Chapter 72

After Qin Xiaoyu finished speaking, the audience in the livestream room immediately perked up.

Long before, the official PV had already shown some Liyue-related scenes.

In fact, some visuals of the Liyue region had already appeared.

Except for the floating Qunyu Pavilion and a few distinctive buildings shown in Keqing’s skill demonstration video.

Most of the Liyue map remained unknown.

Players had long been curious and eager about this nation crafted with Xia Gu as its backdrop.

Qin Xiaoyu glanced at the comments on the public screen, said nothing more, and directly played the Liyue region teaser trailer: “A Thousand Rock Cliffs Amidst the Floating World.”

No matter how detailed the description, it could never match the direct impact of visual imagery.

…

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds.

A light rain fell with a gentle patter.

On the evening streets of Mondstadt, due to the weather, the usual bustle had vanished, leaving the streets empty, with dim streetlights flickering on and off.

At that moment, little Klee appeared on screen.

Her short legs sprinted quickly.

She finally stopped under the eaves of the Hunting Deer Restaurant, shook the rain off her body, pulled out a thick book from her arms, and carefully wiped away the water stains.

Seeing this,

most of the livestream audience were stunned.

???

Did they play the wrong PV… wasn’t this supposed to be the Liyue region teaser?

What’s with this random intrusion of Mondstadt and little Klee?

Just as the audience were baffled and about to type comments asking questions, little Klee gently flipped through the book.

Then,

as a cheerful background melody began, a deep, dense bamboo forest appeared before the livestream viewers.

The camera pulled closer and closer.

A close-up shot appeared: Guoba leaning against a stone lion, Xiangling dozing off while hugging Xialie Miechen.

The next second,

Xiangling opened her eyes, patted Guoba, who was still sound asleep, then leapt down from the stone lion.

Her long spear, held in her left hand, spun elegantly behind her back before switching to her right hand.

Immediately, the camera pierced through the bamboo forest, rising higher and higher.

At this point, the scene transitioned naturally.

Paimon and the girl’s figures appeared in a sea of orange-gold ginkgo trees.

As they turned and curiously ran forward, the scene shifted smoothly, revealing the full view of Diyu Island and the surrounding layered mountain peaks to the audience.

In the astonished gazes of the girl and Paimon, the background music gradually slowed, then a flash of white light filled the screen, and the two large characters “Genshin” appeared in the center.

The PV ended right there.

The livestream audience had just seen the full view of one scene, and the next second—it was gone!

Who could take this?

So,

before Qin Xiaoyu could speak, the livestream audience immediately flooded the public chat with furious comments.

“WTF! Damn miHoYo, don’t even care about my traffic—this short PV is trying to fool who?”
