Congratulations to Master Yae, it's a happy occasion

Keqing looked up and down at the girl who called herself Hu Tao. At first glance, she really looked like her, especially her plum blossom eyes and her voice. They were so similar.

Before Keqing could confirm carefully, several figures walked into the room.

Qiqi who holds on to the coconut milk.

Klee eating grilled fish.

Wendy held on to the wine glass.

Under Keqing's strange gaze, the three of them just stared at her.

Keqing was forced to take two steps back by this.

Who are these guys? They are all wearing those weird but good-looking clothes.

He was obviously a drunkard from the street, and the smell of alcohol could be smelled from far away.

There is also a little girl eating grilled fish and drinking milk.

Looking at the table again, there are two beautiful older sisters and a sunny and handsome older boy.

However, this little girl drinking milk also looks very familiar. The more I look at her, the more she looks like the zombie in Bubulu. After all, she is so cute. I will definitely remember her because she greets me when she sees me.

Keqing reacted and immediately said to Qiqi: "Are you Qiqi?"

Qiqi bit the straw, tilted her head and looked at Keqing, asking in confusion: "You are, you are the purple cat sister, Qiqi remembered."

"Purple Cat Sister?"

Everyone in the room was very interested in Keqing's nickname.

"Hey, Keqing, you even recognize Qiqi, but you don't recognize me. Are you doing this on purpose?" Hu Tao interrupted at this time.

"Okay, Hu Tao, let me explain to Miss Keqing." Xingze, who was originally sitting, stood up and came to Keqing's side.

"You? You are?"

"I'm the host here. You can call me Xingze. If you don't mind, you can have dinner with us. What I'm going to say next might be a little shocking to some people."

"But don't worry, I, Xingze, have always been your best partner."

……

With a pair of bowls and chopsticks, Keqing sat next to Hu Tao a little awkwardly. She still couldn't believe that this was Hu Tao.

The hairstyle is obviously different, and so is the necklace and lipstick.

Another thing is that I am actually a person in a virtual world and I come from a game.

"I'm sorry, even though you don't want to admit it, this is the fact. Eat something first and we'll talk slowly." Xingze said as he used a colander to put shrimp dumplings and other things into the walnut bowl, and picked up some dishes for Shen Ziying.

I originally wanted to pick something for Keqing as well, but considering that I wasn’t very familiar with her, I let Hu Tao do it instead.

Keqing looked at the shrimp dumplings in her bowl. Although they all had the word "shrimp" in them, the cooking methods were completely different. Fortunately, she was not a picky eater.

He took a bite of the shrimp dumpling absentmindedly, frowned and asked, "You guys are here to play a joke on me, right?"

"Of course I'm not kidding."

Xingze scooped some food for Klee and Qiqi, and then said, "This is Inazuma's Thunder God, Baalzebub, and the chief priest of Yaedo, Yaedo Shinko. This is Mondstadt's Wind God, Barbatos."

"Which immortal can ask them to play a joke on you!"

"Baalzebul? Son of the Eightfold God!! Barbatos?"

As a native of the continent of Teyvat, Keqing had of course heard of the names of the gods Inazuma and Mondstadt. As for the Eightfold Son of God, she had also heard Ganyu mention him.

but……

Keqing looked at the man who was holding the wine glass tightly. Could this really be the wind god Barbatos?

There is another Thor who looks stupid and has to act like a spoiled child and ask others to feed him when he eats.

However, this Eightfold Son of God still seems to be quite majestic at the moment.

"Are you two really gods?" Keqing asked tentatively. After all, no matter how she looked at it, they didn't look like gods.

Wendy did not reply, but Ying looked at Keqing with her purple phoenix eyes as soon as Keqing finished speaking.

The originally dazed expression disappeared instantly, and his eyes became sharp.

"Of course, it will be replaced if it's fake."

Ying spoke slowly, and as her voice fell, Keqing felt her whole body go numb. The lightning elemental power that was originally very friendly to her was now extremely manic, as if it was cheering and wanted to rush out of the body and run towards their master.

Combined with the aura of Ying at this moment, Keqing instantly understood that this kind of elemental affinity must be from a god.

The moment she understood, Keqing felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body.

"I am just a fictional character!"

Keqing's faith seemed to collapse.

She has always believed that man can conquer nature and hoped to reverse the situation through human efforts. But now she is told that everything about her is fabricated by others and her life trajectory has long been a topic of after-dinner gossip at other people's tables.

Chapter 41: Xingze, the best partner

Even one's own beliefs, the belief that man can conquer nature, are set by others.

It was arranged by the 'Heaven' called 'Mi Huyou'.

It’s really ridiculous when you think about it.

It was a waste of my persistence. I didn't expect that in the end, all my efforts and struggles were just jumping on a stage arranged by others.

I am like a puppet, being pulled by strings by Mihuyou, but I naively take other people's arrangements as my own efforts.

How sad! !

Xingze looked at Keqing's uncertain expression and knew that she was struggling between her conscience and her conscience. If she could get over this hurdle, she would still be the same Keqing. If she couldn't, she would either turn evil and become three times stronger, or become a waste and stay at home.

However, as their best partner in this world, Xingze will definitely not sit idly by.

Seeing Keqing's face becoming increasingly ugly, Xingze came to Keqing, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Keqing, even if you were a character in the virtual world before, now, from the moment you knocked on the door, you are no longer one."

After hearing Xingze's words, Keqing's eyes gradually regained their spirits. She quickly grabbed Xingze's hand and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Because you have broken through the dimensional wall, you have come back to life. You can now control your own body, and your life is no longer arranged by others."

Indeed, if Keqing is always just a game character, then she will never be able to escape Mihoyo's Five Finger Mountain, no matter how powerful she is in the game, it will be of no avail.

But now it’s different. Keqing has come to the real world and got the opportunity to break free from the shackles and control her destiny.

So after hearing Xingze's words, Keqing took a deep breath and asked with a hint of anger in her tone: "Then what should I do?"

"It's very simple. Shen Zi and I have discussed it before. When we have more people, we can just buy Mi Huyou and modify it as we like."

Suddenly, Ying, who was eating beef, said casually.

"Can buying it change our fate?"

Keqing asked a little confused.

Xingze nodded and then expressed his guess.

After all, the future development of Genshin Impact is in the hands of Mihoyo. With the current popularity of Genshin Impact, its popularity will not decrease in at least two years, so Mihoyo will not destroy it.

Then, controlling Mihoyo would be equivalent to controlling Teyvat, and indirectly controlling the fate of everyone in Teyvat.

If we say that Ying and others were just puppets in Mihoyo's hands before, then now the puppets have awakened their self-awareness and are ready to start resisting Mihoyo's controlling hand.

"Is that so? Then I'll go back and get Mora now, and I'll definitely buy it when the time comes..."

Just when Keqing was about to go home to get the money, she realized that she couldn't go back.

Ying looked at Keqing's expression and couldn't help but want to laugh. It seemed that he was the same at the beginning. Looking at Keqing was like seeing his former self, like looking in a mirror.

"Don't think too much. Why do you think I, a god, would stay here?"

Xingze took a bite of the food and said with a smile, "Don't worry. As far as I know, the speed of time in Teyvat and this world is different. Several months have passed here, but only one day has passed there. So we still have plenty of time."

Although Xingze said this now, although he has something that can make money, the kind that can make a lot of money, it is still far from enough for him to buy Mi Huyou, which is now at its peak and making a fortune.

Maybe when his company expands nationwide and even exports abroad, there may be an opportunity.

But this will take time.

But in front of Keqing, we still have to give her some confidence, otherwise it would be bad if she turned evil and took up a sword to kill Mihoyo.

So, seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Keqing was quite moved, and even her stomach, which was no longer hungry, started rumbling again.

"Okay, we have a long way to go to eliminate Mihoyo. Let's eat first. Hu Tao bought so many delicious foods. We can't let them go to waste."

Keqing looked at the food in her bowl, which was already half full. She quickly thanked him and started eating with her chopsticks.

After dinner, Keqing was also arranged to stay.

Originally, Hu Tao strongly suggested that Keqing share a room with her tonight, but when Keqing saw that there was an empty room, she chose an empty one and moved in. Now that she knew that this was Hu Tao, although she wanted to reminisce with her fellow Liyue friend, if it was Hu Tao, then that was something she had to consider.

The unoccupied rooms in the house are covered with dustproof cloths, and Shen Zi and Ying also clean the rooms regularly, so they can be lived in after a little tidying up.

Xingze made the bed, looked at the clean room, and said, "You can live here first. It may not be as good as your home, but it is habitable."

"What are you talking about?"

Keqing raised her eyebrows and said, "I am not a person who seeks pleasure."

"Of course I know. I have heard all about your deeds."

Xingze also told everything he saw in Keqing's background story in the game.

"Did you learn this from the game?"

"Strictly speaking, it was mentioned in the background story."

"..."

It’s really unpleasant to think that what I have done is known to others, and even my likes and dislikes are discussed by others.

Come to think of it, even if Xingze himself, if someone knows his privacy one day and discusses it online...

Thinking of that scene, it was simply a scene of social death.

"Okay, I have just taught you these things. If there is still something you don't understand, you can ask me. Of course, you can also ask Hu Tao. I won't disturb your rest. Good night." Xingze said and left the room.

Keqing also said good night to Xingze, closed the door, looked at the soft light at the bedside, felt the extremely soft mattress, quilt, and the novel decorations in the room, all of which reminded her that this was no longer in Liyue.

Xingze woke up early in the morning.

Although today is the weekend, his biological clock still wakes him up on time.

I got out of bed carefully, and when I went downstairs I saw Keqing sitting on the sofa, reading a book seriously.

Xingze took a quick look and saw that they were all books he used to read in college. It seemed that Keqing took them out from the study.

"Good morning, Keqing!" Xingze greeted Keqing when he arrived in the living room.

Keqing was so engrossed in reading that she didn't notice Xingze had arrived. She came to her senses when she heard him greet her and quickly put down the book to respond.

"Good morning, Xingze. I got up early and was a little bored so I just flipped through it."

"It's okay, but why did you get up so early? It's only 7:7 now." Xingze looked at the time. It was just 30:. He looked at the book Keqing was holding. She had already turned more than half of it. The book of Mao Zedong Thought was quite thick. Even if Keqing read quickly, it would take her at least an hour to finish it.

Of course, those who just pretend to flip through the pages casually don’t count, but it is obvious that Keqing is not that kind of person.

Chapter 42: Beef Offal Master Keqing

"Well, continue reading. I won't bother you anymore. Reading can also help you understand the world faster."

"By the way, what would you like to eat in the morning? I'll make it for you."

Upon hearing this, Keqing waved her hands and said, "You don't have to cook for me, I can eat anything. I'm already very grateful that you can take me in." Keqing didn't want to trouble others too much.

Xingze listened to Keqing's words, thought about it, and then said, "Then let's go out to eat later. It's just in time for you to come here to welcome us."

After Xingze finished speaking, he went straight into the kitchen without waiting for Keqing to object. He hadn't yet cleaned up the food from last night, so he just washed the dishes.

"Eh..." Keqing stretched out her hand and wanted to say something, but Xingze had already left.

Pursing her lips, Keqing could only sit down and immerse herself in the ocean of knowledge again.

It was only about ten minutes later when Xingze came back after packing up his things. He sat on the sofa and chatted with Keqing from time to time. The two gradually became familiar with each other.

After Keqing finished reading a book on Mao Zedong Thought, the last one, Hu Tao, also woke up and walked out of the room rubbing his eyes.
