"Mmm... he's someone I met in Mondstadt, I remember at the time... (Still have to cover for that stupid system... Argh, I'm so mad!)"
Ying recounted some of her experiences to Hu Tao...
"Huh?! If you don't help him, he'll pester you and won't let you leave?! What a damned fellow..."
"Exactly, exactly! It's a shame he ended up getting eaten by a Hilichurl in the end. Otherwise, I would have chopped him too! (It's better to hide things about Aether...)"
"Mmm... Ying, you're really unlucky. I never thought there would be people with such a constitution in this world..."
"Hahaha, I think so myself sometimes." (There's also Bennett...)
"Sigh... Ying, do you ever feel sad because of this constitution?"
"Sad? Mmm... sometimes yes, sometimes no."
"Huh? Why? If I had your incredibly bad luck, I'd be utterly miserable."
"How should I put it... actually, from another perspective, I'm quite lucky."
"Very lucky... What do you mean?"
"Think about it, every time I encounter an accident, I can turn misfortune into good fortune or be rescued at the critical moment. Isn't that a kind of luck?"
"That... it does seem to make sense..."
"And I also met Lumine, you, and other good friends. I remember a saying: When God closes a window, he opens another. And I believe you all are definitely the other windows he opened for me (^～^)"
"I never expected you to have such a positive outlook, Ying. I'm starting to admire you more and more."
"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated~" (Actually, when I'm in danger, I still curse heaven for treating me unfairly... But people are inherently hypocritical, so there's nothing wrong with me doing it (￣へ￣))
"By the way, when is your sister coming?"
"You mean Lumine? Mmm... I don't know the exact time, but it should be soon. We agreed to meet at the [Rite of Descension]."
"That's the day after tomorrow. But what if she encounters danger on the way?"
"There's no need to worry about that, she's very strong."
"Oh? How strong?"
"How strong... she can probably beat two of me easily."
"She's that powerful?!"
"That's right." (After all, she could beat that Childe with dual elements...)
"It seems this Director needs to get closer to you these two days, otherwise, I won't be able to compete with your sister then."
"Uh... can we not bring it up like that all the time? It makes me quite embarrassed."
"Hehe~ Then I won't just talk the talk, shall I?"
"Emm... I've eaten enough, hurry up and take me to see more places!" (End this topic!)
"Tsk~ Ying is a scaredy-cat."
"Nonsense! I'm the one at a disadvantage right now!"
"Hahaha~ Let's go, let's go~"
Led by Hu Tao, Ying soon finished touring most of the more famous places in Liyue...
"This place is quite different from what I remember..."
"Is it?"
"Mmm, there are so many things I haven't seen before, like chain supermarkets and amusement parks. It feels like I've switched channels..."
"Hehe, there are still many places you haven't seen. Come on, come on, before it gets dark, this Director will take you to a few more places~"
"Mmm-hmm." (This Liyue is too different from the original work, system. The restoration in Mondstadt was completely different.)
"After all, the host barely participated in the main storyline when in Mondstadt, so more screen time is definitely needed in Liyue~"
(Yo? You finally showed up? Did you finish watching your new anime?)
"Cough cough~ I finished, I finished~"
(Tsk~ Keep pretending. But what did you mean by that last sentence? Does that mean I participate more in the main storyline in Liyue?)
"That's exactly what you're thinking, host."
(No way?! With my combat power, I'd just be giving experience points if I fought Archons, right?)
"This system doesn't know about that, but don't worry, the author isn't stupid. They'll definitely arrange suitable opponents for you."
(Emm... I'd actually prefer to hear you say the author will give me a big power-up...)
"Mmm... aren't those two five-star weapons already a big power-up?"
(Ah, this... it does seem to make sense.)
"Definitely~"
(The main storyline... Sigh~ Oh well, since I know the plot, why worry? I should focus on how to escape Hu Tao's clutches later (ー△ー))
"Ahaha~ Then, host, use your little brain and think hard~"
(Why don't you help me think of a way too...)
"Mmm... there really aren't many good methods. Your brain definitely can't compare to theirs, so you can only rely on brute force."
(Brute force... Compared to Hu Tao, I'm quite confident in my current strength. Although I wouldn't want to go all out, Hu Tao probably wouldn't either... And it seems there really isn't any other better way... Forget it, let's go shopping for now, and find the Adventurers' Guild to collect Primogems to upgrade you...)
A while later...
"Um... do you know where the Adventurers' Guild is here, Hu Tao?" (Damn it, as a transmigator, I can't even find an Adventurers' Guild. This is such a disgrace for a transmigator! (t^t))
"I do! Turn left up ahead, and it's a short walk from there. Are you going to accept a quest?"
"Accept a quest... Let's forget it for now. It's getting late, and I still have plenty of Mora on me. It's not too late to do it tomorrow." (Sigh... procrastination strikes again~)
"That's true, the sun is almost setting. Then this Director will take you back to the hotel~"
"Okay." (It's just a shame about those Primogems... But I already have a five-star weapon like Skyward Blade. After I upgrade you, will I really need to gacha?)
"Host, you need to have lofty goals. Can a thing like Skyward Blade compare to Mistplitter or Jade Cutter?"
(Uh... even if it can't compare, it should be enough, right?)
"That's not necessarily true. It might break at any moment."
(Emm... are you implying something to me...)
"Host, you're thinking too much. In short, collecting Primogems has only benefits and no drawbacks. Later, this system will also unlock other things for you to redeem."
(Uh-huh~ You're showing a little conscience. I thought I'd just be throwing all the Primogems I saved for a long time into the banner and wasting them.)
"Hmph-hmph~ Now you know how good this system is, right~"
(Uh... you're only telling me now about things I should have received at the start... What gives you the right to say that sentence?)
"Ah, this, okay, the system was wrong qw q"
Ying and Hu Tao soon returned to the hotel. Although Ying thought of many, many more ways along the way, she couldn't find any that could compete with sheer strength.
"Open the door, open the door! This Director is ready to devour you~"
"Who's devouring whom is yet to be determined!" Ying said to Hu Tao in a tone she thought was fierce as she opened the door.
"Hahaha~ Ying, who's playfully fierce, is also adorable~"
