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

I was planning to make a big splash in Liyue by stealing the Heart of God from the Geo Archon!

If the people of Liyue found out about this, even if Tartaglia had the strength of a commander, let alone the fact that he was only the lowest-ranking executive officer, he would have a hard time escaping.

Zhongli nodded as well. He also wanted to look further into the future so that he could see if Liyue would be safe and secure in the future.

Just then, the door to the private room opened.

A black hat peeked out, the red plum blossoms hanging on it particularly eye-catching.

Next came a head of reddish-brown twin ponytails and a pretty face with a smile.

The newcomer's beauty, especially the shape of his pupils, was even more striking than the red plum blossoms on his hat.

This person is none other than Walnut, the number one Fire A in Teyvat.

"Oh dear, you've found the right place!" Hu Tao said with a grin, pushing open the door and asking, "Did I disturb you?"

The reason she only opened the door a crack and peeked out was because she was afraid the people inside were talking about something private.

Seeing that the two weren't talking about anything, she finally opened the door completely.

"Greetings, Master." Zhongli was the first to greet his superior.

"This must be the head of the Hall of Rebirth, right? Please have a seat."

The young master did not mind Hu Tao's sudden visit.

Since we've already finished discussing the topic, it's good to make a friend with some status.

Moreover, he could sense that although the little girl in front of him looked petite and cute.

However, his footwork and some of his movements also showed that he was quite skilled.

His favorite thing was to make friends with strong people and then fight them.

"Hmm, hello there, you're the young master of the Northern Bank."

"Oh dear, what an advantageous name! My name is Hu Tao, the 'Hu' in 'to act recklessly'."

Hu Tao also greeted them, then nimbly walked to Zhong Li's side.

"Guest, you've really been a long way to me."

"Please, Master."

Zhongli, being quite sensible, stood up and pulled out the chair next to Hu Tao.

Hu Tao nodded her little head in satisfaction, lifted her clothes, and sat down.

"By the way, young master, would you like to purchase services from our Rebirth Hall? I can give you a discount as a token of my respect for our guest elder."

With so much money, the Northern Bank might just buy a hundred or two hundred shares in one go.

To be fair, her funeral parlor practically monopolized the funeral industry in Liyue, so she must be incredibly wealthy.

Although the Hall of Rebirth has declined somewhat, it is still one of the top forces in Liyue.

Unfortunately, her guest advisor was too extravagant, forcing her, the head of the hall, to personally promote his services.

Thinking of this, Hu Tao missed Lin Qiu a little.

When Lin Qiu was around, not only did he spend less money, but he would also play with her and even use stories to keep Zhong Li occupied, so that he didn't have time to go out and spend money.

I don't know if it's because I was restricted by Lin Qiu a lot in the past.

After Lin Qiu left, Zhong Li went on a spending spree, delivering bills to Wangshengtang every day.

Lin Qiu, your family is in danger, return home immediately!

If you knew what Hu Tao was thinking, you would surely feel the same way.

Because some of Zhongli's bills were also sent to the Northern Bank. Although the amount is not large at the moment, there are still a lot of them.

Fortunately, it wasn't his Datalia money that was spent. The bill was cleared once it was settled. What's wrong with spending a little money for a mission?

"She's quite a free spirit, but she seems pretty capable. I wonder if buying her services would allow me to have a go with her?"

Chapter 28, Act Two: For a Tomorrow Without Tears

"How about a 10% discount? It's a great deal, isn't it?" Hu Tao continued to promote the services of Wangshengtang.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Master, but unfortunately, we Fools probably won't need it," the young master politely declined.

"Huh? Why? Your job as a member of the Fatui should be easy to die from."

Hu Tao was puzzled and spoke auspicious words.

For Hu Tao, death is simply a necessary stage in life, and there's no need to shy away from it.

In her view, both the Fools and the Adventurers could be considered high-quality customers, and she might need their services at any time.

"Our work as a group of fools is indeed dangerous; everyone is prepared to die."

The young master was not angry.

For the executor who wanted to seize the Heart of the Rock God, death was something to be expected.

"However, we do not go to our deaths when we carry out missions, but rather we are driven by the belief that we must survive."

"Furthermore, the Ice Queen will bury us after we die, so we don't need the services of the Hall of Rebirth."

"I see." Hu Tao nodded.

She respects everyone who respects life and death.

I didn't have a good impression of this Winter Solstice Executive Officer, but I didn't want to restrict Zhongli's friendships.

Now I have a different opinion of this young master. Perhaps that's why Zhongli became friends with him?

"Master, may I ask what brings you here?" Zhongli spoke only after the two had finished their conversation.

"Oh oh, I almost forgot."

Hu Tao pulled a book out of his God's Eye; the cover still read 'Teyvat Chronicles'.

"Clang clang!" Hu Tao even added sound effects to the action of taking out the book.

The young master was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this the novel they had just been discussing?

I've already seen this before, why bring it up again now?

Zhongli seemed to realize something and stared intently at the book in Hu Tao's hand.

Hu Tao smiled mysteriously, tilting her little head slightly with a hint of pride.

"Hmph, this is the second act of the novel! It was specially given to me by Xiao Qiuqiu."

It turned out that she had recently received a letter from Lin Qiu, which included a copy of Act II that had not yet been released.

Before Zhongli's letter arrived, Hu Tao hurriedly searched the world for Zhongli, just to show off in advance.

"Oh?" The young master also became interested, wondering if the second scene would be about Li Yue?

He didn't seem to care about being called "Hu Tao" (walnut).

After all, Zhongli knows the author, so it's not surprising that Hu Tao, Zhongli's superior, knows him too.

Furthermore, since the author's pen name contains the character "秋" (autumn), it's impossible to determine whether it refers to the author's real name or a pen name.

Speaking of which, the person who used to freeload off Mr. Zhongli seems to have "Qiu" in their name? What was their last name again?

D'Artagnan didn't think too much about it, since even the second young master of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild had "Autumn" in his name, so D'Artagnan just took it as a coincidence.

"May I also take a look, Master Hu?" the young master asked.

"Hehe, of course it's more fun to read together." Hu Tao naturally didn't refuse.

She's naturally outgoing and loves being around people; the more people there are, the happier she is.

Besides, she came here to show off anyway, so wouldn't it be better to have another person to show off?

The three of them sat a little closer together, with Hu Tao in the middle flanked by men. She didn't think much of it and started flipping through a book.

Prologue: Act Two: For a Tomorrow Without Tears

"So, this is our stance," Anastasia said to Qin.

"If we cannot immediately annihilate the rebellious dragon, we should entrust the defense of Mondstadt to the 'Fools'."

"The dragon scourge of Mondstadt can be resolved, as long as we take care of that beast."

It turns out that in the original timeline, the Knights of Favonius failed to immediately defend themselves when the Stormterror attacked the city.

Therefore, the Fools are now putting pressure on them.

Kurumi turned her gaze to the only Fatui member present, who was also the 'son' of the Executor, Tartaglia.

"Ah...cough...well, how should I put it, we're doing this for the good of the citizens of Mondstadt, aren't we?"

The young master explained with a smile.

"After all, the Knights of Mondstadt failed to protect Mondstadt when the future was unknown."

Hu Tao neither confirmed nor denied this, saying that it was a matter of national defense, how could it be entrusted to you fools?

This is like dismissing the Thousand Rock Army of Liyue and handing over the defense of Liyue to the Fatui. It's ridiculous.

Although Wangshengtang is a private enterprise, it actually has an official background.

If the Fools really treated Kurumi of Liyue like that, I'd even like to use a homa to help them pass on to the afterlife.

Zhongli also shook his head; the Fatui diplomats in Mondstadt were really used to being aggressive.

The main force of the Knights of Mondstadt has been dispatched to the Sea of ​​Ashes, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower within Mondstadt.

Furthermore, the wind god had been missing for hundreds of years, which led to the Fatui's arrogant attitude towards Mondstadt.

The Fatui in Liyue are much more well-behaved; at most, they might do some minor tricks, but all of them are within Zhongli's sight.

In Liyue, let alone a diplomat from the Fatui, even Tartaglia, as an executive officer, would dare to tell Ningguang to hand over Liyue's defenses to the Fatui.

The Rock King is not dead yet! If you anger him, even the Ice Queen can't save you.

However, even if Mondstadt is short-handed and even if the Wind God is absent, it will still not compromise with the Fatui.

"A wild beast?"

"Hoo~" Qin sighed, seemingly suppressing her anger.

"We hope your diplomats can adopt a more professional attitude. Do you intend to 'deal with' one of Mondstadt's Four Winds Guardians?"

"I don't want anyone saying such crazy things in front of the Knights of Favonius."

The diplomats of the Fools paid no heed to Qin's warning.

"Hehehe, it's not as crazy as you say, is it?"

The Fatui had no reverence for Mondstadt, which lacked the Wind God, the Grand Master, and many elites.

"Very well, let's end this consultation here."

"The outcome this time is that 'both sides exchanged constructive opinions frankly,' right?"

After saying this, the Fool's diplomat left.

Zhongli nodded. He was very satisfied with the musician; he was a person of great skill and charisma.

This reminded Zhongli of Keqing, who was also a person of great courage and even dared to deny her own decisions.

Zhongli likes people like this because they are better able to prove the potential of humanity.

Hu Tao, however, wasn't interested in this kind of social banter and complained:

"What do you mean by constructive suggestions? It's just arguing."

"It's better to argue; at worst, we can fight."

The young master shrugged, seemingly uninterested in such social conversation.

If Hu Tao, as the owner of a private enterprise, is not interested in these things, then he doesn't have to do them.
