"Nice to meet you, Traveler. I want to open the best inn in all of Teyvat. Could you help me gather some wood?"
"Have you eaten, Traveler? There's a mining spot nearby. If you have, could you help me dig up some ore?"
"Fancy seeing you again, Traveler. I've picked a spot for the inn. Could you clear out the Hilichurls nearby for me?"
"Great! I'm one step closer to my dream. Dear Traveler, I need to stock up on some ingredients, and a lot more materials."
"Thank you so much, Traveler! So, now..."
"Could you help me build the inn?"
What do you do when you're broke, have no connections, and are starting from scratch?
Don't worry. See that silly girl with the golden hair?
As long as you're willing to pay ten Primogems, she'll help you with anything!
"Um, Traveler, my inn is still missing an owner. What do you think..."
"Get lost!"
I really liked this book, it's such a pity. Was the romance between Yura and the snow mountain the peak of the book? The romance between her and Qin later on was too drawn out. In fact, if the author hadn't mentioned that he was going to refuse before the wind dragon arrived, I would have thought he was going to agree (although there were some points where you could see the tendency to refuse). The main storyline involving the inn progresses too slowly. To put it somewhat inappropriately, the character of the deer hunter in "The Deer Hunter" isn't as well-developed as the author's, but the innkeeper's identity is consistently a key element. It takes three volumes to get to the inn, and it feels like developing the romance around the inn would have been a good approach, creating a different kind of branching narrative. Regardless, this book is probably finished now, which is a real shame, even though it's a very good book.
Is that book, "Winter Revisited," from Qidian?
Is the author pointing out the truth?
Offering incense #(spicy strips)
When I saw the protagonist being tortured in the snowy mountain scene, I was thinking, "Doesn't the protagonist have an old transformation ability in their backpack? They're about to die, but they don't even take it out to solve the mystery. It's really frustrating." They're suppressing their combat power, retconning the story, and torturing the protagonist to advance the plot.
I've come to offer incense. #(Crying)
