"The savior of Dvalin, Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius."
As Lumine listed her achievements to Zhuhan, each title made the latter visibly freeze.
"She also fought a Fatui Harbinger—Childe."
"And he lost."
Paimon added proudly, hands on her hips.
Lumine glanced sideways at Paimon with a slightly smug expression, as if to say—Wasn't he technically not defeated by us alone?
Meanwhile, Paimon stood there looking completely pleased with herself.
"That expression on Lumine!"
Xuehua burst into laughter, rapidly spamming screenshots.
[That look on Lumine is killing me 😂]
[Also: I have three friends—Guixu, Morax, and Barbatos]
[Childe really got embarrassed (facepalm)]
[These two are too funny]
[Lumine: stay low-key]
[I can't stop laughing]
[Achievement unlocked: never miss a chest within sight!]
As soon as Paimon said that, the entire arena fell silent.
A moment later—uproar.
"Th-this…"
"She's definitely winning the championship."
"Is it too late to withdraw now?"
"My heavens… do you know what a Fatui Harbinger represents?"
"Exactly! Even within the Fatui, they're elite among elites!"
"And this girl… defeated one?!"
"And there's Dvalin too—so the dragon crisis in Mondstadt was solved by her?!"
"That's one of the Four Winds! A primordial elemental being!"
The crowd collectively gasped.
"This Honorary Knight… she's practically a monster."
"If she gains a Vision…"
"She has the makings of a god."
An old man muttered from within the crowd.
"Alright, alright, that's too much praise—I can't take it anymore!"
Xuehua laughed helplessly.
[This feels AMAZING]
[✔✔✔ (smirk)]
['Has the makings of a god'—I'm dead 😂]
"I understand, I understand—that's more than enough."
"I've never seen such an impressive list of achievements…"
Zhuhan was genuinely stunned.
"Alright, registration is complete. Next, let me explain the rewards."
"With a hero like you participating, you must be aiming for first place—and this Vision, correct?"
She gestured toward the Vision in the box.
"We're not here for that."
"Beidou promised that if we win, she'll take us to Inazuma."
Paimon explained.
"An additional reward? I've never heard of that!"
"I guess Captain Beidou made an exception to attract a big name like her."
"But going to Inazuma… that's dangerous!"
The surrounding contestants began murmuring.
"I-I see…"
"So you made arrangements with the captain beforehand…"
Zhuhan said awkwardly.
"Everyone seems to misunderstand."
"I'm just… not that interested in a Vision."
Lumine explained casually, almost too casually.
[That sounded normal… but why does it feel like such a flex? (facepalm)]
[Exactly 😂]
"Oh, right—there's another participant."
"A consultant from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor—Qiu Nian."
"His combat ability is no weaker than mine. Whether he gets first or second, he'll also need a ticket to Inazuma."
Lumine added.
"Ah—understood."
"Then… the preliminaries will begin soon. You can prepare or discuss strategies beforehand."
Zhuhan nodded quickly.
A consultant from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor… Qiu Nian.
His reputation was indeed well-known—similar to Zhongli's.
But that was supposed to be for his knowledge and refinement.
Was he really that strong in combat as well?
"Mr. Qiu Nian?!"
"He's coming too?!"
"His strength is on par with the Traveler? And he's handsome, refined, and knowledgeable—he's perfect!"
"Hmph… those rumors about Qinglan and Mr. Qiu Nian—probably just her trying to get his attention."
"Miss Qinglan would never do that!"
"Ahhh! Mr. Qiu Nian is coming—I didn't even put on makeup today!"
"Does he have a Vision?"
"He doesn't, but Zhongli does—those two men are perfection itself!"
"So… is he here for the Vision?"
"If he gets one, he'll be perfect beyond perfection!"
The chatter spread rapidly through the crowd.
"Looks like Qiu Nian is pretty famous too."
Paimon grinned.
"Seriously… both Qiu Nian and Zhongli are so charming."
"I completely agree, sis."
"How can two men be this perfect?!"
Xuehua practically lost control, hearts in her eyes.
[Streamer has lost it]
[No wonder they're famous—just look at their faces and knowledge (facepalm)]
[Guixu: A Vision? Do I look like I need one?]
[Getting a Vision is easy—just look in a mirror or pat Zhongli on the back 😂]
"Perfect…"
"Only after I obtain a Vision will I become the perfect man."
"Qiu Nian… only he is worthy to rival me."
"Perfection versus perfection… how thrilling…"
Jin You stood up, covering his forehead dramatically, utterly intoxicated with himself.
"…He's hopeless."
Paimon shook her head.
"Hopeless. Completely hopeless."
Xuehua looked like she might throw up.
[The way he talks is killing me 😂]
[Where does he get this confidence?! (facepalm)]
[I can't take it—I want to punch him]
[Comparing yourself to Guixu? Seriously??]
