Since Mu Yang's appearances were quite infrequent, and he wasn't even an implemented character, there was almost no discussion about him in the strategy guides.

After all, normal players still needed to grind monsters

and didn't want to waste resources.

Therefore, the strategy guides hadn't reached the point of obsessing over potential characters.

Mu Yang browsed through more posts before going to sleep.

The next morning, right after Mu Yang finished breakfast, the system started chattering incessantly again.

"Quick, go watch your fan creations! Go watch your fan creations!"

Mu Yang tidied up his room first, then brewed a pot of tea, before slowly sitting down, preparing to see if the fan creations were wild enough.

However, was this speed a bit too fast?

"It's only been less than two days? And there are already fan creations to watch?"

System: "Don't underestimate the creative abilities of Earthlings!"

"Actually, it's mainly because I released the model downloads for them."

"No need for extra modeling, so it's naturally fast."

Mu Yang: "Are they the kind that can pass review?"

"If not, I wouldn't dare to watch."

System: "What are you thinking? Are videos the same as that small drawing website?"

The system opened its interface, linking to the parallel Earth's fan creation ratio.

It began publicly humiliating Mu Yang.

The first fan creation video.

What I Think About During Class

After a quirky voice read the title, the video started playing.

First Segment: (Source: Ultraman Tiga)

In the scene, a massive army of Hilichurls attacked the continent of Teyvat.

The army pressed forward, and humanity was defeated.

Only Mondstadt remained.

The Knights of Favonius deliberated, preparing to abandon the positions before the bridgehead.

and retreat into Mondstadt city.

At this moment, Mu Yang gazed at the Hilichurl army, his expression grave.

Lumine turned around and called to him, "Mu Yang!"

Acting Grand Master Jean and several Knights of Favonius also stopped upon hearing this.

Mu Yang stood with his back to everyone.

"I'm going... alone."

Lumine quickly refused, "No!"

The Knights of Favonius members didn't understand what they were talking about.

Acting Grand Master Jean told them to go ahead first, then slowly walked closer to Mu Yang.

"The first time I saw an Ultraman,"

"I thought I had encountered a god."

"I believed he could guide humanity onto the right path."

Mu Yang still didn't look back.

Acting Grand Master Jean continued speaking.

"But I was wrong. I only understood later."

"Ultraman is both light and human."

"Therefore, you have no obligation to face an enemy you simply cannot defeat."

"You should understand by now, right?!"

Mu Yang slowly turned around.

"Cannot defeat? I don't understand that."

Acting Grand Master Jean seemed to understand his resolve.

"Yes, from when did I also start to no longer believe in fate?"

"You must win, as a human."

Lumine couldn't believe her ears, "What?!"

Mu Yang nodded firmly towards Lumine.

Afterward, Lumine was dragged away by Acting Grand Master Jean.

"Mu Yang!"

Mu Yang shouted at Lumine.

"Lumine, saving them and bringing them back to the city is your job."

He then took out his Transformation Device.

Jean: "There's no problem. You must win, Ultraman Tiga!"

Mu Yang transformed into Tiga and beat up the Hilichurls.

[Look at what you've protected?]

[Holy crap, the uploader took down the surveillance, and you know what I'm thinking when I space out in class]

[So funny, you should at least change Mu Yang's clothes. Taking out a Transformation Device from ancient attire is really hard to swallow]

[Don't say it, Lao Mi's models are truly exquisite. Look at the facial details on Mu Yang, and Acting Grand Master Jean's butt, Acting Grand Master Jean's...]

[Kid, stop pretending. If you installed an eye-tracker, it would definitely be stuck on Jean and wouldn't move]

Second Segment: (Source: Kamen Rider)

After the screen went black, the second segment began.

This one was more normal.

First, it showed Mu Yang defending the bridge.

He froze the bridge surface.

He kicked a Cryo Hilichurl Chieftain flying in the air.

Afterward, he drew a dividing line with a sword energy slash.

This part was from the game's original footage.

The focus was on the following part.

Instead of drawing his sword and using 'Azure Dragon Emerging from Water' to plunge into the enemy ranks, Mu Yang summoned a red belt from his waist.

He transformed into Kuuga.

[Direct nuclear explosion kick]

[What have you protected?!]

[Kuuga: If Tiga doesn't protect, I won't protect either]

The scene reset.

This time it was an orange belt—Agito.

[Brother Mu, please turn off your high beams]

[Hilichurl: What is that thing, so blinding]

The third belt—Build.

"A hero cannot flee from battle."

[Awesome energy bottle kid]

[Can Mu Yang kick out those formulas?]

[He'll just kick out sword techniques]

Fourth belt?

Mu Yang roared on the spot.

Ohma's transformation effects were fully activated.

[This one is truly a heavyweight]

[Failed at starting a business, inherited the family business]

Fifth belt...

"Are you ready?"

"I've been ready for a long time."

After the battle ended.

"Allow me to personally send you on your way..."

"Then I'll be counting on you, Shotaro."

"The hand you should be holding onto is no longer mine..."

The video ended.

[OMG, an unexpected stab right in the feels!]

[The uploader is so new, putting a razor blade in the candy]

[I've reported it, everyone, did I do the right thing?]

[Fortunately, Mu Yang is a gacha character, I'm not worried at all that he'll be killed off]

[Having an official character art is really something]

[Why does it feel so right when Mu Yang uses the Blizzard Gauntlets in the video? Could it be that they're both Ice attribute...]

[Shut your crow's mouth, that's a great connection, don't think about it next time]

Mu Yang looked at the comments and bullet screen.

"System, look, they're quite optimistic."

System: "I don't care, as long as you have fun and earn popularity points."

The system then played a second fan-made video for him.

This video was mostly parody.

The video title was:

"Hilichurls, Times Have Changed!"

The video began on the familiar bridge in Mondstadt.

Knights of Favonius members were fighting Hilichurls on the bridge.

Mu Yang descended from the sky.

A hero's entrance.

First, the "no damage, with smoke" trope.

Nothing happened.

Then, he took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

He drew two revolvers and shot one Hilichurl with each.

After running out of bullets, he switched to a Gatling gun spewing blue fire.

"Dada-da-da-da-da—"

The Hilichurls suffered heavy casualties.

The Knights of Favonius behind him were dumbfounded.

Rosaria reacted the fastest.

She directly reached out her hands to Mu Yang.

Mu Yang pulled an RPG from his four-dimensional pocket and gave it to Rosaria.

A rocket blast blew away the Hilichurls.

Rosaria gave him a thumbs-up.

"This is much more useful than a Vision."

Mu Yang hadn't finished distributing the guns yet.

Barbara had already charged forward dual-wielding Chicago Typewriters.

"Aaaahhh—Forgiving you is Barbatos's business."

"My responsibility is to send you to meet him!"

"Dada-da-da-da—"

The video ended.

[You're supposed to make a fan creation, not kill me]

[My lord, times have changed]

[Studying medicine can't save Mondstadt]

[Isn't this also a kind of "Anemo God"?]

[The 'feng' in 'assault rifle' refers to 'feng' as in 'wind', right?]
