[Mission] [Character information confirmed!] [Reward: After your next super-serious loud shout, you are guaranteed to receive a random-element Vision. (The desire in your heart is too immense for the gods of this world to answer. Therefore, you need to shout it out loud so the gods will cast their gaze upon you... So, have you decided which element of Vision you want?)] [First backpack opening completed!] [Reward: Gain a one-time exclusive privilege to convert all the false data the original owner obtained in Genshin Impact into equivalent Mora in this world! (Everything is difficult at the beginning, except having money!)]

"Ding~"

Just as he finished reading the two missions that had appeared and been completed, the phone in his hand rang with the crisp clink of coins striking one another.

After exiting the mission screen, Wu Wanghai saw the backpack icon on his phone's home screen trembling slightly.

An animated icon was even harder to resist clicking than a little red notification dot!

Had the Mora arrived? How much was there?!

With eager anticipation, Wu Wanghai tapped into the backpack again and looked at the money section.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands... one, two, three, four, five...

The more Wu Wanghai counted the digits, the brighter his eyes became.

Oh, oh, oh!!! What an insanely awesome start! I have two billion Mora now, hahaha.

No, wait. Wu Wanghai's heart sank. That bastard ate my hundred thousand Primogems from Genshin Impact.

Where are my Primogems? Who did this? Hey, phone, get out here! What's going on?!!!

After waiting for ages without any new response from the phone, Wu Wanghai silently cursed his bad luck. He could only tell himself to treat it as spending a hundred thousand Primogems to transmigrate to Teyvat.

But if everything was converted into Mora, then if I had spent all my Resin farming Mora Ley Lines for two and a half years beforehand, wouldn't I be a billionaire ten times over now?

Back in the game, he had only had a little over eighty million Mora. By that calculation, all the remaining backpack items plus the vanished hundred thousand Primogems had only been exchanged for just under two billion Mora?

Thinking about it that way, Wu Wanghai suddenly realized he had gotten utterly ripped off! There had been so many weapon materials in there too! This was daylight robbery. It made him want to cough up blood.

Still, getting something was better than getting nothing. Starting out with this much Mora meant he would not need to worry about money, which was already great!

Wu Wanghai only agonized over it for a moment before deciding not to dwell on it. It had already happened. If all he got was Mora, then so be it.

Wait! Wu Wanghai suddenly realized that he did not have a single Mora on him right now. The first thing he should do was try taking some out. What if it was only virtual currency and could only be used to buy items that showed up in the phone's future shop? He needed to be able to spend it in this world.

There was no withdrawal button in sight, so Wu Wanghai tried thinking about taking out Mora. Sure enough, a glittering gold coin appeared in his hand.

It was 1 Mora!!

"Grrrrowl."

At that moment, Wu Wanghai heard his stomach protesting.

When all was said and done, he still had not eaten anything since arriving. Of course he was hungry. Time to eat!!!

Wu Wanghai habitually put away his phone and was about to slip it into his pocket when it suddenly vanished before he could. That made him pause in surprise.

When he stretched out his hand, the phone inexplicably appeared in it again.

Fine, so I can't carry it on me, huh! Wu Wanghai shrugged. That was fine too. At least it was convenient, and he would not have to worry about losing it.

As he searched for a restaurant, Wu Wanghai strolled around and took in the real-life version of the Court of Fontaine.

The real Court of Fontaine differed quite a bit from the game. The most noticeable difference was that it was much larger, with far more buildings.

After walking for a while, Wu Wanghai finally spotted somewhere he could grab a meal.

Worth mentioning was that, as he prepared to eat, Wu Wanghai realized that his clothes had somehow dried. Just fifteen minutes ago, they had been soaking wet from coming out of the water.

Maybe water evaporated faster in Fontaine?

Unable to figure it out for the moment, Wu Wanghai decided not to fuss over such a minor issue. Eating came first.

He casually spent tens of thousands of Mora on a small meal. It tasted pretty good.

After eating, Wu Wanghai came across a clothing shop while wandering around.

Looking at his short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and sandals that did not quite fit in, Wu Wanghai went inside and splurged again.

When he emerged, Wu Wanghai had undergone a complete transformation. He wore a black gentleman's top hat with a tuft of blue-and-white feathers on it.

Paired with black, gold-trimmed long boots and trousers, as well as a long-sleeved formal coat in deep blue with interwoven white stripes, there was nothing particularly elaborate about the outfit. He had simply picked the most expensive things and bought them.

This perfectly ordinary high-end outfit had only cost a few hundred thousand Mora. He was a nouveau riche with two billion Mora. This was pocket change.

Unfortunately, he did not really know how to design clothes, so he could only make do with ready-made garments.

When he had the chance later, he would properly think about designing a new outfit that suited his tastes.

In the end, Wu Wanghai stomped his feet. The new boots really were not that comfortable, and he was not used to them. He still preferred the comfort of sneakers, but it was unlikely he would ever get to wear them again...

With his stomach full and his new clothes on, Wu Wanghai felt it was time to consider claiming the Vision reward.

Taking out his phone, he saw that it said he would definitely receive a Vision as long as he made a wish and shouted loudly, though it would be a random type.

If he could choose, Wu Wanghai would quite like an Anemo one. How great would it be to become a carefree Anemo guy?

In Teyvat, everyone had a chance of obtaining a Vision. But in reality, perhaps not even one person in ten thousand possessed one.

The ways people obtained Visions varied, but most received them when facing the brink of life and death, when the yearning in their hearts reached its utmost limit.

So this cheat was pretty good too. At the very least, he would immediately have his own power in Teyvat.

It said earlier that he had to shout loudly, right? That did not matter.

But if he was going to shout, it would be best to do it somewhere high up.

After spending another half hour heading upward, Wu Wanghai took elevators whenever he found one. Whenever he got lost, he grabbed someone and asked for directions.

What was the highest place in the Court of Fontaine? Ask any Fontainian, and they would give the same answer: naturally, it was the Hydro Archon's residence and the Chief Justice's workplace, Palais Mermonia!

Thus, upon arriving outside Palais Mermonia, Wu Wanghai finally saw something he was most familiar with—something they saw every day. Right beside him stood the iconic Statue of The Seven, the Statue of The Seven of Hydro!

For Wu Wanghai, the statue was about the only thing that felt familiar. To be honest, he had barely explored Fontaine's map.

Time to slack off! Otherwise, he would not have been so confused and gotten lost right from the start.

Wu Wanghai raised his head and looked up.

Atop a pedestal over two meters tall stood a statue of a girl roughly three or four meters high.

The statue depicted a long-haired girl wearing a long-sleeved hooded dress. She held a long sword as tall as herself, and on its hilt was a round orb that most gods seemed to enjoy playing with.

That was right. Wu Wanghai knew it: the Anemo Archon held a ball, the Dendro Archon hugged a ball, the Geo Archon held a cube, and the Electro Archon carried a round mirror.

The Traveler could trigger resonance by touching a statue, so it was only natural that the world should open itself to me too.

There is greatness in my heart, Wu Wanghai silently recited. Then he spread his arms and gave the Statue of The Seven a huge hug.

World, open yourself to me!!!

One second, ten seconds...

Alright, alright, I give up. Waaah, I don't feel anything at all. Looks like I can only rely on the missions the phone gives me...

Our Traveler really was amazing. One touch, and the statue answered with resonance. They could even use every element. All one could say was, as expected of the Traveler!
