Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

Uh, I remember they seemed to have walked along a road, but the places they just passed through don't look like roads at all.

Paimon, who considers himself the best guide in Teyvat, put his hands on his hips and said, "It must have been that slope you just climbed that caused us to get lost!"

Ying: "I just asked you, didn't you say there's a road here too?"

Paimon remembered that she did say that, and gave an awkward smile.

Ying stroked her chin, climbed to a higher rock, and looked around. After a while, she jumped down, stroked her chin, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Ying, have you discovered anything?"

"I surveyed the surrounding terrain. Now, at this point, we..."

Ying walked in front, with Paimon following closely behind.

Paimon, who thought Ying had already found the way, saw Ying find a clean place to sit down and even take out some delicious food.

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

Paimon stomped his foot: "Hey, you bastard!"

Paimon joined in, took out his treasures, and pulled out two large ice creams, giving one to Ying.

Ying's eyes widened: "Paimon, when did you ask Yunling for ice cream?!"

Paimon: "Paimon bought this, but Yunling didn't want Paimon's Mora. No matter how I offered it to her, she wouldn't take it. Hehe, I was wondering if the ice cream would melt in here, so I tried it, and it really didn't melt. So I asked Yunling to help me make some."

Paimon looked up, knowing that the journey to Sumeru would be difficult, especially since Sumeru also had a large desert area. She had prepared a lot of delicious food.

Although Ying's cooking skills are quite good, they are still far inferior to Yun Ling's.

Ying suddenly realized why Paimon was often absent when they were in Inazuma; he had gone to find Yunling.

"Paimon, you're not even telling me if I'm still your best friend?"

Paimon: "Good things are meant to be revealed at crucial moments. If I told you beforehand, wouldn't there be no surprise now?"

fluorescent:"……"

After enjoying a delicious meal, Ying and Paimon continued to explore the road.

They had originally planned to spend the night in the rainforest, but as they walked, the view opened up before them, and they encountered another person.

Paimon went up to ask, but they were ignored.

Since this was the first person Ying and Paimon encountered in the rainforest, they didn't pay too much attention to his attitude and quietly followed him after he left.

The other person went into a cave, lit incense, and sat in meditation.

Ying and Paimon followed quietly, but Ying fell into a coma after smelling the incense.

After falling into a coma, Ying's consciousness arrived beside a giant tree with extremely thick roots and lush foliage.

Strangely, the trunk appears to be broken, but this does not affect the giant tree's normal growth. The entire giant tree radiates light, appearing extremely mysterious.

Moreover, the sky was red, which gave people a strange and oppressive feeling.

Ying's consciousness was drawn by a sound. She slowly walked towards the giant tree following the sound, but suddenly, a rock fell from somewhere and broke part of the tree's roots. Fortunately, Ying was agile and dodged the sudden crisis.

As Ying drew closer to the giant tree, she finally heard the murmuring voice clearly.

"...The world...forgot me..."

The intense light blinded Ying, and her consciousness was plunged into darkness once again.

……

Transform the city.

Cyria deliberately waited a while today, and even after hearing that Tinari and Cole had brought back a blonde traveler from the rainforest, she did not rush over immediately.

At night, when I'm going to sleep.

Since there were no suitable rooms available and due to Cole's request, Celia continued to stay in Cole's room.

Cole told Cyria about meeting the Traveler and Paimon that day, and also mentioned that the snacks Paimon gave her were delicious.

Cyria was very interested in this and decided to meet the traveler the next day.

"By the way, Aya, have you decided on your thesis topic yet?"

Cole knew that Celia was here on a mission, and that it was about a paper on plants, so she might be able to offer some help.

Cyria smiled; she had indeed already chosen a topic for her thesis.

However, some things that are shocking are the same for the people of Kolei and even the continent of Teyvat.

"I've already made my choices. There are some areas where I'll need Cole's help. I'll contact you then!"

"Yes, yes, as long as I can do it, Aya can come anytime!"

Cole seemed very happy; it felt really good to be needed.

Although she had only spent a short time with Aya, Cole already considered her one of her good friends.

He's my best friend besides Amber!

After Cole fell asleep, Celia continued to stare blankly at the ceiling.

She had seen the scene that Ying saw while she was unconscious before, but unlike Ying, she saw it while she was asleep.

Cyria didn't know why she could see it. She was initially a little panicked because, unlike Zhongli and the others, the Great Tree King of Mount Sumeru, the embodiment of wisdom, knew a lot. Cyria was worried that she might be seen through.

But as she saw it more often, she calmed down.

The Tree King has neither the time nor the energy to see her. Besides, she has already witnessed the power of the system, so the Tree King should not be able to see through it.

Moreover, even putting all that aside, Cyria's life is a complete life, a life that will be recorded in the ley lines, a real life.

While thinking about her thesis topic these past few days, Celia thought a lot, and finally she made a crazy decision—to use the World Tree as her theme.

Who says the World Tree isn't a tree?

As long as it's a tree, it falls under the category of the biophilosophy. She will fulfill Professor Elhesen's request, and she will do it very well!

The Tree King, if possible, she would also like to save it...

Chapter 156 Casual Talk on the Road

When Ying and Paimon arrived at Sumeru, the game in Jiang Mumu's hands was also progressing in sync.

The scene where Ying arrives at the World Tree while unconscious is exactly the same as what Cyria saw while asleep. The difference is that there were no falling rocks when Cyria arrived at the World Tree in her dream.

After this period of collection, perhaps because she worked too hard, she has collected more than half of Jiang Mumu's emotional feedback, while she has only collected two of the seven countries in Teyvat.

Players can further develop this technology.

At this rate, collecting enough emotional feedback is not difficult, and the extra emotional feedback greatly increases her operational feasibility.

Jiang Mumu once felt a strong sense of regret towards many of the characters in Genshin Impact.

She had no idea what to do with the knives from Mondstadt and Liyue, nor did she have time to deal with them. The same went for the knives from Inazuma; she only had time to save Rosaline.

She wanted to try Sumeru...

……

The world of players.

Chen Xiyao was already a bit tired after working through the main storyline to this point.

She also noticed that this update from mihy, which had been quiet for so long after the Lantern Festival, had quite a lot of story content. The previous update, "It Seems Like an Old Friend Has Come," would have been considered a full version in the past.

Unexpectedly, in addition to "It Seems Like an Old Friend Has Returned," this update also includes "The Dawn Brought by a Thousand Roses."

The key point is that the "Dawn Brought by a Thousand Roses" quest actually has a prerequisite quest: "Crossing the Smoke and Dark Forest".

The main storyline is indeed quite long. From the previous Nora storyline that made people's blood pressure soar to the current calm Sumeru storyline, it has to be said that miHoYo has handled it very well.

While this game has certainly been very enjoyable for players, playing it all in one go has been quite tiring.

After saying a few words to the viewers in the live stream, Chen Xiyao ended the broadcast, saying she needed to eat something and take care of some personal matters.

Chen Xiyao returned an hour later.

"Family members, let's continue!"

……

Sumeru.

Early in the morning, Ying and Paimon woke up. According to their plan from yesterday, they were going to find Cole today to gather some information.

As they left the room, they ran into Tinari assigning tasks for the day. Since Ying and Paimon had just arrived, Tinari arranged for them to patrol with Cole and Celia.

Cyria had only been there a few days, and she had been doing relatively easy work. Only occasionally, when Tinari had free time, would he take her and Cole deep into the rainforest to learn various things.

Seria stood next to Cole. Although she was a grass elementalist, her hair was a yellowish-brown, resembling maple leaves, and her attire was predominantly white. This made her stand out from the people on Huacheng Guo's side, immediately attracting the attention of Ying and Paimon.

From Ying's perspective, it seems that Cilia has been staring at Tinari the whole time.

Tina's ears are very well maintained; they're clean and fluffy. I wonder what they feel like to touch.

It wasn't until Cole gently nudged her that Celia finally looked away from Teacher Tinari's ear.

“Let’s go, Aya. Today we’re going to inspect Huacheng Guo and take the opportunity to maintain the Seven Gods statues there.”

"Uh-huh!"

After greeting Tinari, Celia, Cole, Ying, and Paimon left Huacheng Guo together.

……

"Hello, travelers and Paimon from another country. My name is Celia, and I am a good friend of Cole. Cole told me about you last night."

Ying: "Hello, my name is Ying. You can call me Traveler or Ying, it's up to you."

Paimon also said, "I am Paimon, and I am Luminous's good friend!"

This was a very important meeting; Ying and Paimon had met someone who was destined to leave a deep impression on them.

Although Celia and Ying had just met, they surprisingly got along very well.

As they chatted, Paimon asked, "Coley, and Cyria, do you know what kind of god the Grass God is?"

"Grass God?"

Kolei: "Are you asking about the Great Tree King or the Little Lucky Grass King?"

Paimon: "[The Great Tree King]? Oh, you mean the previous Grass God!"

Kolai: "Yes. The Great Tree King is the first grass god of Mount Sumeru. She created the rainforest and built sand barriers on the edge of the desert, which allowed everyone to live in peace."

"In the eyes of the Sumeru people, she was a symbol of wisdom, benevolence, and omnipotence, but she disappeared in a catastrophe hundreds of years ago."

Hundreds of years ago?

This time period reminded Ying of Raiden Shin, who also perished in the land of Kanria hundreds of years ago.

Kolai continued to explain: "I heard from my master that later the sages found the reborn Grass Goddess and took her back to Sumeru. To celebrate the return of the deity, the sages called her 'Little Auspicious Grass King' and let her live in the Pure Good Palace."

Ying, Paimon, and even Cyria listened attentively. Paimon was particularly interested: "Hmm, and then what?"

Cole: "And then? Uh... then I don't know."

At this point, Cyria took over the conversation: "Most of the Sumeru people today have never seen Lord [Little Lucky Grass King], and even her appearance is only deduced from the image on the Seven Gods statue."

Paimon was somewhat disappointed; it seemed that meeting the Little Lucky Grass King wouldn't be so easy for them.

"Do you want to see the [Little Lucky Grass King]?"

Ying and Paimon looked at Cyria in surprise. They hadn't said anything, so how did she know?

"Hehe, I could tell just by looking at your expressions, especially Paimon, he wore his thoughts on his sleeve~"

"Hey~?"

Paimon covered his face with his two little hands: "Is it really that obvious?"

Cyria: "Actually, it's not that obvious. I've read a book on micro-expressions. You could say I have a talent for this, but others might not be able to tell."

Paimon felt a little better after hearing this.

Cyria continued, "I often see Lord Little Lucky Grass in my dreams. If you want to see him, I can ask him for you."

Cole knew that Cyria could dream, even though Cyria was already an adult.
