Stormterror's Lair
After seeing Barbara's message in the chat, Dvalin felt… complicated.
Now that his mind had fully recovered, he clearly remembered everything from yesterday's battle.
And as the dragon involved, he knew better than anyone just how terrifying that girl had been…
Once she picked up that bizarre weapon, she became outright violent.
And this terrifying human was supposedly a loyal follower of Barbatos?
Dvalin slowly turned his head toward Venti, expression full of accusation.
"Barbatos, you certainly have… quite the believer."
"Ehe~"
Venti blinked innocently.
Blue Star – Villa
After seeing the donation notifications pop up, Arthur smiled and waved lightly.
"Thank you to Lumine, Jean, and Barbara for your generosity!
There's really no need for that.
Everything you achieved came from your own power.
But I appreciate the support—please continue to watch!"
A hundred and twenty Flying Mini-TV Ships right after going live—
a perfect start.
It looked like today's stream would be yet another explosion in popularity.
Seeing this, people from other nations in Teyvat felt tempted.
If tipping the "Light-Screen Master" would leave a positive impression…
that was absolutely worth the investment.
But Lumine, Jean, and Barbara all had reasons to donate.
They themselves did not.
Tipping rashly might seem strange or improper.
So many ended up reluctantly suppressing the impulse.
Meanwhile, in Arthur's Live Room (Blue Star)
Blue Star viewers were shocked.
"I heard about this from a friend—I came to witness it myself.
So THIS is the legendary streamer everyone's talking about?"
"No joke, the IDs, the gifts, the group chat messages…
If I didn't know better, I'd think actual Genshin characters were donating!"
"What a performance. This is so convincing!"
"Even Mihoyo doesn't have this kind of stream quality!"
"I'm literally dying from jealousy. Rich people have too much fun!"
"Let me blend in…
maybe I can pretend I'm also from Teyvat!"
"Genius idea!"
"...LOL"
Arthur chuckled and shook his head.
These people…
He took a sip of water and officially began today's program.
"Alright, let's start with today's Genshin character evaluation."
"Today's characters are—
Liyue Qixing's Yuheng, Keqing,
and Liyue Qixing's secretary, Ganyu."
Liyue – Jade Chamber
Since the first evaluation appeared, Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu had made it a habit to watch every broadcast on time.
Information about Teyvat and the future was invaluable.
Even their busy work schedules could be postponed for the Light-Screen.
So when they heard today's announcement—
All three froze.
"Me?"
"Is it my turn today?"
Keqing blinked, then excitement lit up her face.
Just yesterday she had wondered when the Light-Screen would evaluate her—
and here it was.
Her luck seemed good today.
"If it's evaluating me, then it'll definitely talk about my ideals on governance."
"I wonder… what does the Light-Screen think of my philosophy of human rule?"
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Many in Liyue disagreed with her views.
Keqing herself wavered sometimes.
Perhaps today's evaluation could give her clarity.
She even took out brush and paper—
completely in note-taking mode.
Confident Keqing had no fear of "black history."
But next to her…
One qilin secretary trembled.
"M–Me? I'm getting evaluated too…?"
Ganyu stared blankly at the light-screen.
Why her?
She definitely hadn't been hoping for this!
This was terrible! Absolutely terrible!
With the Light-Screen's terrifying insight, it would definitely reveal all the embarrassing things she did as a child…
Everything.
In front of all of Teyvat.
Ganyu felt her soul leave her body.
This was the end.
She collapsed onto the table like a defeated shrimp.
Ningguang had been slightly disappointed that she wasn't chosen today…
But after seeing Keqing's excitement and Ganyu's utter despair,
her interest skyrocketed.
"This might be entertaining~"
She smiled slightly.
How could she watch this without refreshments?
She turned to Baiwen.
"Baiwen, prepare some snacks and drinks.
We shall enjoy the Light-Screen's evaluation of Liyue together."
"Yes, Lady Ningguang!"
Keqing: "…"
Ganyu: "…"
Liyue – Aozang Mountain, Cloud Retainer's Abode
A crane immortal and a graceful woman stood watching the light-screen.
"Hohoho! To think today's evaluation would involve Ganyu, that child!"
Cloud Retainer laughed loudly the moment she heard the announcement.
She had always wanted to tell people stories of Ganyu's childhood,
but the girl never let her.
Now?
The Light-Screen would reveal everything for her!
Cloud Retainer could already imagine Ganyu's expression.
How delightful~
Shenhe stood silently beside her, eyes fixed on the screen, quietly intrigued.
Liyue – Wangsheng Funeral Parlor
"Keqing and Ganyu this time?"
Zhongli's hand paused mid-teacup.
Based on the last two evaluations, the Light-Screen always touched on personality, history, or issues worth reflecting on.
Jean's over-responsibility.
Barbara's contradictions.
Mondstadt's collective immaturity.
So today, it might delve into Keqing's ideology of human governance.
Zhongli's eyes brightened slightly.
He had already resolved to retire and return Liyue to its people,
but the path of human rule was still vague to him.
This evaluation might provide insight.
Hu Tao, however, was… not thinking anything so serious.
"Waaah~ Two huge names today!
Keqing and Ganyu!"
She leaned toward Zhongli, eyes sparkling.
"So what do you think?
What delicious… I mean, scandalous things will be revealed?"
Zhongli sighed helplessly.
His Hall Master and the Traveler would certainly get along.
"As for scandalous matters…
I cannot say anything about Lady Keqing."
"But Ganyu… well…"
He paused.
"Let's wait for the Light-Screen.
If I say it first, she might take offense."
"Oh?"
Hu Tao hadn't expected that.
A hint?
From Zhongli?
The secrets must be good.
She immediately prepared snacks as well—
prime melon-eating posture activated.
Meanwhile – [Normal Chat Group]
Tie Tianzui: Huh? Keqing and Secretary Ganyu? So it's Liyue's turn?
Chef Mao: Aww, why not Xiangling? Still, I do want to hear what the Light-Screen says about our two big bosses!
Tianshu: I have great confidence in our Yuheng Star and Sister Ganyu.
Lumine'er: Oh~? You mean proper confidence or improper confidence?
Tianshu: …
Tianshu: Ahem. Miss Lumine'er, my respect for them is absolutely pure!
Lumine'er: Mmhmm~ Looks like this evaluation will be very interesting~
