Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Because of the story written by Lin Qiu, this year's Lunar Festival was much grander than usual.

Those who were initially reluctant to return home have now all returned to Liyue to reunite with their families.

Some changes have occurred on the streets of Liyue Harbor today.

At this time, every household in Liyue Harbor had a small 'rice crust statue' on display.

Over the past few days, the story of Guoba has spread by word of mouth in Liyue, and even people who don't read the prophecy book know about it.

With rice crackers becoming incredibly popular, businessmen naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

As a result, within just a few days, items such as 'Guoba Statue' and 'Guoba Doll' were dumped into the Liyue market.

Just like thousands of years ago, every household has its own 'Kitchen God'.

Guoba seemed to have regained its original divine power, and once again split into small clones to accompany the people of Liyue.

"So Guoba is so cute!" Funina hugged Guoba and rubbed her face against it. Her tuft of hair often touched Guoba, and she wondered if Guoba felt itchy.

"I want one of those cute creatures too."

Liyue is holding the Moon Festival, and since Frynn wanted to come, Lin Qiu decided to invite them all to join in the fun, so everyone could get together.

"Lulu~?" Guoba's eyes widened, but it didn't struggle.

Lin Qiu drew illustrations for Guoba in the book, both when he was a demon god and when he shrunk.

However, it's clear that the illustration can't capture the bouncy texture of the rice crackers in reality; they feel incredibly good to the touch.

"It's definitely better than Paimon," Lin Qiu commented.

Lin Qiu had also touched the rice crackers, and to be honest, they felt better than Paimon's. They were more bouncy and had a better stretchy texture. They were chewy, delicious, and didn't stick to his teeth.

"Damn it! I'm clearly better than..." Paimon was about to retort, but then he fell silent.

"...Wait a minute, why would I compare myself to rice crust?"

Yingmei was shocked, "Paimon has become smarter?"

What's going on? I had thought about finding Paimon a school to attend, but he hasn't even started school yet, so how did he become smarter?

“I’m naturally smart, okay!” Paimon retorted.

The group of people were playing with rice crusts outside the Wanmin Hall. Passersby weren't surprised, since they were all 'acquaintances'.

The traveler and the prophet are both very famous figures. I don't recognize the girl in the blue 'sailor uniform,' but she's probably not an ordinary person either.

Inside the Wanmin Hall, Xiangling was chatting with Xianyun and Gechen.

"Master, you are so beautiful," Xiangling exclaimed.

Ge Chen smiled and said, "Xiang Ling's mouth is still so sweet, just like your junior sister Yao Yao."

The master and apprentice were exchanging pleasantries when Xianyun interrupted their conversation.

"Alright, come and try the food made by this immortal's automatic cooking machine." Xianyun took out a dish of golden shrimp balls.

"Try it quickly, this immortal is participating in the competition this time," Xianyun said.

Now that she has entered the mortal world, she might as well participate in this worldly competition.

Xianyun has already passed the preliminary rounds and advanced to the semi-finals in the past few days.

Before the two had even touched their chopsticks, a voice came from outside the door, "It smells like shrimp balls?"

Keqing has arrived. Today is the Festival of the Moon, so she is actually a little more relaxed. Afterwards, she only needs to serve as a judge for the King of Chefs competition.

So they decided to find Lin Qiu. Lin Qiu's whereabouts were not a secret. His subordinates told them that Lin Qiu was at Wanmintang, so they came.

"Eh? True Lord Liuyun? Ah Ping?" Gan Yu was slightly surprised, not expecting to meet him here.

When his subordinates reported, they naturally wouldn't mention these two immortals, because they didn't know them.

"I am not True Lord Liuyun!" Xianyun retorted.

Keqing is still here. She has exposed my identity. What if I lose the competition?

It would be so shameful for the Seven Stars to know that a celestial artifact is defeated by a mortal!

"..." Ke Qing remained silent. What could I say when you refer to yourself as "this immortal"?

"Golden shrimp balls...may I try some?" Ke Qing pretended not to hear Xian Yun's question.

“Of course.” Xianyun nodded. Keqing was a judge after all, so it was good to let her give her evaluation in advance.

Unfortunately, the Golden Shrimp Balls have a special effect against Keqing, so having her evaluate this dish is somewhat biased.

At a dining table behind the Manmin Hall, Claude, Chiori, and Shinhaku sat together.

The three of them weren't very interested in 'playing with rice crust' or cooking, so they just sat together 'chatting' to build rapport.

It's a pity that when these three people sit together, they can't utter a single fart for ages.

We sat there chatting for ages, and all we learned was the other person's name.

In fact, Shen He, Qian Zhi, and Clarinde are not really aloof people; they just appear aloof.

Unfortunately, there was no one there who was good at finding topics to talk about, which is why they were rather silent.

"Junior sister, you're here." Gan Yu arrived; Xian Yun had told her Shen He's location.

"Senior sister." Shen He nodded, then fell silent.

Gan Yu glanced at the other two, then at Shen He, thinking to herself, 'Junior sister, aren't you going to introduce them...?'

Unfortunately, Shen He didn't understand Gan Yu's meaning, and in the end, it was Clarin and Chiori who introduced themselves.

Then the table went from having three silent Poppies to having four silent Poppies.

Let's talk about something else. Across from Wanmintang, at Sanwanbuguogang, Zhongli and Wendy were drinking together.

That's right, Venti has come all the way from Mondstadt to Liyue to participate in this year's Moon Festival.

"This wine... is seriously diluted with water..." Wendy remarked.

This wine tastes almost like no wine at all. How much water did they add?

Speaking of which, the person I'm drinking with is your Rock King, the Emperor! You've watered down the wine too? You really treat everyone the same...

The owner of the "Three Bowls and No Port" restaurant claimed innocence, saying there were just too many people; otherwise, he would have made sure the Emperor's cup was undiluted.

Speaking of drinks, the ship "Death Star" of Beidou was quite lively at that moment.

On the day of the Lunar Festival, they naturally did not set sail. After returning home and reuniting for a while, they went back to the ship to drink with their brothers.

This wine was bought by Manyo when he went to the port last time, but unfortunately, Manyo, the one who bought the wine, doesn't drink it.

Hu Tao, Navia, and Xin Yan were also on the ship. They had wanted to visit last time, and this time they finally got the chance.

The people on the boat were drinking and chatting, with Xin Yan playing the guitar to liven things up. Only Wan Ye and Hu Tao couldn't drink.

One of them was a minor, and the other got drunk after just a sip of alcohol.

"Do you need any services from the Rebirth Hall?" Hu Tao chatted with Wan Ye with a smile.

On the other side, Gui Zhong and Heulia were shopping, accompanied by Yan Fei.

They were unaware of the situation and were easily deceived, which was precisely what Yanfei helped to fill that gap.

It's worth mentioning that Gui Zhong was wearing new clothes, which Lin Qiu gave her in the name of the Moon Festival. They were Luo Tianyi's clothes, made by Qian Zhi.

With that hair color, it's a shame not to cosplay as Luo Tianyi.

“Xiao,” Lin Qiu called softly.

"What do you want?" Xiao appeared in front of Lin Qiu.

In fact, he had always been there. Ever since he finished reading the book and realized that he hadn't recognized the Kitchen God, he had felt guilty.

So these past few days, whenever I have a spare moment, I come over to check on Guoba and ask Xiangling to make two spicy meat buns for him.

"My new book will be released tomorrow. It's about your story. Remember to read it," Lin Qiu said with a smile.

"...Understood." Xiao disappeared from the spot after saying that.

Lin Qiu sighed helplessly. No wonder Yingmei forbade Xiao from suddenly appearing and disappearing like a whirlwind. It was indeed difficult to get used to.

Character Voice Lines - Lin Qiu: About the Moon Festival

"Awesome! That was so awesome! I'm so full!"

"Ke Qing's aggressive arrival startled me. Turns out it's because I owe her that shrimp ball meal. I thought she was coming for revenge, but I don't think I have any grudge against her."

Chapter 141 The Golden-Winged Roc King

The following day, the Lunar Festival ended, and the Chef King Competition also concluded.

In the end, Xiangling was the winner. Xianyun's opponent in the semi-finals was Yingmei. That's right, Yingmei also participated this time. In the end, Xianyun was no match for Yingmei and was eliminated.

It's worth mentioning that yesterday, Ke Qing found Lin Qiu and thanked him. Lin Qiu then treated her to a meal of golden shrimp balls.

Before the competition started, the group spent some time together. If Lin Qiu and Ke Qing could only be considered acquaintances before, they could now be considered friends.

Having finished talking about yesterday, let's talk about today. Lin Qiu's new book was released today.

'The Golden-Winged Roc King Chapter: Act One: The Butterfly of the Locust Tree, the Dream of Nuoyou'

The story tells of a traveler who arrives near the Wangshu Inn and discovers several strange Hilichurls who seem to exude an evil aura.

Paimon felt that these Hilichurls might harm passersby, so as a kind-hearted adventurer, he decided to eliminate these monsters.

'Traveler, use your elemental power on them, just for my sake!'

The traveler annihilated some Hilichurls tainted by evil, then discovered a masked figure on the other side who appeared to be 'casting a spell'.

The masked man held a 'talisman' in his hand, which drove away all the Hilichurls tainted with evil energy.

Paimon: "Judging from his 'chantment' just now, he seemed even more like a celestial being than Xiao. Why don't we go and talk to him?"

The immortals scoffed, saying they could tell it was fake just by looking at it.

How can such a charlatan who borrows the tiger's power compare to the Great Sage who vanquishes demons?

Xiao didn't react much. In fact, Xiao himself didn't think that performing magic was his forte.

However, Xiao noticed that this person seemed to have only driven away the monster, but did not deal with it.

“...adding to the trouble,” Xiao sighed.

Unlike the Hall of Rebirth, Xiao's method of dealing with the remnants of demons is much simpler and more brutal. This method is more efficient, but also more costly.

The remnants of the demon god were not so easy to destroy; in the end, they all became part of the 'karma' that entangled Xiao.

Speaking of the masked man in the story, ordinary people can't tell whether the masked man is a real immortal or a fake immortal, but they do know Xiao.

Could this mysterious masked man really be more powerful than that short immortal? Even ordinary people wouldn't think so.

Don't let that immortal's short stature fool you; his abilities are extraordinary.

Everyone is still very curious about who this masked person is, and whether he is really some kind of immortal.

[Masked Man: "Oh, no need for thanks. Exorcising demons and helping the world is the duty of immortals. It's nothing to mention, nothing to mention..."]

"Oh? You seem to be unfamiliar faces. I thought you were 'believers'."

"It is only proper for this immortal to introduce himself."

"This immortal is the 'True Lord Who Seizes Stars and Planets,' also known as the 'Star Lord' by believers."

"This time, I, an immortal, descended the mountain to help the world. It is fate that we have met. If you two have any wishes, please tell me."

Ordinary people who were unaware of the truth felt somewhat close to this True Lord of Star-Catching and Star-Seizing.

However, those who know a bit about this can tell at a glance that he is a fraud.

"Plucking stars and seizing constellations? I've never even heard of that. Hmph, impersonating an immortal, I should punish him!" Xianyun said.

Don't think that just because you're called "True Lord" you're an immortal!

"That's right, whoever has such a great immortal keeps calling themselves 'this immortal' all the time." Gui nodded.

"Hmm?" Xianyun felt that Guizhong was ostracizing her, but she had no evidence.
