It must be miHoYo's doing.

In addition to displaying some basic information, each person's ID card also has a built-in camera function similar to a video camera. After taking a certain number of photos of terrain or buildings with the ID card, you can obtain rough stones.

(In fact, this is a 3D modeling camera that Tianming used to collect environmental materials in Teyvat.)

Within the first day of the launch of this mission, almost the entire Mondstadt was photographed by these crazy dreamers.

So, they turned their attention to neighboring Liyue, where vast tracts of land remained largely unphotographed. Some were even renting boats, risking their lives to travel to the now closed-off Inazuma.

"So, that's what happened?"

Ye Lan looked at the ID card in her hand and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Originally, she thought that those who went to Liyue might be spies of some evil cult.

But in the end, those people were just running around for the so-called raw stones.

"However, now that you know my identity, you should have guessed that I am here to gather information." Ye Lan narrowed his eyes and looked at Catherine in front of him, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"What? Are you so confident in me joining your association? Aren't you afraid I might do something?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing Ye Lan's words which clearly contained a hint of temptation and provocation, Catherine still responded with a smile.

“Lord, I don’t care!”

"Really? Your Lord, the president of the Dream Seekers Association? The God of Wishes? Is he really a demon god?"

Ye Lan became more and more curious and couldn't help asking directly.

The next moment, Ye Lan realized that she had said the wrong thing and was about to make amends.

Unexpectedly, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the lobby of the Dream Seekers Association, interrupting Ye Lan's next words.

"Dream Seekers Association? God of Prayer? Ha! It's just a false god! Do you dare to come out and fight me?"

In the center of the hall, Tartaglia opened his arms and laughed wildly.

This action naturally attracted the attention of countless people around.

However, the crowd did not panic because of this. Instead, they stood on the periphery and discussed it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, here comes another troublemaker. This is the nth time, why don't they learn their lesson?"

"People who haven't joined the Dream Seekers Association are like this; their worldview is too narrow."

"I think this kind of person is just stupid and doesn't know his own worth."

As Tartaglia listened to these words, the character "井" (well) appeared on his forehead.

"You guys— just— shut up!"

Tartaglia's Eye of God and Evil Eye were activated at the same time, and thunder and waves rushed towards the people who had made sarcastic remarks before.

Yue@yi*'s first post - "Evil Eye!"

"Oh no! It's the Fatui! And they're killing me!"

Ye Lan instantly recognized Tartaglia's identity and no longer cared about anything else. He condensed the elemental power on his legs and rushed out like a ghost, wanting to save those people.

Perhaps because Ye Lan was too anxious, she completely ignored Catherine's advice behind her.

"The Dream Seekers Association is not allowed to use any form of offensive means. Otherwise, you will be considered a violator and punished."

The next moment, a powerful force suddenly descended.

Ye Lan suddenly found that she was unable to communicate with her God's Eye to use elemental power. Her body paused and she fell to the ground.

Tartaglia, who had just activated the Evil Eye and covered his body with a layer of armor, was horrified to find that he seemed to have instantly turned into an ordinary person, and neither the Evil Eye nor the Eye of God could be used.

"This is... How..."

Before Tartaglia could react, he also fell to the ground.

But this was not the end. Boundless pressure immediately enveloped the two of them, making it difficult for them to even stand up.

Moreover, this pressure is gradually growing stronger as time goes by.

"What... is... going on?"

Ye Lan gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.

The few people who had previously made sarcastic remarks about Tartaglia also came over with a guilty look on their faces.

"Miss, judging by the ID card in your hand, you must have just become a Dream Seeker. Well, the Dream Seekers Association actually has many hidden rules, one of which is that the Dream Seekers Association headquarters cannot use any form of force... Just now, you wanted to save us, right?"

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. Actually, we're not afraid... Because no matter how powerful the person who wants to cause trouble is, they are definitely not as strong as the Lord of Prayers. Thanks to the protection mechanism left here by the Lord of Prayers, no one dares to cause trouble here..."

After listening to what several people said, Ye Lan finally understood.

It seems that she was kind enough to save someone but ended up getting hurt. She deserves it...

"Then... Is there any way to free me from this pressure? This pressure is too uncomfortable..." Ye Lan gritted her teeth and said with some difficulty.

"Um... yes, it does, but... it's a bit hurtful to my pride... That is, all you have to do is kneel on the ground and kowtow devoutly ten times. Otherwise, the pressure will get stronger and stronger until your body is crushed."

"Kowtow ten times?!" Ye Lan widened her eyes and suddenly felt very aggrieved, her face turned extremely bad.

The people of Liyue kneel to heaven, earth, and their parents, so they have never suffered such humiliation.

Those people also realized that Ye Lan was from Liyue and possessed the Eye of God, so he must be a master.

Although several of them joined the Dream Seekers Association, they have not yet prayed for anything to increase their strength. They are all ordinary people and are naturally afraid of offending the strong.

Seeing Ye Lan's face turn pale, he quickly clasped his hands together and bowed to apologize.

"I'm sorry! We'll each give you 5 gems to compensate you. I'm really sorry."

Volume 1: The Birth of MiHoYo: 099 The Reason for Ye Lan's Trial

Just when Ye Lan was at a loss, Catherine, who had previously handled the membership procedures for Ye Lan, came over.

There was always a smile on her face, and even when she saw the two people in front of her being oppressed, she did not show any apology or panic.

"Member Yelan, on behalf of the Dream Seekers Association, I apologize for involving you in the coercive punishment mechanism. However, this is the rule set by the President. Although you have good intentions and were not aware of this rule beforehand, the rules are the rules. The President is not here at the moment, so we cannot remove you from the coercive punishment area."

After hearing Catherine's explanation, Ye Lan's face became even uglier.

"So, other than kowtow ten times, there's no other way for me to leave now?"

Catherine continued to smile.

"Of course I do. I see you can still talk to me under such pressure. I guess you don't mind facing a bigger challenge."

"In that case, why not take the trial and become a junior member, which is above our candidate membership?"

As she spoke, Catherine stretched out her hand and pointed behind Ye Lan.

"The trial location is the crystal ball in the center of the hall. Simply walk near the crystal ball despite the pressure to begin the trial. Once you pass the trial, not only will the pressure penalty disappear, but you'll also become a junior member, surpassing ten thousand others, and enjoy greater benefits."

"Junior member?" Ye Lan narrowed her eyes and looked at the magnificent crystal ball in the center of the hall behind her.

In fact, when she received her ID card, she also received information about the junior member trial. However, she was only there to gather information and was not interested in the trial itself.

But now, it seems that she has no choice but to go for the trial.

She didn't want to kowtow ten times in public.

"It seems that I have no other choice!"

Ye Lan slowly stood up, gritted her teeth and walked towards the crystal ball in the center of the hall under the pressure.

On the side, Tartaglia, who was also suppressed by the pressure, heard the entire conversation between Ye Lan and Catherine.

At this moment, there was no trace of being shocked on his face, but rather he was full of fighting spirit.

"I didn't expect there were such things as trials? Haha! You want me to kowtow? No way! Even if I can't use the Eye of God and the Evil Eye, I won't give in easily!"

"I'll also let you take on this trial!"

Tartaglia gritted her teeth and also walked towards the trial crystal ball in the center step by step.

Originally, the fact that someone used his power in the Dream Seekers Association and was suppressed by the coercion and punishment mechanism attracted a lot of spectators.

And now, these two people who were suppressed by the pressure chose to challenge the trial at the same time. This made everyone in the hall boil with excitement.

People called their friends and soon a large group of people poured into the hall of the Dream Seekers Association. Everyone wanted to see if these two ruthless guys could succeed.

After all, since the first day the Dream Seekers Association was established, although the trial crystal ball has been placed in the center of the hall, almost no one dares to step into the trial area.

Because everyone knows the difficulty of the trial. Since the establishment of the association, nearly a week has passed, but only Bennett, who passed the trial on the first day, has become a member. This shows how terrifyingly difficult this trial is.

Since you know that there is a high probability that you will not pass, why make a fool of yourself in public?

So much so that now, a week later, almost all members have chosen another way to become junior members - spending 1000 original stones.

It was as if this trial crystal ball was just a decoration placed in the middle of the hall.

Let’s talk about Ye Lan and Tartaglia.

At this moment, the two of them were moving with staggering steps.

But overall, Tartaglia walked much more easily than Ye Lan because of long-term fighting and training.

But Ye Lan's eyes were already feeling dizzy and she could hardly hold on any longer.

The pressure was strong enough to break her leg bones. She even had difficulty standing, let alone moving forward.

"Perhaps... kowtow would be a better option? Why would I choose to suffer like this?"

At this moment, the voices of people talking around her reached her ears.

"Do you think the two of them can complete the trial?"

"I don't know, but don't we already know the conditions for completing this trial? The president once said that to complete the trial, you must have a wish that you must fulfill no matter what. We still don't have such a wish... Alas, we are so ignorant."

"Yeah, it would be great if we could pass the Trial too. Then, we could just pray ten times and have our wishes granted. Like Bennett before, who was originally unlucky, now he can make everyone around him lucky. He instantly became a hot commodity in Mondstadt, with people following him wherever he went. I'm so envious~"

"Indeed, a wish can do anything. If I had that wish, even at the cost of my life, to fulfill it, I might have attempted this trial."

As Ye Lan listened to these words, her right hand inadvertently touched her waist, where there was a small metal cage containing her most important and most hated thing - the Blood Jade Branch.

It was not until then that she noticed that the pain that the blood jade branch had always brought her had disappeared.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Ye Lan's eyes widened instantly. The Blood Jade Branch was a family heirloom, but it was also cursed. The wearer could exchange their life force for powerful strength. This was why Ye Lan was stronger than ordinary God's Eye owners.

However, this power comes at a price.

Because of this cursed power, Ye Lan has been eroded for a long time, and even now she needs to take medicine regularly to suppress the erosion, otherwise she will become a monster that kills indiscriminately, no different from a demon.

However, from the moment she was enveloped by the pressure and the Eye of God could not be used, she did not notice that the erosion caused by the blood jade branch had also disappeared.

"Could it be... Is this God of Wishes truly more mysterious than the Seven Gods? He can even remove my family's curse. If I become a junior member, can I..."

An unprecedented light suddenly appeared in Ye Lan's eyes.

There had been no light in her eyes for a long time. She had been wandering in darkness for a long time, doing shameful things, which made her eyes as deep as the abyss. But now, everything is different!

For the first time, Ye Lan felt that a certain wish hidden deep in her heart had a real possibility of coming true!

Ye Lan raised her foot again and took steps forward.

Looking at Tartaglia's back in front of her, she just smiled faintly.

"How could I... be surpassed by a Fainthead like you?!"

Volume 1: The Birth of miHoYo: 100 Death Trials! How to Break Through?

After a few minutes of "long journey", the two of them almost simultaneously entered within five meters of the trial crystal ball and arrived at the second level of the illusion trial.

"I didn't expect these two to have some perseverance. I remember that on the day the association was established, out of thousands of people, only a few dozen made it to the second level of the trial."

"I don't really care. What I'm most curious about right now is what their illusion trials are. Hehe, the previous illusion trials had illusionary images playing in the sky."

Sure enough, the next moment, two light screens appeared above the trial crystal ball, each of which played the illusion trial images of the two people.

………………

In Tartaglia's illusion, he opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar house.

"Where am I? Also, how come my God's Eye and Evil Eye suddenly became usable? What the hell is going on..."

Before Tartaglia could react, several familiar figures appeared in front of him.

"Father, mother, sister, and brother, why are you here?"
