Genshin Impact: Being in Teyvat, a Merchant of All Worlds

"Is the competition about to start?" Hu Tao stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hands, and leaned forward, trying to see the situation in the center venue. However, there was a huge crowd of people there, and she couldn't see what was going on inside even if she opened her eyes wide.

"Why don't we go watch the competition first and come back later to see the magical syrup." Xingqiu suggested.

Xiangling thought he made sense, so she nodded and said, "Anyway, the stall is there, and we can't run away."

"Let's go, there are more and more people." Chongyun urged everyone anxiously.

As he said, it didn't take long for the center venue to be surrounded by a dense crowd.

"Oh my God, why are there so many people! I can't squeeze in at all." Hu Tao walked forward with difficulty, while trying to raise her toes.

But even so, she could only see the heads of the people in front of her, and couldn't see anything else.

"Stop talking!" Xiangling raised her head with difficulty and opened her mouth, but her voice was as small as a mosquito's hum, "I feel like I'm about to be...squeezed into...a meat pie."

She felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

"Why don't we retreat first?" Chongyun's face was flushed, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He felt that his whole body was beginning to burn. If he stayed any longer, his pure yang constitution might break out.

Xingqiu immediately agreed, "Good idea, let's go!" As he spoke, he struggled to push away the crowd and tried to move back.

After a lot of arduous efforts, five minutes later, the four people finally broke through the heavy encirclement and came to an open place, breathing the fresh air outside smoothly.

"Oh my God, it's so terrible." Hu Tao patted her chest with lingering fear. The scene just now was still vivid in her mind, making her feel a little scared. She reached out to support her hat that was squeezed crooked and tidied her messy hair.

"I roughly counted them, there are at least nearly a thousand people." Xingqiu straightened his wrinkled clothes and frowned.

His face was still a little pale, obviously he had not recovered from the crowd just now.

"Alas... are we just going to give up like this?" Hu Tao sighed unwillingly. She had finally come here, how could she miss the most critical moment!

Thinking of this, Hu Tao decided to try again. She didn't believe that she couldn't get in with her years of experience.

Just as she was ready to charge again, a hand grabbed her arm like an iron clamp.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Seeing Hu Tao charging like an old cow, Zhongli rarely showed a trace of doubt.

"Guest, why are you here too!" Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li in surprise, then stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve tightly, and shouted anxiously: "Come and help me quickly, you are taller than us, you can see what is happening inside."

"Huh?" Zhong Li asked faintly, "Why are you rushing over? Is the hall master going to participate in this competition?"

"That's not the case!" Hu Tao hurriedly shook her head and explained, "This hall master just wants to join in the fun and see if there is anything interesting happening. Hehehe..."

Zhong Li frowned slightly and said, "But according to your current age, it seems that you can't drink alcohol, right? And it's not appropriate to rush in like this."

"Huh?"

Hu Tao blinked, full of doubts: "What does this have to do with whether I can drink or not? Aren't we just here to watch the game?"

"Guest, don't worry, this hall master is just going to join in the fun, not drink."

Hu Tao also patted Zhong Li's shoulder and put on a reassuring expression.

"But Master, those people who gathered around are all registered for the competition!"

Zhongli sighed helplessly, and he muttered to himself: Master is still the same, always doing things in a hurry, so impulsive, what can we do.

"Ah?" Hu Tao's eyes widened when she heard this.

She turned her head in disbelief, looking at Xiangling, Xingqiu and Chongyun who were also standing beside her, and said stutteringly: "So... we squeezed over so hard just now, but it was actually a complete waste of effort?"

Hu Tao: Oh, this is embarrassing

The four people looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while, and the whole scene fell into a strange silence.

Zhongli silently took in the expressions of each of them, shook his head gently, and then said: "Don't worry, I have acquaintances in Mondstadt, and when the competition starts, we will be able to meet again.I will find a way to take you in when the competition officially starts."

His tone was very calm, as if everything was under control.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Tao cheered excitedly: "Yeah! That's great!"

The haze on her face was instantly swept away, and she immediately showed an extremely bright smile, as if what had just happened had never happened.

Then, she turned to Xiangling and said excitedly: "In this case, let's go and see what the legendary magical sugar water looks like!"

After that, she couldn't wait to take Xiangling's hand and strode forward.

"Hehehe, thank you Mr. Zhongli." Xingqiu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, with a shy smile on his face. As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Chongyun forward.

Zhongli smiled slightly and said softly: "You're welcome. "

After saying that, he slowly took steps and followed the four people at an unhurried pace.

The sun shone on the four people, reflecting their young and energetic figures.

Two minutes later, Walnut was the first to arrive at the small stall selling magical sugar water.

This small stall was surrounded by more than a dozen children and several adults, and it looked very lively.

The stall owner was a young man, who shouted loudly: "Come and take a look, come and take a look, my stall is full of good things!"

While showing people the goods in his hands.

Walnut was attracted by the man's shouting, and she came forward curiously.

When the man saw Walnut, a sly light flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head to look at the child standing in the front, and then quickly took out a small glass bottle containing light blue liquid from the small bag on his waist.

"Little friend, look carefully! "The man said mysteriously, the glass bottle in his hand sparkled charmingly in the sun.

Then, he gently unscrewed the bottle cap, and a faint sweet smell wafted out.

"This is your blue sea mystery, please keep it, I guarantee you will feel the taste of happiness all day long."

The children cheered excitedly and stretched out their hands to touch the bottle of magical syrup.

Hutao was also attracted by the man's performance. She stared at the bottle of light blue liquid with wide eyes, her heart full of curiosity.

"Wow, what a beautiful color!"

Hutao's eyes lit up, and her eyes were fixed on the bottle of liquid emitting charming light, as if attracted by an invisible magic.
