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

Xu Guang shrugged, then thoughtfully pulled out a pack of tissues from somewhere.

"Okay, okay, you didn't cry, but you should still wipe it off first, there are other people coming later."

Rosalyn grinned: "I don't want your stuff!"

Xu Guang laughed.

Damn it, you've spoiled him rotten. Do you really think he's some kind of good person?

Xu Guang didn't stand on ceremony and stepped forward, grabbing Rosalin's hands with one hand.

With the other hand, she explored downwards and easily separated them.

"Now you have two choices: accept it or be filled into a strange shape by me and then accept it."

Rosalyn was caught off guard by the sudden move and didn't react for a moment, but she quickly put on a calm act and said...

"If you've got the guts, then come and try!"

Xu Guang is the kind of person who responds to gentle persuasion but not to force. He is not easily threatened; if you dare to say something, he will dare to do it.

So he ripped it off with one hand and sneered, "Last chance."

Rosalyn held her neck high; aside from anything else, she at least didn't lose in terms of momentum.

"Who's afraid of you!"

What happened next was more normal, with all sorts of "pfft pfft" and "woo woo woo" sounds...

The woman leaned against the rock face, her mask, meant to conceal her scars, slipped off. She tried to pick it up, but the person behind her didn't give her a chance.

A stronger surge interrupted her thoughts.

My mind went blank, and my skin was covered in dust mixed with sweat.

After a while, she collapsed weakly to the ground, her legs barely able to close.

It's because it's been stretched too long.

After finishing, Xu Guang squinted his eyes contentedly.

Everyone can see that he came here simply to check on Rosalyn's situation and see if there was anything he could do to help, but her personality is too awkward.

That's it.

Seeing the redness and bruises on Rosalin's body, Xu Guang snapped his fingers and updated her status.

Although he doesn't use this often, the clown from the executive officer's saga will be arriving with the power of the Ice Queen, so it's best to act normally.

The woman, who had recovered, was panting heavily, her body trembling slightly.

She looked at Xu Guang, her emotions filled with hatred and anger.

"You bastard, I'm going to..."

Xu Guang handed the other person a new coat, then said frankly, "I gave you the choice, you chose this yourself, and you weren't feeling very comfortable just now. I was indeed the one who took the initiative in the first half, but you were the one who initiated the second half..."

"enough!"

Rosalyn interrupted him, her face flushed crimson, and took the coat as if she were giving up, then lay down on the ground.

She didn't think too much about it. At first, she was indeed in a lot of pain, but in the second half, she thought that since she was going to die anyway, why couldn't she feel comfortable for a while?

Although... I feel a little sorry for Rustan.

In her early years, she loved to sing in the squares of Mondstadt, and it was there that she met Rustan, the vice-commander of the Knights of Favonius, who was known as the Young Wolf.

One is an innocent and eager-to-learn young girl, and the other is an upright and honorable knight.

The two naturally sparked a connection, and they made a promise to be together in the future.

Rosalyn was drawn to the flawless world the other described and resolved to study in Sumeru, hoping to change everything once she had learned her skills.

But when she returned home, everything had changed.

The invasion of the Abyss led to Rustan's death.

We had everything agreed upon, but before we could do anything, it was over.

What we don't have is always the most beautiful.

Rosalyn and the other person were more than friends at the time, but not quite lovers.

We can officially be together once she comes back.

But everything is gone.

So she went crazy.

Chapter 309: Xu Guang, Join the Fools!

All your hopes and dreams have shattered before your eyes. If you were in that situation, what would you do?

Anyway, from that moment on, the lady felt an intense loathing for the abyss and ugliness, and was willing to pay any price to eliminate them.

This is why the original executor of the Fools—the Jester—chose her.

Such pure fire of revenge often blossoms into even more beautiful flowers.

Recalling what had happened, the woman felt a tightness in her chest.

They had promised to be together forever, but not only did they not keep their promise, they also gave themselves to a stranger instead, and the stranger was incredibly rude to them.

This is truly... an unexpected turn of events.

Xu Guang didn't think too much about it. He stretched and helped Rosalin straighten her clothes.

"Since you're already here, you might as well make the best of it. You'll probably have an interview later, so it's better to be clean."

Rosalyn was still in a daze. She paused for a moment and asked, "You kept saying someone was coming to see me. Who is it?"

Xu Guang truthfully replied, "He is the messenger of the gods of the Winter Kingdom, named Clown. You will find out soon enough."

……

"They are indeed hard to find, but such talent is quite suitable for the Fools."

In the dense forest, the clown calmly searched for Rosalind's scent, his tall figure like an iron tower.

Although the Fools have already taken shape, they still need to take in fresh blood. A stubborn and powerful person with a burning desire for revenge is simply tailor-made for them.

He hoped the negotiations would go smoothly; he hated trouble and didn't want to simply eliminate the other party.

The power of the Ice Queen in his palm was guiding him.

The only strange thing is that the meeting place the Queen originally mentioned shouldn't be here.

However, the difference isn't that significant.

It's likely that the other party encountered some kind of accident.

The clown never thought about what would happen if the person he was recruiting died.

If that's the case, he can only say that such a piece of trash is unfit to be an executive officer.

Following the directions, they arrived at a cave, and the clown went inside without hesitation.

As the strongest being in winter besides the Queen, he fears no enemy, and dares to even challenge gods.

However, after entering the cave, the scene before him left him somewhat bewildered.

Marble floors, a warm and cozy fireplace, and some documents laid out on a black table. The person he was looking for sat opposite him, next to someone he didn't recognize at all.

what's the situation?

A trap?

This is deep in the mountains and forests. There isn't even a decent dirt road outside the cave. How were these things transported in?

But the atmosphere doesn't feel right.

While the clown was still filled with suspicion, Xu Guang was already smiling and calling out.

"Come on, the interview is about to start, we're just waiting for you."

The clown frowned, looking at the enthusiastic man with a rather unpleasant expression, but still sat down.

He was curious to see what tricks the other party could come up with.

Seeing the clown take his seat, Xu Guang handed him a brief introduction, which he had written based on Rosalin's experiences. It was written in a hurry and there weren't many pages, but there were still four or five pages filled with text.

There's no way around it, this Flame Witch is truly hardworking, and what she's done is quite significant.

The clown picked up the resume, and his furrowed brows relaxed a little.

A meticulous and well-organized schedule always puts him in a good mood. After carefully reviewing the situation, he decided to have his subordinates do the same.

Seeing that the other party had already picked it up and was reading it, Xu Guang began to speak eloquently.

"Sir, as you can see, my Rosalyn is an exceptionally talented individual. I presume you're also considering bringing her into the team. How about we discuss compensation?"

After listening, the clown nodded hesitantly.

He was indeed there to recruit the other party, so it's understandable that he would discuss compensation.

Besides, this kind of environment is quite suitable for conversation.

So the clown, with a straight face, nodded and said, "Then let's get straight to the point: what do you want to get, and what are you willing to give in return?"

Xu Guang smiled and said, "We definitely need to have the five social insurances and one housing fund, and housing should also be guaranteed. Although my wife Rosalin doesn't care about the environment, she would definitely be happier if she could have a house in the city center."

The clown nodded, then voiced his question: "What are the five social insurances and one housing fund?"

He understood the second half of the sentence; wasn't it just about houses?

What the other party said makes sense. An executive officer definitely needs to be provided with an apartment, otherwise, why would he have to rent one?

That's ridiculous.

So, during the friendly talks between the two sides, Rosalyn, the person in question, looked completely bewildered.

What the hell?

What did she do?

She was about to join this inexplicable organization, and she had only recently learned how good its name was.

And has anyone asked for her opinion?

The two guys over there hit it off immediately and got more and more excited as they talked.

Does anyone really care about her?

Xu Guang was very happy because chatting and bragging was quite relaxing, and the clown was even happier.

He never imagined that anyone could be so aligned with the Fools' ideology, or even more radical than him.

For example, they might keep those evil abyssal creatures in captivity and squeeze every last drop of value from them. Or they might use a strategy of befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones, winning over some while crushing others, in order to ensure that future plans don't go wrong.

If a developing organization is full of conservatives, it's doomed.

During their conversation, he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him with new respect, especially his thoughts on warfare, which perfectly expressed his own inner thoughts.

He had never spoken so openly about waging war against other nations because he was the chief of the Fools and the envoy of Her Majesty the Queen.

He couldn't betray that trust, so he could only take a more cautious approach to carry out the operation, but deep down he was a complete warmonger.

The clown relaxed and earnestly promised, "Xu Guang, join the Fools! I can grant you anything you ask for, whether it's the so-called five social insurances and one housing fund, or anything else. Join us, for the sake of humanity's future and everyone's ideals!"

Seeing the other person's excited expression, Xu Guang nodded modestly: "I don't have any problems. In fact, I've always looked forward to it. It would be best if it could be like this. But aren't we discussing Rosalin's matter today? Let's talk about that first."

Having said that, the clown turned to look at Rosalyn with some regret.

Comparing goods will only lead to discarding them; comparing people will only lead to ruin.

Having seen pearls and jade, he had no interest in this fine wood.

Combat effectiveness can always be improved, but ideology and strategic vision are not so easy to cultivate.

Compared to Xu Guang, Rosalin doesn't really have any advantages other than being stronger.

Chapter 310: The Modified Eyes

After some deliberation, the clown decided to talk to Rosalyn.

At least I'm with this guy named Xu Guang. What if there's something that will catch his eye?

Unfortunately, after a brief conversation, the clown discovered that the other party was only somewhat extreme and was generally a conservative.
