Chapter 172: Genshin Impact
[The second video starts playing below: Genshin Impact - Hu Tao: Zhongli! Are you sure I should pay for this table? ]
[Ganyu] "Genshin Impact is a living thing? What does that mean?"
[Traveler Ying] "It can be roughly understood as that kind of abstract performance art. I remember seeing it when I traveled to various worlds with my brother."
[Albedo] "I have painted some abstract paintings. I think it is to transform the image of a person or thing into another more exaggerated concept."
[Nashida] "It's like an ordinary slime that can be seen everywhere, but after a series of rumors, it becomes a powerful demon king."
[Paimon] "You're exaggerating. Ordinary people would be so scared if they encountered a monster like a slime on the way that they wouldn't dare to move."
[Traveler Ying] "In short, what Nashida meant is that the slightly scary creature turned into an extremely terrifying monster."
[Funina] "Nashida, your metaphor is really a bit special..."
[Wendy] "Looking at the title, it seems to be about an old man. Is this another video about eating without paying?"
[Zhongli] "From a common sense perspective, since I'm mentioned in the title, I will most likely appear in the video. I'm just not sure what I look like in the video."
[Hu Tao] "I will definitely have a role to play. Just looking at the title, the entire plot has already emerged in my mind."
[Paimon] "What is what?"
[Hu Tao] "Well, to make it short, my guest invited his relatives and friends to dinner, and specially selected those expensive dishes. In the end, Zhongli found that he forgot to bring Mora, so he charged the entire cost of the meal to the Wangsheng Hall account..."
【Traveler Ying】“This plot makes sense.”
【Wendy】“That’s exactly what he would do.”
[Hu Tao] "Finally, I, Hu Tao, bought (buried) Zhongli as a list in a fit of rage... What do you think, Hu Tao, my script is pretty good, right? Do you want me to explain the process to you in detail on the spot?"
[Xiao] "...disrespectful to the Immortal Master."
[Zhongli] "Master Hu really has some wonderful ideas. Although it is somewhat slanderous to me, it is still interesting overall."
[Hu Tao] "Of course, I am a black doggerel poet from the alley school. At most, I exaggerated your personality traits a little bit... But, Zhongli, you wouldn't do that, would you?"
[Zhongli] "Of course not."
[Wendy] "The video is about to start. We'll know what it's like then."
At the beginning of the video, on the streets of Liyue City, the gloomy-faced traveler Ying began to complain, "Paimon, I can't stand it! I feel like I'm playing a fake version of Genshin Impact! Why do others get a dragon-slaying sword for every click? I only have a bladeless iron sword that I haven't changed for two years!"
"Why do others defy fate and change their destiny..."
Traveler Ying's eyes drifted towards Paimeng beside him, and he said with great dissatisfaction, "I only have the heaven-defying food here!"
Paimon: "Who are you calling a traitor?"
[Klee] "What fake original god? Klee doesn't understand what the Honor Knight sister is saying?"
[Captain] "Then put it another way. In your opinion, did the traveler Ying come from another world to your world of Teyvat?"
[Barbara] "Yes, basically most people who know the Knight of Honor know that she is a traveler from a foreign land."
[Captain] "Generally speaking, we call this kind of people time travelers, and time travelers often have the aura of the protagonist."
[Kamisato Ayaka] "The traveler Ying does have the characteristics of the protagonist in those adventure novels. Wherever he goes, bad things happen."
[Lisa] "For example, the Wind Dragon of Mondstadt."
[Ningguang] "Osair, the demon god of Liyue."
[Goro] "Based on the current information, Inazuma's [Isolation Order] and [Eye Hunting Order] both occurred around the same time as you, the traveler, arrived on the continent of Teyvat."
[Traveler Ying] "Haha, I'm really sorry that I'm the protagonist."
[Captain] "And those who possess the dragon-slaying sword mentioned by Traveler Ying in the video and who can change their fate are basically the protagonists who can cheat."
[Paimon] "Cheating?"
[Brownie] "To put it simply, it means using external forces to easily and simply gain powerful strength without spending much time and without any side effects. And powerful strength is usually at the level of being able to defeat everything in sight."
[Traveler Ying] "Oh my god, I'm so envious. I want to cheat, too. Although my sealed strength is slowly returning to me, this process is very long."
"Now that I understand how I feel in the video, it seems that Paimon is pretty useless except for being a great eater and being by my side all the time."
[Paimon] "Hey! Traveler Ying! I'm very useful. For example... I can work with you to find solutions and solve problems that test your brain. I can also help you solve problems in your daily life."
【Traveler Ying】"Now that I think about it, you seem to be more important than I thought."
[Paimon] "That's right! Don't underestimate me."
The video continued, and Traveler Ying began to shake her hands violently, as if she was crying and making a fuss like a spoiled child, "I don't care! Paimon! The stragglers in the last pool have drained my body! The Lantern Festival is coming soon..."
Then the traveler took out his phone and opened Alipay. "I don't want to hear it again..."
Ding——(Pay 648 yuan via Alipay)
"That's the sound! Can you think of a way to change it?"
Paimon pulled out a board with the Webuff icon on it. "You might need this."
Traveler Ying decisively rejected Paimon's idea and wanted to slap herself. She actually thought it was too stupid to come up with a more reliable idea for this emergency food.
[Bronya] "Bronya looks very familiar. It sounds like the sound of a game recharge."
[Captain] "I guess some high-dimensional world designed a game based on your continent of Teyvat, and you are basically the controllable characters in the game."
[Theresa] "Generally speaking, game characters are divided into quality levels, such as four stars and five stars..."
[Funina] "Oh, this sounds very interesting. I wonder what the attributes of my game character are in their settings?"
[Navia] "If it's a god, it should be a very strong one, right?"
[Bronya] "Usually according to the game settings, the attributes of god-level characters are only slightly stronger than other characters, but not too much stronger, otherwise the game will be unbalanced."
