"How interesting, truly too interesting! Hall Master loves it here!"
Hu Tao was the first to rush forward, arriving at the very center of the allogene area.
"Oh my, such a faithful rendition of Hu Tao!"
A boy carrying a lucky bag and wearing a themed shirt immediately spotted Hu Tao.
And coincidentally, his shirt also featured Hu Tao.
"My goodness, there's even Furina!"
"Zhongli, Venti, Hai Ge, Kaveh… I'm going to faint, are my eyes really not playing tricks on me?"
"If they weren't moving, I'd think these were 3D printed models."
Once someone took the lead, it was as if a snowball effect occurred, and people from all around converged here like a tide.
"Lord Furina, I am your dog!"
"Yoimiya, I'm going to tear off your bandages!"
"Klee, Klee, Bouncy Bombs…"
These people were like mad, either shouting character lines or saying some suggestive things.
Xavier was somewhat scared by this scene; he hadn't expected everyone's enthusiasm to be so high.
If it weren't for the security and staff around, these people might have already charged over.
"This… does it have to be so scary?!"
Furina recoiled, this was the craziest scene she had ever witnessed.
"Oh, don't be afraid, this just shows everyone likes us a lot, it's fine!"
Hu Tao was still more optimistic, constantly greeting everyone and waving her hand.
"This, this, this, is this a comic convention? It's not quite what I imagined!"
Kaveh rubbed his head, unable to accept it for a moment.
He had originally thought that a comic convention should be a place for display, just like the exhibitions he had attended before.
But upon arriving here, he found it completely different; everyone's level of interaction was so high, and some even said things about wanting to marry him.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but then someone suddenly uttered a shocking phrase.
"Kaveh, can you and Alhaitham kiss? After all, you've already had your golden wedding, right?"
Kaveh felt his brain instantly crash.
"Wait a minute, what are they saying?!"
Kaveh frantically tried to process what they were saying, attempting to understand.
But even after searching through all the vocabulary in his brain, he still couldn't comprehend.
Nahida gently reminded him from the side: "Kaveh, you might not know, but allogene players think you and Alhaitham are a couple, so everyone loves to ship you two."
"Lord Grass God, why are even you saying such strange things? Also, what is 'CP'…?"
Kaveh really wanted to ask this group of allogene players, "Do you all play allogene this obsessively normally?!"
"CP, oh, I know!" Furina, who was up-to-date with internet trends, explained, "CP means that two people are a pair, usually in a romantic relationship."
"That's impossible!"
Alhaitham, who had been mostly silent, and Kaveh spoke in unison at this moment.
Furina and Nahida exchanged glances; they probably understood why everyone liked to ship them…
And the conversation between the two was interpreted by fans as official fan service and for show.
"Oh my goodness, this is just too shippable."
"Help, why is it so sweet."
Some even showed an auntie smile, a feeling that made Alhaitham extremely uncomfortable.
What was wrong with these Blue Star people? Why did they have such strange hobbies?
"So Alhaitham and Kaveh have such a good relationship…" Cyno stroked his chin in thought.
Alhaitham said speechlessly, "Cyno, I don't think you're the kind of guy who only sees people with his ears, are you?"
"Of course not, but based on my understanding of allogene, it describes us very accurately, so it's highly credible."
Cyno's words completely silenced Alhaitham. After all that, you're also trying to say we're a ship, right?
"Cyno, Cyno, can you tell us a dad joke?!"
At this moment, another fan, he didn't know who, suddenly shouted, immediately perking Cyno up.
Upon hearing this, Kaveh and Alhaitham both stiffened involuntarily.
It was coming, the most terrifying thing was coming!
"So you guys really like my dad jokes?" Although Cyno was expressionless, his voice was noticeably louder.
A girl cosplaying Tighnari nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly! I have to listen to your dad jokes every day to fall asleep, they're very sleep-inducing!"
Xavier thought to himself, "Is this a compliment or an insult?"
Cyno thought for a moment, then asked the crowd: "Do you know what kind of small animal Alhaitham likes the most?"
Alhaitham gave Cyno a light glance, truly wondering why he had to use him for a dad joke. Was it just convenient?
A fan immediately asked: "It wouldn't be Kaveh, would it?"
If the occasion weren't inappropriate, Kaveh would probably have started cursing loudly right then.
It was bad enough to say they were a couple, but to say he was an animal!
"Incorrect." Cyno shook his head.
Immediately after, everyone guessed again, but no one got it right.
"Since none of you know, I will reveal the answer. The answer is…"
"Goose."
"Goose? Why?!"
"Because, Al (love) Haitham (goose)."
As soon as this was said, both Alhaitham himself and the entire audience fell silent.
"Uh-haha, funny, it's really funny!"
"Heh heh heh, he's indeed very funny, the funniest joke I've ever heard…"
Although the fans thought it was the coldest joke ever, they still gave Cyno a lot of face.
"That's terrifying, I actually got goosebumps."
Yoimiya rubbed her shoulders, feeling the air around her drop several degrees.
"Is this a joke? Why don't I find it funny at all…"
Ei whispered, starting to self-reflect, wondering if her sense of humor was too high.
"General, this is a dad joke, meaning a joke that tends to make the atmosphere awkward." Ayaka quietly explained from the side.
Bennett was equally puzzled: "Huh? Then why do such jokes exist in this world?!"
Ayaka shook her head; it was beyond her scope of knowledge.
Nahida enlightened her people: "I think it's because this world needs dad jokes to exist. Losing dad jokes might be like this world losing mosquitoes."
Venti silently grumbled: "What a strange analogy. Would this world be terrifying if it lost mosquitoes?"
Indeed, none of these gods were normal.
Unlike himself, who, apart from enjoying a little drink, was perfectly normal!
