So the Livestream Viewers Are All from Teyvat?!**
Inside the luxury villa, Arthur opened his livestream again.
"Good afternoon, everyone~
Yesterday we reviewed Miss Lumine. Today, we continue our Genshin Character Evaluation Series."
[Transcendent Chat Group]
[Venti]: Ehe~ finally!
[Yae Miko]: I wonder who the lucky one is today.
[Itto]: Hahaha! I wanna see this foxy woman's embarrassing stuff!
[Scaramouche]: Hmph. If it's her, things will be interesting.
[Lumine]: Whoever it is, at least it's not me! …Shame we can't interact with the streamer directly.
[Barbara]: Traveler, what does "interact with the streamer" mean?
[Lumine]: This light curtain works like something from another world. It's called a "livestream."
Basically, someone broadcasts what they're doing—like this guy reviewing characters—and viewers send messages that float on the screen. Those are "bullet comments."
[Nahida]: So that's how it works… If only we could talk to him.
[Ningguang]: Indeed. That would open many possibilities.
Just as everyone was talking—
A mechanical voice suddenly echoed in every Teyvat resident's mind.
[Ding! Chat Group upgrading!]
[Ding! Upgrade in progress…]
[Ding! Upgrade complete!]
[New functions unlocked: Special Bullet Interaction & Tipping System]
[Special Bullet Interaction: Send messages directly into the livestream to communicate with the streamer.]
[Tipping: You may send monetary gifts to the streamer to show support.]
[Hurry and support your beloved streamer~]
Silence.
Then—
Everyone froze.
They could really interact now?
Outside Mondstadt
Lumine stared at the message.
"…I was only joking… and it actually came true??
Do… do I have authority over this system or something?!"
Paimon munched grilled fish while blinking curiously.
"Lumine, quick! See how it works!"
Lumine fiddled with the interface for a bit and immediately figured it out.
"Paimon, let's—uh—buy a 'Captain' membership first."
"Only 19,800 Mora per person."
After yesterday's chaotic humiliation, they also received incredible benefits.
Lumine gained massive fame across Teyvat, received countless invitations—
and, most importantly, the Gourmet Tablecloth.
So yes, she suffered…
But she also profited greatly.
And Lumine, despite being a gremlin, was not someone who forgot favors.
Paimon hesitated.
"Isn't… isn't that too cheap? The streamer gave you so much yesterday…"
"Can't help it! We just arrived in Mondstadt!
We haven't even finished our first commission yet!
We're broke!"
"…Also true."
So the two took out their Mora.
And then—
[Congratulations! User Lumine has joined the Captain tier! Welcome to the Great Voyage!]
[Congratulations! User Paimon has joined the Captain tier! Welcome to the Great Voyage!]
Mondstadt – Knights of Favonius Headquarters
Lisa chuckled as she saw the notification.
"My my~ Little cutie sure acts fast."
Jean nodded.
"…We should also show goodwill."
Then—
[Congratulations! User Jean has joined the Governor tier!]
[Congratulations! User Lisa has joined the Governor tier!]
A Governor-tier membership—
Jean and Lisa had offered the strongest courtesy they could.
Liyue – Jade Chamber
Ningguang gave a light laugh.
"Tipping, hm? Very well. Let's begin."
Money? Not a problem.
Winning favor with a mysterious interdimensional entity?
Possibly worth thousands of times more.
[Congratulations! User Ningguang has joined the Governor tier!]
[Congratulations! User Keqing has joined the Governor tier!]
[Congratulations! User Ganyu has joined the Governor tier!]
The three wealthy ladies didn't hesitate.
Liyue – Wangsheng Funeral Parlor
"Haha! This Hall Master wants a Governor tier too!"
Hu Tao bought hers instantly.
Zhongli… hesitated.
Because this type of payment couldn't be put on the tab.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Hu Tao.
"Hall Master… may I borrow 2 million Mora?"
Hu Tao twitched.
So he couldn't put it on credit—thus he directly borrowed?
But ultimately, she sighed.
"Fine, fine. You're our consultant after all.
Just… do some more work later!"
Her 2 million Mora disappeared.
[Congratulations! User Hu Tao has joined the Governor tier!]
[Congratulations! User Zhongli has joined the Governor tier!]
And so it continued.
Across Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan—
Every faction, every noble, every general—
Everyone bought membership.
Some went Governor
Some went Admiral
The poorer ones bought Captain
The broke ones spammed "666" to at least show support
And poor Nahida…
Wanted to join the Great Voyage
But as someone locked inside the Sanctum of Silence
She literally did not possess a single Mora.
Many wanted to help her—
But they couldn't send money through the system.
And so—
The livestream exploded into thousands of notifications.
[Diluc – Governor]
[Yae Miko – Governor]
[Furina – Governor]
[Rosaria – Admiral]
[Thoma – Captain]
…It went on and on.
Within minutes, Arthur had—
Ten thousand paying subscribers.
And the numbers kept climbing.
Followed by a flood of bullet comments:
[Lumine]: Hehe~ Sorry, only Captain for now! I'll upgrade later!
Also—I'm NOT a dog! That was Bao Bao!
[Jean]: Greetings from the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.
[Ningguang]: My small offering. A token of respect.
Back in the villa
Arthur stared at the flood of notifications.
Completely stunned.
He expected some people to join the subscription tiers…
He did NOT expect the numbers to explode like this.
Even at the lowest tier—198 yuan per Captain—
ten thousand subscribers meant nearly 2 million yuan.
And this was after only a few minutes.
The monthly income—
Would be insane.
But what surprised him even more were the usernames:
Ningguang, Jean, Furina, Yae Miko…
He blinked.
"…What? The Archons—
no, three Archons—
actually have money?"
Thinking again, it made sense.
"Zhongli has Hu Tao.
Ei rules Inazuma.
Furina governs Fontaine.
Yeah, they're all wealthy."
"But why didn't Venti or Nahida…?"
Then he realized:
"Ah. Venti hasn't revealed he's Barbatos yet.
And Nahida is still imprisoned."
Meaning—
Teyvat's timeline was only at the very beginning.
Just past Mondstadt.
Early Liyue.
Before Sumeru liberation.
Before Fontaine's trial.
Arthur stroked his chin.
"This is going to be fun."
Meanwhile—
Blue Planet viewers began entering the stream as well.
At first, they thought this streamer must be some huge celebrity.
But when they saw it was just a small Genshin content creator…
They were confused.
Why were thousands of people joining high-tier memberships?!
Were these… bots?
Doubtful, they checked the membership list.
And saw—
[Ningguang (Governor)]
[Jean (Governor)]
[Furina (Governor)]
[Diluc (Governor)]
They froze.
Then someone typed:
"Bro…
Are your viewers… actually from Teyvat??"
