Genshin Impact: I Made the Entire Playerbase Cry

Chapter 369 - 367: The Lightless Underground World, Kaeya Stars, Is This a Script or a Spoiler?

"Pfft—" Hearing the words 'mastermind behind the scenes.'

Guinaifen couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"They all said not to get too close to Cyno. It's completely over now."

[Not funny?]

[I think it's hilarious right now.]

[My sense of humor has been fully trained.]

Guinaifen also said, "In the past, I would never laugh at this kind of punny cold joke."

"I would only think it was ridiculous. Now when I hear it, my brain automatically plays Cyno's line 'Not funny?' and I can't help it…"

[Feeling the same way.]

[Me too!]

[Will there be a day when the people of Sumeru forget the Grand Sage of the Akademiya's real job and only remember a card-playing guy who loves telling cold jokes…]

[It's already like that now.]

For the most perfect performance, Zosimos could only resort to this last resort.

He first went to ask Idyia, then came to ask Lumine.

Since things had already been said to this point, Lumine was naturally very happy to help.

It was just that Zosimos wasn't very familiar with Lumine.

If they were close friends, there would be no need to beat around the bush at all.

As long as he treated her sincerely, Lumine would definitely help out.

This was Teyvat's most helpful adventurer.

The worried expression on Zosimos's face turned to joy.

"I'm so grateful. Then I'll go notify the others right now. Once you're ready, we'll start the performance immediately!"

Lumine entered the pre-rendered image. Before long, everyone had arrived.

The performance officially began.

The narrator's voice sounded.

'A very, very long time ago, there was a great thief who lived in a kingdom without light. The people suffered because of the darkness…'

[Underground kingdom Khaenri'ah, right?]

[?! Another person who's read the Teyvat script?]

[Can it really be written this coincidentally?]

[miHoYo's special kind of hinting.]

Zosimos: "Wait, Mr. Kaeya, you need to face the microphone directly, otherwise the sound will be off…"

[hhhh Teacher Sun Ye says, what play within a play?]

Kaeya adjusted his position and began to get into character.

"The world calls me the Short Blade Thief, yet they don't know my righteous act of robbing the rich to help the poor."

"Sigh, in this lightless place, those who act in the shadows grow more and more unscrupulous, while those who have no choice but to grope forward become increasingly miserable."

Narrator: 'Just as the great thief was troubled, a sudden change occurred in the world. A meteor streaked across the horizon…'

When Lumine heard the keyword 'meteor,' she immediately stepped on the meteor mechanism in the pre-rendered image.

[This cute performance.]

[Too funny. We can only watch the pre-rendered image, right? Lazy dog miHoYo.]

[No, the player controlling the character to control the meteor — isn't this hint obvious enough?]

[The arrival of the twins.]

The effect outside the stage was significant.

The great thief also saw this light. "Wonderful. Although it was only for an instant, that radiance illuminated the heavens and earth…"

"If I can find that light, I will be able to illuminate the darkness, and then the people will no longer suffer from being blinded by shadow."

Narrator: 'The great thief immediately followed the meteor's trajectory. That star continued forward… continued forward…'

Lumine didn't expect there to be a compound mechanism inside.

Luckily her reaction was fast, otherwise the star would have stayed suspended in mid-air.

The great thief chased and chased, until he reached a dangerous desert.

The desert before him had many terrifying legends circulating about it.

And where the meteor fell, the terrain had changed, with jagged rocks everywhere.

The road ahead was perilous.

Fortunately, the great thief had already made up his mind.

"—Since I've already chased it to this point, there's no reason to retreat."

The great thief went through many hardships and walked into the depths of the desert.

But what appeared in the desert was not the meteor, but a girl dressed in white.

The great thief was somewhat doubtful. He had clearly followed the trail of the falling star to this place, so why hadn't he found that radiance?

"Girl over there, do you know where the dazzling light went?"

[Is this Idyia making a guest appearance?]

[Could she be playing the princess?]

The girl said, "Traveler from afar, the light you seek is merely fire in a bottle. But at this moment, the spark has already been extinguished, and the light has departed."

[Passing on the fire? ( )]

The great thief didn't understand. What was fire in a bottle?

So the girl began to tell the great thief the origin of the bottle…

The plot gradually entered its climax. Mu Yang sent a voice transmission to Lumine, telling her to change the scene.

The narrator continued to tell the story.

The girl originally lived in a kingdom above a waterfall.

Until the dynasty was destroyed and the regime changed, she and her clansmen scattered and fled.

In the lost forest, thick fog filled the air, and there were also overgrown thorns trying to block her.

Mu Yang's voice entered Lumine's mind once again.

"There's a mechanism under the thorns. Just press it lightly."

Lumine did as instructed, and the girl crossed the first obstacle.

Unfortunately, what lay before her was a forest dense with thorns.

"If I can find a lamp, I will be able to cross the forest, and then I can… survive…"

The thought of 'surviving' supported the girl.

Even though her arms and the soles of her feet were covered with fine wounds, she endured the pain and slowly advanced.

The dusk earth was dangerous, but fortunately he had made up his mind.

"—Since I've already come to this point, there's no reason to retreat." Yes.

Lumine followed Mu Yang's voice transmission prompt again and activated the mechanism.

After going through countless hardships, the girl finally approached her destination.

But at this moment, a huge thorn suddenly blocked her path.

A heavy feeling of despair surged into the girl's heart.

She prayed to everything in the world, "If someone can help me here, I am willing to pay any price in return."

The girl's wish was finally heard by someone.

Lumine frantically searched the board but found no mechanism.

The director outside the stage was also anxious.

By the time he checked the last piece, the actors had already come over.

This was the mentality of getting lucky…

[If nothing goes wrong, something will go wrong at this time.]

[It's just the last piece, take a look bro.]

[Here's your chance and you're not making use of it!]

Mu Yang originally planned to draw his sword and make a move, but Klee had already thrown out her bomb.

"Klee is here to help! Honorary Knight Sister, catch it!"

The narrator coughed lightly twice. "Cough cough… The girl's sincere wish was heard, and a passing bouncing bomb opened a path for her…"

[Everything can be blown up!]

[Bouncing bomb! Nice!]

[So this is how it was solved?]

[It feels like watching from an outside perspective. Stop looking at the pre-rendered image.]

The girl was very grateful. "Thank you, bouncing bomb!"

[Damn, I didn't laugh earlier, but I can't hold it in here.]

[Too abstract. "Thank you, bouncing bomb."]

[This event is way too fun hahaha.]

[Fun.]

With the help of the bouncing bomb, the girl was able to head into the depths of the dense forest.

However, there was no so-called bright lamp there.

There was only a waiting fiery-red witch…

The narrator suddenly began to explain the setting.

"Actually, in the original script, it was this fiery-red witch who burned away the thorns."

Paimon stomped her foot. "Save that kind of line for after it's over!"
