Mu Yang's Popcorn, Shipping Himself and Lumine

Lumine arrived at the main square of Mondstadt.

She saw Venti, who was preparing to perform there.

They listened to the bard's songs live.

Afterward, Lumine once again used her Tear of Purification ability.

Venti was very surprised.

He asked them to go to the Whispering Woods to find him.

Only then did he reveal his plan.

To steal the Lyre of Winds.

Meanwhile, Mu Yang was getting a bit bored.

He didn't want to get too involved in Mondstadt's main story.

This was Lumine's own adventure.

She could handle all of this.

Besides, compared to what was to come, Mondstadt was child's play.

Since he had nothing else to do, Mu Yang opened a forum on Earth.

He wanted to see if there was any discussion about himself.

Unexpectedly, the damn system started acting up again.

System: "I just found something very interesting, do you want to see it?"

Mu Yang continued browsing the forum.

"No, thanks."

System: "Aren't you even a little curious?"

"Curiosity killed the cat."

System: "Just take a look, for all the hard work I do, okay? ~"

Mu Yang thought to himself.

AI had improved so much, had the system also been updated?

This pleading tone, he had to admit, was quite realistic and alluring.

It even conveyed emotion.

Mu Yang knew this thing wasn't up to anything good.

But he still agreed to take a look.

As expected, the system immediately projected an image onto the panel.

Mu Yang X Venti, their eyes filled with ambiguous emotion.

They were just starting to interact.

The system burst into laughter: "Hahaha, isn't this very interesting, seeing a picture of yourself like this."

It thought Mu Yang would get angry and swipe away.

To its surprise, Mu Yang directly clicked on the link for the image.

And started reading the comments.

Comment section:

[Thirsty, going for a drink, don't grab my thigh]: Oh wow, is the wife starting to play Genshin Impact? And my two favorite characters, I can't even imagine how sweet things will get.

[Can I still apply ointment if it's damp?]: Wife is so prolific! The character art was released yesterday and there's already a picture today.

[Tongue-splitting licking beast]: I won't say anything else, Mu Yang's abs, time to lick.

[Mikasa the Great Offense]: Water or land? I'm betting on Mu Yang going up.

[Little cream puff overflowing]: You're asking that? Little Nanliang's Venti is definitely the one from the Northern Dynasty.

Mu Yang clicked on the author's information.

Her name was Danzi.

She drew a variety of things.

Probably all her favorite pairings.

There were heterosexual, yuri, and even intensely romantic pairings.

Mu Yang quite liked her art style.

So he gave a big gift as a reward.

He commented.

[Mu Yang]: Author, update faster, want to see Mu Yang X Lumine art, thanks!

Earth.

Tuanzi is a small artist.

She produces some fan art for herself to enjoy in her spare time.

After watching the Genshin Impact PV yesterday.

She was deeply attracted by Mu Yang's character design.

Ancient style, white hair, it completely captured her soul.

Before this PV, her favorite character was Venti.

So she immediately drew one that night.

She didn't expect Mu Yang's popularity to be so terrifying.

This rushed piece of art.

Had several times more collections than all her previous works combined.

She couldn't even keep up with the comments.

At this moment, she was playing the Genshin Impact story.

Seeing the fan group pinging her.

She picked up her phone and opened it, seeing 999+.

Tuanzi was speechless, "What did I drive today? Don't get the group banned."

This small group usually only had so many messages when they were "driving."

[@Tuanzi, someone with the ID Mu Yang gave you a lot of money, asking you to draw Mu Yang X Lumine!]

[Hasn't she started slacking off already?]

[Do you believe it? I don't, I bet she's playing Genshin Impact.]

[How did you know I got Diluc on a single pull, who told you?]

[You damn admin, kick her out.]

[Where's Tuanzi? @Tuanzi]

[Stop calling, Tuanzi is a big star now, she's locked us all out.]

[You can tell, the commenter is a true fan, using a character's name for their ID and giving such a big gift.]

[How many tons of pork ribs can you buy with this much money?]

Tuanzi clicked on the message above and finally understood what had happened.

She urgently opened the website where she drew her art.

She was so shocked she jumped out of her chair, unable to help but curse.

"Holy crap, how much? One hundred thousand mi?"

She counted again, there was no decimal point.

It was indeed five zeros.

Her hand holding the mouse trembled slightly.

She had encountered a truly rich patron.

This was equivalent to how many months of salary.

And the other party just wanted to see a drawing.

They didn't make any specific requests.

Tuanzi sent Mu Yang a private message.

"Thank you for the reward, big shot. Are you sure it wasn't a slip of the hand?"

Mu Yang replied, "I really like your art style, keep it up."

Tuanzi was instantly thrilled.

Drawing what she liked.

Getting recognition from others and money.

"I guarantee the task will be completed!"

After that, she went to draw.

The system gave up.

It originally just wanted to see Mu Yang's embarrassment.

What happened?

This guy didn't react much at all.

He even started reading the comments section with great interest.

And in the end, he gave the author a hundred thousand meters???

Where did things go wrong?

"System, is this all you've got? Do you look down on me, this internet trendsetter?"

System: "Alright, alright!"

The system was provoked.

It released a lot of snake pictures of Mu Yang.

Some of them were indeed too explicit.

But Mu Yang didn't let the system have its way.

When he saw a good one, he saved it right in front of the system.

"Holy crap, worthy of being the soul of the Knights, no, Acting Grand Master Jean's butt. This author definitely has a side hustle."

"Donated a hundred thousand meters, [I admit, Acting Grand Master Jean's butt is amazing, but can you change it to my Lumine's?]."

"Click send."

System: ...

Mu Yang continued to donate and comment on various artists' homepages.

A friend of mine only has a week left to live. Before he dies, he wants to see Mu Yang and Lumine kiss.

"I am Mu Yang's friend, what he said is true."

The system was speechless: "You're investing all this popularity value just for this?"

Mu Yang stated that there's no reward without effort.

As it turned out, after a while, the news of a rich guy named Mu Yang showering various artists with gifts quickly spread through the community.

Soon after, it directly hit the trending searches on Weibo.

Comment section:

[Amber's Firestarter]:Is it too late to learn drawing now?

[Fandou Garden 308, Hello, I'm Zhuang Zhuang's Mom]:This rich guy is truly powerful, Mu Yang fans are so proud.

[Eternal Mu Gate]:Is this really how you ship a CP? Poverty limits my imagination.

[Teacher Da is really not good]:The rich guy shipped the CP, the artists received the money, we saw the snake pictures, a world where no one gets hurt is complete.

[Shen Gan Ning]:I don't understand the trending searches anymore. With this money, why not give it to me for Sanguosha.

[Where is true heart exchanged for true heart, it's all speed exchanged for sound]:Mua, you old geezers, believe it or not, I'll give you good reviews for Sanguosha.

Of course, where there are fans, there are haters.

The haters said:

Is miHoYo resorting to such methods for hype now?

Laughable, using players' money to hype up CPs like this.

If you've got nothing to do, you can go chew on a lighter.

Is Mu Yang the official's favorite son?

However, Mu Yang didn't pay attention to these.

It wasn't his first day online.

He just needed to boost his popularity.

Mu Yang put away the system panel.

Because the city of Mondstadt had started to become noisy.

The Knights of Favonius had mobilized many people.

They were catching a thief.

Someone had stolen the Lyre of Winds!
