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

That gentle smile of hers makes everyone feel happy. How can she be so gentle?

What is there to be afraid of in such a gentle general?

They didn't know that this meant: Inatsume, your 'Samoyed' has returned!

Chapter 737 A match that cannot be won, the ending is destined to be defeat.

Inazuma's readers began to think carefully, feeling that the general they saw in reality was quite different from the general in the story.

The real-life general was clearly much smarter than the dull-witted character in the story. Why is that? It's just one face, after all.

That's it! Readers have figured it out. It must be the difference between 'General' and 'Shadow'. Qiu Cheng's illustrations must have been based on 'General'. That makes sense now.

They had no idea that it was Raiden Shin who usually went out, while Raiden Dyori stayed at home in the castle tower and rarely went out.

They were usually taken away by Lin Qiu when they went out, and he would teleport them directly to other countries, so they couldn't see them.

Ordinary people can only learn about this through prophecy books, but the prophecy books contain Balzeb without Bal.

Back to the story, the traveler and Paimon arrived at the competition venue to talk to Shinkai, but instead of finding Shinkai, they encountered Arataki Ichito.

He also came to participate in the competition, but unfortunately, he was eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

Yi Dou said: Isn't the Summoning Summit competition coming up soon? So I signed up! It's just a pity that I was eliminated in the preschool group.

Hisaki Shinobu, who had also signed up for the competition, also lost, which shocked everyone. 'Inazuma Superman' can actually lose? There are still experts out there?

If we look at what Hisagi Shinobu himself said in the story, it turns out he lost to Shinkai, so it's not surprising.

[Ichidou said, "Actually, I've already observed this. To play cards well, your hand has to look good first! I lost because my hand was too ordinary!"]

This is a typical example of a poor student having too many stationery items. Hisaki Shinobu doesn't agree with this, so Ichito seeks approval from Yingmei.

Finally, the traveler was faced with the same dilemma of choosing "who to support" again, but this time it wasn't a life-or-death situation. There was no pressure, and Lin Qiu lost interest in writing, so he simply chose to write about fighting against Yi Dou in a battle of the Seven Sages Summoning.

The Traveler used a deck of cards called "One-Dou". His deck was so inexplicable that even Seno couldn't understand the deck-building strategy. The most useful cards in the entire deck were "Clock Sword" and "Gambler's Head".

Ichidou even put six greatswords into this deck, which was completely inexplicable, but what was even more inexplicable was that the Traveler actually won.

[Kuki Shinobu exclaimed in amazement: "How could they win like that? The Traveler... is truly amazing."]

After defeating Arataki Ichidou, the traveler remembered the important matter: she had come to ask where the Heart Sea Fish was.

Kuki Shinobu and Ichito were unaware of this, but Kujo Sara probably knew, as she was in charge of maintaining order at the venue.

As for where Kujo Sara was, the two of them knew, since Ichito was considered a 'dangerous element' and was being closely monitored by Sara.

What I'm afraid of is that he might suddenly pull a real-life "I haven't lost yet!" move during the game!

Following the directions of the two, the traveler found Kujo Sara. The three women chatted casually, with Paimon curiously asking her who she supported more in the final.

Kujo Sara once almost 'arrested' Yae no Miko, and even confronted Sango no Kokoro directly. Choosing between these two women isn't about who you like, but rather who you dislike more, right?

To this question, Sara's answer was simple: It doesn't matter.

She only supports General Thunder and opposes anyone who opposes him. Now that neither of these two people oppose the general, she naturally doesn't dislike either of them.

As for the competition, General has already been eliminated, so the final is irrelevant to her. That's the significance of General's single-push strategy.

As for another question that travelers are concerned about, Kujo Sara does not know where Shinkai is, because Shinkai has already left the venue.

It has to be said that the Sea of ​​Hearts is really hard to find, and it also has to be said that the traveler has a wide network of connections. By searching for the Sea of ​​Hearts, he has almost met all the famous people in Inazuma.

However, this is still not as good as the Rongcai Festival, where they really searched the whole place.

In the end, it was Goro who happened to be passing by who told the traveler the location of the Sea of ​​Hearts, on the western coast.

No wonder she's Coral Palace Heart Sea; she's all about the West Coast.

Arriving on the west coast, 'Ornamental Fish' was admiring the sea view. She wanted to see Haiji Island in the distance, but she couldn't see it at all from here.

[Xin Hai said, "Even on such a clear day, we can't see the distant Umijima Island from Narukami Island. Let alone when the thunderstorm was still going on."]

The illustration shows the sea where you can see Hakyun Island, but you can't see Haigee Island.

Kavi took out a map and pondered for a moment: "Hmm... judging from the terrain, it's probably because Haiqi Island is located at a low elevation, so it's being blocked."

Elheisen: "...Idiot."

Kavi was furious. "Did I say something wrong and you call me an idiot?!"

Ehrlich didn't mean to explain; the person was talking about 'politics,' and you're here discussing geography—what else can you call that but an idiot, a romantic fool?

I've always said you have a terrible political sense, and you're really proving that point with all your might.

Xin Hai clearly used "good weather" to express the harmony between the two sides, and "thunderstorm" to indicate the conflict between them. What he wanted to say was that everyone was getting along well now, but there was still no possibility of Hai Zhi Island "returning".

The traveler understood these subtle hints far better than Kavi. She didn't catch the meaning in Xin Hai's words, but she realized that the focus of this final was not on winning or losing.

The character Yingmei in the story points out this truth: she and the Divine Child actually knew the outcome of the battle all along, right?

After Yingmei said that, some people with a keen political sense understood that Xinhai would definitely be the one to win in the end. It was just a case of "small ball turning into big ball".

Small-scale, non-political exchanges, like this competition, are used to leverage broader bilateral relations.

Well, although both are card-playing stories, Inazuma's story is much more serious than the previous two, which makes it much more interesting. Readers like to read stories with a bit of 'dirty stuff' involved.

After all, prophecies are based on reality; to them, it's like reading current affairs and politics, albeit in a humorous and witty version.

As we all know, people automatically become interested in politics and history as they get older, so many older readers read it quite carefully.

Inazuma's side isn't playing cards; they're playing the game of interpersonal relationships.

Readers are already curious about what happens next in Sumeru. Will the final battle be between the desert people and the rainforest people?!

Hurry, hurry, hurry! We need to see rivers of blood!

Whether there was a bloodbath in Sumeru is hard to say, but the battle between the Divine Child and the Heart Sea on Inazuma's side was extremely fierce.

Although everyone had already guessed the ending, the two women's 'personal grudges' wouldn't allow for any leniency. Both women were racking their brains to scheme against each other, using all sorts of dirty tricks.

Winning is fine, but if you want to win with gusto, that's not okay!

Chapter 738 An Uncertain Match

The traveler and Xin Hai returned to the arena together and met Charlotte and Qi Liangliang, and the group chatted.

Since this was the first time these girls had met, Yingmei naturally took on the role of matchmaker.

Although Kira is also a traveler and has traveled to three countries with Charlotte, they just happened to miss each other in the first two countries. Now they can finally get to know each other.

Charlotte was still thinking about the headline: "Inatsuma Shinmei advances to the semi-finals with her brilliance, but her opponent gives her a sly smile..."

This was the news headline she came up with, and the illustration even thoughtfully included it, showing the Shinji and Kage standing at opposite ends of the castle tower roof.

The inspiration for this scene was naturally provided by Lin Qiu, which was the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue at the Forbidden City.

Charlotte muttered worriedly to herself, "Inazuma's lightning shouldn't strike Fontaine, right?"

Her concern is reasonable, because she wrote "the gods rely on their power and glory," which is practically saying that Yingbao only made it to the semi-finals by intimidating others with her power.

Even though it's the truth, you can't just say whatever comes to mind.

Charlotte in real life is even more embarrassed. It was hard to say whether she could do it before, but now she sees Thor all the time.

After all, Thor often appears near Lin Qiu, so it's not difficult to see him.

Fortunately, although Ying is stubborn, she is not short-tempered, so she wouldn't kill her over something like this.

After Xin Hai joined the chat, the group talked about the 'Card Thief' incident and told Xin Hai what had happened.

The traveler's description of Xin Hai highlights her intelligence, so it's natural that she would bring up this matter to seek clarification.

Xin Hai indicated that he had already made some progress simply by listening to Paimon's account.

[Xin Hai said, "To put it simply, the key clue to this incident lies with Miss Qi Liangliang."]

Qi Liangliang was completely bewildered. Me? Am I a thief? How come I didn't know? Nobody notified me!

Readers and travelers alike were astonished: the case was solved so quickly? You're making us look so clueless!

Heizo Kanoin was slightly surprised. He had also seen the truth, but he had at least seen it when he read the prophecy book. Shinkai, on the other hand, was able to see the problem just by listening to Paimon's side of the story.

This level of reasoning made Heizo slightly excited.

As expected of a strategist, his wisdom is simply too outstanding.

Well, regarding the plot of Xin Hai, apart from her legendary missions, every story really showcases her strategic wisdom, except for the legendary stories, which are quite mysterious.

So after thinking about it, Lin Qiu decided not to write her legendary story, but to let everyone know how smart Xin Hai is through other stories.

Now everyone's curious about what this has to do with Kira Ryo. She doesn't look like a 'card thief' at all, more like a phantom thief driving a car...

In the earlier part of the story, Kurumi mentioned that the Card Thief's demeanor was more like that of her client, perhaps because he was about to die.

But when Hu Tao met Qi Liangliang, she didn't say that Qi Liangliang was suitable to be her client. If she were suitable, Hu Tao would definitely try to sell her some products.

Everyone still has a lot of faith in Hu Tao's judgment, even though this faith seems rather inexplicable.

In short, after Xin Hai mentioned that the key was with Qi Liangliang, everyone suspected that Qi Liangliang was being used, since she did look a bit like a silly cat.

We were hoping Xin Hai would give an answer, but unfortunately, she didn't immediately address everyone's confusion because her competition was about to begin.

Xin Hai went to the competition first, and Paimon spoke to the Traveler with a puzzled look on his face.

Paimon asked in bewilderment, "I told you the whole story, but I have absolutely no idea where the truth can be found."

She asked Ying, "Traveler, am I really as stupid as a violet?"

Paimon's expression in the illustration is aggrieved, with a hint of anxiety mixed in.

It's clear she genuinely feels stupid and is now desperately seeking comfort from the traveler.

Under such an emotional onslaught, even Yi Dou wouldn't dare call her a flying dwarf melon.

So the reader immediately denied it: No way! Not stupid! You're fine!

Of course they should deny it, because they couldn't see where the problem lay either.

If they agree with Paimon here, then they will also be affected by the area-of-effect attack.

No, you can't think about this issue deeply, or you'll fall into nihilistic doubt!

The traveler in the story steered the conversation towards the competition, so let's follow the traveler's advice and watch the competition first, instead of overthinking it.

The two women are standing face to face in the competition, with one in red and the other in blue in the illustration background, making them a classic pairing.

The only regret is that Xin Hai's height is not ideal, making him look slightly disadvantaged in the standing position. Fortunately, Teacher Abedo's superb drawing skills made up for this by using some perspective angles.

The two women were evenly matched in terms of both imposing manner and verbal sparring, each trying to outdo the other.

【Yae no Miko was the first to mock, "Arriving so late, I thought you'd gotten lost while taking a walk underwater, Miss 'Deep-Sea Turbot'."】

"Deep-sea flounder" is Xin Hai's online name, and Shen Zi's taunt is centered around "deep-sea fish".

It means: Damn, why did it take you so long? Get on the kang (heated brick bed)!

Coral Palace Heart Sea retorted, "I heard that 'Exquisite Fried Tofu' cools down quickly. If it's not served hot, it'll probably become cold and greasy."

"Exquisite Fried Tofu" is Yae no Miko's online name, and Kokoro retorted with the same words.

It means: Damn, what's the rush? Here we are.

The two women stood very close together, exchanging trash talk. It's normal to talk trash when playing cards.

The readers' eyes widened in amazement. This was fantastic! This was exactly what we'd been waiting for. We love watching women fight, especially two intelligent women.

Judging from how fiercely they're mocking each other now, it's bound to turn into a bloodbath if they start fighting later, right? Is it a battle of wits or a fight of violence?

Unfortunately, it's unclear what kind of struggle it was, because Lin Qiu didn't write about it at all, skipping the process and only writing the result.

As everyone expected, Xin Hai was the winner in the end.

But the readers are frustrated. Don't you know what we want to see most, Qiu Cheng? You've disappointed us so much!

The most dissatisfied party is Sino, what about the process?! Although I'm not a math major, I want to see the process!

It's one thing that the Traveler missed the previous two finals and wasn't allowed to watch the process, but why isn't he allowed to watch this time even though he made it? Does he think I'm an outsider?

Even the Divine Child and Xin Hai themselves were a little disappointed. Although everyone knew the outcome, they were still very curious about the process.
