Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

[Silver Wolf: If you still want to discuss this topic, shouldn't you set an example?]

(Zhao Qian Zhao)

Black Swan: Of course, no problem.

[Black Swan: First, I need to explain that I am a remembrancer, but beyond my duties, I also have some...personal aesthetic pursuits, especially a desire to witness and collect those crystal-clear, dazzling, and precious memories. Paper]

[Black Swan: So to put it bluntly, in most cases, I won't have any personal conflicts of interest with any of you.]

[Black Swan: As for my discovery in Pinocene?]

[Black Swan: Have you all heard of Biari Scamanderos? It's one of the earthly paradises under the influence of "Harmony," a haven sought after by the inhabitants of both the Greater and Lesser Daldanu star systems.]

[Black Swan: Halfway through the Amber Age, the family held an unprecedented grand ceremony there, and after the banquet... everyone on the planet became a member of [the family].]

[Black Swan: I can imagine this news might cause panic, but based on what we know so far, such a serious incident is very likely to happen again.]

Everyone: "¨〃 ——!!!" Holy crap! He has a prior record!!!

PS: Thanks to 'Wind' for the vote!

The image shows fireflies.

Chapter 284 Fireworks: Either I destroy you all, or you all destroy me!

The sudden and explosive news left people stunned and speechless. No one expected that the [family] had already done something like wiping them all out long ago.

[Himeko: To turn everyone on the planet into 'one of us' with just one banquet, what an enormous appetite!]

[March 7th: Isn't this terrifying? And since it happened halfway through the Amber Period, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?]

[Black Tower: I'm curious about that too.]

[Black Tower: Isn't this the kind of problem the company loves dealing with?]

[Jade: Of course, after all, the company's mission is to maintain peace in the galaxy.]

[Black Tower: Shouldn't they be profiting from this?]

[Jade: Heh~ Maintaining peace also requires a normal life.]

[Jade: Besides, we were originally merchants.]

[Jade: But speaking of which, hasn't Ms. Black Tower noticed this? Are those who are lost in their dreams willing to give up this beauty? Even if this beauty is illusory, why face the cold and cruel reality when one can enjoy it?]

[Jade: To give a special example—someone is disabled in reality, but can enjoy a wonderful life perfectly fine in the dream world. Would they rather stay in the dream or return to reality?]

[Jade: To put it bluntly, it's not that we don't want to get involved, but even companies usually don't force others to change their minds.]

[Fu Xuan: Hmm... I have to admit, this dream world does have its unique aspects, but it's cruel to say, even if you want to maintain this beauty, you still have to spend money, right?]

[Jade: Of course, it can't be provided for free, but isn't this exactly what they want? When you're out of money but still want to stay in the dream world, the [Family] can set conditions, for example... as long as you become a member of the [Family], you can get a job. Would you be willing to work for them?]

[803 Jade: If the [family's] actions are as I suspect, then they have undoubtedly masterfully exploited the weaknesses of human nature.]

[Jade: But—the above is ultimately just my conjecture, a logical assumption based on data and past lending experience. However, according to everyone's findings and analysis, the [Family] clearly still has coercive measures; otherwise, it would be impossible to assimilate all the planet's inhabitants into members of the [Family].]

Upon seeing this, people nodded in agreement. Although the woman didn't seem like a good person, what she said made sense.

[The family] absolutely has the ability to forcibly assimilate people!

But then again.

First, the Masked Fool, who thrives on chaos, obtained a copy of the diary. Now, a guy who specializes in lending money has appeared. In a sense, the composition of this live stream is becoming increasingly complex.

******

Seeing more and more people discussing it enthusiastically in the live stream, Black Swan, as the one initiating the discussion, was very satisfied.

In the live broadcast, Liu Ying, sitting on a bench in the square, seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Because of the example presented by jade.

Isn't this a true reflection of herself?

[Black Swan: Compared to us, Miss Firefly was probably the first to know about the problems with Pinocene and even launched an investigation. Did you make any other important discoveries during this process, @Firefly?]

[Fireworks: Interesting. Since you're so interested in Pinocchio, why don't you ask me? Or maybe ask that chicken wing girl?]

[Black Swan: It's obvious, Miss Fireworks, I don't trust you.]

[Black Swan: But compared to you, Miss Firefly doesn't seem like someone who would lie. I don't need to explain my choice, do I?]

[Hanabi: Oh dear, that's really harsh, but the thought that you hate me so much yet have to face me makes me so happy!]

[Black Swan: ...]

[Hanabi: Haha! Speechless now? I'm even happier!!!]

Watching the two's online chat, people in front of the screen had different expressions. Some were noncommittal, some couldn't help but laugh, some were worried about Hanabi's mental state, and some even wondered if she had some kind of mental illness.

[Firefly: Actually, I have nothing more to say. Silver Wolf has already revealed all the findings up to this point.]

[Silver Wolf: Hey, don't make it sound like I'm trying to steal your credit. Didn't you want me to reveal my identity in the first place because you didn't want to? Then you turned around and revealed it yourself, which puts me in an awkward position.]

[Firefly: Uh... I didn't mean that...]

[Silver Wolf: Alright, alright, I know. The culprit is that Masked Fool, and thinking about it, Kaffa @Kaffa, the one who used illusion magic to imitate us in that previous video, it should also be her!]

[Kafka nodded slightly: Yes, I thought so too. In that case, little girl @Hanabi, you need to give us an explanation today.]

Everyone: "..." I see!

Upon seeing this, Xingbao and the others in front of the screen suddenly realized why they felt something was off. Silver Wolf was clearly not in Pinocchio, yet he knew more than they did. It turned out that it was all the information passed on by Firefly.

[Hanabi: Oh dear~ Looks like you guys are planning to gang up on us?]

[Hanabi: But it doesn't matter! I was prepared for this when I embarked on this path of pleasure: either I destroy you all, or you destroy me! Of course—before that, you all have to find me first! Hahaha~~~]

[Silver Wolf: Tch, you think you're so tough just because you can see through a screen? Not surprising.]

[Silver Wolf: But isn't it easy to get wrecked to death?]

[Silver Wolf: Stinky Baby @Gu Jing, create one for her quickly!]

[Gu Jing: Tsk tsk, although it still stinks in the end, it's still somewhat interesting to hear you call it "treasure."]

[Gu Jing: Give me a few seconds to think about it...]

******

It was said to be a few seconds, and it really was just a few seconds. The live stream immediately switched to a titled "Here comes the chicken soup!"

[The scene in the video is the observation car of the Starry Sky Train—]

[Himeko is entertaining Kaffa and Silver Wolf.]

[Xingbao, March 7th, Liuying, and others were also sitting around the sofa.]

[At the very beginning, Fireworks, carrying a large bowl, walked up to the audience laughing: "Hahaha~~ Here comes the chicken soup!"]

[“Poisoned? How could that be? Who’s framing me? Okay, okay, I’ll drink it, I’ll drink it…”]

"Oh, drinking soup is such a wonderful thing!"

"Perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of salt, it tastes wonderful!"

[“...”]

[“You’re all afraid to drink, afraid of dying, right? Let me tell you, you won’t drink? You won’t live if you don’t drink!”]

"Now that everyone knows, I'm not going to act in this play anymore."

"I am the infamous Masked Fool!"

["Code name: Wildfire!!!"]

[“...”]

"Damn it!"

"Trying to play dirty tricks on me, huh?!"

"Let's just get started..."

The short 5-minute video made many of the characters remember the lines, and the serious yet comical style made people both laugh and cry. Surprisingly, even though she was playing the clown in the video, Hanabi herself was having a great time.

[Fireworks: Hahaha~~ That's hilarious! How about a live-action version next time @Gu Jing! What do you think of that suggestion?]

Gu Jing: Of course, that's no problem for me.

[Gu Jing: If you're interested, you can contact me this weekend.]

[Hanabi: Mmm! I like jokes—this world is too full of bitterness and hatred!]

[Fireworks: Jokes may not make the world a better place, but at least they won't make it more hypocritical, right?]

[Gu Jing: This is the first time I've heard of this viewpoint.]

[Gu Jing: And in my opinion, you pleasure-seekers are usually like this—"You say I'm lawless? Hahaha! That's your law, that's your heaven! I have my law, I have my heaven!"]

******

As the conversation progressed to this point, Gu Jing and his two companions in the live stream arrived at a nice bar. The bar owner was a stylish woman dressed in men's clothing.

However, looking at the comments he posted in the live stream, people, including Hanabi, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. This made them understand why these pleasure seekers always acted so self-centeredly, but understanding doesn't mean agreeing.

For example, there's the story of a certain god of pleasure who lurked on a train for a year and even blew up half of the carriage before leaving. Logically speaking, to be able to do such a thing, he must be seriously ill, right? A normal person wouldn't do such a monstrous thing.

At that moment, when he came to his senses, he saw that someone had already brought two girls to the bar, and Silver Wolf could no longer suppress his urge to complain.

[Silver Wolf: Good heavens! Bringing two girls out drinking late at night, you're clearly up to no good!]

[Bai Lu: More than just ill intentions! His ulterior motives are written all over his face! I told you long ago that this guy surnamed Gu is no good (laughs)!]

[Gu Jing: You should say it like this—]

[Gu Jing: To be able to bring two beautiful young women, each with their own unique charm, out drinking late at night, this is like a sparrow biting a cow's butt, a sparrow eating a cow's ass!]

[Black Swan: Pfft~ You always manage to come up with something new.]

[Jade: But I have to admit, sometimes, appreciating something that appeals to both refined and popular tastes is also a pleasure. At least, I've been in a good mood all day today (laughs).]

[Xingbao: So...can I drink now?]

Himeko: ???
