Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

She gently closed the door, walked to Yichen's bedside, and looked at his slightly red cheeks, which had been poked by Youla, with a complicated expression.

Chapter 4 Change of Identity

The next day, Yi Chen woke up from his coma. He rubbed his temples and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.

After a brief period of confusion, memories flooded back like a tide.

"Damn it... My luxurious villa, worth over ten million Mora, which I haven't even lived in for a single day! The Abyss Order... I'll remember this grudge!"

Just then, the ward door was gently pushed open, and Barbara walked in carrying warm water. When she saw Yichen wake up, a joyful smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Mr. Yichen, you're awake! How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Yi Chen suppressed the ferocious expression on his face, forced a relatively gentle smile at Barbara, and nodded.

"Yes, I'm awake. Thank you, Miss Barbara, I feel much better."

He took the water glass, took a sip, then threw back the covers and got out of bed.

"I have urgent business to attend to and need to go to the Knights first, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Oh? You just woke up, you need to rest some more..."

Before Barbara could finish speaking, Yi Chen had already put on his coat in a flash, waved to her in a hurry, and strode out of the ward.

Stepping out of Mondstadt Cathedral, the cool morning breeze invigorated Yichen.

Instead of heading straight to the Knights' headquarters, he deliberately slowed down and strolled along the familiar streets.

His gaze was no longer filled with the pure curiosity and playfulness of the past, but had become sharp and focused as he carefully observed the scene and atmosphere in Mondstadt after the Dvalin attack.

He saw craftsmen repairing damaged houses, merchants diligently running their businesses despite their worried expressions, and Knights of Favonius busily maintaining order and helping the people…

Many of the scenes he witnessed coincided with the post-disaster reconstruction and community mutual assistance model he had envisioned in the paper he had given to Lisa.

This gave him a sense of relief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

It seems my research has been somewhat useful.

But more than anything, he saw the scars left by the disaster—the lingering fear on people's faces, children afraid to play in open spaces, a noticeably sparse crowd in the market, and a sense of tension and unease permeating the air.

Yi Chen silently kept all of this in mind: which areas were severely damaged and needed priority assistance, which industries were affected and needed policy support, and how to manage public sentiment...

He observed very carefully, his brows furrowed as he pondered a solution.

This calm, focused demeanor, with his heart set on the city-state, is completely different from the "kirin cub" in Liyue who was always thinking about making money, confessing his love, and making the older sisters both laugh and cry.

For Yi Chen, this transformation was perfectly natural.

In his position, he will do his job.

In Liyue, he was a guest, a learner, and someone who was being taken care of.

With Master Liuyun, Senior Sister Shenhe, Ganyu, Ningguang and others in front of him, he can confidently show his playful and unruly side, and can explore and cause trouble like a real "little cub".

But in Mondstadt, he was the acting Grand Master's assistant.

This is where he first came into this world, the place that first accepted him when he had nothing and was at a loss, giving him a sense of belonging and the meaning of "home".

The troupe leader trusts him, his friends need him, and every inch of this land is closely connected to him.

Protecting this place is not out of any grand salvationist sentiment or heroic dream, but simply because of the simplest and purest form of gratitude.

To repay the initial kindness of being taken in, and to repay that rare peace and warmth.

Therefore, when Mondstadt faces a crisis, he must put away his carefree attitude in Liyue and shoulder his responsibilities.

This is the "position" he chose, and also the "task" he must fulfill.

Yi Chen hurried into the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius and knocked directly on the door of the small research studio next to the library.

Sure enough, Lisa was sitting inside, with several thick ancient books and some instruments emitting elemental fluctuations spread out in front of her. There were also many documents piled up beside her, which were obviously for Qin to process.

Miss Lisa,

Yi Chen got straight to the point.

"Any results? Tracking that crystal?"

Lisa looked up from a pile of documents and saw Yichen. A lazy smile appeared on her face. She tapped a crystal ball on the table that was emitting a faint purplish-black light.

"Of course~ the little stone that my little cutie found was a big help."

Inside the crystal ball, a clear, unsettling stream of dark energy was pointing in a specific direction.

"Sister, I have roughly located the source of that nauseating abyssal aura. It is in a hidden area deep within the Wind Dragon Ruins."

It seems those shady characters have found a rat hole that suits their nature.

As Lisa spoke, she sighed softly and pointed to another stack of documents waiting to be processed next to her.

"However, as you can see, my little darling, the destruction caused by the Wind Demon Dragon has not yet subsided. The order in the city needs to be maintained, the wounded need to be taken care of, and most of the knights are unable to spare the time."

Organizing a expedition to quell the rebellion will likely have to be postponed for some time.

"No need to wait."

Yi Chen spoke with almost no hesitation, his voice firm and resolute.

"Just tell me the exact location, and I'll take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Lisa's languid expression instantly vanished, replaced by obvious worry.

She put down her pen, stood up, walked to Yichen, and carefully examined his still somewhat pale face.

"Little cutie, I know you're very strong, stronger than most people imagine."

However, the Abyss Order is no ordinary monster; they are cunning, treacherous, and possess a multitude of unpredictable and extremely dangerous methods.

Her tone grew serious.

"What's more, you just returned from a long journey to Liyue yesterday, experienced a great battle, and even... you fainted from anger."

It would be too risky to go there now.

Listen to me, wait a few more days until the Knights can spare some men..."

Lisa made no attempt to hide her worry; she genuinely cared about Yichen's safety.

Yi Chen felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the genuine concern in Lisa's eyes, but he still shook his head.

He raised his hand, gently clenched his fist, and felt the surging power within him.

The self-healing factor that grants immortality, the bloodline of the Kirin, the results of training in Liyue, and the determination in his heart to fight for his homeland.

He met Lisa's worried gaze with a confident, even slightly arrogant, smile.

"It's alright, Miss Lisa."

"because--"

"I'm very strong."

This statement is not meant to be boastful, but rather to reflect a calm understanding of one's absolute strength and a determination to take responsibility.

Yi Chen knew clearly what he was doing and that he was capable of accomplishing it.

Looking at the unwavering determination and confidence in his eyes, Lisa knew that no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

She remained silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly, picked up a simple map that had been prepared beforehand from the table, marked a point on it, and handed it to Yichen.

"Sigh... I can't do anything with you. Be careful, and don't be reckless. If things get out of hand, retreat immediately, understand?"

Yi Chen took the map, looked at it carefully, and memorized it.

He gave Lisa a reassuring smile:

"Don't worry, Miss Lisa. Wait for my good news."

After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation. His figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, heading straight for the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Lisa looked at the empty doorway and rubbed her temples worriedly.

"Sigh...they're all such a worry...I need to find a way to help Qin a bit more..."

Chapter 5 The Man of Red Temperature

A moment later, deep within the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Several shadowy figures were surrounding the East Wind Dragon, which was lying prostrate on the ground, groaning in pain.

Obscure incantations murmured from the Abyss Mage's mouth, and filthy energy, like chains, continuously wrapped around Dvalin's wounded body, attempting to drag his already riddled will into the abyss.

at this time--

It wasn't a natural sunset, but rather countless thick, dark clouds surging in from all directions, as if the entire sky was being swallowed up by some terrifying emotion in an instant.

The wind began to howl, but it did not originate from the inherent turbulent airflow of the Wind Dragon Ruins. Instead, it carried an unprecedented, soul-chilling rage.

The abyss mages, who were casting spells, shuddered violently, and the incantation abruptly stopped. They looked up in alarm—

Beneath the churning dark clouds high in the sky, a figure stood silently. The wind whipped up his clothes and black hair, obscuring his face, but his eyes, like a blood moon tearing through the darkness, emitted an eerie, cold, and otherworldly red light.

what is that? !

"You...who are you?!"

The leader of the Ice Abyss mages spoke in a shrill voice, trembling uncontrollably, and instinctively pointed his staff at the uninvited guests in the air.

They tried to urge Tvalin to tear this sudden threat apart.

"Quick! Attack him!"

However, no matter how they tried to activate the cursed crystals buried within Dvalin's body, the once raging dragon remained completely unresponsive.

The abyss mages turned around in astonishment, only to see that Dvalin's huge amber dragon eyes had been stained with an eerie blood red at some point, and strange, slowly rotating patterns appeared in his pupils, exactly the same as those in the eyes of the figure in the air!

Dvalin let out a low whimper, as if it were a release or a feeling of being completely controlled. Its huge dragon wings suddenly spread out, and it soared into the sky on its own, ignoring the stunned abyss mage below. It quickly disappeared into the thick dark clouds.

After temporarily removing Dvalin, the "friendly unit," from the battlefield, Yi Chen's Mangekyou Sharingan slowly moved down, his cold gaze locking onto the few tiny, ugly abyss mages below who were trembling with fear.

He had never been this angry in his entire life.

He's already famous.

He worked so hard to earn money, and hadn't even enjoyed a single day of the good life! It's all gone!

And the culprits are these few chattering...stinky bugs right in front of us!

Yi Chen's lips slowly curved into an extremely cold, even evil, arc.

That smile held none of its former sunshine, only boundless rage and a cruel, mocking glint in its eyes.

"Ready..."

"...Did it vanish with the wind?"

The moment the words fell, the wind elemental power of the entire Wind Dragon Ruins... no, the entire area, surged wildly in an unprecedentedly frenzied manner!

Visible air currents converged from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, forming a colossal tornado that covered the entire Fenglong Ruins!

The wind barrier was so thick and the energy so violent that it almost tore space apart!

The ruins were easily swept up and crushed, and vegetation was uprooted and instantly reduced to dust. The world seemed to be filled only with the destructive howl of the wind!

Yi Chen hovered at the very center of the eye of the storm, where an eerie calm prevailed. His black hair danced wildly in the turbulent airflow, and his blood-red kaleidoscope coldly surveyed the black dots below, struggling desperately in the storm, their screams swallowed by the wind.

Since that day, the name "Storm Dragon Ruins" has been permanently removed from the latest official map released by Mondstadt.

It's not because of the name change, nor because of being forgotten.

But because...

When Amber, a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius, cautiously flew to the area of ​​the former Wind Dragon Ruins to conduct an investigation, all she saw was a vast, flat, smooth basin, as if it had been thoroughly wiped clean by some supreme being...

Not a blade of grass grows, not a single tile remains.

Not even a trace of the civilization that once existed can be found.

At this moment, Dvalin, who had already flown far away, suddenly shook his huge head. The eerie blood red in his eyes receded like a tide, returning to a clear amber color.

Who am I? Where am I? I just... it seems like I flew away without even realizing it?

It looked around blankly, then its attention was suddenly drawn to the terrifying tornado in the distance that stretched from the sky to the earth, connecting the clouds and the ground.
