Mihoyo Inventory Chapter 7: The Q&A's Punishments and Rewards
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" At that moment, a sharp, ear-piercing scream erupted from the Cathedral of Favonius, nearly shattering everyone's eardrums.
"That bard who loafs around Mondstadt all day stealing wine is actually the Anemo Archon—Lord Barbatos!" Barbara slumped weakly onto the ground, her face a mask of utter despair.
"Barbara, are you alright? Are you okay?" Seeing her state, Sister Victoria and the others looked at her with deep concern.
"Heh, hehe… ahhhhhhh! I'm going to bring Lord Barbatos back and properly teach him how to be a god!" Barbara said, her expression visibly crumbling.
Looking at the clearly unstable Barbara, Sister Victoria and the others couldn't help but feel a sudden chill run down their spines.
Meanwhile, Venti, who was sitting on the great tree at Windrise, suddenly felt a shiver go down his back.
…
[ Genshin Impact - Jean: Barbara, are you okay? I just heard someone say you screamed very loudly, it sounded like… ]
Jean was extremely anxious. After all, Barbara's devotion to the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, was known to everyone in Mondstadt. Now that she knew the god she worshipped was actually a drunkard…
[ Genshin Impact - Barbara: I'm fine, Acting Grand Master Jean! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Victoria: Miss Barbara, where are you going with that giant bundle of rope? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Aha: Oh, it looks like there's some great fun to be had! ]
"Ding! The first Q&A session has concluded. Congratulations to Mr. Xuan Yong from Honkai: Star Rail for the correct answer!"
"Distributing reward: Eternal Black Hole!"
"This is the signature technique of the strongest being from the world of Ultra Beast Force—Underworld Ray. It possesses the power to annihilate everything. Even the second strongest being of that world, Snow Ray, was trapped by this skill for a full one hundred thousand years!"
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: ?!!! A black hole? ]
This reward sent shockwaves through the people of the Honkai: Star Rail universe. Anyone who wasn't a fool had heard of the terrifying power of a black hole; no living creature could survive within one.
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Lola: Lord Xuan Yong is mighty!! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Roger: My foolish brother, Lord Xuan Yong was already powerful to begin with! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Nahida: What is this black hole? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: A black hole is… ]
Subsequently, the people from the Honkai Impact 3rd world explained to those in the Genshin Impact world what a black hole was.
[ Genshin Impact - Alhaitham: To think a black hole could be so terrifying! ]
"Ding! Since Genshin Impact's Ningguang and Keqing answered incorrectly, punishments will now be issued!"
"Punishment for Ningguang: Perform 'Gokuraku Jodo' while wearing a maid outfit!"
"Punishment for Keqing: Sell one hundred servings of beef offal within three hours!"
"The punishments will be live-streamed in their entirety!"
[ Genshin Impact - Ningguang: Is this punishment for real? ]
At this moment, Ningguang felt utterly unwell. As the prestigious Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, she was actually being forced to come out and dance in such strange clothing.
[ Genshin Impact - Keqing: Selling a hundred servings of beef offal in three hours? That's fine. I've even done manual labor in the mines before! ]
Keqing wasn't too resistant to her punishment. After all, she had worked in the Chasm's mines; selling beef offal was nothing in comparison!
Soon, the screen showed Ningguang dressed in a maid outfit.
[ Genshin Impact - NPC: Holy crap, she's so beautiful. I'm hard! ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - NPC: I know who I'm dreaming about tonight! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - NPC: Let's gooo, full speed ahead! ]
The video of Ningguang dancing in a maid outfit caused an immediate sensation across the three worlds, as countless "men of culture" began to cheer wildly.
Looking at the unsightly comments on the screen, Keqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she wasn't the one punished with the maid outfit dance, or she would have wanted to die.
Then again, that woman Ningguang dances surprisingly well. I've never seen her dance before. No, I have to make her dance for me next time. Looking at the graceful Ningguang on the screen, Keqing secretly made a certain resolution.
Before long, Ningguang finished the entire dance and was teleported back to her room. She collapsed onto her bed, face stained with tears, unwilling to say a word.
With Ningguang's punishment over, the crowd in the chat quieted down, waiting for the next punishment to begin.
"Keqing's Beef Offal, one hundred Mora per serving!"
With a shout on the screen, Keqing's punishment began. Keqing appeared wearing a chef's hat and an apron, pushing a small beef offal cart and calling out to customers.
"The Yuheng herself is selling beef offal? I have to buy a bowl and try it!"
"I'll buy one too!"
"Save one for me!"
For the citizens of Liyue, the beef offal wasn't the main point; the point was that they had never seen Lady Keqing, the Yuheng, selling street food before. They had to go and show their support.
Thanks to the enthusiasm of the Liyue citizens, the beef offal sold out quickly. As Keqing's punishment ended, the live stream drew to a close.
"Today's commentary has concluded. Please return tomorrow. The stream room is going offline for a rest!"
…
As the live stream disappeared, Teyvat was left in a state of absolute chaos.
In Mondstadt, whenever people saw Venti in his green clothes, crowds would swarm him to greet him and offer him fine wine. However, at such times, a beautiful girl in a white dress would always be standing not far away, glaring at him with a murderous gaze.
In Liyue, countless citizens rushed to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor hoping to see Zhongli, but they were all blocked by the Millelith, who stated that Mr. Zhongli did not wish to see anyone.
In Inazuma, within the Plane of Euthymia, Raiden Ei opened her eyes and stared intently at a photo of the Traveler that Kujou Sara had sent over. She said coldly, "This time, I will not show mercy!"
In Sumeru, the Grand Sage brooded over the commentary regarding the Traveler's rescue of Lesser Lord Kusanali. He issued an order forbidding the Traveler from stepping foot in Sumeru; if the Traveler entered, the Corps of Thirty was to deport them immediately.
In Fontaine, Furina curled up on her bed, trembling. She kept muttering to herself, "Keep it up, Furina. You've made it through five hundred years. You won't fail. Keep it up, Furina!"
Meanwhile, Neuvillette stood outside Furina's house, gazing deeply at the building.
In Snezhnaya, the eleven Harbingers stood in a neat line before the Tsaritsa, bowing respectfully.
"Proceed according to the original plan. We must not let this live stream halt our progress!" The Tsaritsa swept a cold gaze over the eleven Harbingers.
"As you command, Your Majesty!" the eleven Harbingers shouted in unison.
However, among the eleven, there was one short figure whose eyes flickered with a different light.
…
Honkai: Star Rail, Herta Space Station.
"Quite an interesting live stream, wouldn't you say, Herta?" Xuan Yong sat on a sofa, looking at Herta with a smile.
"According to my analysis, this live stream room is definitely something more powerful than an Aeon!" Herta wasn't afraid of Xuan Yong attacking her. From their brief interaction, it was clear that unless you provoked him, he wouldn't strike easily.
"You have a point. Connecting three different worlds is something even an Aeon can't do." Hearing Herta's words, Xuan Yong chuckled, then looked at her with a mysterious glint in his eyes.
