Chapter 40 Portrait of a hundred eyes, eye hunting ceremony!
‘Grrrr!!!’
It's just dawn.
The fighting chicken raised by the old man next door crows.
Lu Yuan slowly sat up from the bed.
His eyes were unfocused, and his hair was as messy as a feather duster.
The same goes for Paimon Jr.
The two of them were half-sitting on the bed, looking at something unknown, as if they had been slapped by Master Gu Yi, and their souls and bodies were separated.
According to usual habits, Lu Yuan would not get up after the 'alarm clock' went off.
At most, I need to go to the toilet and then go back to the toilet happily.
But today is different.
In order to complete the task assigned by the Son of God, Lu Yuan had to get up early.
After all, Shenzi only said that he was going to the Seven Heavens Statue in Inazuma Castle, but he didn't say what time he wanted to go.
For a moment, Lu Yuan wanted to just lie back on the bed, get a good sleep first, and put aside all the eye-catching orders.
This feeling reminded Lu Yuan of the days when he used to work.
Every time I wake up early, it is the time when I most want to quit my job.
But to put it bluntly, there is no difference between now and working.
Genshin Impact also has a name, worker simulator.
But in the end, Lu Yuan finally got rid of the warm quilt.
What the Son of God explained is probably related to the Eye Hunting Order.
One wrong step, one wrong step after another, this is a big deal, Lu Yuan understands it clearly.
Get up early. Because he got up early today, he doesn't have enough calories. Lu Yuan doesn't want to cook anymore.
After leaving a note for Xiao Palace, Lu Yuan took little Paimon out.
Lu Yuan found a breakfast shop and sat down.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and it is the same in the world of Genshin Impact.
Even Inazuma, which is not famous for its gourmet food, has a wide variety of food.
"Boss, here are five long steamed buns, four bowls of porridge, two plates of pickles with sea lingzhi and guava, and two Tianyun cherry blossom cakes!"
After having a delicious breakfast, Lu Yuan and Little Paimon regained their energy.
"Hiccup, it's nice to have breakfast outside once in a while."
Little Paimon patted his round belly, looking satisfied.
Lu Yuan nodded, deeply agreeing with this.
Sometimes the food you cook is the most fragrant, but sometimes the food you don't cook is the most fragrant.
Who understands?!
When paying the bill, Lu Yuan took out dozens of moras from the cloth bag in his pocket and paid for the meal.
The source of this money is more complicated.
One part is the pocket money given by the rich woman Xiaogong, the other part is the horse grass given by the Son of God, and the other part is the salary received from the Coral Palace.
Adding up the three aspects, Lu Yuan is now considered to be well-off.
Although there is still a big gap between the savings of hundreds and thousands of moras in the game, but with the hundreds of thousands of moras on hand, there is no problem at all for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But Lu Yuan had just left the breakfast stall when he accidentally overheard the conversation at the next table.
"Have you heard? Something big is going to happen over there at the Seven Heavens Statue today!"
"I heard...what exactly is it?"
"I don't know about this. I just saw that many shogunate troops gathered there today. I don't know what they are busy with."
"Then let's join in the fun after we finish eating..."
"That's right, let's eat quickly and grab a good seat!"
...
...
"Lu Yuan, what is the big thing they are talking about?"
After eating a full meal, Paimon once again regained his usual energy.
Became a Formosa.
But Lu Yuan just shook his head.
How did he know?
But just as those people said just now, I'm afraid something big is really going to happen today.
The closer he got to the Seven Heavens Statue, the more shogunate troops Lu Yuan could see, as well as a lot of people who wanted to find out.
Lu Yuan walked along the road and asked a few passers-by.
But the answer is the same as the two people chatting at the dinner table. They only know a few actions, but don't know what happened specifically.
Shenzi must know... But Lu Yuan also asked last night, but Shenzi didn't tell him.
Seeing is believing.
Lu Yuan put little Paimon in his pocket.
Carrying a floating white-haired pet with you is indeed a bit too ostentatious.
Paimon poked his head out of his pocket like a kitten.
Although the field of view is a bit low, I can still see things clearly and hear what is happening outside.
In this way, Lu Yuan blended into the crowd watching the theater.
Near the statue of the Seven Heavens, crowds of people had gathered in circles, as well as a large number of shogunate troops to maintain order.
This statue of the Seven Heavenly Gods is different from any other statue of the gods on the continent of Teyvat.
The statue is covered with the eyes of God, which is called the Hundred Eyes Statue.
These are not unactivated Eyes of God.
But it was the Eye of God that had been activated by someone and then deprived of it!
Those who are forcibly deprived of the Eye of God may lose their dreams and become crazy.
In severe cases, it will suffer backlash, damage memory, and damage the body.
Looking at this 'unique' God's Eye, Lu Yuan's heart became heavy.
This is why he has been coming to Daozuma for so long, but this is the first time he has seen this hundred-eyed statue.
Not knowing when the so-called 'big event' would begin, Lu Yuan was waiting here quietly.
Without the conspicuous Paimon, Lu Yuan can still better dodge the crowd.
Some people got bored of waiting and found it boring, so they left their seats.
Some people had just gotten up, had a full breakfast, and joined the crowd of spectators.
I don't know how much time has passed.
But suddenly, the number of shogunate troops near the Baiyan Statue began to increase.
coming soon!
Lu Yuan clenched his fists.
Little Paimon, lying in his pocket, said unintentionally:
"Hey, Lu Yuan, there seems to be only one empty groove on the statue."
Lu Yuan trembled suddenly.
Look up at the hundred-eyed statue.
After taking a closer look, I found an empty groove on the top of the Seven Heavens Statue.
Vacant groove!
An electric arc flashed in Lu Yuan's mind.
He remembered something.
There are a hundred grooves in total on this hundred-eyed image!
This seems to be a matter of course, but Lu Yuan had forgotten this before!
He previously thought that these God’s Eyes were drilled and embedded on site!
But the reality is that the holes are drilled in advance!
There is a fundamental difference.
Because Lu Yuan was not busy enough to count the number of divine eyes on the Hundred Eyes Statue at this time.
But if you use subtraction, things are much simpler.
A hundred grooves, only the last one remains!
What does that mean?
The Eye of God that represents the next harvest is the 100th Eye of God!!
Lu Yuan's eyes have straightened.
He had actually predicted yesterday that the 'big event' regarding the Seven Heavenly Gods Statue might be related to the Eye Hunting Ceremony.
But now, the truth is revealed.
Today's big event cannot be compared to a small eye-hunting ceremony.
The so-called ‘big event’ is 90% likely to be the eye hunting ceremony of the 100th Eye of God!
At this point, the groove on the statue will be completely filled.
The successful hunting of the 100th Eye of God will mean that General Thunder’s Eye Hunting Order has achieved initial success!
Before Lu Yuan could continue to think, a burst of noise suddenly came from the distance.
