Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

From the moment he was born, the doctor told Li Ming that the child was too weak and might not live past his first birthday.

But he relied on his extraordinary vitality to climb all the way to the pinnacle of power.

Over the past few decades, I have abandoned my family, my emotions, and even my own name.

Just to climb to a higher position, I am not greedy for power, I just want to prove that I can stand at the top of the city!

Therefore, Li Ming has a very strong character and he has the courage to compete with anyone no matter who his opponent is.

Even when facing veteran political giants, the "Smiling Tiger" Pandrino, he did not back down.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Feeling Li Ming's unwavering determination, Pandrino sighed helplessly.

"After all, the divination results are just speculations, and there is no guarantee that they are 100% accurate, right?"

"That's right. Even without divination, I don't think you can defeat your opponent."

"Why? Do you know that woman?"

"I know him, but there are some things I cannot disclose."

Pandrino never mentioned the information about the "Black Sun Dynasty. Kanreya" to anyone except the female president.

After all, this is the real "dark history" and anyone who touches it may be doomed.

"Humph, I don't believe I will die in the competition. If fate wants me to fall, then I will defy fate and change it!"

After saying that, Li Ming strode towards the contestant channel with his head held high.

Alas... never mind. This is the path he chose, and his life and death are his own responsibility.

Pandrino could only sigh and acquiesce to his colleague's choice.

However, what Pandrino did not expect was that a pair of sharp eyes were quietly watching his every move from at least five hundred meters away.

"I know you, but there are some things I can't tell you... That's it."

In the "Liyue Lounge" opposite, Xingqiu leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, repeating Pandelino's words.

In this world, there are countless ways to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but Xingqiu chose the most difficult way to detect - lip reading.

With his super eyesight that could see a needle a hundred meters away, he easily captured the subtle changes in Pandrino's lips.

Combined with the "lip reading" he learned while traveling in the underworld, he successfully replicated the conversation between the two politicians.

Listening to all this silently were Li Mochen and Ningguang.

The conversation between the two politicians, "The Clown" and "The Rooster", really surprised them.

"Mo Chen...what do you think of Pandrino's 'divination'?"

After the conversation over there ended, Ningguang immediately turned to Li Mochen.

It was known from the beginning that "Smiling Tiger" Pandrino was the strongest opponent, and everyone knew it.

But Ningguang never dreamed that this guy was actually a master of divination, and could even calculate the outcome of the next game clearly?

The key point is that he still said confidently that he could defeat or even kill Li Mochen?

Are you kidding? The current Li Mochen is a "top god-level" strongman when he gives his all.

But Pandrino declared without hesitation that he would win? What was this divination about?

However, Li Mochen's next words almost dislocated Ningguang's jaw.

"Maybe. I really can't beat him now."

Although Ningguang didn't know Pandelino's true identity, Li Mochen knew.

Tyrfing, the "last captain of the royal guard of Kanria", was a great man who had fought against the "Seven Rulers of the World" five hundred years ago.

After five hundred years of tempering, and with the technological enhancement of the Fatui, the strength of such a top-level warrior is difficult to understand with common sense.

What's even more terrifying is that he can divine Li Mochen's hidden cards: "Subduing Demons and Calming the Demons with Nuo Dance" and "Quadruple Level Sage Mode".

The most terrifying thing is that even though he knew that Li Mochen had two extremely powerful trump cards, Pandrino still believed he could win.

From this, it seems that the "Smiling Tiger" at least possesses the strength of a "top god-level" and may even be able to rival the "Seven Rulers of the World".

Li Mochen was not completely sure of winning against such an extraordinary monster.

What should I do... This situation is indeed a bit...

Whoosh! Crash!

Just as Li Mochen was having a headache over the current predicament, a splash of water suddenly appeared from the side.

A special "Starry Sky Water Mirror" flashed out, and then a long-lost graceful figure walked out of it.

"Oh...luckily I made it in time."

Coming out of the teleportation, Mona shook off the water droplets on her braids and gave Li Mochen a smug smile.

"Mona? You picked a great time."

Li Mochen was somewhat surprised to see this exclusive assistant whom he had not seen for a long time.

Mona has joined the Liyue camp for a long time, but she spends most of her time shopping.

Every time I asked her for inspiration, she would shake her head and say something like "The time is not right yet, don't be impatient."

Over time, Li Mochen almost forgot her existence, but he didn't expect this guy to appear at this moment.

After all, the "smiling tiger" Pandrino is facing now, who uses divination to decide the outcome of this "Fire God Enwu Festival".

The only thing that can fight against magic is magic, and the only thing that can fight against divination is naturally divination.

"Hehe, this is not a random choice. I figured out that you guys need my help, so I came."

"That's great, the situation is like this now..."

Seeing Mona appear, Ningguang immediately told her the current situation.

There were about five minutes left until the eighth inning began.

Since the "Sumeru Teachings Institute" needed to repair the venue that was damaged by Walnut, it took a little longer than the previous few games.

Hmmmm, I see.

After listening to Ningguang's clear explanation, Mona immediately set up the water divination plate and started operating.

As the stars fell, the entire starry sky seemed to surge on the water divination plate, making people confused.

"I understand... The other party's divination is almost accurate. If things continue like this, things will develop according to the worst-case scenario described by the 'Smiling Tiger'."

A minute later, Mona nodded seriously, first confirming the accuracy of the other party's divination.

The concept of fate sounds mysterious, but it is actually quite realistic.

The fate of most people can be traced in the "Pan of Destiny".

By interpreting the "Destiny Plate", a lot of key information can be inferred.

"Astrologer" Pendrino is a master of divination, and Mona is also good at it. Her "star prediction" has verified Pendrino's predictions.

"What should we do now?" Ningguang asked nervously after hearing Mona's words.

If the situation develops as Pandrino predicts, it will be serious.

Liyue will win the eighth game, but then suffer three consecutive losses in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh games.

What's worse is that in the last match, Li Mochen would die in the ring and be defeated by Pandrino?

"The solution is to take the initiative to change the controllable destiny and disrupt the subsequent process." Mona pondered for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

"what do you mean?"

"It means we take the initiative, like just conceding in Game 8."

Should we just...give up?

Li Mochen and Ningguang were both surprised when they heard this.

According to Pandrino's divination, the next games would be a loss in the eighth and wins in the ninth to eleventh.

If Liyue wins according to divination in the eighth game.

Then, the ninth to eleventh games will inevitably be lost.

The easiest way to break this prediction is to tamper with the eighth game.

Pandrino predicted a win in the eighth game? Okay, then we'll let him get his wish and lose the game.

For Liyue, how difficult is it to lose a game? All they have to do is forfeit.

But can this change the course of fate?

"It definitely can. At least it can restore the chaotic state of fate, which means that the previous divination will become invalid." Facing Li Mochen's doubts, Mona said firmly.

I see. They want to sacrifice the outcome of the eighth game to disrupt Pandrino's divination...

If the eighth game is directly forfeited, the score between the two sides will return to four draws and four losses.

In the next ninth, tenth and eleventh games, we must win two games.

In these three games, Liyue’s representatives were Beidou, Fischl, and Li Mochen respectively.

Without the interference of "fate divination", the next three games will be full of variables.

The outcome is unpredictable, it all depends on strength.

Compared to the inevitable three-game losing streak, this outcome is obviously more acceptable.

So, Li Mochen turned to the girl who was resting with her eyes closed in the corner.

Since the competition started, Ying hasn't paid much attention to the arena because she feels her level is not good enough.

For Ying, she participated in the competition just to repay Li Mochen a favor.

"Why, is it my turn?" Li Mochen approached, Yingwei opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Well...actually I want to ask you...can you not go on stage?" Li Mochen felt a little embarrassed when asking this question.

After all, it was he who invited Ying to participate in the competition, and the other party agreed.

But when they are about to go on stage, you ask them not to go on stage. Isn’t that a joke?

"No problem, let's do it." Ying answered without hesitation, as if she didn't care whether she played or not.

From the beginning to the end, Ying had no interest in this kind of competition and it didn't matter whether she participated or not.

"Huh...that's good." Li Mochen breathed a sigh of relief after getting Ying's consent.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's a little complicated indeed. I'll explain it to you later. Anyway, we will win this game."

Li Mochen nodded to Ying, and then arranged for someone to handle the abandonment of the eighth game.

On the other side, the fifth executive officer, "Rooster" Pucciniella, who was about to take part in the battle, strode onto the stage.

From the moment the executive appeared on the scene, most viewers could see that he was filled with anger.

Unlike the previous executive officer, Puccini's eyes were flashing with murderous intent...

An attitude as if he was determined to fight to the death.

But then again, he was declared a failure before he even made a move.

How could the always proud Puccini accept this?

Stepping onto the ring, he took a deep breath.

"Listen to me! I will never lose this game! If I, Puccini, lose, write my name backwards!"

His arrogant voice echoed around the ring and could be heard clearly.

Ah, no way, this guy is so confident? He does look quite capable.

At present, Pucciniella is the first player who declares that he will win as soon as he enters the game, otherwise he will write his name backwards.

His bold words won cheers and applause from the audience.

Bathed in the cheers, Puccini's fighting spirit became even higher.

I will never lose, and I will never die. I must win this battle.

But why are the players from Liyue so slow? They haven't shown up after waiting for so long?

Puccini prepared for battle and vowed not to leave himself any way out.

However, he did not wait for the man who was rumored to be able to defeat him to come out from the opposite passage.

Instead, the referee slowly walked into the ring.

The next second, what the referee said made Pucciniella's jaw almost drop in surprise.

"Since the Liyue player forfeited, the victory in the eighth game belongs to the Winter Solstice player, Pucciniella."

What...really? I won without fighting?

The referee announced the end of the game, but Pucciniella stood there, speechless for a long time.

The audience who had been cheering for him just now were also stunned.

After all, so far, no party has ever voluntarily given up, which is like a dream plot.

Hmm? He actually gave up... Could it be? No way?

Just as Pucciniella walked towards the lounge in a daze.

Pandrino in the lounge frowned slightly, as if he had a premonition of something bad happening...
