It must be miHoYo's doing.

"Yes... yes. I've done my research. By the way, I've always wanted to ask - is the MiHoYo Mutual Aid Association your organization?"

Hearing this question, Tianming smiled inwardly. Actually, this MiHoYo Mutual Aid Association was just something Tianming had come up with last night. After all, just using the name "Wish Devil" as a cover was too shoddy. To reassure other potential "customers," he had to invent a strong backing. The rest was up to these "customers" to figure out.

Then, Tianming's expression immediately fell and he started to act out his acting skills.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't say that. If those guys in front of me find out, they'll punish me again."

As he spoke, he wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Back then, as the only transcendent in my universe, I thought that once I surpassed my own universe, the sea would be wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky would be high enough for birds to fly. Unexpectedly, there are always people who are better than you, and there are always things beyond you. Besides me, there are actually other transcendents, and each one is more powerful than the last."

"None of us Transcendents would submit to the other, so we started fighting, until the stars turned upside down and the sun and moon dimmed. Then, a group of evil creatures from outer space appeared out of nowhere and interrupted the battle. We couldn't defeat any of them individually. Finally, we decided that fighting like this wasn't a solution, so we gathered together to negotiate and create an organization to gather talents from various universes and create more Transcendents to protect the peace of the universe."

"But, there must be a leader, a second leader, and a third leader in the organization. So we started the ranking competition within the organization..."

Having said that, Tianming clenched his teeth, seeming to be very angry.

"I originally thought that with my strength, becoming the top of the organization wouldn't be a problem. But who knew that those guys hadn't fought at full strength before, and now that they're in the ranking match, they're all on edge."

"In the first round against Fengmo Dawei, before I could even make a move, he unleashed three cosmic artifacts—the magic mirror, the boomerang, and the time machine. The magic mirror held me in place, the time machine prevented me from breaking free, and I took the last boomerang. How could I possibly fight back? I was outplayed and outmaneuvered!"

"Let's talk about the second game. I played against Master Cai Miao. This time, I learned my lesson and struck first. What happened? He summoned three universes of his own creation and used a Darkness Descent spell to pin me to the ground. Damn, which Transcendent brought their own universe with them? Is that even possible?"

"And the third one, against that Shaoji. He's even less of a poet. He has some minions, and I'm usually on good terms with them. But when the fight started, Shaoji used a blood sacrifice spell and killed all thirteen of his heroes, plus his red-haired teacher. You can see, I'm the most humane of the Transcendents. I was so scared he'd sacrifice all his minions, I immediately surrendered. After the match, I begged him to resurrect them, but he just said—it's plot-driven, so resurrection isn't possible. %&*￥＃@!"

"After these three ranked matches, I'm right at the bottom of the league. But I'm not the worst-off. The worst-off is that Water Bear Ancestor. He and Zhenyu Ancestor are both Transcendents from the same universe, and they're from the same hometown. But Zhenyu completely disregarded our fellow-townsman ties and simply activated the Great Leiyin Temple's aura, unleashing a frenzied elbow attack. He elbowed Water Bear Ancestor so hard he fell from Transcendent status, forcing him to return to his original universe to cultivate again."

"When I saw him, I thought, oh interesting! This guy is also very powerful. I can't beat him at all. So I surrendered and became the last one among the transcendents in the association. But it's better this way. They are all on the front line of the original universe to resist the army of alien evil creatures. I was assigned to the lower universe to discover some petitioners, increase the internal combat power of the association, and by the way, clear out the alien evil soldiers who broke through the defense line. No power, no power, I am also happy to have free time~~ However, here, you can still call me the acting president~"

After Tianming finished speaking, he looked at Qin and Keli, but found that their expressions were filled with shock and confusion, but also with a hint of sympathy.

However, this was exactly what Tianming wanted. His story not only gave the Association a rich background, letting future members know its unfathomable depths, but also helped him create a more approachable persona. While he had to demonstrate his invincibility and strength to win over all the members, it didn't mean he had to become a god-like figure. Tianming still wanted to interact more with these characters he had loved in his past life.

And things turned out just as Tianming expected. The origin of the association that he had just talked about was passed on by word of mouth and became one of the compulsory courses for every new member.

"Ahem..." Tianming coughed twice, bringing their thoughts back to their senses.

"Okay, I'm here right now. Captain Jean, and Klee, do you want to pray? (Looking forward to it)"

"Well! Klee wants to pray. It seems that Klee has another rough stone~" Klee raised her little hand, her face full of excitement.

At this moment, the door of the closed room was pushed open and two people walked in.

A woman wearing a charming purple robe, with translucent silk wrapped around her slender legs, and a wizard hat on her head, which made her look even more charming. This woman was obviously Lisa.

Tianming didn't recognize the person next to him at first, but after a closer look, he realized it was Kaeya from his signature short blue hair and right eye patch. Kaeya was covered in bandages on his head, waist, and thighs, and was wearing a hospital gown. He looked quite miserable.

"Ah~ So Mr. Tianming is here too. Sorry to interrupt your conversation with Qin, but Kaiya just woke up, and I had to thank Qin in person. If it weren't for those two magical foods Qin brought out, Kaiya might have been in real danger."

As Lisa recounted the story, Tianming began to understand the situation. This morning, while inspecting the black energy monsters outside Mondstadt, he'd seen numerous traces of battles between the Knights and the monsters. He assumed the monsters, enhanced by the black energy, had severely damaged the Knights. He hadn't expected Kaeya to nearly die, only to be revived by Klee's special dish.

Now it’s interesting.

Qin looked at the situation and sighed softly.

Originally, she hadn't told anyone about the Wish Demon and Klee's special food, wanting to take the blame herself. At the time, she wasn't sure Tianming was a good person. If he had other intentions, she could just bear it. But now that she'd been caught red-handed, and Tianming, the Wish Demon, was relatively easy to get along with, there was no need to hide it.

Volume 1: The Birth of MiHoYo: 008 You're only a few tens away from being the strongest! (Please save)

Then, Jean told Lisa and Kaia the truth.

At first, both of them stared at Tianming with extremely shocked eyes, as if they were frightened by Tianming's true identity.

But Lisa quickly regained her composure, her expression becoming elegant and indifferent again. On the other hand, Kaiya's expression was filled with strangeness.

Kaeya recalled a time when he wanted to challenge Tianming, an unknown visitor who suddenly appeared in Mondstadt. The two had a sparring match on the outskirts of Mondstadt.

At first, both men wielded swords, hacking and countering each other's blows in a back-and-forth exchange. After a while, Kaeya, leveraging his swordsmanship acquired through battle, gradually gained the upper hand. Just when Kaeya thought he could secure victory in one fell swoop, a strange scene appeared that he still remembers vividly.

Tianming suddenly became excited, shouting about bonds, friendship, and "Oil!" He then declared, "I, Tianming, am the best swordsman." Then, his aura soared, and with a single move like "Cut All Offal," he instantly killed the enemy.

After that, Kaeya also recognized Tianming's strength. However, he secretly thought that Tianming had mastered some method to temporarily increase his strength...

But now, Kaeya realized that he had been fooled. That Tianming... oh no... the Wish Demon was just teasing him.

So... why would a powerful god like to play the pig and eat the tiger? It's really a loss of style!

Kaiya was roaring inside, but his outward expression quickly calmed down, and his eyes looking towards Tianming were full of "respect".

Because Tianming did not exchange the ability to read memories, he could not see Kaia's thoughts at this moment.

After seeing that both of them had accepted their new identities, Tianming waved his hand and said, "You've come just in time. Klee and Jean are about to pray. Just watch from the sidelines. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so cherish it."

After saying that, the scenery in front of them changed dramatically, and they moved from the cramped Knights' confinement room to an island in the sky wrapped in a rotating lottery cloud.

Seeing this scene, the other three, except Tianming and Keli, were all shocked and a little nervous. After all, for them whose worldview had not yet been completely shattered, this sudden change in space was too terrifying.

Qin looked around, her eyes filled with surprise and excitement.

"Is this... what Klee talked about - the wishing cloud? A place where wishes can be fulfilled...?" Jean clutched the bracelet on her wrist tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Klee on the side didn't care about all this. She had seen this scene before and was no longer surprised.

At this moment, Klee ran straight to a stone platform in the center of the sky island, opened the terminal, and followed the instructions of the terminal to remove the raw stones from the raw stone column.

Ripples appeared in space, and raw stones emitting colorful light appeared out of thin air and fell into the depression in the center of the stone platform. Then they all turned into streams of light and rushed into the wishing cloud in the sky.

The next moment, the remaining number of wishes on Klee's terminal increased to 20. In other words, Klee had just invested 200 rough stones.

But seeing this, Tianming frowned. He had just checked and realized that after a night of accumulation, Klee's fantasy points should have been close to 1000. Why had she only invested 200?

Tianming did not hesitate and asked directly.

"Keli, you should have more than 1000 gems, right? Why did you only invest so little?"

Keli's little body stiffened and she lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Hey, Brother Tianming, Captain Qin prayed to save everyone in the Knights, but Captain Qin doesn't have any gemstones yet. Klee wants to give the remaining 800 gemstones to Captain Qin~~"

"Keli~~"

For a moment, Jean, Kaeya, and Lisa were all somewhat moved by Klee.

Tianming was somewhat helpless...

These people are new to wishing and may not yet understand the difficulty of collecting 800 fantasy points. Klee is an exception, as their real-life appearance and videotaping sparked online controversy. However, future livestreams and videos will not interfere with reality and will not generate the same level of buzz. Only when they personally collect the points will they understand the difficulty involved.

However, Tianming could confirm that even then, Klee would still give away all of her fantasy points. After all, Klee was such a kind-hearted child...

"It seems that we must take some measures... Otherwise, what if Jean always relies on rich woman Klee and doesn't collect fantasy points by herself, and becomes a winner without effort? Yes, I'm doing this for their own good." Tianming muttered to himself and quickly thought of a solution.

"Ahem, sorry, Klee. Although your act of giving the rough stone was well-intentioned, such behavior is prohibited within the association."

"Ah... why... Brother Tianming, can't you be flexible?" Keli held her little hands, her tearful eyes filled with pleading.

In response, Tianming just gritted his teeth and pretended not to see it, spreading his hands and said.

"Even if I try to be flexible, there's nothing I can do. The Stones come from the love that people in the Origin Universe have for you, and your Stone, Klee, only contains their love for you. Wishing utilizes the energy within the Stone to bestow a gift upon the loved one. So, even if you give your Stone to Jean, Jean won't be able to wish for it, and the Stone will be wasted."

Hearing this, Kelly became even more anxious.

"But... Captain Jean prayed to save everyone in the Knights. Everyone is in danger every moment, and Captain Jean still doesn't have any gemstones..."

"Don't worry, Klee." Tianming came over and patted Klee's head. "Our association has been around for so long, we naturally have a solution."

Turning his head, Tianming looked at Qin and said, "For new junior members, our association will provide a monthly subsidy of 200 raw stones. Of course, this needs to be repaid, but it must be paid back within one year."

Hearing this, Klee finally felt relieved, and Jean also breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lisa and Kaia, who had not yet joined the club, were completely confused, but they did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Okay, Klee, since you have 1000 gems, use them all for wishes."

"Yeah!" Keli nodded, her eyes full of excitement again.

Tianming smiled when he saw Klee throwing the remaining 800 stones into the stone platform and then impatiently pressing the ten-fold button.

I told you! Who hasn't experienced such a lot of positive feedback and still gotten addicted? Sigh~~ After all, Klee is just too kind~~

Next, Qin, Kaiya and Yinglisha experienced the most shocking period of their lives.

Watch the shooting stars shining with different colors fly out from the wishing cloud.

Watching Klee open those light balls of different colors.

Looking at the completely incomprehensible magical objects inside the ball of light.

The worldviews of the three people finally collapsed completely at this moment!

If someone had asked before this how one could jump from an ordinary person to become the strongest person in Teyvat, the three of them might have given different answers, or simply thought it was impossible.

But now, all three of them will give the same answer - you just need to make dozens of wishes.

Feeling Klee's aura soar like a rocket, the three of them even dared not look directly into her eyes, as if they would burn. And that was to say nothing of the various summons that appeared around Klee, both familiar and unfamiliar. One or two even had a demonic aura that instilled a sense of terror in the three of them.

PS: Please collect it, I’m covering it~~ I can do anything orz~

Volume 1: The Birth of miHoYo: 009 Jean's First Wish

After Klee finished her prayer, Tianming checked the result of Klee's prayer and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s just because - Klee actually made a payment!

You know, the probability of getting a payout is 0.01%, and Klee, including yesterday's 70 draws, has only pulled 170 times. This is completely inconsistent with the probability. It must be said that Klee is really lucky.

The gold-quality item was a constellation. Yes, it was the constellation given when you drew a duplicate character in the game Genshin Impact.

As for the purpose of this constellation, I will explain it slowly.

On the continent of Teyvat, each race has its own power limit. Even if an ordinary person obtains the Eye of God and cultivates for a lifetime, reaching the upper limit of their race, they still cannot defeat a demon god at his peak.

This is because the upper limit of the power of the demon gods is higher than that of humans. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

However, there are ways to break through this limit and become stronger in Teyvat. For example, ascending to the level of a demon god. For details, please see a certain bard...

Apart from this, there is almost no other way to break the upper limit in Teyvat. However, the constellation gives every wisher a way to break through the shackles and become the strongest.

Its principle is to pull the power projection of the same person in the parallel world together for fusion and superposition. The effect produced is not an ordinary 1+1=2, but a qualitative change, a leap in the level of life. Tianming prefers to call it breaking the genetic lock.

After Klee absorbed the constellation, her strength, reflexes, and mental strength all increased dramatically. For a simple comparison, Klee, now with the constellation, can outperform ten Klees before the constellation. This explains why Jean and the other two felt a stinging sensation when looking directly into Klee's eyes. This is due to the sudden surge in power, and Klee hasn't yet fully mastered the release of that power.

In addition to this gold skill, Klee also received a purple-quality skill called Shared Vision. Simply put, Klee now shares vision with all of her summons and creatures. This is a very useful support skill.

As for the rest, there are 12 blue rare items and other green, green, and white common items.

At this moment, Klee was sitting on the ground sorting through her "treasures." Aside from the summoning card and the light ball she had absorbed, Klee had shared most of the other items.

"Captain Qin, please give these healing foods to the knights. Unfortunately, Klee clearly wanted more of these foods when she prayed, but Mr. Wish Cloud just didn't respond..."

"Kaeya-san, I'll give you this set of blue-quality adventurer relics. Wearing them seems to increase your health or something. Klee doesn't quite understand, but it should protect Kaeya-san. Kaeya-san, don't make Klee worry from now on~"

"And Lisa... Sister, this Magical Introduction seems very similar to yours, but it has some special effects. I'll give it to you~"

The three people received gifts from Klee and had different expressions.

Among them, Kaeya felt the power and vitality surging out of his body after the holy relic merged into his body, and his eyes when he looked at Tianming were obviously more different.

"If... I can also..."

………………

After a while, Klee packed up her prayer items and placed them all into the storage space Tianming had added on the terminal bracelet. Now, it was time for Jean to pray.

Qin took a deep breath, walked to the stone platform, and followed the instructions on the terminal to transfer the 200 raw stone subsidy she had just applied for from the association.

200 Primogems equals 20 draws, which is far too little compared to Klee's 100 draws. But at this moment, Jean was incredibly excited. After watching Klee's wish, Jean became curious about her own fate and what the Wishing Cloud would use to fulfill her wish.

Without hesitation, he pressed the ten-hit button, and the wishing cloud began to spin. A moment later, the result of the first ten-hit combo came out - seven white and three green...

Qin looked at the results, feeling a strange sense of aggrieved. After signing the contract, all the information about the wish entered her mind. Blue items were considered rare, so it was normal if they didn't drop. But seeing how Klee always dropped a blue, or even a purple or gold, in every ten-draw combo, she didn't even get a single blue. The huge disparity made her question her own destiny.

"No, I am now the acting leader of the Knights Templar. I must be strong. Nothing can defeat me..." Qin tried to maintain a calm expression on her face and began to open the ball of light.

The white light ball is still pretty rubbish. Besides Mora and some incomprehensible materials, there are three sunset fruits with healing effects. It's better than nothing.

In the green light ball, there is a physical light ball, a skewer of Mond grilled fish and a portion of Mond potato pancakes.

After absorbing the physical light ball and feeling the sudden surge of strength within her body, Qin showed no joy at all. She simply stared at the stone platform in front of her, unable to muster the resolve to press the ten-hit combo again.

This is exactly the same as Klee's situation at the beginning. She both felt that her luck was not good and did not dare to draw the lottery.

Seeing this, Tianming showed a happy smile.

That's right! This is the normal probability! It seems that Klee is the only European emperor, so I feel relieved, haha~
