In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

……

"I am back again?"

Farusan strolled down the street, smiling happily.

Great.

She had read about this architectural style in a book; it was from the Inazuma region.

Although she didn't quite understand why a Sumeru person would come to Inazuma, she didn't care at all.

She headed straight toward where there were people.

She remembered... that place was called a shrine.

Upon entering the shrine, everyone was busy with their own things. The green-haired girl, who seemed serious and unsmiling, was flipping through various books. Farusan felt that this girl was a truly good student.

Even though I don't have to worry about survival here, I still study hard.

Meanwhile, two purple-haired girls are huddled together playing video games—how decadent!

Meanwhile, a blonde girl with bandages wrapped around her chest is setting off fireworks with a white-haired man with a refined air.

There's nothing we can do about it.

There were too many people, and their names were too complicated for her to figure out in a short time.

There was only one person she knew very well: the pink-haired fox lady with an exceptionally refined demeanor and an enigmatic air.

"Yae no Miko, I've arrived!"

The goddess, who was munching on snacks in a corner, clicked her tongue in amazement at the newcomer's excited expression.

They really are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers.

It's just that Xu Guang wasn't around during this time; otherwise, this newcomer would definitely have been dragged over to do some strange and unusual things.

I wonder if the other party will still be able to maintain this mindset by then.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

The divine child stood up and sighed, "What's wrong, my little senior Farusan?"

Upon hearing this address, Farusan blushed.

At first, unaware of the situation, she asked the other person to call her "senior." Later, she discovered that the fox in front of her was an ancient monster who had lived for countless years.

He's much older than her.

Listening to this senior now always feels somewhat jarring.

After giving an awkward laugh, Farusan coughed twice: "Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. I still haven't figured out what exactly your so-called price is."

The goddess nodded and said, "I remember you were a teacher."

Fiona nodded: "Yes, a teacher who studies mechanical engineering."

The goddess smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with research. If I remember correctly, you told me before that you hadn't found a student you liked yet?"

The mention of this woke Farusan up, and she said with a bitter face, "Yes, those students think that mechanical engineering is useless and have very little interest in it. I have never been able to find someone to pass it on."

The divine child nodded: "Then you'd better be prepared."

Farusanne asked, puzzled, "What preparations?"

The divine child curled the corners of his lips: "Find a student who meets all your requirements, but there may be a few problems in the teaching process."

Farusan's eyes widened: "Isn't this a good thing? Why is it called a price to pay?"

Looking at the other person's innocent appearance, the goddess shook her head.

"You'll know later."

As they were talking, the Divine Child suddenly sensed something, coughed, and after sending the other person away, looked behind her with a hint of resentment.

"New faces are arriving, and the old ones are about to be forgotten again~"

Xu Guang stepped forward and tapped her on the forehead.

"What are you talking about? Did I not spend time with you or something?"

The divine child covered his forehead and pouted.

"Hehehe, if it weren't for the arrival of new people, our busy person might not even have had time to come back."

Xu Guang rolled his eyes: "Isn't this saving the world?"

The divine child leaned closer, his eyes sparkling.

"I know you too well. If you wanted to solve this, you would have done so already. You're just trying to get some food."

Xu Guang coughed.

This is true.

However, he is indeed saving the world.

However, he quickly calmed down and rubbed the goddess's face.

"Hey you, how did you spoil the plot?!"

The goddess was completely disoriented from being kneaded. She finally managed to stand up and mumbled, "I was wrong, are you going to punish me?"

Xu Guang sensed a hint of expectation in his voice.

Damn it.

Why is the Divine Child becoming less and less afraid of me?

It seems to be losing its deterrent effect.

It seems I'll have to give them a big surprise then.

Seeing Xu Guang deep in thought, the divine child shuddered.

"Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Whether the other party agrees or not, you can achieve your goal.

But this situation only means that the other party wants to do something drastic to her; let's just leave it at that.

Chapter 379: Is this what you call lacking talent?

Xu Guang smiled as he watched the God Child flee in disarray.

This guy...

It's really hard not to like it.

It's scumbag, but it's also very likable.

However, now that the newcomer has arrived, he should prepare properly and have enough fun before holding a welcome party.

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

On the other side, Farusan, who had been diverted, sat under a cherry blossom tree, holding a string of tricolor dumplings in her hand.

This was something she had never eaten before in Sumeru; it was sweet, and she liked it very much.

She liked many things about this place.

Here, she also showed ideas that were different from those of ordinary people.

An ordinary person might think of staying in this paradise-like place, but Farusian was more concerned with how to transform Sumeru into something like that.

She is a scholar, but more importantly, she is a Sumeru person.

Only they know their own affairs.

The various contradictions in Sumeru piled up, growing ever larger, until there was no turning back.

What is urgently needed now is a change.

For the sake of her ideal world, she felt she needed to gather some allies.

"Hello, are you alone?"

Hearing the sudden sound, Farusan turned her head and saw a handsome boy.

Most importantly, it's about temperament.

It's really, really good.

Farusan coughed, as if to put on airs.

"Yes, what is it?"

Xu Guang looked at the other person, who was small, and smiled with his eyes narrowed, saying, "Do you mind me sitting here? I heard that you are a scholar who studies mechanical science, so I'm a little curious."

In response to this question, Farusanne offered a small correction: "It's classical mechanics."

Xu Guang nodded: "I see. I'm sorry, I don't really know much about this."

It was just a casual remark, but seeing that the other party apologized, Farusan felt a little embarrassed.

"No need to apologize, it's really nothing..."

Over a hundred years ago, this subject was quite popular, but now, forget about it.

No one will continue to uphold this outdated academic style. The study of institutional science is slow to progress, and the academy is unwilling to increase its investment, which will only lead to a vicious cycle.

But she had no choice.

She was just a teacher with some honorary titles; she had no real say in anything.

Seeing that the person in front of him looked a little disappointed, Xu Guang stretched out his hand and then opened his palm in front of the other person.

Looking at the candy in the other person's palm, Farusan snorted, "That's so childish. I'm not a child."

But I still obediently accepted the candy.

Xu Guang sat down next to her and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better now?"

Farusan nodded: "Much better, but what's your name?"

"Xu Guang."

Upon hearing the name, Farusan wore a thoughtful expression; she felt as if she had heard the name somewhere before.

What's strange about that?

But none of that mattered. She looked him up and down, then remembered the divine child's instructions and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to study mechanical engineering?"

Xu Guang nodded readily: "If possible, of course."

There is something to learn in every world.

While Teyvat may not be as advanced as the previous world in some technologies, its alchemy and other fields are far ahead.

He was also hoping to improve his little toys.

There's no harm in learning it.

Upon hearing this answer, Farussan fell silent.

She remembered the price the divine child had told her, and then looked at the person in front of her.

If students also consider appearance, then the other party is undoubtedly qualified.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

In terms of temperament, he also perfectly meets her requirements.

Not everyone who studies mechanical engineering is a gear tinkerer or oil grease gunner.

If the student's talent is sufficient, then they certainly meet her criteria for accepting students, but in that case...

What about the price the divine child mentioned?

She doesn't believe in free lunches.

But then again, if you miss out on someone, who knows how long it will take to meet the next one who satisfies you?

It's a big gamble.

Looking into the other person's eyes, Farusan stood up.

"Xu Guang, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
