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

The little guy has no idea that Xu Guang already knows everything.

To be honest, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but now that things are like this, I'm afraid I can't escape a punishment.

Xu Guang beckoned Ke Li over, and once she arrived, he picked her up and asked gently.

"It's good that you didn't sneak out. I was worried that Qin would be worried if she couldn't find you."

After these words were spoken, the little girl fell silent.

Klee glanced at Wendy, who was pretending to admire the scenery, and then at Xu Guang, who was smiling. She hesitated before saying, "Um...actually, I am..."

Xu Guang put his hand on her lips: "Hmm, you snuck out, didn't you? But since you finally chose to tell the truth, I'll let you off this time. Come with me to deliver a pet later, and I'll take you back later. Don't worry, I'll talk to Qin properly and try to take you out to play again when we get downstairs."

Keli was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Xu Guang, you're the best!"

Wendy chuckled to herself.

It's normal for a child not to understand anything yet; you'll understand when you grow up.

Chapter 331: Let's Wait and See

"Hey, so you're really planning to give this thing to that little green-haired girl?"

Wendy was still somewhat incredulous.

This is an evil dragon!

Not to mention that dragons are the darlings of heaven and earth, each one born with immense strength, and then there's the catastrophe this evil dragon caused back then...

Xu Guang hugged Ke Li and flicked Wendy on the forehead again.

"If you say another word, I'll hang you up and pierce you later."

Wendy quieted down and didn't dare say a word.

Klee, however, became curious: "Hanging up...through? What does that mean?"

Xu Guang didn't hold back and flicked her on the forehead: "You'll understand when you grow up."

The group arrived at Sugar's residence, and Xu Guang pushed open the door.

The person inside saw him, blinked, and almost without hesitation, lifted his skirt and went to kiss him.

Xu Guang quickly stopped her, pointing at Xiao Keli, which finally made her give up.

Wendy clicked her tongue.

Just couldn't see it.

If even a small child has to be treated like this, I can't even imagine what would happen if there were no outsiders around. Would these two become the gods of war in the entrance hall?

But as soon as he thought that, he noticed Xu Guang's gaze, and quite obediently shrank his neck, revealing an awkward smile.

Xu Guang ignored the other party and went inside to discuss business.

"I'd like to give this thing to you to raise. If it misbehaves, feel free to hit it, don't hold back."

On the sofa, Xu Guang pointed to the little pet and said calmly.

Dulin wagged its tail, feeling utterly helpless. It was a proud and powerful creature, yet one day it had to beg for mercy from a group of people just to survive.

However, its new owner seems to have a gentle personality, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, its future life should not be particularly miserable.

Sugar nodded; she would never refuse any request from Xu Guang.

If this were in other eroge (adult erotica), she would be an adorable homebody who can be manipulated by anyone, or even have the attribute of being a Confucian scholar and a lovesick woman.

That's pretty good.

Xu Guang, seeing the other party nod, gave some instructions and then left. Before leaving, he gave the other party an upgraded talisman and told him that he would come back tonight.

Sugar was initially disappointed.

Thinking that we finally managed to meet, but we had to part again before we even got to do anything together.

When he heard that he would be back tonight, his eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly.

After sending Keli back, Xu Guang asked Wendy to keep an eye on her before heading to Sumeru.

Then I encountered the great sage who had just come out of the doctor's place.

……

"Shouldn't we be happy? Now that they've found me, we don't have to worry about more children going missing."

Xu Guang said calmly.

The great sage frowned, his expression not very pleasant.

His first impression of the person in front of him was that he was absolutely invincible, and now he even knew their entire plan.

Who is this?

Seeing the unease in the Great Sage's heart, Xu Guang said very calmly, "Why are you so wary? What you need is a god, and I just happen to have that power, don't I?"

The great sage sneered inwardly.

What he needed was a controllable god, not this reckless guy in front of him.

However, he couldn't possibly refuse.

Regardless of what their motives might be, even if they were, since he already knew their plan, he could only agree for now and see what happened next.

“Not just happy, but honored, Mr. Executive.”

The great sage bowed and spoke in a measured and deliberate manner.

Xu Guang saw his expression and understood what he was thinking, but he just shook his head and smiled.

"That's good. In that case, I'll go to Jingshan Palace to chat with your Little Grass God. Remember to contact me using this when the plan is almost complete."

After saying that, he threw a square black object over.

The great sage caught it, examined it carefully but found nothing amiss, so he put it in his pocket and planned to investigate it later.

He dared not use the things this person gave him with peace of mind; it was better to be cautious.

Xu Guang hummed in agreement: "Remember to inform my colleague, in case he does something again. I'm off."

Looking at Xu Guang, who had vanished without a trace, the Great Sage remained silent for a moment before taking out the object.

what is this?

I can't sense any elemental power, nor any other power.

But when you place your finger on it, it lights up and an icon appears.

If he's not mistaken, this is how he finds the other person.

"That's really amazing..."

Bazar was first a researcher, and then a great sage. Now he really wanted to take this thing apart to see what its structure was and why it was different from most communication devices on the market.

However, the most important thing right now is to find the doctor and tell him this information.

Back in the secluded laboratory, the Great Sage looked at the Doctor, who was still debugging the machines, and said coldly, "The core has been found."

Without looking up, the doctor said, "Oh, it must be difficult for our great sage. Whose child is this? Has the consciousness been cleansed? I told you before, if the core has too much self-awareness, there's no guarantee that something won't go wrong."

Hazard scoffed, "He's not someone's kid, he's your colleague, the sixth seat of the Fools you've been talking about..."

Before he could finish speaking, the doctor interrupted him.

"Xu Guang."

Putting down his work, the PhD student found it quite interesting.

His colleague disappeared after first seizing the Heart of God and was often nowhere to be found. If it weren't for the lady vouching for him, he would have gone to look for him long ago.

Unfortunately, they were completely lost in Liyue.

This also annoyed him.

How dare the test subject escape control?

It's back now, interesting.

While the doctor was lost in thought, the great sage was also observing the other's expression.

anger?

No, it's anger.

interesting.

How could one have such emotions in the face of such a being?

That was a person more terrifying than a god. When he first faced him directly, he almost knelt down.

Don't think that the Great Sage has little combat power. Although he is a researcher and does not have the Divine Eye, he can still easily take on a few of those so-called young people.

Thus, he didn't dare to have the slightest thought of resisting Xu Guang.

What does it mean that a PhD student would have such emotions?

There are only two possibilities: either his strength is even more terrifying than Xu Guang's, or they are not talking about the same person at all, or the sixth seat that the doctor thinks of is not Xu Guang at all.

However, the great sage did not voice his speculation.

He laughed. Is he that familiar with the doctor?

They were just collaborators who distrusted each other.

Rather than telling the other party, he prefers to keep this as a trump card.

Since Xu Guang was willing to seek him out instead of the doctor, doesn't that prove that the other party doesn't trust the doctor?

He might be able to profit from this.

"Now that the core has been found, you don't need to look for any other test subjects."

The great sage said calmly.

The professor then asked, "Where is he?"

The great sage became even more certain of his conjecture, and then smiled.

"Your colleague? You don't know him? You expect me to tell you? I can only tell you that the plan will not have any problems. Don't worry, you will see him when the time comes."

The doctor chuckled and said, "Then let's wait and see. I hope so."

When two people can't see eye to eye, there's no point in saying a word. They were just one step away from a complete falling out, and the atmosphere was so tense that neither of them wanted to say another word.

So they each went their own way to do their own thing.

Chapter 332: Naxi Da's Grievance

Meanwhile, Xu Guang arrived at Jingshan Palace, looked at the surrounding decorations, and nodded while giving an objective evaluation.

"It's a bit extravagant. There are still so many people in the desert who don't have enough to eat. But it's normal. After all, this is the abode of the gods. If it looks shabby, then naturally no one will respect it."

After walking a few steps forward and seeing that no one was there to greet him, Xu Guang sighed.

"How could you be so cold? It's really heartbreaking, isn't it, Nasita?"

A figure appeared in the air, and a little white-haired girl made a dazzling entrance.

Nasita looked at the guy who had reappeared, her little face full of wariness.

"It's you? And what brings you here this time?"

Xu Guang answered frankly: "Why did I come? Of course, it's to take your place. Your people have a lot of resentment towards you."

Nasita frowned, pondering the other person's words carefully, and then shook her head.

"No, that's not what you want. I can sense that."

Xu Guang raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected the little guy to be able to see through it, but it didn't matter.

"Okay, I misspoke. I came here to have a talk with you."

Nasida asked curiously, "Chat with me? Why?"

Xu Guang continued, "I see you're all alone and feel so lonely. I'm planning to help you alleviate this problem tonight."

The malice in his words was made without any attempt to conceal it. Little Grass God felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the evil in the other person's smile.

"What are you going to do?"
