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

[I chose Yunling, hehe. I wanted to see the streamer choose someone else. Lots of streamers choose Yunling, it's not fun.]

There were all sorts of opinions in the comments, but it seemed that Yunling had more supporters.

Chen Xiyao had already made her choice when she saw Yun Ling, but she also wanted to see the other roles.

Chen Xiyao controlled her character to wander around the Guardian Forest, first finding Goro.

Goro explained why he was there; in short, he was tricked and provoked by the Divine Child.

When the topic of teammates came up, Goro looked at Hotaru with sparkling eyes and invited her to team up with him.

Off-screen, Chen Xiyao hissed.

How can I refuse?

I feel so guilty!

Chapter 236 I'm not going to care about you anymore

Inazuma, the forest that guards the land.

"I'm sorry, we'd like to think about it some more."

She felt bad about refusing Goro Ying, but she had already met a certain guy and decided on her partner.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll go look for someone else."

Goro didn't seem too disappointed; he had prepared himself for rejection when he made the request.

The group chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Ying and Paimon walked to another place, where they met Ayaka.

"Ayaka, you're here for the test of courage too?"

Linghua slowly turned around, gently tapping her palm with her right folding fan: "Well, my brother said the test of courage competition is very interesting and recommended that I give it a try."

"I've never participated in a test of courage before, so I don't know what it'll be like."

Paimon: "I didn't expect that Ayaka is also playing for the first time."

Ayaka: "Actually, I'm not good at dealing with things involving gods and ghosts... I'm always worried that I'll be too impolite and bring shame to my family... Speaking of which, if I may ask, are you two partners?"

Paimon: "The shrine maiden just said that she thinks she's counting us as a contestant. So we're looking for a partner!"

Ayaka: "Great... If you don't mind, would you like to team up with me?"

Ayaka's voice held worry, but even more so, anticipation: "Being by your side makes me feel at ease without even realizing it. Ah, of course, if you want to be in a group with someone else, that's fine too..."

……

The world of players.

Chen Xiyao is once again facing a difficult choice.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have listened to you. How could you expect me to reject everyone? Do you really think the people who suggested this would do it?"

Chen Xiyao hovered her mouse between the two options, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and clicked on the second answer.

"Damn it!"

……

Guarded forest.

"Ayaka, let me think about it some more."

Ying felt even more embarrassed, as she and Ayaka were also very good friends.

Ayaka: "Yes, it's okay. I'll wait for you here. You can come find me anytime if you need anything."

After saying goodbye to Ayaka, Ying went to another location, where she found Manyo.

Manyo: "There's a familiar scent in the air. It really is you guys."

"Manyo!"

"It's been a long time, you two."

Paimon: "I didn't expect Wan Ye to participate in the test of courage!"

Man Ye: "Haha, do you think I'm someone who's completely out of place at a test of courage?"

Paimon quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's just that I've never seen Wanye look scared before."

"Fear?"

Manyo explained, "Perhaps because I often sleep outdoors in the wilderness, I've heard many strange and unusual tales, and I've also experienced some of them myself, so I've become somewhat accustomed to it..."

Paimon: "Then why did you come to participate in the Test of Courage, Manyo? Isn't this place challenging enough for you?"

Wan Ye: "I heard that the Society has prepared a lot of rewards, including delicacies carefully made by Yun Ling. Knowing this, I knew you would come, so I came here to see you."

Paimon covered her mouth: "You came here specifically to wait for us?"

Man-yo: "Yes, how's your recent trip going?"

Paimon: "Uh... I thought it would go smoothly, but actually it didn't go smoothly at all... Never mind, let's not talk about that. I just heard from the shrine maiden that you need to find a partner to participate in the test of courage. Has Manyo found one yet?"

Man-yeo: Not yet, what about you guys? Do you need me to be your partner?

……

Are all the male wind characters this good at flirting?

【Manyo! He's been waiting for me all this time!】

Say yes! Say yes!

【…】

Chen Xiyao refused again. Although she felt bad for Wan Ye, she had no choice but to temporarily put up with it for the sake of the live broadcast.

……

Guarded forest.

Despite being rejected, Wan Ye's tone remained gentle: "No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities to chat, so there's no need to be bound by this moment. It would be nice to go for a late-night snack together after the courage test."

Ying and Paimon left Manyo again and walked in the other direction.

In many places within the Guardian Forest, the grass grew lushly. Under a tree, Yun Ling was lying on her back, fast asleep, hugging something.

Yunling was sleeping soundly, and didn't even notice when Ying and Paimon came over.

Ying was about to wake Yunling when Paimon quickly covered Ying's mouth and put up his index finger to shh.

Ying didn't know what Paimon was up to, but no matter what, Paimon wouldn't harm Yunling. Ying was also curious about what the little guy wanted to do.

Paimon gave a goofy smile, took out a feather from behind his back, and flew to Yunling's side.

Ying patted her forehead. This little guy…

Paimon ran the feather over Yunling's nose. Feeling itchy in her sleep, Yunling reached out and scratched it, then turned her head to the other side.

Paimon chuckled and floated to the other side, continuing to tease Yunling.

"Ah... Ah-choo..."

A sneeze jolted Yunling awake. She sat up abruptly, accidentally bumping her head against Paimeng's. The two of them clutched the spot where they had bumped and howled.

"Paimon, and Luminous, what are you doing here?"

Paimon lowered her little hand from her forehead, which was now completely red, and pouted.

"That's what we should be asking you! Yunling, how could you sleep here? It's too dangerous!"

Yunling touched her head blankly: "Uh... I seem to remember that I came to deliver food to the little raccoons of Wubaizang, and then I got a little sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it."

Paimon: "Yunling, you're so carefree! You can actually fall asleep in a place like this?!"

Paimon and Yunling chatted away, each taking turns saying a sentence, while Ying, standing beside them, fell into a deep silence.

This scene had happened before in Mondstadt, where the person who also fell asleep in dangerous places was one of their good friends…

"Yunling, are you alone? Where is your partner?"

"partner?"

Yunling looked around. She hadn't even had a chance to look for it yet. She hadn't expected to fall asleep after just delivering a meal.

"Luminous, are you and Paimon on the same team?"

Paimon then brought up what the witch had said.

Yun Ling's eyes lit up: "So, you're still missing a partner. How about me?!"

Yunling seemed to know that she was very cute. She blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and stared at Ying expectantly, as if she would burst into tears the next second if Ying didn't agree.

Ying's heartstrings were instantly touched, and she immediately nodded in agreement.

……

The world of players.

"Holy crap, I don't care about you guys anymore, I want my Yunling!"

Chen Xiyao immediately agreed, feeling that she would feel terrible for Yun Ling if she hesitated even for a second.

So how did those people in the comments who claimed to have rejected Yun Ling manage to hold back? Could they really bear to reject someone like Yun Ling?!

Are we all just lying to ourselves?!

Chapter 237: They've come to buy more goods?

Guarded forest.

After successfully forming a three-person team, they returned to the shrine maiden's place.

"It seems you've found your partners successfully. The test of courage is about to begin. Now, I'll announce the item you need to find for the first round of the test of courage. It's called 'Omi Narukami Master's Small Cake,' along with some dango milk."

"small cake?"

Paimon's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

The shrine maiden looked at Yunling and said, "These little cakes are generously sponsored by the famous chef Yunling, the master chef of Inazuma. Whoever finds them can keep them."

If it weren't for the rules set by the High Priest, she would have wanted to participate in the test of courage as well.

It wasn't really to test her courage; the shrine maiden had always known she wasn't very brave. The main reason was Chef Yunling's delicious food.

Yun Ling felt a little embarrassed to be called the God of Cookery to her face.

This title was given to her by the goddess, because she conquered Thor with just her delicious food.

The shrine maiden said, "There's more than one small cake. The more you find, the better your score will be. There will be directional signs along the way, but there are also forks in the road. All sorts of strange things may happen on the way. If you can't persevere, you can quit at any time!"

"By the way, there are a lot of teams participating in this event. Several teams have already set off. If you're ready... let's begin."

Paimon: "Let's go, or someone else will beat us to it!"

Paimon was full of energy and seemed very confident, looking like she couldn't wait.

We're looking for food, especially food made by Yunling.

What's more, Paimon has eaten this little cake several times and loves it very much.

She hadn't eaten Yunling's little cakes in a long time.

The three of them descended the stairs, and to set the mood, Yunling began to tell ghost stories.

Yunling's ghost stories are different from those native to Teyvat. Her ghost stories are based on Inazuma and incorporate elements from Earth, making them more terrifying and captivating.

Paimon had unknowingly gone from being full of arrogance to being timid and hesitant. She leaned on Yunling's shoulder, her little head constantly looking around at the trees, afraid that another head might suddenly appear above them.

"Waaah, Yunling, please stop talking. I don't even dare to look at the trees around me anymore."

Paimon squeezed between Yunling and Ying, holding their hands: "Ying, are you alright? If anything jumps out, we'll... um... teach it a lesson!"

The little guy waved his tiny fists to cheer himself up.

The group arrived at a fork in the road.

The directional signs pointed to several different directions, and after discussing it for a while, the three decided that Paimon would choose.
