[Eula: Yanfei, which one did you choose?]
[Yelan: Ha— Just woke up from a nap. Isn't this question quite simple? I saw the answer in an instant.]
[Ganyu: Miss Yelan, you've entered the Elite Live Room as well?]
[Yelan: Yes, I saw the invitation as soon as I woke up this time.]
[Yanfei: Based on my understanding of Xingqiu... he would definitely choose Option 5.]
[Yelan: The correct answer is definitely 5. It's not the first time Xingqiu has done something like that.]
[Ningguang: @Yelan, I almost forgot about you.]
「Ding—Arataki Itto answered incorrectly. Punishment: A 100-game losing streak destiny in games against children」
[Diluc: What kind of punishment is that?]
[Klee: Klee thinks that sounds terrifying!]
[Zhongli: From a standpoint of universal priority, this doesn't truly qualify as a punishment.]
[Arataki Itto (kneeling in despair): No! Isn't this basically a death sentence for this young master?! Aaaah— I'd rather you just make me jump off a cliff again!]
[Kujou Sara: Find a higher cliff next time.]
[Yoimiya: This is actually a severe punishment for Itto. He loves playing and competing with kids, and he takes it so seriously. When he wins, he eats the prize candy right in front of them.]
[Noelle: How mean...]
[Diona: How mean...]
[Sayu: How mean...]
[Klee: How mean...]
[Kuki Shinobu: Although his win rate is already low... he usually manages to win at least a few times.]
In the broadcast, Itto was seen kneeling on the ground, facing the sea in despair, sobbing like a three-year-old child.
[Genta: Boss, it's okay! It's only a hundred times!]
[Mamoru: Boss, hang in there!]
[Akira: Boss, the Arataki Gang isn't afraid of losing a hundred times!]
[Arataki Itto: Right! This young master... can afford to lose!]
His face was pale, and it took a massive effort for him to stand back up.
「Ding—Yanfei answered correctly. Reward: Magic Flying Carpet」
[Xingqiu: What kind of treasure is that?]
[Xiangling: I see it! It's a purple carpet!]
Yanfei and Chongyun were currently at Wanmin Restaurant, enjoying the lively atmosphere.
[Kaeya: What a prize! Share the details!]
「New Feature Added: Punishment scenes cannot be avoided by the camera. Reward scenes can be hidden by the recipient.」
「New Feature: Mental Perception Broadcast. Those with hearing or visual impairments can now perceive the broadcast in their inner world.」
Yanfei enabled the broadcast view so everyone could see. It was a purple carpet made of high-quality materials.
[Lisa: A Magic Carpet? Does it actually have magical properties?]
After Yanfei absorbed the golden light, the knowledge of how to use it filled her mind: "This thing is sentient! Xiangling, come up and try it with me!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming! Guoba, you too!"
The Magic Carpet floated into the air. Yanfei hopped on, and it supported her weight perfectly. Xiangling and Guoba followed.
"Let's go!"
Whoosh— The Magic Carpet soared out.
[Xingqiu: It's in the sky! I can see it from here!]
[Chongyun: I want a turn too! Don't leave me behind!]
They flew from the ground straight up to the Jade Chamber, where Ganyu and Ningguang came out to watch.
[Yanfei: This Magic Carpet is a vehicle. It can carry about three people. The fewer people on it, the longer it can fly. Once the magic is drained, it needs to rest for a while.]
[Shenhe: It bears some resemblance to the treasures of the Adepti.]
[Ningguang: A fine item indeed.]
Yanfei and the others flew back down, hugging the carpet happily.
[Yanfei: Eula, it'll be much easier to fly over and play with you now!]
[Arataki Itto: Dammit, I want one too!]
[Kuki Shinobu: Next time you snatch a question, use your brain, Boss.]
The broadcast continued, and everyone immediately stopped their chatter.
Xingqiu: "I am a person of justice who fights for the weak, Xingqiu of the Guhua Clan."
[Chongyun: That is definitely how Xingqiu talks.]
Changhu: "Pfft— Hahaha! Guhua Clan? He said the Guhua Clan? Hahaha! That's just a tiny, dying sect whose flame has long gone out."
The servants roared with laughter. Back in Liyue, Master Maocai was stomping his feet in rage because he now knew the truth—Xingqiu was the second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
"You absolute idiots!"
Changhu felt wronged: "Master, this... hasn't this not happened yet?"
"It hasn't happened yet, but with you fools, it's only a matter of time!"
Xingqiu: "Justice has nothing to do with status. You are nothing more than servants acting like bullies under your master's shadow."
Changhu snapped back, insisting that the goods would be sold regardless, and then swaggered away. Leaving Granny Nine sighing, Xingqiu asked to borrow the last book.
Xingqiu walked ahead while Lumine and Paimon followed to the entrance of Qingce Village.
Paimon: "Hey! Is standing here reading a book your way of being a hero?"
Xingqiu: "This book is just too interesting."
[Arataki Itto: Argh! I can't watch this! If I were there, I'd definitely teach those guys a lesson.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: I believe Young Master Xingqiu has his own plans.]
Xingqiu: "What I said to Granny Nine wasn't just talk. He lent me this book, which makes him my benefactor. Repaying him is the path of chivalry."
Just then, Changhu returned with a large group of men.
Changhu: "Oh, still here? Your 'Tofu' Clan has no people and no skill. You've certainly got guts, though."
Xingqiu smiled slightly: "As the saying goes: An ant trying to shake a giant tree—how hilariously overconfident."
