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

Page 56

So who?

A group of thieves?

No, those people don't have the guts or the ability.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as a name surfaced in her mind.

Dadalia.

In the world of Winterland, a suspicious fellow.

She could clearly sense the danger posed by the other party, but because she lacked evidence and the other party had all the necessary paperwork, she couldn't do anything about it.

Are they finally showing their true colors?

I took a deep breath and looked at the street. Just a moment ago it was bustling with people, but now it was eerily quiet.

We need to leave here.

Ke Qing calmly made a judgment, and then left quickly without any hesitation.

The first place she could think of was Qunyu Pavilion, but it was too far from here.

So, go to the Adventurers' Guild?

Putting everything else aside, the adventurers there are quite helpful, often assisting people in solving their problems, which greatly reduces her workload.

"Oh, beautiful lady, are you alone?"

A sudden sound came from behind.

Ke Qing turned around, and a handsome man with a roguish air appeared in front of her.

The other person was smiling, with something dangling from their mouth.

The only people who could appear here in this situation are, without a doubt, enemies!

However, she can't use the Eye of God right now, so her combat power has been reduced by more than half, and she has to be more careful.

He glanced at the surrounding terrain out of the corner of his eye, already planning an evacuation route in his mind.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm not a good person. I just came here to play a game with you."

Ke Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said.

"...Not a good person?"

Sure enough there is a problem!

Seeing the other party's expression, Xu Guang waved his hand: "I misspoke, but there's one thing you can rest assured about: I'm all about fairness. As long as you participate in my game and win, you'll not only be able to leave here safely, but you'll also receive a generous reward."

After listening, Ke Qing coldly replied, "Sorry, I'm not interested in your game."

Then he retreated rapidly to the street corner, which was in the opponent's blind spot.

As a Liyue native, she knew the surrounding terrain like the back of her hand.

If she can create even a little distance, she will definitely be able to escape.

After walking a considerable distance, Ke Qing, exhausted and panting, discovered that she had returned to where she started.

She returned to that man.

"Illusion or something else?"

She was extremely meticulous about her route; over the past few years, she had measured every place here with her own footsteps, making it impossible for her to go astray.

Therefore, it can only mean that the other party did something.

Xu Guang smiled and shrugged: "Don't you ever suspect that fate brought you to me? It's destiny."

Keqing snorted coldly: "Heh, Teyvat only has seven Archons, that's common knowledge. I'm warning you that if you detain Liyue civil servants without authorization, you will face endless pursuit by the Thousand Rock Army. It's not too late to surrender now."

Looking at the other person, Xu Guang nodded.

This is the right flavor.

He looks like a college student just entering the workforce with a serious demeanor. Although Jiu Tiao is similar to him in some ways, they should not be generalized.

In comparison, Kujo is more like a capable career woman, while Keqing is a slightly naive new employee full of idealism.

This tastes just right!

However, there is one problem: whether Keqing's belly will be filled with ideals or something else in the future is unknown.

Upon seeing the man's expression of relief, Ke Qing frowned and took two steps back.

Without the blessing of the Eye of God, this battle might come at a very heavy price.

Xu Guang looked at the status bar above the other person's head and said kindly, "Don't be so wary, why don't you listen to my game first?"

With evacuation impossible, Keqing decided to talk to the other party in order to recover her strength, so she asked, "What game?"

Xu Guang explained, "It's very simple. There are ten rounds in total. Whoever hits the other first wins a point, and the reward will be more generous. If I win a point, you have to take off a piece of clothing. Of course, to accommodate you, gloves and hair accessories also count."

Keqing's words left him speechless.

Has the other party already planned it out?

She was wearing exactly ten items, including her headdress and gloves.

If the other party keeps winning, wouldn't she be able to have the whole thing?

Chapter 75: Watch closely, JoJo! This is how time stop is used.

"What a joke!"

Ke Qing stepped back, her eyes no longer able to conceal the hostility.

She could never agree to such an absurd game.

She would never agree to it even if there was only the slightest chance of failure!

This is the pride of the Liyue Seven Stars.

Even if it means dying in battle, we will never allow the other side to humiliate us like this.

Xu Guang looked at the status bar above the beef offal chef's head and already understood.

Unfortunately, as a player, as someone with access to an entire world, he had far too many ways to make the other party submit.

So he smiled and said, "I know you may not be very willing, but I can make a promise that, whether I win or lose, I will tell you a piece of news, about the Demon God, about Liyue."

Keqing: "..."

Is she unwilling?

They were clearly so resistant.

However... there was something about what the other person said that attracted her, such as the news about the demon god.

However, she wasn't so easily fooled.

He said coldly, "Words are meaningless; why should I believe you?"

Faced with the questioning, Xu Guang showed no dissatisfaction, only maintaining a smile: "Although I really want to say, do you have a choice? And then use a smooth little combo to take you away, after all, this is our first meeting, so it's better not to be so rough."

You say I'm just making baseless accusations? Well then, let me ask you, has Liyue really been calm these past few days? Haven't the guys behind the scenes made any moves? Here's a hint: the defeated Geo Archon. I'm really curious if the Hall of Rebirth will be packed with business by then.”

After saying this, Xu Guang stopped talking and stood aside waiting for the other party's reply.

He knew Ke Qing's personality very well and knew that she would definitely agree.

Even if the other party knows it's a trap.

As expected, Ke Qing's expression grew increasingly grim as she stood at a distance.

From her current position, she can certainly access a lot of information and knows some secrets.

This is why she suspected the young master immediately.

Clenching her teeth, Ke Qing stared intently at the other person, trying to discern something from their expression. Unfortunately, all she saw was a smiling face.

She wanted to refuse because the game was clearly designed to humiliate people.

However, since the other party has gone this far, they must know some inside information, and judging from what they've said, quite a few more people may die.

If we could actually obtain complete intelligence and stop it...

His gaze grew increasingly firm, and he no longer hesitated.

She is Keqing, Yuheng of the Seven Stars of Liyue. She is the one who said that humans can replace gods and live their own lives well. How can she back down here?

"I'll play the game you promised."

Xu Guang's lips gradually turned up.

Unlike most people who are inherently kind, he has never been a good person, neither in the past nor now.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he likes this kind of plot and this kind of story.

With a slight bow, Xu Guang tossed a wooden sword over, signaling that the other party could begin.

The moment Keqing received the wooden sword, she abandoned all distractions and wholeheartedly devoted herself to this game, which was, to her, a farce.

Lowering his body and bending his legs, everything was for the sake of a fatal blow in the next instant.

She looked at the man in front of her, and despite his many flaws, she did not relax her guard in the slightest.

What if we lose the blessing of the Eye of God?

She never stopped practicing her skills.

A leaf fell, and the girl moved, pouncing like a cheetah.

I lowered my wrist slightly to prevent the other person from dodging.

but.

Snapped……

Before Ke Qing could even react, the wooden sword in her hand had been knocked away, and her opponent had already placed the sword against her neck.

How can it be!

Her only response was a curt two words.

"one cent."

After Xu Guang hit the target, he politely took two steps back, his eyes blazing.

Ke Qing knew this was a silent urging, telling her to follow the rules.

Taking a deep breath, the girl reviewed the battle as she removed one of her gloves.

The fair palms were exposed to the air, and because they had never seen sunlight for many years, the bluish veins on them were clearly visible.

Xu Guang threw the sword over again: "The second round is about to begin."

Ke Qing took it, her expression grave.

It's no exaggeration; she hadn't even noticed how her opponent moved before the weapon in her hand was knocked away.

Such speed is absolutely top-tier, even among those who possess the Eye of God.

But... does this really rely on speed?

She wasn't an office worker, and she had fought quite a few battles, so she naturally sensed that something was wrong.

However, this is only the first round.

Xu Guang looked at it and sighed slightly.

It's no use. No matter how smart Keqing is, it's useless because he's cheating.

As is well known, when a player clicks on a certain function, the game world will stop, and the characters inside will naturally be unable to move.

In simpler terms, it's like time stopping.
