The next evening, at the Wangshu Inn.
When Bai Hao finally woke up, his backend Mora balance had already surpassed one billion.
"The feeling of earning money while lying down… truly delightful."
He sighed contentedly, got up, washed his face, opened a can of coconut milk, and started up the secondary creative livestream.
Once again, everyone across all of Teyvat was forcibly pulled into the broadcast.
[Keqing: Again?! I'm busy preparing for the Rite of Descension! (angry face)]
[Lisa: At least it's evening this time—it reminds me to clock out. But if you do this during my nap or in the middle of the night, darling, I will be cross. @The Mishearing Maniac]
[Sayu: I hate this stream the most! (half-asleep rage)]
[Yoimiya: Oh, I actually like it! Yesterday I got a bottle of Universal Ear Medicine for answering correctly—it cured my dad's deafness in just a few drops! ^_^]
[Yae Miko: You've said that over twenty times today, little girl from the Naganohara family.]
[Yoimiya: Hehe~]
[Klee: Klee likes this livestream too! There's always something funny to watch every day!]
[Qiqi: Qiqi… also likes. There is… coconut milk.]
[Arataki Itto: This great Arataki Itto—ahem—I'm never answering another quiz again! Swallowing a pound of beans and getting chased by Kujou Sara who then confiscated my Vision—unforgivable!]
[Kujou Sara: That wasn't "confiscation." It was reclaiming government property.]
[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, please stop talking and drink your medicine already, or your allergies will flare up again.]
[Kaeya: So, Mr. Streamer, when are you gonna play another video like Mona's "Mother Goddess" one?]
[The Mishearing Maniac: Soon enough—everyone will get their share. o(￣︶￣)o]
[Kaeya: Perfect.]
[Beidou: So, who's the lucky victim today?]
[Lisa: I'd rather not be made into a meme, even for a reward. (rests chin in hand, sultry look)]
[Paimon: Yeah! Only one million Mora to socially die in front of the entire world? Total rip-off!]
[Mona: Paimon, are you reading my ID number aloud again? (▼ヘ▼#)]
[Lumine: If there's any chance it might give me a clue about my brother, I don't mind being made into one.]
[The Mishearing Maniac: Cough cough Well, not all my meme videos are trolling, okay? Some are deeply moving and inspirational! I'm not a total demon, you know~]
In Bai Hao's channel, half the videos were god-tier battles; the other half were wild Dendro Wars.
Sure, a lot of his meme edits left people dizzy and seeing black spots—but there were just as many that were tear-jerking or downright epic.
There were emotional tributes like Traveler and Aether's Farewell, goosebump-inducing ones like Ye Tiandi's Divine Blade, and awe-inspiring montages like The Great Game of the World.
Not to mention creators like "Boss Ha," who constantly tore Genshin's official plot apart in hand-drawn parodies—killing the devs twice over with sheer creativity.
That, too, was a kind of meme art.
[Yae Miko: Really now? I don't believe you.]
[Azhdaha: Unless you show us everything!]
[The Mishearing Maniac: Hmph, you say 'show' and I just obey? How humiliating would that be for me! ╭(╯^╰)╮]
Everyone in the livestream collectively gave him the middle finger.
[Kokomi: Excuse me… is there any meme about the Vision Hunt Decree or the Shogunate army?]
[The Mishearing Maniac: Emmm… why do you ask?]
[Gorou: We've sent so many private messages to the Raiden Shogun, hoping for peace talks, but she never replies!]
The war between Watatsumi Island and the Shogunate had raged for two or three years now, with heavy casualties on both sides.
Kokomi's leadership circle all hoped to bring peace quickly. They had even tried messaging the Shogun privately, but not once had she responded.
With no other way, they wanted to bring Inazuma's internal conflict to public attention—hoping that international opinion would pressure for peace.
[Raiden Ei: …What is a "private message"?]
[Yae Miko: Pfft—It's that little envelope icon in the bottom right corner, darling. It means someone sent you mail.]
[Raiden Ei: Oh? I see. Let me look.]
In the Plane of Euthymia.
Raiden Ei opened her inbox and began scrolling.
With a god's ability, tens of thousands of messages took her barely half a minute to read.
Regarding the petitions from Watatsumi Island, Ei's expression remained cold and dismissive.
"The Vision Hunt Decree was established by my own hand.
Mortals do not need Visions to seek change—they are the source of chaos."
"I have granted my people a single dream: I am the Eternal, unchanging through the ages.
I will safeguard Inazuma for a thousand years, ten thousand years."
"If you truly desire peace, then surrender your Visions willingly, rather than defying me to the death."
[Kujou Takayuki: Precisely! The will of the Shogun is not to be questioned by mere mortals!]
[Hiiragi Shinsuke: Beware Watatsumi's attempts to sow division!]
[Kujou Sara: Seems the rebels in Tatarasuna still haven't suffered enough.]
[Shogunate Soldiers: The eternal way is vast—Narukami forever!]
Wangshu Inn.
Bai Hao leaned on his hand, clicking his tongue.
"Yikes… my dear Ei-chan's been completely fooled by her court lackeys and brain-dead fans."
Anyone who'd played the Inazuma main story knew how rotten the Shogunate had become.
The Kujou Clan and the Hiiragi Clan were both colluding with the Fatui, selling out the nation, pushing the Vision Hunt Decree, and forcing Watatsumi Island into rebellion.
Meanwhile, Ei herself—being a shut-in goddess—stayed locked away in the Plane of Euthymia, leaving everything to Scaramouche Shogun.
Inazuma had fallen into darkness, and her so-called "auto-pilot monarchy" was the main reason why.
Originally, Bai Hao had planned to meme Zhongli today.
But seeing the situation… it was time to educate his precious Ei-chan first.
That stiff brain of hers needed to be jolted awake!
He took down the prepared Zhongli Compilation and uploaded a new video instead—
"Xiangling Teaches Raiden Shogun How to Cook!"
And the livestream began to play—
