Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 310: Hines: Just having hands is enough

Kavi decisively refused. He would never do such a thing as erasing the efforts of others and enjoying his own success.

Kavi and Falushan were stuck in a stalemate and couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

"You two, why don't you draw lots to decide?"

Hines couldn't bear to see them struggling like this, so he casually proposed a solution that was purely based on luck, but Kavi's expression was a little strange.

"Draw lots..."

Falusan looked at Kavi indifferently.

"I'm fine with that, do you have any questions?"

"No, then let's draw lots."

Kavi, who thought he was always unlucky, chose to accept this solution.

Not surprisingly, his luck was just like the buildings he had died in before, which was consistent with his unlucky personality.

“Oh, this is really…”

Kavi looked at the blank note in his hand and sighed helplessly. It was expected but still a bit of a pity.

After the first round of competition, Elhaisen also announced that the next competition will be held in the desert, and the content of the second round of competition will be announced in Aru Village at that time.

With the next game starting, even if the travel time is deducted, there is still one day left to enjoy the college celebration.

"Hines, come with me for a walk. Ying and Paimon, we'll see you in the desert~"

Egolia pulled Hines and slowly faded out of Ying and Paimon's sight to enjoy this rare leisure time.

"Egolia, where are we going?"

"Don't they say that each college has its own mini-game? Let's go play some!"

"I always feel that you don't care too much about winning or losing the game."

Hines looked at Egolia, who was still happy even though she got zero points in the first round, and shook his head and laughed.

"You can't say that. Winning the competition would be great, but even if you can't, you should still enjoy life. This is a rare festival. If you miss it, you don't know when you can participate again."

The two spent half a day having a good time, and then set off for the desert at a leisurely pace. Before leaving, they had a meal that even Paimon called sumptuous. Of course, this time it was Egolia who paid.

The guests around him stared at Xines with envy and jealousy and disdain.

Ginis: ...I'm really not a gigolo!

Passerby: Bah!

It was already night when the two arrived at the desert. The organizing committee of the event thoughtfully provided accommodation for each contestant, which avoided the embarrassment of Sines taking Egolia to Candice's house to stay overnight.

"The current standings are: Tinari 3 points, Falusan 2 points, Leila 1 point..."

Egolia lay on the bed, counting her fingers, looking like an insomniac counting sheep before going to sleep.

"Don't you care about winning or losing?"

"I don't really care, but I can't be eliminated with zero points. After all, I am carrying the expectations of the scholars of the Causal Theory School."

Hines also noticed that Egolia was feeling a bit pressured. After all, Xumi's competitions seemed a bit strange. In the first round, they were looking for butterflies in the city, so what would they be looking for in the second round?

A desert lizard?

"Alright, alright, get some rest first. You don't want to be dazed attending the competition tomorrow."

Hines put his arms around Egolia and gently patted her, who was also facing him sideways.

Feeling the touch on her back, Egolia silently arched her back towards Sines's arms.

"Goodnight then."

"Good night."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time for the next day's competition. Everyone came to the entrance of Aru Village early to wait for today's competition tasks.

Egolia saw Leila dozing off at a glance.

"You didn't have any rest last night, okay?"

She patted Leila's head gently, scaring her so much that she suddenly lost her sleepiness. She didn't relax until she saw Egolia's face clearly.

"So it's you. Thank you for your concern. I have been suffering from insomnia these days..."

Leila lowered her head and sighed.

"...I kept thinking about the game, and before I knew it, it was already daytime."

Seeing Leila's dark circles becoming increasingly darker, Egolia gently hugged her.

"Okay, okay, it's normal to feel stressed. I believe every contestant carries the academy's expectations, but that doesn't mean it's just pressure. It's also motivation. So, why did you participate in the competition?"

Egolia's question made Leila even more embarrassed. Her reason was simply that she woke up and found that she had become a representative, so she came to participate in the competition.

As for why she wants to be the champion...

She didn't know, she only knew that everyone wanted her to be the champion.

Sensing Leila's confusion, Egolia patted her back gently.

"There's only one champion, but there are six contestants. There's always going to be five who don't win. Speaking of which, you, who already have one point, have a better chance of becoming the champion than I do!"

Egolia's comfort made Leila even more embarrassed, but one of the things Egolia said made a lot of sense, at least that's what Leila thought.

If there is only one champion among 6 people, then 1 of them are not champions...

"Thank you, Egolia..."

Leila's mood was obviously relieved. Egolia's goal was achieved. She just felt sorry for the child who kept putting pressure on her. Even though she was the representative selected by the academy, it did not mean that she had to become the champion.

In Egolia's opinion, as long as she tries her best, isn't the championship just because of the support of other contestants?

At this time, Elhaisen came to the front of the contestants carrying a strange-looking mechanical device.

"Three earth vein disruptors are buried near Aru Village. They can affect the earth veins and disrupt the surrounding environment. The first three people to shut down the devices will receive 4 points, 3 points, and 2 points respectively..."

Hines didn't listen at all to the rules that Elhaisen introduced next. He only knew that the earth vein jammer would disrupt the earth veins, which meant that the earth veins would undergo certain changes.

What are earth veins?

The answer is that the roots of the World Tree are spread all over Teyvat. After nearly a month of constant communication with the World Tree, Sineth's control over the earth veins has more or less improved. Before, he needed the help of the erosion of the abyss to call upon the power of the earth veins.

But now, for a small matter like discovering the inconsistencies in the earth veins, Hines can only say: All you need are hands!

He did what he said. He closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the earth veins under his feet. After a moment, a flat map slowly unfolded in his mind. There were countless golden branches on the map.

Hines knew that these golden branches were earth veins. As he continued to search along the earth veins, a strange "point" finally appeared in his mind.

Become!
