Genshin Impact: Quietly Investing for Six Thousand Years

After three rounds of drinks, the sky lights outside the building flickered, and Chen Mo pulled out Xiao, who was sleeping soundly under the table.

Xiao opened his eyes drowsily. Chen Mo gave a wicked smile, picked up the wine jug, and prepared to drink two more glasses.

"Old friend, that's enough." Zhongli took a closer look and quickly stopped him.

Xiao is a very honest child, but he is not good at drinking.

Chen Mo could only let Xiao go back in disappointment.

"Whoo~"

After being rescued by Zhongli, Xiao hugged the chair, still looking dazed.

Yasha's instinct told him that he had just escaped a disaster.

"Damn, second brother, drink!" Wendy's face flushed. She picked up the wine jug and drank it all in one gulp without waiting for Chen Mo to move.

"Third brother, you are so generous!" Chen Mo put down his wine cup and gave a thumbs up.

The eldest brother Zhongli silently drank the tea brewed by Gui Zhong. He had drunk enough today, so he drank some tea to wake himself up.

After drinking for a long time, Chen Mo felt a little dizzy and asked, "Wendy, did you put drugs in the wine? Why do I feel dizzy?"

Hearing this, the four women at the table raised their heads at the same time, took a look, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Gui Zhong sipped his tea, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he made a clicking sound.

"Hey! Burp~" Wendy screamed and burped.

His eyes were a little blurry, and he leaned on Chen Mo's shoulder, "I have a wine that is several hundred years old, so it's not normal for it to be strong."

He glanced under the table and warned, "Don't use immortal power or elemental power to block it! Otherwise, you will end up like this Yaksha."

Chen Mo let the immortal power flow in his body, and indeed he felt much better.

No wonder he felt dizzy, he drank a little too much just now. He must be using his magical power to block it.

Chen Mo pushed him aside in disgust, "What's wrong with you?"

If Wendy knew that, why was she still so drunk?

Wendy chuckled and raised the wine jug, "Since we're drinking, how can it be fun if we don't get drunk?"

"Speaking of which, Chen Mo, I've never seen you drunk before."

Chen Mo subconsciously glanced at A Ping, and saw that they were talking in a low voice, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Chen Mo said unhappily.

"Have a couple more drinks with me! I'll tell you in secret about Thor's sister's hobby." Wendy came over, looking like a thief.

Chen Mo sneered and said, "I have been in Inazuma for hundreds of years. How could I not know her hobbies?"

I know what position she likes to sleep in!

Do I need you to tell me?

Wendy sighed in disappointment and drank again.

Great!

Chen Mo nodded beside him. At the rate that Wendy was drinking, the first god in Teyvat who fell from wine might be born.

"Everyone has almost finished eating, let's play a game." Gui Zhong stood up and clapped his hands.

Everyone raised their heads upon hearing this, and four pairs of jade hands under the table clasped their hands nervously...

Xiao was still lying there, sleeping soundly, with a peaceful expression.

"Games? Great! I love playing!" Wendy was the first to raise her hand to sign up.

"Okay." Zhongli also joined in.

Chen Mo always had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at the four women suspiciously, but his expression remained normal, as he also waited for Gui Zhong's next words.

Exhaling, Chen Mo said: "I'll join in too!"

Gui Zhong smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Since everyone agrees, I will announce the content of the game."

"The game we play is called 'Truth or Dare'. You roll the dice or spin the bottle, and whoever it points to has to choose truth or dare according to the rules."

The whole place was silent, and then everyone looked at Chen Mo who was backing out.

The corner of Chen Mo's eye twitched, and he realized that it seemed that he couldn't avoid it, so he could only go ahead with it.

You really want to force me to cheat, right?

At the same time, the seven stars in his body were shaking wildly, and the Purple Star also emitted a ray of starlight. They all sensed Chen Mo's crisis.

"In that case, let's get started!" Gui Zhong clapped his hands.

Zhongli waved his sleeves and the table became clean in an instant.

Several dice made of rock elements and the bottle of wine in Wendy's hand were placed on the table.

"A wine bottle!" Chen Mo said.

At times like this, the simpler things are, the better you can grasp the situation.

Zhongli nodded, and the dice turned into golden light and disappeared.

"Let's start!" Gui Zhong said, and gently moved the mouth of the bottle with her bare hands.

The bottle kept spinning and everyone's faces were calm.

After a while, the bottle was still turning.

Gui Zhong sighed and said, "Everyone, it's no fun to play like this."

Everyone looked calm and no one spoke.

"How about this! Everyone knows Zhongli's character, how about letting him be responsible for spinning the bottles?" Wendy suggested.

"Okay, I will sign a contract and will never show favoritism." Zhongli stood up and stretched out his hand.

Everyone nodded, they still recognized the title of God of Contract.

Zhongli moved the bottle mouth, and the bottle slowly turned...

Finally, it slowly stopped in front of Wendy.

"Hey! It's me. Should I say I'm lucky? Or unlucky?" Wendy spread her hands helplessly.

I didn't expect to be stabbed in the back by my own wine bottle.

"Mr. Wendy, you choose truth or dare."

"The big risk is that you can't drink for a month." Chen Mo said lightly.

"Eh? Is it so cruel?" Wendy made a bitter face and finally chose 'truth'.

"Can I ask a few questions?" Chen Mo looked at Gui Zhong and asked.

"Elect a representative and you can only ask one question." Gui Zhong raised a slender white finger.

"The person standing in front of us now is none other than Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt. Do you have any questions?" Chen Mo decisively revealed Wendy's true identity.

None of them showed much surprise on their faces. After all, the only person who could know Chen Mo and have such a good relationship with Zhongli was the Wind God of Mondstadt.

The vest fell off, Wendy sighed, looked at Chen Mo, and didn't know whether to say xxx...

Chen Mo and Wendy were very familiar with each other and knew each other well. Chen Mo really had nothing to ask Wendy, so he turned around and asked, "Do you have anything you want to ask?"

Liuyun, Heulia, and Aping all shook their heads. Guizhong thought for a moment and shook his head again. Only Ganyu lowered her head with a struggling look in her eyes...

"Ganyu..." Chen Mo called softly.

Ganyu exhaled, stood up, looked at Wendy, and bowed first.

Wendy agreed with a smile, after all, he was the God of Wind.

"Excuse me, Lord Wind God, is your management style of Mondstadt a little too liberal?" Ganyu asked after hesitating for a while.

Ganyu has always wanted to ask this question. After all, she works at Yuehaiting and has endless work to do every day, and sometimes she has to work overtime until late at night.

"Well..." Wendy scratched her cheek, and finally spread her hands and sighed:

"Since you want to listen, I'll tell you..."

"...Since Mondstadt was founded, I told them to "build a free city-state with no one as king". Besides, I don't like ruling... I don't think Mondstadt would like it either."

After saying that, Wendy shrugged and looked at Chen Mo as if to say, "Are you satisfied?"

Zhongli pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. Ganyu bowed slightly and returned to her seat.

Wendy sat down and glared at Chen Mo, “Just wait for me!”

Chen Mo smiled and said nothing. Who doesn't know how to make threats?

Point at me first, then talk.

Zhongli glanced around and a steady voice sounded.

"Next round, let's begin!"

The wine bottle spun and finally stopped in front of Guizhong.

Chen Mo and Wendy were stunned. "Old man, you really don't recognize your relatives? Aren't you afraid of having to kneel on the washboard when you go back?"

After turning the wine bottle, Zhongli sat down to drink tea. He was just abiding by the terms of the contract.

"Can I tell you?" Gui Zhong looked at an old man who was drinking tea.

She chose truth.

What they wanted to ask was nothing more than the story between them and Zhongli.

"Just say it." Zhongli stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Gui Zhong had a dazed look on her face, and she slowly said with her pink lips slightly opened:

After Zhongli came back from Kanreya, he looked dazed and didn't talk every day. He walked aimlessly in Liyue Harbor. I followed him. Wherever he went, I went!

I know that Ah Mo's death in front of him was a huge blow to him, so I could only stay with him, talk to him, and walk with him...

Until one day, we rescued an old man who accidentally fell while collecting herbs in the mountains, and Zhongli sent him to the clinic.

The old man said, "Is this your wife? She is so good to you and always stays with you. This is a very sincere relationship. You will definitely regret it if you lose her!"

"Just when I thought Zhongli would say we were just friends..." Guizhong laughed, tears welling up in his eyes, his voice trembling. "He actually nodded, saying that Guizhong has been with me for a long time, and I will always be with her in the future..."

It took five hundred years of uninterrupted companionship to melt the heart of this rock.

Chen Mo was speechless for a long time. When the War of Kanreya broke out, he received a letter from Zhongli, and then went with Bal, and finally died in Kanreya.

That was supposed to be the duty of the Seven Gods, but an old friend who had known each other for many years was dragged into it and eventually died. Chen Mo could hardly imagine how Zhongli felt. The things he cherished disappeared before his eyes and turned into dust...

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be nothing left of him, but he saved a lot of people.

Zhongli stood up silently and just gently wiped the tears from the corners of Guizhong's eyes. Companionship is also a kind of contract!

It is also the most lasting confession in this world.

Even rocks would not feel tired after thousands of years of erosion, let alone a thousand years of companionship and five hundred years of no regrets...

Gui finally grabbed the hand that was wiping her tears, gently stroked her pretty face, and felt infinite satisfaction in her heart.

"Round three, start!"

The wine bottle spun and finally pointed at...Chen Mo.

Four pairs of eyes were cast at him at the same time, and Chen Mo felt under tremendous pressure.

Wendy drank her wine and chuckled, but her braids were secretly emitting a green light...

Chen Mo took a breath, sat up straight, and said in a deep voice: "Ask!"

Guizhong rubbed Zhongli's big hand again, turned around, and said with a smile:

"Chen Mo, if you are faced with a choice and you have to choose someone, who would you choose?"

boom!

The heavy bomb was dropped, but Gui finally left peacefully.

Several nervous eyes turned to him, some expectant, some sad, some gentle, some worried...

Chen Mo slowly stood up, picked up a bottle of wine, and walked to the window.

"I think... I have always been a very greedy person. I have always wanted to keep everyone by my side. I don't want anyone to be sad or upset because they leave for some reason..."

"Now that this option is in front of me, it is difficult for me to make a choice because I know that no matter which choice I make, I will definitely regret it in the future."

"Honestly, I don't want to give up on anyone..." Chen Mo showed a self-deprecating smile on his face, laughing at his own naivety and cowardice.

Before crossing over, he was a very ordinary person. Even after coming to this world, he just hid here and there. Fortunately, 'Gu Chen Jie Sha' made all the demons hate him, so he was able to survive...

He never thought that traveling through time must mean being the protagonist, and he did not have such great charm to attract many people to throw themselves at him. He had been restraining himself over the years and did not dare to express his emotions easily...

Exhaling deeply, Chen Mo looked through the window at the bright moon in the sky, muttering, "The moon is bright in the clouds, is this a message for you?"

My moon will never set, and my love will last until death?

"If I have to give up on someone, I will choose to give up on myself."

Chen Mo turned around and poured the wine in his hand down his throat. The immortal power flowed through his body, and the drunkenness spread deep inside...

What's the point of drinking if you don't get drunk?

At the dinner table, the three women had complicated expressions, their hands tightly clasped together, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in their hearts.

We looked at each other and wondered if we were pushing too hard.

Ganyu's eyes were already tearful, and she placed her hands on her heart with a look of heartache.

Chen Mo turned around and smiled brightly, his tone a little drunken.

"From today on, I won't drink for a month..."
