"Wait… all these chained event quests reward Primogems?!"
Tuji rubbed her beautiful eyes, staring at the missions on her screen in disbelief.
Every quest related to Elric gave Primogems as rewards.
Even the new quest issued by Layla did the same.
This was ridiculous.
Was this MiHoYo's beloved golden child finally showing up?
Did they hear that the game next door was giving away a five-star character, so they panicked and decided to shower players with freebies?
The more Tuji thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Competition really did bring benefits.
I mean—has anyone considered the possibility that Elric might actually be our game's free five-star character?
Our Genshin finally has its own selectable five-star?!
[I've never seen MiHoYo give out this many Primogems before. It's really Uncle Liben rerun all over again.]
[Wuwuwu, why didn't Elric Mommy come earlier? Is it still worth downloading Genshin now?]
[Elric Mommy gives so much… I… I can't handle it…]
[I'll top you off!]
"Unhinged."
Tuji immediately told the moderators to step in.
These people were going feral way too easily. If the platform admins noticed, her stream might actually get nuked.
After that, she blinked thoughtfully. Instead of rushing into the quest, she decided to roam around Port Ormos first.
Maybe there were hidden easter eggs.
With a character as absurd as Elric, there was a real chance the devs had hidden something fun.
If she discovered one on stream, that'd be free clout.
Of course, this wasn't some grand festival like Windblume, Lantern Rite, or the Irodori Festival.
The map models wouldn't change much—just a few small details here and there.
[Auntie, why are you wandering around? Hurry up and do the story!]
[I wanna see everyone investigating Elric!]
[Faruzan is so cute though.]
[What are you talking about? Lumine is obviously the cutest.]
[What? You also think Elric × Aether is a great ship?]
[Get out of the stream, ya BL freak!]
[I disagree. Isn't Elric × Layla peak? Senior–junior CP is delicious.]
[Get lost, they're my husband and wife!]
[You get lost!]
[So monogamous, huh.]
[Huh? This fandom is a mess.]
"..."
Tuji was speechless.
They could even start a war over this?
Whatever. She went back to hunting for easter eggs.
She controlled Lumine, sprinting wildly through Port Ormos like a husky off its leash.
Opening random chests.
Peeking at other people's letters.
Picking up stray books.
Even worse—just seconds after complaining about horny chat, she deliberately switched to Raiden Shogun near the river and laughed wickedly.
"Hehehe… ah~ damp? Oh my, I'm sooo wet~"
[STOP, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!]
[This is NOT a kid-friendly bus!]
[Tuji, horny! Hentai!]
[You old auntie are kinda lewd… I like it.]
Not only was Tuji shameless, she even teleported to a high place, switched to Kamisato Ayaka, and started giggling mischievously.
"Holy crap, you can see Ayaka's panties from this angle?!"
She spun the camera like a professional pervert, checking every angle.
[STOP, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY AYAKA?!]
[Judging by that laugh, you've definitely climbed that ladder, haven't you?]
[W-what ladder? I don't know anything about ladders in Mondstadt.]
[Yeah yeah, I also don't know about any pillars.]
[And what's special about Lisa's JP voice anyway?]
[Alright folks, stream ends here today—urgent matter, I forgot to bathe Paimon.]
[I know exactly what you're about to do 😏]
"Ahem. Back to serious business."
Tuji coughed lightly and moved away from the river.
The platform admins had already DM'd her with a warning.
She didn't care about the money—but getting her channel banned would mean losing interaction with her beloved idiots online.
And that would be unacceptable.
"You—admin—go stir-fry two dishes for me!"
"Huh? What's this? Let's interact."
She reached a mysterious corner where a glowing object appeared on the ground.
[Mysterious card? Tuji, you dare pick this up?!]
[Careful, don't get arrested by the Matra!]
[Holy crap, did she actually find a hidden easter egg?!]
She clicked to read it.
I, reeking of Spantamad.
How dare I approach you, a Kshahrewar student.
During campus recruitment, you were heaven's chosen.
I was a rat in the gutter.
You research in labs and work in the wild, your hands covered in mud.
How could mine dare hold the strong arms of a Kshahrewar senior mixing concrete?
My pathetic 2,000-Mora monthly hands—
How could they dare touch your million-Mora annual hands from the Akademiya?
Below it was an NPC photo—surprisingly decent-looking.
In real life, NPCs all looked the same except for clothes.
But in-game, everyone had distinct beauty.
If the world really looked like the game, Elric would go insane trying to tell people apart.
And this NPC had been personally selected by Elric for photos—his taste could be trusted.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Now I finally understand why Kaveh complains that Kshahrewar has a terrible gender ratio!"
Tuji slammed the desk laughing uncontrollably.
[You don't even need to think—this was definitely Elric's doing.]
[Kaveh, just tell me: was the publicity effective or not?]
[Good news: more people joined Kshahrewar.
Bad news: they're all men.]
[Civil engineering bros stay winning.]
"No way—Version 4.0 better release Elric. He's way too absurd. I can't hold myself back anymore."
Tuji pulled out her phone, opened a certain blue app starting with "P," and contacted her favorite artist.
She immediately commissioned a lewd Elric illustration.
She loved this personality way too much.
And he was handsome too.
Especially those ruby-like, sparkling crimson eyes—they hit her right in the soul.
They always said white hair + red eyes was peak taste.
But honestly? Black hair + red eyes works just as well.
