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

Ying grabbed Paimon's little cape:

"Paimon, it's easy for us to misunderstand if we chase after her like this. Look how fast she's walking, she must have something very important to do. Anyway, we're not in a hurry, let's go later."

"Also, you can't run around while eating, especially when there are skewers, be careful not to prick your mouth!"

After Ying said that, Paimon realized that he had acted impulsively, apologized, and continued to enjoy his food.

This little guy is such a good child; he knows how to admit his mistakes and correct them!

……

Mu Qingge arrived at Yujingtai, where preparations were still underway.

Although the invocation ceremony for the immortals had not yet officially begun, quite a few people had already come to watch. The Jade Capital Platform was enormous, far more magnificent than the one in the game.

"Go, all of you. Be serious, stay at your posts, and don't make a single mistake!"

"Yes!"

The Qianyan Army generals following Mu Qingge were ordered to disperse and head to their respective mission areas.

From a distance, Mu Qingge and Ningguang, who was supervising the setup of the scene, exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.

Every year, the ceremony to invite the immortals is the busiest time for tourists. Many of the people waiting to watch the ceremony at Yujingtai are guests from the other six countries, and even people from Inazuma, which is still under a lockdown, are stranded here.

A female general with such a dashing and heroic demeanor as Mu Qingge naturally attracted a lot of attention.

As time slowly passed and the sun shone high in the sky, everything needed for the ceremony was prepared. The crowd of spectators surrounded the Jade Capital Platform in an orderly fashion, while the Thousand Rock Army maintained order on site.

Ying and Paimon also arrived at this place.

Wow~ It's spectacular, there are so many people!

Paimon was deeply impressed by the grand ceremony, and Ying, who was also very knowledgeable, opened her mouth slightly.

"Let's move forward a bit, we can't see anything here!"

Paimon said that she could fly, but Ying couldn't. Ying wasn't very tall to begin with, so she naturally couldn't see anything behind so many people.

So Ying took Paimon's little hand and led him through the crowd one by one.

······

real world.

After more than a month, Genshin Impact has finally ushered in version 1.1 - The Approaching Nemesis.

Thanks to the subtle influence of the Jiang Mumu system, the graphics and scale of Genshin Impact are many times better than the game Jiang Mumu played before.

In the past month or so, Genshin Impact has become the number one most popular game, and it is even being played by many people in other countries. Its positive reviews have been overwhelming!

Mondstadt's map is many times larger, the scenery is more realistic, the character models are better looking, and the combat experience is much better.

Even for an NPC with little screen time, the modeling is not done carelessly. It is rare to see two NPCs that are the same. Every frame is a high-quality production.

miHoYo—this previously unknown game company has suddenly become popular.

Such a large-scale production, yet it's a free game, which is completely incomprehensible to countless companies of the same type. The emergence of Genshin Impact dealt a huge blow to other companies.

The map has become larger, and there are more puzzles, but the rewards have not increased at all. Players now have to grind for dozens of times more, which effectively suppresses the emergence of players during inactive periods.

As a streamer, Guozi hasn't been streaming any other games lately; she's become a die-hard fan of Genshin Impact. After completing her quests, all she does every day is take her viewers on a virtual tour of the open world.

Whenever she accidentally solves a problem and gets a treasure chest, she smiles more brightly than a flower.

Today is the release date for Genshin Impact version 1.1. She had already pre-downloaded it and, instead of waiting for her usual livestream time, she started streaming early in the morning.

"Good morning, everyone! Today is the Genshin Impact story update. Let me take a look at how the story is going!"

While waiting for the file to load and compress, Guozi excitedly rubbed her hands together.

"I heard that Liyue is modeled after our country. With miHoYo's modeling skills, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Having such good models and such large maps also has a problem: the memory usage is really large. Although the game company has done compression processing and the processor is quite good, so even on less powerful devices there won't be any lag, the sheer size of the map still means it will take a lot of time to complete.

After finally loading, Guozi immediately entered the game.

Sure enough, a large undeveloped area appeared on the left side of the Mondstadt map.

Although they were prepared, the viewers in the live stream were still greatly shocked when they saw such a large map!

Holy crap, they updated so much! There's a new map to grind on now!

[Let's go live! See what a model based on our country looks like!]

Following the quest guide, Guozi arrived at the border between Mondstadt and Liyue—the Stone Gate.

The scene here is noticeably different from Mondstadt. Having spent so much time in Mondstadt, I hadn't noticed the difference at first.

Until we arrived at Liyue Harbor and stepped onto that large rock.

In an instant, the entire Liyue Harbor came into view.

The harbor boasts a variety of architecture, from grand palaces and towering houses to numerous sailboats and ships. The trees rustle in the breeze, and wisps of smoke rise from chimneys. With the addition of music, a traditional Chinese atmosphere washes over you, making you feel right at home.

Wow, is this port really that big?!

[Ahhh, so beautiful, I love it! Mondstadt is pretty too, but its Western-style architecture doesn't really appeal to me. Liyue is so beautiful!]

Holy crap, I can actually see customers and vendors chatting in the harbor from this far away, wow...

This is abnormal; aren't there a lot of NPCs?!

[It's definitely more comfortable to look at things on a computer; the phone screen is just too small.]

[Can't you even play this on your phone upstairs?!]

【...】

Chapter 20 The Explosive Popularity of Kaiyang Star

"Guys, this is way too real!"

Upon entering Liyue Harbor, the streets were surprisingly crowded with pedestrians, each with their own business. The stalls were filled with all sorts of goods, making it feel incredibly real!

"Wow, I'm amazed by the Genshin Impact team time and time again. They're really willing to spend a fortune. This is even more outrageous than the NPCs in Chinese animation. They must have already lost a lot of money by burning through cash like this!"

Manipulating Ying to approach an NPC, carefully observing the NPC's model and expression, Guozi finally came to a conclusion.

Salmon is really burning money!

While walking around Liyue Harbor, the screen suddenly went black and a short animation appeared.

Luminous and Paimon were walking and talking when Paimon flew to Luminous's left and then to her right, occasionally doing a somersault in the air.

Suddenly, Paimon's eyes lit up as he was drawn to the stalls next to him, while only Ying continued walking and talking to the air.

It took Ying a while to react, and her expression immediately changed. With a dark face, she found Paimon, who was buying grilled fish.

This little incident, combined with the familiar architectural and cultural style, made everyone in the live stream laugh.

Paimon is still Paimon; he can't resist food.

I'm growing to love this little guy more and more; he's just too adorable!

[It seems Paimon hasn't been frugal since he received 100 million Mora from Nora. In many mission scenarios, Paimon has been seen secretly taking things out to eat when Luminous isn't looking.]

[Weren't we supposed to split the 100 million Mora 50/50 with Paimon? Why hasn't my Mora increased at all?]

[Ahem, that's for Paimon and Luminosity to eat and improve their lives, not for us to upgrade our artifacts.]

[Sob, I miss my waifu Nora! She didn't even make it into the gacha pool, and there's been no news about her since the story ended...]

[Ugh, another day of thinking about rich girls. Game developers, miHoYo, right? They're so bad at making money! Just throw Nora into the gacha pool, no matter which one, and if the revenue isn't high, I'll change my name!]

Guozi glanced at the audience who had gone off-topic, and thought of Ruola, the lively little girl she quite liked.

The one-handed sword she gave me is now the protagonist's signature weapon, transforming the protagonist from someone with no mechanics into a powerful damage dealer.

Those elemental sword energies felt really satisfying when they hit the monster!

It's a pity that even in the game, you can't see the character unless you're doing a quest.

That's the downside of miHoYo.

Ahem, I'm off topic.

Refocus your attention on the main quest; by this time, Luminous and Paimon have already started eating.

Amidst a burst of noise in the game, another short animation began.

On the bustling and prosperous street, a valiant female general, followed by several imposing and powerful-looking soldiers, walked swiftly but unhurriedly past Ying and Paimon not far in front of them.

The moment Guozi saw the female general, her heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and her heartbeat became rapid.

What does that feel like?

Hmm... It should be the feeling of a modern, traditional young girl meeting a top-tier general in her imagination, like Hua Mulan or Mu Guiying!

"Wow~ She's so cool! I really like her family, this time it's definitely for real!!"

Unlike Anqi, whom I saw at the foot of the snow mountain, this woman's attire was exactly what Guozi imagined a woman should look like, and what she should look like!

He's the kind of strong person who looks reliable at first glance!

Many female viewers in the live stream shared the same sentiment as Guozi: they were excited and happy to see such a female general.

Male viewers, on the other hand, were a different story; the screen was filled with comments like "Wife!" which made Guozi a little embarrassed.

[Ahhh, this perfectly hits my fantasy! Who is this character?!]

This is exactly how I imagined a female general to be—absolutely stunning and incredibly powerful!

[I hereby announce that another member has been added to my harem!]

[It has to be admitted that miHoYo has a knack for this; their modelers are incredibly skilled!]

(Jiang Mumu: Ahem, you think it took so much time to create?)

[But why is it white hair? If my design is based on our country, wouldn't black hair be better? Although white hair is very beautiful!]

White hair is a staple of anime and manga culture. In fact, having too much black hair in anime can actually make someone look less attractive, which is quite normal. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with white hair; in fact, I find it very striking!

Even after the animation ended, Guozi still looked like she wanted more.

"So she's Mu Qingge, the one in charge of Qianyan Army? Wow, everyone, Qingge seems to have a very high position!"

[Hehe, the name Liyue is still the most familiar to me, Mu Qingge, what a nice name, the surname Mu...hehe...]

[I remember that the top power structure in Liyue is the Seven Stars and Eight Gates. Mu's wife is one of the Seven Stars, Kaiyang, who is in charge of military affairs and has real power. Tsk tsk...]

[I agree with everything except what you said about Mu Qingge being a wife. We still have the letter Ruola asked us to deliver. Streamer, hurry up the plot, we'll see Mu Qingge soon.]

Guozi thought so too, and the plot was moving faster as she hoped to see the female general who had just passed by soon.

……

Liyue.

Yujingtai.

The invocation ceremony was about to begin, with all the Seven Stars and Eight Gates present. The entire venue was packed with people, and everyone held their breath.

Ningguang approached the table and began casting a spell.

The release of the Geo elemental force seemed to be telling the Emperor:

We are ready and ready to welcome the Emperor's arrival!

Dark clouds loomed in the sky, thunder roared, and Ningguang's expression turned solemn, because this was completely different from the previous years' summoning ceremony!

Before Ningguang had much time to react, a colossal Xuanhuang dragon descended from the dark clouds and crashed onto the ground in full view of everyone.

In the original game, the Emperor's dragon body was small, which made it less imposing. However, both in the actual game and in the game after system improvements, the Emperor's dragon body is enormous!

Although there were many people watching the ceremony at Yujing Terrace, a large open space was left in the middle, and the dragon body that the Emperor descended almost completely filled this open space.

Ningguang and her three secretaries were fortunate enough to escape being hit.

The crowd that witnessed this scene became agitated, with many Liyue residents becoming extremely agitated, and the scene descended into chaos.

"Chiyan Army, maintain order at the scene!"

Mu Qingge's voice, amplified by elemental power, carried far, prompting the Thousand Rock Army on site to immediately take action.

Having given the order, Mu Qingge arrived beside the Emperor's dragon body at her maximum speed.
