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

Page 268

Ordinary Hilichurls, anyone here, even Disia who has lost much of her fighting ability due to the cold, can be easily dealt with.

But if it's King Chuchu, then it's a bit more difficult.

The opponent's defense and attack power are both quite terrifying, not to mention that the King of Chuchu will also be accompanied by his followers.

Xu Guang nodded: "Then we need to be careful from now on, but don't worry, everyone, I'm here, so you don't need to worry about getting hurt."

Those who have witnessed him demonstrate his abilities understand what this means; those who haven't might mistake Xu Guang for a doctor, so this statement is reasonable.

As their exploration progressed, the climate became increasingly harsh.

Chapter 375: Don't all boys like baldness?

"We can't go any further."

Yura looked at the wind and snow and calmly made a judgment.

She was the least affected of everyone because she possessed the Eye of God of Ice, giving her a natural resistance to the cold.

But the others couldn't do it.

Especially those who use the Fire-type Divine Eye.

They felt that the flow of energy within their bodies was very sluggish.

Xu Guang glanced at the sky. It was already dusk, and night would soon fall. In the snow-capped mountains, the temperature would drop terribly once night fell. He nodded.

“That works too. Let’s set up camp here for today and set off again when it gets warmer tomorrow.”

As he spoke, he directed everyone to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow and set up tents.

He, on the other hand, was planning his upcoming itinerary.

Although the mission is to slay an evil dragon, wouldn't it be incredibly boring if all we did on this trip was this?

So he added two extra activities.

One is to defeat the Chuchu King, and the other is to defeat that giant boar king.

The first one can cultivate teamwork and coordination, and the second one can be eaten after killing the enemy.

After finding a good spot, Xu Guang took out the tents and set them up one by one.

However, this time I brought very few, only two.

He looked at the group of people in front of him and explained with a smile, "It's too cold. If we squeeze together, we can keep warm. What do you think?"

No one objected.

These people either knew his character or simply didn't care.

Keqing and Yola are prime examples of this.

The latter, rather than saying they don't care, is more accurate to say they are looking forward to it.

After making these arrangements, Xu Guang took out some barbecue and a bottle of emulsion when evening came.

While grilling the meat, he explained what he was holding.

"This is a cold-prevention ointment. I'll apply it for you after dinner, and I can also give you a massage to help relieve your frozen bodies."

Fischl, who knows nothing, is still looking forward to it, while Amber, who has experienced it all, is even more excited.

Ke Qing nodded indifferently, just like always.

She knew that going out with him would inevitably lead to her being taken advantage of; the only difference was the degree.

Whether to eat or go deeper into the conversation depends entirely on the other person's mood.

After finalizing the matter, everyone enjoyed their meal. After the meal, Xu Guang was the first to call Dixia over.

There's no way around it, this person is the most afraid of the cold.

Once inside the empty tent, Dixia dropped the pretense and laid her cards on the table.

It coiled around like an octopus and then launched a fierce attack on the wound on Xu Guang's neck.

The only difference is that the weapon is the tongue.

She felt a pang of heartache looking at the scars, but still stubbornly said, "You bastard, if you ever dare to wrong me again, I'll keep biting you!"

A threat that poses no threat whatsoever.

Xu Guang smiled and said, "You know me. It's impossible for me to only like one woman."

Dixia rolled her eyes: "I understand that, but everyone here tonight is someone you're involved with, right? You really are a womanizer."

Xu Guang smiled, pursing his lips.

This is just what he hasn't found yet; if he were to gather them all, there might be enough to play football.

"Let's not talk about that. This is a proper massage."

Hearing what the other person said, Dixia rolled her eyes and snuggled into their arms.

"Yes, yes, it's a proper massage, but I'm quite happy that you let me come first. Please have this masseur give me a massage."

As she spoke, Dixia leaned back and removed the things that were in the way.

In the dim space, the other person's powerful body seemed to shimmer with a layer of light.

Xu Guang coughed.

"It's a proper massage."

Dixia smiled faintly: "Okay, I know, I know what a proper massage therapist is, but I'm not a proper customer."

As she spoke, she grabbed Xu Guang's hand and placed it on her body.

It's hot and slippery.

Although living in the desert year-round inevitably makes the skin rough, some areas are completely covered up, making them appear smoother and more delicate.

Dixia hugged Xu Guang's arm and whispered in his ear, "Don't all men like being bald? Unfortunately, I'm not. But if you like, I can let you help me~"

Xu Guang gasped.

Not buddy.

Where did my proud desert mercenary go?

You're not just a pure demon.

Of course, it's the kind of demon with goat horns, a heart-shaped tail tip, and pink markings on its belly.

Seeing the bulging bag, Dixia smiled even more happily.

"Why does the massage therapist seem to be getting a little indecent? That's so strange~"

She tossed her hair, placed her hands behind her head, and perfectly showcased her strengths.

Xu Guang remained silent, only bowing his head.

……

Fischl was still excited; was she about to become a hero who slayed the dragon?

I thought I could only experience this in my dreams, but I never expected it to happen in real life.

That's great.

Moreover, looking at this team, she felt it was terrifyingly strong.

A scout knight, an elite knight, an astrologer, and a powerful warrior from Liyue.

With her, the princess who judges sins, it's hard to imagine how the evil dragon will ever win.

But while she was still thinking about it, she suddenly heard a strange sound.

She looked toward the source of the sound and paused for a moment.

Hmm, it feels strangely familiar.

It was a state of being both repressed and happy.

She glanced at the others around her and noticed that none of them seemed to think anything was wrong, so she silently kept her doubts to herself.

She wondered if this was what massage was like?

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Guang came out, and Dixia, supported by him, followed him out.

Fischl watched, finding it quite amazing.

The mercenary looked much healthier and her eyes were brighter than before she went in.

That's an amazing massage technique.

That's really impressive.

After draping a coat over Dixia, Xu Guang pondered for a moment.

"Fischl, you're next."

The chuunibyou girl nodded: "Alright, let this princess see your skills!"

Then I went in excitedly.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a strange odor.

Very fishy.

Huh?

She felt like she recognized the smell from somewhere.

Xu Guang followed him in shortly after. He first stretched his back, then gestured for Fischl to lie down.

Seeing the slight confusion in the girl's eyes, he laughed.

Previously in the dream world, Xu Guang set a restriction for the other party: those things would only be remembered when the other party returned to the dream world.

Once you return to reality, you'll forget everything.

This can be considered a form of protection.

That's why Fischl seems so confused right now.

After lying down, the chuunibyou girl looked at the pool of murky liquid next to her and frowned.

"What is this? It has a strange smell."

Chapter 376: Thirty hours later, even a stone would have turned to water.

Looking at the puddle of liquid on the ground, Xu Guang calmly explained, "It's antifreeze emulsion. You know, when you're massaging, you can't apply it all over, so the excess just dripped onto the ground."

Fischl nodded with some skepticism.

Antifreeze emulsion...is that how it works?

It looks so strange.

It's also a bit nauseating.

She didn't know why, but she reached out and touched it.

It's a bit sticky, not quite the texture of jelly, but pretty much the same.

So is it really an emulsion?

Fischl couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

She figured that since Xu Guang could pull so many of the people Guo Kai knew into his life, he probably wasn't a bad person.

Otherwise, they would have been arrested long ago.

So there shouldn't be any problem... right?

A growing unease gripped Fischl, and he lay down in the pungent tent, closing his eyes.

Xu Guang then began his operation.

Honestly, he genuinely wanted to apply lotion and massage these people this time.

As for payment, all I need is a little bit of tofu.

He wouldn't have done this if Dixia hadn't been in such dire straits.

You get it.
