The flapping frequency of the flaming wings gradually slowed down. Jun Bai landed in a place near Mondstadt City in Whispering Woods. The flaming wings unfolded behind him were retracted back into his body.
"The feeling of flying freely is pretty good." Jun Bai steadied his footing, stretched his body, and said, "By the way, Kujou Sara clearly has wings too. In theory, shouldn't she also be able to fly?"
[Games are games, reality is reality. In the real Teyvat world, Kujou Sara of course uses her own wings instead of the Wings of the Wind.]
[Just like the real Mondstadt City is not as small as it is in the game.]
"So the actual Mondstadt City is twice as big as a normal city, or even bigger?"
Jun Bai looked at the towering city walls not far away. Using the nearby trees as reference objects and silently making equivalent conversions in his mind, he obtained data showing the city walls were a hundred meters high.
The game data only showed more than ten meters, making Mondstadt City look like a village compared to the cities and towns of the other four nations.
However, only by actually seeing it with the naked eye could one truly appreciate the grandeur and magnificence of the only city in this nation that took ancient Rome as its prototype and had a thousand-year history as its foundation.
From a mortal's perspective, one would only feel their own insignificance. From a God's perspective, one would praise the power and wisdom of humans.
Mondstadt truly deserved to be one of the Seven Nations.
Jun Bai walked onto the bridge over Cider Lake leading to Mondstadt City. At this moment, a white pigeon landed on his shoulder, its posture very affectionate.
The white pigeons on the bridge flapped their wings and approached Jun Bai.
"Wow, big brother is so liked by the pigeons!" A little boy standing by the bridge exclaimed.
Seeing this boy, Jun Bai began to recall the period when he lacked poultry meat.
That's right. The one appearing before Jun Bai was none other than Teyvat's largest poultry meat supplier, the pitiful passerby NPC who had to watch his pigeons being slaughtered in various ways every day Timmie!
"I'm just more liked by little birds." Jun Bai smiled friendly at Timmie.
[Friendly (×), Guilty (√)]
Timmie looked at Jun Bai with envy and asked, "Big brother, do you have any secret? Can you tell me? I want to get closer to the pigeons."
"I'm very sorry, little friend. This is innate for me." Jun Bai said apologetically, then picked up the pigeon on his shoulder and placed it into Timmie's arms.
Then he patted little Timmie's head and prepared to enter Mondstadt City.
However, seeing the pigeons forming a circle around his feet, Jun Bai realized that his current bird affinity seemed a bit too strong.
He smiled helplessly, then leaped up and jumped out of the encirclement without touching any pigeon.
Jun Bai walked into Mondstadt City under Timmie's admiring gaze.
[By the way, I don't quite understand the purpose of your bird creature affinity setting.]
"It serves to match the setting, and there will be players who like this kind of setting that makes small animals happy."
[Don't understand. Forget it. As long as you're happy.]
Jun Bai smiled and did not speak.
When designing the story, he had once thought that since Teyvat had elemental dragons, there might be creatures similar to phoenixes or Adeptus birds.
And if he wanted to conceive a God's story, could he use a phoenix as the prototype to conceive a God.
That was how the God Phemix came to be.
The Nirvana God introduced in the background story had a fire phoenix as its prototype. A phoenix was the king of all birds. If there was no bird affinity, Jun Bai would feel that something was off.
Looking at it positively, this affinity could also allow him to make a shocking entrance in front of the Traveler tomorrow. Looking at it negatively, this affinity seemed unlikely to cause any substantial harm to himself.
At this time, it was the day before the main storyline officially began. In other words, Mondstadt was still experiencing the "Dragon Disaster."
To prevent criminals from entering Mondstadt City to cause trouble at this time, every stranger entering the city needed to be inspected by the Knights of Favonius.
Of course, Jun Bai, who had a certain understanding of Mondstadt, knew clearly that the Knights of Favonius' inspection was just a formality. The ones truly responsible for confirming whether dangerous individuals had entered Mondstadt City were Mondstadt's nighttime action trio: Kaeya, Rosaria, and Diluc.
So when asked about his purpose for coming to Mondstadt, Jun Bai decided to mess around a bit:
"I'm here to visit two old friends."
"Please tell us the names and general characteristics of your friends. The Knights will verify the residents in the city who match the description."
Jun Bai pretended to ponder and said, "Of the two people I want to visit, one is inconvenient to disclose information about. The other is a bard named Venti. As far as I know, he often recites poetry and composes music under the statue of the Anemo Archon in front of the Cathedral of Favonius. Sometimes he also appears at Angel's Share."
"Good. I will notify other knights to verify later."
After the knight in charge of questioning recorded it, he called another knight to investigate the situation.
Only after confirming that the information was true did Jun Bai successfully enter Mondstadt City.
Finding Venti was an excuse for entering the city, and it was indeed something Jun Bai planned to do, just not today, but tomorrow on the road when Dvalin entered the city.
After all, the other person he was looking for was still at the seaside at this moment.
Jun Bai found an inn in the city, checked in directly, then lay down to conserve energy and build up strength for tomorrow's plot.

Parallel world.
"Family, MiHoYo said the official servers will launch at 10 a.m. It's now 8 a.m. Little Guizi has already sat down in front of the computer, ready to snipe a UID."
Guinaifen sat in front of the computer and enthusiastically greeted the water friends in the livestream.
[Little Guizi, you're not alone. I'm also sitting in front of the computer right now, watching your livestream.]
[I'm preparing to snipe a UID. After all, we don't know if MiHoYo will launch the servers early.]
[Same here.]
[Same here.]
[Same here.]
Guinaifen looked at the bullet screen full of [Same here] and laughed: "One by one, getting up early in the morning, not thinking about working hard, but squatting in front of the computer waiting for the game to launch. Aren't you afraid the boss will deduct your salary?"
[No big deal. Anyway, my full attendance is already gone. The fact that I still came to work is already giving the boss face.]
[No big deal. Anyway, I don't have a job.]
[No big deal. Anyway, my parents owe me a house in Beijing. I can justifiably leech off them.]
[No big… wait, the person upstairs, you're not that big shot whose ancestral grave emitted green smoke four times, are you?]
Seeing the bullet screen style gradually going off track, Guinaifen quickly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, the character illustration officially posted on the MiHoYo community a couple of days ago family, you should all have seen it, right?"
"Little Guizi really admires the artist so much. My husband's illustration is truly handsome without any dead angles."
"And the teacher really understands our XP too well. That neck ring and leg ring are simply..."
[Guizi! Wake up! Stop being infatuated, or the livestream room will get banned!]
[Little Guizi! Stop fantasizing. MiHoYo doesn't play by the rules and launched the servers early!]
[Whoa! It really launched! Little Guizi, hurry up and get to work!]
"Ah! It launched early?" Little Guizi sat up startled from her dying state, angrily slammed the table, "MiHoYo, you don't play by the rules!"
Table HP -1.
Guinaifen clicked to enter, then spread her arms and shouted loudly: "Genshin Impact, launch!"
The parallel world's Genshin Impact officially launched its servers.
