In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

"Wait, don't move!"

Hearing the kitten girl's cries, Xu Guang rolled his eyes at her, a rare occurrence for him.

"You're still as cute as before, could you please turn back? Besides, is there any part of you I haven't explored yet? Your weakness is right here..."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and the other person immediately went limp, sticking out their tongue.

Cats and humans are quite different in some ways, such as the temperature inside their bodies.

They are clearly taller than humans.

So, it's quite warm.

Xu Guang pulled out his finger, looked at the sticky substance on it, smeared it on the girl's chest, and then moved his finger to pack her up and send her back to the shrine.

Hua Sanli should be there at this point; in any case, he will definitely understand what the other person means.

Turning back to look in the direction of the Naganohara fireworks shop, Xu Guang smiled and squinted his eyes.

"I'm really looking forward to it. It's the last piece of the puzzle that I haven't collected yet."

Meanwhile, at Narukami Taisha Shrine, Hana-san-ri finished her daily cleaning and took off her apron.

Of course, it's a nude apron.

When she wore this while doing housework last time, Mr. Xu Guang suddenly thought of a good way to play.

I don't remember much about the details, but she ate quite a lot that day, no matter which mouth she used.

The result was that when she did housework, there were basically no things that would hinder Mr. Xu Guang's exploration.

After changing her clothes, Hana Sanri went to the backyard of the shrine and looked at the fox spirit inside the sphere, which was becoming more and more lifelike. She then took out her notebook.

When Fox Palace saw her in this state, he immediately begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Ever since she provoked him last time, this guy has been reading her his self-written Bible every single day without fail.

The entire content praised that lecherous man.

Fox Palace covered her head, puzzled as to why a shrine maiden would recite such a thing, and even more puzzled as to why it was necessary when she was just saying a few bad things about the other party.

Chapter 177: Archery and Hypnosis

"You don't know you're wrong, you're just afraid."

Hua Sanli spoke expressionlessly, saying that the day she was redeemed, she was no longer anyone's appendage; she was herself, and Mr. Xu Guang, who gave her a new life, was naturally the most important person in her life.

Fox Palace tore off its ear and stared at the ceiling with utter despair.

She's so stupid, really.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have said anything.

Now, not only can we not get out, but we also have to listen to other people's nagging.

She was a mere warrior; when had she ever suffered such humiliation!

hum~

Ripples spread across the front yard, and Hua Sanli stopped what she was doing and got up to go over.

Fox Palace breathed a sigh of relief, then counted on his fingers how much longer it would take him to get out.

"Three days..."

It will only be a few days before she can move around freely again, and she will never hear a single nagging word again.

She said it!

Meanwhile, Hana Sanri came to the front yard and saw Qi Liangliang lying on the floor. She thoughtfully wiped the water droplets off her legs and then gave her a blanket.

Since Mr. Xu Guang has given her some authority, she must do her best.

This wasn't the first time she'd done something like cleaning up the battlefield.

However, Qi Liangliang is a rare guest.

It's usually Kyuuki Shinobu and Kujo Sara, or perhaps a shadow.

These few are very favored, and when they arrive, they are usually full of vitality.

These are just cases of high-level coma, and they're the easiest to handle.

As for Xu Guang now, he has arranged everything and is waiting for nightfall.

Imagine being so high you faint under a spectacular fireworks display—it sounds pretty thrilling.

The other person will probably like it.

Looking at the date on the calendar, Xiaogong racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, so he finally gave up.

The only guess is that she was so looking forward to the fireworks display that she had a strange dream.

Wearing her new clothes, the girl stretched lazily.

She looked at the pedestrians on the street and felt that something was off.

Time passed quickly and night fell. The girl was puzzled as to why there were so few customers today.

Although many people bought in advance these past few days, there should still be some people who will buy a little more today.

However, she was happy to have some free time.

"In that case, why don't we find a good spot tonight and enjoy the view?"

Without hesitation, Yomiya changed into a yukata and went out like an ordinary girl, or rather, that's how it should be at her age.

The wooden clogs made a crisp sound as they stepped on the ground.

The white socks reached all the way to the ankles, and a little above that were the calves so white that you could see the veins.

The girl was wrapped in a plain-colored yukata, but even so, you could still see the signature bandage at the neckline and the beautiful tattoo on her shoulder, a small blooming firework.

"Hey, miss, would you like to participate in the event? The rewards are pretty good!"

Following the direction of the sound, Xiaogong looked over and saw a boy dressed in strange clothes leaning against the counter, beckoning to her.

After estimating the time and confirming that playing for a while wouldn't have any negative impact, Xiaogong happily went ahead.

Approaching the vendor, she looked at the man in front of her and asked with a smile, "Boss, you're not Inatsume, are you?"

Xu Guang replied with a smile, "You're a really smart girl. My name is Maimaiti, and I'm a traveling merchant. There's a big event going on in Inazuma recently, so I came here."

"Oh, so that's what it is." Xiaogong nodded and asked, "So, boss, how do you play this?"

Xu Guang enthusiastically took out his things and handed the other person a bow.

"It's very simple. You take a bow and shoot at the target. The more you hit, the greater the reward."

Xiao Gong nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "If that's the case, then I'd better not play. Boss, don't let my young age fool you, I'm quite good at archery, and I'm afraid of you..."

Xu Guang waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, it's alright. Just have some fun during the holiday. It's fine if you take all the rewards."

"Since you've put it that way... then I won't stand on ceremony!"

The two chatted happily, and then Xiaogong picked up the bow. Although he felt that the material of the bow was strange, he did not think much of it.

She only realized something was wrong when she tried to draw her bow and shoot an arrow.

Why is it so hard to nock this arrow?

In Xiaogong's eyes, she was holding a bow, her fingers moving constantly, but she just couldn't get the bowstring to go.

But in Xu Guang's eyes, the other person was in a split position with his front wide open, and his fingers were moving incessantly, preparing to hit the target with a high-pressure spray of water.

The view beneath the yukata was completely exposed.

The console's basic function is hypnosis.

One of the earliest effects Xu Guang used when facing a character.

Faced with the last girl he hadn't collected, he chose to see it through to the end.

Let's use this method to bring the game to a perfect close.

Looking at the uncontrollable scene before him, Xu Guang chuckled and stepped forward to ask, "Do you need my help? My bow is different from others. It's normal for a newbie to not find the technique for a while."

Xiaogong coughed twice, then nodded, his face slightly flushed.

He just claimed to be an archery expert, but now he's taking so long to nock the arrow; it's a bit embarrassing.

Xu Guang stepped forward, took the other person's fingers, and began to teach them step by step.

"First do it like this, then do it like this. You should rub your hands together, not pinch them, or you'll easily get hurt."

"Follow my movements, like this..."

"Yes, yes, that's right, you're very talented."

Xiaogong felt he had found the technique.

The other party was indeed right; this foreign bow was exceptionally difficult to use. But who was she?

The girl raised the corners of her mouth and then shot her first arrow.

"Wow, that's good, but your accuracy is a bit off."

Xu Guang sighed and encouraged the other person, "Keep it up!"

Then he wiped the water off his face. You have to admit, he's a hard worker, and he was quite strong. Even though it was only a few centimeters away, the water still sprayed all over his face.

However, it seems that Shinobu and Kujo could also do it; let's try them next time.

As Xiaogong watched his first failure, he was somewhat incredulous.

Could she have encountered a dishonest merchant? Even if the arrow is difficult to obtain, based on her experience, she shouldn't be so off-topic.

She had heard before that many businesses would enthusiastically greet customers and then use seemingly simple but actually manipulative methods to cheat them out of money.

Xu Guang glanced at the status bar above the other person's head and added, "Hey little girl, don't be discouraged. I won't charge you today, you can play as much as you want."

Besides, he's not some unscrupulous merchant; at most, he's a dishonest one.

Just moments ago, Xiao Gong was secretly criticizing the other party, but upon hearing what the other party said, he immediately felt embarrassed and also became more motivated.

She didn't believe it!

The girl raised her head, continued the laborious nocking of the bowstring, and then shot the arrow.

(To be honest, I'm a little hesitant to write like this because of reasons I can't say, but I'm afraid my readers won't find it interesting. I can only say that the next chapter will be even more fun, and there will be three updates tomorrow.)

Chapter 178: The Veteran Actor, the Divine Child

"Sure, I think you've got the hang of it."

At the stall, Xu Guang clapped his hands, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

Everyone says that red fabric faces the sky, and it gets so dry that the edges curl up, but he wants to correct that here.

Wooden clogs pointing upwards can have the same effect, depending on the person pointing upwards.

Clearly, Xiaogong is qualified. Rather, a girl like her could arouse desire in most things, let alone facing him in this position.

However, Xu Guang had a question here.

It's important to know that human hair is caused by body pigments, meaning that whatever color your hair is, other parts of your body will likely be the same color.

Yonomiya's yellowish hair color made the hair color of the rest of her body similar.

In the dimly lit environment, it actually created the effect of a white tiger.

There are surprises everywhere!

"Well……"

Xiao Gong pursed her lips, feeling a rare sense of defeat. She had practiced archery since she was a child, and while she wouldn't say she hit the target every time, she had a very high accuracy rate.
