“Oh my god! Keqing!” Ying and Paimon were even more surprised to see Keqing than when they heard that Wangsheng Hall was in the funeral business.

As one of the 'Five Permanent Tigers' who appeared in the permanent card pool long before Internet cafes were opened in Liyue, Keqing's existence makes it... difficult to comment.

At least half of the players who intended to draw a full-life for Venti or Klee collapsed when they saw that a gold card finally appeared in the card pool, but it turned out to be Keqing.

As for your question about why the other half of the players didn’t break through the defense?

Because the other half of the players got it wrong with 'Seven Seven'.

Ying and Paimeng are the half that always distort Keqing.

So when Ying and Paimon saw Keqing, they felt a bit like they were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder of war and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Keqing, who still didn't know what was going on, said: "..."

It’s strange. Ying and Paimeng didn’t react when they heard me say that Wangsheng Hall was a funeral business, but why did they act like they saw a ghost after seeing me?

"From a universal point of view, you shouldn't hide the true situation of our Rebirth Hall and try to fool the Traveler and Paimon." Zhongli, who was following Keqing with two buckets of instant noodles, also spoke at this time.

He looked speechlessly at Hu Tao, who had just walked away for a few minutes and then turned into a big liar. He thought that last night Hu Tao said that she wanted to invite Su Li to endorse Wangsheng Hall, and he had finally persuaded Hu Tao to give up the idea. How come in the blink of an eye, Hu Tao has set his sights on the Traveler and Paimon?

Zhongli looked at Ying and Paimeng apologetically and said, "Hello, I am a guest of Wangsheng Hall, Zhongli... If what Hall Master Hu said just now has caused you some trouble, then I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the Hall Master..."

"Hey, hey, hey! How dare you, guest, tear down my hall master in front of the travelers?"

……

"Friend, is this seat occupied?"

After the incident, Ying, who had become familiar with Hu Tao and the others and was sitting nearby, suddenly heard a male voice next to her. She turned her head and saw an orange-haired young man talking to the guest of the Wangsheng Hall who called himself "Zhongli".

After finishing his noodles, Zhongli, who was about to log into Genshin Impact to do his daily tasks, raised his head. When he sensed the faint power of the "evil eye" from the orange-haired young man next to him, his eyes fixed, and then he said calmly: "No one."

"Oh, thank you." Seeing that he finally found a seat, Tartaglia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When he first entered the Internet cafe, he was really shocked by the large number of customers in the Internet cafe.

Especially when he saw Mond people suddenly appearing in an endless stream from the corner of the Internet cafe, he was even more worried that he would arrive late and have no place to surf the Internet.

Fortunately.

For some reason, there was an empty seat next to the young man with a distinguished temperament. Fearing that there would be no room left in a while, Tartaglia took the seat without hesitation.

While waiting for the machine to start up, Tartaglia looked around and found that in addition to the mysterious Zhongli, he also saw a few "acquaintances".

"Yuhengxing Keqing? She is also surfing the Internet in this Internet cafe?" Tartaglia was a little surprised as he recalled the identity information about Keqing that he had learned from the Fatui intelligence network.

"Fortunately, few people know my identity. Otherwise, if this Yuheng Star knew that I was a member of the Fatui, I guess..."

Tartaglia silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Ying and Paimon on the other side.

"The Traveler and Paimon who were originally in Mondstadt have finally come to Liyue..."

Tartaglia was not surprised by the arrival of Ying and Paimon. After all, he felt that even if there was no sudden appearance of this Internet cafe and its owner, Ying and Paimon would come to Liyue sooner or later.

Compared to these, Tartaglia is now more concerned about whether the game plot has been updated after the Internet cafe opened in Liyue, and whether the Fatui's plan has been exposed.

……

Because she had 'never seen' the orange-haired young man sitting next to Zhongli, Ying just glanced at him and then turned her attention back to the game.

Looking at the previously empty task bar, a new task appeared. Ying's eyes lit up, knowing that the new plot had been updated.

at the same time.

Many players who had completed the main quests in Mondstadt and were ready to enter the game to work the land also discovered this new quest titled [Chapter 1, Act 1: Floating Life in the World, Among Thousand Rocks] that suddenly appeared in the quest bar.

"Hiss... the game plot has been updated? When did it happen?!"

"The plot has been updated? Is this true... Oh my god! It's really updated!"

"Look at the quest instructions. We are required to go from Mondstadt to Liyue. Sure enough, the new plot really takes place in Liyue!"

"So... in addition to seeing Mondstadt, a city that advocates freedom, we can also see Liyue, where we have always lived, in the game. We can even follow the Traveler's perspective and meet the 'big shots' that we can't usually see?!"

"Do you mean..."

"Yes! If I'm not mistaken, we can not only see the seven stars besides Lord Yuheng in the game! Or the legendary immortals! We even have a certain possibility of seeing our Lord Emperor in the game!"

"Cough cough..."

Hearing the sudden discussion around him, Zhongli, who also saw this new task, couldn't help but cough lightly. Hu Tao, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhongli, whose face was a little stiff, and asked curiously: "What's wrong, guest? Are you feeling unwell?"

“…Thank you for your concern, Hall Master. I’m fine.” Zhongli concealed the worry that flashed across his face. He looked at the meaningful task name and felt that his previous premonition was correct. It seemed that…something he didn’t want to see was really going to happen.

"I hope it's not what I think..."

Looking at the many Liyue people around him who were excitedly starting new tasks, Zhongli was silent for a moment. Feeling nervous but a little curious, he finally clicked on the task guide and started the task.

According to the quest instructions, start from the outskirts of Mondstadt. Because many players who have hoeed the land will activate all visible roadside teleportation anchors while running around, even if the map in the game is very large, after teleporting to the teleportation anchor point in Mondstadt, which is closest to Liyue, the Liyue Port in the game is no longer that far away.

After following the road and climbing over a long slope, a magnificent port city appeared in front of many players.

"Wow! Is this Liyue Harbor? So beautiful, so spectacular!" Paimon stared in amazement at the Liyue Harbor on the screen, which was completely different in style from Mondstadt. Although she was in Liyue now, she was only teleported directly to Liyue through the Internet cafe. She could not imagine that the overall look of Liyue Harbor was so shocking.

"It's not just Liyue Harbor, but even the Liyue-style building called 'Wangshu Inn' that I just passed by on the road, it gives me a heavy feeling of having gone through countless years and history." Ying looked at the Liyue Harbor in the game, which had just arrived at night and was lit up with thousands of lights, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Originally, he just wanted to do the quest casually, and then go interact with the Liyue Seven-Day Statue after completing the quest to see if Ying, who was unable to gain the ability to control the rock element, finally became serious, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Let me see... if I hadn't met the Internet cafe and Boss Su, according to the normal historical trajectory... what kind of 'interesting' things would I have experienced in this new country of Liyue."

Ying, who looked curious at this moment, obviously had not yet realized the 'seriousness' of the problem.

After entering Liyue Harbor.

At Paimon's suggestion, Ying, who didn't know the exact time and location of the [Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony], decided to ask the locals.

Just like that, they walked and asked all the way, and finally, confused Ying and Paimeng, who were almost lost in the huge Liyue Harbor, found the place where the ceremony of summoning the immortals was held - Yujing Terrace.

"This... this Liyue is too big! Although Mondstadt is not small, it is not so complicated!" Paimon, with stars in her eyes, held the 'game controller' given to her by Su Li, and looked at the large group of Liyue people gathered not far away in the picture. She knew she had found the right place and could not help but complain.

Before Ying could say anything, Paimeng in the game suddenly said, "I heard that wishes are always effective on the day of inviting the gods. Do you want to try it?"

[I hope to find my brother soon...]

Looking at the only option on the game screen, Ying was silent for three seconds and silently changed this wish to something else.

After all, her brother has been found, and with her help, he is living a "happy life". If she wishes to find him again, wouldn't that be a repetition?!

Kong, who was cleaning the Liyue Internet Cafe, said: Damn Abyss Cult! Didn’t you notice that I was missing for several days? Where did all the people go? ! ! !

Rosalyn: Work hard and don't be lazy!

"Ying, what wish did you make?" After making a wish, Paimeng suddenly asked Ying beside him.

"I won't tell you." Ying subconsciously glanced in the direction of the bar, but did not see the familiar figure.

Paimeng noticed Ying's gaze and suddenly said "oh" in a disdainful way, saying everything.

After making their wishes, Ying and Paimon returned to the center of the venue.

Because Paimon in the game kept complaining that there were too many people and he couldn't see anything at the back, in the plot animation, Ying and Paimon squeezed through the crowd and stood at the position closest to the center of the field.

Looking at herself and Paimon who had inexplicably come to the center of the venue, Ying, who had just blushed at Paimon's scornful expression, suddenly had a bad premonition.

But before she could figure out where that premonition came from, the beautiful woman who had been observing the sky in the center of the venue suddenly said, "The auspicious time has arrived."

Under the gaze of many players, Tianquan Star Ningguang in the game closed her eyes slightly, and several rock elemental creations as crystal clear as citrine appeared beside her.

Controlling these rock elemental creations and injecting them into the sacrificial furnace that had been set up in the center of the field, the energy circuits on the furnace lit up, and then in a burst of dazzling golden light, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Ying and Paimeng, who had never seen such a scene before, were so engrossed in watching it that they did not notice Zhongli, who was watching the scene silently on the side. It seemed that a drop of cold sweat was slowly sliding down his forehead.

As the exciting music sounded, the clear sky suddenly turned dark.

Amid the incredulous gazes and exclamations of the crowd, a huge dragon body fell from the clouds and smashed the altar to pieces.

In the game, Ningguang looked at the dragon body on the ground with its tongue sticking out in shock. After observing it carefully for a moment, she turned around with a solemn and cold expression.

"The emperor has been killed! Lock down the whole place!"

…ah?!
