Genshin Impact: I Made the Entire Playerbase Cry

Paimon's heart had nearly jumped into her throat.

"Wuwuwu... Mu Yang... You finally came."

——————

This rescue scene.

Was so cool it left Guinaifen utterly stunned.

Her live stream instantly turned into a cacophony of "Holy sh—" bleeps, sounding like a telegraph machine going wild.

[What kind of encrypted channel is this?]

[If I didn't know better, I'd think the host accidentally cranked the volume to max. So hyped!]

[I'm freaking out too! Mu Yang, did you really have to make your entrance this cool?!]

[One words: Extreme.]

[That was way too clutch.]

[Just trust him. Big Bro Mu radiates absolute safety.]

"Huff... Finally caught my breath, folks."

[Host's acting skills might be a bit excessive here.]

"I'm simping for my husband—mind your own business, salty chat."

"Mu Yang is just that cool, that reassuring."

[I can't cure love-sickness... Mu Yang, hehehe... Smash me, hehehe...]

[A doctor who can't heal themselves, huh?]

——————

Mu Yang had actually been here the whole time.

Thanks to the system's concealment, no one noticed.

Honestly, this wasn't even the planned moment for his appearance.

But... he didn't want Lumine to take that hit.

So, screw the plan.

Mu Yang leaped lightly to Lumine's side.

Helping her up, he asked, "You okay? Not hurt?"

Lumine shook her head, indicating she was fine.

Mu Yang had arrived just in time to block the attack for her.

Otherwise, taking that hit head-on would've sent her flying...

Paimon started panicking again, "There are more and more Fatui! What do we do?! It feels like we can't hold them off!"

Xiao, Ganyu, and Granny Ping were busy shielding them from Osial's rain of attacks.

They couldn't spare much attention for the battlefield.

Lumine glanced around—the Millelith were being pushed back relentlessly.

Bearing the pressure of an Archon's might while fending off so many Fatui...

They were already at their limit.

Lumine gripped her sword, ready to rejoin the fight.

Mu Yang stopped her, "Wait."

Lumine paused, "Hm?"

Mu Yang lightly tapped her forehead with two fingers.

"There. Now try swinging your sword again."

Lumine looked down at her Dull Blade, feeling a flood of strange, intricate techniques filling her mind.

"This is..."

——————

Player Perspective.

Silver Wolf's Stream.

Before the chat could start losing it over Mu Yang tapping Lumine's forehead, the battle resumed—beating up Fatui to protect the Guizhong Ballistae.

Then, Silver Wolf noticed a change in the party.

"Huh? Why is the little sister forced into the team now?"

She switched to Lumine's perspective.

"Holy crap, did Mu Yang just teach us his skills?"

She saw the Elemental Skill icon had changed.

But the Burst was still her Geo Traveler's original one.

As a "hardcore" gamer, Silver Wolf naturally opened the character panel first.

"Story can wait. Let's check the skills."

[All the Adepti and Millelith: "Cool."]

[ZA WARUDO!]

Silver Wolf opened Lumine's skill details.

"Cloud Terrace Tri-Strike... Azure Dragon's Lunge..."

"Sword Intent... and Untraceable? Damn—"

[WTF, how broken is this 'Untraceable'?!]

[Wasn't this what protected us earlier?]

[PARRY?!]

[I admit, Mihoyo's slow-drip hype is strong. No Burst preview, huh?]

[Teasing us like this... Show us already!]

[Depends on what you wanna see, no?]

Silver Wolf skimmed the skills.

"For now, let's treat this Burst as Mu Yang's. I'll demo the gameplay for you guys."

She closed the menu.

Positioning herself near the enemies:

"Start with 'Azure Dragon's Lunge'—gives Cryo infusion and Untraceable's stagger resistance."

"Then... three normal attacks, one charged. Two stacks of Sword Intent left..."

"Three more normals, max out Sword Intent at five stacks, then unleash the Burst."

[These attack animations are sick!]

[LMAO, that charged attack's circular draw-slash reminds me of a certain helicopter swordsman.]

[Host's cracked—learned it in one glance? Followed!]

[Hurry! What's the Burst like?!]

[Maybe it's too OP for Lumine to grasp yet?]

[That would explain it.]

"The flow is so smooth. Fast attack speed, feels amazing to play."

Silver Wolf was a bit disappointed she couldn't see the Burst or constellations.

'Thanks "Lightning Whirlwind Slash" for the Super Chat': Host, stop dodging instinctively—show us the parry! (100 yuan)

"Alright, alright."

She dashed in with 'Azure Dragon's Lunge,' then stood still, waiting to get hit.

The Electrohammer Vanguard swung down—"Clang!"—its attack was interrupted.

No damage taken.

Then, a phantom image of Mu Yang lunged out and slashed the hammer-wielder.

[SHEESH, the effects are next-level!]

[Though the dragon in 'Azure Dragon's Lunge' looks kinda small.]

[Wait for the real deal. If you get everything now, why pull for him?]

[This tiny splash ain't quenching my thirst!!!]

——————

Back in Teyvat.

Lumine was also putting Mu Yang's swordplay to work—and damn, was it fun.

She moved like a fish in water, but the sheer numbers were overwhelming. Unlike Mu Yang, she couldn't cleave through crowds with sword energy, so fighting one by one was slow.

Then, Granny Ping spoke up.

"Child, take this."

Lumine felt enveloped by a surge of power.

Her whole body began to glow.

Now, every swing of Mu Yang's techniques released shockwaves.

Suddenly, crowd control became a breeze.

Paimon's eyes sparkled: "Wow, it's Granny Ping's Shockwave! Granny's so strong!"

[LMAO "Granny Ping Shockwave"—Paimon trying to kill me with laughter.]

[Granny Ping: Shockwave Adeptus.]

After Granny Ping, Ganyu also lent her strength.

"The blood of the Qilin shall shield you from malevolence."

"Fight without fear of injury—this is how I fought in the Archon War."

[Two words come to mind:]

[Self-heal. You know it.]

Finally, Xiao's blessing.

"The name 'Yaksha' means swiftness. Carry my adeptal energy—run as I do."

With all four buffs, Lumine tore through the battlefield.

This experience... was leagues beyond the Golden House.
