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

Although he knew he was being used as a tool, Thomas was still quite pleased to hear Lin Qiu say that, after all, he had played a key role!

His role is the same as in the book: to be the victim of the hundredth Eye of God during the Eye Hunting Ceremony, using this as an excuse to lure out General Raiden.

Although there are some risks, with so many people around, the 'Eye Hunting Ceremony' will be all our own people, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Okay, I understand." Thomas sighed, thinking that being caught was probably Thomas's fate.

The patriarch himself will be arrested, and the prophet will also be arrested. Sigh.

The meeting concluded successfully, and Kujo Sara had already arranged for the magistrates to inform Raiden-shogun that preparations for the 'Hunting Eye Ceremony' were complete.

The ceremony for obtaining the 100th Eye of God will take place tomorrow.

Incidentally, there was someone at the Kamisato residence who didn't attend the meeting; that person was Ichito.

Both Shinkai, a member of the resistance, and Manyo, a ronin, participated. Guess who didn't receive an invitation?

However, Arataki Ichito didn't care. You just need to tell him where to go and who to fight. He's too lazy to understand if you say too much. As long as Shinobu is listening, that's enough.

The reason we didn't let him participate was because we were afraid he would find it too troublesome, and it wouldn't be good if he ended up simply choosing to go to the Sky Tower.

He was playing with Paimon at that moment, and coincidentally, Goro was there too.

As a general of the resistance army, Goro naturally came with Shinkai. It was Lin Qiu who arranged for him to play with Ichidou.

"I didn't expect you to be so small in stature, but quite strong!" Ichidou laughed.

He had just sparred with Goro, and he hadn't expected that this little dog general would be so strong.

“You are the one who is so strong even without the Eye of God,” Goro said with a smile.

“But I’m more curious about how you lead your Arataki-ha?” Goro asked.

He didn't know much about the size of the Arataki-ha, but Ichito and Kuki Shinobu were both quite strong, so it must not be a small gang.

In the second act, he learns about the mindset within the resistance, and then through conversation, he learns how well Ichito gets along with his brothers from the Araki faction.

So I plan to ask Yi Dou for his experience, learn from his advice, and go back to guide my subordinates.

"How do I lead the Arataki-ha?" Ichito thought for a moment. "I'll just befriend them."

"Being friends..." Goro pondered, truly profound.

To be able to be friends with so many of his subordinates, this Araki Ichito is truly no ordinary man.

No wonder they were able to form the Araki Faction, and no wonder they could have someone like Hisaki Shinobu as their subordinate.

"I understand, and I will try my best." Goro nodded, his tone serious.

Ichidou scratched his head. What did he know? What was he going to try?

Ichidou never imagined that his idol would become someone he had created himself.

If it weren't for his 'inspiration', Goro wouldn't have fallen for Yae no Miko's trick so quickly.

Goro was unaware of Ichito's doubts and had no time to answer them, because Shinkai had already finished their discussion and came out. Shinkai would tell Goro what the plan was.

So Goro no longer had time to play with Arataki Kazuto; he had to leave.

Seeing the Goro brothers leave, Araki Ichito looked at Kuki Shinobu, who had come out earlier, and asked, "Shinobu, what do you think the Goro brothers meant by 'trying'?"

Hisagi Shinobu said, "It probably means being friends with your subordinates."

However, Shinobu Hisaki felt that it would be difficult for Goro to do it. This was not a matter of personality, as Goro had a good personality, but rather a matter of numbers.

The Ara-taki faction has very few members; it's more of a group of friends and family than a faction. They're all just friends.

Moreover, he wouldn't have chosen to join the Araki Faction if he hadn't been "birds of a feather" with Ichito, so everyone in the Araki Faction is united.

However, the composition of the resistance was much more complex, with different numbers, ideologies, and purposes, making it almost impossible to befriend everyone.

This made Shinobu Hisaki curious about how Goro planned to try to make friends with everyone.

If you can make friends with everyone, you could probably get a certificate for that ability, right?

How about calling it the "Good at Making Friends Certificate"? I'll take the test for it sometime.

Hisaki Shinobu never expected that she would end up with a 'broadcaster' certificate' and become a VUP.

"Be friends? Like me and Paimon?" Yingmei came out and chimed in after hearing the conversation between Araki Ichito and Hisaki Shinobu.

“That’s right, that’s right, Ying and I are good friends.” Paimon clapped his hands and nodded with a grin.

"..." Hisaki Shinobu looked at Paimon in silence without making a comment.

However, Lin Qiu, who followed Yingmei out, couldn't help but complain:

"You idiot Paimon, Ying means you're her subordinate."

"What! Is that what it means!?" Paimon suddenly realized.

She immediately crossed her arms and turned her head away angrily, "Hmph, I'm angry, I don't want to be your friend anymore."

"In that case, does that mean I can stop providing meals?" Ying laughed.

Paimon was startled, his eyes darting around. When it came to food, his wisdom came out to the fullest.

"Uh, I meant Lin Qiu. I don't want to be friends with Lin Qiu anymore."

"Is that so? Then can I stop showing mercy?" Lin Qiu said with a smile, moving his fingers in the air.

Paimon wilted and hurriedly waved his hand, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore."

Leaving them aside, most people had already finished reading the third act of the Inazuma story by this time.

Many people had one thought after reading it: ...It seems like it's still not finished?

The order to hunt Inazuma has been lifted, but there is no intention to lift the even more harmful order of national isolation. General Raiden only said that he would think about it, but what will be the result of his thinking?

Qiu Cheng! Why did you publish your book before it was finished? Isn't that just teasing people?

Although Lin Qiu had indeed considered leaving a chapter unfinished for Ying Bao, he gave up the idea after learning from Shen Zi that Ying Bao was no longer reading books.

Lin Qiu didn't do this 'incomplete chapter' on purpose. That's all the content in the third act, and Inazuma doesn't have a fourth act yet.

As for Inazuma's true fate, we'll have to wait until Tales of Thor: Mission 2 to find out.

I wonder if, in reality, if Thor were thoroughly convinced to abandon the lockdown order ahead of time, would that be considered a spoiler in another sense?

I originally intended to write a book that would spoil the future, but now reality has spoiled the future in my book? Doesn't this mean that my destiny, which was destined for the end, has become a memory?

Isn't this also a kind of ( )?

No, it seems the story of Shadow Treasure will have to be moved up!

However, it's still difficult to get Thor to abandon the lockdown order directly. Without going through some trials, it's hard to make her understand just by talking.

Regardless of whether this will completely enlighten Thor, we at least need to pull her out of her 'hikikomori's house' first.

"Brother Yidou is very capable and gave me good advice. If possible, I would really like him to join my side."

Chapter 229 The Inazuma Culture Promoter

The next day, Lin Qiu and his group were acting according to plan. The rebels, dressed as civilians, surrounded the Thousand-Armed Hundred-Eyed Statue, while the shogunate army was under the command of Kujo Sara.

Ying is hiding far away, so it's not her turn to appear yet. She'll have to wait until Thor arrives before she can make her 'superhero' entrance.

Then all that's left is for the shadow to pull the traveler into the Pure Land of One Heart. The wishes of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue and the wishes of the onlookers will help the traveler.

As for the true protagonist of this operation—Thoma—he was already kneeling, his body bound in 'tortoise shell binding'.

In this 'trap' aimed at Thor, Thomas plays the role of the 'tricolor dumpling' placed in the trap. Everything is ready, just waiting for Shadow to arrive so he can pull the 'rope'.

Then, the 'rope' was used to tighten around Yingbao's ankles and hang her upside down, which meant she was successfully captured.

In theory, it's similar to catching wild boars in the mountains: lure the "boar" out with bait, and pull the rope when the "boar" is eating.

However, Shadow, who is the 'pig', has not yet arrived, but Thomas, who is the 'bait', has something to say.

“Friend, this is wrong no matter what,” Thomas said with a wry smile.

I'm willing to sacrifice myself as bait, but isn't this method of binding a bit too much?

I won't ask where you learned this kind of binding method, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to use it on me?

With this method of binding, even adjusting the trajectory of the bullet is impossible.

“Something’s not right?” Lin Qiu carefully examined the 'tortoise shell binding' on Thomas’s body and said, “I tied him up perfectly.”

"Although this is my first time trying it, the results are surprisingly good, and there's nothing wrong with it." Lin Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

He had only seen it before; this was his first time trying it. After studying it for a long time, he finally managed to tie it up. It's true that it looks easy but is difficult to do.

Luckily, I'm good with my hands!

"It's not about whether the binding is correct or not! It's about why you used this method of binding!" Thomas complained passionately.

Honestly, if you tried it in private, I think you might have tolerated it given your status, but here in public, with so many eyes watching!

"Isn't this just Inazuma culture? When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Lin Qiu said with a grin.

"This is some kind of inazuma culture!" Thomas exclaimed, speechless.

As a prophet, you know so much, even the secrets of the Fools, so why do you have such a deep misunderstanding of Inazuma culture?

“Besides, I’m from Mondstadt. Why don’t you stick with Mondstadt culture?” Thomas probed.

Since Lin Qiu had a misunderstanding about the rice-wife culture, Thomas was too lazy to correct him.

Why not just let him use the Mondstadt culture? That should be more normal, right? Mondstadt doesn't have any strange cultures.

"Mondstadt?" Lin Qiu thought for a moment. What should he do? He hadn't watched many European and American films.

Aside from spanking, I don't know much about Western customs, but spanking a man's butt seems a bit much, doesn't it? Maybe I should just forget about it.

"Although it was your request... this request is putting me in a bit of a dilemma..." Lin Qiu looked at Thomas with an expression that said, 'I didn't expect you to be this kind of person.'

"Have you misunderstood something again?" Thomas asked, his face ashen.

What kind of expression is that? I didn't even look at you with that expression!

Why is it that everyone is speaking Teyvat, but I find it so difficult to communicate?

Lin Qiu, are you really a Teyvat? Are you pretending to be human?

Seeing Thomas's expression, Lin Qiu nodded in satisfaction. "OK, brothers, the lead actor is in character. It wasn't for nothing that I put in so much effort to act with him."

That's right, Lin Qiu did this to get Thomas into character, not because of any perverse sense of humor.

Ignoring Thomas, Lin Qiu turned and left, as if he had made up his mind.

Thomas watched Lin Qiu disappear into the crowd with longing eyes. He knew he couldn't afford it, so he turned and walked into the crowd.

Thomas resigned himself to his fate; Lin Qiu truly had no intention of changing his method of binding.

"Sigh." Thomas sighed. Perhaps this was Thomas's fate?

Just as Thomas was feeling sentimental, Kujo Sara returned. Her gaze swept over Thomas, then paused, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, he chose to say nothing and silently walked towards Lin Qiu.

Thomas was even more speechless. "Why don't you just complain? I'd actually feel better if you did!"

If you don't even offer any criticism, how am I supposed to refute or explain? If I try to explain directly, it would seem like I'm trying to cover something up!

Help! How did I end up with such a bunch of terrible friends? Do they even treat me like a human being?!

Kujo Sara walked to Lin Qiu's side and said, "I've already informed the General. He'll be here soon. Are you ready?"

"Of course, didn't you see the Thomas I prepared so carefully?" Lin Qiu gave an 'OK' sign.

"......" I saw it, that's why I asked if you were ready.

I thought you were joking, but it turns out you were serious? You really intend to meet the General like this? Disrespectful to the General!!!

If the general goes astray... goes astray... cough...

However, the general is arriving soon, and it seems there isn't much time left to prepare again, so we'll just have to leave it at that for now.

"Well, it's good that you're ready. I'll go and invite the general over." Kujo Sara sighed, a rare occurrence for her.
