After the new version's promotional PV finished playing, Elysia was the first to speak: "I like this nun. She's a new 4-star character, right? Rosaria—such a nice name." Ye: "I like her too. Can you give her to me?" Elysia: "No way! All the cute and beautiful girls belong to me!" Ye: "What if you belong to me? Then wouldn't all the cute and beautiful girls who belong to you also belong to me?" Elysia: "Oh? Quite the bold confession. But I don't hate it. If you confess to me in person, and not just your name but your looks match the Supreme Bishop's, I might consider saying yes." Ye: "Never mind then. You're not beautiful enough for me to cross two worlds just to confess." Himeko: "Let's ignore these two who've never even met but are already flirting like crazy. Let's talk about the PV." Ye: "I'm looking forward to Lumine appearing at the end of the PV. I pulled Lumine on my account, but I lost the Abyss Princess Lumine. Having to choose between the two is a bit of a regret." Himeko: "...Please, no spoilers." Elysia: "What's there to spoil? Seeing those feet, you know it's me, right?" Ye: "It's Lumine, not you." Elysia: "It's me, it's me, it's me! After this update with the Hangout Events, I'm going to become Teyvat's number one playboy!" Ye: "You're really underestimating me. Seems like you want to challenge me." Elysia: "Hehehe, then let's livestream and see who can max out Barbara and Noelle's affection the fastest!" Durandal: "Let's save the Hangout Event details for later. Don't spill it now." Himeko: "Let's continue the topic and take a look at the new 4-star character, Rosaria." Durandal and Himeko quickly steered the conversation back on track. Then, Himeko began introducing Rosaria alongside the video, no longer letting the other two derail the discussion. After introducing Rosaria, they moved on to the main storyline boss, the Abyss Herald, and then to the various activities of the Windblume Festival. In short, while Ye and Elysia often veered the conversation into spoiler territory, Himeko and Durandal managed to keep things under control, pulling the discussion back on track. At this point, Fu Xuan was already regretting her decision. Elysia alone was already a headache with her tendency to go off-script, but her style was loved by the audience, so they let her have her fun... Now, with someone who could perfectly match her energy, the conversation was becoming impossible to control! Amid Fu Xuan's regret, Himeko managed to introduce the Hangout Events without too much trouble. Himeko: "Hangout Events are invitations from characters in the game to the players." Himeko: "Many players might be wondering, 'Why hasn't my favorite character appeared yet? When will I see them in the story?'" Himeko: "Hangout Events provide that opportunity. They bring us closer to the characters, allowing us to spend precious time with them." Ye: "Got it. I'm playing a GalGame inside Genshin Impact." Durandal: "...Pretty much, yeah." Himeko: "But it's not just about the girls. There are also boys. The first batch of Hangout Events features Barbara, Noelle, Chongyun, and Bennett—two girls and two boys." Elysia: "Chongyun and Bennett? Who cares! I'm only interested in Barbara and Noelle!" Ye: "Same here." Elysia: "High five... Oh, you're not here." Ye: "It's fine. The sentiment's enough." Himeko, after a moment of silence, chose to ignore them again and continued: "Alright, there's more to Version 1.5. There's also a peculiar creature that traveled all the way from the land of water, only to accidentally cause a major crisis in Mondstadt's wine industry. Supreme Bishop, any thoughts on this creature? It's from Fontaine, after all." Himeko asked with a mischievous grin, thinking it was time to put Ye on the spot after all the chaos he'd caused. "It seems to be an Oceanid. Players should be familiar with it—it's of the same species as Rhodeia." Himeko raised an eyebrow, though it wasn't too surprising. Players would likely remember Rhodeia, as fighting her was a nightmare for under-leveled players. This new creature looked like a smaller version of Rhodeia. So, Himeko continued: "But why would this Oceanid come to Mondstadt?" "Not strange at all. It's probably looking for Rhodeia." Ye replied calmly: "Rhodeia is quite famous among Oceanids. She's the strongest Oceanid. After Lady Furina ascended as the Hydro Archon, Rhodeia, dissatisfied with her, defected from Fontaine and never returned. It's not impossible for an admirer to travel all the way to find her." Himeko: "???" Durandal: "???" Elysia: "???" Fu Xuan: "???" Kiana: "???" "Mei, did you give him the script with this setting?" "No! To prevent leaks, we definitely didn't share that!" "Then how does he know?" "No idea!" As the girls were left baffled, Ye continued speaking. "Oceanids are actually the former Hydro Archon Egeria's familiars. Before Lady Furina ascended as the Hydro Archon, she was also an Oceanid. So, this peculiar creature can be considered Lady Furina's kin. Players should treat her gently." "Stop, stop, stop! Just stop!!" Fu Xuan couldn't help but shout. "Tell Himeko to cut him off and end the livestream! I swear, I'll never invite him to a livestream again!" How much work is he creating for us with just one livestream!? The former Hydro Archon is named Egeria? Don't just decide names we haven't finalized yet! Furina was an Oceanid before becoming a god? Since when!? This is a major livestream disaster! Fu Xuan was filled with regret. This was a version preview livestream. While it's fine to tease players about the story—like calling a tragic event sweet—it's a different matter when it comes to official settings. Once something's said, it's set in stone! Going back on it could lead to backlash from players! If he's so certain the first Hydro Archon is Egeria, then that's the name we'll have to use! If he's so certain Furina was an Oceanid before becoming a god, then that's how it'll have to be! But miHoYo hasn't even decided on these settings yet! This Supreme Bishop's voice actor is just... "He's exactly like I imagined!" Kiana said excitedly. "I was just about to decide on these settings. How does he know?" "??????" Everyone turned to Kiana, their faces full of question marks. Then, in the next moment, everyone suddenly calmed down. Oh, right. We almost forgot. We never expected Genshin Impact to make it to Fontaine without the story collapsing. Now, it's just the voice actor helping Kiana decide a few Fontaine settings. It's no big deal! It's fine. Fontaine's settings are already a mess. It's not like they can get any messier. Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe Kiana can somehow tie all these chaotic settings together. Believe in miracles. With the girls now calm, the livestream gradually came to an end and concluded. Then, the four participants began saying their goodbyes. Although the stream had ended, their microphones were still on. In other words, anything they said now wouldn't be heard by the audience. So, Elysia finally asked the mysterious man who wasn't physically present: "Before we say goodbye, can I ask you one question?" "What is it?" Elysia asked in a very serious tone: "Could it be... that you really are Ye?" "Yes, I am." "I see." Elysia nodded and smiled: "Looking forward to the day we meet."
