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

All I can say is that these skirmishers truly live up to their name; they're the perfect tool wherever they go.

When he was created by General Thunder, he was the 'best vessel for the heart of God', but unfortunately, he was emotionally fragile and was abandoned.

However, Shadow was rather stubborn at the time. He didn't want a vessel with a heart; he wanted a tool that would strictly adhere to the rules and never change. Thus, General Thunder was born.

He worked very hard in the Ta Ba Sha guerrilla area, and also handled the crisis in Ta Ba Sha. After resolving the crisis, he even honestly uploaded his work records.

After the winter solstice, he was studied by the doctor and sent by the Ice God to explore the abyss. He returned after several years and was promoted to the sixth seat.

Now that he has arrived at Sumeru, he is still Narcida's best 'tool' when she conducts investigations within the World Tree, because he also connected with the World Tree when he became a god.

The only problem is that this guy has a bad temper.

This is why the traveler is still very worried. The soldiers are so irritable, cunning, and ruthless. Nasita, don't be fooled by them!

However, the audience wasn't worried about Narcida being deceived. Putting aside the fact that Narcida is the goddess of wisdom, the main reason was their trust in the family's ancestral honesty.

The Traveler and Paimon, not being very trusting of the Thunder Family's traditions, soon got into a fight with the skirmishers.

Nasita gently advised, "Oh dear, you've started arguing so quickly, how awful... Could you please calm down a bit?"

Nasida's words and tone were like those of a teacher coaxing a child, full of motherly warmth.

Although the Traveler, the Skirmisher, and Paimon do look a bit childish standing together, Narcida is definitely the smallest in comparison, and this contrast... makes her even more likable.

It's puzzling how I could feel a motherly feeling towards a little girl. Is that normal?

Whether feeling sorry for one's mother is normal or not is another matter, but deceiving the god of wisdom is already quite abstract.

After everyone finished reading the story, they realized that everything seemed to have been within Nasita's calculations all along.

She sends out skirmishers to lure travelers in, and then uses other skirmishers to lure them in.

Deceiving Narcida? To this, "Doctor" said: It would be best if we could deceive her.

If he could really fool them, he would also take back the "scattered troops".

Nasita said, "If I could, I wouldn't want to say this, but 'The Doctor' doesn't seem to have any intention of taking the losers away, so..."

The meaning of this sentence is quite simple: the Fools have already abandoned their scattered troops.

The Doctor has already traded away the slices and some knowledge; if he wants to trade with Narcida again, he'll have to pay a hefty price. Clearly, the "scattered soldiers" after the experiment are not worth the Doctor's heavy losses.

The soldier said, "Most relationships in the world are based on mutual exploitation. This kind of exploitative relationship is the most stable form of interpersonal connection. The fools, including myself and each other, are no exception."

The Fools felt suddenly attacked, but D'Artagnan and the others did not refute it.

Because the skirmisher was right; the Fools were indeed like that—a relatively loose organization.

Therefore, when D'Artagnan spent money, he never considered Pantalone's feelings.

I use your money to build relationships and complete tasks. If you can't provide me with enough money, then you lose your value.

Pantalone had a similar idea: "I give you money to accomplish my goals. If you can't do it, you lose your value."

At least some photos of Zhong Li... I mean, some research data, you need to give me some, right?

The Fools do indeed have a mutually exploitative relationship, which ensures that they remain the most steadfast allies until they lose their value.

In some ways, they are very compatible and like a loving family.

This is especially true for Rosalyn, because she no longer has any use to anyone and no family.

Returning to the story, the stragglers were still expressing their views.

The soldier continued, "No one will abandon something as long as it's valuable. But after this incident, I have to admit I'll lose some credibility..."

What he meant was, I admit that I am worthless among the Fools.

The traveler said sarcastically, "Is that so? That's a real shame."

Regretful? The traveler certainly doesn't feel regretful, especially since she deliberately used "了呢" at the end of the sentence, which was completely sarcastic.

Having just been tricked by the scattered soldiers, the Traveler immediately launched a counterattack, showing no signs of backing down.

[The stragglers scoffed: "...Hmph, the Fools will reassess my usefulness, so I'll have to secure my own future."]

The backup plan he was referring to was probably working for Nasida.

Most people approved of Narcida's decision because everyone still remembered the soldier's identity—he was a puppet!

Sending a puppet to jail is a bit abstract; for him, spending hundreds of years in jail is no big deal. Killing a puppet directly feels like no compensation has been made, so it's better to make him work.

However, as colleagues of the skirmisher, the other executives were quite curious about what happened next, mainly what the skirmisher and Nasida traded.

A transaction requires both parties to have something that appeals to the other, right? Now we know what Nasita made the soldiers do, and what did the soldiers get in return?

The Heart of God? Impossible, because the Hearts of the Grass God and the Thunder God have already been given to "Doctor".

What else could it be? What else could it be? What would the skirmishers want?

They didn't know, but the stragglers did know what they wanted. Just like themselves now, all they wanted was the 'truth,' which was also the meaning of their existence.

No, it's about value. Tools should be evaluated using value...

The soldier didn't care that he was being used as a tool, because he felt that all relationships in the world were a two-way process of utilization, and it wasn't strange to be used as a tool.

The Fools no longer wanted to use him, so he chose to cooperate with someone else who still found him valuable.

In short, he still wanted to find his own value, even if it was through 'mutual exploitation'.

From its inception, the skirmisher has been struggling with this question, struggling to find its own value.

This is hard for ordinary people to understand. Why bother? Why care so much about finding your own value?

For most people, social relationships and identity recognition are the meaning of their existence.

But it's different for stragglers. They have no social connections and their identity is out of place with those around them.

His creator, Raymond Cinema, did not give him any value, or rather, deprived him of the value he should have had.

Then he kept searching for the meaning of his existence, and kept failing.

Until now, he seems to have rediscovered his value.

Character Voice Lines - D'Artagnan: About Zhongli Pantalone

"I just don't understand, I really don't understand. I took some photos of us together, what is he still unhappy about?"

Chapter 812 Entering the World Tree

Because they were looking for new value, the stragglers obediently followed Nasida, and Nasida didn't have to worry about being deceived by him.

What is the value of the stragglers? On one hand, Nasita planned to test some hypotheses, and on the other hand, it was also for the travelers, who might be able to find records of her blood relatives in the World Tree.

The Fools know more about the records of the Descendants than Narcida, because the Descendants are beings from outside the world, not recorded in the World Tree, and Sora is a special case.

Since the skirmisher is an executor, he must know something about the Descendants, and he also has the ability to connect to the World Tree, which makes him very useful.

Nasita, too, genuinely wanted to help the traveler find his brother.

Unlike the previous gods, Zhongli and Wendy know something, but they don't say it.

Ying... Her intention to help was good, but unfortunately, she really knew nothing.

Although it was meant to help the travelers, Paimon was still not quite comfortable cooperating with the skirmishers.

Paimon said, "Anyway...anyway, I don't trust that guy. He's been going against us plenty of times before."

Nasita nodded. "I understand. But sometimes, 'stance' is the prerequisite for everything."

This statement perfectly captures the essence of the "scattered soldiers" mentality: "Sometimes, 'stance' is the prerequisite for everything."

The soldier did evil, but he also did do good.

Such a character, who embodies both good and evil, is such that one's attitude towards him largely depends on one's "stance".

Lin Qiu felt nothing for the stragglers because, in his view, their merits and demerits did not outweigh each other, so he was indifferent to them.

As for the Teyvats, most of them sided with the traveler, and if the traveler resisted, they would resist as well.

However, because Lin Qiu had previously written some stories about stragglers, some people hoped that he could genuinely repent.

If he doesn't repent, then there's nothing that can be done. Teyvats live in this world in a real way, and they can't like a purely evil person, like the Doctor.

They viewed the doctor's misdeeds like watching a news report; they were furious but powerless to do anything about it, and simply couldn't bring themselves to like it.

Nasita continued, "Traveler, I have always known your wish."

"We've connected mentally several times, and I know that somewhere deep in your heart, there's always been a strong longing... It's like someone searching for the only candle in the dark."

Nasita used her wonderful metaphors to describe the traveler's longing for his blood relatives, which made Kong feel a little heartbroken.

Inside a movie theater, the eyes of the man, completely covered up, revealed his longing. He also wanted to see his sister, but he couldn't yet.

Kong, dressed in dark blue, sighed. Luckily, the theater was dark, otherwise his attire would have only made him seem strange and attracted more attention.

Suppressing the longing in my heart, I continued watching the movie, where Nasita was speaking.

Nasita's gaze was firm: "Defending against the scattered soldiers is something I, as a deity of Mount Sumeru, must do. But I also consider you a friend, and I've been thinking about what I can do for you."

"If trading with the skirmishers could give you the answer you've been longing for, I'd be more than happy to."

"Thank you, Nasita!" Two identical voices spoke in unison; it turned out that Yingmei in real life was saying the same words as in the movie.

The difference is that in the movie, Yingmei only said these words with a slightly moved expression, while in reality, Ying directly hugged Naxida tightly.

Because Nasita was sitting in a chair, Ying seemed to be nestled in Nasita's arms.

Luckily, the other one is small enough to be held in one's arms; it's fragrant and soft.

There were no outsiders in the theater, otherwise the Sumeru people who saw this scene would be extremely envious. The traveler got all the benefits without paying any price.

Nilu and Dina Zede weren't particularly envious, because they both loved traveling, and the scene before them only made them feel that it was too beautiful.

Two adorable creatures are cuddling together, and it feels like some strange attribute is about to awaken.

"It's okay, it's okay." Nasita didn't resist, but instead reached out her little hand to pat Ying's head.

You know what, Yingmei smells really good too, and her blonde hair is so smooth.

"I also want to thank you on behalf of Ying, Nasita~!" Paimon also rushed over, but unfortunately there was no room for her. Hesitating in the air for a long time, she finally hugged the Great Tree King, which was also very soft!

The Great Tree King smiled and naturally did not resist; her personality was actually the same as Nasita's.

Paimon was clearly trying to thank Nasita, so why was he hugging the Great Tree King? Because Nasita was sitting in a chair with her back against the backrest, so there was no room for her.

But it's good this way; the combination of one big and one small looks very pleasing to the eye.

He's just sitting there, alone, reminiscing about his sister...

I thought to myself: My sister must be very lonely, and she must miss me a lot.

Yingmei's attitude towards this was: Hehehe, it feels so good.

While they were having an emotional outburst, they were also having a rational outburst.

Navelette, who was far from the gods: I see. As expected of the god of wisdom, he achieved multiple goals at once and even did someone a favor. Very clever.

This dragon still doesn't quite understand the purity of human emotions; sometimes, people act solely out of affection, rather than self-interest.

Navilette believed that Nasita's help to travelers was a side benefit.

In reality, helping the travelers was Nasita's primary objective, while dealing with the stragglers was secondary and merely a side benefit.

It's a pity that Teyvat doesn't have a Journey to the West story, otherwise everyone would realize that this is simply Guanyin Bodhisattva subduing Red Boy.

San Hai'er has already served as Guanyin Baolian (a divine position), now it's time to get pricked by thorns.

So, was Guanyin Bodhisattva's main purpose in subduing Red Boy? Actually, no. The key was to ensure a smooth journey to the West; subduing Red Boy was just a convenient side effect.

The same applies to travelers; the key is to ensure their journey goes smoothly.

If the stragglers and travelers travel together, the travelers can also play a supervisory role. The prison guard travelers will start supervising the stragglers' exercise time.

The scene shifts to the World Tree, which is different from the one we saw last time; it has become even more beautiful.

The purple color has turned pink, it seems that the World Tree is much more relaxed after the forbidden knowledge was removed, and the skirmishers are standing in front of the World Tree waiting.

[Nasita's voice came through: "You've successfully reunited."]

Nasita's mother also reminded them not to argue, as it was very dangerous to get separated inside the World Tree.
