Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Noelle, this silly girl...

Wang Chen really wanted to pull her aside and tell her that people should learn to be selfish and put themselves first no matter what they do.

Value your time, not everything is worth helping with.

Take care of your body. If something happens to it, you won’t be able to help those who really need it.

But just talking about it can bring about changes, and it won’t be to the point where Captain Qin is helpless.

If Kaia is willing to teach by example, it might be effective, but I don't know what that guy is thinking. He just watches from the side without taking any action.

Should I find some extras to teach her a lesson before I leave?

No, that's too troublesome and too cumbersome.

It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

Wang Chen also climbed down with one hand on the fence. Although he had just had a big meal of holy sea bass more than an hour ago, he could still eat some more.

"Noelle! My friend, I haven't seen you for a while. Have you forgotten me?"

Noelle was very sensitive to his own name and immediately found the source of the voice. It was Chen who was walking towards the Deer Hunter Restaurant.

"How could that be? Since I promised to be your friend, I will remember it and fulfill it for the rest of my life!"

"That's good. Give me a grilled steak."

"OK, just a second."

Because there was no mask, Wang Chen specifically found a position with his back to Ying and Amber, just like when he tricked them into fighting the North Wind Wolf King.

This was the first time he was so cautious in front of them after gaining the power of wind element.

Amber behind him greeted him and continued to talk about Noelle with Ying and Paimon. It sounded like they started discussing this because of the shout just now.

"Is it true that shouting Noelle to the sky can solve all my problems? The little wisdom of the Mond people in life is amazing... I learned a lot..."

"Alas, Noelle is too pure and selfless, and loves to help others. In the past, members of the Knights who were supposed to be helpers even asked her to help them complete their missions to slack off."

"There are still such people in the Knights?"

"Isn't it! I get angry whenever I mention it. Fortunately, those people were severely punished by Captain Qin."

“…Noelle really wants to join the Knights, right? She came to ask me for advice a few days ago. If she really joins the Knights, then these people will have even more reason to order her around…”

"With Noelle's ability, she could have joined the Knights a long time ago. It was because of her personality that Captain Qin secretly stopped her from joining. Not to mention that Captain Qin was worried, I am also worried. If it were anyone else, they would have seen through this kind of shady operation a long time ago. Only Noelle is still foolishly thinking that she is not working hard enough.

“The Knights have to deal with many sinister and cunning enemies, and they have to deal with many unbelievable and even disgusting dark things. It’s not the right time for Noelle now… maybe it’s better to let her keep an innocent heart.”

Listening to their conversation silently, Wang Chen felt a little hesitant.

"Shh, she's here." Paimon, who was facing Noelle, whispered to stop Amber and Ying's discussion.

"Here is your grilled steak. Please enjoy." Noelle placed the dish steadily on the dining table like a real maid, then picked up the tray with both hands and placed it in front of her, bending down slightly.

“Noelle…”

"What's wrong?" She turned slightly and looked at Wang Chen with some confusion, "Do you need any help?"

Barbara needs to learn to say no, and this is something that can be pushed without objection.

Diona wanted to give up the blessing of the spring spirit because Xiao Wen's talkativeness affected the trajectory of her life. She had no choice but to take responsibility and make a choice for her when she was wavering.

But what right do I have to make choices for Noelle, who has a pure heart and dreams?

Just because we are friends?

No, I can't do that.

Wang Chen shook his head secretly.

"No, it's nothing."

Noelle seemed to be lost in thought, but when a new customer arrived and was waiting to order, she quickly walked back.

The sun sets and the moon rises, the stars move, and it has been a while since Ying and Amber finished their meal and left. Wang Chen had also finished the barbecue steak he ordered. He moved to a position facing the entrance to Mondstadt, watching the signs of the shops opposite light up, the street lights turn on, and the people rushing or not rushing on this avenue.

Six to nine p.m. is the evening rush hour in Mondstadt, and Noel is busy all the time, but Sarah returns in a carriage.

"Thank you so much! You can keep these Moras as it will be your shift fee."

"That's not necessary. I'm glad I could help you!"

Sarah grabbed Noelle's hand to prevent her from running away, "If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time."

"OK then."

Sarah was one of the people who had the best attitude when asking Noel for help.

After putting away the "windfall", Noelle did not leave. Instead, she walked towards Wang Chen, pulled out a chair hidden under the round dining table, gathered her skirt and sat down.

"Are you worried about something? I'm pretty good at that."

"I didn't expect you to see it."

Noelle pointed to the rose on her left arm. "In Mondstadt, roses symbolize 'keeping a secret'. You can tell me anything. I will never leak it."

Wang Chen pretended to sigh. He had originally decided not to interfere with Noelle's choice. Now that the other party had come back to him, why not test the waters first?

"Actually, I was thinking about 'how much a person can sacrifice for his dream'."

"Hmm... That's a very profound question..." Although I don't know if I can give the correct answer, just like the knight will never back down, the maid will always respond to all expectations, "Is it difficult for your dream to come true?"

Noelle tried to figure out why Chen had this problem first.

"How should I put it... I don't really want to talk about my dream, how about discussing your dream?"

"My dream? My dream is to join the Knights."

"Is it difficult to realize your dream?" Wang Chen asked Noel back.

"Ah... um. It was very difficult. I signed up when I was old enough to join the Knights Templar selection. I practiced swordsmanship, etiquette, and speech for seven quarters and twenty-one months. I even knew the Knights Templar Manual by heart.

“But I lost seven times in a row.”

"Is it so strict? Could it be that the people in charge of the knight selection are doing something shady?"

Noelle shook her head. "At that time, the knight selection was in charge of Captain Jean. She was my role model. My strength and seriousness are still not as good as hers. So it was normal for me to be eliminated. It must be that I didn't do enough in her eyes."

"..."

Ahhhh, so stupid! You should compare your seriousness with the Wind God, and your strength with the patrol soldiers and city guards. How can someone compare with the instructor or even the deputy commander during the knight selection?

You know, during those seven selections, Noelle hadn’t obtained the Eye of God yet, she was just an ordinary girl with a little more strength.

"Then why didn't you continue to participate in the selection?"

"Later, in order to be closer to the Knights, and to help everyone more legitimately, I joined the Knights maid position under the jurisdiction of the logistics team.

"I started to learn how to make bombs from Klee, how to make Count Bunny from Amber, helped Kaia with tasks, and helped Lisa clean the library. The more I came into contact with them, the more I realized the inadequacies of my abilities.

"Claire is strong, Amber is kind, lively and popular, Kaia can handle important matters perfectly every day and still have some time left for a drink, and Lisa stays in the library all day but knows everything and has profound knowledge.

"So I understand how irrational it was to rush into the selection before. I'm still far from it."

"..."

You are really stubborn. You always focus on other people's strengths, right?

Why don't you say that Klee got into trouble, Kaeya was slacking off at work, and Lisa was too lazy? Besides, you are kind, cute and popular.

"No one is perfect... Never mind. Do you still want to join the Knights?"

"Yes I do."

"If there is such an opportunity, the more you pay, the greater the chance of joining the Knights. How much are you willing to pay?"

Noelle stared at him with innocent eyes, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Chen, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Are you being scammed?"

"I'm just giving an analogy. Do you remember the question I was considering? If you were to make the price more specific, such as wealth, freedom, life, a permanent change in personality, or even everything you own, how much would you be willing to pay to join the Order?"

"I am only willing to pay with wealth. No, if you want to join the Knights through improper means, then I am willing to do nothing."

Unexpected persistence in an unexpected place...
