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

Is the problem with us, or is there something wrong with the two of you?

This pairing of you two is so perfect it could be a novel! No, wait, we're reading a novel right now.

The last time people felt this way was with Yae no Miko and Lei's movie, but these two actually have novels! And more than one!

Their novels were so popular that they were bestsellers in Nata.

But thinking about it this way, besides Inazuma, Mondstadt also has Mona, Fischl; Jean, and Lisa.

Walnut and Xiangling from Liyue; Keqing and Ganyu; Guizhong and Gechen are also good choices.

Now even Mount Sumeru is included. Does that mean every country will have one in the future?

Whether or not both are true, we don't know, but at least in this story, Dina Zede is very kind to travelers.

She knew the travelers might be tired from their recent return, so she had already arranged accommodations for them.

She's so gentle; maybe Dina Zede is just gentle to everyone.

Dina Zede smiled gently: "Tell me more of your adventure stories when you have the chance in the future."

Storytelling can be left to Paimon; she's a master at embellishing stories and her storytelling is superb.

In the story, after the traveler made an appointment with Dina Zede to visit the festival together the next day, he went inside and took a nap.

I woke up to a new day.

The traveler, Paimon, went to the place he had arranged to meet Dina Zede early in the morning, where Dina Zede was already waiting.

[Dina Zede greeted, "Travelers, Paimon! We've been waiting for you."]

Dina Zede laughed, "Phew—this day has finally arrived! Every minute and every second is precious."

Dina Zede mentioned gold, at which point Ying should have said, "My good Eden."

Ahem, let's not get into the voice actor jokes. The traveler and Dina Zede stroll around and play together at the festival.

Most of the vendors at the festival come spontaneously. They all believe in the little grass god, so they care more about the atmosphere of the festival than money.

Therefore, although there weren't many people at the festival, the atmosphere was great, giving it a unique, off-the-beaten-path feel.

Character Voice Lines - Nil: About the 'Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival'

"The Kyoto Instructions deliberately chose this day to coincide with the Grass God's birthday!"

"I hope my final performance will satisfy the Grass God and make up for this regret."

Chapter 524 "The Moon," "Illusion," and "Lies"

Nilu and Dina Zede were very happy, after all, this was like watching a fan club gathering.

There were many shops at the celebration, and Paimon immediately noticed the food among them.

However, she was somewhat disappointed because the "Seven Delicacies Table" at the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival was all vegetarian.

Goodbye, Sumeru, the land that never let me eat meat.

Speaking of which, Paimon likes to eat slime. Is slime vegetarian or meat-based?

From the perspective of elemental organisms, it might be an energy drink like Red Bull?

I don't know, but in the story, Paimon suddenly had a whimsical idea: since the festival of the grass god is all vegetarian, then is the festival of the fire god all barbecue?

The thought of Natas being so fiery meant that roasted meat and meatballs were essential, so Paimon immediately decided:

"Traveler, let's move our trip to Nata forward!"

Logically speaking, Paimon's idea is obviously unreasonable, since it's not that every elemental nation eats a particular thing.

The Geo Archon isn't just gnawing on rocks, and the Anemo Archon isn't starving either.

Thor did manage to roast something with lightning, but he overdid it; the lady didn't even leave ashes.

But guess what? Paimon guessed right, and she actually guessed correctly! Nata's 'festival' really did offer unlimited and free barbecue.

It can only be said that if you make enough predictions, one or two of them will eventually come true.

But if this is categorized as a 'prophecy,' Mona would probably faint from anger.

Speaking of Mona, the next stall in the area happens to be a fortune-telling shop, specializing in alchemical divination.

Alchemy? Divination? What a wonderful combination! Mona was quite intrigued.

What? This was invented by the little grass goddess Nasita? Hmm... how much does Nasita cost?

Rich woman Mona could slam the money on the table and slam it back and forth right away!

Unfortunately, Narcida was not for sale, but the information related to her invention of alchemy and divination was available for sale and was not even a secret; there were even specialized books about it.

The general method is to use two random items from the other person to perform alchemy, and then use the alchemy results to predict the future of things.

[Dina Zede explains: "Well... in the Little Lucky Grass King's view, everything is interconnected, and everything can be traced back to 'fate.'"]

The readers don't understand it, but they always think it's very impressive.

Mona, on the other hand, seemed to understand something, because she remembered a kind of 'monster' that Lin Qiu had told her about.

Laplace's demon, an unknown creature, knows everything about the universe, so everything in the universe is just a simple formula to it.

It can even achieve a reverse perspective, where the past is the effect and the future is the cause, and the future appears before its eyes as if it were the past.

This alchemical divination is somewhat similar in that it calculates the future by collecting 'information'.

Mona, after hearing Lin Qiu tell this story, seriously doubted that Lin Qiu was lying to her.

But then I felt that Lin Qiu always fooled me, so what if he deliberately didn't fool me this time?

If I ignore this information thinking he's trying to fool me, wouldn't I be the one being fooled?

Based on this dialectical way of thinking, Mona chose to believe, and then she became highly suspicious that Lin Qiu might be a monster in disguise, and wished she could strip Lin Qiu naked to check him out.

Lin Qiu refused, so she had to settle for second best and pinched Lin Qiu's face to examine him through his clothes for a long time. The result was that he was human.

Teacher Abedo has already checked the results, and he has thoroughly investigated Lin Qiu's findings.

Abedo had no particular feelings about this outcome, but Mona was disappointed; if Lin Qiu really were a monster, it wouldn't have been so disheartening for her.

After a long time, Mona searched for a lot of information about 'Laplace's Demon' but found nothing. Mona felt that she might have been fooled by Lin Qiu again.

Mona now treats this as just a story, because it's too fantastical and outrageous.

Who can know everything? It's impossible.

But Nasita's idea inspired her: you don't need to know everything. Everything is interconnected, so wouldn't it be enough to just collect the necessary 'information'?

"Truly worthy of being called the Goddess of Wisdom." Mona's thirst for knowledge ignited.

After she finishes reading this story, she will go to find Lin Qiu and ask him to introduce her to Naxida.

Mona has no idea what awaits her after she goes to Sumeru, while Lin Qiu is worried about not finding a successor.

Mona also discovered something else: Lin Qiu didn't seem to be tricking her. He was actually 'teaching' her, she just hadn't realized it.

See, this 'Laplace's demon' is actually a metaphor; it's my fault for not understanding it.

Lin Qiu, I misunderstood you. You're so good to me. I'll go to Xumi right now and cook for you!

This is something Lin Qiu didn't know; otherwise, he would have said: "That's right, it's my fault. Laplace's demon doesn't exist at all. I was just fooling you..."

In short, without Lin Qiu's knowledge, his prophecy book worked its magic, fooling Mona once again. Mona, in an excellent mood, now hums softly as she reads the book.

I also happened to see the part in the book where the traveler was 'tricked'.

The traveler wasn't sure if the other party was trying to scam him, but decided to give it a try, thinking it wouldn't hurt.

[Zimia: "Okay, just a moment... um... it's 'the moon.'"]

The pattern created by alchemy is a crescent moon, which Zimia calls "the moon," but Paimon would see it as a biscuit with a bite taken out of it.

Mona ignored Paimon, the foodie character in the book, and focused on reading. The moon? What does that mean?

What's the explanation? Zimia didn't actually know either, so it was up to the conman Lin Qiu to explain.

Ahem: As the saying goes, 'Half like the sun, half like the moon, once bitten in half by a golden dragon.'

What does it mean? It means that Yingmei has the countenance of an emperor! She is destined for great things!

Even if you start as a traveler with nothing, you can eventually climb Mount Tai!

All I can say is that Mona should learn from him. Lin Qiu's 'divination' is mostly deception, it's all about knowledge.

But if we ignore Lin Qiu's deception, what would the 'professional' Zimia say?

[Zimia: "Hmm... 'Moon' generally means... means... wait a minute..."]

Zimia couldn't remember, so she quickly looked it up in a book. She was basically doing a quick Google search while interpreting tarot cards for people.

"Oh, I remember now, it means 'illusion' and 'lies.'"

"Illusion" and "lies"? As expected of alchemical divination, truly amazing!

Mysterious and unfathomable! I can't understand it at all, yet I still think it's amazing!

Readers don't understand what "illusion" and "lie" mean here, but they are still happy to praise things like "prophecy".

There's nothing we can do; we're reading prophetic books, and prophecies have already proven their value. The people of Fontainebleau are now panicking like mummies, wishing they could scoop up seawater with a dung ladle every day.

Character Voice Lines - Frynn: Regarding the Prophecy of Fontaine

"The people were very panicked, but thankfully everyone was willing to trust me, and the pressure in the country subsided after I announced that everything was alright."

"Yes, everything will be alright."

Chapter 525 Candy, Sandbags, and Greatsword

In fact, the people of Fontainebleau also do not yet understand the meaning of the Fontainebleau prophecy, just like the readers at this moment.

But that's okay. Prophecies are things we can't understand now, things that seem mysterious and enigmatic. But once we've finished reading the story and look back, we'll see that:

Wow, it really is "illusion" and "lie".

So to avoid being proven wrong, don't criticize his skills, just praise him!

This is all thanks to the experience shared by a well-known Teyvat scholar, a tribute to the legendary "King of Knowledge"—who knows more about the Rock King than I do, or simply the King of Knowledge.

At this point, Mona wasn't interested in these mystical claims; she herself often said such things, so it was understandable.

In fact, prophets sometimes don't intentionally create riddles; it's just that they themselves can't see things very clearly! They can only extract keywords.

But that's enough; those who are willing to believe will convince themselves to try and find common ground.

The prophet's riddles are unavoidable; not everyone can write down the future in such detail as Lin Qiu.

That's why Mona kept pestering Lin Qiu, and despite being fooled so many times, she refused to leave him.

Zimia continued, "Well, the book says that as long as you trust your intuition and overcome your fears, the sun will surely rise."

The sun will rise only after you overcome your fears. This applies to Nasita as well, because she is also the "moon".

Mona just wants to say: How much does this book cost? It's surprisingly useful.

We'll have to ask Mona how much the book costs after she goes to Sumeru. The three characters in the story start choosing candy later on.

At this stall, three children were reaching out for candy, their movements so synchronized they could pilot mechs.

For children, Dina Zede is more attractive than candy. When Dina Zede arrives, they forget about candy and all gather around her.

[Bhikal: "Hahaha... Miss Dinazede, you're more attractive to children than Yalda candy!"]

Dina Zede was a little embarrassed, so she chose to change the subject by doing cosplay:

"Ahem... Ah, Holy Flower Knight, it's an honor that you know my name!"

After Dina Zede said that, it was Pigal's turn to feel embarrassed, and he also played the role of the 'Flower Knight' to cover up his shyness.

"Ah...ah, cough cough, yo ho, of course, in the name of the Flower Knight Faris, I commend you for your contribution to the great birthday of the Flower Goddess."
