Chapter 1: The Rite of Descension, the Geo Archon tricks me into becoming a national treasure

Liyue.

On Yujing Terrace.

The annual Rite of Descension is currently underway.

The common folk are queuing up below.

On this day when the Geo Archon manifests, they are all accustomed to offering incense and making wishes.

Some hope their families will become a bit wealthier.

Some hope their severely ill family members will recover soon.

At this moment, a handsome silver-haired youth arrives before the incense burner, offers his stick of incense, and makes a wish: "I hope I can harvest countless wives..."

That’s right.

Su Han’s wish is just that simple.

It is just that plain and unadorned.

The wish-making concludes.

He follows the flow of the crowd toward Yujing Terrace.

After constant inquiries, Su Han has confirmed that the Traveler has not yet awakened.

However, he estimates it will be soon.

Because Mondstadt has already been affected by the dragon disaster.

In a few months, the plot will begin.

But... this has nothing to do with him, as Su Han is a temporary employee of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Over this past year.

He has long since become close friends with Zhongli, the kind where they each know the other's identity.

Coming here today is because Zhongli said there would be a gift presented.

Half an hour later.

At the center of the plaza.

Ningguang, dressed in her finest, appears before everyone with two attendants.

"The auspicious hour has arrived. I invite the Geo Archon to descend..."

Under the manipulation of her power.

A golden pillar of light shoots straight into the sky.

The Rite of Descension officially begins.

The sky over Liyue Harbor suddenly churns with wind and clouds.

Subsequently, a massive vortex slowly appears.

People look up toward the sky one after another; within the mist, a giant golden dragon slowly emerges.

Every year, the Geo Archon descends to announce the policy plans for the coming year; for thousands of years, there has never been a mistake.

Liyue has remained stable and prosperous because of this.

Only today, the Geo Archon does not, as usual, directly announce anything regarding commerce or the people's livelihood.

Instead, he slowly lowers his head beneath the clouds.

His golden eyes scan the crowd.

Until he discovers the figure of Su Han, at which point a flash of playfulness flickers in his eyes.

"From today on, I declare that [Su Han] shall become a national treasure of Liyue!!!"

The deafening voice.

Resounds throughout all of Liyue Harbor.

Ningguang is stunned.

The people of Liyue who came to witness the majestic form of the Geo Archon are also stunned.

As for Su Han, he is dumbfounded!

What is going on?

I just came to watch the show, hey! How did I become a national treasure of Liyue?

At this time, people begin to whisper.

"Who is Su Han?"

"I... I've never heard of him..."

"Could it be that some Archon who follows the Geo Archon has awakened? Otherwise, how could he be designated as a national treasure of Liyue!"

"It's possible, but... perhaps this Su Han is an ancient adeptus..."

Just as the crowd is discussing this.

A golden scroll falls from the clouds and hovers before Su Han.

A line of text floats upon it.

【The contract is set; those who break their word shall suffer the wrath of the rock!】

Great.

Su Han feels that he cannot run away now even if he wanted to.

Forced to become a national treasure of Liyue!

At this moment, Ningguang also walks over and asks with a respectful expression: "May I ask if you are Su Han?"

"Yes, that's me."

Things having reached this point, Su Han accepts his fate.

He certainly doesn't want to be suppressed under Guyun Stone Forest by Zhongli's stone spears.

"Hmm, since that is the case, why don't we change locations to discuss this in detail? It is too crowded and noisy here, not suitable for conversation. How about the Jade Chamber?"

"Fine."

People nearby are all looking at him.

Su Han does not want to be treated like a giant panda forever.

Half an hour later.

They arrive at the Jade Chamber.

Ningguang pours him a cup of tea herself. Watching the cold and elegant Tianquan treat him so gently.

Su Han feels that being a national treasure is actually quite nice.

"I wonder which adeptus you are, sir? Or perhaps an Archon who follows the Geo Archon..."

"I am not an adeptus, nor am I an illuminated beast, nor am I an Archon, and I cannot even fight."

"???"

This series of answers leaves the three people present with heads full of question marks.

If you are nothing, then why did you become a national treasure?

Could the Geo Archon have lost his mind? ### CHAPTER 3

Or perhaps the old gentleman didn't wake up properly today.

Keqing asks directly: "Then on what grounds did you become a national treasure? Did you make some contribution to Liyue!"

"None either..." Su Han shakes his head very calmly, then says: "However, I think the reason I could become a national treasure is mostly because I possess a special ability.

Its name is: Heavens Mission Group.

First, those who join the group can chat with others in the group without barriers anytime, anywhere.

At the same time, as long as you complete the missions issued within the group, you can obtain corresponding points.

And points can be used to exchange for treasures in the points shop..."

After hearing his description.

The three are deeply shocked.

In this world, there could actually be such a terrifying ability?

Ganyu reveals a look of admiration and says: "Even my master, Cloud Retainer, does not have such power. It seems Su Han being designated as a national treasure by the Geo Archon is not wrong at all..."

"If one can communicate anytime and anywhere, doesn't that mean as long as we plant eyes in other nations, we can obtain the other party's information at any time?"

"Hmm, that is indeed the case!"

Su Han nods, acknowledging Keqing's perspective.

In reality, this is only the group's basic function. ### CHAPTER 4
