[Genshin Impact] [Romance game and comedy] [Update schedule: I'll start posting once I've saved up 100,000 words. It's too scary to serialize without a backlog.]
(The blurb below is written in first person only.)
My name is Yanyun. I'm Yanfei's cousin, though we have different parents. My cousin is famous for her legal expertise, while all I know how to do is eat at Wanmin Restaurant.
At long last, my parents couldn't stand it anymore and decided to send me to travel and intern in different nations.
I agreed, because my bestie Xiangling had gone out searching for inspiration again. Without her, Wanmin Restaurant's menu changes way too slowly. Besides, foreign food looks even more delicious...
Who would have thought that, despite being a slacker at my internship, I'd accidentally picked up a new skill: selling stuff.
1. Mondstadt: Alchemy [An alchemy intern who sets up a stall on Dragonspine]
Dragonspine is a magnificent sight, drawing countless visitors.
But behind Albedo's and Sucrose's backs, I secretly set up a stall at the foot of the mountain.
Yanyun: "Come take a look! Jueyun Chili with eight times the heat, spicy enough to set your heart ablaze! Small Lamp Grass with ten times the brightness, to light up your day! All specially developed by Miss Sucrose, the prized pupil of Mondstadt's greatest alchemist. A Mondstadt specialty, tested at Windrise. You deserve to own some!"
2. Inazuma: Shrine Maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine [An Inazuman shrine maiden who moonlights as a fortune-teller]
At the Grand Narukami Shrine, the Sacred Sakura blooms eternally, and worshippers stream in every day.
The Sakoku Decree was lifted, and the people rejoiced. But the people of Inazuma still faced plenty of life's problems: getting hung up on a terrible ex after a bad romance, or having such a rough time in business that they wanted to leap off Mt. Yougou and end it all...
But don't worry. I'm Yanyun, and I'm an expert in Liyue fortune-telling. For just 10,000 Mora per reading, everyone I've read for has gone on to embrace a happy life.
Yanyun: "Don't cry, miss. My reading says your ex is destined to bring misfortune to his wife!"
Crying woman: "What? Someone else told me I was overly anxious and sensitive, which was why nothing ever went right. So this is the real reason! I understand now, Master Yanyun! Get lost, you scumbag!"
3. Sumeru: Linguistics [An Akademiya intern who starts selling language courses]
Alhaitham: "You're here to intern, as an Akademiya student?"
Me: "Yep!"
Alhaitham: "All right. Before graduating, every student has to learn twenty languages. You can do that, right?"
Me: "Sure!" But I can't be the only one who does it. Everyone here has to do it!
So I shamelessly mooched off the seniors: Faruzan, the foreign student Hat Guy, and others. I got four languages out of each person, then put together a complete System of language-learning courses...
In the end, everyone needed my courses to pass their language exams and graduate. Hehe!
4. Fontaine: Performing Arts [A theater extra who opens a shop selling merchandise]
I spent three years as an extra at a theater in Fontaine. I'm still a nobody, but at least I got to meet Lady Furina and all sorts of celebrities!
So Fontaine gained a beautiful new attraction: my merch shop. "Lady Furina's latest photo from the play! Only a thousand prints, first come, first served! Lord Neuvillette's new limited-edition collab drink, made with spring water from Liyue! Get it while the collaboration lasts!"
Neuvillette: "Oh? Miss Yanyun, isn't this illegal reselling?"
Yanyun: "Is it, Lord Neuvillette? Why don't you think about it some more? Otherwise, I'll perform that thing for you!"
Neuvillette: "What are you referring to?"
Yanyun: "Goodbye, Neuvillette. I hope you enjoy..."
Neuvillette's eyes twitched, and he cut her off. "All right, I understand. I can cooperate and sell signed editions..."
After he left, another inexplicable drizzle fell over Fontaine.
Maybe to be continued... (Waiting for Natlan?)
Anyway, I'll return to Liyue in the end.
Theme: Set up a stall wherever you can, then make it to the top.
