"Ye Zhi! Go check the announcement the official just made! Yuto might become the first character to have a Story Quest before being released!"
"And besides Lyney's Story Quest, no other character had their Story Quest immediately available when they entered the gacha pool… I didn't expect there to be a major prerequisite quest…"
"Oh my god… This is the true Fontaine social butterfly!"
"LMAO, the Sugarman forum is already saying Yuto is an internal favorite, a character designed by Wriothesley himself."
"Huh? Yuto has deep connections with most characters in Fontaine, so it should be fine for him to be a prerequisite quest, right?"
"Why do I feel like this quest is meant to expand the underlying world view? We might have to do Yuto's Story Quest before the main story later…"
Nonomi was momentarily stunned, looking at the barrage of comments appearing on the side.
Huh?
What happened?
If there was a chat bubble function right now, Nonomi's head… would definitely be full of question marks.
She just slept a bit longer and started streaming a little late; what exactly did she miss?
Isn't today the day Furina's gacha pool ends? Why did Yuto's Story Quest just pop up directly?
Nonomi felt her little head spinning, as if she hadn't fully woken up.
As the number of viewers in the live stream increased, discussions about Yuto grew, and the comments urging Nonomi to check the announcement also gradually increased.
Nonomi, after a yawn, opened the announcement and the in-game Story Quest interface.
There are currently three existing character Story Quests: [Yuto: Abyssal Spirit Chapter], [Neuvillette: Tides Chapter], [Lyney: Jailer's Hound Chapter], [Furina: Songstress Chapter].
Except for the Abyssal Spirit Chapter corresponding to Yuto, the remaining three quests… are all locked.
This means… Yuto's Story Quest, the most special one since the game's launch, is a prerequisite for these three quests.
Seeing this, Nonomi's face did not show surprise; instead, she was very calm and began to speak:
"While I don't know if this is the last character to have a Story Quest before being released, I'm not surprised."
"First, we need to understand that Yuto is a very special character. He possesses almost all the special powers we currently know about."
After saying that, Nonomi extended her hand and began to list Yuto's powers.
"The power of an Immortal Spirit representing the First Throne, Phanes, although he himself says it's sealed, this is probably a foreshadowing;"
"The power from beyond the world, which is the power from the Abyss, similar to the 'Demon King Armed' but called 'Law Enforcement Agency'."
"The power native to Teyvat, which is elemental power."
At this point, Nonomi paused slightly, then continued:
"This is just a part of the power Yuto has revealed so far; the secrets he holds are far more numerous than we currently imagine."
"That ability to foresee the future, and that domain ability similar to a thousand-person theater… these are all points we need to explore."
"From the perspective of his abilities, Yuto is a character who can connect to Sky Island above and the Abyss below; such a character is clearly not simple."
"I haven't done the Story Quest yet, but I guarantee you, Yuto's Story Quest will definitely involve the deepest underlying worldview logic of this world."
At this point, Nonomi took a sip of water, then turned her gaze to the comments, observing the audience's reactions.
"Come on, Ye Zhi is opening bets again, huh? Guess how many C6R5 this time (dog head for protection)"
"Shocking! A genshin lore streamer on Bilibili did this, and the reason is actually…"
"I think there's a logical problem… Isn't the streamer praising Yuto and stepping on the Dragon King? Neuvillette also has deep connections with these people, so why isn't it Neuvillette?"
"Do you think an Assistant Administrator who constantly grapples with external forces and balances various internal factions in Fontaine has deeper connections with them, or a Judge who is only responsible for Judgment?"
"This can also be twisted into character favoritism? Because Furina has always been taken care of by Yuto, are Fontaine's Zhongli and Hu Tao joking with you?"
"To be fair, Lyney has a high opinion of Yuto, and the rules of Meropide were all set by Yuto, so it's not a problem for him to be involved in Lyney's Story Quest, right?"
"You're just making things up. Yuto has greatly helped Neuvillette understand humans. This time, it's probably also revealing Neuvillette's inner world. Isn't this strongly tied to Yuto?"
…
Under the verbal onslaught of the crowd, the person who originally wanted to create drama by making Nonomi, a lore streamer, step on characters, slunk out of the live stream, leaving behind what they considered a profound statement.
"Is everyone in this live stream crazy? Are you all Yuto dream boys and dream girls? Can't you see such obvious favoritism? Justice! Cannot be killed!"
"You, a low-level streamer with small-mindedness and great resentment, will sooner or later be ruined!"
After saying this,
Looking at these familiar remarks, Nonomi sighed slightly, then began tracking the quest while speaking:
"Alright, alright, stop policing and visiting homes. Do you think your real lives are too smooth, so you want to convince someone on the internet?"
"Let him say what he wants. His mouth is his own; you can't cover it up, can you?"
"Besides, lore itself varies from person to person. Whether it's right or wrong, let's wait for the boomerang; don't rush to conclusions, it's meaningless."
Nonomi shrugged helplessly. Ever since she stepped forward and chose to become a lore streamer, she had thought about these issues.
She had been with Mihoyo for four years; she had seen all sorts of storms. These were minor scenes.
Thinking of this, she seemed to recall something else and then spoke:
"Just because someone calls you a dream boy, does that make you one? If so, everyone might as well not live, just find a place to bury themselves and be corpses."
"So, in real life, you need to learn to reason. This is so you can maintain clear logic when facing injustice, at least you won't suffer too much."
"And on the internet, you need to learn to accept the diversity of life, calmly view these people who speak abnormally, and just treat them as electronic pets~"
