Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

Yi Chen finally breathed a long sigh of relief, carefully carried Shen He to the stone bed and settled her down, then gently tucked her in.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his senior sister's peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction for completing a major task.

Finally... Senior Sister no longer has to suffer from that evil aura.

Just then, the long-lost voice of the loli system cheerfully rang in his mind:

[Ding~! Congratulations, Host, you've finally completed this arduous task! Hooray! ★,°:.☆(￣▽￣)/$:.°★。]

[Mission Reward: 10 consecutive draws have been issued! Start drawing now!]

Yi Chen's eyes lit up. Before he could even complain about the system's exaggerated tone, a virtual gashapon machine, which only he could see and which was flashing with dazzling light effects, appeared in front of him and began to spin rapidly.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained:]

[Conqueror's Haki: Young man, you have the qualifications to become a king. Set sail and become the Pirate King!]

[Huo Lingfei's Talent: The Most Talented Person!]

[The same move can only be used once against a Saint, and the same applies to you: Passive Skill! Your body will instinctively develop resistance or even find a way to counter a move you've seen before!]

[Mamba Elbow (Beauty Version): When you use Mamba Elbow, your elbow will automatically be covered with a cool black energy pattern, making you look infinitely closer to Mamba! (Physical persuasiveness greatly enhanced)]

[Aesthetic Enhancement x6: Since the host is already devastatingly handsome, almost transcending the dimensional barrier, the reward automatically transforms into an enhanced aura! When you are expressionless and silent, you will automatically exude an aura of unparalleled handsome youth, 'of noble birth, aloof and proud'! Captivating all is no longer a dream!]

Yi Chen's lips twitched slightly as he listened. What on earth was all this about?

Why is there a beautified version of the Mamba Elbow?!

Before he could think it through, the system's voice sounded again, this time a little more serious:

[Main Quest Issued: Please proceed immediately to Inazuma to save the people who are suffering terribly.]

[Mission Reward: 10 Resurrection Coins]

"Resurrection Coins?!"

Yi Chen was startled, and the playful expression on his face instantly vanished.

The reward for resurrection coins is a whopping ten!

what does this mean?

This means that Inazuma's situation is probably far more serious and dangerous than he imagined!

He had never even learned much about the isolated Land of Thunder.

Yi Chen's gaze sharpened, and a surge of heat quietly welled up in his chest.

Now that's what a mission should be like!

Compared to the previous inexplicable "confess your love a hundred times" task that caused him to suffer social death a hundred times, this is a far cry from the previous one.

This is the kind of thing that can truly help others and save lives—that's what he really wants to do!

This is what he should be doing!

"Inazuma, huh..."

Yi Chen muttered to himself, his eyes showing no fear, but rather eagerness to try.

He turned back and looked deeply at Shen He, who was still unconscious, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes.

His senior sister had just settled down when he was about to leave…

But he had to go.

Yi Chen quickly got up, found paper and pen, thought for a moment, and left a letter.

He didn't write many details, only saying that he had urgent business to attend to immediately, and told his senior sister to rest assured and that he would be back soon after he finished his business.

He carefully folded the letter and gently tucked it under Shen He's pillow.

Then, Yi Chen quickly walked out of the cave and found Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, who was preening his feathers.

"Master, I'm entrusting my senior sister to your care. I have something I must do immediately and need to leave for a while."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun glanced at him, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end he just flapped his wings.

"Go on, go on, none of you are any peace of mind. With me here with Shen He, nothing will go wrong. As for you... be careful in everything you do, and don't be reckless."

"Thank you, Master! I will!"

Yi Chen gave a reassuring smile, and then stopped hesitating.

A gentle breeze suddenly rose around him, lifting his body into a streak of light, and without hesitation, he sped off towards the east, towards the land shrouded in thunderstorms—Inazuma.

Inside the cave, Shen He, lying on the stone bed, seemed to sense something. He frowned slightly in his sleep and murmured unconsciously.

"Junior...brother..."

Her fingers curled slightly, as if trying to grasp something, but she only held onto a piece of cold air.

Under the pillow, the letter, its ink still wet, lay quietly.

At this moment, Yi Chen has already braved the winds and waves, embarking on a new journey without hesitation.

Saving the people of Inazuma—this goal filled him with strength.

Chapter 3 Amaterasu

A few months later, Inazuma.

The sixth seat of the Fools' Executive, "Scattered Soldier," stood amidst a scene of devastation.

This place was originally one of the Evil Eye factories that he had painstakingly built, but now only charred ruins and lingering smoke remain.

A debt collector from the Fools' Clan was crawling on the ground, trembling as he reported the situation.

"...It was the people of the Heavenly Realm, sir. They attacked like madmen, a sudden, large-scale assault; our men couldn't hold them off at all..."

The soldier's handsome yet sinister face was expressionless, only his eyes held a chilling, stormy intensity.

"Heavenly mandate?"

He repeated it softly, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"When did those good-for-nothings become so bold and efficient? And who... was leading the way?"

"It's... a boy I've never seen before... black hair, and an extremely... terrifying aura..."

The stragglers sneered, their figures transforming into a streak of piercing lightning, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

The Heavenly Commander's Residence.

The once solemn hall was now filled with a tense atmosphere, and the remaining members of the Yili and Tongxin groups all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.

Their gazes would occasionally drift with awe toward the head seat—where a dark-haired boy sat.

He simply sat there casually, his posture upright, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest. He did not deliberately release any pressure, yet a noble air and an invisible sense of oppression emanated from him, as if he was born to be above all others.

The hall door was suddenly pushed open by a forceful shove, breaking the stillness.

The purple-haired young executive officer strode in as if no one else was there, his doll-like face filled with undisguised sarcasm and anger, his gaze like a poisoned blade piercing straight for the head of the table.

"Heh...who do we have here?"

The soldiers' faces were filled with malice.

"So it's a stray dog ​​I've never seen before. It took over an unwanted kennel and thinks it's the owner?"

He stepped forward, with faint purple arcs of electricity crackling around him.

"It was you who ordered those useless bastards in the Heavenly Order to destroy my factory?"

Yi Chen, who was in the main seat, slowly raised his head.

He didn't answer immediately, but a storm seemed to be gathering in his deep eyes.

An invisible yet extremely powerful pressure erupted like a tsunami centered on Yi Chen!

It wasn't aimed at anyone else present, but rather it was like a heavy hammer blow, slamming down hard on the stragglers!

The skirmisher's pupils suddenly contracted!

In his perception, the person sitting in front of him no longer seemed to be a human boy, but a colossal beast that had descended from the primordial era, carrying a terrifying will to crush everything, and pounced on him!

The pressure was so strong that even the lightning leaping around his body paused for a moment!

Almost instinctively, he took a half-step back, crossed his arms in front of him, and assumed a perfect defensive stance!

The anticipated shock did not materialize.

The soldier abruptly lowered his arm, only to find the noble young man still sitting quietly in the main seat before him, as if the earth-shattering oppressive feeling he had just experienced was merely his illusion.

But the sudden cold sweat that seeped out on his back and the lingering throbbing in his heart reminded him that it was no illusion!

What... exactly is this thing?!

In the instant the soldier was shaken, he saw a strange change in Yi Chen's eyes—a magnificent and intricate pattern suddenly spun and bloomed in those dark eyes.

Then, the swirling pattern in those eyes suddenly froze!

"Amatras!"

"Ugh—!"

The stragglers didn't even understand what was happening; they only felt a sudden burning sensation in their chests!

A pitch-black flame, seemingly capable of devouring all light, suddenly ignited on his chest, instantly tearing his clothes apart and frantically licking his skin, causing unimaginable pain!

This fire... cannot be extinguished!

It was even burning his elemental power!

A pure, devastating sense of crisis was like ice water poured over their heads, instantly drowning out the soldiers' anger and pride!

Without any hesitation, and without even bothering to investigate the strange flames, his strong survival instinct made him make the right choice in an instant—escape!

"boom--!"

A blinding flash of lightning suddenly exploded, and the stragglers instantly transformed into bolts of lightning that tore through space, smashing through the roof of the Heavenly Territory Magistrate's Office. Carrying the lingering, indestructible black flames, they fled in a near-disarray, leaving behind only a mess and a faint smell of burning in the air.

The kaleidoscope pattern in Yi Chen's eyes slowly faded away. He glanced expressionlessly at the large hole in the roof and the rapidly disappearing trail of lightning in the distant sky.

He gave a soft hum, his fingertips tapping the armrest again and again.

"They clearly came to cause trouble, but they ran away quickly."

The hall was deathly silent.

All the officials who carried out the mandate of Heaven lowered their heads even further, their backs soaked with cold sweat.

Lord Yichen... he actually scared away the executor of the Fools with just one glance!

That aura, like that of a god or demon, and those eerie black flames…

Reverence has seeped into my very bones.

Yi Chen slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"The factory has been destroyed, but the pernicious influence of the Evil Eye may not be eradicated."

His voice regained its usual clear tone, but carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Continue the search, and anyone connected to this matter will be severely punished."

"Yes! Your lord!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices louder and more devout than ever before.

A moment later, as the officials in the hall left, the heavy wooden door slowly closed, shutting out all outside noise.

Once he was sure that the last trace of life had disappeared, Yi Chen, sitting in the main seat, felt as if his bones had been removed. He leaned back abruptly in his chair, raised his hand without any regard for his image, and vigorously rubbed his almost stiff cheeks.

"Ugh...it's so tiring to keep a straight face all the time, I almost developed facial paralysis..."

He muttered under his breath, his tone filled with a complaint and a lively energy that was completely at odds with his previous intimidating aura.

Looking back on the events of the past few months, I still feel a bit dazed.

Three months ago, he arrived in Inazuma under the alias "Uchiha Sasuke" and, together with two ronin samurai he met on the roadside who were also dissatisfied with the status quo, traveled all over Narukami Island and Hachimonji Island.

He personally witnessed the various scenes that occurred under the "Eye Hunting Order".

Those who lost their divine eyes became empty and numb, and unease and repression permeated the streets. Conflicts between the shogunate army and the resistance army occurred frequently, while the lowest-class people struggled to survive in the torrent of the times.
