It was a sunny, breezy noon, and Kaeya was drinking at the Angel's Share.
Rosaria had only just escaped Barbara's pestering, Bennett had just gotten trapped in some ruins, and Kamisato Ayato picked up his milk tea.
Keqing and Ganyu were meeting Ningguang at the Jade Chamber.
Suddenly, a screen appeared in front of everyone.
[Ningguang: What happened? What is this?]
There were screens in front of Ganyu and Keqing, too.
Lisa, Jean, Xingqiu, Yae Miko... even Ei, who was inside the Plane of Euthymia, had a screen appear before her.
"The Teyvat livestream quiz is now open. Stories from the future or the past will be broadcast." "Answer livestream questions correctly to receive generous rewards: Mora, power, flight, travel between worlds, eternity..." "Ding—You are invited to join the Teyvat Elite Livestream Room."
The screens could neither be waved away nor destroyed with a blade.
In an instant, countless people were utterly dumbfounded.
Over a million people, including Tian Tie Zui, Cyrus, and Timmie, entered the regular livestream, and the chat exploded.
It was complete chaos. Everyone was asking questions.
"What happened?!"
"What's going on?"
The chat moved so quickly that messages disappeared in an instant. It was easy to imagine how many people were watching across several nations.
The Elite Livestream Room, however, was different.
"Arataki Itto has joined the livestream." [Arataki Itto: Haha, the Elite Livestream Room! Now this is where I belong. I'm an elite! Haha!] "Jean has joined the livestream." [Jean: What's going on? Could this be a plot by the Abyss Order?] [Diluc: I don't think so. This power is terrifying. A screen appeared in front of everyone in our tavern.] [Jean: You're here too, sir?] "Xingqiu has joined the livestream." [Xingqiu: A little leisure stolen from life's bustle. There aren't many people in the Elite Livestream Room. Not bad.] [Chongyun: The regular livestream made my scalp tingle. There must have been hundreds of thousands of people talking.] "Ningguang has joined the livestream." [Ningguang: Oh? Interesting. This thing has limitless commercial value.] [Keqing: I can't get rid of it, no matter what I do. It's interfering with my work.] "Lumine and Paimon have joined the livestream." [Lumine: Can answering questions really let us see the future? Can I find my brother?] [Paimon: This is amazing! What is this thing? Can Paimon get some Sweet Beggar's Chicken, too?] [Amber: Little Paimon, it's called Sweet Madame!] [Paimon: You're here too, Amber?] [Lisa: The power of this livestream is beyond our understanding of magic. How extraordinary.] [Mona: Even my astrology can't reveal a single thing about it.] [Arataki Itto: Haha, it's that powerful? Just what you'd expect from the world's number one-that's me!] [Kujou Sara: Arataki Itto, hand over your Vision without a fuss.] [Arataki Itto: Kujou Turtle, you think I'm scared of you? Come catch me!] [Kaeya: What's going on? You have to hand over your Visions?] [Thoma: My friend, you may not have heard.] [Diluc: The Vision Hunt Decree, right? Inazuma hasn't exactly been peaceful lately.] [Thoma: Our friend Diluc here knows all about it. Surely the Shogun isn't in the livestream too?] [Venti: Ehe, she just might be! @Zhongli, you're here too!] [Paimon: You tone-deaf bard, you sure know a lot of people!] [Zhongli: Generally speaking, the livestream's power is exceedingly formidable. Given the Raiden Shogun's distinguished standing, she has likely been invited as well.] [Xiangling: Mr. Zhongli, you still haven't paid for lunch!] [Zhongli: My apologies, I forgot. Please put it on the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's tab.] [Paimon: This Mr. Zhongli is just like the tone-deaf bard. Neither of them brings any money when they go out.] [Venti: Ehe!] [Bennett: Um, can I say something? Could someone come save me? I'm locked inside the Temple of the Thousand Winds again.] [Amber: How many times has it been now?] [Bennett: Nearly eighty, I think.]
Keqing: "..."
Xingqiu: "..."
Chongyun: "..."
[Razor: Don't, panic. I'll come, save you, right away.] [Hu Tao: @Bennett, what kind of luck do you have, my friend? Interested in learning about the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's services? Buy one coffin, get one free! Buy two, get three free! Music, singing, a full-service package-we guarantee satisfaction before and after death. Book in advance and enjoy twenty percent off!] [Arataki Itto: A deal that good exists? I love discounts! What does the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor do?] [Xingqiu: Funeral services!] [Chongyun: Funeral services!] [Keqing: Funeral services!] [Arataki Itto: Ah! Then I don't need it.] [Kujou Sara: No, you do. I can give you a bone-breaking deal!] [Barbara: You can... advertise that kind of business like this?] [Rosaria: In Mondstadt, people simply pray to Lord Barbatos!] [Barbara: It's Lord Barbatos! Miss Rosaria!]
At that moment, an image appeared on the screen.
