Liyue.
Mu Qingge bought a pancake on the street, leaned against a wall, and quietly ate it.
She hadn't felt anything before, but now that she had recovered, she realized she was dead tired, with two dark circles under her eyes.
Earlier, Mu Qingge had been researching information, specifically the necessary steps during the Rite of Parting, fearing any mistakes.
After all, the Rite of Parting was not her responsibility, and she had never known about it.
Although she knew she would be with Lumine and the others, and Zhongli would be there, so she could ask Zhongli if any problems arose.
However, one must do things thoroughly. Since Mu Qingge had initially decided to complete the entire Rite of Parting by herself, she had to know this information.

Player World.
After meeting Zhongli, Guojia was immediately captivated by this knowledgeable, steady, and mature young man, making an instant judgment.
"Family, this guy is definitely not simple. He looks noble and speaks with an old-fashioned tone. He's definitely a big shot!"
"You ask me how I can tell? Does that even need asking? He's wearing a profound black robe! Everyone knows what these two colors represent in ancient times, and look at that demeanor!"
: "Immortal?"
: "I think it's the Qixing."
: "Ahem, didn't he say he was a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
"Based on my many years of gaming experience, this person is definitely more than just a Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant. He should have another identity!"
: "Nonsense..."
As the plot slowly progressed, after receiving the reimbursement from Childe, Lumine, Paimon, and Zhongli came to the street.
In the fleeting glimpse of the screen, sharp-eyed players noticed a familiar figure leaning against a wall.
: "By the wall, look by the wall!"
: "Is that Mu Wife? It must be!"
: "Streamer, after the dialogue, run over and check. Mu Qingge seems to be over there!"
Guojia also noticed Mu Qingge's figure. Just as she was about to wait for the dialogue to end before going over, Paimon was even faster than her!
"Paimon, stop! Let me!"

Teyvat Continent.
"Oh, Qingge, why are you here?"
Mu Qingge, somewhat groggy from her brief rest, suddenly heard a familiar voice. Following the sound, she saw Paimon floating towards her.
"Traveler, Paimon, you're back, and this is... Mr. Zhongli?"
Lumine, seeing Mu Qingge's deep dark circles, asked worriedly, "You... didn't sleep all day yesterday?"
Mu Qingge rubbed her brow, "Sorry to let you see me like this. It's fine, I'll recover my spirits soon."
"Though there are many tasks, do not forget to rest. Such behavior will cause great harm to the body."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhongli. This time was truly unavoidable; normally, I am careful."
After thanking Zhongli, Mu Qingge looked at Lumine and Paimon:
"Since you are all here, then as per our agreement, the Reward I promised shall be presented."
Lumine and Paimon quickly waved their hands. Although it had been agreed upon beforehand, there was no need to rush. They were all friends, and these Rewards didn't really matter.
Mu Qingge took out a small box from her Vision space.
"Actually, I haven't been working for long and don't have much money. But Ruola told me that Lumine, you really like this thing. I collected it before because I thought it was pretty. I wonder if this can be used as a Reward."
"This is..."
Lumine's eyes widened suddenly. She smelled a familiar aura!
In Guojia's live stream, a box suddenly appeared on the interface, a treasure chest shimmering with red and blue colors, looking incredibly magnificent!
Guojia and her viewers in the live stream couldn't help but hold their breath.
This color, this color!
Opened Treasure Chest: Primogem * 3200!
"Holy crap!!!"
Guojia couldn't help but swear. 3200 Primogems, that's twenty pulls!
During the time before the version update, to pull for characters and weapons, they had traversed mountains and rivers for just a few Primogems!
Now, having just arrived in Liyue and done so few quests, she actually got 3200 Primogems!
The viewers in the live stream were even more agitated, and the bullet comments exploded instantly.
: "???!!!"
: "How much?!"
: "Oh my god, log in, log in, log in!!!"
: "She gave me twenty pulls, she cares about me!"
: "When did MHY become so generous? Someone wake me up, I must be dreaming!"
: "Mu Wife's action reminds me of the little angel Ruola. She gave us 5-star weapons, Mu Wife gave us twenty pulls. We Genshin Impact players are eating too well, aren't we!"
: "Don't even mention it, upstairs. Ruola and Mu Qingge are still good friends. Wow, I love this kind of setting!"
: "..."
Leaving aside the frenzy in the live stream for now.

Liyue, on the street.
Lumine hugged the box tightly, holding it so close, afraid it would disappear if she didn't hold it steady.
It was clear that she really liked this as a Reward.
Lumine was so excited now. She had been dormant for five hundred years, and her strength was far from what it used to be. These things could just help her recover her strength, which was too important to her! (Does gacha also count as increasing strength? Probably...)
"Qingge, is there something you need here?"
Seeing that Lumine seemed to be immersed in joy for a while, Zhongli first asked Mu Qingge.
The address "Qingge" was requested by Mu Qingge herself earlier, and Zhongli thought it appropriate, so he used it.
"This..."
Mu Qingge hesitated for a moment, looked at the three people in front, and then, as if having made up her mind, said:
"The Geo Archon has passed away. Ningguang and the others have many reservations. I don't understand, nor am I willing to compromise. To me, the Archon's passing is the biggest event in Liyue. He was like a kind father, and now that he's gone, it's hard to accept..."
Mu Qingge's mood was low, but she quickly recovered:
"Now, the most urgent task is to properly handle the Rite of Parting. This is a Liyue tradition; traditions cannot be forgotten. They have concerns, but I do not. I am here to handle the Rite of Parting."
"It's just a pity that for now, I am the only one, but even if it's just me, the ceremony should proceed smoothly."
Zhongli listened quietly, his arms crossed, nodding continuously, and even a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Kaiyangxing is thoughtful. I believe the Archon, knowing this, would also be pleased by your actions." (xing = star )
Zhongli was very happy that someone among the Qixing still remembered this tradition, and it was the Kaiyangxing, whom he had personally promoted. Excellent!
Paimon waved her small hands, "Qingge, are you also holding the Rite of Parting for the Geo Archon? We are too! Let's do it together!"
"Eh... you too..."
Lumine put away the treasure chest, walked over, and patted Mu Qingge's shoulder:
"Mm-hmm, let's do it together!"
Mu Qingge smiled, and much of the fatigue on her face dissipated: "Okay!"
