The next morning, very early.

Mu Yang slipped out of the city ahead of time.

Using his Qinggong movement technique.

No one knew he had already left the city.

System: "Host, you're too proactive! Going to meet the Traveler this early!"

System: "I didn't expect to encounter such a responsible host, I'm so touched. What more could a system ask for?"

Chirping away early in the morning.

Mu Yang was incredibly annoyed by the guy.

"Snow Leopard, shut up!"

Mu Yang got up early.

It was indeed related to Ying.

To make Ying and the players believe he was truly here to slay dragons.

He wanted to make them notice his presence wandering outside the city.

This way, as the plot progressed later.

Combined with Mu Yang's timely entrance.

They would infer Mu Yang's actions based on the existing information.

After that, Mu Yang wouldn't need to prove anything.

People only believe what they see with their own eyes.

Mu Yang used Qinggong to fly to the top of a large tree near Starfall Lake.

He began waiting for Ying's arrival.

You ask why Ying and not Aether?

You'll have to ask the system about that.

In any case, the world Mu Yang was in was Ying's.

She had woken up two months ago.

System: "I forgot to ask before, when do you plan to enter the gacha pool?"

Mu Yang: "See? Impatient again."

"Don't say the background isn't ready yet. Even if it were, we can't just roll it out so quickly."

"Only after spending time together, after emotions have developed, will the 'killing' be profound. Do you understand or not?"

System: "Fine, you call the shots."

Earth.

It was 7 AM.

Guinaifen's earliest stream of her career.

After eating breakfast, she opened her stream.

[Xiao Guizi, morning]

[OMG, Master actually woke up]

[This is the charm of Genshin Impact, thank you Genshin Gate]

[Isn't it Mu Gate?]

[Mu Gate]

"Mu Gate is here, everyone? But the game shouldn't be released so soon, right?"

Guinaifen interacted with the comments.

[Heard they might release it early, I'm already waiting at the entrance]

[Get real, miHoYo releasing early? Do you understand miHoYo better than me?]

[You understand jack shit!]

[If they release early, I'll become a Governor, you in?]

[If you're in, I'm in, mandatory PK]

Guinaifen just smiled. She was just a small game streamer now.

Let alone a Governor, she hadn't even seen a Grand Admiral.

She just took the comments with a grain of salt.

She had received big gifts when she did crazy stunts in the past.

Like breaking stones on her chest, eating ramen upside down, or biting lighters.

Her account was banned later, her lighter was gone, and over 700 yuan was deducted.

She drifted to Bilibili to become a game streamer.

She could only rely on her looks and figure to make a living now.

The child was starving.

The end of an era of extreme content.

The glorious summer that would never return.

It was truly moving.

She clicked on the Genshin Impact login screen.

The gate hadn't opened yet.

Just as she was thinking about what to stream before Genshin Impact's official launch, her phone suddenly buzzed with notifications.

It was from Sushang.

"Xiao Guizi, Genshin Impact opened early, hurry hurry, grab a front-row UID!"

She sent multiple messages in a row.

Guinaifen came to her senses. She directly clicked on the game and entered through that gate.

After a flash of white light.

Genshin Impact! Activate!

[It actually opened????]

[Holy crap, Mihoyo, it really opened early]

[Are they afraid of servers crashing if everyone waits until 10 o'clock?]

[Isn't this a backstab? I was waiting to grab a front-row UID to sell accounts]

[Stop trying to rip people off]

['I'm Invincible灬: If it opens early, I'll buy Governor, you in?']

['I'm Invincible灬: If it opens early, I'll buy Governor, you in?']

['I'm Invincible灬: If it opens early, I'll buy Governor, you in?']

Guinaifen chuckled.

"Haha, family, how about you get a Governor too?"

After loading.

She entered the game screen.

Two shooting stars were drawn on the beach.

Little Paimon's squeaky voice came through.

"So, you've drifted here from outside the world...?"

Then, an animated cutscene began.

A white-haired woman appeared.

"Outsiders, your journey ends here."

[Kiana, why is it you?]

[Herrscher of the Void]

[Isn't this our Herrscher of the Void? Don't forget to pay her appearance fee]

[Fugu Sirin (Confirmed)]

[Wow, foot binding, I'm drooling]

[(Sweating profusely) What's going on upstairs? Drool is dripping on my head]

After a battle.

'Choose one from the twins'

Guinaifen chose Ying without hesitation.

"My sister is so cute, how could I not choose her?"

The live stream's voice broadcast sounded.

'Thank you Mu Yang for purchasing Governor'

'Thank you Mu Yang for sending a highlighted message'

"You have good taste, I like 'sister' too."

Guinaifen didn't react for a moment.

You can get a Governor just by picking a 'sister'?

She said excitedly.

"Thank you, boss! I wish you good health, all the best, and eternal life!"

"Thank you, thank you."

[Holy crap, there's actually a Governor.]

[The boss is so confused.]

[The old man's making bank!]

[Friend, I'm jealous of your ID.]

[Okay, okay, okay, you're buying a Governor for my wife with my husband's ID. Am I part of your little play?]

[Rich guy, show us your strength with a vivo50. I'm really hungry.]

[Where's Daddy Proud? Show us your strength for our little Guinaifen too.]

Teyvat world.

Mu Yang leaned against a tree, watching the livestream.

He was the one who bought the Governor.

Not just Guinaifen's livestream.

He had also browsed the livestreams of Silver Wolf, Sparkle, and others that he saw yesterday.

This was also part of the promotion.

To increase their popularity.

When he revealed his face later, he would gain more popularity points.

This investment in popularity points was necessary.

With the system, it was all just a drop in the bucket.

Ying was on the beach.

She was telling Paimon a story.

"And that's how the unfamiliar god took my brother away."

"I was also sealed by a god and lost my original power."

"We, who once traversed many worlds, are trapped here..."

The story she just told was drawn on the ground with a branch.

Not bad, it was a bit abstract.

"How many years ago did that happen? I don't know..."

"But I will find a way to find out."

"After I woke up, I was always wandering alone, until two months ago, when I met you..."

Paimon responded with a smile.

"Mhm, it's thanks to you back then, otherwise I probably would have drowned..."

[Cherish the yellow-haired guy who can still talk.]

[You can drown while flying in the sky? Amazing.]

[Haha, emergency food.]

[Paimon is too much of a 'jia', little 'jia' Paimon.]

Guinaifen saw this and also put on a coy tone.

"The streamer just turned eighteen~"

"Can you tell me, what is a 'jia'~?"

[I'm gonna smack your monkey, I'm getting goosebumps.]

[Give me 'jia', give me 'jia'! I like this 'jia' vibe, anything else makes me cough.]

[Thanks, I'm playing this out loud on the subway, I'm already dead from embarrassment.]

[You're already watching Little Guinaifen on the subway, and you're afraid of embarrassment?]

After Paimon finished speaking.

She started leading Ying towards Starfall Lake.

Ying walked up to a hillside.

From afar, she looked at the Seven Statues of the Seven at Starfall Lake.

Paimon was about to introduce them.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure zipped past Ying.

He was incredibly fast.

He even kicked up a gust of wind as he passed near Ying.

Ying quickly shielded her eyes.

Once the wind died down, she looked in the direction the figure had flown.

He hadn't gone far, stopping on a mountainside not too far away.

The person wore black clothes and had white hair.

He held a green sword in his hand.

He was examining some tracks on a tree trunk.

Ying knew that this was how hunters typically tracked their prey.

Was that person chasing some kind of prey?
