"Quick-answer submissions are now open again."
There were still five choices left. Apparently, none of them wanted to die of embarrassment; twenty seconds passed without anyone clicking.
"No one in the elite livestream has volunteered. Two participants will be randomly selected to answer." "Diluc and Kaeya, please enter your answers. Do not reveal your guesses in the livestream beforehand."
[Kaeya: Well... how am I this unlucky?]
[Diluc: Can I not be made to guess my own nickname?]
[Yun Jin: I can breathe a long sigh of relief now.]
[Barbara: Thank goodness I wasn't picked.]
[Fischl: All is chosen by fate, weaving cause and effect together.]
[Oz: Milady means, good luck to you both.]
Selection buttons appeared on the screens before them.
"Kaeya and Diluc have made their selections."
[Amber: What did you choose?]
[Kaeya: I chose 6, King of the Torch Hilichurls.]
[Lumine: Huh? Why?]
[Kaeya: Look at Master Diluc's attack moves. Don't they look just like a torch Hilichurl's attacks?]
[Paimon: Now that you mention it, they really do!]
[Amber: Kaeya, you're done for.]
[Lumine: Even Emergency Food didn't think of that. That's a guaranteed wrong answer.]
[Diluc: Kaeya, next time, I'll pass judgment on you!]
"Ding-Kaeya selected 6, King of the Torch Hilichurls. Incorrect. As punishment, Kaeya must travel to Time Island, east of Starsnatch Cliff, without taking a boat, swimming, or using a Wind Glider."
[Amber: That abandoned Time Island is at least two thousand meters from Starsnatch Cliff!]
[Xinyan: That far, and he can't take a boat or swim? How's he supposed to get there?]
[Beidou: I was just about to ask if he needed my ship's help.]
[Xingqiu: In novels, immortals can fly on swords, crossing seas through the sky.]
[Yoimiya: I've heard that Liyue has adepti. Are they really real? What do they look like?]
[Ganyu: Miss Yoimiya, I count as an adeptus too. And... the Conqueror of Demons is in this group as well, isn't he?]
[Klee: The Conqueror of Demons sounds so cool!]
[Amber: Yeah, yeah! Who is he?]
[Xiao: An adeptus's status is not a title to flaunt. Power is also a responsibility, one used to fulfill contracts and promises.]
[Arataki Itto: Let me see what an adeptus looks like! I thought you'd be huge! Can adepti really fly?]
[Xiao: Hmph. Such disrespect for the adepti. Those are mere trifling tricks.]
Kaeya appeared on everyone's screens.
A mysterious power had already transported him to the shore. He looked out at the sea. "This won't stop me!"
He pointed his weapon at the sea.
"Freeze!"
"Cool it!"
"How's this!"
Kaeya unleashed his cryo power, freezing the sea, then ran onto the ice. After resting for a few seconds, he released more cryo power, freezing a path across the water.
[Chongyun: A good method.]
[Kaedehara Kazuha: So you have a cryo Vision, sir. Crossing the sea by freezing it.]
[Xingqiu: In a martial arts novel, he'd be the Ice-Crossing Adeptus!]
[Amber: The Ice-Crossing Adeptus!]
[Lisa: The Ice-Crossing Adeptus!]
[Eula: The Ice-Crossing Adeptus!]
[Kaeya: How long is this going to take? It's exhausting! Why haven't they announced what Master Diluc chose yet? Let's see what punishment he gets!]
They really did love to torment each other.
"Ding-Diluc selected 4, Man of Justice. Correct."
[Amber: !!!]
[Yanfei: !!!]
[Xingqiu: What good luck, Master Diluc.]
[Diluc: @Kaeya, keep freezing your ice, Ice-Crossing Adeptus!]
[Kaeya: Damn you, Man of Justice!]
"Diluc has received a reward: ability-Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique."
Diluc was on his way to the Dawn Winery. Everyone watched as a crimson light enveloped his body before he absorbed it.
[Tartaglia: What kind of reward is this? An adeptal art?]
[Zhongli: In terms of universal rationality, adeptal arts are not so easily learned or used.]
[Gorou: Master Diluc, hurry and show us!]
[Amber: Master Diluc, let us see!]
Diluc stood rooted to the spot, new knowledge filling his mind. Curious himself, he said, "Allow me to find an open area to try it out."
Ningguang, Keqing, Yae Miko, Xiao, and even Raiden Ei were staring at their screens. Everyone was curious.
Diluc walked into an open area.
He took a deep breath and rapidly formed hand seals, as though years of practiced familiarity had been etched into his mind.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Diluc breathed out toward the space ahead, spewing an enormous fire dragon.
His Vision flashed, and two more fire dragons spread out alongside it.
They twisted and roared, hurtling toward the target Diluc had in mind.
Boom, boom, boom! The explosions were immensely powerful.
[Amber: That's... that's amazing!]
[Klee: It's even stronger than Klee's Jumpy Dumpty!]
[Arataki Itto: Damn it! I should've jumped in to answer!]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: This livestream is terrifying. Can it really give someone such a powerful move in an instant?]
[Sayu: Could we get medicine that makes us taller?]
[Ningguang: Interesting. These are all things Mora cannot buy.]
[Kujou Sara: If everyone gets moves like that, won't everything descend into chaos?]
"Notice: punishments will grow more severe as the number of punishments received increases. Likewise, as the number of correct answers increases, the probability of receiving better rewards will rise."
At a table for one at the Good Hunter, a figure tapped on a notebook.
"Miss Sara, another serving of Fisherman's Toast, please."
"Just a moment, dear customer."
[Diluc: After that light entered my mind, it was as though I'd studied this for years. Using it takes a little out of me, but people who exercise regularly, or those with Visions, should be able to use it multiple times. I haven't noticed any side effects so far. Not bad.]
[Amber: That's Master Diluc for you. I'm so jealous.]
[Tartaglia: I'm jumping in to answer next time.]
[Charles: Master Diluc, lots of people who owed money for drinks are coming in to settle their tabs now.]
