"Ei, Venti, and Eula have secured the chance to answer."
[Xingqiu: What a shame, what a shame. I didn't get a spot.]
[Kamisato Ayato: Even the most careful plans have their flaws. I'll have to practice my speed next time.]
[Arataki Itto, eating a lollipop: Three spots, and I didn't get a single one! I really underestimated you guys.]
[Yae Miko: Someone special got a spot.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Will this be the first time all three get it right?]
[Ei: Which option should I pick?]
The Electro Archon's words stunned everyone. Zhongli choked on his tea, while Venti clutched his stomach with laughter.
Everyone else held it in. They did not dare laugh freely at the Shogun.
[Kamisato Ayaka: Didn't you read our analysis just now, Shogun?]
[Ei: I wasn't paying attention. I was reading what some people in the regular livestream room were saying.]
[Yae Miko: @Ei, choose 2, choose 2.]
[Kamisato Ayato: ...]
[Ganyu: Miko, you...]
"Venti and Eula have selected their answers."
[Ei: @Kujou Sara, what should I choose?]
[Kujou Sara: If you trust me, Shogun... choose 3.]
Yae Miko snickered to herself.
[Ei: @Yae Miko, you little rascal. The next time we meet, I'm going to slash you a few times. You're getting more devious by the day.]
[Yae Miko: It's not necessarily right, anyway.]
"Ei has selected her answer."
[Kamisato Ayato: It seems the Shogun has great faith in Kujou Sara.]
[Ei: She is loyal and righteous, highly skilled in martial arts, and worthy of being called a hero. In matters like these, she is naturally more reliable than that fried-tofu-loving rascal.]
The Shogun was not to be underestimated. She was very clever and knew Yae Miko enjoyed these tricks.
Kujou Sara, meanwhile, blushed so fiercely that she was practically steaming.
The Shogun had praised her to her face. She nearly turned into a Great Tengu and took flight.
"Venti selected 3. Correct answer. Reward: one Moonlit Drunkard's Flask." "Eula selected 3. Correct answer. Reward: Gardevoir as a companion." "Ei selected 3. Correct answer. Reward: Consumable Recovery Divine Liquid."
[Chongyun: Everyone answered correctly.]
[Yoimiya: That was amazing teamwork! This is the first time everyone's gotten it right, isn't it? And with three spots, too.]
[Kujou Sara: @Yoimiya, remember that you must not harbor illegal entrants!]
The Elite Livestream Room celebrated a sweeping victory, while the regular livestream room was a scene of misery, especially since the selection had been random this time.
Across Inazuma, Liyue, and Mondstadt, a massive spectacle of people claiming new fathers unfolded live.
Mao Cai Gong slid to his knees in front of the Millelith. "Dad!"
Countless Liyue onlookers burst out laughing.
Mao Cai Gong was in tears. Once he stood up and spotted another little girl passing by, he rushed over and slid to his knees again. "Dad!"
The spectators howled with laughter.
It was not over yet. Across from him, Changhu was sliding to his knees too.
Over in Inazuma, a Nobushi sprinted frantically along, but there was no one nearby!
After running down an entire road, he spotted a fox. The Nobushi slid to his knees before it. "Dad!"
Although it was supposedly random, many people noticed a pattern.
The selection seemed to favor those who habitually did evil or used their power to look down on others. Along Liyue's shopping street, more than a dozen people in luxurious clothes were busy claiming new fathers.
The head of the Kujou Clan slid to his knees before his subordinates and called them Dad five times.
Kujou Sara covered her face, speechless.
These people had lost every shred of dignity. After sliding to their knees five times, they wished they could crawl into a crack in the ground.
They were furious, utterly beside themselves.
Mao Cai Gong said, "Just you wait! I'll find a way to tear this livestream room down! This bullshit livestream room!"
"Mao Cai Gong, Changhu, and Zhou Guishen have been detected showing grave disrespect toward this livestream room. Reward: run twenty laps around Liyue Harbor." "Marvin, son of the Goethe Grand Hotel's owner, and Fatui envoys Mikhail and Anthony have shown grave disrespect toward this livestream room. Reward: run twenty laps around Mondstadt City."
Pfft-
These people were ready to cough up blood.
"No, please! I won't ever do it again!" Marvin, the son of the Goethe Grand Hotel's owner, was crying. With his frail body, he would be ready to throw up after just one lap.
The spectators in every city grinned from ear to ear.
"They deserve it."
"Watching them get punished is twice as satisfying. Hahaha!"
"Cheers! Let's watch Young Master Marvin run. Twenty laps!"
After just one lap, Young Master Marvin was breathless, his legs weak and his back and legs aching. He looked no better than a seventy-year-old man.
Plenty of Mondstadt residents leaned over the walls, holding beers bought at Angel's Share and the Cat's Tail Tavern. "Young Master Marvin, hurry up! Nineteen laps left. We're counting for you!"
"I'm skipping work today if that's what it takes to watch Young Master Marvin finish his laps!"
"Hahahaha!"
Marvin panted heavily. "You... you'll all pay for this!"
As soon as he said that, he lost his footing and nearly fell. The rocky ledge around the outside of Mondstadt City was only a few meters wide. One careless step could send him plunging into Cider Lake.
The more he talked like that, the happier the others became.
[Xingqiu: What nice things did you all get?]
[Yanfei: Share them with us. Let us get a little jealous.]
Venti displayed a small blue flask, only about the size of two fists. "I absolutely love this thing! The Moonlit Drunkard's Flask automatically produces a flask of fine wine every day. Wonderful!"
[Paimon, hands on her hips: You're the only one who'd like something like that.]
The camera switched to Eula. Two tents had been pitched in Windwail Highland, forming the reconnaissance company's temporary camp.
Eula stood on high ground as everyone looked toward her. Beside her stood a princess about 1.6 meters tall? A young girl?
No, a fairy-like humanoid creature.
