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

Page 81

But for some reason, Xu Guang felt that he had lost his initiative, as if he was being led around by the other party.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but when Xu Guang looked at Ling Hua soaking in the water, he felt that he hadn't really lost out.

After all, looking like this, it's as if it's been heavily injected with something; its skin color is almost unrecognizable.

With a sigh, Xu Guang looked at the still unconscious person, put on his clothes, and silently left.

This can't go on; he needs to change.

Since Ling Hua is like this, then don't blame him for being impolite!

……

"Travelers are amazing!"

Paimon flew in mid-air, looking at the defeated dragon before him, and sighed with emotion.

While the busker's help played a part, it's undeniable that the traveler also contributed significantly.

The traveler, leaning against a stone slab, gasped for breath: "It's good that it's over..."

She never expected to encounter something like this in Mondstadt. If she had known, she would have gone somewhere else first, and maybe she wouldn't have had to see that guy.

The traveler touched the collar around his neck, his expression not looking too good.

This thing is very useful; it can block damage, enhance elemental power, and accelerate the recovery of strength. However, the side effect is that every time she uses it, she feels restless and uncomfortable, and needs to release that pent-up energy.

At first, one finger was enough, but after Stormterror was defeated, the Traveler felt that some auxiliary tools might be needed.

Otherwise, with her like this, let alone fighting, even traveling would be a problem.

Seeing the traveler's reaction, Paimon did not disturb him further.

As someone who was close to the other party, she knew about those things and sometimes even helped them out.

After all, being small has its advantages.

Her arms are very flexible!

Although she couldn't help the Traveler in combat, she could in other ways, so Paimon hummed to herself.

Unexpectedly, someone patted her on the back.

"Why are you so happy? Have you discovered your potential to become a cup yourself?"

Paimon was momentarily stunned and somewhat puzzled.

What does "potential to become a cup" even mean? What does that even mean?

Turning around, she found the great demon king standing behind her.

“Wow!?”

Paimon was terrified and quickly hid behind the traveler.

That's right, she nicknamed Xu Guang "The Great Demon King" because in her mind, only someone like him would act that way.

Looking at the emergency food that was flying around in a shaky, stumbling manner, Xu Guang couldn't help but chuckle.

While it's quite amusing to tease a fool, his purpose this time wasn't with that person.

Xu Guang knelt down in front of the traveler and raised his hand to refresh the traveler's status.

"Did you have fun?"

Ying's lips twitched.

She fought so fiercely, how can you say she had fun?!

However, she couldn't afford to offend the other party, so she might as well say it if they wanted to; after all, she wouldn't lose anything because of it.

Seeing her expression, Xu Guang took out the gift he had prepared for her.

It's a golden cudgel with a motor.

Xu Guang happily introduced, "This thing is no ordinary device. It can be made large or small, has considerable power, and is completely waterproof. Judging from your appearance, you obviously need it."

As he spoke, he shoved the thing into the other person's hand.

The traveler's eyelid twitched.

Based on the other person's description, she had already guessed what it was, but would she have ended up like this if it weren't for the collar?

Xu Guang observed the other person's psychological changes through the status bar and chuckled: "This thing does have side effects, but are you really willing to not use it? Let me tell you something: your brother is very close to the Abyss Cult. Those people are even more lawless than the Fools. Without this thing, can you really protect yourself?"

The traveler remained silent.

Just biting her lip.

Although this thing has significant side effects, as the other party said, she needs to use it, otherwise today's battle with the Wind Demon Dragon will definitely be extremely fierce.

With a sigh, the traveler tucked the golden cudgel into his robes and looked at the other person expressionlessly, saying, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

She didn't believe that this guy had come all this way just to give her a toy.

"clever."

Xu Guang snapped his fingers and brought up a map, an overhead view of Mondstadt and Liyue.

Xu Guang pointed to Liyue: "Since you didn't find any blood relatives in Mondstadt, you definitely won't stay long. Your next stop can only be Liyue, which is the closest. I hope that after you get there, you can help me find a few people."

The traveler nodded, indicating that he understood.

She could easily find someone; what that person would face was none of her concern.

She's barely able to protect herself, so how could she possibly have the time to protect others?

After silently mourning the next person, the traveler heard the other person continue speaking.

"There's one more thing. There might be some interesting things to see at the West Wind Cathedral later. Don't interfere, just show up."

The traveler was somewhat bewildered. What did it mean to not stop them? Was something about to happen?

She wanted to ask more, but seeing the other person's expression, she swallowed her words.

It's better not to know, otherwise who knows what the other party might do.

(One more chapter. I tried my luck with the gacha today, but didn't get anything. I spent the whole day farming.)

Chapter 111: The Golden Cudgel is Truly a Divine Weapon

After he finished speaking, Xu Guang stood up.

He also needs to prepare; the story of Mondstadt has come to an end, and a certain drunkard is about to have his heart taken from him.

He definitely has to do this kind of thing himself. He's done this kind of thing many times before, like Thor.

Not only do you have to be hit by him, but you also have to meow.

But Barbatos is a different story.

Watching the other person's departing figure, the traveler shook her head helplessly. Facing someone with such strength, she was indeed powerless.

But so what?

The traveler's gaze was resolute; for his brother, such sacrifices were only right.

Paimon flew out from behind Ying, chuckling somewhat sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, traveler, I always hide behind you when something happens..."

The traveler shook his head and patted the other's head: "It's alright. With that guy's strength, it's pointless for you to do anything."

Paimon pondered for a moment: "Although something feels off, I'll take it as you trying to comfort me. But what did that guy give me this time?"

Paimon had no idea that when Xu Guang arrived, she hid behind the traveler the whole time and could only hear their conversation.

Following the other person's instructions, Ying took out the item the other person had given her from her bosom.

It's a stick with a very grainy texture. If it's really as the other party said, able to change size and be waterproof, then it would be quite convenient.

What is the maximum size it can become?

The traveler, somewhat curious, activated it, and his expression changed when he saw that the thing had grown to be as thick as a thigh.

Is this largest code for human use?

really.

So they quickly shrunk it.

Paimon flew over, examined it, and concluded, "What a strange thing. Is this for fighting?"

Ying's smile froze. Seeing that Paimon's expression didn't seem fake, she chuckled and nodded, saying, "Probably. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back first."

This was definitely not because she wanted to try out the new toy; she was simply tired, you know?

On a distant hillside, a man watched everything unfold without saying a word.

Several members of the Abyss Order stood behind him.

"Sir, should we investigate that man?"

A black-robed mage said in a muffled voice.

The man shook his head.

"No need, we've already got the data, those things aren't important."

After saying that, he turned and left.

If Ying were to see this, she would find it hard to believe, because this person is none other than her brother, Kong.

Previously, the other party had been watching everything from the shadows, observing the battle between his sister and the Wind Demon Dragon without the slightest change in expression. Even as she repeatedly found herself in dire straits, he showed no intention of intervening.

Of course, Xu Guang knew about these people, but he ignored them.

Just kidding, how many women are in this group? Why would you hang out with them if you have nothing better to do? Do you have a 36D bust under your hood?

……

Back at the Fatui stronghold, everything was ready.

The lady was a little nervous. Today could be said to be the best opportunity in recent years, because of the Wind Demon Dragon, many of the Knights had left the city, leaving the city's defenses weak.

Not to mention that they and the Wind God already had a tacit understanding in secret, even if they didn't, there were four... three executives here, so there shouldn't be any problems.

She glanced around; everything seemed normal, but that only made her more terrified.

It's one thing that Xu Guang took over the identity of the skirmisher, but now that he's not here, how come no one has noticed anything amiss?

The woman had a feeling that these people were all prey in a spider's web, already bound, and any resistance would be futile.

"No, I've always been very mild-mannered. You're just being prejudiced."

The sound rang out abruptly, and a pair of hands patted her shoulders.

There's no need to turn around; the other person's voice is already etched into my mind, and there's absolutely no way I could be wrong.

The woman felt a tightness in her throat and her heart was beating very fast.

Even though he was about to meet the Wind God, his unease was nothing compared to facing Xu Guang.

"Sorry……"

The woman apologized, her voice trembling, and managed a weak smile.

Xu Guang didn't care and yawned. Although he had refreshed his status, the eight-hour battle still made him feel tired, not because of a lack of physical strength or mental energy, but because of psychological issues.

Waving his hand, Xu Guang said, "This is a one-time exception. If I find out again, I'll punish you severely. To be honest, I still really like it. I miss the old days when I helped those ladies who were home alone fix their water pipes. There was so much water then."

The woman's expression froze.

What does it mean to like **? This guy!

Anger welled up from the bottom of her heart; she would never betray her lover, no matter who it was, even if it meant death!

But this situation quickly dissipated.

The woman was silently comforting herself.
