Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

"Hey, Yichen, I'm talking to you..."

Why are you so fixated on the 'assembly' part?

When ordinary people book a funeral service, they are most concerned about things like the material of the coffin and the scale of the funeral.

You're going around looking for body parts and asking about how they were pieced together... You can't actually be having a premonition that you're about to be chopped into mincemeat, can you? Hahaha!

She had initially spoken in a somewhat joking tone, but now she felt the idea was simply too outrageous.

However, Yi Chen turned his head and nodded very firmly:

"Hmm, maybe."

Hu Tao's smile froze instantly, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Before Hu Tao could even process this explosive answer, Yi Chen had already dropped an even more shocking reason:

"Because I plan to confess to Lord Keqing of Yuheng Star tomorrow,"

"So, I'm worried she'll just draw her sword and chop me down."

It's always better to be prepared and have professional assembly services available in advance, right?

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Walnut was completely petrified, her mouth agape in an "O" shape, oblivious to the fact that the customer registration book in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Her brain seemed to be processing this overwhelming amount of information.

Even Zhongli, who is usually calm and collected, completely lost his composure at this moment.

The teacup in his hand tilted slightly, and a few drops of expensive tea splashed onto his sleeve, but he didn't notice.

Confess your feelings to Keqing?

Is it expected to be cut?

So you're booking the mortuary assembly service at the Rebirth Hall?!

Even someone as knowledgeable as the Rock King Emperor had never encountered someone with such "clear" logic, such "thorough" preparation, and such... inconceivable thinking!

Zhongli felt that his experience and wisdom accumulated over thousands of years were being challenged and impacted like never before.

How could this kid, with the most serious expression, say the most outrageous things, and still arrange things so... in such a logical and interconnected way?

"In short, Walnut, Zhongli Guest Elder,"

Yi Chen clasped his hands together.

"Because my physical recovery ability is relatively excellent, I might not die completely so easily. If I get slashed but not quite dead yet, the subsequent repair work will be up to you guys!"

He seemed to think that personal connections alone weren't enough, so he very tactfully added a sentence.

"Of course, if there's an extra charge, that's fine too! We'll make sure to use the best materials and the most professional techniques!"

Zhong Li coughed twice, trying to bring the young man with the eccentric thinking back to reality.

“Young friend Yichen, please forgive my bluntness, but based on my understanding of Lady Keqing of Yuheng Star, although she acts swiftly and is a master swordsman, she is by no means a person who indiscriminately kills innocent people.”

Your worries are... far too exaggerated.

He simply couldn't understand what kind of perception could allow someone to so naturally connect "confessing one's love" and "being dismembered."

Yi Chen simply waved his hand dismissively, as if to say, "My mind is made up."

“Oh dear, Mr. Zhongli, you can’t say that.”

Always prepare for the worst; after all, everyone dies eventually.

His logic remains unmatched.

After saying that, Yi Chen actually began to seriously examine a sample coffin displayed next to him, and even reached out and tapped the wooden board, as if testing its thickness and material.

"Besides, I get along so well with Master Hu, and his business acumen seems very reliable,"

He turned his head and gave Hu Tao a bright smile.

"So let's order the coffin first! By the way, Master Hu, can I try out this style first? To see if the size is right and if it's comfortable to lie on."

As Hu Tao listened to Yi Chen's shocking yet logically consistent speech, and watched his natural attitude as if he were choosing a bed for the night, her plum blossom eyes shone brightly, filled with the ecstatic joy of finding a kindred spirit.

"Oh dear! Sir Yichen!"

You are truly the most visionary, the most prepared, and the most practical client I have ever encountered in my career at Walnut!

Without a doubt!

She couldn't wait to shove the VIP gold card of the Hall of Rebirth into Yichen's hands.

"Try it! You must try it! Please feel free to try!"

Try whatever looks good to you! If you're not satisfied, we'll change it!

We guarantee to pick out the most comfortable, sturdiest, and most suitable... uh, suitable for all situations!

Zhongli stood there, watching as one dared to ask and the other dared to answer, and the two began to have a heated discussion about the comfort of the coffin and the interior furnishings. He silently raised his hand and pressed his temples again.

The Emperor felt more helpless today than he had in the entire past year combined.

This young friend Yichen is indeed extraordinary.

Several hours flew by during Hu Tao and Yi Chen's lively "coffin tasting party".

These two are quite quirky and have an unconventional way of thinking;

A person with an eccentric way of thinking and an overly pragmatic approach found surprising resonance in the discussion of "what happens after death".

Hu Tao greatly admires Yi Chen's extraordinary attitude towards life, which is characterized by "taking life and death lightly, making arrangements in advance, and even being picky about the comfort of the coffin."

Yichen, on the other hand, was deeply impressed by Hu Tao's casually composed, darkly humorous poems, which were full of "Wangshengtang characteristics" and found them particularly creative and infectious.

The two hit it off immediately and almost became sworn siblings on the spot.

Finally, after deciding on the coffin...

Hu Tao rushed out to personally supervise the progress of the coffin "tailor-made" for Yi Chen.

In the side hall of the Hall of Rebirth, only Yi Chen and Zhong Li remained for the time being.

The lively and cheerful atmosphere in the air gradually subsided.

Zhongli walked slowly to the coffee table, brewed two more cups of hot tea, and the fragrant aroma dispelled the subtle lingering atmosphere from their earlier discussion about the coffin planks.

Yi Chen relaxed and naturally sat down opposite Zhong Li.

Through his casual conversation with Hu Tao, he had learned that the distinguished guest gentleman in front of him was practically a living encyclopedia of Liyue, knowledgeable in everything from astronomy and geography to ancient history, antiques, and local customs.

Zhongli pushed a cup of tea in front of Yichen.

"Young friend Yichen,"

"It's quite rare to see you chatting so happily with the Hall Master just now. The Hall Master... has a very quick mind, and ordinary people often find it difficult to keep up with her train of thought."

Yi Chen took the tea, smelled it, and thought it smelled particularly good. He chuckled.

"Master Hu is a wonderful person, her ideas are really interesting! It's a pleasure to chat with her!"

Zhongli nodded silently.

"Indeed. Although the hall master seems mischievous, he also has his insightful aspects."

Then, he changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, young friend, you're from Mondstadt?"

The free city blessed by the wind god is quite different from the scenery of my Liyue.

Young friend, have you come on official business?

Zhongli asked the question casually, but in reality, she had finally taken the first step she had been waiting for—to formally get to know him.

When Zhongli asked, Yichen toned down his playful antics with Hu Tao and nodded with a serious expression:

"I came to Liyue with the Knights of Favonius delegation for two reasons: first, on official diplomatic business, and second, to learn how to make money."

Zhongli picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

"With your abilities, young friend, you must have made great progress."

"Diplomatic matters are mainly Captain Kaiya's responsibility; I don't get involved much."

Yi Chen waved his hand, then a serious look, as if he were studying academic subjects, appeared on his face.

"However, I have learned a little bit about making money from Lord Ningguang, and I have also made some rudimentary summaries myself."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of papers filled with writing from his bag and handed them to Zhongli with both hands.

"This is a compilation of my recent learning and thoughts. There are many crude and superficial views in it. I would appreciate Mr. Zhongli's kind guidance."

Zhong Li took the heavy paper. His gaze fell, scanning the words line by line.

The closer you look, the more relaxed and indifferent he appears becomes, the more focused and surprised he seems.

The paper is not only well-organized and rich in data, but also commendable for its unique perspective and bold yet meticulous ideas.

It can accurately capture the essence of Liyue's business model, and also keenly perceive the feasibility and potential risks of combining it with the Mondstadt environment.

The proposed improvements were not simply copied verbatim, but rather full of ingenious ideas adapted to local conditions.

This child... is definitely not just a brute.

His meticulousness, efficiency in learning, and depth of thought far exceed what ordinary people can imagine.

The value of this paper cannot be described as "superficial" or "shallow".

Zhongli raised her eyes and looked at Yichen again, her gaze now filled with undisguised admiration.

His satisfaction with this young Qilin rose to another level.

"Young friend Yichen, you are too modest."

Zhongli gently placed the paper on the table and tapped it with his finger.

This article is by no means a superficial work.

His understanding of the spirit of the Liyue Contract and the operation of commercial guilds is quite insightful. What is even more commendable is that many of his ideas are based on the realities of Mondstadt and are not just castles in the air.

In particular, the suggestion to leverage Mond Winery's strengths and the needs of adventurers to build a unique trade system is insightful and highly feasible.

He paused, his gaze towards Yichen carrying the expectations of an elder for an outstanding junior.

"Young friend, you have both talent and hard work in business. Given time, you will surely achieve great things."

Upon receiving such high praise from the unfathomable Mr. Zhongli, Yichen scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, but the joy in his eyes was undeniable.

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Zhongli! Actually, there are still many things I don't understand, such as long-term risk management and..."

When it came to specific issues, Yi Chen immediately switched to a humble and eager-to-learn attitude, asking Zhong Li questions about several difficult points that had been troubling him.

Zhongli was happy to answer, his words were insightful and full of allusions, and he could often get to the heart of the matter in just a few words, making Yichen feel enlightened.

The two engaged in a question-and-answer session, as if they were not in a side hall of the Hall of Rebirth, but in a refined room for academic discussion.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that Hu Tao came running back excitedly, shouting that the coffin was ready, that the two of them reluctantly stopped talking.

Zhongli looked at the bright-eyed, knowledge-hungry young man before him and sighed inwardly.

This child is pure of heart and has extremely high comprehension. If properly guided, his future is limitless.

Chapter 22 Young Qilin are forbidden from early romantic relationships!

The next day, at the Qunyu Pavilion.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the exquisite window frames. Yi Chen sat at his workstation, processing today's documents at an astonishing speed. His efficiency left Bai Wen, who was standing next to him, speechless with admiration.

However, after finishing his work, he didn't rush off to help or study new business cases as usual. Instead, he sat there alone with his chin resting on his hand, his eyes vacant, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously.

It's been so long since I confessed my feelings... What are the steps again?

Should I greet you first? Or should I just say it directly?

Should we prepare a gift? What if she suddenly draws her sword?

Which opening line is better? The direct and enthusiastic style of Mondstadt, or the subtle and reserved style of Liyue?
