Genshin Impact: I Opened Blind Boxes in Liyue

On a sunny afternoon in Mondstadt, sunlight streamed through the windows of the blind box shop, casting a warm glow on the wooden counter. The air was filled with the faint aroma of tea as Ling Feng leisurely organized a new batch of blind boxes. Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps approached the door.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ling~" Lisa's慵懒 voice drifted in from the entrance. She was dressed in her signature purple mage robes, holding a thick ancient tome in her hands, her face adorned with her usual charming smile.

"Miss Lisa, welcome!" Ling Feng greeted her with a smile. "What brings you to my humble shop today?"

Lisa walked up to the counter and gently placed her book down. "I heard your blind boxes contain all sorts of interesting things. Even Kaeya managed to pull out a black dragon. As Mondstadt's librarian, how could I miss such a 'research' opportunity?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. "Research? Are you here to study the mechanics of the blind boxes, or to experience the thrill of opening one?"

Lisa blinked, a sly smile playing on her lips. "A bit of both, perhaps. But I'm more interested in whether I can find some rare magic books in them."

Ling Feng's mind buzzed as the system's voice chimed in: *"Ding! High magical energy detected. Recommend deploying the 'Magic Book Blind Box' series."*

He reached under the counter and pulled out a purple blind box adorned with intricate magical runes, emitting a faint glow.

"This is the 'Magic Book Blind Box,' specially designed for mages like you, Miss Lisa," Ling Feng said, handing her the box. "Care to give it a try?"

Lisa took the box, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Oh? A blind box tailored for mages? How thoughtful of you, Mr. Ling."

She gently opened the box, and a burst of purple light erupted, illuminating the entire shop. As the light faded, an ancient magic book lay inside.

The cover was inscribed with golden runes: *"Forbidden Grimoire: The Secrets of Elemental Origins."*

Lisa's pupils contracted slightly as her fingers traced the spine of the book. "This is... the legendary *Forbidden Grimoire*? It's said to contain the oldest elemental magic in Teyvat, even touching on the secrets of the 'Primordial One.'"

Ling Feng was also surprised. He hadn't expected Lisa to have such incredible luck, pulling out a book of this caliber.

"Congratulations, Miss Lisa. It seems your luck is quite exceptional," Ling Feng said with a smile.

Lisa flipped through the pages, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "This is incredible! The content in this book is far more profound than any magic I've studied before. Mr. Ling, your blind boxes never cease to amaze."

Ling Feng waved his hand modestly. "Just luck. But Miss Lisa, the contents of this book might be dangerous. I recommend caution while studying it."

Lisa closed the book and smiled. "Don't worry. I'm one of Mondstadt's finest mages. But Mr. Ling, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"How does your blind box contain a book of this level? Even Mondstadt's library doesn't have records of such texts," Lisa's gaze sharpened.

Ling Feng felt a pang of tension but maintained his smile. "Well, the origins of the blind boxes are a bit of a mystery to me. Perhaps it's the work of some mysterious force."

Lisa stared at him for a few seconds before chuckling softly. "Fine, if you don't want to say, I won't press. But Mr. Ling, your blind box shop is truly enigmatic."

Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, *"Lisa is as sharp as ever. I need to be more careful."*

Lisa tucked the magic book away and pulled out a pouch of Mora. "Mr. Ling, I'll take another blind box. Your shop has piqued my interest even more."

Ling Feng accepted the Mora and handed her a blue blind box. "This is the 'Random Magic Item Blind Box.' You might find some interesting magical artifacts inside."

Lisa took the box and opened it gently. This time, a small crystal ball appeared, its interior shimmering with starlight.

"Is this... a divination crystal ball?" Lisa picked up the crystal ball, examining it closely.

The system's voice chimed in again: *"Ding! Lisa has obtained the 'Stellar Divination Crystal Ball,' capable of glimpsing fragments of the future."*

Ling Feng explained, "This is the 'Stellar Divination Crystal Ball.' It's said to allow the user to see glimpses of the future. However, its uses are limited, and the visions may be somewhat vague."

Lisa's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Divination magic? That's an incredibly rare field. Mr. Ling, your blind boxes truly have everything."

She held the crystal ball in her hands, closed her eyes, and attempted to activate its power. The light within the ball grew brighter, and a blurry image began to form.

In the vision, Mondstadt was shrouded in a dark force, with countless monsters swirling in the sky. The Knights of Favonius were fighting valiantly but seemed to be struggling.

Lisa's eyes snapped open, her expression grave. "Is this... the future of Mondstadt?"

Ling Feng also saw the vision and felt a pang of unease. *"Could Mondstadt face a crisis in the future?"*

Lisa put the crystal ball away and took a deep breath. "Mr. Ling, it seems I have some urgent research to do. Today's blind box experience was quite fascinating. Thank you for your hospitality."

Ling Feng nodded. "You're welcome, Miss Lisa. Feel free to come back anytime."

With a faint smile, Lisa turned and left the shop, her steps hurried as if spurred by the vision she had seen.

Ling Feng watched her leave, deep in thought. *"It seems the influence of the blind boxes is starting to alter the future of Teyvat. I need to be careful not to let things spiral out of control."*

After leaving the shop, Lisa headed straight to the Mondstadt library. She placed the *Forbidden Grimoire* and the divination crystal ball on her desk and began her research.

"The contents of this book... are truly extraordinary," Lisa murmured as she flipped through the pages, her eyes alight with excitement. She discovered that the book not only delved into the advanced applications of elemental magic but also touched on the secrets of the "Primordial One" and the "World Tree."

"If these contents are true, then Teyvat's history might be far more complex than we imagined," Lisa muttered to herself.

She picked up the crystal ball and attempted to activate it again. The light within flickered, and the vision grew clearer. This time, she saw more details: Mondstadt's walls were being eroded by dark energy, the statue of the Anemo Archon was shrouded in black mist, and the Knights of Favonius were struggling to hold their ground.

"I need to inform Acting Grand Master Jean immediately," Lisa said, standing up and hurrying out of the library.

Meanwhile, back at the blind box shop, Ling Feng was deep in thought. He realized that the influence of the blind boxes was expanding, potentially altering the future of Teyvat.

"System, could the contents of these blind boxes cause irreversible changes to Teyvat?" Ling Feng asked internally.

The system's voice responded, *"Host, rest assured. The contents of the blind boxes are carefully curated and will not disrupt Teyvat's balance. However, your actions may trigger chain reactions. Proceed with caution."*

Ling Feng sighed. *"It seems I need to be even more careful."*
