Reality, Little Gui's livestream room.
"New character? Eh, doesn't the outfit he's wearing look a bit familiar?" Little Gui said as she looked at the clothes on the Wanderer.
[Of course it looks familiar. In Guili Past Events, when Jun Bai was 12 and 15 years old, he wore exactly this outfit.]
[The patterns on that outfit are based on Jun Bai's Flame Wings.]
[Looks like he really is a trusted subordinate. He even gave him his old clothes to wear.]
[Discussing whose clothes Jun Bai's have been worn by: first there was little Ganyu wearing baby clothes, now the Wanderer wearing the youth outfit.]
Little Gui took out her phone, opened Bilibili, found the documentary Guili Past Events, and dragged the progress bar.
"Oh, it really is the youth outfit that hubby once wore!"
After a rigorous comparison, Little Gui finally reached a conclusion.
"The name was given by hubby, the clothes are hubby's, and he was even brought back from outside by hubby…"
"Could it be something like an adopted son relationship?"
[It doesn't seem impossible.]
[If that's the case, does Boss Jun have a friend whose nickname is Wanderer?]
[But speaking of which, the Doctor just died like that? Feels like he went offline really fast. Is it because he's a Segment?]
[I'm more concerned that a 12+ game actually has a plot with dead people.]
"They didn't show the actual scene, they only mentioned it." Little Gui said, "Another perspective switch?"
The progress bar finished loading and entered Ji Xuanjian's perspective.
The moment the perspective switched, the first scene that appeared in the livestream was Childe collapsed against the wall with his mouth open and eyes closed.
[Arrogant Banana famous scene recreation!]
[Delightful sight of Childe getting beaten.]
[Childe fans are quietly breaking in an unknown corner. miHoYo, you've gone too far. Even if Childe is a villain, you can't treat him like this! Childe fans' lives matter too.]
[Wait, Ji Xuanjian? I thought you were a civil official like Ningguang and Ganyu, but all those muscles on your body weren't just for show?!]
"Is there a problem with being a civil official? No problem at all. You know, in tokusatsu shows, the combat power ceiling is often civil officials."
Little Gui transformed into a temporary tokusatsu fan and started joking around.
After Ji Xuanjian took the Unrestricted Seal from Childe, he began acting at the entrance of the stronghold.
Yelan appeared and exposed the fact that Ji Xuanjian was overacting his injury.
[I actually thought he was really enduring the pain from his wounds. Just as Jun Bai said, there isn't a single truthful word in his mouth.]
[Big sister? Another new wife! Looks like miHoYo has set their sights on my wallet.]
[I think this female character isn't that pretty, but I really want to study whether what she's wearing on her legs is leather pants or black stockings. Looks like I'll have to pull for her and study it seriously.] (dog head.jpg)
[Am I the only one who noticed she can turn invisible?]
"Eh——The Regrator ran away from his side with half of the Unrestricted Seals. Does that mean the one who broke Osial's seal later is the Regrator?" Little Gui's attention was actually on the plot at this moment.
The modeling of the Night Queen did not move her heart.
"Four Harbingers: one game over, one ran away with the goods, and now this one heavily injured. I wonder how the Lady is doing." Little Gui said while drinking milk tea, "I don't know if the Lady's situation will be mentioned later."
[Here it comes, Little Gui's unique memory method learned from Li Big Pillow.]
[Game over = game over. Ran away with the goods, goods = Unrestricted Seals.]
[Thank you to the previous translator, otherwise I really wouldn't understand.]
[I feel like the Lady's situation will be mentioned. After all, there are four Harbingers. Two have perspectives, one directly appears in dialogue. It can't be that they only omit the Lady.]
After Ji Xuanjian handed the Unrestricted Seal to Yelan, the plot ended. The quest prompted the player to head to the Guili Assembly.
At this time, returning to the game, the controllable character became Ji Xuanjian. Ji Xuanjian had replaced Little Gui's four characters and become the only character in the team.
"Can only use Ji Xuanjian as a single character? So overbearing!" Little Gui controlled Ji Xuanjian as he ran around everywhere.
"If I can only use Ji Xuanjian, then at least give me skills to use! miHoYo."
Little Gui almost smashed her keyboard.
Because at this moment the game not only forced the player to use only Ji Xuanjian as a single character, it hadn't even given Ji Xuanjian any skills.
Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst were all grayed out and unusable.
Even when opening the character interface, she couldn't view Ji Xuanjian's skills. Clicking on his avatar would directly jump to the second character in the character showcase, and a prompt saying "Unable to view character information" would pop up.
[There's a familiar sense of déjà vu. This is just like when miHoYo released Jun Bai's official art.]
[Before it was the artist finishing early while the writing team hadn't prepared the character data. Now the modeling team has finished the character model, but the design team hasn't designed the character skills yet.]
[It really seems like this explanation works right now.]
"I suggest miHoYo finish everything for a character before putting them into the actual game. If you encounter monsters like this, wouldn't you only be able to run?" Little Gui complained.
Then she directly used the map teleport and returned to the Guili Assembly.
Back at the Guili Assembly, the quest guide instructed the player to go to Ji Xuanjian's residence.
Upon returning to Ji Xuanjian's residence, the plot automatically triggered.
"Ya, hubby, long time no see!"
Little Gui delightedly discovered that Jun Bai was in this plot segment.
[Long time no see, referring to the fact that they last saw each other about thirty minutes ago.]
[That's how single-push fans are. If they don't see someone for a while they feel uncomfortable all over, and one day feels like a year.]
[By the way, why isn't White Bro at Fengdeng Lou? Why is he occupying Xuanjian's spot all day?]
——Teyvat
Jun Bai was still sitting upright in the position that originally belonged to Ji Xuanjian with his eyes closed, resting. After sensing Ji Xuanjian's arrival, he said: "You're back? How is the situation?"
"All Unrestricted Seals in the Luhua Pool stronghold have been destroyed. The lowest-ranked Fatui Harbinger is heavily injured and won't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days to half a month." Ji Xuanjian reported the situation.
"Then, at the Tianheng Mountain stronghold, the Regrator fled carrying half of the Unrestricted Seals. His current whereabouts are unknown. However, the Liyue Harbor intelligence officer Yelan has already begun investigating."
Yunshang walked in at this moment.
"All Unrestricted Seals at the Qingxu Pool stronghold have been destroyed. The Doctor's Segment was slain by the Wanderer."
"No news has come back yet from the Yaoguang Shoal stronghold regarding the Yuheng Star."
"…I understand. During this period, increase the Millelith patrols across all areas of Liyue. We absolutely cannot allow the Fatui to continue doing similar things."
"During this time, let the brothers work a bit harder. Before everything is over, raise the Millelith's salary and benefits a little more. Xuanjian, you handle this matter."
Jun Bai said with his eyes half-open.
"I understand." Ji Xuanjian accepted the order.
"Then Yunshang, you handle logistics. Just like when we were preparing for war before, don't worry about Mora."
"Understood."
"This is the calm before the storm. We absolutely cannot slack off in the slightest, otherwise it will be irreparable." Jun Bai closed his eyes again and began to rest and recuperate his body and mind.
The consumption from dispelling the God remains was not as easy as he had shown.
"Marshal, please rest assured. I will handle everything properly."
Ji Xuanjian looked deeply at Jun Bai, then bowed ninety degrees, saluted, and withdrew. Yunshang followed closely behind.
