Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

It was another sunny day. The sky over Liyue was azure blue, with white clouds moving slowly and leisurely. It was a very pleasant day to go out.

In the Yuhe Tea House, the storyteller on the stage spoke eloquently about the heroic deeds of a certain big sister who slew the sea monster Haishan and could be called the "uncrowned Dragon King."

Although it was not the first time for the audience to hear this passage, they still could not help but applaud and praise it. This might also be because it was rare for the storyteller to speak so much in one breath.

At a table under the stage, there sat a handsome young man with waist-length hair and a blue shirt like the sea. His easy-going temperament in every move made him seem so likable.

Sitting with him was a young man with blue hair and elegant black clothes, dressed like a wealthy man. However, he did not show any materialistic smell, but was rather reserved and decent. It was obvious at first glance that he did not come from an ordinary wealthy family.

In fact, he was the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. After the powerful man surnamed Pan left, there was almost no one in Liyue Harbor who could compete for the textile business of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. If Ningguang had not been so smart and appreciated by Tianquan Star at that time, she would probably not have been able to win.

"Mr. Nan, are you satisfied with the story I just told you?" The second young master Xingqiu was polite and courteous to others. He was never arrogant or domineering and was very well-educated.

"It's okay. I'm mainly interested in the people in the story." Nan Zhangsheng nodded. He was indeed involved in the cheers and applause just now.

Xingqiu smiled slightly, his handsome face made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. He said slowly: "The love between Mr. Nan and Captain Beidou is stronger than gold and will last forever!"

Nan Zhangsheng smiled and said, "Master Xingqiu, it seems that you don't come to my temple for no reason. Are you here to ask about whether knights-errantry are dead and warm-heartedness is no longer the case?"

Xingqiu nodded and said, "In recent years, not only have the martial arts schools outside Hong Kong declined, but even martial arts schools are showing signs of closing down. They can only rely on commercial performances to earn their living. Even literary works are declining."

Nan Zhangsheng said calmly: "Indeed, this saying has been circulating for a long time. It is also related to the current trend. After all, everyone's life is basically stable. They don't love fighting and killing. If they want to live a stable life, their works must lean towards that direction.

Also, the market is saturated now. There are too many martial arts and fantasy books. Even if the genres are novel, people will inevitably feel aesthetic fatigue and stop reading them. They no longer look forward to them. "

What he said made sense, not only because he had paid close attention to this aspect in his previous life, but also because he was the one who had deep experience of it in this life, which made his words more convincing.

Xingqiu was a little unwilling, but he had no choice but to say, "I recently finished the book 'The Record of the Broken Halberd in the Fallen Autumn', which was a dismal success. However, I heard that someone in our neighboring country Inazuma on the sea seemed to be seeking to buy a pirated copy."

“Now that Liyue is no longer in need, we can turn to other countries for development. Just like the legendary sword-flying, Teyvat can’t fly the sword with air, but it can use elemental power. They’re all swords anyway.” Nan Zhangsheng counselled, not wanting the young man to give up.

Although Xingqiu is not the type to give up easily, as the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he can also pursue his dreams. After all, the family business is taken care of by his eldest brother, and the two brothers have a harmonious relationship, so there is no need to worry about problems.

Xingqiu thanked him and continued, "Unfortunately, Inazuma is currently in a state of isolation, so trade is not possible, and the books that were previously released have not yet reached the latest volume."

Nan Zhangsheng comforted him, "There will be opportunities. After all, Inazuma is one of the seven nations. Such unreasonable policies will not last long. When the time comes, I look forward to you shining there!"

"Mr. Chengnan, you are so kind. If possible, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Xingqiu clasped his fists like a knight.

Nan Zhangsheng clasped his fists in response and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, this is also partly my fault. If I hadn't published those few books in the early years, the market would be better now."

Xingqiu was a little amused and confused. He admired Nan Zhangsheng very much and thought that he was talented and had great vision. However, the fact that he boasted without blushing made even him, the son of a merchant, feel jealous.

"This... shouldn't be said like that. Without Mr. Nan, I'm afraid martial arts would decline even faster. After all, 'after the snow, there is no more martial arts'."

After much difficulty, Xingqiu came up with a set of words and thought that he should be able to deal with it, so he continued to discuss business. However, he obviously underestimated Nan Zhangsheng. When he met someone with the same interests as him, he could talk for three days and three nights.

“That’s true.” Nan Zhangsheng sighed twice, and suddenly said with emotion: “That soul-stirring, happy and vengeful martial arts world has gone far away. Now only the remaining memories are left. That is a chapter in my dream, which can be written into an epic!

Unfortunately, time is running out, and before I can finish writing The Sword Comes, the martial arts world is no longer the same as before, and I can only stop writing and stop interfering."

Xingqiu's eyes flickered. "Could it be that half of the masterpiece was intentional by Mr. Nan?"

"That's right. Plus, I was very sad during that time, so I really didn't have the heart to do this. As a result, when I returned, I found that the literary world had completely changed, so I simply stopped writing. I, Nan Zhangsheng, will no longer write books!"

Nan Zhangsheng answered with a straight face. In fact, the author of the book was very unethical and kept stopping updating the book, so he only remembered the past few parts, making it a half-finished masterpiece.

Afterwards, the two talked for a long time and had a very pleasant conversation. It was not until noon that they said goodbye and left.

Nan Zhangsheng walked along the busy street with a normal look on his face, thinking, "According to the news reported by Mondstadt, the dragon disaster is over. Minus the speed at which the news is transmitted, the yellow-haired fool should have been in Liyue these days."

The yellow-haired fool is the original protagonist of this game. Today, the time of the game's plot line is finally approaching. Nan Zhangsheng has waited for twenty-four years and can finally talk to the "Traveler" and do what a time traveler should do to change the plot.

"Tomorrow is the ceremony to invite the immortals, so we can start preparing today." Nan Zhangsheng thought to himself that he would just push forward all the way to Mount Sumeru, because his physical condition was not optimistic.

Just as the young man in blue was thinking this and walking briskly towards home happily, he stopped and stared blankly at the two people walking side by side not far away.

Rather than saying there are two people, it would be more accurate to say there is a yellow-haired girl and an unknown white-haired ghost. The latter is only the size of a three or four-year-old child, but can float in the air, which is very strange.

Nan Zhangsheng looked at them quietly, then looked away and observed the people around him. As a result, no one showed any doubts or curiosity about the floating creature, as if this was normal.

Or maybe, in the magical continent of Teyvat, nothing you see is strange, and this is normal?

"That's not right. I feel like in the plot, they just asked a few passersby, then went to Yujing Terrace to light the incense burner and started watching the ceremony. How come we got here so quickly?"

Nan Zhangsheng lowered his head, wondering if it was because of the long time that he remembered some details incorrectly, and he didn't notice that the man and the floating object were walking towards him.

"Hello, how do I get to Wanmin Hall?" the little floating object asked politely.

Nan Zhangsheng came back to his senses and could see the two people without looking up. He now had only two thoughts: Yingmei was indeed beautiful. Not to mention her beauty, she was also a top-notch beauty; as for Paimeng, he was quite polite.

"Well...Wanmin Hall is on Chihuyan Street. Go straight along this road, turn right at the last intersection, go straight through the commercial street, then go around the alley, and continue going straight until you arrive."

In order not to be considered a hooligan, Nan Zhangsheng pointed in the direction and tried his best to explain it to them, although these roads would be a little difficult to explain if he had not lived here for a long time.

Ying, the blonde girl, was dressed in a pure white dress. Her straight legs were covered in stockings, which made it difficult for people to feast their eyes on her. She nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

"Hey, Ying, do you understand now? I don't even remember how to go after turning." The floating object was Paimon, who blinked his big eyes and didn't seem to be very smart.

"I'll just remember it." Ying said lightly, pulling her little travel companion and preparing to leave.

Paimeng couldn't wait any longer, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, she wished the Hall of All Peoples was right in front of her so she could have a hearty meal right away.

Nan Zhangsheng opened his mouth slightly and suddenly asked, "By the way, are you two from Mondstadt?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two people who were originally going to have a good meal stopped immediately and turned to look at the handsome young man.

"Are you from Mond too?" Paimon scratched his head. Somehow he suddenly had this thought and said it directly.

Nan Zhangsheng shook his head slightly and explained, "I am from Liyue. I just heard that things are not going well in Mondstadt recently. I am a little worried about my friends, but I can't send the letter over, so I want to ask you."

Paimon pursed his lips and directly told the situation, "We are indeed from Mondstadt. It is safe there now. What is your friend's name? Maybe we have met him before."

Ying nodded slightly, meaning the same thing.

Nan Zhangsheng smiled, which made people feel refreshed. He said slowly, "Her name is Rosalia, and she is a nun of the West Wind Church. Have you seen her?"

"We've met Rosalia. She's a very nice person." Paimon was very honest.

Ying was more cautious and asked him first if his name was Su Ping, his courtesy name was Zi'an, and his position was Kaiyang Star, one of the Seven Stars.

Nan Zhangsheng said: "I am not, my name is Nan Zhangsheng, I am a good friend of Brother Su, if you need, I can take you to see him directly, otherwise if you want to see Qixing, you may have to make an appointment first."

"So good!" Paimon said in surprise with his mouth open.

Nan Zhangsheng smiled kindly, "Rosalia's friends are of course my friends too. Since they are friends, I should treat them well."

Ying sensed the kindness of this person and felt relieved. She slowly said, "Hello, my name is Ying, and I'm a traveler."

Paimon also said: "Oh, that's right. We've been talking for so long but I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Paimon, and I'm the best guide in Teyvat!"

Nan Zhangsheng certainly knew their names, but since someone who claimed to be the best guide in the world couldn't even remember the way just now, it would be better to call them... emergency food.
