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

Looking in the direction of the sound, I indeed saw an elderly person strolling in the street.

"Zhongli!"

Zhongli turned around and saw Ying and Paimeng. He smiled at the two of them.

"I didn't expect to run into you two here. Are you also here to make purchases?"

"Yes, Xiangling's Wanmintang is so busy, we're here to buy things for her."

Paimon waved the pastries he had just bought on a whim: "Zhongli, you just said... did you come here to buy some things?"

Should we have Geomancer purchase some items?

Zhongli smiled and said, "The hall master gave me a piece of paper and told me to purchase the items listed on it."

Paimon nodded his little head. Oh, it was Walnut. No wonder.

"By the way, Zhongli, Qingge said she'll be guarding the Layered Rock Abyss throughout this Lantern Festival. Could there be some great danger inside?"

Paimon leaned close to Zhongli's ear and whispered something very quietly.

Zhongli: "Each of the seven stars has its own responsibilities. Being in this position means taking on this responsibility. Personally guarding key locations before any hidden dangers are completely eliminated is very much in line with the character of Kaiyang Star."

Paimon: "That means she can only stay in the Rocky Abyss during the Lantern Festival... Ying, let's go see her then, Qingge is all alone and it's quite pitiful."

Anyway, she and Ying can teleport, so it's quick to go back and forth.

Zhongli bid farewell to the two and continued to purchase the items listed on the paper.

……

Lord Guyun.

The place where Oser was sealed.

The malicious entity arrived here without making a sound, slowly injecting the abyssal energy within its body into the seal.

He moved very carefully, and the sea did not even ripple.

The vortex demon has been sealed for a thousand years, and its strength has long been greatly reduced. It doesn't matter, the abyss will grant it power. As long as it still harbors hatred for Morax and the people of Liyue, it can become a great help to him—malice—and wreak havoc on Liyue!

……

Qingce Village, a dark underground place.

The legendary evil dragon's body had already taken shape, and judging from its size, it was even larger than before it was killed.

At this moment, it flicked its black forked tongue, hiding deep underground in Qingce Village.

This is a monster entirely constructed out of malice, consuming the most emotional feedback, and completely controlled by malice.

……

Under the dragon tree.

The Dragon King, who could shake mountains, slept soundly within the seal, seemingly unaware of the approaching malice.

As it slowly approached the seal, Ruoduo's scarlet eyes finally opened when the dark hand touched the rock pillar.

However, it only had time to see the creature in front of it before its consciousness was plunged into endless darkness.

Malice stared at his masterpiece: the enormous dragon king lay on the ground, surrounded by dark abyssal power, while the seal remained intact.

"Now is not the time for you to go berserk. Wait one more day, just one more day, and you can unleash your thousand-year-old grudges upon this vast Liyue!"

He spread his arms wide maliciously and roared, his voice no longer broken and intermittent as before.

I have to say, emotional feedback is really useful.

It can accomplish many things that malicious intent cannot!

……

A huge abyss of rock.

With only one day left until the Lantern Festival, Yelan returned home.

Today, Paimon brought the delicious cookies she had mentioned before.

"Qingge, you must try this! Yunling made it especially for you!"

"Made especially for me?"

Ying smiled and said, "We told Yunling about what happened in Liyue, and she was very interested in you. As soon as Paimon mentioned it, she immediately agreed."

Qingge smiled and said, "Then please thank Yunling for me when you see her again. I never expected to make such a friend before I even went to Daoqi."

Ying and Paimeng described to Qingge what kind of person Yunling was, which aroused Qingge's curiosity.

"Hearing you say that, this Yun Ling seems to resemble my sister quite a bit."

Paimon: "Qingxu doesn't seem like a carefree person."

Qingge: "Hehe, Paimon, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that they are all very easy to get along with and very understanding."

Qingge took a stone from her bosom and handed it to Paimon.

"Little Paimon is so good to me, he even brought me some delicious food, so I'll take this as a return gift."

"What's this?"

"A small gadget that can store things. This is a treasure I obtained from the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. It's especially effective for storing food!"

Paimon held the stone up to his eyes and looked at it, but couldn't figure out what it was.

Qingge smiled when she saw her expression and taught her how to use it:

"Paimon, imagine putting these cakes inside."

Paimon thought about Qingge's request and immediately put the items away.

Then she let it out, then put it back in, then let it out again…

Paimon repeated this several times, his little face beaming with smiles.

"It is said that this is a special container used by the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing to store food. If you just stir-fry a dish and put it in, it will still be steaming hot when you take it out a few days later."

"Wow!"

Paimon's eyes sparkled; this treasure was perfect for her!

"Qingge, you've been too good to Paimon. Paimon has decided that from now on, you'll be number three on my list of the best people here!"

"Oh, so who came in second place?"

"Hehe, Yun Ling is in second place..."

Qingge didn't ask about the first place winner because she had already guessed it.

Paimon finally took out all the cakes, and the three of them ate them together.

Just then, a soldier from the Thousand Rock Army entered from outside the door.

"Lord Mu, your sister is here to see you. She's outside."

"Qingxu?!"

No sooner had Qingge finished speaking than a figure rushed in and threw himself into Qingge's arms.

"sister!"

Feeling the warmth in her arms and looking at her younger sister, Qingge finally managed to utter a single sentence after a long while:

"Qingxu, what brings you here?"

"Sis, you didn't even go home for the Lantern Festival, so I came to find you because I missed you."

"Mom and Dad..."

"Sis, I left a note, so Mom and Dad won't worry!"

Qingge: "..."

……

The world of players.

More than a month has passed since the last mission in the Laminar Abyss, and the New Year is just around the corner here.

This is the first year since Genshin Impact launched, and many netizens are speculating about what kind of benefits miHoYo will give out during the Chinese New Year.

Genshin Impact has updated, and this new quest series is titled "The Steadfast Rock".

Chapter 115 Darkness Comes

With the Lunar New Year approaching and the weather very cold, Chen Xiyao put on a down jacket early in the morning and started her live stream.

"Hey everyone, I heard the organizers of this year's Lantern Festival have really gone all out. Let me show you around!"

Since the download was completed in advance, the loading time was only a short while.

After logging in, the first thing Chen Xiyao clicked on was the event page.

After claiming the 10-pull I already knew about, I also saw that miHoYo gave me a permanent 5-star character to choose from.

"This is pretty good perk. It's rare for miHoYo to be this generous."

After all, it's a holiday, so while there are quite a few small perks, there aren't many.

At this moment, Chen Xiyao saw comments on the screen asking her to open the email.

"Email? Is there some kind of perk involved?"

This wasn't officially announced by miHy, was it added at the last minute?

Upon opening the email, Chen Xiyao was immediately stunned.

To thank travelers for their companionship, Paimon has prepared 3200 Primogems, which will be distributed over eight days during the Lantern Festival. We hope travelers will be patient and understanding when interacting with Paimon!

Click to claim, and you will receive 400 raw stones.

"Holy crap, has miHy had a change of heart?"

Since its launch, miHoYo has always been known for being stingy, always reluctant to give out any perks. But this time, during the Lantern Festival, they not only have a 10-pull, but also a 5-star character to choose from, and even more 20-pulls to be given out in installments?!

This doesn't even include the rewards from the Lantern Festival special events. All of this adds up to how many draws you'd need to collect during the Lantern Festival.

The various streamers will be entering the card pool during this Lantern Festival, and the dowry for Kaiyang Star has already been obtained.

【Seriously? So generous? Is this really the mihy I know?】

Looks like I have no choice but to play!

[Hehe, the steadfast rock, isn't that exactly what Qingge is all about? After waiting so long, she's finally online!]

[Haha, I think miHoYo released so many perks because they were scared off by the online backlash.]

[A little more patience and tolerance—doesn't that just mean we stop yelling at him?]

[Heh, now you're scared? Why didn't you say so when you were stabbing me?]

[Damn it, I'm at work again. This damn palace chief still won't give us a day off, ugh...]

【…】

Urged on by netizens, Chen Xiyao began working on the main storyline.

……

Liyue.

On the day of the Lantern Festival.

The mouth of a deep abyss in layered rock.

"Ying, I'll have to trouble you this time."

Ying: "It's okay, I will definitely bring back the fact that Qingxu is safe in the Layered Rock Abyss."

On this day, Ying and Paimon received a request from Qingge to return to Liyue Harbor and tell their families about Qingxu's situation there.

Having stayed in Liyue for so long, they still don't know where Qingge's home is.

However, Qingge had already given the two of them a simple map, and she believed that with Ying's abilities, she could definitely find it easily.

Mu Qingxu hasn't gotten up yet. She was so excited last night that she stayed up very late and can't get up today.
