbelief. Wait! Pei Guang and his group weren't Denizens of Abundance, and they certainly hadn't gained the power of abundance. It was fine—they were just abominations, which wasn't a big deal.

Pei Guang and Stelle didn't stop their actions. As the guardian of the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor, the Abundant Ebon Deer was continuously absorbing the energy from the tree's roots. The immense power of abundance healed its body.

It didn't have a core or anything similar; its life force was simply incredibly strong. After taking a fatal blow, it would regenerate from the most vital parts of its body.

At this moment, Pei Guang's team was moving swiftly—within the blink of an eye, they could slice through its meat and limbs. However, Stelle was working a bit slower. Her chainsaw was powerful, but its cutting speed couldn't keep up with the regeneration speed of the deer.

While cutting, Stelle anxiously asked, "Ah Guang! My efficiency is low! Is there any way to speed things up?"

Pei Guang thought for a moment and then said with a glint in his eye, "I know what to do now. It's simple! Let me make some weapons for you. You handle the cutting, I'll prepare some handy tools for you."

As he spoke, Pei Guang moved over to where March 7th and Bailu were happily synthesizing various consumables and items. Seeing Pei Guang approach, March 7th curiously asked, "What's up, Ah Guang? Need us to do something?"

Pei Guang grinned, "Nope, I'm just making a few tools to help increase Stelle's efficiency. Let me take a look!"

Pei Guang glanced at the synthesis recipes, and sure enough, these two had randomly synthesized quite a few strange materials, which were exactly what he needed.

Looking at the materials with excitement, Pei Guang said, "As expected, this deer is a treasure! After synthesis, these materials can be made into weapons and equipment. Let me give it a try."

Pei Guang used deer bones, deer hide, and some coffee to synthesize materials that weren't affected by the power of abundance, then used them to craft bone knives, bone axes, bone shovels, and various tools.

Pei Guang believed that his weapons could constantly evolve, upgrading to meet various needs. While Stelle could obtain various weapons, she needed to master each one to adapt to different enemies.

In this case, it would be simpler to more efficiently gather specific materials. Like in many games, if you want to harvest certain materials from a monster, you need to defeat that monster and collect the materials it drops!

Pei Guang applied this theory, using the materials from the Abundant Ebon Deer that had been synthesized into basic components to make tools.

After crafting bone knives, bone shovels, bone axes, and bone saws, Pei Guang handed the tools over to Stelle.

"Here, try these out!"

Stelle took the bone tools and immediately started using them. After using them, her eyes lit up. "These are so much better! The chainsaw doesn't work that well, but this knife cuts meat off easily. This new chainsaw can easily cut through the antlers, and this axe? A little force and the bones break right off!"

Pei Guang grinned, "Traditional skills! Remember, if you're not satisfied with the efficiency when harvesting certain enemy materials, just use that enemy's materials—or even better, a stronger version of that enemy's materials to craft your tools. Just chop away. By the way, the deer hide is pretty great. I put it on my trash can lid, and it added a lot of defense, even reflecting 5% of the damage."

At this point, Stelle noticed that the trash can lid Pei Guang had on his head and the box lid hanging from his arm were both covered with deer hide. Seeing this, Stelle worked even harder.

They kept at it—tearing muscles, stripping bones, pulling teeth. From the antlers and the large peaches on them, to the hooves, tail, and the internal organs and flesh—it was a full dissection.

At first, the two weren't very skilled, but gradually, they became more professional.

Meanwhile, the Ambrosial Arbor's roots sensed the massive threat in the area and began to funnel all their energy into the Abundant Ebon Deer, effectively giving it the power gathered by the Artisanship Commission.

Unfortunately, despite its ability to instantly regenerate due to the powerful force of abundance, after each regeneration, the Abundant Ebon Deer was immediately struck by Pei Guang and Stelle, and within the blink of an eye, whatever could be dismantled was already dismantled.

Thanks to the large amount of energy it received, Pei Guang made another discovery: if the deer used its hooves to strike the ground, it could summon Ambrosial Arbor roots and flower buds to emerge from the ground.

As a guardian of the roots, the deer naturally had the ability to summon some of the tree's roots to assist it!

Having discovered a new feature, he spoke to Stelle and March 7th.

"New feature discovered! Release the puppets, we need some help. Too bad, we're short on manpower!"

Stelle: "So we just hit a flower bud, right? These flower buds are good stuff!"

Pei Guang: "Yeah! Let's go! Get moving, I doubt this deer can last much longer. Its revival speed has gone from an instant to one second now. We need to harvest as much as we can before it collapses."

March 7th: "Okay, okay~ releasing the Herta Puppets now~"

At this point, Herta Puppet No. 1 stepped out, looking around and crossing its arms as it gazed at Pei Guang.

"I've got to ask, what have you been up to while I wasn't looking?"

Pei Guang: "Hmm? Where did you learn all these words? Oh, right, it's me. Never mind. You guys have a simple task now. I'll give you some deer hooves. Just hit them on the ground around me. This will summon the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor. Keep hitting them, and I'll use them to make top-tier tools."

Herta Puppet No. 1: "Sure~ But just a reminder, you might want to send some of this interesting stuff to our main body. Trust me, she'll make you something really useful."

The Herta Puppets had now all taken on Pei Guang's temperament. 

As for who's the "main body"? They weren't really familiar, but they were keen on helping Pei Guang out and having a bit of fun while at it.

So, each puppet grabbed a deer hoof and started banging it on the ground. With each strike, a flower bud connected to the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor appeared. Since everything was happening around Pei Guang, he quickly chopped them up.
