Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

Mei ignored the bickering and looked thoughtful: "Is this really okay? Kiana, the idea you mentioned isn't even a mini-game. It could be a whole new game in its own right."

"No, just bundle this mini-game with Genshin Impact. That's the only way to create the greatest value. Trust me."

Kiana said confidently:

"By then, the value that the Genshin Impact IP can create will far exceed the imagination of everyone in the world, and it will drive players all over the world crazy."

——Ye didn’t know what happened in the other world.

He just calmly talked to Ningguang about the business he wanted to accomplish.

This business is the Internet.

What is the Internet?

The games that players on Earth play now are called Internet games.

This time, Ye plans to popularize the Internet in Teyvat, and also to make the Genshin Impact game more popular on Earth.

Genshin Impact is indeed a very good game. It can be said to be a very powerful game in the gaming industry. Whether in terms of popularity, profitability, or IP value, it is top-notch in all aspects - but this does not mean that Genshin Impact has no flaws.

The biggest flaw of Genshin Impact is that it has a long idle period. After exploring, playing it every day is basically like punching in at work. It not only makes players quit other games, but even Genshin Impact itself.

So, how to solve this problem?

It’s very simple, just build a small game into Genshin Impact.

This is the main reason why Ye wants to expand the Internet this time.

First, open some Internet cafes in all the countries in Teyvat, and then sell computers to thousands of households little by little.

From the perspective of players on Earth, these Internet cafes will be open to players. Players can go to the Internet cafes to surf the Internet, and then play some mini-games built into the Genshin Impact game to experience the wonderful feeling of playing games in the game.

Of course, for the time being, Ye only wants to release one game... although this one game is enough.

Hmm? What game, you ask?

This game, called "Genshin Impact", is a 5VS5 competitive tower defense game where you can play online with other players.

How is it? Is it familiar? I just want to ask you whether you are familiar with it or not.

I just want to ask you, can this mini-game keep players playing Genshin Impact even during its inactivity period?

Finished exploring the map?

It’s okay, just play "Genshin Impact". Isn’t it nice to play a game when you have nothing to do?

Naturally, this game is called "Genshin Impact", so the heroes in it are all card-drawing characters in Genshin Impact, and the hero backgrounds are ready-made, so there is no need to re-set them, and all players can definitely know the backgrounds of all heroes.

Whatever character you have in Genshin Impact, you will also unlock the same hero in this built-in mini-game.

Of course, if you build in such a small game, the trouble of making it will increase exponentially.

Not to mention the game capacity, just designing a character requires you to design two sets of skill mechanisms, which is troublesome enough - but in order to retain players and expand the value of the IP, this is completely worth it.

And this problem is not a problem for Ye. Anyway, Ye has already planned to spend the popularity directly from Baoer to build this mini-game.

Although his popularity is not enough now, it doesn’t matter. According to Ye’s calculations, once Liyue’s main storyline is over, Astraea will have accumulated enough popularity for him.

This mini-game will be officially launched in version 1.2.

Hmm? Why 1.2 and not 1.1, you ask?

Of course, it was because Ye learned through Baoer that, unlike what he remembered, in the planning of that old Kiana, the opening of the Liyue region and the Demon God quest were postponed to version 6.

In this case, the only option is to have the mini-game "Genshin Impact" appear as an activity in version 1.2.

Of course, these are small things.

It's just a casual game.

This time, Ye went to Inazuma mainly to plan his official debut.

After all, we can't really wait until the Fontaine version comes out, right? That's too far away.

Obviously, the sooner you gain popularity, the better.

However, you can't just appear randomly.

Whether it is the Mondstadt storyline or the Liyue storyline, the appearance of himself, the High Bishop of Fontaine, has not gained any popularity. Instead, it has only added confusion to the storyline and affected the players' perception. After all, his level of strength is not suitable for appearing in the storylines of these two countries.

In the Mond story, the protagonist is a traveler.

In the Liyue plot, the protagonist is everyone in Liyue.

In these two plots, if a strong person with strength comparable to that of a demon god appeared and stole everyone's limelight, that would obviously not be acceptable.

So in these two countries, I should just serve as a background board to make my presence felt.

On the contrary, Astraea can gain a lot of popularity as long as the plots of these two countries are arranged well - Ye already has a plan for this.

In short, there must be a reason why Ye chose Inazuma as his first appearance.

So he didn't stay in Liyue for too long. After discussing business with Ningguang, he relied on Ningguang's connections to find Beidou, then boarded Beidou's boat and smuggled directly to Inazuma.

Chapter 15 The Knights Templar

After solving the problem of the four winds guarding the temple, Ying finally learned the truth about the Wind Dragon from Lisa.

It turns out that the Wind Dragon is actually Tevarin, the East Wind Dragon, one of the Four Wind Guardians and one of Mondstadt's beliefs.

However, this belief has now been forgotten.

Once, Tevarin fought against the dragon Durin to protect Mondstadt, and finally fell into a deep sleep after defeating Durin.

The people of Mondstadt originally believed that the Dragon of the East Wind would awaken again when needed to protect Mondstadt, but in times of peace, the faith in the Guardians of the Four Winds gradually faded, and even the temples of the Guardians of the Four Winds were gradually abandoned.

Some speculate that this is why Tevarin hates Mondstadt and wants to destroy Mondstadt, which has forgotten him.

"Isn't this what you asked for?"

Because of Astraea, she watched the plot seriously for a rare time, and after reading the book given by Lisa, Axue couldn't help but complain out loud.

"Even the hero who once protected them can be forgotten. This Mondstadt is toxic! No wonder Lisa said she's embarrassed to explain herself as a Mondstadt native. I finally understand why the Knights don't want to defeat the Wind Dragon... Not bad, at least they have some sense of shame."

"It's just pitiful, Leah!"

"Exactly. Why should Leah be the one to suffer for the mistakes made by the Mond people?"

"Okay, stop talking. Just complain a bit. After all, Captain Qin was clearly feeling guilty about this before. She seemed to have already made up her mind to defeat the Wind Demon Dragon."

Seeing that the live broadcast room seemed to be getting out of rhythm, Axue quickly pulled the rhythm back.

"But Lisa is right. If we really defeat the Wind Dragon, Leah won't be happy when she wakes up and learns the truth about the Wind Dragon. So, let's continue the story and strive for a perfect ending for this incident."

There is basically nothing much to say about the subsequent plot development. Leia has been in a coma, and the protagonist, the Traveler, watched Leia's determination and regarded solving the Wind Dragon incident as something she must do. Then, with the joint efforts of all her companions, the Wind Dragon incident was successfully resolved.

If there is anything surprising in this plot, it must be the fact that Wendy is the God of Wind, right?

However, after knowing that the Wind Dragon was the guardian of the four winds, Axue had already guessed that the young man who was talking to the Wind Dragon and the mysterious voice that helped the traveler was Wendy, and he was 99% sure to be the God of Wind.

The remaining one percent is that MiHoYo might have some serious problems, and they don’t fill in the foreshadowing and have to come up with a twist.

Fortunately, miHoYo did not have any problems and filled in the foreshadowing normally.

Of course, there are some very interesting plots in the process.

For example, Wendy calls himself Barbatos but is despised by his own believers, for example, the leader Jean and Jean are not the same person, for example, the God of Wind has to steal his own Sky Harp, for example, the traveler's blood relative is actually the Prince (Princess) of the Abyss Cult, for example... the dignified God of Wind actually had his heart betrayed.

As the eighth executive officer of the Fatui of the Kingdom of Winter took away Wendy's Heart of God, Axue's live broadcast room exploded.

"Really? The Wind God can't even defeat an Ice God's subordinate?"

"Fuck you, lady, show me your health bar!"

"My Wendy!!"

"Now I finally understand why the Water God has bodyguards. It turns out that gods aren't necessarily all that powerful, right?"

In the previous plot, Wendy has accumulated a lot of popularity, so now seeing this scene, I wonder how many people feel furious.

Axue also felt aggrieved and was completely immersed in the plot.

But there was no way, this was simply a plot kill, even the God of Wind was killed, what could she, a traveler, do?

In the end, the traveler fell into a coma, and after waking up again, he went to the Wind Rising Land and had a final conversation with Wendy. The players also learned that the lady had left.

And Wendy suggested that the traveler's next stop be Liyue.

After hearing this, Axue, who was originally a little upset, immediately cheered up.

Liyue! A country modeled after China!

When following Amber to explore the continent of Teyvat in the PV, we finally got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of Liyue. The shock it gave people at that time is also one of the important reasons why Genshin Impact became so popular.

It would be fine if it were those games that were developed in a domestic circle, but for games like Genshin Impact that are directly aimed at the whole world, there is really no game that has been produced with China as the background. Western fantasy is always the theme, and Japanese culture has a stronger presence than Chinese culture.

A game with Chinese cultural background?

This sentence seems to give people a feeling of being out of place as soon as it is said.

Can Genshin Impact do it well?

Axue was both excited and nervous.

She hopes that Genshin Impact can be done well, so that the entire Chinese gaming industry can hold its head high when facing foreign countries.

But... the past history was there, so she really couldn't have too much confidence.

However, Axue has already made up her mind that as long as the result is not too bad, she will firmly support it.

Chinese players really need a game like this.

Amidst Ah Xue's complex anticipation, the conversation finally concluded, and the storyline of Chapter 1.0 officially concluded—huh? No?

Axue's eyes widened instantly. On the computer, as the conversation with Wendy ended, an animated short film was inserted directly.

The picture shows a lady walking quickly.

Obviously, she was leaving Mond as quickly as possible to avoid any accidents.

Perhaps this shouldn't have been a surprise.

But suddenly, the pupils of "Madam" Rosalyn shrank into pinholes.

This scene was portrayed in such detail, and coupled with the sudden acceleration of the BGM, the atmosphere was instantly filled to the brim. Axue and the audience in the live broadcast room were all nervous, excited, and expectant.

What's going on? Are the Knights of Favonius coming to intercept the lady?

However, Rosaline looked up, and the next moment, the perspective changed, and everyone could not help but open their mouths in astonishment as they saw the girl slowly floating down from the sky.

Axue was almost horrified and said in disbelief: "This this this this this this this this... Leah?!!!!"

Yes, Astraea.

Three pairs of pure white wings, majestic golden eyes, white and gold interwoven, pieces of clothing stuck to the body, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, and five white rings and white bracelets on the five fingers of the left hand and the pure white wrist linked together by a dazzling gold chain - all of this is completely different from Astraea.

However, that face and hair color were undoubtedly Astralia's.

What's going on? What's going on?

Ah Xue's head was full of question marks, and in the plot, Rosaline directly asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

The angelic girl, who looked exactly like Astraea, looked down at Rosaline with an indifferent gaze and spoke in a calm tone, "Themis, the Second Knight of the Templar Order, the Knight of the Sky. By order of the Supreme Bishop, we at Fontaine have accepted the Heart of the God of Wind."

"The Knights Templar? How come I've never heard of such an organization in Fontaine?"

Peng!!!!

There was no intention of talking any more, and Rosaline was directly knocked away.

After rolling on the ground for a few times, Rosaline stood up with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, supported herself on the ground with one hand, raised her head, and looked at the angel with disbelief.

"Impossible!! This kind of power is even comparable to the top three. How could there be such a powerful person in Fontaine besides the Supreme Bishop and the Supreme Inquisitor?!"

Rosaline was still in disbelief, but Themis raised her left hand lightly and pointed it at Rosaline. The white rings on her five fingers connected by a gold chain and the white bracelet also connected by a gold chain sparkled in the sunlight.

The next moment, the Ring of Wind directly imprisoned Rosaline's limbs and neck, forcing her to raise her head and chest with a painful look on her face, and slowly float up.

Then, a chess piece slowly floated out from Rosaline's body and landed on Themis' palm, where she held it up in the air with her right hand.

Themis lowered her eyes to look at the chess piece slowly spinning in her right palm and nodded slightly, "God's will is correct. With this, my mission in Mond has been accomplished."

"You... Supreme Bishop... what exactly do you mean?"

Rosalyn struggled in pain, but also said angrily:
