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

"How have you been lately? You seem to be having a tough time. Do you want to go back and stay for a few days?"

As Xu Guang said this, he naturally pulled Gan Yu into his arms, and she did not resist. After a little hesitation, she gave in.

Clearly, Gan Yu didn't know why she was like this either, but a voice in her head told her that it was nothing, and that it was reassuring, wasn't it?

The fatigue of the past few days melted away in the other person's arms. Gan Yu shook her head: "I've been a bit busy lately, let's wait a few more days."

Xu Guang shrugged and nodded nonchalantly: "Okay, we'll call Shen He back then. It's not safe for her to be out there alone."

Gan Yu immediately understood what she meant: "No, she wouldn't hit someone randomly."

Xu Guang nodded and said, "That would be best."

Seeing the seemingly oblivious interaction on the other side, Ke Qing's lips twitched, and she let out a cold laugh.

"So you came here just to do this? And to bully others on the side? That's exactly the kind of thing you would do."

Xu Guang could clearly sense the jealousy in his voice. He chuckled and patted his other leg: "There's still room here, want to come together?"

Ke Qing's smile held even more coldness.

Are you still daydreaming?

Ningguang watched the three talking and opened her mouth to speak.

What should she say?

Why does it seem like she's the outsider?

Should she leave?

Xu Guang clearly noticed the change in the other woman's expression, smiled, and said, "Miss Ningguang, I've come to tell you that Ye Lan has gone to a wonderful place and may not be coming back."

Ningguang's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she gritted her teeth as she asked, "Who exactly are you? And what did you do to Yelan? Where is she now?"

If she wasn't mistaken, the so-called wonderful place couldn't possibly be heaven...

Xu Guang smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's my home."

Ningguang: "...?"

Ke Qing covered her face, indicating that she knew it.

Once this scoundrel appears, someone is bound to suffer.

She knew Ye Lan and had met her a few times. When the other party mentioned her name, she guessed who she was.

Ningguang realized she was being teased, took a deep breath, and asked, "So what exactly is your purpose?"

Chapter 228: The Price Was Appropriate

"Purpose?"

Xu Guang let out a cryptic laugh, his expression subtle: "If I said I just wanted to let you know and then catch up with Gan Yu, you probably wouldn't believe me, would you?"

When Gan Yu heard this, she focused entirely on the sentence that was said later.

Have you been looking for her for a long time?

Specialized or...?

Doesn't that mean...

Thinking of this, she blushed slightly.

Keqing, however, noticed this keenly and clicked her tongue.

You blush like a bubble teapot!

Didn't they say they were coming to inform us?

Ningguang, just as he said, did not believe him and looked at him with a serious expression.

As things stand, it seems that the others, apart from her, know each other, or at least have had contact with each other.

Yelan was sent by her to the stronghold of the Fools to obtain important information in preparation for the impending descent of the Demon God.

So this person is a member of the Fools and is on their side?

There were too few known clues, so Ningguang couldn't make a good judgment. However, if the other party was really an enemy, Keqing and Ganyu should have taken action long ago, instead of flirting with the other party here.

After calming down, Ningguang straightened her posture and asked solemnly, "So, Your Excellency, what exactly do you want?"

Xu Guang smirked, rubbed Gan Yu's waist, making her blush, and then slowly said, "I'm not your enemy, so you don't need to worry so much. If you really want to talk about it, you can treat me as a businessman. As long as you pay some price, you can choose anything you want. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ke Qing. She has made a deal with me."

Ningguang listened to the other person's words with some disbelief in her heart.

Anything you want?

Even the Rock King Emperor wouldn't dare say such a thing, yet the other party dared to exaggerate so much.

Is this just boasting, or is it actually true?

Thinking of this, Ningguang looked at Keqing to ask for confirmation, and Keqing, being looked at like that, immediately remembered what she had encountered before.

Although the process wasn't pleasant, she did get what she wanted, and the other person's incredible abilities seemed to truly allow her to obtain most of the things she desired.

So he nodded with difficulty.

Ningguang's expression changed. She knew Keqing's character; at least she wouldn't say such things carelessly.

This means that this person at least has some strength to back up his words.

interesting.

Ningguang narrowed her eyes and asked, "What price do I need to pay?"

Xu Guang chuckled: "It's just some insignificant stuff. I'm not like some devils who want your soul or flesh."

Ningguang continued, "What do I need to get Yelan back?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.

If she wasn't mistaken, then Ye Lan was most likely experiencing something at the other party's house that would get her dirty and cause her belly to swell up.

In this situation, if she wanted to get the other person back, she couldn't think of any other way but to offer herself to the demon.

Xu Guang simply smiled and said, "In that case, the price to pay would be much higher. Everything should be done step by step. After all, this is your first transaction. How about I help you resolve the riot in the abyss and that giant serpent from the ruins?"

Ningguang let out a soft "Ah."

Based on her simple assessment of the situation, she concluded that Ye Lan was not in mortal danger, since both Gan Yu and Ke Qing were decent people.

If someone were to endanger the lives of their colleagues, they certainly wouldn't remain indifferent.

And now you're telling me that bringing back someone whose life is in danger will come at a price greater than dealing with the Abyss Riot and the Ancient Serpent.

She couldn't quite understand what she was saying.

That's an abyss! That's an ancient creation!

Seeing the other party's reaction, Xu Guang turned to Ke Qing, pretending not to know, and asked, "Didn't you tell her what I need and the principles of the deal?"

Ke Qing's expression froze, and she remained silent for a long while.

Ningguang looked at the other person curiously, while Keqing hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell the other person. So she pulled Ningguang to a small house on the side.

Watching the two leave, Xu Guang shrugged, then took out a cherry-like fruit from his pocket and fed it to Gan Yu.

"This is very sweet, want to try some?"

Gan Yu nodded as she looked at the red fruit, opened her mouth and took a bite, feeling the sweetness burst in her mouth, and squinted her eyes contentedly.

"Good times..."

Xu Guang laughed and rubbed the other person's face: "I'm glad you like it. It's just that you work so hard every day. Do you need me to get you a machine that can handle your work? That way you'll have more free time."

Gan Yu hesitated for a moment, then snuggled against Xu Guang's chest a few times.

"No need, this is my job."

"Alright, but I'll still get one for you. It'll make it easier for you to rest then. By the way, how's Xianyun doing lately? It's been so long since we last met."

Gan Yu hummed in agreement for a moment: "It should be alright. I haven't been back for a while either, but she rarely goes out, so I don't think she'll run into any problems."

Xu Guang nodded and lifted Gan Yu's chin: "Come on, give me a kiss."

"Someone..."

"They'll need a while longer. Ningguang is rather conservative and won't accept it so quickly."

"Um... wait a minute..."

……

"Wait, what did you say?"

Ningguang listened to the person in front of her in disbelief, feeling that her worldview had been greatly shaken.

Ke Qing nodded slowly: "That's right. What you saw at my house last time was also done by the other party."

Ningguang raised her hand to interrupt him: "What do you mean by 'last time I went to your house'! There was clearly no one there then!"

"You couldn't see him then..."

Ningguang fell silent.

She suddenly understood many things: why Ke Qing was able to obtain so much information, why Ke Qing would mysteriously disappear for a period of time, and why she was often easily fatigued.

She initially thought the other person was busy with work, but now she realized, they were busy...

Forget it, there's no point in saying anything more now.

"So it's really as you say? Can the other party really do it?"

Ke Qing nodded with absolute certainty this time: "That's right, it seems like the other party knows everything. As long as you're willing to pay the price, you can get what you want."

Ningguang pondered for a long time, remaining silent.

It's a very worthwhile deal; she only needs to do some things that are inappropriate for children to solve most of the problems.

Moreover, according to Keqing, it wasn't too bad at first; at most, it was just hand, foot, and mouth disease.

She'll only be eaten when she really needs to deal with a big problem; otherwise, she'll just be given small toys.

feasible!

A glint of light flashed in Ningguang's eyes. She had climbed up from the very bottom, so she possessed the essence of a businesswoman.

That means she can indeed sell some if the price is right.

Chapter 229: Did I disturb you?

"In that case, let's go back first."

Ningguang covered her head, her thoughts in disarray. No matter what, today's events had been a huge shock to her.

Imagine you turn your head and a strange person appears. This person waves his hand and pulls the organization's highly respected secretary onto his lap, then laughs strangely while pinching her cheek.

Turning around again, you discover that even your reliable colleague is in contact with the other party, and that your trustworthy subordinate has been abducted.

Before you can even process what's happening, your colleague tells you not to worry, as long as you sleep with the other person, you can get what you want in return.

Is this some kind of abstract story of depravity?

Ningguang let out a heavy, long sigh, her eyes filled with confusion. She wasn't sure if she should do this, but the value she had just weighed told her otherwise.

This is a sure-fire way to make money.

Simply sleeping with someone can get you most of what you want.

There's probably nothing better in the world.

Now, all she needs to think about is how to convince herself to accept it.

Yes, reason tells her that she will definitely not lose money by doing this, but emotion tells her that if she sells her precious things like a transaction, then what is the difference between her and those girls who have fallen in the alley?

Oh, there are still some.

Those people may have more than one guest.

According to Ke Qing, this person named Xu Guang seems to have a rather severe case of mysophobia, making it impossible for her to have contact with other men.
