Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Unfortunately……

"Indeed, no matter how big the world is, if you are 'alone', it is ultimately just a boring empty shell."

Ling Shu didn't bother with the usual route and simply climbed out of the window, landing on the street outside.

Quiet.

It was so quiet.

It's alright here in 'Harbor-Meyron', because there's a gentle sea breeze, so at least you can hear some noise.

If this were anywhere else...

Flowers, trees, people, insects, birds, beasts, and even gods... all life, except for Ling Shu himself, disappeared.

This place is truly desolate (and lonely).

What has caused this desperate situation is that large, silvery-white halo hanging high in the sky.

Rather...

"If the interpretation of the 'prophetic poem' is correct, it should be around these next few days, right?"

Ling Shu raised his head and murmured this to himself.

Strangely, the 'hatred' he once felt was no longer present in his gaze as he looked at the large, silvery-white halo.

Only... endless feelings of helplessness.

Because, now he knows:

"If we want to find a way to save the world, this is indeed the only way."

This is……

"A world-class 'evacuation operation'."

******

The next day, very early in the morning...

In a parallel world, here in 'Orario seven years ago'.

Good morning, Ying.

"Yes, good morning, Alexie, and Ryu too."

"Today we're going to West Street to distribute rations... Ah~ I can already foresee the happy smiles on people's faces."

The red-haired girl was lost in her own thoughts, "After all, a beautiful girl like me who attracts so much attention will see a lot of people today..."

"..."

Ying and Liu exchanged a glance, both showing helpless expressions.

Alexandra is a wonderful person in every way.

She is warm-hearted, has a strong sense of justice, is eager to help others, and is determined.

But she's a complete idiot.

Yes, you're a super idiot.

They have an incredibly eccentric personality and are prone to getting carried away with their success from time to time.

According to Lyra, a few days ago... before Ying temporarily joined the Astrea Familia, Arisel led a group to attack a stronghold of the 'Dark Faction'. Relying on her 'Red Flower Bloom' magic, which made her immune to fire attacks and explosion damage, she charged forward with her sword, directly enduring the bombardment of fire stones from a group of fanatics.

result……

I wasn't injured.

Just as Alexandra defeated all the fanatics and stood triumphantly among the fallen, saying something like, "Hmph~ As expected of me," her clothes suddenly caught fire.

After that, she almost did the same 'snake molting' move as Dr. Mebius from the previous civilization of the Honkai Impact world in front of a group of members of the extermination team.

Smooth and bare~

At that time, it was quite a chaotic scene.

Afterwards, having finally managed to prevent herself from being exposed, the girl still tried to argue, saying in a serious tone, "Everyone makes mistakes, even someone as outstanding as me is no exception, so Ryu... you should take this as a warning~"

Ryu: "What does this have to do with me?"

In short, now...

"Ying, are you going to work at 'The Abundant Mistress' today too?"

"Hmm~"

Hearing Ryu's question, the goofy little sister nodded and replied, "The thousand 'breakfasts' for this morning are still up in the air, and many adventurers are looking forward to them..."

That's the truth.

There was no way around it; even Ryu had to admit that Ying's cooking skills were truly superb.

Right now, this useless elf has only just begun to recall last night's dinner... and he's already subconsciously swallowing his saliva.

According to her idea:

"It's like it's been drugged! The vegetables are practically glowing!"

It is precisely this exquisite and delicious cuisine that makes many adventurers unable to resist it.

Therefore, the 'one thousand breakfasts' in the morning and the 'three hundred orders' in the evening have become some of the most sought-after items within Orario.

This is also thanks to the fact that Ying introduced these at the 'Abundant Mistress' tavern.

Otherwise, it might directly trigger countless violent incidents.

at the moment……

"Once I'm done with my work, I'll head over there to help distribute the supplies."

Ying responded in this way.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "According to the intelligence from Erebus, today... that madwoman (Valeta) will lead a group of fanatics to attack the supply distribution point."

[Killer] Valetta Gretti, Lv.5, is considered a strategist-like figure in the 'Dark Faction'.

Of course, whether it's the 'official history' or the current 'orario seven years ago', in the eyes of the spectator, this crazy woman is just 'picking the tallest among the short' among a bunch of idiots.

Not only were they completely outmaneuvered by Finn the Hero, but the methods they used to cause trouble for the 'Order' side were mostly underhanded and despicable.

No doubt about it...

"Let's kill him one more time."

Ying thought to herself, "If all goes well, with the help of my 'aunt' and Uncle Cha, I might be able to finish all the 'business' by tonight."

It's obvious that Ying has no intention of being a complete idiot and foolishly waiting for the 'seven days of death' in the original timeline to arrive.

The wisest choice is to strike first without hesitation after making sufficient preparations on your own side.

after all……

“If Miss Cassandra hasn’t misinterpreted the ‘prophecy,’ then what happens next…”

Ying's eyes narrowed slightly. "Many places, including this parallel world, will become battlefields for resisting powerful enemies from outside the world."

"Although the cause of the calamity has nothing to do with me."

"But since this place will become one of the many 'defenses' that stand in the way of 'official history,' I certainly cannot stand idly by when the chaos breaks out later."

"therefore……"

To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability.

"Let's destroy the 'Dark Faction' first and collect the seven portions of 'Divine Power'."

Chapter 376 Ying: Perhaps I'm More Like the Villain?

In this chaotic era known as the 'Dark Period', many ordinary people lose their homes and jobs due to the rampant actions of the 'Dark Factions,' making it difficult for them to support themselves and their families. Therefore, many agricultural factions, led by the 'Demeter Familia,' occasionally join forces with the 'Guild' to distribute relief food.

At this point, the guild will issue mandatory tasks, requiring those factions that can spare manpower to send people to the scene to maintain order and distribute food.

Today, the Astrea Familia received such a mandatory mission.

Also present was Grace Landrock, a member of the Loki Familia.

The latter, needless to say, is naturally responsible for 'maintaining order at the scene'.

According to the old man himself, "Compared to a rough, dwarf like myself, people who come to collect relief food would probably prefer to see those vibrant young girls giving them heartwarming smiles."

That's how it is...

"Sigh~ I'm the worst at getting involved in this kind of 'charity'."

Upon arriving at the scene, the cunning rat looked helpless and began to sigh.

Lyra... she usually plays the 'bad cop' type, a sharp-tongued character.

In her self-assessment: "Alice and the others are all good kids. They are too embarrassed to lose their temper easily when they encounter bad people, so I have to be the one to say some 'dirty words'."

Of course, there was another person who shared the same... or rather, 'similar' thoughts as her.

"I don't like having too much contact with strangers, so I went to the back to help with the cooking."

Kaguya Gojou, a member of the Astrea Familia known for her martial prowess and nicknamed "Yamato Rindou" by the gods, had a clear objective from the very beginning.

Seeing this, Leila quickly followed.

Alexie and the others were used to this. After shrugging at each other, they walked to the relief food distribution stall.

Speaking of which...

Since this wasn't the first time relief food had been distributed, the order here wasn't initially chaotic.

Well... in the past, there were indeed some selfish ingrates who caused trouble, but they were all dealt with very badly afterwards.

With this cautionary tale of making an example of someone to scare others, not to mention those who were already following the rules, even those who liked to take advantage of the chaos have naturally become much more obedient.

However, compared to these petty thugs...

"Oh my! The weather is really nice today. It's been a long time since I've seen such a clear, cloudless day."

"I'm sure something wonderful will happen today!"
