Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Keqing is a master of time management. Even though she is very busy with work, she can still find time to do whatever she decides to do.

However, her efforts may not yield good results in the end, because Zhongli doesn't really like eating these things, but shrimp balls are better than octopus and squid.

Anyway, it's Liyue Thor who's cooking, not Inazuma Thor, so eating it won't kill you.

On the other hand, Nilu and Dina Zede are the most envious; they are arguably the most miserable among fans from all countries.

Barbara can polish the Sky Harp every day, and others can listen to the songs of the Wind God.

Keqing can buy Emperor's dolls, wood carvings, and even meet him in person.

Fontaine was thrilled, as Miss Funina had many performances, and some of the more dedicated fans could even have one-on-one meetings with her.

The gods of Nata are always there, presiding over each pilgrimage and personally visiting various tribes.

Especially the Echoing Children tribe, whose visits have become so frequent that Shinonin of the Echoing Children no longer wants Mavica to visit him, especially during his rest time.

In Zhidong, they even traveled with the Queen, and 'loyalty! sincerity!' were etched into the hearts of the people of Zhidong.

They alone, in Sumeru, who loved the Red King, were considered heretics and ostracized, even though they possessed some relics left by the Red King.

I like the goddess of flowers, but she's a bit of a 'niche' person, so there aren't many documents or dolls to 'have a good meal' with.

Even the most orthodox followers, who loved the Great Tree King, were immersed in grief over her departure and have now completely forgotten her.

Those who like the little grass goddess Nasida may not even have seen her, and she is constantly targeted and has to go against a group of people.

Now that Xiaocaoshen is free, merchandise related to her hasn't flooded the market yet.

Dolly has already started working on this, but her supplier, Ms. Alice, is not so easy to contact. However, Dolly has found other suppliers and can produce some ordinary merchandise first.

Do you think I'm stupid for not taking advantage of such a huge market?

Pantalone thought the same way, and the factory in winter began to ramp up its efforts.

Chapter 796 A Game of Chess

The people of Sumeru are indeed not very successful when it comes to 'idol worship'.

Even the people of Haigi Island, who worship the sea god Orobas, can go and see Orobas's remains, but they have nothing.

That's what they thought, but in fact, at that moment, the Great Tree King was just passing by the Sumeru Man, planning to go to the Grand Bazaar to buy some things and go shopping.

True fans are focused on the Easter eggs at the end, but other readers are more interested in the main and supporting storylines.

The main focus of the overt storyline is on Manyo, while the main focus of the covert storyline is on the scattered soldiers.

But this story only scratches the surface of these two storylines; what happens next?

The rest of the story hasn't been written yet, but the "clown" of the Fools seems to be more concerned about something else.

What he cared about wasn't the story of the stragglers, but a much larger game of chess.

Since the lady hadn't died, she had already somewhat escaped the "clown's" game, so he urgently sent the "young girl" to communicate with her.

Then Columbia enjoyed watching a movie, but she didn't forget about work.

She obtained reassuring information from Lin Qiu that confirmed Piero's suspicions.

What's the speculation? Just like Piero said in his Winter Night Fool's Play, there are no such things as sacrificing pawns in a battle; the lady's death was part of the plan all along.

Fortunately, Lin Qiu wrote "Winter Night Fool's Play" shortly after the plan was broken. Although the exposure of the plan was a bit of a pain, at least the information revealed in it reassured the clown a lot.

With the information provided by Lin Qiu, he basically confirmed the 'rules of operation' of Heavenly Law.

When the principles of Heaven are 'asleep,' the rules will only operate according to the old rules set by Him. In this game of chess between humans and gods, the principles of Heaven will only follow the procedural steps.

Following this line of thought, after the Fools seized the Hearts of the Rock God and the Wind God, in the eyes of Heavenly Principle, these two gods (pawns) no longer made any moves.

If the two of them don't move, then Tianli will be forced to direct the other pieces to move, even if that's not the optimal solution for the game.

In the game of chess played on a winter night, the white side represents the principles of heaven, and the black side represents the fools, or rather, all of humanity.

Lin Qiu had drawn that step of the Heavenly Principle before; it was a white knight devouring a black soldier.

During Yingbao's period of withdrawal, the general clearly favored the 'rules', and at that time she was a piece on the white (heavenly principle) side.

The 'White Knight' devoured the 'Black Soldier'.

This move was actually a bad one, directly turning what was originally a very advantageous position for White into a very advantageous one for Black.

In fact, the truly optimal solutions are the Chariot and the Queen. The first optimal solution is for the 'White Queen' to eat the 'Black Knight', which is when Wendy takes action, but he does not.

The suboptimal solution is the 'white car,' which is Zhongli's action, but he didn't take it.

The chariot and the queen did not make a move, so the 'Tenri' side followed the 'pre-arranged procedure' and used the white knight to devour the black soldier, which is the Thunder General slaying the "Lady".

(This 'pre-arranged procedure' has a source: one of the games between chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov and 'AI Deep Blue'.)

(There's an achievement called 'Deep Blue' in this version. I'm not sure if it's hinting at something, but there's a lot of information in this version.)

I imagine Tianli must be feeling pretty bad too, since all his officials are traitors, whether it's the four ruling officials or the seven ruling officials in the mortal world, none of them are easy to deal with.

In any case, this move by Heaven has confirmed the "clown's" guess: the rules have a set procedure! It will not change flexibly.

Perhaps it was because the "Captain" knew this that he was able to negotiate with the ruling class of the dead, because the Fools knew that for the ruling class, rules were more important than flexibility.

At the time, Death's Rule clearly had other ways to solve the captain's problem, but she still chose to shirk responsibility in the face of the rules.

In a sense, the Fools' act of stealing the Heart of God was not an attempt to seize the power of other gods, but rather an attempt to forcibly bind everyone to their own camp, namely the Black side.

Even though the white side's rook and queen are already stationary, someone unfamiliar with the game might think it's a game of 'life', where playing chess involves using seduction to make people rebel.

In short, the clown said this because the "lady's" death was part of the plan:

There are no sacrifices in this game, because for this game, checkmate is not the end.

'Checkmate' will not be the end, because when humanity is checkmated, it will enter a new 'cycle' again, and when Tianli is checkmated, it is only the beginning of a new history for Teyvat.

What the "clown" is concerned about now is Lin Qiu himself, who is a special factor outside the game.

What is Lin Qiu up to now? Won't it affect the overall situation? Is he even on our side? Hey, stop messing around, okay?

No, we still need to send the "young girl" to ask, and the "servant" must continue to follow along.

Eliminating this external factor? That's impossible. Putting aside whether their abilities allow it, the main issue is that the "clown" side really doesn't want any unnecessary complications.

Playing the game with 'Heavenly Principle (AI)' requires careful calculation at every step. If we were to target Lin Qiu and push him to Heavenly Principle's side, it wouldn't be a good idea.

Moreover, given Lin Qiu's interpersonal relationships, it's hard to say how many people this push will turn against him; he can only appease this living father.

He's just writing books to spoil the future, which is already considered 'stable' for the "clown".

It's more accurate to say that it's against the principles of Heaven, but the principles of Heaven are now 'AI managed' and don't care about whether it's beneficial or not, because Lin Qiu isn't even in the game.

At this time, Lin Qiu was unaware of the "clown's" troubles; he was still preparing to release his new book.

Lin Qiu has already prepared the content for "The Fallen Garan," but there is one more story to tell before the opening of "The Fallen Garan."

This story has no direct connection to the stragglers, but it is intricately linked to them.

That is: The Chapter of Maple Leaves - Unfamiliar Faces in the Wilderness.

This is the legendary quest of Manyo. Manyo's story has been told a lot before, especially the island story, which can be said to be the real legendary quest of Manyo.

Although the island story takes place in the 'future', it actually tells the story of Manyo's past, while the story of 'not recognizing an old friend in a strange land' tells the story of Manyo's present.

The story begins with a traveler arriving in Inazuma, where he is then targeted by a 'samurai'.

This was unexpected; no one would actually cause trouble for travelers.

Putting aside her background, her abilities alone are something that ordinary people can't easily exploit.

As everyone expected, the 'samurai' was kicked away by the traveler as if it were a roadside animal.

Although this samurai was somewhat lacking in skill, he was still quite eye-catching because of the sword in his hand.

The illustration features a close-up of the sword, which has an eye on it and is shrouded in black mist. Although it looks like an ominous demon sword, it's still incredibly cool!

Good versus evil is the user's business, what does the Guan Dao have to do with it? Readers only know that being cool is a lifelong pursuit! I want to buy it!

Chapter 797 The Chapter of Maple Leaves

Ordinary people can't understand a knife; they can only tell whether it's cool or not.

But skilled swordsmiths like Ying and Manyo could spot the problem at a glance.

This sword doesn't just look like a demon sword, it is a demon sword. It must be a masterpiece by some master.

In Inazuma, swordsmiths categorize swords into 'Kageuchi' and 'Shinuchi'. There may be hundreds of Kageuchi swords, made of ordinary materials and forged using ordinary methods.

There will only be one true katana, and it will be made with top-quality materials and top-quality forging. This katana is clearly a top-quality katana of the 'true katana' level.

However, following Inazuma's line of reasoning, I really don't know whether the "real sword" created by Lei Films should be considered "shadow sword" or "real sword"?

In short, after being kicked a few times by the traveler, the samurai in the story calmed down considerably and began to speak:

"Hmm? So you don't have the Eye of God. Looks like I mistook you for someone else."

From his words, we can tell that he is looking for someone with the Eye of God, and he himself has stated who he is looking for:

"Have you seen him? A person named Kaedehara Manyo."

Has Kaedehara Manyo's enemy come looking for him? But the Kaedehara family has no enemies.

The Kaede family was very low-key in their later years. As they gradually declined, they gave away all their wealth and dismissed their servants before they were completely ruined. They could be considered to have done everything they could. So how could they have any enemies?

The only enemy that readers can think of is the 'Black Master' mentioned in the story, who is also a straggler.

But the story also says that it was the stragglers who deliberately let Manyo's grandfather go. If he wanted to destroy the Kaedehara family, he would have done it back then.

This really makes everyone wonder about this person's purpose. Surely he couldn't have come to seek revenge instead of looking for relatives, could he?

No way, no way. If someone is a good person looking for relatives, they'd be stabbed first.

Unable to figure out this person's purpose, my curiosity has been piqued. I just hope that this time the reason isn't as bizarre as the one at 'Summoning Summit'.

Readers are mainly curious about why this samurai is causing trouble for Manyo, but not about why he is targeting the traveler.

First of all, I'm curious why they're looking for trouble with Wan Ye. It's because of Wan Ye's 'achievements'. He was able to withstand a strike from General Lei Dian, so how could anyone dare to cause him trouble?

This is not hard to understand, because some people do not believe that he can really withstand a strike from General Thunder.

It's probably just empty fame, but it's not bad. If I kill Manyo, I'll become famous.

If his reputation is true, then Manyo's personality should be just as rumored; he wouldn't make things difficult for himself, which is practically perfect.

As for why they didn't take on General Thunder's blade to make a name for themselves, it's because General Thunder would actually kill them.

If they dare not approach the general, they will naturally turn to Wan Ye. They will defeat Wan Ye when his fame is at its peak, and thus make a name for themselves throughout the world!

The search for Wan Ye led them to Ying Mei, which didn't surprise anyone.

Because Wan Ye wasn't tall to begin with, the height difference between him and Ying Mei wasn't significant.

Furthermore, since Yingmei also uses a one-handed sword, and this samurai relies entirely on hearsay to find people, it's normal for him to mistake someone for someone else.

After all, the only image the samurai knew of Manyo was that he was 'not tall', 'used a one-handed sword', 'could use wind elemental power', and 'possibly could also use lightning elemental power'.

Judging from these points alone, Yingmei does indeed meet the requirements.

It's a good thing Sora isn't here, otherwise Sora and Manyo would look even more alike, and Sora's eyes are even a bit reddish.

In the book, the samurai asks the traveler about Manyo, but the traveler isn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't tell such a dangerous person about his friend.

The traveler wasn't stupid, but the samurai was; he thought the traveler had left without knowing anything.

Actually, if he had asked from the side, he could have definitely squeezed information about Manyo out of Paimon.

Unfortunately, this samurai wasn't that intelligent. He left, not only failing to gain any information himself, but also revealing some information in the process.

Yingmei noticed something during their recent exchange: the swordsman's technique was somewhat similar to Wan Ye's, as if they had been taught by the same master.

Now that the samurai has left, it gives the traveler the opportunity to inform Manyo about this matter first.

Just in case, the traveler decided to inform Wan Yi, I mean Wan Ye.

Coincidentally, the "Southern Cross" fleet that Manyo was following was on the outlying island, and the traveler planned to go and take a look.

When asked about the whereabouts of Manyo, a crew member of the "Southern Cross" on the outlying island, he was told that he had been summoned away by the people of the Tenryo magistrate.
