The construction of the Teyvat Broadcasting Network was moving at a breakneck pace. Across three nations, a frantic search for hosts and content was underway. Su Han had designed a remarkably fair system: each nation would be granted an eight-hour block of airtime, with the time slots rotating weekly so everyone eventually had the "Prime Time" evening hours.
[Mondstadt – The Knights' Headquarters]
Jean had barely posted the recruitment notice when her own sister, Barbara, burst through the door.
"You want to be a host?" Jean asked, surprised.
"Yes, Sister!" Barbara nodded, her eyes bright with a newfound confidence. "I've spent every day connecting with the people of Mondstadt and the Cathedral. I want to reach them through the screen, too. Protecting Mondstadt isn't just about fighting; it's about healing hearts with joy!"
Barbara handed over a thick folder. It was a pitch for a travelogue titled Mondstadt's Hidden Gems. She proposed acting as a guide, leading viewers through the Falcon Coast and the lush greenery of Dadaupa Gorge while subtly promoting local specialties.
Jean smiled, impressed by the detail. "It's a deal. But remember Su Han's advice: don't drown the first broadcast in commercials. We need to win their interest first."
[Liyue – Yuehai Pavilion]
In Liyue, the competition was even fiercer. Iron Tongue Tian was the first to arrive, slamming scripts onto Ganyu's desk with the flair of a true performer. The Archon's Conquest and The Tale of Azhdaha were cleared for production almost immediately.
But the real buzz started when a smaller hand placed a script on the table. Yun Jin had arrived, proposing a televised version of The Divine Damsel of Devastation.
"Yun Jin is going to be on TV?" the onlookers whispered. "The fame of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe will spread across three nations in a single night!"
Then came Xiangling, practically vibrating with excitement. "I want to do a cooking show! I'll teach everyone the basics of Wanmin-style cuisine. If everyone learns to cook, the whole world gets happier!"
Ganyu nodded, clearing the scripts one by one. The quality of Liyue's submissions was staggering, driven by a culture that already valued public performance and storytelling.
[Inazuma – Tenshukaku]
Inazuma's hosting lineup was a bit of a headache for Yae Miko. She had hoped to cast Ayaka, but the Shirasagi Himegimi, so graceful in person, became a blushing, stuttering mess the moment the camera lens was pointed at her.
"Sigh... I suppose I'll have to step in myself," Miko lamented, though her mischievous grin suggested she enjoyed the spotlight. She would co-host with the ever-popular Miss Hina (a disguised Gorou).
Their programming was eclectic: traditional Inazuman dance, a competitive fishing derby, and an "Hardcore Combat" segment hosted by Kaedehara Kazuha. Even the Yae Publishing House got a slot to discuss the latest serialized manga from the One Piece world.
[The Jade Chamber – Strategy Room]
Su Han sat with Ningguang and Mona, reviewing the final schedule.
"The economy is going to skyrocket," Ningguang noted. "But you left two hours blank every night. What's that for?"
"The News," Su Han said with a mysterious smile. "It's my secret weapon. We'll report on everything—bandit sightings, major economic shifts, and political updates. It keeps the nations connected."
"And the Weather Forecast," he added.
"But weather isn't always predictable," Paimon noted, munching on a sunsettia. "What if you're wrong?"
Shenhe looked up from her tea. "You forget he has the power of the Azure Dragon. If he says it will rain at noon, he will simply make it rain at noon."
"That's cheating!" Hu Tao laughed.
[The Launch Day]
The next morning, the first batch of television sets went on sale. They came in three sizes: 27, 30, and 32 inches.
"Only a thousand units for today!" the shopkeepers shouted. "First come, first served! Installation included!"
Ganyu watched from the shadows, nervous that the 1,000 Mora price tag might deter the public. She was wrong. Within ten minutes, three hundred units were gone.
"Chef Mao? You're buying one too?" a neighbor asked.
"One?" Chef Mao laughed, gesturing to his assistants carrying three boxes. "I'm putting one in every dining room! People will stay longer and order more appetizers if they can watch Xiangling teach them how to cook while they eat! This is the smartest investment I've ever made!"
The frenzy had begun. Teyvat was about to be united by a glowing screen.
