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

Congratulations on receiving the buff 'Blessing of the Grass God'.

The last place was a restaurant, which Setare always came to.

Nasita (Catherine) went straight to the tavern waiter and said:

"I think I've seen you near the port before..."

Naxida: I feel like I've seen you somewhere before.

[Qishan: "Huh? Is that true?"]

It's clear that Nasita's attempt to strike up a conversation failed to pique the other person's interest.

Such a low-level flirting technique! But Narcida's superb 'stalking' skills make up for it.

"You seemed to be discussing ship design with someone at the time."

[Qishan: "Ah~! Yes, yes, technical issues related to ships have always been a personal interest of mine."]

When the topic of shipping came up, Qishan immediately became interested and felt a sense of familiarity, and began to share a lot of her own experiences.

She grew up in Liyue and came to Sumeru to study, but failed the entrance exam.

In fact, Qishan has an exceptional talent for shipbuilding, and even some scholars from the Academy are willing to discuss related issues with her.

Because of Qishan, those scholars even thought that the people of Liyue were very knowledgeable about ships and were born with a natural affinity for shipbuilding.

Scholars would also marvel at how Qi Shan was even more capable than them, and wondered why she was working as a waitress in a tavern.

Yes, why is that? You'd have to ask the Academy of Educational Sciences why such a talented person couldn't pass the exam.

Qishan had no choice but to work part-time while studying in the basement of the tavern, hoping to pass the exam next time.

Some might say, "Is the Instruction Academy hard to get into?" —IP: Jingshan Palace.

Yes, this is Mona. She's also exasperated. Is the Faculty of Orders really that hard to get into? I don't want to be in, so why am I being forced to work here?

Well, just thinking about the divination skills that Nasita and Lin Qiu promised made Mona even more motivated to work; wonderful knowledge was beckoning her!

But I'm off work now, so I'll finish reading the book and work overtime tomorrow.

Naxi Da said, "I see... I see. I wish Miss Qishan all the best in her studies."

Congratulations on receiving the buff 'Grass God's Uniform', I mean, a blessing.

It's just that Nabiya didn't know, otherwise she would probably be dumbfounded, wondering why she was the only one who didn't receive a blessing after going around in circles.

You blessed two out of three people, but excluded me. This is bullying!

After reading the stories of these three stores, Liyue readers were reminded of one person—Qiming.

It's not surprising that people from Liyue would associate her with Nabiya, a fortune teller, and a name similar to Qishan.

She also often does 'love fortune telling' for people. One of them, a man named Zhihua, would ask Qiming to tell his fortune every day. In fact, he wanted to get closer to Qiming through the fortune telling, but he was rejected.

As for Qiming herself... she seems quite interested in Linlang, the female owner of the antique shop...

Putting this little episode aside, the traveler and Narcida have already gathered enough information in the story, so the next step is to prepare to deal with the main character, Setare.

How to deal with it? Of course, we need to break her defenses! Let's assemble a super-damage team, Traveler!

Promise me you'll be part of the Super Smash Team forever, okay? Ikkyu!

Character Voice Lines - Lin Qiu: About Mona

"I don't know why, but her enthusiasm for work has suddenly become so high... It makes me feel guilty, this girl."

Chapter 565 The Beginning of a Master Deceiver

Narcida's plan was to possess someone Setare knew to manipulate Setare; that was her way of dealing with her.

What is PUA? It's about not explaining things clearly, but applying pressure and making accusations to make the other person feel guilty and start overthinking.

There's no need to worry about the possessed person getting involved, because they're just fooling Setare and won't involve the Church.

Possession and imitation are tasks that require a traveler to perform, which Nasita cannot do; she is not good at imitation.

However, Nasita is only bad at imitating humans, but she can still imitate fungus beasts 'na na~'.

This may be because, compared to humans, fungus don't have as many movements and expressions. Nasita was imprisoned for five hundred years without any contact or communication with humans, so she wouldn't be good at things like controlling her facial expressions.

To be honest, Paimon is quite good at imitating others; her movements and expressions are very similar. However, this kind of task cannot be entrusted to her because she is useless and incapable of being of any use.

Paimon's mental fortitude isn't up to par; she might let us down at crucial moments. In the end, the Traveler is the only reliable option.

Paimon only needs to be cute, while the traveler has a lot more to consider.

Nasita sighed, "Alas... if possible, I would really be reluctant to occupy the consciousness of those people, but now is not the time to worry about such things."

Naxi Da: Impregnable, with layers of armor.

They clearly stated that they did not want to occupy the public's attention, but were only doing so out of necessity at this time, and hope everyone is aware of this.

The next day, as everyone began to implement the plan, Nabia, who was talking to Setare, suddenly had her pupils dilate drastically.

Setare noticed the anomaly, but she couldn't possibly imagine it was something like a mental invasion, so she wasn't too concerned and continued with the previous topic:

"...Yes, you really can't force things when it comes to love, especially since the backgrounds of the people around me are so different from mine..."

The traveler heard these words. At this moment, she had already possessed Nabiya's body and heard Setare's words. It turned out that she had come to have her love fortune told before.

The traveler was about to speak when, before he could even exchange two words with Setare, he was snapped at by the two cats beside him.

It was obvious that these two cats were extraordinary; they had noticed Nabiya's (the traveler's) unusual behavior.

I knew Nabiya was extraordinary, but I didn't know she was this extraordinary—even her cats weren't ordinary cats.

So here's the question: the two kittens caught Setare's attention, and she curiously asked them their names.

What are the names of these two cats? Let's rule out Kira and Diona first.

I won't go into the answers from the beginning, but let's talk about Ying's evaluation of the cat in real life.

Ying: "Even more human-like than Paimon."

Paimon eats 300,000 yuan worth of food a month. How much does cat food cost?

But if the cat can detect something is wrong, would it be okay to send Paimon? It's hard to say.

Paimon: "What are you talking about! No matter how you look at it, I'm the better one!"

Paimon crossed his arms and tossed his head back: "I'm clearly the one who understands human nature better!"

Paimon's proud demeanor made those who overheard the conversation try to suppress their laughter.

Ying smiled but didn't say anything, while Mona sighed: "Idiot, what's so great about winning in this area? It's about understanding human nature."

Paimon fell into thought. "Huh? Eh?"

Just when everyone thought Paimon had figured it out, Paimon, who had been thinking for a long time, finally spoke.

After thinking for a while, Paimon said, "Mona, you're very smart, so why do you always get fooled by Lin Qiu?"

Oh no, she's really figured it out.

It turns out that she had been thinking about this instead of her own problems.

Mona gritted her teeth and remained silent. "I was trying to help you, and you retaliated by attacking me!"

I, Mona, was not fooled!

It's just that Lin Qiu's teachings are too profound; even I need time to understand them! You all understand even less!

Mona snorted softly, ignoring Paimon and burying herself in her book.

In the story, Setare mentioned the question she wanted to have answered through divination:

"Could you do a divination for me? When will I be able to finish this 'project'? I really want to finish it as soon as possible..."

As Setare spoke, a little Paimon peeked out from behind the wooden box behind her, looking incredibly cute.

Although the illustration focuses on Setare, readers strongly suspect that Lin Qiu is giving Paimon special treatment.

Paimon is just too cute! Oh well, let him be a freeloader if he wants.

As for the "project" that Setare mentioned, Setare didn't actually know what it was, but she knew some of the filth involved, which she found disgusting, but she was helpless about it.

So now she just hopes this "project" can be finished as soon as possible.

Then the traveler in the story started to act like Nabiya's charlatan, closing his eyes and pretending to listen to the 'oracle'.

[Navia (The Traveler): "The god said... 'Setare, why haven't you returned home yet?'"]

Starting with zero frames, without any setup.

The question clearly asked when the "project" would end, but I have no idea how that question relates to the actual question.

But that's okay. That's how charlatans operate. They don't need any setup. The more mysterious and incomprehensible you are, the more real you seem. The other person will fill in the blanks in their own mind.

"Setare, why haven't you gone home yet!" This time it's a question; the goddess seems quite angry.

This bold and confident statement makes one wonder if the Traveler has truly been possessed by the Red King.

Unexpectedly, the traveler is really good at this kind of thing. Not only is the imitation accurate, but the criticism is also very convincing, and the remarks are extremely bold.

[Setare: "May I ask... Nabiya, which god is speaking in your ear?"]

[Navia (The Traveler): "Hmph, what a childish and rude question. Of course, it's the greatest and wisest 'Red King'!"]

Although everyone knew it was the traveler speaking, it was still a bit hard to believe that a rainforest 'theologian' was calling himself 'the greatest and wisest 'Red King'.

It felt like Captain America saying "Hail Hydra" to the heavens.

For the Teyvats, it felt like the shrine maiden at Narukami Shrine had said, "The greatest and wisest Lord Orobas."

It's so strange that even the people of Haizhi Island would find it baffling.

However, unlike the inexplicable behavior of others, Dolly, as a Sumeru person, had a rather unusual focus.

"The greatest and most virtuous"? Using "the greatest" twice in a row, doesn't that violate advertising laws?

No, no, while the prophecy book is a golden advertising brand, this isn't an advertisement. It can be described as the "best".

In that case, wouldn't it be possible for Lin Qiu to write in his book that he is the best supplier without breaking the law?

This is absolutely the best ad space ever! Lin Qiu, hurry, hurry, hurry!

"I got rejected by Lin Qiu!!!"

Chapter 566 PUA is Self-Doubt

Setare in the story is, after all, a scholar, and not so easily fooled. She is still calmly analyzing how the Red King could have appeared after being dead for thousands of years.

[Setare: "Although the news of the Red King's resurrection has been circulating widely recently, those are all false rumors deliberately spread by the Council of the Church... How could the Red King possibly still exist?"]

They got the information, but it enraged the desert people beyond belief.

The Red King's resurrection was actually a false rumor spread by the Order of the Church!?

The desert people were actually secretly pleased to see the Church of Christ in such a state; they loved seeing the rainforest people suffer.

I never expected that the boomerang would hit me so quickly.

Damn the Order of the Church, I'll fucking destroy you!

The desert people's anger began to build, unaware that what followed would cause them even more distress.

The traveler bluntly stated, "How rude! I am Lord Red King's most loyal follower. Do you intend to deny the divine voice I hear?"

You have some nerve! Are you questioning the great Red King?!

In fact, the traveler's statement did not explain anything useful; it was simply answering a question with a question.

But it's okay, the 'hat' was put on the other person first.
