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

"I didn't mean this..."

Wendy was speaking when she suddenly realized something and stopped talking.

He realized that this guy probably didn't want to eliminate the Abyss Cult at all, which is why he let him go.

Otherwise, He wouldn't believe that someone who could lift Him up with one hand couldn't handle those guys.

"So why?"

Xu Guang raised an eyebrow: "Keeping them around is useful to me."

Wendy nodded. That's more like it.

Based on what He had observed over the past few days, this fellow was extremely ambitious and utilitarian. If anyone was of no use to him or got in his way, the outcome would most likely not be good.

But what use is the abyss to him?

Wendy looked at the other person with expectant eyes, trying to get some information.

Xu Guang ignored him, but glanced around and gave him a meaningful look.

Wendy felt uncomfortable being looked at like that.

He chuckled awkwardly twice: "You want to talk to me about something, right? That's definitely it, isn't it?"

Xu Guang smiled but remained silent.

Wendy shivered and looked into the distance: "Haha, um, I have something to do, can I go first?"

He had a strange, ominous feeling.

I don't want that kind of thing, being filled up or anything.

Xu Guang shook his head and smiled, but didn't make things difficult for her, and let go of Wendy and put her down.

To be honest, he did have some feelings for Wendy, but only a little.

Because the other person gave him a feeling of being a little girl, and if he really wanted to eat, there were so many characters to choose from, it didn't have to be this one.

Wendy felt an unprecedented sense of security as her feet touched the ground. She quickly apologized, then turned and left at lightning speed.

Watching the other person disappear in a flash, Xu Guang smiled, holding a small ball of light in his hand. After putting it in his pocket, he planned to go to the library today.

On one hand, it was to acquire more knowledge, and on the other hand, it was to win over Lisa.

Mature women have their advantages.

In his view, Lisa and the Divine Child have something in common.

Upon arriving at the library entrance, Xu Guang pushed open the door and entered. Lisa, who was sitting inside browsing through books, greeted him with a smile and said, "What a rare guest! Mr. Xu Guang, what brings you here? Are you looking for any books?"

Xu Guang nodded: "Naturally, I hope to find some books about Mondstadt history and the Abyss."

Lisa shook her head: "History books are easy to find, but Abyss research books are not so easy to find. This stuff is forbidden knowledge, and there are only a few in all of Teyvat. If I had to say, there are quite a few in the destroyed kingdoms of Kanria."

Xu Guang smiled noncommittally, walked over to the other person, and looked into those emerald green eyes.

"So even you, a genius who comes along only once in a century, don't have a single clue?"

Chapter 288: Senior Lisa, why are you also...?

Lisa looked at the other person without any surprise, her lips curving into a charming smile.

She leaned back lazily in her chair: "Oh, you even found out about this? That's amazing."

Rather than saying that Xu Guang relied on memories stored in his mind to make a judgment, it would be more accurate to say that this Rose Witch had no intention of hiding at all. It would have been easy to find out about her by asking around in the Knights. The reason she was not famous was entirely due to her lazy personality and her infrequent initiative.

Lisa looked at the person in front of her with great interest.

"So what do you want to know? And what do you want to do?"

As a classic example of someone with a vast knowledge base, Lisa possesses a wealth of knowledge that most people can only dream of, and even some immortal beings would marvel at it.

Many people want to get something out of her, or simply hire her.

Unfortunately, all of these requests were rejected.

The most important point is that she simply doesn't have that much time to pursue the grand undertakings that people talk about.

With all that skill, you might as well use it to brew a few magic potions, or simply take a nap and have some afternoon tea. Why bother trying to live off someone else's empty promises?

In the years that followed, she had acquired far too much knowledge and witnessed far too much darkness.

Even within the Church, which is hailed as an ivory tower, there are some disgusting things hidden.

In conclusion, Lisa does not intend to do anything outside of her job duties, after all, she is just a librarian, except for Xu Guang.

Who can blame them when this little guy is Qin's companion?

Their acting team leader was so dedicated to her work that it was beyond words; even someone as averse to trouble as herself couldn't help but lend a hand.

Lisa sat up slightly, her two long, slender legs crossed, encased in black lace stockings, and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Xu Guang tried to explain his needs in a calm tone.

"I want to cross the abyss and see beyond the starry sky. Do you have any suggestions?"

Lisa paused for a moment, then just shook her head and smiled. She stood up, went to a bookshelf, pulled out two books, and stared at the words on them, lost in thought.

"Should I admire your courage? But then again, anyone who has ever known the abyss will inevitably want to explore it, only to sink deeper and deeper. Despite so many painful lessons, can't they stop you people?"

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to hand the book in her hand to the other person. It contained her research on the Abyss, the kind that was completely uncontaminated.

As Lisa spoke, a hint of helplessness unconsciously crept into her voice.

"The Abyss is not as simple as you think. If you insist on going, I won't stop you."

As for why she didn't speak up to stop them, it was because she understood very well that someone who knew about the starry sky beneath the abyss must have done very deep research, perhaps even reaching the forefront of the world.

At this point, any words become pale and powerless.

It's like someone climbing a mountain, just a little bit away from reaching the summit, but you're advising them to give up.

is it possible?

With such a short distance between them, who could resist the urge to move?

But if you ask Lisa why she stopped?

It's a very simple thing.

She could no longer study the abyss. Even knowing that she would gain knowledge far beyond her time, the price was too high. Continuing under the circumstances that even the gods of the world forbade it was tantamount to suicide.

Instead of this, I'd rather study potions; at least I won't end up looking like a monster.

Xu Guang took the book and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much."

Lisa looked at the other person's handsome face and felt a little regretful. Qin had just fallen in love and had already met someone like this.

But that should dissuade me from playing the piano.

A mad researcher is no good match; she has seen too many researchers who have gone to extremes, some even going so far as to modify themselves and their families.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Lisa said calmly.

She was also a scholar in the academy who never liked studying the abyss.

Those people were stubborn, insane, and almost without exception, devoid of humanity.

Xu Guang noticed the distance in the other person's eyes and smiled, "Actually, I would like to ask you for some knowledge about potions."

Lisa looked at the other person and remained silent for a moment.

Actually, if this person didn't study the abyss, he could do anything else; becoming an alchemist would be a pretty good job.

At least she won't be thinking of breaking up a couple anymore.

"If you promise me that you will never explore the abyss again, I will grant your request."

Lisa softened, even though she knew it might not work, but she thought she might be able to persuade him.

Xu Guang nodded: "Then it is as you said. In fact, I study the Abyss only so that one day I can go to other worlds."

Lisa shook her head: "You don't need to explain to me. I've heard too many things like this. Before I get off work, tell me what you want to ask."

Xu Guang smiled and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

Lisa took the glass bottle containing the pink liquid, looked at it through the light for a while, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Did you do this?"

Both its appearance and the degree of concentration of its elements can be described as excellent.

Xu Guang nodded.

Lisa's expression was strange.

Could this person really be a genius?

Not only did he make achievements in the abyss, but his pharmacological accomplishments also far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Normal people will only choose one research direction. On the one hand, research requires energy and you can't bite off more than you can chew. On the other hand, many people don't have the talent to make more choices.

"I would like to ask if there is any room for improvement in my potion."

Xu Guang said with a smile.

Lisa hesitated for a moment, then called out to the other person, "You can't tell anything just by looking at the potion. How about this, you go to the alchemy room and refine it, and I'll see if the steps need to be improved."

"Ok."

The two left the library and headed to the alchemy room at their residence.

A young man with blond hair saw him on the street and frowned.

"Why is this guy involved with Senior Lisa?"

This person was Mika. He had just made inquiries outside and confirmed the other party's identity and what he had done. He was just about to ask Senior Lisa for her opinion when he found that this guy had beaten him to it again.

How can this person have connections with so many seniors?

Mika sighed, finally giving up the idea of ​​consulting with others.

Looking at the document in his hand, he recalled the intelligence he had gathered.

The traveling doctor, who saved many families, was handsome and had a charismatic personality.

No matter how you look at it, she's a great partner, so his previous worries seem unnecessary.

Should we continue the investigation?

Mika fell into deep thought.

Chapter 289: Improving the Potion

Meanwhile, Xu Guang and Lisa arrived at the alchemy room.

The facilities inside were quite clean, showing the care and attention taken by the person who maintained the place.

Lisa arrived at a potion-making platform, adjusted the equipment, and then signaled to Xu Guang that they could begin.

She wanted to see if the other party was truly talented.

Xu Guang naturally had no objection to this, but after reading the materials, he frowned slightly.

Seeing his expression, Lisa asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Some materials are missing."

"That's impossible. I have all the common alchemical materials on the market, except for some extremely rare ones."

Xu Guang shook his head: "No, the materials I need are not rare; many shops can sell them."

Lisa raised an eyebrow: "Tell me the name, and I'll go find it for you."

"Cistanche deserticola, Epimedium brevicornu."

Lisa: “…”

For those who are proficient in potion-making, they can often tell what kind of potion to make just by hearing its name.

Even a layman could tell what those two were about.

It's not exactly rare; most shops in Liyue have it. Lisa was unusually stuttering a bit.

"You...uh...okay...I remember I should have some on my herb shelf, I'll go get it for you."
