Genshin Impact: I Made the Entire Playerbase Cry

After Keqing walked away, Paimon finally asked in a hushed voice,

"So... does she respect the gods or not?"

Lumine: "I think she actually really likes Rex Lapis."

Paimon: "Hehehe, who would've thought she'd end up choosing Paimon's gift in the end? Let's go prepare it now!"

The three of them arrived at Mingxing Jewelry.

Paimon called out to the shop, "Hello! We'd like to buy a gift box!"

The owner of Mingxing Jewelry, Xingxi, set down her work and stood up to greet them.

"What kind of gift are you looking to package?"

"Sugar-Frosted Slime."

Xingxi furrowed her willow-like brows—she'd never heard of such a thing. Was it some rare treasure?

"May I ask... what exactly is Sugar-Frosted Slime...?"

Paimon excitedly gestured for Xingxi. "It's a dessert Paimon came up with!"

"Oh, food? Understood."

With that, she turned to fetch a box.

Mu Yang stopped her. "Wait—this is a gift for the Tianquan."

"Could you please help us pick something that suits Ningguang's tastes?"

Xingxi gave the white-haired young man a meaningful look and couldn't help but praise, "You've got good taste. But information about the Tianquan doesn't come for free, you know."

Mu Yang: "Mora isn't an issue. Pick the most suitable one and add the accessories too."

He then handed her a Northland Bank's Super Ultimate Supreme VIP Card.

This move left both Lumine and the money-loving Paimon completely stunned.

They knew he was rich, but this rich?!

Lumine was even a little embarrassed.

Three million yesterday, and now this...

"Lumine, pinch my face—am I dreaming? Do I really have a friend this wealthy?"

[Chatters: What kind of pillow do I need to buy to have dreams like this?]

[Of course, it's our *****, letting you sleep whenever, wherever!]

[Advertiser has been muted.]

[Damn, the domineering CEO strikes again!]

[The debt we owe him is beyond repayment—guess we'll have to offer ourselves instead.]

[Sounds about right.]

Lumine grabbed Paimon and vigorously rubbed her cheeks.

"Ow! It's real!"

Lumine let go. "Mu Yang, isn't this a bit too extravagant...?"

"No matter. This is a greeting gift from the three of us. Compared to Paimon's creativity and your craftsmanship, this is all I can contribute."

——————

Guinaifen was deeply moved by this gesture.

"He really... I could cry."

High emotional intelligence warms her all day.

[He must've memorized The Art of Emotional Intelligence.]

[Does Mu Yang sleep with The Art of Emotional Intelligence as his pillow?]

[The fact that he can flip it around and compliment others is the wildest part.]

[Mu Yang Mu Yang Mu Yang Mu Yang Mu Yang Mu Yang Mu Yang Mu Yang Mu Yang my beloved <3]

[Calm down.]

——————

Paimon and Lumine exchanged a smile.

"Hehe, as expected of you."

A short while later, Xingxi returned to the counter with an antique-looking box.

The box's design was simple and unadorned.

As for the two jade carvings inside—though their forms were free and unrestrained, the craftsmanship was undeniably exquisite.

Only absolute mastery of the craft could achieve such work.

Mu Yang found it increasingly familiar—could this be the work of an acquaintance?

Paimon, however, wasn't too pleased with the plain-looking box.

It didn't match her impression of Ningguang. In her mind, the box should have gold trim and extravagant decorations to suit Ningguang's luxurious status.

Seeing Paimon's brows knit tightly, Mu Yang could tell the little one wasn't exactly a connoisseur.

Xingxi noticed Paimon's expression and explained with a smile that the box was a 140-year-old antique.

As for the jade carvings, they had been personally appraised by Liyue's renowned treasure expert—Mr. Zhongli—and were confirmed to be the work of an Adeptus, making them absolutely worth the price.

"This was acquired just a few days ago. I sensed a connection with you, which is why I brought it out."

[A connection? More like seeing you're loaded!]

[Is there anything Zhongli can't do?]

[He can also treat people to meals, hahaha!]

Paimon didn't understand most of it but caught the key phrase—Treasure Expert Zhongli.

"Zhongli really can do anything..."

But upon reflection, that man's taste was indeed impeccable.

"Well, if his judgment is this good, then we'll take it! Pack it all up!"

Lumine crossed her arms. "It's not like you're the one paying. Why act so generous?"

"Let me experience how it feels to be rich for once!"

Seeing such a massive deal secured, Xingxi was grinning from ear to ear.

"Very well, that will be twenty million Mora in total."

"That covers the items themselves. As for the Tianquan's information..."

"Consider it a complimentary gift for such discerning customers."

Though she said "customers," her eyes remained fixed on Mu Yang.

[Twenty million?!]

[HOW MUCH??]

[Insane, I don't even have 2,000 Mora in my bag!]

[Forget Ningguang, just give me that Mora—I can't even afford to enhance my artifacts!]

[You too?]

[Don't get ahead of yourselves. That's like how much Resin worth? With how stingy Mihoyo is, I'd believe 20,000, but 20 million? No way.]

[Just fill out the surveys and take your 30,000 Mora, don't push it.]

After Mu Yang paid, they prepared to leave.

But Paimon stopped them.

Twenty million! That's twenty million Mora!

They couldn't just leave like this—Mingxing Jewelry was getting off too easy!

Paimon pointed at an antique ceramic jar.

"I have a feeling that using an antique as a mixing bowl will make the dessert taste even better!"

Lumine facepalmed. "Paimon..."

Xingxi smiled. "Is this the secret to making Sugar-Frosted Slime?"

She opened the door and invited them in.

"Everything's on the shelves. Please, honored guests, make yourselves at home."

Before long, under Paimon's guidance, Lumine finished making the Sugar-Frosted Slime—complete with a "Baka" vibe.

"It's done! The one and only Sugar-Frosted Slime! Now, carefully place it in the gift box and sprinkle some powdered sugar..."

Xingxi tactfully plucked two fresh flowers for the guests to use as decoration.

Once everything was set, Paimon was ecstatic.

"Alright! Our future wealth and glory are all in this box now!"

Lumine: "Paimon, you said the quiet part out loud."

Paimon: "Uh... Anyway, let's hurry to Yuehai Pavilion!"

Lumine: "Also, the box itself is wealth and glory—it cost twenty million, you know?"

Paimon: "Now that you mention it..."

The three of them found the guide Keqing had mentioned.

"Hello, do you sell moons here?"

"Yes, how many would you like?"

"The number isn't something we can disclose."

"Excellent answer. You must be the guests Lady Ningguang arranged for today?"

"Exactly!"

The guide was inwardly puzzled.

'This isn't the guests' code phrase—it's the one granted by the Yuheng. What's going on here...?'

[So it wasn't a test? The guests have their own code phrase?]

[Ganyu didn't mention it either.]

[Did she forget?]

[Unbelievable, how could she forget something like that?]

Though the guide found it odd, the invitation in Lumine's hands was undeniable proof.

So she didn't press further and instead gestured politely.

"Please, the three of you may now ascend the pavilion."
