Raiden Ei, Who Had No Interest in the Rankings

Tang San: "But where is this so-called Teyvat?"

Yu Xiaogang: "I've never heard of such a place. According to my theories, it must be some little continent tucked away in a remote corner."

Bibi Dong: "Even I, the Pope of Spirit Hall, have never heard of this continent. I imagine it's merely a continent inhabited by some insignificant, inferior creatures. It isn't worth mentioning."

Tang San: "Agreed."

Dai Mubai: "Agreed."

Raiden Ei: "Rankings and all that? Not interested!"

Raiden Ei: "I came to ask, do any of you know where I can find tasty desserts and milk?"

Tang San: "You already have a path to death."

Yu Xiaogang: "Xiao San, why bother with some bumpkin from Teyvat?"

Bibi Dong: "As the Pope of Spirit Hall, my name is certain to be on it."

Raiden Ei: "So, do any of you know where I can find tasty desserts and milk?"

Tang San: "..."

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

At this point in the Douluo Continent's timeline,

the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was about to begin.

Shrek Academy.

Tang San couldn't help frowning when he saw the words on the sky screen.

"Who's this Raiden Ei? How come I've never heard of her?"

Yu Xiaogang stroked his beard. "In my opinion, she's nothing but a bumpkin from that so-called Teyvat."

"I could slap her to death with one hand. She's fucking bragging without even preparing a draft."

Dai Mubai raised his head proudly.

"Once the rankings are announced, that bumpkin will find out what a true powerhouse is."

The others from Shrek all nodded.

They held the shut-in named Raiden Ei in utter contempt.

As far as they knew, Raiden Ei was nothing but a bumpkin from the inferior continent called Teyvat.

Dai Mubai added:

"With such a grand spectacle in the sky, all she can think about is food? Is she an idiot or what?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "The people of Teyvat really are ignorant."

Tang San said coolly, "When she makes the rankings, I'll show her what a true powerhouse is."

Meanwhile,

in the Teyvat chat group.

Mavuika: "Does anyone know where there's a repair shop? My motorcycle broke down again."

Lin Feng: "No idea."

Zhongli: "From a generally rational standpoint, a blacksmith's shop in Heaven Dou City might be able to repair it."

Mavuika: "A blacksmith's shop? They work iron there. This is a motorcycle."

Columbina: "Sleeping."

Mavuika: "Why are you still asleep? It's already noon."

Columbina: "I just woke up. That annoying ranking woke me."

Venti @Lin Feng: "Ehe, that thing in the sky is even bigger than Celestia's screen. Was it your doing, Lin Feng? What are the rewards? Give us a hint in advance. Is there any wine?"

Lin Feng: "It wasn't me."

Nahida: "I'm looking through the books at the Heaven Dou Library, but there are no records related to it. Logically speaking, it may be something of a higher order, at least bigger than Celestia."

Furina: "Bigger than Celestia? Wouldn't that make it bigger than me? No, no, I can't stand for this. Even my concert stage isn't that big."

Nahida: "Miss Furina, I think you're focusing on the wrong thing."

Raiden Ei: "So, do any of you know where I can find tasty desserts and milk?"

Lin Feng: "You already asked that in the livestream just now."

Raiden Ei: "No one answered me. The people of the Douluo Continent aren't friendly."

Zhongli: "Ei, you suddenly ran over to their livestream just now. I'm afraid it would be hard to expect them to be friendly to you."

Raiden Ei: "I only wanted to ask where on the Douluo Continent I could find tasty desserts and milk."

Venti: "Hahahahaha! That's just like you! But speaking of which, that little fellow called Tang San really was pretty sharp-tongued. 'You already have a path to death'-wow, how scary~"

Mavuika: "I watched the livestream. That Dai Mubai said he'd slap you to death, Raiden Ei. I want to laugh, but my motorcycle broke down again, so I can't."

Raiden Ei: "Slap me to death? ...Interesting. Let him come. I can try out my new kitchen knife."

Nahida: "Ei, a kitchen knife isn't a weapon."

Raiden Ei: "Chopping vegetables is cultivation, and so is fighting. A knife is a knife."

Sandrone: "...So you opened a restaurant for the sake of cultivation?"

Raiden Ei: "Because desserts and milk are closest to a restaurant. With it open inside the restaurant, I can eat whenever I want."

Lin Feng: "Is that why you opened a 'Raiden Shogun Restaurant' in Heaven Dou City and only sold three meals in a month?"

Raiden Ei: "...Meals aren't important. Desserts are."

Venti: "Speaking of which, the people of the Douluo Continent seem to look down on us~"

Venti: "Do they know what level any one of us is at?"

Mavuika: "Probably not. I saw that Dai Mubai say he'd slap Raiden Ei to death."

Venti: "Ehe~ Then when he comes, Ei, remember to go easy on him."

Raiden Ei: "Why?"

Venti: "Because slapping him to death would be letting him off too easily~"

Lin Feng: "Venti, you're fanning the flames again."

Venti: "Ehe~"

Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace.

"A ranking?"

"Making the rankings earns a reward."

On the Pope's throne,

Bibi Dong held her scepter, her gaze resting on the sky screen.

Her eyes slowly swept across it from left to right.

The Douluo section, the Teyvat section.

Then her gaze stopped on the left.

As for the word "Teyvat" on the right, it lingered in her field of vision for less than an instant before she skipped over it entirely.

It was as if that section didn't exist at all.

She didn't understand it-why would making the rankings earn a reward? Even the Rakshasa God Trial demanded a tremendous price in exchange for a corresponding gift. What gave the sky screen the right to be so generous?

But that didn't matter.

What mattered was that she, Bibi Dong, would surely be on the list.

"The ten strongest on the Douluo Continent?"

"With my strength, only that old fossil could possibly surpass me."

"My name is sure to be on it."

Her fingers tapped lightly against her scepter.

"Perhaps, with the reward from the list, I can pass the Rakshasa God Trial more easily."

"Or even get something better than the Rakshasa Godhood."

At the thought, Bibi Dong's gaze grew a little more fervent.

As for that so-called Teyvat?

She hadn't taken it to heart at all.

It was a place she had never even heard of.

Spirit Hall's intelligence network covered the entire Douluo Continent, and even had records of Sea God Island, yet the word "Teyvat" had never appeared.

That left only one possibility—an inferior continent tucked away in some remote corner, not even worth recording.

How strong could the people there be?

She, Bibi Dong, was Level 98 and carried the Rakshasa God's inheritance. Across the entire Douluo Continent, she regarded no one but that old fossil Qian Daoliu as worth her attention.

Teyvat?

It was nothing but a place where a bunch of ants lived.

Normally, she wouldn't have been interested in giving it a second glance.

But...

Since the sky screen said killing someone on the rankings allowed one to seize their reward,

then after she obtained her own reward, it wouldn't hurt to make a trip to Teyvat along the way, crush everyone on its list, and collect their rewards as well.

She would treat it as an after-dinner stroll.

"Send word to Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo."

"Within three days, find out everything about that Raiden Ei."

"If there's an opportunity..."

A cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Kill her."
