"Slurp!"
The first bite of instant noodles entered Furina's mouth.
Very quickly, Furina felt the richness of the gourmet food from another world.
Golden light seemed to shine from her eyes as she took one bite after another.
By now, she had already forgotten that she had claimed she wasn't hungry, and she had also forgotten that she was Fontaine's big celebrity.
Lin Xuan propped his hand on the table and asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"
Furina spoke vaguely while eating, "Mmm, delicious… it's so delicious!"
Not long after, Furina finished an entire bowl of instant noodles, and she even looked like she still wanted more.
"Aiya, I remember someone saying she was still digesting or something. Why is she eating faster than anyone now?"
Hearing Lin Xuan tease her, Furina realized she might have lost her composure a little.
But Lin Xuan underestimated her ability to improvise—and even more, he underestimated her talent for making things up.
"Hmph, you really don't understand any manners."
"When faced with the host's warm hospitality, the guest should respond with the same enthusiasm!"
Lin Xuan was speechless. She always seemed able to find the perfect excuse.
After enjoying the delicious instant noodles, Furina sat in her chair and took a very satisfying gulp of juice.
"Right, Lin Xuan, why do you seem to know me really well?"
Furina suddenly remembered an important question.
While washing the dishes, Lin Xuan replied, "If I said I learned about you through a game, would you believe me?"
"Hmm…"
Furina placed a finger on her lips and thought, "Don't tell me it's Seven Saints Summons?"
"How is that possible." Lin Xuan walked out of the kitchen. "It's a game called Genshin Impact, and it has a lot of information about you all."
"Sounds pretty good, but is this game really that amazing?" Furina immediately grew interested.
"Of course. Genshin Impact is an open-world adventure mobile game developed by Shanghai Mihuyou. The story takes place in—"
"Stop, stop, stop! What are you even talking about? I don't understand at all. You sound like an actor reading lines from a script for the first time."
Furina interrupted Lin Xuan's full recitation, leaving him slightly disappointed.
Come on, this was the sacred scripture—every player should know it by heart!
Originally, Lin Xuan planned to turn on his computer to show Furina what Genshin Impact was.
But then he saw his broken laptop.
Feeling heartache, he had no choice but to use his phone instead, even though the experience wouldn't be as good.
The moment he entered the game screen, Furina felt as if she were seeing an entirely new world.
"Wow! This is Genshin Impact? It even has the Court of Fontaine!"
"Heavens, even the buildings look exactly the same—amazing!"
Furina was extremely excited, practically pressing herself against Lin Xuan.
"Well? Amazing, right?" Lin Xuan looked very pleased.
"Hurry, let me see how you play this game!"
Furina snatched Lin Xuan's phone away, but unfortunately, she didn't know how to control it at all.
The whole screen shook wildly—everything was spinning.
With Lin Xuan's patient guidance, Furina gradually learned how to operate the game.
She was quickly drawn in, especially by the ability to freely travel between nations and experience different characters.
"Lin Xuan, who is this person named Zhongli? His shield is way too strong!"
After playing for two hours, Furina had gained a basic understanding of the game's mechanics.
For newcomers, a strong shield character could drastically improve the gameplay experience.
Clearly, our Geo Lord fit that role perfectly.
"Oh, him? He's just a loafer in Liyue who spends his time drinking tea and listening to opera."
"That's strange. How can a loafer be this strong? Shouldn't a character like this be the legendary Geo Archon?"
Furina muttered, but didn't think deeper about it.
Lin Xuan didn't expect Furina to be so sharp—she guessed Zhongli's true identity right away.
After playing for a bit longer, Lin Xuan remembered something extremely important.
Slap!
He suddenly smacked the table and stood up.
"Ah! What are you doing!"
Furina was so startled she nearly threw the phone.
Without a word, Lin Xuan took the phone back.
This made Furina anxious, and she reached out to snatch it back.
But Lin Xuan was a full head taller than her, so even if she jumped, she couldn't reach.
"Hurry up and give me back the phone! I want to play Genshin Impact!"
"How can you treat a guest like this? And I'm a well-known Fontaine superstar!"
"You should feel honored that I even agreed to your invitation, and you're still not letting me play Genshin Impact!"
Furina was both anxious and angry, pulling out her usual set of lines again.
"Since you already said you're my guest, then shouldn't a guest listen to the host?"
Lin Xuan gave an evil grin as he followed her logic.
Furina suddenly felt a very bad premonition and quickly covered herself with both hands.
"T-theoretically speaking, that's true, but even so, you can't make unreasonable requests!"
"Like… like intimate contact or something!"
"What do you take me for? I'm a proper gentleman!" Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. "I just want you to cooperate for a video."
Furina instantly forgot about Genshin Impact and clenched her little fists. "No way—Lin Xuan, you're a director?"
Fontaine was a nation rich in artistic culture, with drama and film being extremely popular.
So naturally, Furina first thought of movies.
"D-director?" Lin Xuan looked a bit embarrassed. "Sort of, but not the type you're imagining."
The reason Lin Xuan wanted to record a video was because the system reminded him:
To upgrade the system, he needed to gain popularity through the invited characters.
The system didn't specify how, but obviously, popularity required exposure.
And what was the fastest way to gain exposure?
Of course, filming a video and uploading it online!
With Furina's peerless beauty and perfectly accurate personality, he didn't believe it wouldn't go viral.
After learning that Lin Xuan was a "director," Furina began pacing around the room.
She held her chin with her fingers, thinking about how the video should be recorded.
"Hm, I imagine I must have many fans in this world called Blue Star too, right?"
"As a famous celebrity, my first appearance must be dignified."
"What should my lines be…"
Furina took this matter extremely seriously—but Lin Xuan didn't.
He wasn't a real director, and he lacked the time and resources. Better to just record something casual…
"Ahem!"
After roughly planning things out, Lin Xuan spoke. "For your first video, it's fine to keep things simple. No need to be so formal."
Furina didn't quite understand, but she still followed his suggestion.
With a blink, she asked, "So what exactly are we filming?"
"Hmm…"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan said, "Can you summon your three partners?"
"Oh, you mean Miss Chevreuse, Lady Navia, and Lord Wriothesley?"
Lin Xuan nodded eagerly with great anticipation.
"All right, then I'll try calling them."
Furina adjusted the brim of her hat and attempted to use her abilities here on Blue Star.
