Liyue.
Jade bought a pancake on the street, leaned against a wall, and quietly ate it.
She hadn’t felt it while she was busy, but now that she had stopped to rest, she realized she was dead tired, with two dark circles under her eyes.
Earlier, Jade had been researching information, specifically the necessary steps during the Rite of Parting, fearing any mistakes.
After all, the Rite of Parting was not her responsibility, and she had never known about it.
She knew she would be with Lumine and the others, and since Zhongli would be there, she could just ask him if any problems arose.
However, one must do things thoroughly.
Since Jade had initially decided to complete the entire Rite of Parting by herself, she had to know this information.
Player World.
After meeting Zhongli, Zoey was immediately captivated by this knowledgeable, steady, and mature young man, and immediately made a judgment.
“Chat, this guy is definitely not simple.
He looks noble and speaks with an old-fashioned tone.
He’s definitely a big shot!” “You ask me how I can tell?
Does that even need asking?
He’s wearing a black and gold robe!
Everyone knows what these two colors represent in ancient times, and look at that demeanor!” [Chat] An Adeptus?
[Chat] I think it’s the Qixing.
[Chat] Ahem, didn’t he say he was a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?
[Chat] Based on my many years of gaming experience, this person is definitely more than just a Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant.
He should have another identity!
[Chat] Nonsense…
As the plot slowly progressed, after receiving the funds from Childe, Lumine, Paimon, and Zhongli arrived on the streets.
In a fleeting glimpse of the screen, sharp-eyed players noticed a familiar figure leaning against the wall.
[Chat] By the wall, look by the wall!
[Chat] Is that Wifey Jade?
It must be!
[Chat] Streamer, after the dialogue, run over and check.
Jade seems to be over there!
Zoey also noticed Jade’s figure.
Just as she was about to wait for the dialogue to end before going over, Paimon was even faster than her!
“Paimon, stop!
Let me!” Teyvat Continent.
“Oh, Jade, why are you here?” Jade, somewhat groggy from her brief rest, suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Following the sound, she saw Paimon floating towards her.
“Traveler, Paimon, you’re back, and this is…
Mr.
Zhongli?” Lumine, seeing Jade’s deep dark circles, asked worriedly, “You…
didn’t sleep all day yesterday?” Jade rubbed her brow, “Sorry to let you see me like this.
It’s fine, I’ll recover my energy soon.” “Though there are many tasks, do not forget to rest.
Such behavior will cause great harm to the body.” “Thank you, Mr.
Zhongli.
This time was truly unavoidable; normally, I am mindful of my health.” After thanking Zhongli, Jade looked at Lumine and Paimon: “Since you are all here, then as per our agreement, the reward I promised shall be presented.” Lumine and Paimon quickly waved their hands dismissively.
Although it had been agreed upon beforehand, there was no need to rush.
They were all friends, and these rewards didn’t really matter.
Jade took out a small box from her Vision space.
“Actually, I haven’t been working for long and don’t have much money.
But Scarlett told me that you really like these, Lumine.
I collected them before because I thought they were pretty.
I hope these can serve as your reward.” “This is…” Lumine’s eyes widened suddenly.
She smelled a familiar aura!
In Zoey’s live stream, a box suddenly appeared on the interface, a treasure chest shimmering with red and blue colors, looking incredibly magnificent!
Zoey and her viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but hold their breath.
This color, this color!
Opened Treasure Chest: Primogem * 3200!
“Holy crap!!!” Zoey couldn’t help but swear.
3200 Primogems, that’s twenty pulls!
During the time before the version update, to pull for characters and weapons, they had traversed mountains and rivers for just a few Primogems!
Now, having just arrived in Liyue and done so few quests, she actually got 3200 Primogems!
The viewers in the live stream were even more agitated, and the live chat exploded instantly.
[Chat] ???!!!
[Chat] How much?!
[Chat] Oh my god, log in, log in, log in!!!
[Chat] She gave us twenty pulls, she really cares about us!
[Chat] When did miHoYo become so generous?
Someone wake me up, I must be dreaming!
[Chat] Wifey Jade’s action reminds me of the little angel Scarlett.
She gave us 5-star weapons, Wifey Jade gave us twenty pulls.
We Allogene players are eating too well, aren’t we!
[Chat] The guy above me is right.
Scarlett and Jade are still good friends.
Wow, I love this kind of setting!
[Chat] …
Leaving aside the frenzy in the live stream for now.
Liyue, on the street.
Lumine hugged the box tightly, holding it so close, afraid they would disappear if she let go.
It was clear that she really liked this as a reward.
Lumine was absolutely thrilled.
She had been dormant for five hundred years, and her strength was far from what it used to be.
These things could just help her recover her strength, which was too important to her!
(In-universe: does gacha also count as increasing strength?
Probably…) “Jade, is there something you need here?” Seeing that Lumine seemed to be immersed in joy for a while, Zhongli first asked Jade.
Jade had requested he address her simply by her name earlier, and Zhongli thought it appropriate, so he used it.
“This…” Jade hesitated for a moment, looked at the three people in front, and then, as if having made up her mind, said: “Rex Lapis has passed away.
Ningguang and the others have many reservations.
I don’t understand them, nor am I willing to compromise.
To me, the Archon’s passing is the biggest event in Liyue.
He was like a kind father, and now that he’s gone, it’s hard to accept…” Jade’s mood was low, but she quickly recovered: “Now, the most urgent task is to properly handle the Rite of Parting.
This is a Liyue tradition; traditions cannot be forgotten.
They have concerns, but I do not.
I am here to personally handle the Rite of Parting.” “It’s just a pity that for now, I am the only one, but even if it’s just me, the ceremony should proceed smoothly.” Zhongli listened quietly, his arms crossed, nodding continuously, and even a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“The Kaiyang is very thoughtful.
I believe Rex Lapis, knowing this, would also be pleased by your actions.” Zhongli was very happy that someone among the Qixing still remembered this tradition, and it was the Kaiyang, whom he had personally promoted.
Excellent!
Paimon waved her small hands, “Jade, are you also holding the Rite of Parting for Rex Lapis?
We are too!
Let’s do it together!” “Eh…
you too…” Lumine put away the treasure chest, walked over, and patted Jade’s shoulder: “Mm-hmm, let’s do it together!” Jade smiled, and much of the fatigue on her face dissipated: “Okay!”
