Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

After escaping from the library, just a few steps away made Wang Chen's heart beat rapidly. He couldn't tell whether his heartbeat quickened because the beautiful woman was holding his hand while running, or if he was really running too fast.

Although Teyvat is full of high-quality beauties, he has developed resistance to their temptations.

But I have been single since birth and have never held hands with a girl I didn’t know.

When I was in school, my parents and teachers repeatedly warned me not to fall in love too early. In college, I chose a major with few female students, so I missed my last chance on campus.

As a result, when I entered society, the people I met were either already married or preparing to get married.

What are you thinking about? It's just holding hands!

Wang Chen shook his head, wishing he could slap himself.

But Emma seemed to have other intentions. Although they had slowed down, she still held Wang Chen's hand tightly. When Wang Chen wanted to pull his hand away embarrassedly, she smiled apologetically and let go.

"Teacher Huijin, once I get the distribution certificate, I will ask the printing company to start printing immediately. The first signing event should be held as early as possible, at 9 am tomorrow, at the West Wind Bookstore, right?"

"Okay."

"But I will prepare more books this time, 5,000 books... I don't think I can finish signing them in one day, 3,000 books, maybe. I should be able to finish before 6pm."

Three thousand copies, if the net profit is still 500 Mora per copy, I can make 1.5 million Mora if I sell them all.

The two were silent on the stairs leading to the third floor.

"Teacher Ash?"

"Ok?"

Lisa, Lisa... If you don't do anything, don't blame me. Emma mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Wang Chen paused, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"That's right, I just want to understand."

Wang Chen shook his head, and Emma was delighted.

"Emma, ​​what do you think of me?"

"Eh? Let me think... mysterious and talented."

Are you talented? Haha…

"You haven't even seen my true face." Wang Chen lifted the hood of his cloak. He didn't want the first person who confessed to him implicitly to have the impression that he was a villain.

Emma: "Now I have to add a handsome one."

“…But I’m still wearing the mask.”

"that's not important."

“…” Wang Chen shook his head at Emma and put his hood back on.

When you are in school, you have opportunities but no emotional intelligence; when you are working, you have emotional intelligence but no opportunities.

Now? Now it's a monster.

Wang Chen had just finished dealing with the publishing matters of Alice in Wonderland with Emma in the morning. In the afternoon, when he was practicing sword with Bennett in Dongfeng Square, he met an adventurer who was distributing flyers for the first signing event of Alice in Wonderland.

When he returned to the hotel at night, some bookstores he passed by had put up posters of the cover of "Alice in Wonderland" with slogans like "Follow Alice to find back your lost imagination!"

This is much more powerful than the publicity I organized on my own for my first book! Wang Chen admired Emma's initiative.

The signing event on the second day was even more grand and lively than the last time.

A red carpet was laid on the road where readers lined up, leading all the way to the author's seat. Balloons and fireworks were also set up along the road. The number of staff was also doubled to manage the reader line in an orderly manner.

A staff member shouted to the back of the line, "This signing event only accepts Fairy Tales in a Box and Alice in Wonderland. Anyone passing by please let me check the books you have. Those who don't have the above books need to buy them from me, otherwise you will be asked to leave the signing event."

The long table next to him was piled high with copies of Alice in Wonderland, and there were two staff members specifically in charge of sales.

Wang Chen arrived nearly twenty minutes early as usual. As soon as he sat down at the author's seat, Emma came out of the bookstore gracefully, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Start early?"

"Ah."

The line of readers began to flow forward.

With his excellent memory, Wang Chen recognized many readers of "Fairy Tales in the Box" among these people, and he would say an extra sentence to these people, "Thank you for your support of "Fairy Tales in the Box"."

Some people would be very excited, excited that Teacher Huijin actually remembered them.

But this was just one more word for Wang Chen. If he hadn't had the support of these people, as a pure-blooded Qiuqiu man, without a fixed place to live and with low combat power, he really didn't know what other good ways to make money he would have.

It was their support that gave Wang Chen the capital to buy Dandelion and Tail of the North Wind.

Les Mill, who had impressed Wang Chen so deeply, also came, and was still as cool as ever: "Please write 'Ashes? Les Mill' here."

It was almost lunch time, and none of the people with divine eyes that Wang Chen knew came, but there was an uninvited guest.

"The King of Fairy Tales Ashes? I think "Fairy Tales in a Box" is just average. Has it completely fallen from the altar this time? What kind of crappy book is this? It makes no sense, no logic!"

This guy had an ordinary face and didn't do anything unusual when it came to him in line, but he started to make trouble when he walked in front of Wang Chen.

Emma pushed her glasses up: "If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. Why make trouble?"

"Hey! I just want everyone to know what kind of person Ashes is. Alice in Wonderland is just bullshit!" He raised the book in his hand ostentatiously, turned around and shouted to the readers behind him.

"guard!"

Two Knights soldiers who were there to maintain law and order carried the man away from the book signing event. As a result, troublemakers popped up like mushrooms after a rain, and one even called Wang Chen and Emma adulterers. Emma was so angry that she kicked the man unconscious with a high whip kick.

"If I don't get angry, do you think I'm a vegetarian?" She brushed her trouser legs, glanced fiercely at the team behind her, and actually scared away a few guilty people.

By the late afternoon, the lines finally started to get shorter.

Amber appeared, followed by Ying and Paimon.

Holding the bookmark for Amber in his hand, Wang Chen was curious whether Paimon, who was behind him, would be treated as a single person when passing by the staff, or would he be counted as one person with Ying?

In the end, she and Ying took a copy of Alice in Wonderland and a copy of Fairy Tales in a Box respectively.

"I never thought you were the author of "Fairy Tales in a Box"! Ying and I love this book."

"Hmph! Submit to the wisdom of my master!"

Emma on the side asked in surprise: "Who is talking?"

Wang Chen coughed, slapped the hilt of his sword, and said, "You may have heard it wrong. Paimon, what do you want to sign for this book?"

"Hmm... just write 'To Ying and Paimon - Ashes'."

After seeing off Amber, Ying and Paimon, some familiar faces appeared one after another.

“I originally said I would give it to you after it’s published, but I didn’t expect the publishing house to hold a first release signing event.” Wang Chen touched his nose embarrassedly.

"It's okay. It's not expensive. Just consider it as a way of supporting me." Albedo calmly admired his own paintings in the book. Perhaps the vague smile on the corners of his mouth and in his eyes meant that he was very satisfied, but others couldn't tell at all.

Sucrose and Klee were obviously very excited.

In Sandang's opinion, book signings are like alchemy. Although the result is important, the process is equally important. Being at a book signing event and watching your favorite author sign your name is more meaningful than receiving a signed copy in private.

Kelly was delighted because she got her favorite fairy tale book and her paintings were seen by so many people.

Next was Fischl's turn. She had wanted to ask the author for some advice on how to make herself more imaginative, but when she saw that the author was actually Wang Chen, she couldn't hold back.

"Ahahaha! Shadow, I was wondering who else in the world could create such a masterpiece full of fantasy. Now that I've seen it, it's you."

"Your Majesty, Master of the Pure Land of Dark Night, Princess of Judgment, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Haha~, I will specially allow you to write down my real name for me, 'Fischl von Rufuschloss Nafedot'!" Fischl was very happy.

Emma: “???”

As the book signing event was coming to an end, another person Wang Chen had not expected came.

"Hello, are there any cookies, potions or mushrooms that will make people hate drinking alcohol?" asked a pink-haired loli with cat ears and a cat tail.

Knowing her thoughts clearly, Wang Chen shook his head and said, "Sorry, fairy tales are just fairy tales. There is probably no such thing in reality."

"Okay... I knew it..."

Her hopes were dashed once again, and Diona wagged her tail in frustration, but she quickly cheered up. After all, she had failed so many times in making unpalatable wine that she was used to it.

Just as she took the book and was about to leave, a voice rang out: "Wow! This girl actually received the blessing of the pure water spirit 'can make fine wine in any way'! I have been in Teyvat for so many years, and I have only met a few like this."

Wang Chen's face turned green. He didn't expect Xiao Wen to be able to see this, but why couldn't he control his mouth? Fortunately, Emma had something to do and left. Only he and Diona could hear Xiao Wen talking.

"What blessing?!" Diona really heard it.

"Ahahaha... maybe just maybe it's the blessing of 'being able to make good wine in any way'?" He lied to Diona.

Having this kind of blessing is definitely a good thing, but Diona will probably find a way to remove it if she knows about it, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to interfere with Diona's choice.

"How could this happen... So... So, do you know how to cancel this blessing?"

"Sorry, I don't know about this, but isn't it good to have such a blessing? Why should it be cancelled?" Wang Chen tried hard to get Diona's life back on track.

Diona briefly spoke about her grand goal of destroying Mond Wine, and how this blessing was now her biggest obstacle.

Wang Chen pretended to sigh and said, "Is that so... It's a pity there is no way to cancel the blessing."

"Yes! I know how to remove it!"

"you shut up!"

Diona glanced suspiciously at Wang Chen's waist and asked, "Who is talking?"

"It's your illusion. There are only two of us here."

Diona didn't quite believe it, and asked tentatively to the Heavenly Sword under Wang Chen's cloak: "Can you tell me how to remove the blessing?"

The Wentian Sword began to tremble, and Wang Chen could hardly hold it down with one hand.

"Ahhh! Sorry Master, I can't refuse a cute girl's request. I want to help her!"

"??? Loyalty is worthless in front of a cute girl, right?"
