Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue
Chapter 41 Pretending to be a pig to eat Xingqiu
After spending a pleasant evening with the cats, the next afternoon, in Lingling's form, Hunyuan strolled along the streets of Liyue Harbor.
The cries of street vendors and the sounds of children chasing and playing reflect the prosperity of this city.
Can this nation, which has existed for over a thousand years, maintain its prosperity after losing its gods?
The sky gradually darkened, and a light drizzle began to fall.
The sounds of vendors hawking their wares and children playing gradually subsided as everyone went home to avoid the rain.
The rain gradually intensified, and the wind picked up. Liyue Harbor is a seaport, and the rain was accompanied by sea breezes.
But the rain seemed to have its own consciousness; it would stop automatically when it got close to Lingling's head and then scatter to the side.
The wind element formed an invisible barrier, and as Lingling walked step by step, the rainwater on the ground gradually receded with her footsteps.
Lingling followed the tutorial in the book provided by the system, imitating the techniques written in it. But after a short while, her elemental power gradually became unstable, as if it was about to dissipate.
Suddenly, the sound of raindrops hitting an umbrella could be heard overhead. A dignified-looking man walked up to Lingling.
Lingling quickly realized who the person was. The person also knew he had been recognized, so he asked.
"Young friend, do you think Liyue can remain as orderly as it is now after losing their gods?"
The two walked forward in tacit agreement. Huiyuan thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.
"In my original world, there was a civilization called Huaxia. From the wooden bows and stone spears invented by ancient humans to the steel birds and giant ships invented by modern Homo sapiens, it only took five thousand years. We had no divine protection or the help of immortals, only the cultural heritage from our ancestors."
Lingling looked up at the sky and used just one sentence to solidify the thoughts of the people around her.
"The people of Liyue, even without divine instructions, will seek shelter from the rain when it's about to fall. Children have grown up, and as parents, we must teach them how to use weapons. People will eventually grow old, and so will gods; children cannot rely on their elders for protection forever."
"I understand your thoughts, young friend. If Liyue encounters a crisis and becomes unable to take care of itself, would you be willing to lend a hand?"
"Of course. I've already signed the contract, so I'll definitely help with this."
"This is just a small favor... well."
Sunlight pierced through the clouds, and the rain gradually stopped. People gradually returned to their usual routines, vendors came out to sell their wares, and children came out to play.
The person beside him vanished without a trace. The identity of this mysterious figure was now self-evident: it was none other than the god of Liyue, the Geo Archon.
After the Emperor left, the system's announcement came on.
"You have received the blessing of the Geo God and gained two attribute points. Please use these attribute points."
"Focus all on speed."
"Speed level A, upgraded to SS level. Li Tiantian's skin status is SSS level, and Lingling's skin status is SR level. Host detected, actively practicing elemental power application, one Power Potion item is given as a gift."
After closing the system panel, Huiyuan suddenly had an idea.
"Don't novels and TV dramas always have that 'pretending to be weak to actually harm others' plot? Maybe... I should pretend to be weak to actually harm others too? Hehehe..."
Outside the city, Lingling hid the Eye of God and walked along a secluded road.
“In the middle of nowhere, a young girl came to me all alone. Brothers, I haven’t been with a woman in a long time.”
"Hehe, bosses, here's her tied up for you."
Huiyuan thought this kind of plot couldn't possibly happen so easily. But it happened just half an hour after it started.
Since we've run into each other, let's put on a show.
"Hey~ What are you doing~! If I get angry, even if you all come at me together, I can't beat you!"
These words excited the group of treasure hunters.
"Hehe...what can a little girl do? I can't hold back anymore, brothers—go for it, give her to the big brother first!"
As the treasure-hunting group drew closer, Huiyuan was about to unleash a super tornado when a boy's voice rang out.
"How dare they do such a heinous thing in broad daylight."
"Hey~ How dare a little boy ruin our good time? Who do you think you are?"
“Xing Qiu, a disciple of the Gu Hua Sect.”
The group of treasure hunters was about to speak when they saw the Eye of God hanging from Xing Qiu's waist and suddenly shrank back.
"Boss... he has the Eye of God..."
"So what if he has divine eyes? I think he's all show and no substance, he doesn't know any martial arts at all, get him!"
The treasure-hunting gang picked up the water element bottle and threw it at Xingqiu.
Xing Qiu didn't care at all, dodging the attack with incredibly agile movements. Then, without even using his sword, he rushed towards the treasure-hunting group and subdued them all with a few short punches.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Xingqiu stretched out his hand and said to Lingling.
At this moment, Huiyuan didn't know what to say. None of her family understood; she finally had a chance to play dumb and outsmart everyone, only to be saved by a handsome boy.
Helpless, Lingling replied, "I'm fine, thank you for your help, Mr. Xingqiu."
Seeing that Lingling was not injured, Xingqiu continued talking.
"Girls should take good care of themselves when they go out. Don't take such remote roads next time."
"Actually... I'm quite capable, I didn't need your help just now..."
Xingqiu looked Lingling up and down; she didn't seem to be a martial arts practitioner.
"Oh? Miss, being too confident is not a good thing. When you're out and about, you'll always encounter people who are better than you."
Lingling sighed and revealed the hidden Eye of God.
"Actually, I want to find someone I can practice with and try out the new spells I've learned..."
"Miss, even if you have the Eye of God, it doesn't mean you've become stronger."
Many people in this world believe that possessing the Eye of God means becoming stronger. However, possessing the Eye of God does not necessarily mean becoming stronger.
Before acquiring the Eye of God, if someone is an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, even if they can use the seven elemental forces, they are still an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts. The only difference is whether you can use elemental forces.
Around the world, there are many legendary places where people, despite not having the Eye of God, are able to brutally kill those who possess it.
The same applies to travelers. Even if they possess all five elemental powers, they can only use those five. What's the use of knowing more elemental reactions if their elemental mastery isn't high?
Moreover, elemental power was never the Traveler's original power. The Traveler's acquisition of elemental power during his travels through the seven kingdoms was merely a means to restore his strength.
If the traveler was just an ordinary person before, then even after obtaining elemental power, he will still just be an ordinary person.
