[Genshin Impact] The Self-Cultivation of a Cactus

The main story and bonus chapters are both complete.

This story's CP: Albedo

Prequels: [Genshin Impact] Want to Play a Game? and [Genshin Impact] I'm Done Playing Games, both featuring the Wanderer as the CP.

The protagonist, Changsheng, is the Wanderer's adopted son.

Changsheng has an incurable case of face blindness (he mostly recognizes people by luck and their accessories) and is slightly directionally challenged (he mostly finds his way by charging ahead and following System prompts).

"Changsheng, come out and eat," Albedo calls from outside.

"I don't need to eat. I only need photosynthesis," the black-haired, green-eyed man sitting at the table replies coldly. The next moment, Albedo walks in and drags him outside by the collar.

"But you're human now, so you need to eat," Albedo says without mercy. "If you don't eat, I'll make you stay with Klee."

Changsheng: Dead fish eyes and pure terror!!

How various people treat Changsheng XX3X:

Kazuha: Don't sit on the railing unless you want to be my bait.

Heizou: Keep an eye on the suspect. You're perfect for the job.

Albedo: You like... sitting on my head? I'm afraid that won't work. You'd better get down.

Changsheng XX3X: Every last one of you is a major obstacle on my road to "greatness"! Go away! Go away! All of you, go away!

Klee: Big brother Albedo, big brother Albedo, where did Klee come from?

Albedo: What made you wonder about that?

Klee: Today I saw big brother Changsheng dig another big brother Changsheng out of the ground. Did Mommy dig Klee out of the ground too?

Albedo: ...

The plot described in the blurb appears in the bonus chapters.

The story's world will include elements from the silly author's first Genshin Impact fic. It's fine if you haven't read it; it won't affect anything. (Oh, wait, it will affect the CP.)

The protagonist is the Wanderer's adopted son. He'll definitely have some kind of special trait, but it's not clear when it'll be revealed. Picks nose.

The CP is set: Albedo. Don't ask why; I just have a feeling. (2025.8.18)

Also, the blurb may be misleading. This silly author really likes writing angst.

Preorders are open, mainly about Li Xi's story.
