Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Although in the story it's likely that the Dawn Sword wasn't used because the modelers were lazy, now that we're in the real Teyvat, Yingmei can finally ditch the Bladeless Sword she used to defeat gods and dragons and use a four-star weapon. That's truly something to celebrate!

I just don't know how much it will increase combat power.

According to the interviews with Ying and Paimon, they will likely be traveling around Mondstadt for the next few months, and then head to Liyue to participate in the Summoning Ceremony and meet the Liyue Geo Archon.

After that, we traveled by sea to Inazuma.

The reporters from Liyue and Inazuma are very much looking forward to this and welcome them to visit.

Just as I was reading today's newspaper, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The office door opened, and Xinhai walked in from outside, carrying a document.

"The Council of the Order has detected the anomaly in the void, and they are now intensifying their investigation."

"Oh, they've finally found it. By now, it's probably too late for them to investigate."

"Yes, according to calculations, the speed at which information is spreading has now far exceeded the processing capacity of the Council of the Fathers and the Fools."

This kind of thing is passed down by word of mouth. For such an exciting topic as the truth about the unusual topography of Sumeru City, it is not a simple one-to-one transmission. It can be passed from one person to another, or from one person to ten, or even from one person to a hundred. Moreover, the spread is exponential.

It's easy to control in the early stages, but once it reaches a certain scale, it becomes difficult to control.

The initial efforts to spread the information and the fishing for Paimon all occurred on the same day.

From meeting Luna to Paimon, getting to know each other, traveling, resting, and rescuing Dvalin, each task takes about 3-5 days.

It has now been almost 20 days since the information began circulating in Sumeru City.

The Academy's reliance on abstract keyword searches to block information dissemination caught it completely off guard by abstract art.

In particular, the actions of the Thirty-Man Group and the Fools disguised as the Thirty-Man Group in the city had been too conspicuous, giving them ample room to maneuver.

With "appropriate" relaying, the people of Sumeru City's first reaction upon hearing the news was to try it out quietly themselves, rather than report it, lest they get themselves imprisoned as well.

This test revealed the truth.

Immediately following this was a new round of dissemination, deliberately avoiding the current dissemination by mercenaries, scholars of the Order of the Church, and others.

Then, the amount of void used in Sumeru City decreased day by day.

At first, Hazard didn't pay much attention. After all, Sumeru City is so big, and there are many people coming and going. It's normal that more people are leaving these days because of some events.

However, the number of people falling each day keeps hitting new highs, and the downward discount is even greener than the stock price, which is not normal.

In the last two days, prices have plummeted even further each day.

Hazard, who wanted to squeeze more computing power by overclocking his brain, is now able to gain less than before due to the sharp decline in his "processor".

This immediately caught the attention and concern of Hazard and the doctor, among others.

Given that these issues are already widely known in the city, it wouldn't be difficult for someone with the will to investigate them.

Soon, Hazard and his team learned the trick of using abstract language to bypass the Void Terminal's eavesdropping and thus spread information.

As it turned out, even closing the embassy did not prevent them from expelling all hostile agents.

Despite the efforts of these agents, even if all those in the know are controlled, new informants will emerge, and the spread of information cannot be controlled.

At this point, more than half a month had passed since the information spread throughout Sumeru City.

Chapter 272 Non-stick Pan (Happy New Year everyone!)

Led by Azar, the members of the Fatui added the numerous alternative keywords that the Fools had gathered from Sumeru City into the void, and then retrieved the records from the past month.

The results left the group feeling dizzy and disoriented.

More than one-fifth of the people in Sumeru City have already learned of this news.

He has discovered the culprit behind the extreme fatigue and inability to dream experienced by the people of Sumeru City due to the Void Terminal, and has personally verified this.

The idea that "dreams are a symbol of ignorance" has also begun to be questioned.

What does it matter whether a Sumeru person has wisdom or not, and whether they wear a Void Terminal?

If you take it off, you lose wisdom; if you put it on, you gain it. So, does the Sumeru Man possess wisdom, or does the Void Terminal possess it?

Furthermore, with the elimination of physiological fatigue symptoms after removing the virtual terminal, people subconsciously began to wonder what problems the virtual terminal might still have, thus starting to reject traditional views.

More than one-fifth of the people—this number far exceeds their processing capacity.

And this doesn't even include people who weren't included in the statistics.

Even so, the number is still growing rapidly, and it is estimated that within five days, more than two-thirds of the people will know about this information.

At this moment, several sages who were still working on the research and development of the God of the Righteous Machine sat on the sofa, feeling utterly powerless.

Especially the great sage Hazard.

The situation is beyond repair.

Now, they are destined to become the sinners of the entire Sumeru, forever infamous.

Kavaja, that damned mole, he might become a great hero, a conscientious undercover agent trying to save the people from suffering.

It's all because of that despicable traitor, Kavaja!

When the plan was first launched, they never imagined that anyone would become an inside agent and leak information, and they also believed that no one would leak information.

After all, who among those who agree to join such a program isn't a fervent seeker of knowledge?

How could there possibly be anything like conscience or compassion?

As for those who disagreed, they were imprisoned from the beginning and never knew the specifics.

So they didn't have any contingency plans at all.

But man proposes, God disposes, and unfortunately, a traitor like Kavaja appeared.

Even if there was a mole within them, they had tried their best to remedy the situation in time. But they were caught in the Inazuma upheaval, the desert independence movement, and the rapid escalation of external threats to the Church.

The information leaked by Kavaja, the mole, must have already been obtained by these people and used as a weapon to attack the Papacy.

Faced with the current situation, even the doctor felt powerless.

Inazuma's carrier battle group is already on its way and will arrive near the coast of Sumeru in another week. At that time, Sumeru City will be within its strike range.

The Fatui are no longer the force that can run rampant throughout Teyvat with their powerful military strength.

Not to mention the ordinary fools, even the doctor himself dares not make any rash moves now.

It was ostensibly a friendly exchange with the desert, but to the doctor, it was clearly aimed at him.

Even the puppet general was reduced to ashes under the attack, and the doctor did not believe he could successfully resist.

We can't win in a direct confrontation, and now we've also been careless and failed in the information and public opinion wars.

Although the current situation is still turbulent, the complete defeat of the Order of the Fathers is already foreseeable and has become a foregone conclusion.

"Perhaps we can try one last time, even if it means delaying it a little longer. Maybe the God of the Righteous Machine can finish it during this period."

A wise man mustered his strength and made the suggestion.

"A last-ditch effort?"

Hazard sneered in a muffled voice.

What the doctor could see, he could certainly see as well.

The situation has spiraled completely out of control. Externally, there are the desert and Inazuma; internally, there are Elhesen and Tinari's group. As the truth comes to light, everyone in Sumeru, including those in the desert, will unite against them.

Even if the God of the Righteous Machine were to complete it, so what?

What if Inatsume no longer exists?

"No, he's right. Perhaps we should try again."

The doctor considered the suggestion briefly, then readily agreed.

"Please claim that the Void Terminal prevents people from dreaming due to a technical defect caused by Little Lucky Grass King's insufficient control over the Void, and tell them that it does not hinder normal use. As for the issue of physiological fatigue, say that the abnormality of the earth veins affected the Void Terminal, and continue to let Little Lucky Grass King take responsibility. You should say that you are stepping up your research and striving to solve it as soon as possible."

Hazard and the other sages exchanged bewildered glances.

This is just blatant blame-shifting!

The biggest blame was placed on Little Lucky Grass King, while the others and the Order of the Church remained completely untouched by any wrongdoing.

A wise person questioned, "Will this work?"

"We have to try, even if it's impossible. This is the last resort. We have to give it a shot."

Hazard, however, no longer cared about anything else; as long as there was hope, he would give it a try.

“We will lose the corresponding computing power, not only will we be unable to obtain overclocked computing power, but we will even be less than the normal computing power before the operation.”

"So what? Things have developed this way, and this is the only hope. We'll talk about computing power later."

A silence fell among them.

It would have been better to do nothing at all in the first place.

At least there are stable dreams to harvest, and there's still something to use.

After all this trouble, I've put myself in such a passive position, and in the end, my computing power has decreased instead of increased.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

That damn mole!

As they silently cursed Cavaja, the traitor, they suddenly realized they had overlooked something.

what is it then?

“Our previous large-scale operations, which have already been seen and known to all, have integrated Sumeru City. If we explain it this way now, how can we explain our previous actions? People aren’t stupid.”

"..."

A silence fell over the group once again.

The previous problems weren't serious, and they thought they could resolve them with strong, confrontational measures, simply by suppressing them promptly.

The problem has become serious, forcing us to compromise. The previous tough measures have backfired and become a stone that has fallen into our own feet.

He just threw something at random to attack, but it turned out to be a boomerang. He didn't hit the enemy, but it bounced back and hit him on the head.
