Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

The Sulun School and the Yinlun School are celebrating the New Year together.

As the students chatted, a spirited young man dressed in the robes of a scholar from the Order of the Church walked briskly past them.

He looks like he's had plenty of rest.

These must be the very few chosen ones mentioned in the notice who are unaffected, right?

"Hello, student, are you unaffected by the abnormal ley lines?"

They couldn't resist their curiosity.

This is the first time in so many days that they've seen someone so energetic. They want to confirm whether they are truly the chosen ones.

"Oh, yeah, I wasn't affected at all, and I'm sleeping soundly now."

He truly is the chosen one!

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the others, the man slowly turned around.

Then, these students were stunned.

"Hey... classmate, where's your Void Terminal?"

How could someone in Sumeru City not be wearing a Void Terminal? Especially since this person is a student at the Order Academy?

How is this any different from primitive people?

"Oh, that thing? I picked it off and my sleep quality has improved so much. I'm not tired at all anymore. You guys should try it too."

Can I sleep well and not feel tired after removing the Void Terminal?

The students were stunned, completely unaware of the connection between the two.

"No, classmate, are you kidding me? Everyone knows that the anomaly in Sumeru City is caused by a problem with the earth's veins. What does it have to do with the Void Terminal? What kind of twisted logic is that?"

In the eyes of several students, this was a complete misrepresentation of two unrelated things, forcibly linking them together and conflating them.

The way they looked at the man at that moment had subtly changed.

From envy for the chosen ones, it turned into pity for... what was it called again? Right, pity for anti-intellectualism.

"You're all researchers, why don't you try picking them while you're sleeping? It doesn't take much effort."

Upon hearing this, some of the students dismissed it with disdain, while others frowned and lowered their heads in thought.

That's certainly true, and it doesn't take much effort at all; it's just a small favor. Verifying it shouldn't be a problem either.

In academic research, you need to make bold hypotheses and carefully verify them.

"Alright, I have something to do. You guys continue chatting, I'll be going now."

Seeing a faint flash of light from the Void Terminals worn by the students, the agent disguised as a member of the Order of the Order quickly made an excuse and slipped away.

Some students either dismissed him as an anti-intellectual and looked down on him, while others lowered their heads in thought, lost in their own ideas, and none of them said goodbye to him.

That's just right.

“I think he makes a good point, we can give it a try!” suggested the student who had previously vented his frustration by yelling to the sky.

The people around him looked at him as if they'd seen a ghost, even taking a few steps back to create distance, and said in an incredulous tone, "No way, you actually believed that? Are you really crazy?"

"It's just taking a nap after removing the Void Terminal, what could possibly happen?"

Chapter 253 Ordering Beyond Authority: Arrest

Without further ado, the group had a brief discussion and refined their division of labor before deciding to go back to the lounge to give it a try.

Hain, who proposed the experiment, took off his Void Terminal to rest, while the others were responsible for recording.

Although some people thought it was a waste of time, they couldn't resist the request from their classmate and friend.

"Phew~ Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever taken off the Void Terminal since I can remember."

"To be honest, I don't think I've ever taken it off yet."

As the group chatted idly, Hain, already exhausted after removing his Void Terminal, slumped onto the table and quickly fell asleep, snoring loudly.

"Snoring so loudly, it seems like you're sleeping really well."

The group of people didn't seem to feel anything as they watched this scene.

Everyone's sleep is normal, except for a few individuals who experience insomnia for various reasons. The main cause is physiological fatigue due to the abnormal burial, which cannot be compensated for by sleep or rest.

Good sleep quality doesn't prove anything; we have to wait until he wakes up and see if there's any improvement before we can draw a definitive conclusion.

"I'm so tired, let's take turns, I'm going to take a nap first."

"No problem, I'll keep an eye on it."

However, not long after, a chaotic sound of running could be heard outside, followed by the violent kicking open of the lounge door.

In an instant, everyone in the lounge except the student who had removed the Void Terminal woke up and looked toward the doorway from which the loud noise had come.

"Are they the disciplinary officer and the thirty-man mercenary group?"

The students skillfully used their virtual terminals to retrieve the identity information of the people blocking the doorway.

What is the discipline officer doing here?

"It's not just the disciplinary officer, but also a group of thirty mercenaries, all armed. They seem like potentially dangerous individuals."

"Who? A dangerous person? Are you kidding me? Everyone here is a poor student like us. Where would a dangerous person come from? What kind of dangerous person would be here?"

"Why are you asking me? I don't know."

The students in the lounge were completely bewildered by the appearance of the disciplinary officer and the thirty-man mercenary group.

Amidst the students' whispers, the disciplinary officer, accompanied by two mercenaries from the thirty-man group, approached Hain and his companions.

What? They're coming for us?

Everyone was quite bewildered.

I don't think I've done anything wrong, have I?

At worst, they haven't been focusing on academics lately, but that's no reason to arrest them.

Besides, how many people can actually do things properly these days?

A student sitting next to Hain asked timidly, "Um... Mr. Disciplinary Officer, we... haven't done anything wrong, have we?"

The disciplinary officer completely ignored what he said and instead shook Hain awake.

Wake up!

Hain was jolted awake from his sleep. He was momentarily stunned, as if trying to clear his mind. Before the disciplinary officer could make any further move, he excitedly jumped up from his seat.

"A dream? It must be a dream?! It must be. I've read descriptions in books; this is what dreaming is. I actually dreamed?! Isn't it said that not dreaming is a sign of wisdom? How could I recover just by taking off the Void Terminal? And in such a short time, I feel like most of my energy has been restored, unlike before when I would still feel tired after a night's sleep..."

His excited muttering to himself, which seemed somewhat erratic, startled the disciplinary officer who came to arrest him. The officer stared blankly at Hain's rambling and did not stop him for a moment.

"That person wasn't lying. Once the void was removed, there were absolutely no problems. Not only were there no problems, but I could even dream. The so-called ley line anomaly was a lie; the ley line anomaly was just a cover!"

Hain became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice grew louder and louder. Especially when he said the last two sentences, his voice echoed throughout the entire lounge, and everyone in the lounge could hear it clearly.

"What the heck? This guy's claim that the earth's veins are abnormal is fake. Is he dreaming? Dreaming that he's become a sage of the Su Lun school?"

"I think maybe he's just too tired and is hallucinating, unable to distinguish between illusion and reality."

"You know what, maybe? Let me tell you, I'm professionally trained, I don't usually laugh unless I can't help it."

Laughter, though attempts were made to suppress the volume, could be heard intermittently, with occasional "pfft" sounds from those who couldn't hold it in any longer.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up right now! Take him away!"

Unlike the students whose eyes revealed a clear-eyed naiveté, the disciplinary officer was quite frightened by his rambling nonsense. He sternly reprimanded him for talking and ordered the thirty mercenaries behind him to take him away.

It’s not fun to say this!

No wonder the Great Sage bypassed Grand Disciplinarian Seno and sent a private message directly to his Void Terminal, ordering him to bring mercenaries to arrest the person.

If this kind of rumor were to spread, it would be a huge problem!

Many people in Sumeru City are already suffering from the underground anomalies, and people may not be so rational.

However, Hain completely ignored the disciplinary officer's reprimand and, with a strength he didn't know he had, broke free from the control of the thirty mercenaries. He then stared at the Void Terminal that he had taken off the table.

In just a few seconds, when he looked at the disciplinary officer and the mercenaries again, his eyes had become firm and sharp, as if he wanted to cut the people in front of him into a thousand pieces.

A young student stared so intently at the seasoned disciplinary officer, who was over fifty and had weathered many storms, that the officer couldn't help but take a half-step back, which intimidated the thirty-man mercenary group, who hesitated in place.

Immediately afterwards, Hain suddenly sprang to his feet, throwing his Void Terminal to the ground, shattering it into pieces, and began shouting loudly in the lounge:

"The Void Terminal is faulty, the Void Terminal is seriously faulty! It absolutely has a serious problem. There's no abnormality in the ley lines at all. The people in Sumeru City are exhausted entirely because of the Void Terminal! The higher-ups of the Order of the Church must be up to something..."

"Gag him! Take him away!"

The Great Sage appeared in the void with a series of pop-up windows demanding that he stop holding back, quickly arrest the person, and stop him from spreading his heresies.

Under the Great Sage's series of demands, the disciplinary officer who came to arrest Hain finally loosened his grip and signaled the thirty mercenaries behind him to take coercive measures immediately.

Unsurprisingly, Hain was gagged and forcibly taken out of the lounge.

Despite being held captive by the thirty-man mercenary group, Hain continued to struggle, making "uh-uh" sounds.

Hain's friends finally realized that the problem was not so simple.

They were old friends with Hain, and some of them were childhood friends. How could Hain suddenly go crazy?

Even if he's insane, is it worth making such a fuss?

Moreover, they were fully aware of the details of the previously agreed-upon experiment.

This clearly indicates that Hain has made some major discovery!

It's possible that what Hain said is all true.

Seeing that things were not going well, the group prepared to slip away quietly. However, there was a group of thirty mercenaries standing guard at the door.

"Gentlemen, Hain is your classmate and friend. He had a close relationship with you before the incident, and you also had contact with that person. Please come back with us to cooperate with the investigation."

As the disciplinary officer behind them finished speaking, the thirty-man group pointed their spears directly at the throats of the group members.
