[Liyue Harbor – The Morning After]
The aftermath of the premiere was a carnival of profit. Across Teyvat, merchants who had secured advertising slots were waking up to a deluge of orders. Watatsumi Island received tourism bookings worth hundreds of thousands of Mora in a single night. The Wanmin Restaurant was so packed that the street outside was a sea of hungry patrons.
Chef Mao, a man of sharp business acumen, made a decisive move. "Today, the Spring Noodles are free for everyone! And from now on, anyone in genuine need can come to Wanmin for a free bowl. I'm just a cook, but no one goes hungry on my watch!"
This act of televised philanthropy only served to boost his reputation further. Meanwhile, at the Heyu Tea House, Yun Jin looked at her father with a helpless smile.
"Father, I promised to visit Mr. Su Han today. But look at the crowd! How can I even leave the building?"
"My daughter, you are the star of the century!" her father laughed, though his brow was damp with sweat from managing the fans. "Everyone is demanding a live performance of The Divine Damsel. If you don't sing at least one set, they might tear the tea house down!"
"One set, then," Yun Jin conceded. She valued her rare private moments with Su Han, and the thought of them being delayed by her own fame was a bittersweet irony.
[The Jade Chamber]
Inside the floating palace, Su Han was deep in discussion with Ganyu.
"The entertainment was the hook," Su Han said, looking over the broadcast ratings. "Now, we deploy the real purpose of the network. We launch the News and the first animations today."
"The bounty list is ready," Ganyu replied, her expression turning sharp. "The Fatui have enjoyed their anonymity for too long."
Just then, a knock at the door signaled Yun Jin's arrival. She had traded her elaborate opera robes for a simple, moon-white dress. Ganyu offered a knowing smile and excused herself, leaving the two alone.
"You've become quite the celebrity, Yun Jin," Su Han teased as they sat for tea.
"It feels surreal," she admitted, her tension melting away in his presence. "Even Shenhe sent word that she was moved by the performance. I wanted to thank you... and perhaps ask for your autograph, given how hard it is to see you lately."
They spent a pleasant hour together, with Su Han gifting her a specialized Communication Finch (Phone Bug) for direct, private contact.
[Noon – The TBN Special Report]
At exactly twelve o'clock, every screen in Teyvat flickered from light music to a black-bordered announcement. Ganyu appeared on screen, her voice echoing through the taverns of Mondstadt and the streets of Inazuma.
"Good afternoon. Today's broadcast includes a special report: The Tri-National Decree."
Her voice was cold and official. "Under the joint agreement of the Knights of Favonius, the Liyue Qixing, and the Narukami Shogunate, the nation of Snezhnaya is officially designated as a Hostile Entity. All Snezhnayan merchants are barred from our lands. All Fatui assets are to be seized."
The world went silent. In a Liyue tavern, a Sumeru merchant dropped his fork. "They... they actually declared war on the Tsaritsa?"
"It's about time!" a local shouted. "Those Fatui tried to drown us! If not for Lord Su Han, we'd be crab food."
Ganyu continued, her image appearing on the giant public screen in the Inuyasha world as well. "We are issuing Bounties for the Fatui Harbingers. 50,000 Mora for confirmed sightings. 500,000 Mora for precise coordinates. If you hide them, you share their fate."
The message was clear: Su Han was stripping away the shadows the Fatui relied on. By noon, the entire world knew their crimes.
[The Reward]
With the media engine running, Su Han retreated to his private study to claim his mission rewards.
[Ding! Mission Complete: Nightmare Difficulty.]
[Reward: 60,000 Points.]
[Item: Digimon Incubator.]
Item:Digimon Incubator.
Description: A legendary treasure capable of drawing elemental energy from the atmosphere to generate one Digimon Egg per month.
Special Mechanic: To hatch an egg, the owner must drop their blood onto it, creating a Soul Bond. This ensures absolute loyalty and prevents "Dark Digivolution."
Note: The incubation period can be shortened by providing high-tier energy (Dragon Veins or Archon power).
Su Han's eyes brightened. "This is the start of a new era for our defense."
In a world like Teyvat, overflowing with elemental energy, a Digimon could easily reach the Ultimate or Mega level with proper care. By distributing these to his inner circle, Su Han was building a legion of sentient, loyal guardians.
"First egg is almost ready," Su Han whispered, looking at the glowing device. "I wonder who should get the first partner?"
