Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Lin Qiu went to the opera house to "watch a play," but unlike Lin Qiu's relaxed state, Mondstadt was in the midst of intense preparations.

The original plan was to visit the temple guarded by the four winds first, but the news of the traveler's arrival made the knights temporarily stop their journey.

Let's first set up defenses in the city to stop the Stormterror.

It's important to know that Teyvat in reality is very large, and going to the temples protected by the four winds is not a matter of going and returning in one day.

If the Stormterror comes along on the way to the Knights' expedition, that would be terrible.

Meanwhile, the Traveler and Paimon, who are the main characters, are still in the forest with Amber.

This forest is vast, and monsters roam within it.

Even with Amber leading the way, it wouldn't be possible to get out in a short time unless they flew.

“Wait, you mean this book was only released yesterday?” Paimon said, reading the 'book of prophecy' in his hand.

The book is almost half her size, making the illustrations particularly funny.

Just now, Paimon and Ying finished reading this book. Ying was alright, she read it rather quietly.

Paimon's little mouth never stopped, sometimes exclaiming "Wow!" and sometimes making a "Huh?" sound.

"Wait a minute? Wasn't Amber at Windsor Heights yesterday? How did she manage to buy the book?" Paimon noticed something interesting.

Given the distance between Windrise and Mondstadt, even riding a monster wouldn't allow for a day trip, right? Unless you're riding a dragon!

“Kaiya bought it for me and then delivered it via Windhawk,” Amber explained.

The Windhawk is a magical beast trained by Mondstadt specifically to deliver crucial intelligence.

It is extremely fast, possesses considerable combat power, and can even determine the location of friendly forces based on wind elements.

This is the kind of magical beast that Kaeya used to deliver books.

He not only gave one to Amber, but also to Yura.

However, Yura was busy keeping a close eye on the Fools and didn't have time to read.

"Kaia?"

Paimon tilted his little head and thought for a while, then made a 'sudden realization' gesture.

"Oh, is that the guy who seemed a bit wicked when he first appeared?"

"It's that pirate," Ying also remembered.

"Although Kaiya likes to tease others, play pranks, and occasionally cause trouble, he's not a bad person, and he's not a pirate either; he's a cavalry captain!"

"Huh? Not pirates?" Ying was a little disappointed.

"But he's wearing an eye patch and his skin is very dark. He can only be a pirate, right?"

"Yeah, and judging from Amber's description, she does seem a bit mischievous, and quite like a pirate." Paimon nodded in agreement.

Amber was somewhat convinced, and finally said helplessly, "You guys really defeat me."

Meanwhile, at the same time in Liyue, Hu Tao received a letter and a package.

The package contained Lin Qiu's book, and the letter read:

Dear Master, I feel as if we are meeting in person upon receiving this letter.

He's not dead yet.

"Oh dear, it seems the lavish funeral we prepared for Xiao Qiuqiu won't be needed for the time being."

Hu Tao looked at the letter in her hand with a grin, folded it neatly, and put it away.

In fact, she was still very worried about Lin Qiu.

After all, Lin Qiu was just an ordinary person without the Eye of God.

Traveling such a long distance is quite dangerous; encountering a monster on the way could mean certain death.

Seeing this letter now puts my mind at ease.

Zhong Li sat to the side, holding letters and books sent by Lin Qiu in his hands.

The contents of the letter were slightly different, but it only contained one sentence, which read:

'Brother Zhongli, I'm so sorry!'

This statement left even the well-informed Zhongli somewhat bewildered.

Did Lin Qiu do anything to wrong me? No.

Not only that, they also get along very well.

Of course he didn't know that Lin Qiu apologized to him in advance because he thought it would reveal Zhong Li's identity.

In Zhongli's eyes, Lin Qiu was a fascinating person who could tell many interesting stories that even he himself did not know.

For example, there is a story that Zhongli really likes to hear, which is about a monkey demon who rebels against Sky Island.

Finally, it was sealed and suppressed, and after experiencing various hardships five hundred years later, it was recruited by Sky Island.

Although the ending wasn't entirely happy, Zhongli admired this spirit of resistance.

Perhaps that guy Barbatos would like it even more than he does?

“Master, generally speaking, Mr. Lin is older than you.” Zhong Li took a sip of tea.

"But I'm the boss, it's not unreasonable for me to have a few privileges, is it?"

Hu Tao leaned back in the chair, her neck resting against the back, her little head looking up at Zhong Li.

“This…” Zhongli was speechless.

Walnut remained in that position without sitting up, and held up the book, saying:

"I didn't expect Xiao Qiuqiu to be writing a book too. Are all people with 'Qiu' in their name good at writing?"

"Guest, do you think I could write a good book if I used the pen name 'Hu Qiu'?"

"It's definitely possible, right? This master is already so talented in literature, and if his name also contains the character for 'autumn,' wouldn't that be a perfect combination of strengths!"

Hu Tao's almond-shaped eyes gleamed.

"...It probably has nothing to do with the name," Zhongli said helplessly.

Having lived for so long, only walnuts have given him a sense of elusiveness.

"Irrelevant? What a pity."

"Then why don't I tell Xiao Qiuqiu about the things that happen to me in my daily life, and let him write them down? He'll definitely write some interesting stories."

Hu Tao then came up with another brilliant idea.

"This master is very generous. No need for a signature, just an advertisement for the Hall of Rebirth. Wouldn't that open up the international market?"

"Oh no, oh no, could it be that I, the master of this hall, am truly a business genius?" Hu Tao smiled radiantly.

She never imagined that Lin Qiu would actually write a story for her in the future.

"The current head of the hall? Hmm... I can't handle that kid."

Chapter 16 Zhongli and Lin Qiu

"Master...why don't we read some books first?"

"Moreover, from a generally rational point of view, shouldn't foreign funeral cultures be different from ours?"

Zhongli's words reminded Hu Tao.

"That's right! Our guest advisor is very thoughtful."

Just when Zhongli thought that Hu Tao had finally given up on the idea of ​​opening up the international market.

Hu Tao, however, lay on the chair, her little hands supporting her chin as she looked at him and spoke.

"Then we need to hurry up and learn about foreign funeral customs. You know the most, so you must know a lot about them. Why don't you teach me?"

"?" Is that what I meant?

Zhong Li thought, 'Should I also find some time to go to Fontainebleau for a vacation?'

Zhong Li stopped talking and took out the novel written by Lin Qiu to read.

Seeing that Zhongli was ignoring her, Hu Tao pouted, but did not disturb Zhongli and began to read seriously.

[The upholders of 'natural law' hereby end the usurpation of the 'sons of man'.]

Opening lightning strike.

"How did Lin Qiu learn about the principles of Heaven?" Zhongli wondered.

Although Lin Qiu knew more than the average person, he also had many interesting stories in his mind.

However, the stories he told Zhongli before were all fantasies.

But this story is true, and it's something that most people don't know.

"That's interesting." Zhongli began to show interest.

Anyway, Tianli is asleep now, so what's the harm in watching?

"Huh? I have a feeling I could be friends with this girl named Amber."

Hu Tao read faster because she didn't know what the principles of heaven were, so she didn't study them seriously.

Amber? Zhongli also read Amber's appearance and felt that this child was not as lively as the sect leader.

Compared to the girl named Amber, the boy in green attracted Zhongli's attention more.

He recognized the man as Barbatos at a glance.

It seems my old friend has finally woken up; things are about to get lively.

Thinking back, not long after the Demon God War ended, Wendy suddenly came to find him, which made him extremely nervous.

I thought Wendy had run into some trouble and was asking for help, so I specially brought my fairy companions to help.

It turns out this guy just came to drink with me.

Zhongli didn't doubt the contents of the book, after all, Lin Qiu had spoken of the truth of heaven, something that ordinary people wouldn't know.

"Oh dear, the dragon scourge looks very dangerous. I hope the residents of Mondstadt won't get hurt."

Walnut has already seen the place where Dvalin wreaked havoc in Mondstadt.

Hu Tao didn't think Lin Qiu had written a book of prophecy; she simply projected her own interpretation onto it.

Zhongli did not respond to Hu Tao's words, but instead fell into memories. She remembered that it was about a month ago.

That day, Zhongli saw Lin Qiu standing alone on the beach looking at the sea, so he curiously went up to him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering whether letting more people know the truth and the future is a good thing or a bad thing."

Lin Qiu sat cross-legged by the sea, resting his chin on his hand as he gazed at the ocean.

At this point, he had not yet decided to write the story of Teyvat, because the content of the story would make many things uncertain.

Zhong Li stood behind Lin Qiu without saying a word.

"Mr. Zhongli, won't you give me some advice?" Lin Qiuqi asked, expecting Zhongli to offer his own insights.

This is a rock god who has lived for countless years, and his views are invaluable to people.

Hasn't Liyue Harbor been operating under Zhongli's guidance all these years?

The current prosperity of Liyue Harbor proves Zhongli was right.

Zhongli shook his head, gazing at the distant sunset's afterglow, and said softly:

"Your thoughts should not be changed because of me."

As a god, Morax lived for thousands of years and witnessed countless rises and falls.

As a human, Zhongli only lived for a few decades.
