But at this moment, my heart was in turmoil. Oh my god, I can't stay in Liyue for another day. I need to go to Nata!

Just a few days ago I said that I might continue to travel around with the Edgeless Sword forever, but it’s only been a few days and you’re already here to try out the Rock Slashing Technique?

Why not just a five-star rating?

Or the Narcissus Cross Sword would be fine too?

Why is it a trial of cutting rocks?

Ahem, I'm a little greedy.

I calmed myself down and fiddled with Eris with my hands, repositioning her.

I just accidentally released the pressure all at once. Right now, Nata's plot is at its climax. I must readjust my mood and let the pressure accumulate again, otherwise it will feel a bit wrong.

Okay, that’s it, let’s continue with the story.

Volume 8: Chapter Negotiation with the Captain

I entered the world of Genshin Impact again.

Thanks to Eris's hard work, I finally finished the story of Genshin Impact 5.3 - she is worthy of being a goddess, her physical strength is really good.

Not bad, as always, Genshin Impact never disappoints me.

——This is the overall evaluation.

My evaluation of Genshin Impact has always been that if you compare it with other second-tier games, it is an exceptional one.

However, if we are only discussing Genshin Impact itself, my consistent evaluation is that I am very satisfied with it, but I think it still has a lot of room for improvement.

For example, the 5.3 plot this time is very good no matter where it is, especially starting from the descent into the abyss, the emotions are simply maxed out.

But there is still room for improvement, and that is that in the boss battle, there is a missing cutscene where I was killed by the plot - I almost didn't react that I was killed by the plot!

It would be even more perfect if there was a cutscene where I was killed by the plot as an emotional foreshadowing. Because the current expression style will definitely make many players unable to react.

Of course, for an open-world game that continues to operate, this is nitpicking.

After all, although many people play Genshin Impact as a stand-alone game, it is not a stand-alone game after all. It is impossible to spend several years repeatedly polishing the gaming experience of a few hours like a stand-alone game. Therefore, such a small flaw will not affect my evaluation of the plot this time.

Because there is no doubt that even if you take this one flaw in my opinion into account, this is still a top-notch performance.

In addition, the final portrayal of the captain's image really made me feel excited, so after putting Eris down, I entered the world of Genshin Impact again without hesitation - yes, I was motivated to push the plot forward again.

I'm going to Nata! I need to change my sword! I've had enough of this Edgeless Sword thing! ! ...Wait, I think I lent the Edgeless Sword to Ya? I haven't got it back yet.

Uh...it's okay, let's change it now. It's just a prototype of the Rock Slasher, so it's just right to change it in Liyue.

When I entered the world of Genshin Impact, I was still in the Qun Yu Pavilion, and then I released Paimon.

"Huh? How come Keqing and Ganyu disappeared in the blink of an eye? Kong, did you do something?"

Seeing Paimon shaking his head and saying this in surprise, I suddenly felt filled with guilt.

Am I being a bit disrespectful to Paimon? Just putting it away like that, using it like a pendant, is just… It really pangs at my conscience!

Especially since we had just finished plot 5.3, I was feeling very emotional towards Paimeng at that moment. So, I hugged her in my arms, rubbed her head, and said softly, "Paimeng, you are so quiet today. Did you do something to offend me?"

"what?"

What's wrong with you? You think I didn't notice something was wrong with you?!

The Mouth of God was so quiet on the day when I succeeded the position of the God of Geo. You didn't even say a word to complain about me when I touched Keqing's leg. Do you think you are normal?

"Tell me, this morning I had breakfast without even a piece of meat. Did you eat it all? I remember you had already finished eating when I woke up, right?"

"No, no, no, no! I didn't put all your meat into my bowl and ate it secretly. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, I'm sorry, I won't do it again!"

Paimon finally admitted his mistake after I pressed his temples with both hands.

Humph, what a joke! You thought I'd ever forget the sin of making a carnivore like me eat a vegetarian meal? The only reason I didn't settle the score with you back then was because it was during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, so I let you off for now! But if you think I've forgotten, you're completely mistaken! Even though I've been through so many worlds, this is the only thing I've never forgotten!

Do you think I will let you go if you say something touching to me in the plot?

Idiot's dream!

After spending a while teaching Paimon a lesson, I clapped my hands and said, "Let's go back to Mondstadt."

"Huh? Why do we have to go back to Mondstadt all of a sudden?" Paimon rubbed his head with tears in his eyes.

"I'm going to find a Riddler named Dain and have him destroyed."

"Humanitarian destruction? Did he do anything extreme? Just a few riddles?"

"Yes, because he said a billion riddles."

But of course, before that, I went to the blacksmith shop and ordered a trial rock-chopping sword.

Then we set out on the journey to Mondstadt.

——It was at this moment.

"Commander!"

Wang Xiaoyu suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Someone from the winter is coming."

I raised an eyebrow. "What a coincidence? I was just about to leave."

"Qixing doesn't dare to make the decision on this matter on his own, so we can only ask you to go there in person or appoint someone to negotiate with them."

"Who's coming?"

If it was the Doctor, I would go and kill him right now.

Wang Xiaoyu said seriously, "He's the captain, the first officer of the Fatui."

Oh my god, Queen of Winter, you are so despicable!

The Fatui's executives are ranked entirely according to their strength, and the first-place executive is naturally the strongest executive of the Fatui - this is of course not the point, after all, no matter how strong he is, he can't be stronger than me.

The point is, I just finished the captain's story, and my affection for him is at its peak. I feel embarrassed to negotiate too harsh conditions with him.

Or let someone else go? ... Of course that's not possible either. I still want an autograph and a photo.

Forget it, just give in a little.

"If you leave the Fatui and become my subordinate, I will return Tartaglia and Rosaline to Solstice, and you can also give this Heart of God to the Ice Queen."

These were my first words when I saw the captain. What a pity I had to give in to such an extent.

In response to my concession, the captain remained silent for a moment. "...The Heart of God was a deal between the Queen and the Rock King, so it seems there's no need for another transaction."

"What does your deal with the Rock King have to do with me, Emperor Gong Siming? I don't care about this, but since I've inherited the Rock God's throne, this God's Heart is mine. Even if the Rock King and the Ice Queen have already reached a deal, it doesn't matter. I stole it from the lady, so it's mine. Is that a problem?"

"I didn't expect the new Rock God to be so overbearing. But even if it's as you said, your conditions are too unfair."

The captain said in a calm voice:

"I believe my worth is greater than a Heart of God, an Eighth Seat, and a Last Seat combined. What do you think?"

Oh my god, what he said makes so much sense, I can’t even refute it!

Volume 9: Chapter : The Princess of Conviction

I must admit, I couldn't argue with the captain's words.

Although it may seem a bit rude to Tartaglia and Rosaline, the value of a captain is obviously higher than a Heart of God plus a Young Master plus a Lady.

The Heart of God is very important, but it is there and will not disappear. It can be collected slowly. The Fatui have plenty of time to slowly figure it out.

As for the young master and the lady, there is no need to mention it. The two of them together are not enough for the captain to beat with one hand. How can they compare their heads with the captain's value?

With just these three things, is it necessary for the captain to sacrifice himself to help the Queen get them?

It makes so much sense.

I have to admit I was convinced.

Although I think I have made a lot of concessions, it is obviously not enough.

"Then, let me add one more condition. If I can revive all the souls in your heart, will you be willing to serve me?"

"What did you say?!!"

The captain's voice suddenly rose a pitch.

"I can't let the souls in your heart go to the Kingdom of Night God right now, but I can still revive them."

“…Is this your power as an Adventer?”

"Just think of it that way."

"As an Adventer, why do you want to become a Rock God?"

"Have you met my sister?"

"...Yes. I am indeed well aware that you are a blood relative of Her Highness the Princess."

"What do you think of my sister?"

"You and Her Royal Highness are very different."

"Of course. My sister is a scumbag, and I'm a serious person. How can we compare them?"

"…" The captain responded to my words with silence, then suddenly said, "You are indeed a blood relative of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

"From what the captain said, I think I know what kind of person your sister is. She looks a lot like you, right?"

I grabbed Paimon's face and said, "You have misunderstood."

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Your sister is different from you. She must be a very serious person. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!"

I held Paimon in my arms and squeezed him hard.

The captain looked at me expressionlessly... with no visible expression behind his mask. He ignored the farce and said calmly, "You haven't answered me yet. As an Adventer, why do you want to become the Rock God?"

"Because I will eventually ascend to the throne of God. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later, so I'll ascend now."

"It seems you don't intend to answer my question."

“Do you think this issue is important to you?”

“…I need to report to the Queen.”

"If you agree, come find me in Mond. I'll be waiting for you there."

I don't think the Ice Queen would refuse.

Although there has been no positive plot about her so far, although the Fatui under her command are of complex composition, and although she can even accept people like the Doctor as her subordinates, I don't think that her "gentleness" and "kindness" are fake.

After all, there are stragglers who vouch for her - even that foul-mouthed brat has never denied the Ice Queen's gentleness and kindness, he just hinted that she might just be suffering from a compensatory mentality - so what else do I have to doubt?

Just like the Ice Queen did not reject the captain's choice in the plot of 5.3, she will definitely not refuse this time.

So, I will soon be able to gain a captain as my subordinate.

Hmm? You ask me what's the point of having a captain as my subordinate?

Nonsense, of course it is to increase Liyue’s combat power.

Is the Kingdom of Winter the strongest among the seven kingdoms in the world?

Who allowed it?

I am now the Geo God, so Liyue must be the strongest. Is there a problem with that?

no problem.

So, I went to Mondstadt with a happy mood, waiting for the day of harvest.

Why am I heading to Mondstadt at this time? Because of Dainsleif? No, no, no, it's because the princess is waiting for me!

My Fischl, I have missed you for a long time.

Hmm? Who is Fischl, you ask?

No way, not even the princess knows this? How ignorant!
