Guinaifen's livestream.
Little Gui opened Bilibili, ready to watch the 1.2 version preview livestream—
Mondstadt Tea Party SP.
"What can I say, folks? It's been too many days since I last saw Mu Yang. I feel so empty inside."
[Stop pretending, did you binge-watch him before bed last night?]
[I did too, and it was amazing (blushing.JPG)]
[Lmao, am I really the only one in this stream without dirty thoughts?]
['Sit and Watch the Little Bridge Over Flowing Water: Lmao, am I really the only one in this stream without dirty thoughts?']
[Mondstadt Tea Party, feels like this version has nothing to do with Mu Yang]
[Just let Dvalin go berserk again, and Mu Yang will show up]
[Top Hat Venti: Screw you]
The livestream began, and Cocogoat dared to openly sleep here.
"Shushu, the next recording is starting!"
"Uh... Sweetflowers are so sweet... So hungry..."
The voice actor got into character, roleplaying as Ganyu.
The sassy Traveler mercilessly roasted her tone.
Ganyu said, "Because I heard today's host isn't Jean but Ganyu, so I wanted to get closer to my daughter's vibe."
[Voice actors are monsters.JPG]
[Ganyu's soft, Jean's hard]
[???]
Aether couldn't take it anymore, "Excuse me, what the hell?"
Ganyu: "Do you have a problem with that?"
Albedo and Ganyu formed a united front.
Ahem, "Those of us with multiple roles understand this feeling. Aether wouldn't get it, so let's not bother with him."
Aether teared up, "Wuwu..."
[Hahaha, so mean]
[Lies don't hurt, the truth cuts deep]
[Love little Ganyu, mwah]
[Mondstadt Tea Party host: Seven Stars secretary Ganyu]
[That's Acting Grand Master Jean, you fool]
[VA joke: I'm tired]
After a brief introduction, the version PV began.
This version's theme was Dragonspine.
The final image in the PV, featuring Albedo's luscious hair, made Little Gui burst out laughing.
"LOL, is Albedo's hair model for real?"
[Isn't this false advertising?]
[All the modeling resources went to Mu Yang's ice dragon, Albedo will have to make do]
Next, the preview livestream introduced several new characters—
Albedo, Ganyu, Sucrose, Rosaria, and Xingqiu.
Along with various mini-events.
Ganyu: "For the next event, I wonder if you all remember that merchant with the cool hairstyle from the last version."
Albedo: "The one who gave out red packets?"
[Damn, Liben's back?]
[If you'll have me, I vow to call you Stepfather!]
[How can a man live under another's shadow? Stepfather, tell him!]
...
Ganyu: "Yes, yes, that merchant Liben is back again."
Ganyu: "But this time, there's a slight difference. You can now visit other players' worlds to exchange rewards with the merchant."
Liben's gift packs still give the same amount of Primogems, but the other rewards vary.
This is for players' convenience—take what you need.
Aether: "Then I'll just go door-to-door looting everyone later."
Lumine: "Deleting friends!"
[What I lack isn't materials, it's friends!]
[I just came online, why are you attacking me like this?]
[Garen building Whisper now, huh?]
[Keep talking and I'll cry, I swear]
The moment the Liben event was announced, every livestream was flooded with "Stepfather" spam.
Mu Yang could only laugh—how dare they claim that title for a few hundred Primogems?
Tonight, I shall be crowned!
Ganyu clapped her hands, "Alright, alright, let's move on to the final event of this version."
Ganyu: "This one also involves an old acquaintance of ours. Everyone here has some connection to him."
Lumine: "Hehehe, I smell a showdown brewing."
Aether seized the chance to strike back, "Ah, this is something Albedo wouldn't understand, right?"
Albedo: "Actually, I'm not entirely unrelated. Everyone says my hair got thinner, but truthfully, I designed those two ice dragons."
The three: "O(∩_∩)O Hahaha…."
[Official roast, huh?]
[They can just say that out loud? LOL]
——————
Guinaifen grew more excited the more she listened.
"Folks, isn't this basically confirmation? Connected to the other three, and they mentioned ice dragons?!"
"My husband is back, baby!"
[Yang really specializes in comeback matches, back so soon?]
[No confirmation yet, don't celebrate too early]
[Don't go, okay?]
Ganyu: "Okay, okay, no more teasing. The final event is related to our Mu Yang."
Ganyu: "What are your impressions of Mu Yang?"
Lumine: "Dotes on me, way too much. So reliable. If I'm ever in danger, I'll just yell, 'Help me, Mu Yang!'"
Aether: "Rich. If I had the choice back then, I wouldn't given that box to Ningguang—I'd have sold it for profit."
[Classic Aether move]
[This guy represents the average player]
[Fr, I thought the same. 20 million Mora, how much Resin would that convert to?]
Albedo: "My impression? Strong, definitely. I've rewatched that sword strike so many times—it's just chef's kiss."
Ganyu summarized, "Exactly—strong, reliable, and rich. This event perfectly matches those traits."
Ganyu gave a brief overview.
Mu Yang returned to Chenyu Vale to recuperate, and during his recovery, he gained new insights from his battle with Osial.
Thus, this event was born. As for the details, that's all they could reveal—players would have to experience it for themselves.
Aether: "He's not gonna use us as test dummies for his sword skills, is he?"
Lumine: "I have to fight Mu Yang? For real?"
Albedo: "We'll win."
Lumine: "If you can't reveal the event details, at least tell us the rewards?"
Aether: "Yeah, yeah, where's the 'rich' part you mentioned?"
Ganyu: "Ahem, let me give you a tiny hint. The rewards this time are personally prepared by Mu Yang himself."
Ganyu: "If Travelers can pass the trials he's set in the story, they'll receive Primogems, 10 million Mora, and adeptus machinery!"
Ganyu: "After completing the story, Travelers will unlock another difficulty level for the event. This mode requires teamwork to clear—it's extremely challenging."
Ganyu: "Of course, Mu Yang's rewards are equally generous. Aside from materials, you can also obtain the newly introduced 4-star character Xingqiu, as well as two 5-star characters."
Ganyu: "I'll keep it vague for now—they're characters from the standard wish pool."
——————
Guinaifen clasped her hands in prayer, devoutly chanting, "Mu Men."
[Mu Men!]
[Oh my sweet lord, am I dreaming? Giving away 4-stars AND 5-stars?]
[Dad, I was just joking about calling Liben 'Stepfather,' don't take it seriously. There's no stepfather here, haha!]
[I've wandered half my life…]
[Free 5-star? Hahaha, I've made it, Daoist!]
[In the name of the Father!]
[Giving away characters, materials, AND Mora? Mu Yang is spoon-feeding us!?]
[Am I the only introvert terrified of 'teamwork required'?]
[A free 5-star! INTROVERT? SCREW THAT!]
...
The preview livestream ended.
Tonight, countless godfathers were born across Parallel Earth...
