Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

Based on the principle that "it's a waste not to use the cavalry captain's secret stash," he somehow managed to "slightly" extort a considerable sum of money from Kaiya.

Immediately afterwards, the Adventurers' Guild's Request Board was flooded with a huge number of lucrative but extremely demanding gathering requests overnight. The targets ranged from common Windmills and Small Lamp Grass to rare Falling Berry and Wind-shroom, covering all of Teyvat, and the quantity requirements were staggering.

The lower-level adventurers cheered, as if they had seen a golden road to financial freedom, while Guild Master Serius, seeing this sudden surge in commissions, was once again plunged into confusion about the currency system and the difficulty of the missions.

Almost simultaneously, flower shops in Mondstadt and even flower merchants who rushed over from Liyue welcomed this big spender.

Orders poured in like snowflakes, almost emptying the market of every flower available and with a name. According to witnesses, the quantity was so large that it was "enough to cover the entire city of Mondstadt from the square to the city gates three times over, with some left over."

For a whole week, Yi Chen forced himself to suppress the instinctive urge to "check in" three times a day.

He processed documents efficiently as usual, accompanied patrols, and even exceeded his work quota, but his gaze would occasionally drift to the window, sweeping over the figures who were secretly busy setting things up, and then quickly return to his own, as if nothing had happened.

However, his tight lips and the occasional unconscious tapping of his fingers on the table betrayed his inner turmoil.

After get off work one night, Yi Chen sat alone at home, staring at a thick bill on the table that had accumulated to over thirty million Mora, so thick it could be used as a brick. He let out a long, complicated sigh.

He rubbed his temples, looked at the astronomical figure, and finally just smiled helplessly and softly.

"I hope... Qin will like it..."

The next morning, it was just dawn.

"Commander Qin, the weather is so nice today, why don't we go for a morning run outside the city? You're always working at your desk, you need to stretch your muscles."

Yi Chen's voice sounded perfectly natural, with just the right amount of concern, but his heart was pounding loudly in his ears.

Although Qin was somewhat surprised by his sudden suggestion, looking at the fresh morning light outside the window, she felt it made sense and nodded in agreement.

The two ran side by side out of the gates of Mondstadt, their figures gradually disappearing into the morning mist and greenery leading to the Dawn Winery.

Shortly after they left, as if by a silent command, the entire city of Mondstadt came to life!

Almost all the knights of the Knights of Favonius were mobilized, along with a large number of adventurers who had accepted "special temporary commissions." Like well-trained worker bees, they poured out from every corner, carrying, hugging, and pushing mountains of colorful flowers and various decorative materials, and quickly and orderly rushed to the pre-set locations.

"Hurry! Hurry! Get it done quickly! We have to finish before the commander gets back!"

Kaiya, unusually, didn't slack off. His one eye scanned the entire area, issuing commands from time to time.

"Over there! Yes! It should cascade down like a waterfall! That's the effect I wanted! Hahaha!"

Lisa sat leisurely on a bench by the square, occasionally her fingertips dancing with light as she precisely lifted some overly heavy bouquets to a suitable height.

Amber, like a busy little red rabbit, shuttled between different areas, relaying messages and helping to adjust details, her face flushed with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

"Yura! The color of this bow looks wrong!... Ah! Bennett! Watch out for that basket of roses!"

Yura stood on high ground with her arms crossed, seemingly observing coldly, but her tightly pursed lips betrayed a subtle and complex emotion, and she couldn't help but occasionally give orders.

"The flower wall on the left doesn't have enough depth. I should interweave those white Cecilia flowers... Hmph, I'll remember this grudge. How could they make me do something like this?"

Even Diluc made a rare appearance at the entrance to Angel's Gift, directing the bartenders and waiters to clean the facade and hang elegant, understated flower baskets on the windowsills and under the eaves. Although his expression remained indifferent, he did not stop this almost crazy arrangement.

As dawn broke, the earth was gradually bathed in sunlight, which quickly enveloped and adorned the city with countless flowers, giving it a dazzling golden edge.

Chrysanthemums twirl in the breeze, iridescent roses cascade from the eaves like waterfalls, Cecilia flowers release their sweet fragrance at street corners, and hyacinth mushrooms adorn the alleyways like tiny lanterns…

Mondstadt seems to be undergoing a magnificent yet quiet magic, transforming from a resolute city of knights into a vast, dreamlike garden.

Everything proceeded in a tense, passionate, yet tacitly silent atmosphere, all in preparation for the final confession that was destined to shake the entire city of Mondstadt.

When Qin and Yichen finished their morning run and returned to Mondstadt bathed in the rising sun, the sight that came into Qin's eyes made her hold her breath instantly, and her steps involuntarily stopped on the stone bridge over the moat.

Before my eyes, the familiar, resilient city full of wind and freedom is no longer there.

Instead, it was a vast, magnificent sea of ​​flowers, a sea that seemed to have crushed and scattered every color and fragrance.

Rainbow roses are woven into intricate arches that stretch from the bridgehead to the horizon;

The pure white Cecilia flowers cascade down like a waterfall from every window sill and eaves;

The windmill chrysanthemums twirl merrily on the street corner, adorned with the soft glow of the wind-blown mushrooms;

Dudu lotus, little lamp grass, fallen strawberry... all the flowers she could name and those she couldn't, filled every inch of space in an almost extravagant way, gently enveloping the stone buildings and gray streets.

The air was no longer filled with the scent of wine and dandelions, but with an intense, intoxicating fragrance of a hundred flowers.

"……this……"

Qin Zhanlan's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively covered her mouth.

Yi Chen maintained his composure on the surface. He gently held Qin's hand and led her step by step into this "city of flowers" that bloomed for him.

On the deserted streets, only the fragrance of flowers kept them company.

But Qin could sense that countless gazes were secretly and passionately directed at her from behind the windows, through the gaps in the flower bushes, and from the rooftop.

Every time they passed a special cluster of flowers, Yichen would stop and whisper to her in a gentle yet earnest tone that she had never heard before.

“These Cecilias were picked from the top of Stargazing Cliff last night, and they smell of sea breeze and star dew.”

"This iridescent rose wall was 'sponsored' by Kaiya... although I think his savings might be a little hurt."

"Those windmill chrysanthemums were collected by Amber after she searched all the hills around Mondstadt..."

"Those glass lilies and Qingxin were sent by the Liyue caravan as an 'urgent' shipment after they heard about it..."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached her ears, as well as those of the hiders.

Behind each bouquet of flowers, there seems to be a story, a sentiment.

Qin listened quietly, feeling her heart filled with a warm and overflowing emotion, and her eyes welled up slightly.

Finally, they arrived at the square in the center of the city.

This place was decorated like a dream.

Flowers formed a thick carpet, and beneath the wind god statue was a giant heart made of the most beautiful flowers.

Just then, a particularly refreshing and gentle breeze swept by, carrying a few glistening petals.

There seemed to be a faint scent of cider in the air.

The next moment, a cluster of flowers, carefully wrapped by the wind, looked so delicate and fresh that it seemed as if they had just left the branch.

The perfectly petaled Sumeru Rose, the radiant Liyue Robe, and the dreamlike Patissalan.

As if held by an invisible hand, it landed lightly and precisely in Yi Chen's already prepared hands.

Yi Chen took a deep breath, holding the precious bouquet of flowers that had traveled thousands of miles and seemed to carry the "assistance" of the gods, and turned to face Qin.

He called her name, his voice low and hoarse with excitement, yet incredibly clear, echoing in the silent square where only the sea of ​​flowers bore witness.

"This is the hundredth confession I've prepared for you."

Qin's face was already flushed, the burning heat spreading from her cheeks to her fingertips, and her heartbeat was so loud that it seemed the whole world could hear it.

The dazzling sea of ​​flowers before her, the countless expectant gazes behind her, and the incredibly earnest eyes of the person in front of her... everything made her feel both dizzy and incredibly clear-headed.

She did not immediately take the bouquet.

Instead, she stepped forward and, to Yi Chen's astonishment, stretched out her slightly trembling arm and pulled him into a tight, forceful embrace!

As if to confirm his existence, to firmly imprint the temperature of this moment.

Qin buried her cheek in his shoulder, which was damp with sweat and sun, her voice muffled, thick with nasal tone, and filled with undisguised, overwhelming joy and emotion:

"This final confession... was really... too cunning..."

"—I refuse."

The next second, Qin cupped Yi Chen's stunned face, slightly tiptoed, and under the watchful eyes of all the "hidden" viewers, placed a gentle yet firm kiss on his forehead.

Like the investiture of a knight, it carries blessings, recognition, and a solemn promise.

"One hundred times..."

"ended."

She stepped back slightly, gazing at his completely stunned expression, her face still flushed, but her smile held a hint of slyness and immense anticipation.

"So, next time..."

"From the very first time..."

"I will definitely say yes."

The soft, moist touch on his forehead felt like an electric current, sending a tingling sensation through Yi Chen's body from head to toe.

He opened his mouth, trying to scrape out any syllable from that jumbled mess of code in his brain.

Qin's fingertips gently touched his lips, stopping him from speaking incoherently.

Her eyes were so tender they could drown anyone.

"Thank you, Yichen."

She looked into his eyes and said, word by word, with perfect clarity:

"I'm really happy."

"besides……"

"I like you."

Having said that, before the guy in front of her, who looked like he'd been ganged up on by a group of Lei Ying sorcerers, could react, Qin abruptly turned around, facing the "hiding places" that were already itching to make their move, took a deep breath, and announced in a bright, cheerful voice:

"Okay—!"

"Everyone, stop hiding!"

"I saw it! I heard it!"

"banquet--"

Her voice echoed in the flower-filled square, igniting the final fuse.

"—Let's begin!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh—!!!"

Instantly, cheers, whistles, and laughter erupted from all directions like a tsunami!

People poured out from every corner, flower petals were thrown into the sky, music suddenly started, and fine wine and food were quickly placed on long tables!

The entire city of Mondstadt was instantly immersed in an unprecedented ocean of romance and celebration amidst this boundless sea of ​​flowers!

Only in the center of the square remained the black-haired youth with a faint lip print on his forehead and a bunch of expensive flowers in his hands, still frozen in place.

Chapter 32 Carrying

【Alright, alright~ Host-chan is really just a nobody~?(???)?】

The system's distinctly teasing loli voice rang in Yi Chen's mind again, finally forcibly pulling him back from his dazed, soul-stirring state.

[It was just a girl kissing my forehead, and it turned into this embarrassing situation?]

Yi Chen shook his head violently, as if he could shake off the lingering, soft, and burning sensation on his forehead, but it only made the throbbing sensation spread more clearly throughout his body.

He coughed twice, his face still flushed, and while everyone's attention was drawn to the banquet that had begun in the center of the square, he slipped silently into a dimly lit alleyway piled with wine barrels.

"Shut up! What do you know, you lousy system!"

He lowered his voice and retorted irritably to the air, but the tips of his ears were bright red.

"...Did that little virgin eat your family's rice? Enough nonsense! Hurry up and settle the reward!"

[Tsk, host, you're so ungrateful! Your heart was pounding just now, and you still say I don't understand!]

[Ding-dong!]

[Task rewards are being calculated]

A dazzling light effect, visible only to Yi Chen, exploded before his eyes.
