Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Sumeru

Travelers Ying and Paimon were walking on the streets of Xumi and heard many people discussing the [College Celebration]. They had been in Xumi for so long but had never heard of such an event.

Paimon thought there would be fun things at the celebration, so he took Ying to the Church of the Holy Spirit.

...

The two people were stopped as soon as they entered the Church Hall.

"Please stay for a moment, both of you... Could it be that you are the famous traveler Paimon? I am Vikas, a member of the Academy Festival Planning Committee. Have you ever heard of the Academy Festival?"

Ying nodded, that was exactly why she came here.

Vikas was surprised. He didn’t expect that the publicity effect of the Ordinance House was so good. He briefly introduced it to them.

The College Festival is a grand event held by the College of Religion, and it has a very long history. Specifically, it can be divided into two parts: [College Recreation Party] and [College Competition].

The [College Carnival] is held every year. During the celebration, the six schools will set up stalls in the city to entertain tourists and promote the interesting places of their own schools to increase their influence.

The [College Championship] held every four years allows each of the six schools to select a representative to compete for the final championship.

This year, the college carnival and college competition will be held at the same time, so the city is unprecedentedly lively.

Paimon enthusiastically thanked Vikas for the introduction, which was so detailed.

Vikas waved his hand and said modestly, "You're welcome. It is my duty to answer questions about the college celebration. Besides, I actually have something to ask of you two."

Paimeng was stunned. Is there anything else he needs help with?

"It's like this - this year's Academy Celebration is very important to us. Lord Little Auspicious Grass King and the sages have drawn up a plan. Next year, the Academy will recruit some talented people from the desert to become scholars. Therefore, we invited many people living in the desert to participate in this Academy Celebration, hoping that they can feel the atmosphere of the Academy in advance."

"I heard that you two are very famous in the rain forest and the desert. If you can participate in the school celebration... especially the school competition, it will definitely let more people know about this event."

[Xiao Palace: This is a good idea. Let the people of the desert experience the atmosphere of the Order House first, and then promote the relationship between the people of the two places, and lay the foundation for the unification of Xumi in the future.]

[Nashida: Uh... Is there a possibility that the land of Xumi itself is complete? We don’t distinguish between deserts and rainforests. They are all my people of Xumi]

[Xiaogong: I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing]

[Qin: Lord Grass God, which academy is Klee in? ]

[Nashida: Klee is not in one of the six major academies. She is a school all by herself. Since bombs are rarely used in Xumi, not many people sign up.]

[Lisa: As far as I know, if there is a school competition, Klee will be banned]

[Paimon: Why... why? ]

[Lisa: First of all, Klee is very young and doesn't meet the competition standards. Secondly, Klee's bomb is too powerful and can easily set the entire rainforest on fire. Finally, Klee is just lucky. Even if she does nothing, she can still win the championship. That's why she is not allowed to participate.]

[Mona: I agree with this. The luck brought by her four-leaf clover is too abnormal]

[Qiqi: Is that the Eye of God? ]

[Seno: The emblem of the House of Deputies to distinguish between schools, the Sulun School]

[Klee: Fighting for supremacy is boring, bombs are the most interesting. The book my mom sent to Klee has arrived. Klee is going to study. Leader Jean Klee is offline.]

[Ding! User Klee has gone offline]

[Alice: It’s becoming more and more like the Internet, which is great]

...

Ying was a little confused. "We are not scholars from the Academy of Teachings. Besides, aren't only scholars from each school allowed to participate?"

Paimon: "Do you want us to join a certain school? Hmm... But as a scholar, we have to face [exams] and [papers]..."

Vikas explained, "The contestants for the Academy Competition have been confirmed. I would like to invite you two to be our [special commentators] to observe and record every game. You two don't have to feel any pressure, just follow the game and enjoy this Academy celebration. In addition, we will also prepare some remuneration so that you will not make a wasted trip."

When Lai Ma heard that there would be a reward, he immediately asked Ying for her opinion.

Ying asked curiously, "What about the contestants? Are there any other commentators?"

Vikas said mysteriously, "When we get to the college celebration, the host will introduce each contestant in detail. There may be some people you know, but I will keep it a secret for now... How about it, do you want to consider taking this commission?"

Ying nodded. Some of the games were rewarding and were a sure-win business.

"The main venue of the Academy Celebration is in the suburbs near the [Gathering Sand Hall], and the host is Kalina. Tell her the situation and she will help you make arrangements. It's getting late, and the Academy Championship is about to begin. I wish the two special commentators a smooth journey. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."

[Ying: Some people we know means we all know these people, right? ]

[Paimon: I guess there are Tinari, Falsan, and Cannon. They are the scholars of the Order Institute, and the referee... the great sage Elhaisen]

[Elhaisen: If it is held, I will definitely choose to refuse. I can obviously find other sages...]

【Kelai: Why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to this music? 】

[Wendy: Farewell, people of Xumi. May you have sweet dreams tonight?]

[Great Compassion Tree King: Ahem, Barbatos, I’m still here]

[Ying: The memory of death suddenly attacks me. Oh, where is the slice of the doctor? ]

[Amao: Hahahaha, of course I tortured him like a stray dog]

【Qin: What happened? 】

[Paimon: This is what happened…]

[Lisa: Paimon from the future came to the present timeline. Well... only time can do that.]

[Paimon: I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that the bet would win. In the future, I only needed one move to make that slice defenseless! ]

[Ying: Remember to be careful next time. If you encounter this situation, hide in the pot.]

[Paimon: Hey! ]

[Ding! Who won the championship in this college competition? ]

[A. Tinari]

【B, Sino】

【C, A Mao】

[D. Falushan]

[E. Kawi]

[F, Leila]

[G. Lisa]

[H, El Haisen]

[System: As for the gameplay, you all know it, so I won’t give you any numbers.]

[Xiao Palace: The general's child is also participating in the competition? ]

[Nashida: Amao is a well-known scholar and has published many papers]

[Yae Shenzi: Just pamper him]

[Amao: Some useless papers. If you have been in the world long enough, you must know more than ordinary people. How boring]

[Kujo Sara: Some of his funds for the Sumeru Temple were funded by Inazuma, and the specific funding source was the Narugami Taisha Shrine]

[Yae Shenzi: Damn! How dare you touch my money! Who would dare to do that?]

[Shadow: I… just reimbursed him a little bit, after all, I owed him something]

[Qin: The same goes for Mond. After all, further education costs money.]

[Kamisato Ayaka: Brother, it’s up to you]

[Kamisato Ayato: Ahem, my answer may not be correct]

[Paimon: But you can choose the opposite! ]

[Kamisato Ayato: Let me analyze this for you all. If I guess correctly, the last option in the video should be the Great Sage. The Great Sage would not participate in this kind of activity.]

[Kamisato Ayato: Uh... As for the others, they are all possible.]

[Xiangling: Listening to your words is like listening to your words. Isn’t it the same as not saying anything?]

[Qin: Why does Lisa appear in the options? Could it be that she has also gone to Xumi at this time? ]

[Lisa: Well, I don’t know either.]

[Kaeya: I know Lisa, she is from the Xumisulun sect, and she and Seno are senior and junior sisters]

[Kole: In terms of wisdom, I think Senior Falusan is more powerful. After all, she has lived for hundreds of years.]

[Falusan: Ahem, there’s no need to mention age anymore.]

[Kole: In terms of martial power, it belongs to Lord Seno and Amao. They are both the strongest under the God of Xumi.]

[Paimon: Elhaisen is just a weak scholar]

【Elhaisen: ….】

[Kavi: Hey, hey, hey, don’t you guys consider me? ]

[Paimon: Uh... your chances of winning are too slim. You can't beat them.]

[Kavi: I can't even refute it! ]

[Laila: First exclude myself, um, this must be the correct answer]

[Ying: I choose Ice God Seno! ]

[Ningguang: I think Tinari might be able to win]

[Klee: Um...Klee doesn't choose, there's something dirty! ]

[Ke Lai: I choose my master too! ]

[Arakaki Ichito: Ah Mao, I have high hopes for you! ]

[Amao: Haha… boring]

[Ice Queen: I choose Kawi]

[Kavi: It seems that I, Kavi, am not completely useless. The Ice Queen chose me! ]

[Ice Queen: No, oftentimes, things that are not threatening are deadly! ]

[Nashida: Then I... choose Laila]

[Lisa: I don’t need to choose. I won’t participate in this kind of youth activities.]

[Ding! The result is being determined. The answer will be announced at the end. The prize for this quiz is the damaged version of Heart of Eden (function: control gravity)]

[Alice: Heart of Eden? Can you make this thing? ]

[Paimon: It’s still a damaged version! I hate it…]

[Klee: Is the Heart of Eden a ball? ]

[Alice: A fragile item, but it also depends on the user. Anyway, the first two were broken.]

[Ice Queen: Interesting...]

...

College celebration scene

"Everyone, welcome to the Academy Celebration! Next, I will announce the prizes for this Academy Competition - rich resources, project resources, limited edition Seven Saints Summoning Cards... and the right to wear the [Crown of Talent]. You can guess without me saying it, this is a symbol of honor!"

When the people in the audience saw the hat, they started talking about it.

"Every time I see it, I am intoxicated by its beauty. The person who is qualified to wear it must be a rare genius."

...

“I believe many people have seen the [Crown of Talent] or heard about the legends about it. Twenty years ago, a scholar named Saziin spent a large sum of money to buy it and donated it to the House of the Decrees.

The generous prize money offered by the current college competition also comes from his sponsorship. Before the competition begins, please allow me to express my gratitude to this scholar who is not present..."

Ying looked at the Crown of Talent in front of her with her eyes wide open, and the next second she saw a man who looked like Azar appear.

"Everything is getting worse... Everything will get worse... Everything can only get worse... Human nature brings disputes, disputes lead to destruction, and the seeds of sin have been there from the beginning..."

[Paimon: Ah, Azar? ]

【Cole: Pretend to be dead?】

[Nashida: No, it is the past image of the Crown of Talent. This is a unique ability of the Traveler. You should know it.]

[Kaia: I thought Azar was resurrected from the dead]

[Ying: It's useless even if he is resurrected. Take him to confess in front of the Tree King]

[The Great Compassionate Tree King: The Church of the Holy Spirit was not like this before, what a pity…]

[Dyne: Wisdom is the enemy of the God of Wisdom! ]

...

"Hey - stop daydreaming! You didn't respond when I called you just now. Didn't you get enough rest? Did you secretly stay up late again?" Paimeng couldn't help but ask with concern.

Ying was silent for a long time. Whose memory did he just see? He seemed to be the sage of the previous generation, Azar...

...

"Okay, I believe that everyone is just like me, and can't wait to see the game begin! Now let us invite six [Academy Representatives] to the stage. They are————

小提

The representative of the lifeist school, Tinari!

Xumi Ice God

The representative of the Sulun School, Seno!

The representative of the Minglun faction, Leila!

The representative of the Zhilun School, Falushan!

The representative of the Miaolun School, Kavi!

And the representatives of the Yinlun faction...Huh? The representatives of the Yinlun faction haven't arrived yet?"

The host, Kalina, looked around but did not see any representatives from the Cause Theory School.

At this moment, a young voice rang out.

"It's better to end this noisy and useless introduction as soon as possible."

Paimeng in the audience was surprised to see the newcomer, because how could the representative of the theory faction be a scattered soldier?

"Here we go! The last contestant, the representative of the Yinlun faction—Amao!"

[Kaeya: Hahahaha, I really can't help it. I thought Sanbing would have a different name in the video, but I didn't expect it to be Ah Mao! ]

[Walnut: It seems like the name shouted at the entrance of the village]

[Amber: Why do their introductions feel like those of the Fatui executives? ]

【Cole: Homo sapiens executive officer?】

[Paimon: Former Sixth Executive Officer of the Fatui, nothing wrong with him]

[Amao: So there’s no need to give me a name, Wanderer is fine.]

[Nashida: Doesn’t Amao sound good? It really suits your temperament, Amao, Amao! ]

[Nilu: I remember there were other people in the Yinlun faction, why did you single him out? ]

[Dixia: The members of the Yinlun School are all abroad, and he is the only one in Xumi. I guess he was recommended by the Grass God.]

[Seno: The prize is actually the Seven Saints Summoning Card! Xumi will be held soon, if there are cards, I will definitely participate! ]

...

"Six contestants have already appeared on the stage, and the competition will begin soon! Who will be the champion of this year's college competition? Let's wait and see!"
