Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

这本书，在2024年6月5号开始，一直到今天2025年2月7号，正式完结了。

However, brothers, I will still write side stories about Ivan's childhood intermittently.

To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with this book. Before the expedition to Liyue, I was diligently writing according to the original outline.

However, I went to the factory during that time and was very busy, so I didn't update much. Later, when I had more time, I gradually started updating more frequently, and my writing became smoother.

It was around this time that I had the idea for two new books. Gradually, my income decreased, from over ten yuan to just a few yuan. Tomato Novels is a website where audiobook revenue accounts for the majority of my income, and that's how I made most of my living.

However, I am still very grateful for the tips I've received from many people. What impressed me most was a reader who tipped me 200 yuan, and after the website's share, I received a little over 130 yuan.

I went to his comments section and asked why he gave me so much money. He said it looked good.

This is the difference between the rich and the poor.

Rich people can tip their favorite authors as they please, but I wouldn't even let my favorite authors show me ads and earn a penny from me. I even play single-player games by sharing them with friends; if they're not available, I find pirated copies. Only a few years ago, when I was less mature, would I spend money to buy them.

For example, I recently played The Last of Us and told a friend that the game's plot was just right, and that many of the storylines were worth using as inspiration for a book. My friend jokingly said, "You play a pirated version, so it's fine to praise it, but don't say anything bad about it."

I joked, "You make games and still want to make money? How come he gets all the good things?"

From childhood to now, I've spent less than 200 yuan on games in total. But I've spent over 500 yuan on physical books and paying to read ebooks.

Perhaps it's because I loved writing stories since I was a child that I became an amateur online writer.

This book accompanied me for eight months, from when I started writing it while working in a factory, to when I quit the factory, to when I found an agency to go to Suzhou to work in a factory again, to when I had my first love in the factory, only to find out that I was a virgin while she had been with more than ten people, and then I was cheated on. I quit the factory and went home to lie down.

My friends and I made plans for the new year: to continue working in design, even though it doesn't pay much, it's easy!

These past two years of odd jobs and factory life have taught me a lesson.

I'll never go to a factory again, not even when I'm begging!

It also made me start to envy, admire, and be jealous of someone.

Ma Hongyun, the top-selling member of the fifth generation of Rick!

I'm so envious of him.

When I started writing this novel, I was still playing Genshin Impact, but around August, I gradually quit because of work, and the withdrawal symptoms weren't very strong.

When I completely quit Genshin Impact, I felt how vast the world was!

I officially started playing Genshin Impact in 21 and left in August 24. It accompanied me for three years, from a humble student in school to a hazy working life, and now, we have experienced a lot together.

To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to give it up. I vaguely remember downloading Genshin Impact on the phone my mom gave me during the first closed beta test. At that time, I considered Xingqiu to be a female character and really liked her.

Then I played it for a couple of days and got a new phone, so I forgot about Genshin Impact. It wasn't until I bought a computer that I started playing Genshin Impact again on the recommendation of a classmate. This guy is still a very good friend of mine.

I remember back then, during the pandemic, the teacher was giving online review lessons, and my friend and I were playing Genshin Impact in the background. I said I wanted to see Barbara solo the Cryo Registra, and he said, "Dude, I have to grant you that wish."

After three hours, Barbara was killed by the Frost Tree more than a dozen times, but he succeeded. Then he said he wanted to see me, Xingqiu, solo the Water Sprite. I was killed by the Water Sprite more than a dozen times, but I succeeded too!

We successfully turned Genshin Impact into something like Sekiro or Elden Ring.

Genshin Impact once brought me joy, but that's all in the past. As I grew older, the storyline became childish, and I gradually started to feel annoyed. Eventually, I just logged in, did daily quests, and did the Abyss once every two weeks.

In fact, none of my exploration levels are 100%!

I also have many Genshin Impact fanfiction ideas, but they all ultimately fell through due to going off-topic or writer's block.

My new book is "Historical Legion Summoning System," which was my first book. I published it on Qidian.com when I was in junior high school, but it wasn't very good and lacked logic, although I still wrote more than seventy chapters.

I published this book, "Historical Legion Summoning System," in October 2023, but the plot went off track, so I put it on hold. I plan to rewrite and publish it, and I will mention it in the extra chapters when it is officially available to read.

This book is an abridged version. In the outline, after the War of Independence, Serius, the representative of the Temple of Hermanubis in the Seno mission, will make a brief appearance as foreshadowing, until the United Church seizes power after Ivan's "death".

After the War of Independence, the Treasure Thieves Zhang Haoerwo will complete his mission in Liyue and bring his family to join Ivan. The things he did will be resolved by Ivan in Liyue through negotiations with Ningguang. Then Ivan and Kong will go to Fontaine.

In the Fontaine storyline, I have a hypothetical scenario where Marcellus, because Ivan disrupts his plans, goes into hiding and sends two magicians from his company to fight the main characters.

These twin magicians are rivals to the Linnie siblings. They were adopted by the magicians at a young age and are willing to dedicate everything to their beloved magic. They are tried because of magic cases, and they reveal that Marcel is still alive.

These two magicians, when they were just becoming famous, watched a Liyue magician perform a trick involving pulling a goldfish bowl from his stomach. After following him, they solved the mystery. The Liyue magician was a thin man, and to perform the goldfish trick, he imitated the voice and gait of a fat man, applied a drug to his face to make it appear bloated, and wore loose clothing.

He was willing to endure a lifetime for this magic trick, even at the cost of ruining his lifestyle, appearance, and health.

So the twin magicians devised a plan: the older brother would fake his death and hold a funeral to hide from the world, while the younger brother would become a rising star magician, creating new magic tricks and making people appear out of thin air.

The younger brother disappeared in the center of the stage, and three seconds later, the older brother dressed as the younger brother appeared in the audience, holding a large bag of chocolates and selling his company's chocolates.

In the first half, the younger brother enjoyed the glory; in the second half, the older brother enjoyed the glory.

Due to an accident, the younger brother lost two fingers, and the older brother also cut off the same part of his fingers. This was their sacrifice for magic.

They kept the fact that the older brother was cheating on his wife a secret until they both got married. They claimed to the outside world and the inside world that the younger brother was two-timing. Sometimes the older brother would meet his sister-in-law, and sometimes the younger brother would meet his sister-in-law. Naturally, they would not show any affection for their brother's wife.

Based on this flaw, the protagonist breaks the magician brothers' magic trick and also discovers Marcellus, who invested in them. In the end, Marcellus is killed by the pure water spirit, the prophecy comes true, and Fontaine is flooded.

Navelette became a complete dragon, Fryna was freed from her divine position, and Ivan and Navelette shared the divine power of Fucarus, which was used to recreate the Eternal Oasis.

After the Everlasting Oasis reappeared, Ivan, utilizing the wonder's immense productivity, fulfilled his promise. He sailed a ship taller than the Moman Palace and married Funina.

Then came the Abyss invasion, and Ivan "died in battle." Sumeru and Liyue formed an encirclement to intervene in the desert, while Naviette and Regent Kong formed a counter-encirclement to resist. Finally, the Temple of Hermanubis betrayed the desert, causing significant damage.

During this time, Ivan was being treated by Barbatos until Barbatos finished treating him and killed the soul of the previous owner of the mech. Only then would Ivan arrive at the time tunnel.

The reason I castrated myself is that fewer people are watching and I'm earning less money, so I castrated a lot of people. I want to apologize for that.

I will rewrite "The Historical Legion Summoning System". I have many ideas for this book. As always, if there are few readers, I will censor it; if there are many readers, I will not censor it.

You are welcome to watch at that time.

Genshin Impact has been with me for a long time, and writing about Genshin Impact has also been with me for a long time. It's time to say goodbye to Genshin Impact.

Goodbye, Genshin Impact.
