Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Huiyuan, reminded of "Schrödinger's Cat," couldn't hold back any longer and laughed for a while before she calmed down.

"Laugh, laugh enough. Paimon, continue... Pfft..."

Paimon scratched his head and continued recounting the events of that time.

"At the time I said..."

"...I don't understand at all...but in any case, their wishes can be fulfilled, right?"

Star Lord nodded and said appreciatively, "Hmm...that's right, this young friend has a very high level of comprehension."

"Speaking of which... there's another problem..."

Seeing Paimon's hesitant expression, Star Lord said seriously, "Hmm? Speak freely."

Why are you wearing a mask?

"This immortal travels among the people, helping the world and doing good deeds. I do not reveal my true form, simply to avoid causing trouble."

Seeing this, Paimon nodded thoughtfully, feigning profound understanding.

"That's it, that's it."

After answering Paimon's question, Star Lord asked, "So what are your wishes?"

Upon hearing this question, Ying began to think.

This Star Lord doesn't look like a true immortal, but he just used a spell and talismans to drive away the Hilichurls, so he doesn't seem fake. So is he an immortal or not?

The Star Lord, who exists in a quantum superposition state between a true immortal and a false immortal, is giving Ying a real headache.

If it is a true immortal, then revealing their identity in public would be offensive.

But they could also be charlatans. If we don't expose them, those victims will be in big trouble.

Is there any way to make the other person reveal their true form?

After much deliberation, a flash of fluorescent light appeared.

(Since this celestial being claims to grant wishes, let's play along...make a wish that the other party absolutely cannot fulfill.)

"I want to get rich overnight!"

After this wish was uttered, Paimon was instantly stunned.

"Hey! Aren't you going to take care of your brother?!"

No, shouldn't your wish be to find your brother?!

You refused to grant a wish for sudden wealth in front of Keqing and Ningguang, and in front of all the people of Liyue, but you granted it here?

Upon hearing this wish, the Star Lord did not panic and calmly nodded.

"Hmm, that's only natural. You don't look like a Liyue native, yet you seem to have picked up quite a bit of Liyue's money-grubbing atmosphere... Well, it's not impossible to fulfill this wish... it's just... it's not quite there yet..."

Paimon was very puzzled. He spread his hands and asked, "Something's not quite right...?"

Upon seeing this, the Star Lord raised his head with a profound expression.

"Hahaha, the path to immortality relies solely on 'comprehension.' If you two cannot grasp the meaning of my words, then I'm afraid I cannot offer any assistance."

Paimon was even more bewildered upon hearing this.

Paimon, his head full of question marks, looked at Ying with a puzzled expression.

"What should I do? I still don't understand what he meant!"

After a moment's thought, Ying gradually understood what the other person meant.

"The Star Lord doesn't mean anything by it; he just wants us to do something in return."

"what?"

It's normal that Paimon doesn't understand what the other person is saying.

After all, Liyue language is so profound, how could Paimon, with his simple mind, possibly understand its so-called meaning?

Yingke is different; she's a traveler who's been to countless places, so she understands this kind of "meaningful" sentiment all too well!

"We need to give them some benefits..."

Ying whispered the meaning of "meaning" to Paimon, who didn't understand it at first. After hearing it, Paimon suddenly understood.

“Oh! Those believers mentioned earlier that asking a sage for help comes at a considerable price... but neither of us has anything valuable on us. You don't even have the ‘Eye of God’…”

Seeing that Paimon was so slow to understand, Ying covered her forehead speechlessly.

What I'm saying is, is it possible that, if we think about it from a different perspective, the other party is actually a fake immortal?

Clearly, Paimon had been swayed by Star Lord's rhetoric and was completely unaware of the crux of the matter.

Ying sighed helplessly, "I doubt anyone would sell the Eye of God."

Paimon was annoyed, but not long after, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and revealed a smug expression.

"Hey! Why don't we cook him something delicious? No one can resist the temptation of good food, right?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Ying had no desire to say anything more.

(Oh well, that's just how Paimon is. In her value system, what could be more tempting than delicious food? I'd better not meddle. Even if I don't, the General Affairs Department will probably get involved, right?)

Thinking this way, Ying's mood lightened, and she happily exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

Seeing this, Paimon became happy, his face showing an expectant expression. Then he narrowed his eyes and smiled, making a cute face at Ying.

"Mmm, delicious! This method will definitely work, hehe."

Paimon's belief that immortals would be moved by delicious food is not entirely illogical.

When we visited the True Lord of Cloud-Borrowing Wind and the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons before, didn't we invite them out with delicious food and almond tofu?

"Why don't we hurry up and head to 'Wanwen Collection House' to see if they have any of the latest and best trendy recipes?"

So, Paimon and Ying traveled at a leisurely pace, spending a whole day traveling from Wangshu Inn to Liyue Harbor, to Wanwen Collection Inn...

Ji Fang, the owner of Wanwen Collection House, is packaging books for a masked man.

"Is this the only one you want, 'The Record of the Guardian Immortals and Yakshas'?"

"Okay, here you go, keep the change."

"Wow... the boss is so generous... thank you for your patronage!"

After buying the books, the man picked up the bag containing them and left.

As he watched the man's departing figure, Pamond felt a sense of familiarity.

"Isn't this the 'Celestial Lord of Many Stars and Missing Stars'? What do we do here again?"

"It is the 'Star-Picking and Star-Catching Heavenly Lord'..."

After correcting Paimon's mispronunciation, Ying silently marveled.

Fate is truly wondrous; I met the other person as soon as I arrived in Liyue Harbor.

At this moment, Paimon asked curiously, "I think I heard the book he just bought was called... 'The Record of the Guardian Immortals and Yakshas'? I remember it was a book about immortals. Why would an immortal buy a book about himself?"

Looking at the innocent Paimon, Ying said naively, "It's narcissism, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this conclusion, Paimon pondered for a moment.

"That makes sense! But thinking about it carefully, something about this immortal seems a bit off..."

Seeing that Paimon had finally grasped the point, Ying then shared her own thoughts.

"It feels like the tricks of a con artist."

"You mean... he actually doesn't have the ability to grant wishes? Hmm..."

Having made this guess, Paimon's brain began to work at high speed, and he started thinking.

"It seems necessary to verify the contents of the book; we might be able to find some leverage against it!"
