Genshin Impact: I Opened Blind Boxes in Liyue

The mornings in Liyue Harbor were always filled with the calls of merchants and the bustling noise of the crowd.

However, today, there was an unusual figure standing at the entrance of the blind box shop.

A mysterious man in a green cloak, carrying a gourd of wine, sauntered in with a carefree demeanor.

"Well, well, what a lively place. I heard the blind boxes here can give you magical treasures?"

His voice was lazy, tinged with a hint of drunkenness, and his lips curled into a casual smile. He looked every bit the wandering bard.

Ling Feng glanced up, raising an eyebrow.

—This guy... isn't he Venti?

But Ling Feng knew better. This laid-back bard wasn't just an ordinary person—he was Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt!

"Welcome," Ling Feng said leisurely. "I didn't expect the winds of Mondstadt to blow all the way to Liyue."

Venti laughed heartily, casually tossing a few Mora onto the counter. "Give me a blind box. I heard these things can give you all sorts of wonderful treasures!"

Ling Feng glanced at the Mora on the table, thinking—Tsk, even as a god, he still pays properly. What a down-to-earth guy.

He lazily handed over a blind box. "Go ahead. Hope you get something interesting."

Venti blinked, reached out, and pulled—

The blind box trembled slightly, then emitted a soft blue light.

In an instant, the entire shop was filled with a gentle surge of Anemo energy.

Ling Feng was slightly taken aback. "This wave... could he really have drawn some kind of Anemo divine skill?"

Venti squinted, curiously examining the item in his hand—

**[Obtained Skill: "True Barbatos Descends"]**

"...Huh?" Venti looked utterly confused. "What's this?"

The system's description promptly appeared—

**[Skill Description: Upon activation, the host will enter the state of the Anemo Archon, exuding an overwhelming divine aura that makes everyone feel the true presence of a god! Duration: 3 hours.]**

Venti: "..."

Ling Feng: "..."

—You, the Anemo Archon, drew a skill that lets you "pretend to be the Anemo Archon"???

Ling Feng's mouth twitched as he suppressed a laugh. "Want to give it a try?"

Venti thought for a moment, then shrugged. "Well... since I drew it, why not?"

As soon as he activated the skill, the Anemo energy in the shop surged wildly, and an indescribable divine aura swept across Liyue Harbor!

A turquoise glow surrounded Venti, his figure seemingly lifted by the power of the wind. His entire presence transformed from that of a carefree drunkard to the majestic Anemo Archon, Barbatos!

Venti raised his hand lightly and spoke in a calm, dignified tone—

"I am Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, descending upon Liyue today."

The crowd outside instantly erupted!

"Wh-what?! The Anemo Archon has come to Liyue?!"

"Is that... Barbatos?! How is this possible?!"

"Quick, inform Lady Ningguang!"

In no time, Liyue's guards, merchants, and passersby all rushed toward the blind box shop, their faces filled with shock and awe.

Meanwhile, Venti... stood in the wind, maintaining his noble and elegant divine posture, but inside, he was laughing hysterically.

—Hahahaha, this skill is hilarious!

—From today onward, the people of Liyue will worship me as their Anemo Archon!

Ling Feng watched the scene unfold, his mouth twitching slightly as he thought to himself:

"This is going to throw Liyue into chaos..."

Within half an hour, Ningguang arrived with the Millelith in tow.

As soon as she saw the "Anemo Archon Descends" spectacle, her eyes turned cold, and her tone carried a hint of wariness. "...Why has the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt suddenly appeared in Liyue?"

Venti's lips curled into a faint smile as he maintained his divine posture, his voice melodious and serene. "The wind knows no bounds. The winds of Liyue and Mondstadt are one and the same."

"Today, I simply followed the wind here."

Ningguang frowned, her instincts telling her something was off.

But the overwhelming Anemo energy in the air... it didn't seem fake.

"...If the Anemo Archon has truly descended upon Liyue, would you be willing to discuss some matters of cooperation with us?"

Venti's mouth twitched, and he inwardly panicked.

—Oh no, negotiating with Ningguang? This is a disaster!

As he was trying to figure out how to weasel his way out of this, Ling Feng quietly handed him a new blind box, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Venti, want to open another one?"

Venti blinked, glanced at Ningguang, then at the fervent crowd around him, and immediately understood.

He pulled out the blind box.

A flash of light, and a new item appeared—

**[Obtained Item: "Anemo Archon Identity Revocation Ticket"]**

Venti: "..."

Ling Feng: "...Pfft, hahahaha!"

—Holy cow, it directly cancels your disguise?!

Venti gritted his teeth and decisively activated the item.

In an instant, the "Anemo Archon aura" around him dissipated completely, and he reverted to his usual carefree bard self.

The crowd around him: "???"

The Millelith: "???"

Ningguang: "..."

The atmosphere was eerily silent.

After a long pause, Paimon couldn't help but whisper, "So... Lord Barbatos, were you just pretending earlier?"

Venti coughed awkwardly, his expression calm. "...Ahem, that's not important. What's important is that the wind in Liyue feels especially nice today."

"Come on, let's have a drink together!"

"..."

"Seize him!" Ningguang ordered.

Venti took off running!

Ling Feng, watching the chaos unfold, couldn't help but laugh as he poured himself a cup of tea, a smug smile on his face.

—"Tsk, today's wind is truly something else."
