Did the main characters enter the wrong game in their second playthrough?

Seeing Ying's embarrassed expression, Mei thoughtfully sat down by her bedside and whispered something to her.

"Waaaah...Mei..."

Looking at the gentle Mei, Ying suddenly felt a pang of grievance.

After all... who knew that drawing a gacha would result in such a piece of junk!

"Looks like I'll have to make something nice for our Hotaru tonight, Mei. I'm counting on you."

Himeko finally laughed her fill and walked happily to Mei's side, putting her hand on Mei's shoulder and looking at Ying with a smile in her eyes.

"Leave it to me, Himeko-sensei. For the time being, just focus on recovering from your injuries. Leave everything else to us."

Looking at Mei's gentle appearance, in an instant, Ying understood the meaning of "partner" once again.

This... is what a true partner is!

Afterwards, in Fu Hua's hands, Ying applied the plaster from Shenzhou, and the original "red envelope" turned into a "black envelope," but it was indeed less painful and swollen.

With Ying's amazing recovery ability, coupled with St. Freya's medical technology, it is estimated that Ying will be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital soon.

It can be considered a "miracle" that Ying was hit this time. The injured area was so large and the location was so fatal, yet Ying only had a big bump on her head and did not suffer any serious reactions such as amnesia. She was extremely lucky.

But this kind of "luck"...

Let's have less.

Meanwhile, in the chat group.

Star: "@Firelight, I knocked Dvalin unconscious! The rest of the story can now connect!"

fluorescent:"……"

Yingxiao's face was filled with complex emotions. Although she knew that Xing's side of the story was somewhat different from hers at first, and that it was normal for it to be corrected now, but...

Was your "knocking out" intentional or accidental?

Ling: "Oh! Ying finally appeared! You went silent after you drew the card, and Kiana and I were worried for a long time!"

Kiana: "Yeah, that's true, but it seems like Ying is alright?"

fluorescent:"……"

She did have an accident, but...

Is she really going to tell the group that she was knocked unconscious by the item she drew in the gacha game?

then……

Ying: "Indeed, I'm fine."

Hmm... that's a very insincere answer.

Kiana: "It's good that you're alright!"

Kiana: "@Star, I'm all set off for Yalilo VI! As my first planet to be explored, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Xing: "Oh? So soon? Well, have a pleasant journey! But if you're going to Yalilo VI, be prepared. As for the specifics... well, you'll find out when you get there."

Kiana: "Um... Himeko was just saying that Arilol VI is a scenic tourist planet, but now that you mention it... I have a bad feeling about this."

Xing: "Trust your intuition! However... the people on Yalilo VI are really kind, and I believe you can help them. As for the rest, I won't spoil it for you, since what follows is your own [exploration] journey."

Kiana: "Mm!"

Ling: "It's so great...being able to explore unknown planets, unlike my brother and me, who are stuck in a video store worrying about electricity bills, and we can't even get cards from this world..."

Ying: "Huh? Can't you extract things from your own world?"

Ling: "Yeah... that gacha system says you can't draw things from your own world, so I thought I'd ask you guys which world's items are safer, at least so that nothing bad will happen when I draw them."

fluorescent:"……"

Upon hearing this, Ying fell silent.

Originally, she wanted to say that the "Genshin Impact" world was relatively safer. After all, compared to the Honkai Impact 3rd world and the Starry Sky Railway world, Teyvat, although also highly random, was at least not as dangerous.

but……

After experiencing the sensation of being hit on the forehead by a meteor, she began to hesitate.

Admittedly, things in Teyvat are relatively safe.

but……

You can't prevent it from being deployed into low Earth orbit!

So, after thinking for a moment, Yingmei gave Lingmei a prudent suggestion.

"How about... you let your brother just pick one?"

Zhe: "?"

Did he do something wrong...?

Ling: "That's right! After all, older brothers are meant to be tricked!"

Zhe: "???"

Zhe: "Ling!!!"

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Lady

"Hiccup... Leader Qin is way too enthusiastic... Hiccup!"

Paimon, who had eaten his fill and was now a "sphere" floating in the air, burped and looked at Star, who hadn't changed much, with great surprise.

Just now at the banquet, Xing ate a whole table of food by herself, but why does she look like nothing happened?

"It's all because Paimon eats like crazy whenever he sees something delicious..."

Looking at the "spherical object" beside her, Xing Xie smiled and then spread her hands in a helpless manner.

Now, Star, who banished Stormterror, has once again become Mondstadt's "Savior." In gratitude, the Knights of Favonius held a grand "Ordering Ceremony" for her, elevating her from a literal "Honorary Knight" to a "Knight" officially recognized by Mondstadt. In addition, the Knights awarded her a reward of one million Mora!

Becoming a Knight officially recognized by Mondstadt is a significant achievement. It signifies that the future of Mondstadt has gained a strong support force. In a sense, the status of a Knight is far more valuable than one million Mora.

In this way, Hoshino's main storyline has officially connected with Ying's. Although she has already completed a part of the main storyline ahead of time, the order of the main storyline missions should not affect the development of the plot, right?

Xing wasn't sure about this, but if there was a problem, she'd just go after Wendy directly!

"How dare you say that to me! The portion you ate... was twice as much as mine!"

Paimon looked at the star in front of her with grief and indignation. She had sent someone to Teyvat for many years, but in the matter of food, she had lost to someone else for the first time... Even though this person was her partner, she was still so unwilling!

"Hiccup~ I can't take it anymore, you play outside for a while, I need to go back and rest..."

With her large belly and constant hiccups, Paimon finally couldn't hold on any longer and, like a puffed-up wind slime, slowly drifted towards their residence in Mondstadt.

Looking at that round, chubby back, Xing shook her head with a sigh.

As expected of Paimon. When she first became Paimon's partner, Luminous reminded her that Paimon was an absolutely trustworthy partner, but...

"Owning a Paimon is very expensive! When I was traveling, most of my Mora expenses went to Paimon's food!"

At that moment, Ying, who had just transmigrated, solemnly reminded Xing.

Now it seems that's true.

It seems I'll have to try to get more meals from the locals from now on...

The evening breeze was slightly cool, but very comfortable.

After the storm, the lingering wind element left by Dvalin transformed into the purest wind, enveloping Mondstadt. This wind soothed the damage caused by the 'Storm Dragon' and calmed the anxious hearts of the people.

Mondstadt is more peaceful than usual tonight, and the moon hanging high in the sky shines even brighter.

Unbeknownst to her, Xing had already left Mondstadt and, with a gentle breeze, arrived at the port at the side gate of Mondstadt.

The calm lake reflected the moonlight and starlight, and a gentle breeze stirred up a faint ripple. The wind... slowly brushed around a strand of hair by Xing's ear, swirling around her as if playing, causing the gray strand to flutter up and down before finally being tucked behind her ear by her fair and slender fingers.

Those golden eyes gazed at the lake before them, and in the water, the reflections of two people were mirrored.

Upon seeing this, Xing's indifferent eyes narrowed slightly, and then...

Under the watchful gaze of the person behind her, the tall and aloof figure slowly turned around, her elegant and noble figure reflected in her golden eyes.

Upon gazing into those indifferent golden eyes, the person following behind was momentarily stunned.

What kind of eyes are those?

She couldn't describe it in words; she could only sense that those eyes had witnessed all the hardships and vicissitudes of life, tasted all the joys and sorrows, and experienced the many cycles of life, yet ultimately returned to tranquility.

It was as if none of it had ever happened, or as if... everything had just flashed by in those calm eyes.

In those eyes, she could see no emotion, no thoughts, only a calm and undisturbed expression.

In her memory, she had never seen such eyes before, not even those of the commander of the Fools, not even those who bore the curse, not even those of their supreme queen…

As the other person stared at her, Xing was also sizing up the person who had been following her.

After leaving the Knights of Favonius, this contradictory aura followed her. At first, she thought it was from other members of the Knights, but... with Paimon's departure, this aura seemed to arrogantly display its presence, even though it was "concealed," it was an extremely arrogant kind of "concealment."

So arrogant, with her long, pale blonde hair, elegant attire, and an otherworldly "heart"...

This must be the arrogant eighth seat of the Fools in the story.

The two stood in an invisible standoff, and the breeze had somehow become slightly chilly, but neither of them made a move in the wind.

Suddenly, Xing moved amidst those wary eyes!

Those thin lips parted slightly, and then...

"Hiccup~~~"

The silence was broken by a burp filled with all sorts of delicious food from Mondstadt...

"..."

"..."

The gust of wind instantly subsided, and the tense atmosphere vanished in a flash.

The woman's eyes twitched violently; she had just...

Did you hear something strange?

Could it be a hallucination...?
