The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact

After Jia Changjiang left the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, Jean sat behind her desk, sipping her coffee.

"Accepting his challenge shouldn't be an issue… right?"

Though she felt a twinge of unease, Jean quickly refocused on the mountain of post-disaster reports she still had to process.

Meanwhile, outside the headquarters, a blue-haired knight with tanned skin and an eyepatch watched Jia Changjiang's retreating figure, his expression thoughtful.

Kaeya remained standing there until a red-haired figure approached him.

"Amber," he called out, stopping her mid-stride.

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

Jia Changjiang, having left the Knights' Headquarters, paid no attention to the gaze lingering on him.

As he strode through Mondstadt, his thoughts shifted to more practical matters: survival.

Clothing, food, shelter, transportation…

He could make do with his current outfit for now, and he didn't need anything fancy for transportation. But food and lodging? Those required Mora—something he only had a limited supply of, thanks to looting Hilichurls on his journey.

If he didn't find a way to earn money soon, he'd starve before he even got to spar with Jean.

"Jean's not the only strong one here. Mondstadt has plenty of powerful characters…"

Jia Changjiang brushed a hand along the haft of his battle axe.

"No rush," he muttered, shaking his head. "Jean was right—I don't have a Vision, so I can't manipulate elements."

Pausing to consider his options, a thought crossed his mind.

"Maybe I should register at the Adventurers' Guild and try adventuring?"

He clapped his hands together as if reaching a revelation.

"That way, I can fight to hone my skills and earn money! Perfect!"

With his new plan in mind, Jia Changjiang made his way to Katheryne, the guild receptionist, in Mondstadt's lower district.

Unbeknownst to him, a red-clad figure silently tailed him from a distance.

After a fair bit of walking, Jia Changjiang arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.

He watched as adventurers approached Katheryne to accept or submit missions, the system running with organized precision.

When he saw an opening, Jia Changjiang stepped forward.

"Miss Katheryne, can I register as an adventurer here?"

"Of course," Katheryne replied with her signature polite smile. "You're welcome to register at any time."

"Great! I'd like to sign up right now."

Wasting no time, Jia Changjiang officially became a newly minted adventurer in Mondstadt.

"By the way, Miss Katheryne, could you recommend a place to stay nearby?"

Having resolved his work situation, he turned to the next matter on his list: lodging.

"For short-term stays, there are several inns to the east," Katheryne informed him. "If you're looking for a longer-term residence, I can help you find available housing."

"Short-term will do for now. Thanks, Miss Katheryne."

Bidding her farewell, Jia Changjiang followed her directions toward the eastern inns.

As he entered one of the establishments, the red-clad figure trailing him stopped, choosing not to follow any further.

Back at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters…

"So, Kaeya, do you really think that guy's as suspicious as you said?"

Amber crossed her arms and gave the Cavalry Captain a skeptical look after reporting what she'd seen.

Kaeya, leaning casually against a wall, replied smoothly.

"Of course. He marched straight into the city and immediately issued a challenge to Jean."

Amber blinked in surprise.

"And his battle axe—you saw it, didn't you? That weapon has seen countless battles. Even if he's not a bad person, it's our duty to keep an eye on someone like him," Kaeya continued.

Amber mulled it over, eventually nodding.

"Hmm… okay, you have a point."

Kaeya chuckled lightly.

"So, until he challenges the Acting Grand Master again, Amber, I'll leave it to you to keep an eye on him."

"Fine, but when this is over, you owe me a Moon Pie!"

"Deal."

In his rented inn room, Jia Changjiang sat cross-legged on the bed, counting his Mora one by one.

He was grateful for the encounters with Hilichurls over the past two days—without those, he wouldn't even have enough to afford lodging.

Still, the amount he had wasn't enough to sustain him for long. He needed to start completing commissions and earning money as soon as possible.

"Damn it," Jia Changjiang muttered, tossing the coin pouch aside.

"In the game, I was this unstoppable berserker who didn't care where I was or who I was fighting. But now I'm stuck worrying about basic survival."

He picked up a single Mora coin and began idly toying with it, lying back on the bed.

"System, I've got time now. Come out and let me check you out."

[Welcome.]

A soft, mechanical voice chimed in as a simple, user-friendly interface materialized in front of him.

"Hmm, so this system of mine… so far, all it's done is give me that mission to take down Stormterror," Jia Changjiang muttered.

"Is there really nothing else to it?"

Flipping through the options, he suddenly noticed one labeled Analysis.

"'Analysis activated?'"

Curious, he toggled the feature.

The next moment, text appeared over the coin in his hand.

[Mora: A creation of the Geo Archon Morax. Can be used as currency or alchemical material. When thrown, it generates a small Geo explosion upon impact.]

"...Huh?"

Jia Changjiang sat up, staring at the description in disbelief.

"Mora… can be used as a weapon?"

"Is this like some kind of 'throwing money to deal damage' ability?!"

Images filled his mind—him, hurling handfuls of Mora like grenades, creating a barrage of explosions.

"All Things Move, Toss the Heavens and the Earth!"

Excitement welled up as he realized just how expansive the potential of his Weapon Master ability truly was.
