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

Page 185

That's probably very difficult.

"I guess they wanted a change of pace."

As she made her assessment, Kujo wondered if she could play the role herself.

The results were encouraging.

Her identity itself gives her a natural advantage, so cosplaying as a mercenary is a piece of cake for her.

Anyway, this girl with dark blonde hair is unlikely to be eaten on her first try.

So, what should Xu Guang do if he wants to try it during the process of planning his trip?

Kujo smiled reservedly.

Then she can step forward and satisfy the other party.

Another small victory.

Chapter 258: Luckily, I'm here.

Among the shrines, the most reserved is Yomi-no-miya.

After accidentally entering the dream world some time ago, she discovered something terrifying.

That is, the important people you see in daily life, all gathered around a small table to enjoy tea.

And from time to time, he would say things that made her blush.

That's hard to imagine.

At first, she thought she was dreaming.

After the goddess's explanation, she understood that it was indeed a dream, but it was different from other dreams.

This is a complete world, and the one who rules it is actually the stall owner from that day!

Furthermore, they even explained themselves by saying that since they had seen the person named Xu Guang, something must have been done to him.

To be honest, because of preconceived notions, she had always had a good impression of Xu Guang.

But after listening to what these people say, I feel that the other person might not be a good person.

While she was struggling with this, someone said a few words to her and resolved her troubles.

She was a green-haired girl who often followed behind Arataki Ichito.

The other party said very calmly.

"Why should we care? Isn't the premise of the dream world a dream? Wouldn't it be exhausting to have to consider the future and the consequences when doing things in a dream?"

Xiaogong nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Since it's all just a dream anyway, it doesn't really matter if I do something about it.

If you have to worry about this and that even in your dreams, it will be very tiring.

After figuring things out, Xiaogong became much more open-minded, but he hesitated to come less often and wasn't as open-minded yet. He just found a quiet spot to watch with the others.

She looked at Xu Guang in the picture, her eyes sparkling.

If it's the shop owner in front of me, it doesn't seem so bad.

At least the other person is young and handsome; if it were someone ugly, she would definitely be a little repulsed.

So, boss, what will our next meeting be like?

Will you still lie to me?

As Xiaogong pondered, the scene before her was changing.

Xu Guang brought Dixia to Sumeru City, and the two stood outside the Order of the Church.

Dixia's expression wasn't very good.

This is the center of Sumeru, and also the place where the strongest forces are. If they can't find anyone here who can communicate normally with them, then Sumeru might... really be devoid of living people.

This is a terrible thing.

A desolate city, with only two people still alive.

However, Xu Guang didn't think that way; he smiled optimistically.

"We're going inside to read. If you don't say anything, that means you agree."

After saying that, he actually waited seriously for a while before going in.

Dixia stared wide-eyed at the other person's actions in disbelief.

No!

There's clearly no one inside, so who would answer you?

Xu Guang seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and shrugged: "You still have to have basic manners. You see, if they don't reply to me, it means it's okay. Besides, this is the Order of the Instruction. Aren't you curious about what it's like inside?"

Upon hearing this, Dixia shook her head: "I'm not curious."

She was genuinely not curious. In her view, the people here were arrogant and unapproachable, and no matter how well a child from the desert studied, they would never be recognized.

As someone from the desert, she was never going to be accepted from the start.

If that's the case, then why have any expectations?

Xu Guang hummed in agreement, then took out a pen and wrote four large characters outside the Academy of Teachings.

Education should be provided to all without discrimination.

Then he strode inside.

Dixia called out, "Wait a minute, we..."

Although she outwardly looked down on the Order Academy, in the eyes of the Sumerians, it was still the highest institution of learning, and only the most intelligent could enter.

In such circumstances, it's inevitable that there will be a filter.

Xu Guang turned around and waved his hand: "It's okay. Didn't you see what I wrote? The meaning of 'education for all' is that everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to be educated. If anyone has any objections, please let him stand up and confront me. I'll make sure he knows what a dirty trick is."

Dixia listened to the other person's words and couldn't help but chuckle.

Given the current situation, who would want to object?

However, since the other party had already said that, and was her employer, she had no choice but to go in.

There was nothing she could do.

And so, Dixia followed them inside.

As soon as she entered, the magnificent and luxurious scene stunned her.

This was her first time entering such a place. Most of the time, she would only appear in some old yurts and small taverns, and occasionally in her employer's home, but those were nothing compared to this place.

A faint hint of inferiority arose, but it quickly disappeared. Even though she came from a humble background, she never felt inferior because of her status.

Xu Guang appeared behind her without her noticing and patted her on the back.

"What are you waiting for? Go get whatever you want to see. I have my own things to do too."

Dixia stared blankly at the other person's back.

The other person didn't seem like a first-timer to her.

Xu Guang walked to a bookshelf, looked at the polluted air on it, and raised an eyebrow.

"The Order Academy has also been infiltrated. Although the aura is faint, leaving it here will definitely affect others. We should deal with it when we have the chance, and we should do justice to the Tree King's hard work."

Dixia picked up a book somewhat awkwardly. She had not received a systematic education, and what she was learning now was what her father had gone to great lengths to get for her.

Therefore, she couldn't quite understand some of the text in the book.

After watching for a while, she put it down.

She had dreamed of this place when she was very young. Now that she's inside, it is indeed quite magnificent, but it seems just so-so.

I always felt that it was somewhat flashy but impractical.

She doesn't really like it here.

Xu Guang picked out a few problematic books, marked them, and planned to have Dixia return to reality to resolve them later.

He then approached the other person and said, "It's right not to like it. Over the long years, the Order of the Fathers has become a strange place where even murderers can get in."

Dixia frowned: "How is that possible?"

Although she didn't quite agree with the Church's ideas, letting a murderer in was a bit too much.

Xu Guang shook his head: "That's just how it is. Luckily, I'm here."

Dixia didn't quite understand what he meant.

However, she thought the other person's confident demeanor was quite attractive.

Xu Guang tapped her forehead: "You should remember these things well, and you can deal with them later. This is also part of the mission. Of course, you don't have to do it if you mind."

Then he handed a token to the other party.

Good morning, have a wonderful day.

Dixia didn't quite understand what was going on, and then she felt her vision go black.

hum.

Something happened.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in bed, and a voice came from outside the door.

"Aren't you getting up yet?"

Chapter 259: I want to go!

He was a member of the mercenary group.

Dixia rubbed her head, feeling a bit throbbing. Thanks to her keen intuition honed through long training, she could tell that the people in front of her were real people, not just empty shells.

So what was that just now?

Dream?

No, this is too real.

The person in my palm still had some warmth left.

Moreover, she could almost smell the boy's minty scent on the tip of her nose.

She knew that some mercenaries would hypnotize themselves into so-called 'real' dreams for pleasure, where they would do whatever they wanted.

But she neither paid them any attention nor showed any interest, believing that those people lacked ambition and could not see the future.

But her own experience made her recall those events.

But some things still don't match up.

That means you need to prepare a lot in advance to enter a real dream state, including not only hypnosis but also various aromatherapy and drugs.

She couldn't possibly have those things around her.

Dixia was a little confused. She was neither a civil official nor a wise woman, and did not have such a quick mind.

But just as she was about to get up, her fingers touched something.

It was very hard and somewhat warm.

Dixia's eyes widened as she took out the object and stared at it in disbelief.

It was a token, a token with the two characters "Xu Guang" printed on it, and at the bottom of it was a simple line drawing of a smiley face.

Memories flooded back, and Dixia recalled what happened at the end of the story: the man marked the locations of some books for her and then told her to take the token to the Order House.

why?

She couldn't figure it out, but her intuition told her that the other person probably hadn't lied to her.

So, does having this token really allow her to enter the Academy of Teachings, which is the dream of countless students of Sumeru?

That's the most heavily guarded place in Sumeru.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?"

A scantily clad woman walked in. She had been a member of the group for several years and had a good relationship with Dixia. There was nothing wrong with dressing lightly in the desert, but this woman's attire was a bit too revealing.
