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

Readers and travelers alike are speculating whether there is a treasure map on the back of the card or whether it is actually a valuable work by a master.

It can't just be a regular card back, right? What were the Treasure Thieves spending so much money for? Were they just being ripped off? The Treasure Thieves are stupid.

Everyone else thought it was abnormal, but only Sino thought it was normal. Isn't it normal to buy a card back at a high price?

Seno pulled out his limited edition card back with a somewhat expressionless, smug look.

How can someone with a blank expression look smug? The key is that his body swayed back and forth, clearly showing his smugness.

This is a limited edition piece by Teacher Bai'e; no one else can buy it, it's extremely valuable!

What? You're saying the treasure-hunting gang doesn't just rob valuable items they can't buy? Who would they rob? Sino?

The treasure-hunting gang just wanted to make some money, not to seek thrills and risk their lives.

No... in this story, they might actually be looking for thrills.

Anyway, after analyzing the story, the Traveler and Charlotte also felt that there were not enough clues. Since the next clue pointed to Liyue, it seems that they should go to Liyue to take a look.

So they're going to Liyue already? The readers are all confused. What about the competition? Aren't they going to show us anything?

I'm a little disappointed, but how should I put it, this feeling isn't bad... It's been so long since I've seen a traveler traveling around with someone like this... I almost forgot she was a 'traveler'.

The book mentions a stamp-collecting activity at the event, where travelers traveled to four different countries to collect all the stamps – truly a journey!

Incidentally, the Easter egg also included the 'nicknames' used by other players during the competition, such as Amber's nickname "Happy Little Torch," which is quite fitting for the character of Burning Thorns.

Then there's the Liyue card player 'Rainbow Rain'. You can tell from the name that it's Xingqiu. He seems to have a preference for two-character names with a touch of martial arts.

There's also Inazuma's card player, 'Snow Blade,' a name even more reminiscent of martial arts than Xingqiu's. So who is she? The ice-type one-handed swordsman is naturally our Miss Ayaka.

Finally, there's the player from Sumeru, 'Resurrected Serval', which is the hardest to guess because many people don't know that Cole is a Serval.

Furthermore, the fact that the player participating in the Sumi tournament is not Seno is already quite counterintuitive.

That said, in both of these stories, the travelers were actually 'traveling', which is quite rare.

The readers really like it. It's great! They almost forgot she was a traveler. They thought she was some kind of savior, saving people wherever she went.

Besides the rare trip, what's even more intriguing is this 'card thief,' who's puzzling everyone. What exactly is his purpose in doing this?

This behavior of spending a lot of money to collect card backs reminds everyone of Seno, who actually made a special trip to Mondstadt to collect card backs.

Could this 'card thief' really be Seno? Readers expressed their doubts.

It can only be said that ordinary readers do not understand Sino enough. Although Sino is very enthusiastic about cards, he will not use any underhanded tricks. He is not Dolly.

Sino was unaware that he was the subject of suspicion, because in his view, collecting card backs for cards was a perfectly normal thing to do, and everyone would do it.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for him to go to Mondstadt to collect card backs, and there's nothing to doubt about it.

So he remained calm as he watched the story, even mistaking the look Tinari gave him as envy for his limited-edition card back.

Sino said, "Don't envy me. With your relationship with Teacher Bai'e, you might be able to get one too."

Tinari: "...No need for that."

Tina looked at Seno not because she suspected him of being a thief, but because the scene felt so familiar that she instinctively looked at him.

Let's not look at it now, let's just enjoy the story, otherwise Seno will show off his card back again.

Charlotte analyzed, "There's still something off. Would anyone really be willing to travel between countries and pay such a high price to collect a set of card backs from a general store?"

Initially, everyone thought it wasn't true, but after witnessing Seno's behavior in the previous "Wind and Flower Festival" story, people are no longer so certain.

That's how card dealers are; it's not surprising that they actually do such things.

But Charlotte wasn't a card player; she sensed something was wrong using normal logic—something was definitely amiss, and she had to continue investigating!

Before heading to Liyue, the Traveler plans to return to Mondstadt to say goodbye to Kaeya and check on his performance in the finals.

Unfortunately, Kaia lost, and the final champion was Timmy.

Those who were eliminated by Timmy must be even happier now, we're second in 'soft power'!

Well, the fact that professional card player 'Blue Hair' got beaten up by a kid is also recorded in Lin Qiu's world.

However, the key to this story is not Kaiya, his wins or losses are irrelevant, the key is the tournament poster drawn in the illustration.

There were two people, their faces obscured, but their clothing suggested they were Sumeru people, dressed in scholar's robes.

These two are the original initiators and founders of the Seven Saints Summoning card game.

The Seven Sages Summoning is very popular in Teyvat, but there's been little news about them, as if they don't care about their reputation.

For many Teyvats, it was through the prophetic books that they first learned that there were two creators of the Seven Saints' Summoning.

But what makes this poster so eye-catching is not the identity of its founders, but the silhouette of the figure.

The silhouette on the left is not wearing a hat and has brown hair. The figure in the drawing is at the top of the picture and appears slightly taller.

The silhouette on the right, wearing a light green hat, looks up at the other person from below the painting, appearing slightly shorter.

One was tall with brown hair, and the other was short with a green hat. At first glance, everyone mistook them for Zhongli and Wendy, which is why they attracted everyone's attention.

However, the attention was only fleeting; a closer look revealed that it wasn't the two of them. Readers continued turning the pages, and the story moved on to Liyue.

Charlotte: "Is this what they mean by 'a thousand ships arriving in succession, ten thousand merchants flocking in'? Hmm, seeing is believing."

In terms of ports, Fontaine's port is not small, but in terms of throughput, Liyue is the largest port in Teyvat, after all, it is a commercial center.

But the phrase 'seeing is believing' is all too familiar; Xiaogong just mentioned it in the last story!

Chapter 732 Is the Card Thief in Liyue?

The phrase "seeing is believing" truly makes readers feel as if they've returned to the story of the Night Palace.

When Sou-gyo saw the port of Sumeru, she also said that seeing is believing. Both stories are about travel, but how come the people traveling with the travelers say such similar things?

Oh no, is this a lesbian or a best friend?

It should be different. This time it's in Liyue, and Baiwen actually heard those words.

[Bai Wen spoke politely: "You've had a long journey, welcome to Liyue Harbor. Lady Ningguang instructed me to wait for you here."]

It can only be said that Ningguang is indeed Ningguang; she already knew that the Traveler was coming to Liyue.

Furthermore, Ningguang was very interested in Charlotte because, unlike other reporters, Charlotte cared a lot about the truth of the matter, which made Ningguang curious about what kind of person Charlotte was.

Charlotte's reason for being sent all the way to cover this competition is that she was too eager to pursue the truth, which touched the interests of many people. It was a derogatory term.

She was indeed a brilliant reporter, but not a top figure at Steambird Newspaper. Naturally, she would be targeted if she touched on other people's interests.

Fortunately, Charlotte in real life doesn't have to worry about these issues because she is Lin Qiu's personal reporter.

Lin Qiu refused interviews from anyone other than Charlotte, which led to Charlotte's status and position rising in the Steambird Newspaper and even throughout Teyvat.

Charlotte is now a VIP wherever she goes, especially among journalists and businessmen.

However, the story is set in a timeline without Lin Qiu, so it would be nice if Charlotte could establish some connection with Ningguang after being demoted.

Since the Jade Pavilion is so high, and Charlotte went up by 'ferry', did she come down by landing?

In short, the next step was to split into two groups. The travelers were all regulars at the Jade Pavilion and were used to going there, so they had no intention of going with her. She planned to go and gather some information first.

The first person I asked was a Liyue Thousand Rock Army member who seemed to have a very uncomfortable nose and kept sneezing.

The reason... is that a girl named Inazuma ran past him just now.

I understand, he's allergic to flowers! So it's pollen allergy!

No, it was Qi Liangliang who ran over just now. He is actually allergic to cat fur.

Wendy really empathized with this; a nose really does feel uncomfortable!

Wendy empathized, but Qi Liangliang was unhappy: Don't tell the whole world about my shedding problem!

It's such a hassle to clean up when they're shedding! There's nothing I can do if they miss any!

No one knew the cat's predicament, and the traveler in the story didn't care about the cat's allergy. He went straight to a second person and asked if they had seen the person who collected the card backs.

Unfortunately, neither the second nor the third person could provide any information.

The third one not only lacked information, but he even tried to promote the fish he sold, boldly claiming that he had all kinds of fish except for the 'Fishmen'.

Qi Liangliang drooled, swallowed hard, and shook her head. Qi Liangliang, how could you be so depraved?

It's just a bunch of fish in the illustrations of a storybook, how can you get so obsessed with it?

In fact, Diona and Lynette were also attracted, but thankfully they didn't react as strongly as Kira.

Kira Ryo finally managed to turn the page with immense willpower. Next up is Kaedehara Manyo!

[Wan Ye's tone was gentle: "You seem to be asking about something. I wonder if I can help?"]

Long time no see! For readers, it really has been a long time since Man-young last saw him.

The last time I saw him was in the story about him last time. He's still so gentle and reliable. It's so good. Seeing you makes us feel much more at ease.

Well, actually I'm not entirely at ease, at least not in terms of the Card Thief.

He said he didn't sense anything wrong from the wind nearby, so the phantom thief was at least not near the port.

Near the port, there was only a strange catgirl looking around, seemingly lost. That's right, it was Kira.

International business has only recently started, so it's normal for Kira to get lost in Liyue. Your courier is currently lost.

I wonder if she was attracted to the harbor by the smell of fish, since she was lost and subconsciously ran there.

Kira was looking for the Hall of Rebirth, which is in the exact opposite direction from the port.

Actually, this is because Qi Liangliang doesn't understand the local customs and culture of Liyue enough. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to find the Hall of Rebirth?

Finding the shrine to the deceased is actually quite simple. Just lie down on the ground, close your eyes, and pretend to be dead. Maybe a kind person will carry you there.

Remember to make it look convincing; you have to look like you're already dead, otherwise you might be sent to the shrine of the dead.

However, she no longer needs to play dead when encountering travelers, as she knows the Temple of Rebirth very well.

[In front of the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao swayed her head and recited a poem: "The sun hangs high in the sky, the dice in my hand clatter..." Tsk, it's a pity the last line doesn't match...]

That's right, Walnut was enjoying her leisure time when she saw the travelers arrive and immediately greeted them warmly.

"Oh dear, Traveler and Paimon, what are you doing here?"

"And they brought so many friends...guests? Trading partners? New collaborators?"

Kurumi rattled off a whole bunch of identities, so it's safe to say that Kira-ra is not really suitable to be a guest. As a yokai, her lifespan is quite long, so sending Kurumi away shouldn't be a big problem.

But it's okay, Zhongli is still in the Hall of Rebirth, he can send Qi Liangliang away.

Even if Qi Liangliang can't be a client, she can still be a business partner. She can help send the ashes of the guests back by express delivery, and Wang Sheng Tang might really be able to start international business.

The traveler introduced Kirara and Manyo to Kurumi, and Kurumi, now acquainted with them, asked:

[“What brings you to the Hall of Rebirth today? Oh! Perhaps you heard about our recent activities and traveled all the way from overseas…”]

Well, readers have been wanting to complain about this event for a long time.

Does Wangshengtang ever not have any promotions?! Every time you appear, there's some special event or discount! It's always something new and exciting!

In fact, the Rebirth Hall doesn't hold events every day, but that's what happens when Hu Tao is the head of the hall.

It's all up to Hu Tao, the head of the hall, to say whatever she wants. If she says to hold an event, then let's hold it.

You met her, and she's in a good mood so she wants to give you some benefits so you can die a little easier. She's such a good girl, I'm so happy.

Many people care about your value while you're alive, but she doesn't care; she only cares about what happens after you die.

Chapter 733 Another powerful work by Walnut?

Hu Tao was very enthusiastic, but unfortunately, the people could not accept her kindness. They were not there as guests of the ancestral hall, and she sincerely apologized for this.

Next time, next time for sure, next time I'll definitely look for you if I die.

However, although we can't be guests, as I said, we might be able to become business partners.

[Hu Tao asked, "These days, express delivery is really convenient... We don't even need to bother you, sir, with errands anymore."]

The phrase "errand runner" or "guest clerk" sends chills down the spines of anyone from Liyue who sees it.
