"The donuts at this restaurant are really good. I like them a lot."
At noon, the group of five arrived at a restaurant.
Why five people? Because Youyu had wheedled and pleaded until Lin Yiyi agreed to let her come along with them.
So Youyu and her manager joined Lin Yiyi's group for lunch and said they would cover the meal.
The group sat in a mala tang restaurant and stuffed themselves silly.
"Do you have anything planned for this afternoon?"
Ei took a bite of meat and asked Lin Yiyi.
This surprised Youyu a little, and she asked, "Are you their guardian?"
"They look like they're older than you."
Lin Yiyi said, "Six."
"Ah, six years older?"
"..."
Lin Yiyi casually made up an excuse. "I'm their friend. They came all this way to visit me, so as their host, of course I have to treat them well."
Youyu was not the suspicious sort and did not think much of it. "Then you have to treat me well too!"
Lin Yiyi looked at Ei before saying, "How about we take some proper cosplay photos this afternoon?"
"Since the two of you look so accurate already, it wouldn't hurt to take some pictures as a memento."
Ei and Yae Miko looked at each other, then said they had no objections.
"Me too, me too!"
Lin Yiyi looked at the dazed-looking Youyu and asked, "Who are you cosplaying?"
"M-Me, I can cosplay Kamisato Ayaka and Sangonomiya Kokomi!"
At the mention of the latter name, Yae Miko's expression visibly shifted slightly.
She and Kokomi had different beliefs and cultures, so they did not get along, though it was not as though they had some irreconcilable blood feud.
Lin Yiyi saw through Yae Miko's thoughts and said,
"Then cosplay Kamisato Ayaka."
Youyu nodded repeatedly, and the group went back to eating.
After returning to the hotel, Youyu began preparing her makeup, styling, and wig.
She was an artist under Tangyuan Culture, which provided her with costumes and wigs, and even had dedicated makeup artists for her.
But today, she had only come with one manager, so she had to do her own makeup and styling.
Since it was still early, Lin Yiyi told the two of them to change into their own clothes.
Then he returned to his room, pulled out his phone, and prepared to spend a little money to pull for Chiori's signature weapon.
Counting on his fingers, Lin Yiyi used the Lesser Six Ren for his so-called divination. Other masters had their own methods, and whether they were real or fake depended entirely on one's own judgment.
"Great Peace?" Lin Yiyi frowned. Although it was said that Taoists should not divine their own futures, that only meant they could not calculate matters that would affect destiny. Small things like this could be freely divined, so long as it was not done too often.
Lin Yiyi had complete faith in his prediction. His talent was monstrously exceptional, and he worked extremely hard. With the conviction that he could not possibly be wrong, he opened the weapon banner.
The last time he pulled, Kamisato Ayaka had stopped him after he got one Uraku Misugiri.
Now that his wallet was flush again, he could naturally top up a 648 yuan pack to test the waters.
The first ten-pull immediately flashed gold!
Lin Yiyi had an intense feeling he could not quite describe, like his luck had exploded through the roof.
The first pull was a Black Tassel, and the second was Debate Club.
Then the third pull was a golden one-handed sword.
It came out! Uraku Misugiri!
Just as Lin Yiyi was about to skip, a powerful urge rose in his heart and made him continue clicking.
The fourth pull was a Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers.
On the fifth pull, the corners of Lin Yiyi's mouth rose.
Another Uraku Misugiri! That made it two golds!
There were still five pulls left, but Lin Yiyi still decided to click through them one at a time.
The sixth pull was a Dragon's Bane, and the seventh was a Slingshot.
The eighth pull surprised Lin Yiyi slightly.
Looking at the same golden one-handed sword, Lin Yiyi could not help secretly rejoicing.
A third Uraku Misugiri!
The ninth pull completely stunned Lin Yiyi.
What appeared before his eyes was exactly the same as the weapon from the eighth pull...
Another Uraku Misugiri!
Four golds in one ten-pull! Extremely rare!!!
How much luck would it take to make that happen? He had gotten it just by clicking a few times.
"Perhaps all the good deeds I've done in my life finally made Mihoyo grow a conscience?"
Lin Yiyi snickered. This was his first-ever four-gold pull since he started playing. As for the previous time? That had been five golds.
The final pull gave him a Ningguang.
Delighted, Lin Yiyi took a screenshot. After refining the Uraku Misugiri, he logged off.
See? It came out with just a few clicks—
"Little one, are we going to get that guest now?"
The moment he entered room 1313, Lin Yiyi heard Yae Miko's voice. She was sitting on the bed watching television without even turning around.
Lin Yiyi replied, "We can just wait for them downstairs."
"More importantly, why don't you two change back into your clothes first?"
Yae Miko then walked into the bathroom, while Ei beside her merely let violet lightning flicker around her body before changing back into her Sacred Rite of the Narukami Sovereign outfit.
Lin Yiyi clicked his tongue repeatedly. It would be great if he had such a fast way to change outfits too.
In less than ten seconds, Yae Miko emerged in her own Miko's Edict outfit, casually tossing her shirt-and-pants set onto the bed. The three of them then took the elevator downstairs.
By afternoon, even more people had arrived at the hotel. They all had the same idea: arrive early and finish early.
Because of that, even more people came over to collect photos, take pictures, get signatures, and so on.
Lin Yiyi was directly squeezed out by those fanatical Genshin Impact players.
"Such an accurate Narukami! I'm gonna kiss kiss kiss kiss—"
"Narukami, hurry up and kiss!"
"Raiden Shogun, I'm your dog!"
"Yae Miko, don't turn around. I'm the Traveler!"
The expressions on Ei and Yae Miko's faces became extraordinarily vivid as they listened to remarks like those.
Only when Youyu appeared did the crowd gradually disperse.
"Look, it's Youyu!"
"Wow, Youyu came so early!!"
"I'm Kamisato Ayaka's dog!!!"
"That's all? I'm Youyu's dog!!!!"
Lin Yiyi said, "Six."
The young man rose slightly onto his toes and spotted Youyu, who was about the same height as Kamisato Ayaka.
It was early spring, and the weather was getting warmer, so Youyu was not wearing the Springbloom Missive outfit. She had gone with Kamisato Ayaka's default skin instead.
"Hello, everyone! Hello! Hello!"
Youyu looked even more airheaded than Ei, doing nothing but greeting people over and over.
Then, under her manager's protection, the two of them finally met up with Lin Yiyi's group.
"Wow, so you all know each other??"
"Who are these two Narukami cosplayers? I've never heard of them at all?"
"Yeah, yeah! Ei's icy solemnity and that adorably spacey feeling have both been perfectly recreated! Hey, hey, hey, she looked at me!"
"That murderous glare is so accurate!"
Today was not a convention, so anyone in cosplay naturally drew attention from the others present.
As a result, before the group could even go out to take proper photos, they were completely surrounded by passersby.
Lin Yiyi simply stopped caring and sat off to the side, playing on his phone.
Genshin Impact was so fun, hehe.
