The Real World.
Because the time spans were different, only a few quest-story hours had passed for the players since they prepared for the Rite of Parting with Mu Qingge.
For example, for Guojia, only about half an hour had passed in between.
Both Guojia and everyone in the live stream expressed great regret over Mu Qingge's departure.
A Liyue female general! Just this point alone resonated with countless players' preferences, not to mention how excellent her model was!
After their brief interaction, Guojia felt she had fallen deeply in love with the character Mu Qingge!
As for Ruola…
Who said you couldn't like both?
At the same time, as a standard appearance-obsessed person, Guojia was also very interested in Zhongli and Childe.
Especially Zhongli, that incredibly beautiful face paired with his old-fashioned way of handling things created a strangely contrasting appeal!
Guojia's game progress wasn't slow.
After Zhongli treated them that time, Ganyu, who was known as the Secretary of the Qixing, found the Traveler and Paimon, inviting the two on behalf of Ningguang to the Jade Chamber for a continuation.
However, she forgot to tell Lumine and Paimon how to get to the Jade Chamber.
While searching for a way, Lumine and Paimon encountered another of the Liyue Qixing — Keqing, the Yuheng.
Keqing's cat ears and black stockings also greatly impressed a wave of players.
After learning how to get to the Jade Chamber, Lumine and Paimon met Ningguang, and they talked a lot, changing their previous stereotypical views of Ningguang.
Afterward, the two, as agreed, performed the final part of the Rite of Parting with Zhongli, and upon returning to Liyue, they learned that the Adepti had arrived at Liyue Harbor and were confronting the Qixing.
Lumine and Paimon also headed to the Golden House at this time.
"Ugh ah~"
Guojia stretched.
"The story is very coherent, the graphics are very clear, the operation is very smooth. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a good and conscientious game."
Guojia was playing very comfortably.
The audience in the live stream echoed her sentiments.
After watching Guojia play for so long, these viewers not only didn't leave but actually increased in number.

Teyvat, Golden House.
Upon arriving at the Golden House, Paimon's eyes were shining:
"Ah— is this the Golden House?"
"It looked grand from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be even more luxurious inside! And… and there's Mora everywhere!!!"
"Since all of Teyvat's Mora is made here, then… wouldn't it be hard to notice if there's a little more or a little less?"
Lumine couldn't help but rub her forehead, looking at Paimon's little money-grubbing look:
"Don't reach out; if you reach out, you'll get caught. If it were really that simple, it would have been chaos long ago."
Paimon covered her small mouth in surprise: "Eh? So it's a bait trap. Luckily you reminded me."
"But if I can't take it, I can at least look, right…?"
Little Paimon imagined herself possessing so much Mora.
"Paimon, don't we still have a lot of Mora?"
Although they had been spending lavishly these past few days, they had received one hundred million Mora from Ruola, and they hadn't spent much of it yet.
"Hehehe, no one would complain about having too much Mora, right~"
"Let's first confirm the situation of the Exuvia."
Lumine brought the conversation back to their purpose for coming, and Paimon also reacted.
"Speaking of which, why are there no guards protecting such an important place? This is too abnormal."
Lumine keenly noticed the Millelith lying collapsed nearby.
Clearly, it wasn't that there were no guards, but that the guards had all been dealt with by someone.
Soon, Childe's voice came: "As the 'guide,' your mission is clearly complete. Why do you insist on looking for trouble?"
---
Player perspective.
When this voice appeared, countless players knew that something big was about to happen!
Guojia slapped the table hard: "I knew it, the Fatui are all bad people, and sure enough, Childe is the same!"
: "Holy crap, streamer, you scared the hell out of me!"
: "666, it's still that streamer. Newcomers, have you seen? The streamer isn't the 'sweet girl' you think she is~"
: "To be honest, I quite like Childe, even now knowing he's not a good person. I just hope the two sides don't get too hostile."
: "..."
---
Inside the Golden House, Lumine and Tartaglia's confrontation continued.
"If you were Fatui, perhaps you would receive a generous reward from the Tsaritsa, but unfortunately, now, you are merely worthless obstacles."
After a verbal sparring, Tartaglia said: "Next, we can enjoy something simple and joyful… and that is combat."
Paimon exclaimed in surprise: "Combat? Are you the type who likes to pick fights?"
"Hahaha, you could say that."
"In Mondstadt, Signora left in a hurry after offending the Archon outside the Cathedral. She preferred to seal everyone's movements with a blizzard rather than fight you on the spot, to avoid the commotion of battle attracting the Knights."
"When facing a strong opponent, she only prioritizes interests, considers victory or defeat, and considers the impact of her actions…"
"But my greatest joy since becoming a Harbinger is to throw punches at more strong opponents."
Paimon earnestly clenched her small fists: "What happened in Mondstadt won't happen again!"
Regarding the battle with Lumine, Tartaglia appeared very confident; he never thought he would lose.
Lumine was a little angry: "What do you mean 'I can't beat you'?!"
"Hahahahaha, alright, since you want to play too, don't disappoint me."
---
A little earlier.
Mu Qingge didn't want to confront the Adepti; she had more important matters.
So Mu Qingge, before being summoned by Ningguang, "accidentally discovered" the person Yelan had warned her to be careful of.
It was Anqi.
She also found this person very suspicious, so she quietly followed her.
And so…
When Ningguang sent people to search, they found nothing.
Mu Qingge followed Anqi all the way, and she actually ended up at the Golden House!
---
Inside the Golden House.
Lumine was sent flying by Tartaglia, rolling once on the ground.
During this time, she had experienced many battles with Keqing, and although she often failed, her martial arts had improved significantly.
Tartaglia slowly approached, combining his twin blades into a spear, which spun handsomely in his hand:
"Not bad. Your swordsmanship is indeed somewhat interesting, but that's all it is."
With that, Tartaglia immediately thrust at Lumine.
Lumine immediately used a wind blade, which collided with Tartaglia's attack.
Her left foot stomped the ground, and countless rock spikes emerged from the earth, attacking Tartaglia.
Tartaglia used the momentum to jump away, and by the time Lumine reacted, he had already arrived before the Exuvia.
"Hmph!" Lumine snorted coldly. "I didn't expect you to have another trick up your sleeve."
Paimon exclaimed: "He actually used the disadvantage to approach the Exuvia…?!"
"Don't make such a fuss, like a new recruit. This kind of thing is child's play for someone who has been on the battlefield for a long time!"
Saying that, Tartaglia suddenly grabbed the huge Exuvia with his right hand.
Because the Exuvia was too large, Tartaglia used Electro element power to condense a large hand, grabbing at the chest area of the Exuvia:
"Then, Morax's Gnosis, I'll take… Hmm?!"
Looking at his empty palm, Tartaglia inexplicably started to laugh:
"So that's how it is, truly surprising."
"So, you were the one who got there first!"
Tartaglia's electro element power surged violently around him again, this time even more intensely, and he simultaneously activated his Foul Legacy transformation…
---
In the live stream.
The fight scene was grand, especially when it transitioned into the animation, Tartaglia's spear twirling truly amazed many people.
: "So handsome!"
: "Holy crap, this graphics quality, even the most popular domestic animations nowadays might not be able to achieve this?!"
: "Am I the only one whose gaze has been drawn to that Exuvia the whole time? It's too big, you can't help but look, it's truly too shocking!"
: "Lumine got hit, not happy…"
: "Why isn't little Paimon helping?"
: "Upstairs, why are you counting on the emergency food!?"
: "By the way, why is the animation that appears after winning actually showing that they didn't win?"
: "..."
---
Outside the Golden House.
Mu Qingge had just arrived.
She could have arrived much earlier, perhaps even directly blocking Childe outside, but for the sake of the plot, she still decided to take several detours.
Yes, Anqi led her on the detours; using this as an excuse, no one would suspect anything.
Although no one suspected anything right now, just because there were no suspicions in Teyvat didn't mean there wouldn't be among the players.
You know, there are all kinds of players.
Who's to say someone wouldn't enjoy researching these things?
If she didn't pay attention now, and these details were suddenly dug up later, these inexplicable problems would become flaws in the game 'Genshin Impact'.
Although a minor blemish doesn't obscure the jade, she was a perfectionist.
At least the plot she was involved in had to be reasonable, otherwise, how could she collect emotional feedback?
In her consciousness space, Jiang Mumu was playing the game, synchronizing with the plot.
Outside, Anqi and Mu Qingge also happened to arrive outside the Golden House after Tartaglia used the Sigil of Permission.
Players were originally still immersed in the news that the Geo Archon was not dead, which Tartaglia had revealed, and were also astonished by the Archon he released.
After Lumine and Paimon left the Golden House, the scene suddenly shifted.
: "Qingge, my wife!!!"
: "Why do I suddenly feel so safe?"
: "Is this the weight of rock?"
: "Qingge seems to be looking for someone, she seems to have just arrived."
: "The God is about to be unsealed, it's over, it's over, Qingge, go help!"
: "Hmm, what do you think, will Tartaglia meet Qingge right after he comes out?"
This question apparently didn't need to be answered, because in the scene, Tartaglia met Mu Qingge right after he exited the Golden House.
