I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Moreover, this Sea Lantern Festival is the first one that is completely dominated by mortals after the immortals left. Keqing, who is strict with herself, requires herself to do everything herself and not make any mistakes.

"Keqing is always too strong and easily broken. It is not a long-term solution to continue working so hard."

Ningguang said with concern:

"I have tried to persuade her, but it was ineffective. Traveler, I hope you can help me persuade her."

267. Players request Ye Ming and Keqing to be close

[I guess, he came to invite Keqing in the name of persuading her to take a rest]

[The invitation tasks are all the same routine, but I’m still looking forward to it]

[After all, the invitation task should have been released since the first day of the public beta, but there is no character to invite until now]

Changing the soup but not the substance is a lazy behavior. If it were any other game, it would definitely be criticized by players.

But the focus this time is neither the soup nor the medicine, but Keqing, the person who is receiving the medicine.

"Keqing was made a popular character from the beginning, but she was never given the treatment that befits a popular character, which kept players on edge."

“When everyone is tired of the game, we will release the content they are most looking forward to, so as to increase players’ enthusiasm for the game content.”

A-Ci, a wise man, concluded:

"Ye Ming, this is what you have been thinking all along, right?"

"You're still as smart as ever."

Ye Ming smiled and said:

"Just as you said, Keqing is the sharp blade that I have been sharpening but has always kept hidden."

Having said that, Ye Ming did not tell anyone else. The story she showed to the players here was just the most insignificant daily life between her and Keqing.

The real story of the two people cannot be integrated into the game at all.

"People who are always busy with work and need to be persuaded to take a break... I don't think they exist here."

On the other side, in the villa in the paradise of the past, Alicia tried to find some sense of immersion.

But after thinking about it, apart from finding Keqing cute, it's really hard to feel like I'm there.

Eden smiled and said, "After all, Ellie, you are always slacking off."

Pardo recalled: "Isn't Klein in Mobius's laboratory all year round?"

Grayshu shook her head and said, "Aunt Mobius said that Sister Klein volunteered to work overtime."

[Why do you call me Auntie but call Klein Sister? 】

"Eh? This barrage..."

Alicia was surprised:

"Mebius, are you secretly watching my live broadcast?"

【…】

"Sister Ellie, now that you've said that, Mebius will definitely not answer."

After a while, Alicia still didn't get a reply from Mebius, so she had to continue the game.

In order to persuade Keqing to have a good rest, players began to ask for advice from people from all walks of life in Liyue.

The conversations along the way well showcased the various types of people in Liyue and can be considered a set program for the festival activities.

To say that anything important was discussed, that’s true, but in this festive occasion, everyone is here to have fun, so just laughing it off is the best reward.

"So, this is the story you made up to persuade me?"

At the end of the mission, the player made up a story about a three-bedroom, two-living-room house based on his life experience along the way.

Keqing listened very cooperatively, pretending to know nothing, until she finally burst out laughing.

At that moment, the players who had been complaining about the story being too low-brow and the life experience being too boring finally understood...

This so-called story is just a lie. The real gain of this mission is the moment when Keqing burst out laughing.

Of course she knew that this story was made up by a traveler, and she also knew that the story was very crudely made up.

But Keqing still cooperated and listened to the end, staring at the storyteller with gentle eyes, making everyone who played to this point feel that "Keqing has me in her heart."

"In everything, you should know before you act and do your best. I certainly understand this principle, but when things happen to me, I sometimes lose my sense of proportion."

"That's the fog, isn't it?" the traveler concluded.

"Yes, if you go up a mountain, you will see the clouds and mist between the mountains; if you go on a ship, you will see the fog on the sea. Only when you realize where you are can you see your true heart."

After expressing her feelings, Keqing stopped being stubborn and promised with a smile:

"Don't worry, traveler. No matter how busy I am, I will make time to hang out with you during the Lantern Festival in a few days. We can enjoy the fireworks together at night."

After leaving this suspenseful agreement, the first task of the Lantern Festival series was completed.

In order to make the climax of the Lantern Festival coincide with New Year's Eve, the entire Spring Festival version is divided into two parts, and the next mission will be opened three days later.

[Lantern Festival Quest × Keqing Invitation Quest√]

[Keqing is so cute. When did I stop caring about her? ]

[Yeah, I liked Keqing so much when the game was first released, why did you become distant from her? ]

[Hasn’t the plot already told us? The fog is blinding us, and we are all blinded by the intensity.]

[We are the ones who really need to recognize ourselves and find our original intentions! 】

[Come back, Aqing, I won't dislike you anymore]

After seeing the players’ comments, Ye Ming knew that the time had come, so he immediately released an announcement about a new card pool and character adjustments.

——Starting from 6 o'clock this afternoon, the UP pool will rotate to Keqing UP, and Keqing's exclusive weapon will be launched at the same time.

——At the same time, the skill multipliers of the five-star character Keqing·Thunder Rain will be improved across the board.

[Oh my god! Keqing has been strengthened! ]

[This has been planned for a long time! I just showed off Keqing's charm and entered her card pool]

[I know this is a trap, but I still want to step on it]

[More than just wanting to step on it, I directly ask for more force! ]

[I originally liked Keqing, and now that she’s stronger, I have to max out her life! ]

"Everyone, I still don't have Keqing, so I'll draw first as a token of my respect~!"

Under the leadership of Alicia, not long after Keqing was rotated into the UP pool, the revenue began to surge, even breaking the record for the fastest revenue of over 10 million.

As Keqing's ownership rate increases, adhering to the principle that once she has been created, she should be used more often... more and more players have also experienced Keqing's charm.

Coupled with the "Legendary Quest" that she had just completed, Keqing's popularity, which was already high, continued to soar, and even reached the top for a while.

Then, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Players who originally had a positive opinion of the "Keqing Invitation" in the Lantern Festival began to express their dissatisfaction.

[Don’t you think this mission is too bland?]

[You are like this, after all, we are just friends]

The reason is very simple. Originally, no one thought Keqing was that good. The invitation mission just needed to be a little sweet and make everyone smile.

But now, when everyone is obsessed with Keqing, this level of interaction is simply not enough to satisfy everyone.

[I want to see Keqing show her affection, I want to see Keqing’s sweet love! ]

[If Mihoyo doesn’t give us, what can we do?]

[Why can't we do this? We still have Ye Ming.]

[I want to watch Ye Ming and Keqing kissing now! ]

268. The girls’ emotions are much more complicated than those of the audience

"It's outrageous. A few hours ago, there were so many positive reviews, but now there's all this fuss."

Ye Ming looked at the reviews from major gaming communities and was a little confused.

If it was really not done well, then why did it receive good reviews at the beginning?

Moreover, the water flow in the pool has been maxed out. Can you really say one thing and do another?

“Maybe it’s because the pool has been exhausted and everyone has drawn Keqing, so they are dissatisfied.”

Aci analyzed:

"Before, everyone treated Keqing as a passerby, and would be satisfied with a little bit of sweetness, but now players have pushed Keqing to the limit."

"After investing so much effort, I certainly can't be satisfied with a story of this level."

Bronya collected some opinions from the players and then made a report to Ye Ming.

She concluded: "In short, I just felt that the soup was bland and not sweet enough."

Ye Ming complained: "This isn't a love game, how can there be so many sweet and heartwarming plots."

"I really want to play a sweet love development game, go play the old man ring?"

This sentence immediately reminded Bronya of the days when she and Ye Ming stayed up all night in the dormitory playing online with Old Man Ring.

It seems that there are indeed some people who categorize these games as relationship-development games.

"Well said, the royal ghost will come to your house tonight to have a romance with you."

Having said that, players don’t really mean to give bad reviews. The quality of the work itself is still good, they are just unsatisfied.

Therefore, after failing to get an official response, the first thing to be flooded was the personal space of the one who was never loved.

[I want it now! Watch Ye Ming and Keqing kissing! ]

[One candy of Ye Bao and Keqing, no need to cut, more sweetness, thank you]

[No coriander, no coriander, no coriander, no coriander]

[You compare coriander to a knife, right? What happened to coriander? 】

[People who don’t like to eat coriander can only live a relatively failed life]

"Ye Ming, do you like coriander?"

After seeing everyone’s comments in the UP’s space, Hu Tao also became interested.

"It's okay. I don't like it that much, but I don't object to it either. I can eat it."

"Wow...what a boring answer. Saying that you don't want to offend anyone is the most boring."

"You just want to stir up trouble?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Mei felt a headache;

"You... and these viewers, where have you gone off the rails?"

Ying asked in confusion: "So, are you really here to discuss whether or not to eat cilantro?"

“Of course not.” Zhen tapped his sister’s forehead. “Everyone is asking to see Ye Ming and Keqing’s sweet love story.”

"Why is it me and Ye Ming..."

Keqing never thought that one day she would be matched up by game players.

What she didn't expect was that at this point, she would actually feel a sense of joy and satisfaction in her heart.

However, Keqing's thoughts were not reflected on her face. She still pretended to be troubled and kept the temperature of her face within a range that was not too red.

Seeing her like this, Ah Ci said with concern:

"It's normal for you not to want to do it, Keqing. How can love and affection be decided by others?"

"Ugh?"

Before Keqing could react, Mei also finished off the attack:

"This kind of thing depends on your own will. If you feel unhappy about this, Keqing, you should express it to those who are making trouble."

"No, no, no, it's not as serious as you say."

Keqing hurriedly explained:
