"Oh dear, don't be so stingy, Lord Diluc. How about I exchange my best poem for a cup of dandelion wine, just one cup?" In the dead of night in Mondstadt, in the Gift of the Angel, a boy in a green cloak and hat, wearing white stockings, holding a harp, begged the bartender who was offering the gift of the angel.
The bartender didn't speak, but gave the boy a look. The boy shuddered and pouted. What god would be disliked by his followers? The old man next door and Thor were doing so well, one wandering the mortal world and the other pursuing eternity. But why was he the poor kid who had to watch other people's faces even to drink a glass of wine?
"Fine, I won't give it to you then." The boy left the angel's gift in a huff, but as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the angel's gift, before the gate could even close, a huge vortex appeared beneath his feet. The boy was shocked and hurriedly mobilized the surrounding wind elements to try to lift himself up, but the vortex was huge and the attraction was extremely strong, and the boy eventually fell into the vortex.
The bartender witnessed everything, remaining motionless as he mixed drinks. Mondstadt was thrown into panic by the vortex, but the Knights of Favonius did their best to suppress it, and it took several weeks for Mondstadt to return to normal.
But where has their god gone?
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Where am I?" Barbatos, now known as Venti, was kneeling on the ground with his toes pointing inwards. His harp wasn't broken, his cloak wasn't torn, but his backside had been badly bruised. He was surrounded by rocks like those in Liyue, and there was a lot of moss. He was sitting on them, and when he looked up, he could see the endless yellow sand.
Suddenly, a screen appeared in front of her, filled with a dense array of words, which startled Wendy. She struggled to decipher the words and pieced together some scattered information.
For example, one comment said, "What? Our Dragon Kingdom has someone like this cosplaying as a participant in the National Fortune Battlefield?" Yes, the key phrase is National Fortune Battlefield.
Some were: "Oh my god, a cute boy in white stockings, I'm in love, I'm in love!" Hmm... we can't extract the key information.
"Well, so I've ended up on the battlefield of national destiny, haven't I?" Wendy stood up, holding her harp in one hand and scratching her chin with the other, finally looking up at the sky and sighing, "I'm just an ordinary bard, why can't I just have a peaceful rest?"
Next, Wendy noticed a button for the shop. Clicking on it revealed a wide variety of items, but Wendy, who had been a complete drunkard since the time of the Wind Elf, immediately focused on this.
The Unending Mondstadt Dandelion Wine: A bottle of dandelion wine that can never be finished unless broken by external force. Price: 100 Mondstadt Coins.
Wendy's eyes lit up; he absolutely had to buy this! Mondstadt dandelion liqueur was his favorite thing.
"The countdown begins. In ten minutes, the first wave of monsters will attack. There will be a 30-minute break. There will be a total of five waves. Please prepare, all contestants."
The nation that defeats the monster first receives the richest reward, and the nation that defeats it last receives the worst reward. The game's notification sound rang out, and Wendy perked up. Alright, before a pleasant rest, let's go for the dandelion liqueur!
However, the comments weren't particularly optimistic about Venti, because he himself said he was just an ordinary bard. How long could a bard survive on such a perilous battlefield? Monsters wouldn't obediently listen to your singing and playing.
"I'm ready to run away."
"The contestants from China are more reliable!"
"The hopes of the entire nation rest on his shoulders!"
Unlike the anxious citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, Venti himself was working hard to start a fire. He was the Wind God, not some other god, and the Swell Reaction was something he should do. After all, he had been dragged by the Traveler to fight in the Abyss, so he knew what to do.
"Phew! At least it got going." Looking at the fire she had finally managed to start, Wendy wiped away non-existent sweat, put her hands on her hips for a moment, and felt incredibly proud of herself.
So let's get down to business, Barbatos!
The countdown ended quickly, and Wendy saw a purple portal appear out of thin air, from which monsters poured out one after another. Wendy smiled; a young man's smile was always bright and sunny. If... if this weren't a battlefield for national destiny!
"I'll throw it!" Wendy tossed the torch down, then twirled her right index finger, silently creating a wind field, which she then tossed away...
"Don't even think about escaping!" The playful voice had barely begun when the monster's screams began to fall. If just one of them got burned by the torch and imbued with fire element, Venti was confident he could start a prairie fire!
Looking at the "giant meat grinder" in front of them, the people of China and the world fell silent. Soon the monsters were all dead, and China was the first to end the battle!
"Oh, I wish I could sit in a big tree with an endless supply of dandelion wine." Wendy stretched, her slender waist wrapped in a corset that accentuated her beautiful curves. Her green cape and harem pants contrasted beautifully with her white shirt and stockings, creating a striking visual effect and evoking the essence of nature.
"I hereby declare this my new WiFi! No arguments allowed!"
"Maifu, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you! I'll always be your dog!"
Hmm, Wendy stared at the rapidly flashing comments. There were many things he didn't understand, like what WiFi was and what topical application was. Adhering to the principle of asking questions when he didn't understand, he asked, "What is WiFi? What is topical application?"
How come he recognizes each individual character, but can't understand them when they're put together?
The chat went silent for a second, then was flooded with a string of question marks.
"External application means wife, that is, daughter-in-law!"
"Wife...wife?" Wendy's face flushed red instantly, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Eh? Am I all of you wives? That won't do, I can't be in two places at once. Hmm, but the wind will take care of you all in my place~"
During the conversation, Wendy also gleaned a lot of information, such as that he was representing the Dragon Kingdom in the war, which involved more than a hundred countries. If Wendy failed to protect the Dragon Kingdom's gates, the Dragon Kingdom would be attacked by monsters.
Conversely, if Wendy can quickly defeat the monsters and obtain the generous rewards from the National Fortune Battlefield, then the Dragon Kingdom will grow stronger day by day.
"Is that so? Haha, it's a good thing you're bound to me. If it were the old man next door, who talks about contracts all the time, it would have broken long ago if you didn't have something of equal value to exchange for his protection."
"It's alright, it's just another fight. Don't worry about it, leave it to me." Wendy smiled, picked up her harp, and said, "We still have some time, let me tell you a short story."
