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

Jade continued, "Tirzad is too rigid. You need to be more open-minded to make more friends, right, Benben?"

A broad mind? Tirzad sighed helplessly; how could he have no friends if he lacked any broad mind?

He was studying while others were playing, studying while others were studying, and studying while others were working.

When you finally want to make friends, you step out of the lab and find that your peers outside already have their own social circles, and you find yourself all alone without even realizing it.

No matter what Jade said, Tirzad was still somewhat resistant, after all, this thing didn't look very safe.

Most importantly, there are very few records of this creature, 'Benben,' in current literature, and even fewer that can 'communicate' like it.

Humans are always filled with both fear and curiosity about the unknown, and now Tirzad's fear has triumphed over his curiosity.

But Jade discovered a blind spot: there were very few records in the literature? Isn't that a good thing?

"Tirzad! Isn't this fantastic news?"

Tirzad hadn't realized what the good news was yet, the traveler added:

"Materials that no one else has have been delivered to my door."

Clever travelers react quickly; they have great brains, but they just don't like to use them.

That makes sense! Tirzad suddenly understood, but before he could even feel happy, pessimism came knocking first.

[Tirzad sighed: "Perhaps someone has already published ten monographs, thoroughly researching Benben's lineage..."]

He didn't believe such a good opportunity could come his way, so he started indulging in the worst-case scenario.

It can only be said that what Zeberlele said is absolutely right; if you have this kind of mentality, you might as well not do research in the first place.

With this mindset, the research will be in a constant state of anxiety. Even if it succeeds, there will only be a brief moment of joy. If it fails, the sadness will not be diminished by the anxiety along the way.

His anxiety and fear of failure once again overwhelmed his curiosity.

This made Nasida frown slightly, and she even considered using her abilities to tell Tirzad that curiosity was commendable and that he should maintain it.

Xianyun was also very dissatisfied with Tirzad's idea. Why did he always think so much?

I don't care whether others have studied my inventions. As long as I do it, I will do it to the best of my ability. So what if others have studied it?

Xianyun has a strong competitive spirit, and what supports this competitive spirit is a stent called 'confidence'.

Tirzad lacked confidence, but Benben's unusual behavior interrupted Tirzad's pessimism. It suddenly started spinning, and the way it spun around looked just like a Digimon about to evolve.

It seems to be reacting to the stone tablet in Tirzad's hand; perhaps it will actually evolve after contact.

If that's the case, I hope this stone tablet is a 'Fairy Tablet,' as fairy attributes are more powerful.

However, Benben did not evolve; instead, it made part of the stone slab light up.

This was truly unexpected. Everyone thought that something was going to happen to Benben, but it turned out that the stone slab was the one that was going to change.

It's like trying to evolve Eevee with a Fire Stone, only to have it evolve into a Fire Stone instead.

Tirzad could not provide a conclusion about this strange phenomenon, because he did not understand what was going on.

[Tirzad thought for a moment and said, "Wait, I have a very serious matter to ask of the traveler."]

He dismissed Jade and Jeborele and spoke in hushed tones to the traveler.

He wanted to entrust the stone slab to the traveler for safekeeping, fearing that he might not be able to control it if something unusual happened to it later.

The traveler is fine; she's very lucky, maybe even more so than Teyvat.

As for handing it over to Jade and the others, that wouldn't work, because Tirzad himself didn't really trust the desert people.

In reality, Jade was a little sad. She thought everyone had already "changed their ways," but she didn't expect there to be so many disagreements. Aren't we good friends?

Although Jade is very outgoing and enthusiastic, she doesn't actually have many friends because she rarely interacts with outsiders.

In the rainforest, desert dwellers are ultimately the unwelcome type, which is why Jade is so curious about things in the desert.

In the story, Jade is also returning to the desert for the first time. When she meets Tirzad and the others, she thinks that they are already friends and get along well.

Jeborelle took such good care of Jade that Jade became very simple-minded.

Because of her naivety, the small sadness quickly passed, and Jade continued watching.

After obtaining the stone tablet, the traveler did indeed open some previously inaccessible gates to the ruins.

When those 'switches' are turned on, they look like a foldable phone unfolded, giving it a high-tech feel.

After leaving the ruins, they found Nahtigar standing at the entrance. It turned out that they had opened the other gate when they came out, and Nahtigar had come directly over.

He hadn't considered the possibility that there was a trap behind the door, since Mondl could go wherever he wanted.

Faroshan does not approve of such behavior; she has suffered because of it.

Bennett disagreed, believing that if he were in that situation, there would definitely be a trap.

Perhaps it's because his identity is shrouded in mystery that he can't go wherever he wants like other Mondstadt residents.

However, the people in the story were obviously much luckier; not only did they avoid traps, they even found a way out.

After leaving the desert pit, the group, incredibly lucky, even found an oasis, giving them a place to rest.

Bennett exclaimed, "This is sci-fi! How can someone be this lucky?"

Although he often reads prophetic books, Bennett still doesn't quite get used to the Traveler's good fortune and often can't relate to it.

Whenever something goes wrong, he thinks of a bunch of possibilities, and the traveler just happens to be lucky and solves the problem.

The same applies now. Logically, the traveler's work should be completed here, and she can leave and receive double the reward.

However, Ying is a famous traveler who never hesitates to help others. Even though she could have gone back to collect her reward, she still chose to stay and continue helping.

Because Tirzad gave her a new task: to help him complete this journey.

The traveler didn't refuse because she still needed to earn money to support Paimon; Ying was too family-oriented.

Chapter 761 A Ballad

A few people sat around the campfire and began to listen to Paimon recount the traveler's adventures.

The honorary knight of Mondstadt, the great hero of Liyue, the savior of Inazuma, the sage of Sumeru—Paimon's words may be exaggerated, but they are all true.

Tirzad admires the traveler's wonderful life experience and also wants to have such an exciting adventure.

However, he was very depressed. He dared not disobey his family's arrangements, nor did he dare to take the risk of experiencing an uncertain life, because the sunk costs were too high.

Therefore, he will only obediently choose the life arranged by his family.

People can understand his thoughts, after all, only a few dare to take risks, and most people will choose to live a more ordinary life.

Tirzad was disappointed, but Jade advised him not to think too much about it, saying that someone in his family had chosen their own life.

"Perhaps she's somewhere in this desert right now, just like us, bathed in milky moonlight, facing the dry evening breeze, reflecting on her happy day."

Upon hearing this, Zhebolele slightly raised his head to look at the moon in the sky.

Looking back on her own happiness? Zeborele looked at Jade, perhaps that was it.

Jade had a sweet smile, but the night made the desert seem even more desolate. The group gathered around the campfire, sharing their life stories, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

The light from the campfire shone on Tirzad's face, and the interplay of light and shadow between the night and the fire seemed to reflect the ebb and flow of his inner world.

[Tirzad sighed: "Ah, if only I had even a fraction of her courage..."]

It was too late for regrets, because he was no longer young and had no more precious time to spare.

Jade sighed, "I never imagined making a decision would be so difficult. I'd never really thought about it before. It seems like I've been living a carefree life ever since I can remember."

The camera focused on Gebreler again, but he still didn't speak.

Clearly, this shot is meant to tell everyone that Jade's carefree attitude is based on someone providing shelter and protection.

The traveler said, "Choices are always difficult. Because choosing one means giving up everything else."

It's rare to see a traveler utter such profound words. Perhaps Paimon isn't the only one studying; Yingmei has also secretly enrolled in a class.

Paimon: "So you mean there are ten delicious foods in front of you, and if you choose one, the other nine will all disappear...? Hmm... If only there were ten Paimons and each of them could choose one!"

Paimon's understanding is simple and direct; this seemingly mindless analogy actually makes it easier for everyone to understand.

However, based on the traveler's understanding of Paimon, if there were ten Paimon places, they wouldn't each choose one, but rather each would fantasize about having ten different dishes, eventually resulting in a hundred dishes.

The traveler knows Paimon well; she's not exactly satisfied when it comes to food.

Compared to Paimon's simple and easy-to-understand words, Geberle's words are much more difficult to understand.

"I abandoned the path of seclusion, not because it was wrong, but simply because I found a better path. Jade, I hope you can walk on that path of light."

Readers who have read this far will not understand what he is talking about. Only when they come back to read later will they feel something. This is too similar to Dixia's situation.

At this point, not only the audience, but even Jade didn't quite understand her father's words.

Geborele didn't offer much explanation, but simply sang a song that seemed to have come from nowhere:

The stars rise over the wasteland, and even the nightingale grows weary of the endless days.

It's time to remove the crown of the rose, wash away the dust of the world, and drink the wine of grapes.

Sleep, sleep.

The golden dreamland is calling to the wandering sands.

There's no need to drink that bitter salt water here.

Here, there will be no more worries about tomorrow.

The man hummed the lullaby, his deep voice making the bedtime song seem less 'soothing'.

But similarly, his magnetic voice draws people in unconsciously, making them listen to the entire song.

When Tirzad woke up the next day, he was complaining again. As an 'indoor scholar,' he couldn't adapt to camping in the desert.

[Jed complains: "Tirzad is really spoiled. Does he think he can't sleep if there's a single bean under ten layers of cushions?"]

Teyvat doesn't have the story of the Princess and the Pea; that's Jade's talent for being sarcastic.

This has inspired some fairy tale writers, and perhaps the story of the Princess and the Pea is not far off.

In the story, Jade asks Tirzad if he wants to go back the way he came, since Tirzad has been saying discouraging things the whole way.

If you feel there's no way to get anything out of this, then why suffer any longer?

Tirzad was indeed a bit delicate, but he didn't want to return to Sumeru just like that, after all, 'Benben' was such a good research target right in front of him.

Therefore, his choice was to move forward.

Since the sponsor has said so, let's move on. Our destination is a new ruin, the "Secret Temple".

There are also two statues with fly heads on either side of the entrance to the "Mystic Temple", but one of them is missing its head.

It's possible that the British, I mean the treasure-hunting group, came before the travelers and others, and their head is currently on display in a museum.

Although the statue is missing a head, at least the gate is still locked, and no one has probably been inside. Tirzad's research may have been preserved.

So the question is, how do we open this door?

Last time, we used the stone slabs to open some doors that were otherwise impossible. Perhaps we can do it this time too?

In the scene, the traveler takes out a stone tablet, and Jade, seeing this, exclaims in surprise: ["Huh, how did Tirzad's stone tablet end up in the traveler's hands?"]

Tirzad was not good at socializing and panicked when questioned. After all, he had something to hide and gave the stone tablet to the travelers because he did not trust Jade and the others.

In the end, it was Zhebolele who came to his rescue, saying:

"The Traveler is an experienced adventurer, certainly more familiar with various ruins and mechanisms than Tirzad. Entrusting important items to her for safekeeping will be more effective."

Jeborele said this not to defend Tirzad, but to protect Jade's feelings.

After all, Jade already considered everyone as good friends and always felt that everyone should do something 'unconventional'.

Jade would be heartbroken if she knew that Tirzad had been wary of them all along.

It must be said that Jade's cheerful personality is largely due to Jeborough.

He may look like a muscular, rough guy, but he's actually very perceptive and insightful.

However, the traveler was out of luck; she couldn't understand the stone slab at all.

[Ying: "If I go to the Order Academy for ten years of arduous training..."]
