Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

After marveling at how incredible the new products the system had added were, evening arrived before we knew it.

"After upgrading my attributes, I'm much stronger. My thinking speed is also much faster, and I feel like I've gained a brain, which must be the effect of my mental strength. I feel like I can race with Su Bingtian now. If I were to go all out in a 100-meter sprint, I probably could finish in under 5 seconds. I'll have to see how the defense upgrade works."

Huiyuan grabbed a fruit knife from the kitchen and lightly touched it to her palm. (Dangerous action, do not imitate)

"There isn't a single trace left. It still has the texture of skin, but it feels as hard as rock."

After applying a little force, a cut was finally made, and a trace of blood seeped out, but the blade also became a little dull.

"It seems it's not indestructible, but... it's enough."

The wound wasn't deep, and with my endurance, it healed in no time.

After completing the tests and getting familiar with the enhancements to her body, Huiyuan picked out a new set of clothes from the wardrobe. It was a Liyue-style outfit worn by ordinary civilians, but the material was anything but ordinary, and it was very comfortable to wear.

"Sister Tongzi, will you design some cool clothes for me in the future?"

"I'll consider it."

After appreciating the system, whose voice had gained even more emotion shortly after, Huiyuan looked out the window.

"It's getting late, it's time for dinner, let's go to Wanmintang."

If you ask why I don't go to fancy restaurants now that I have money, it's because Wanmintang is really delicious, and I never get tired of it; it tastes just like home.

The real-life Liyue Harbor is several times larger than the Liyue Harbor in the game. The cries of street vendors, the laughter of children, the voices of storytellers, and the music of street performers create a unique and prosperous musical atmosphere that belongs to this country.

Inside Wanmintang store...

"Master Mao, one order of grilled tigerfish, with three kinds of shredded vegetables, and peace in all directions."

"Hey, that's good."

After being transported to Teyvat, Huiyuan's appetite increased significantly. The entire feast prepared for Ningguang when they met before, including the side dishes, was devoured by Huiyuan.

Looking around, Huiyuan asked, "Master Mao, why isn't Xiangling in the shop yet, it's so late?"

"Xiangling is out in the wild gathering fresh ingredients; she'll probably be spending the night there."

"Ow."

Although Xiangling was not there, Chef Mao's speed in serving the dishes was still as fast as ever, and before long, all the dishes were served.

"Here you are, this is the dish you ordered: Four-Sided Peace, Braised Three Shreds, and Grilled Tiger Fish. Sir, your appetite is still as big as before."

"Thank you."

After picking up her chopsticks and aligning them on the table, Huiyuan suddenly noticed a familiar figure approaching.

“Mr. Zhongli? You’re also dining at Wanmintang? Come, come, sit here. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

(The God of Wealth has arrived; we must treat him well.)

Zhongli was slightly taken aback when she saw Huiyuan, who looked completely different from her previous embarrassed state.

"Then, thank you very much, young friend."

After bowing, Zhongli sat down opposite Huiyuan.

After ordering two more dishes, Huiyuan asked, "Emperor...Mr. Zhongli, I heard there's a dragon calamity in Mondstadt, is that true?"

"Indeed, if you wish to go to Mondstadt, now is probably not the right time."

Zhongli looked Huiyuan up and down, slightly amazed.

“Young friend, your strength has changed dramatically in such a short time. Even if you travel alone, you might not need a bodyguard to reach Mondstadt safely. However, I would suggest that joining a merchant caravan as a bodyguard would be a good option.”

“Mr. Zhongli is incredibly insightful. Thank you for your advice. I do indeed plan to head to Mondstadt in a few days.”

After finishing her meal, paying the bill, and saying goodbye to Zhongli, Huiyuan began planning her itinerary for tomorrow.

The meal cost 20,000 Mora. It wasn't that Zhongli ordered expensive dishes; it was just that Huiyuan ate a few extra bowls of rice—really, just a few extra bowls!

The next day, Huiyuan came to Qunyu Pavilion again and met with Ningguang.

(Definitely not for the purpose of getting a free meal)

"Mr. Huiyuan, how are you finding the new house?"

“Very good, I like it very much. By the way... I made some extra Glock pistols last night, as well as some special armor that can withstand bullet attacks.”

After speaking, Huiyuan took out nine guns, 4500 rounds of ammunition, and four sets of bulletproof gear from the Eye of God and placed them on the open ground next to him. He kept only one set for himself as a spare.

"Consider these as a thank-you gift to Sister Ningguang. They should be enough to equip a guard team."

Ningguang glanced at the equipment and exclaimed in surprise, "You've manufactured so many weapons in such a short time. You're even more mysterious than I imagined!"

Picking up the pastries Bai Shi had brought, taking a bite, Huiyuan asked, "Sister Ningguang, I want to go to Mondstadt. Could you help me arrange a caravan?"

"It's nothing, is there anything else you need?"

"Hmm... During my time away, I'll prepare some materials and books and store them in my home's storage room."

After giving the instructions, Huiyuan said to the system in his mind, "Jarvis, give me an AWP, plus 100 bullets."

“110 million mora has been paid. 992 million mora remain.”

After placing the newly purchased sniper rifle on the table, Huiyuan continued talking.

"This gun is called the AWP, and its name is engraved on the gun. It is extremely powerful and can take the life of the enemy from a thousand miles away."

Huiyuan swallowed the pastry, took a sip of water, and then picked up another pastry, eating it as she spoke.

"The user of this gun needs to be calm and steady. If you want to attack an enemy thousands of miles away, you need at least a surveyor to assist you. It's similar to how someone on a ship needs to measure the wind direction and air humidity to determine if the course is accurate or if there are any sea monsters threatening ahead."

Ningguang touched the sniper rifle, her smile even harder to suppress than when she was using an AK47.

(If I were to auction this off... never mind, I can't sell it. Giving it to someone else might pose a threat. I'll keep it with my own people...)

"Mr. Huiyuan, you really know how to surprise me. This gun is exquisitely crafted and made of excellent materials. It must have been very difficult to make. I really don't know how to repay you for such a generous gift."

"Just give us more Mora. When traveling abroad, having more money will make us feel much more at ease."

Ningguang smiled and nodded.

"Sir, we share similar ideals. Would you be interested in taking on an additional position?"

"I dislike holding any official position..."

"Sir, you do not need to handle official business; you only need to be a figurehead. You possess power second only to the Seven Stars, and can mobilize some of Liyue's resources. With just a command, you can arrange everything to be in place, including the Thousand Rock Army."

Upon seeing this, Huiyuan was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he took out a Mora, clutched it in his hand, and, mimicking the way a contract is signed, swore an oath.

"Then I shall respectfully comply and cooperate in the way of the people of Liyue. I hereby establish a pact: I will live and die with Liyue, protect the lights of every household, and safeguard the peace of Liyue. Anyone who breaks their promise shall be punished."

The Mora in his palm shimmered with a dazzling light, and the Rock God cast his gaze upon it, witnessing this pact.

Ningguang looked at the shimmering Mora with composure.

"It seems that Lord Geo Archon personally witnessed this contract. Mr. Huiyuan, you may choose a title to represent Liyue, and use this title to prove your identity from now on."

"Then... let's call it 'Dawn'."

"What a fine title! From now on, you will be the 'Dawn' General of Liyue. Please take good care of me in the days to come."

Ningguang granted General Hunyuan the authority she had convened, a decision reached unanimously by the Seven Stars. There were two reasons for the unanimous vote: firstly, to test whether Hunyuan would become a threat to Liyue; and secondly, because with Hunyuan joining Liyue, the region would undoubtedly prosper even more.

"Dawn" refers to the time when the sun has just risen and the sky is just beginning to brighten. [Synonyms] Early morning. [Antonyms] Dusk | Evening.

Huiyuan finished the last dessert on the table and stood up.

"Haha, such a cool title would be perfect if I had a general's armor. Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Ningguang. After the Mondstadt trip, I will definitely bring you more surprises. See you another day."

"Okay, see you another day."

The following day, after meeting with the merchants arranged by Huiyuan and Ningguang, they set off for Liyue.

Suddenly, the system notification appeared: "Ding! A new quest, 'Journey to Mondstadt,' has been issued. The quest has multiple phases. Current objective: Protect the Liyue caravan and ensure their safe arrival in Mondstadt."

"Completion Reward: Unlock the new skill 'Miao Rock Knight,' which uses Geo elemental power to create a cat-shaped summon. Mimi will control 'Miao Rock Knight' within the catalyst 'Leisurely' to attack enemies, unleashing cat paw attacks. Each instance of damage dealt by friendly units (including Miao Rock Knight) applies one stack of 'Miao Gaze' to enemy units. The 'Miao Gaze' effect resolves when the duration of 'Miao Rock Knight' ends. Each stack of 'Miao Gaze' inflicts a 0.3-second petrification effect on enemy units, lasting for 7 seconds. Cooldown: 21 seconds (the stronger your Spirit, the shorter the control time)."
