After all, Yilan had already been a fan of idols for ten years before he traveled through time. He had been following the "LoveLive" project from the very beginning.
Although the recent second issue of Star Cluster gave him a hard blow.
In short, even if his understanding of the concept of two-dimensional idols wasn't as deep as those of senior industry insiders, it was still much better than anyone else on the continent of Teyvat.
After chatting with Barbara about the general idea, the girl was excited by Yilan's insights, which were far ahead of their time. However, Yilan was still thinking about the ongoing life simulation, so after agreeing to go shopping together tomorrow, they parted ways.
Let's get back to the topic and return to the life simulation.
[On the 54th day, you absorbed the demon residue and toxins in the bodies of the monsters. Monsters like slimes and lizards became edible. The food stocks that were originally stretched to the limit suddenly became abundant. You gained a lot of reputation among the people, and all the immortals admired you greatly.]
[But you know very well that this is not without cost. Just like if the human body only ingests a small amount of toxins, it can be excreted through normal metabolism, but if a large amount of toxins is ingested in a short period of time, there is only one way out—death.]
But you didn't tell anyone this information.
[Day 55. With sufficient food, everyone's physical strength naturally increased. The speed of travel nearly doubled. At this rate, you would be able to arrive at Liyue Port smoothly in about ten days.]
[On the 58th day, you knew very well that when you began to absorb the filth in the monsters' bodies, your life had already entered a countdown. So you simply stopped holding back and purified a large number of monsters every day, allowing people to have three meals a day, each meal with meat. With their physical energy restored, the people could naturally travel at the fastest speed.]
[Seven days… Just hold on for another seven days. You told yourself over and over that the length of life was not important. The key was to achieve something. As long as all the people of Liyue could be safely relocated to Liyue Harbor, as long as Ganyu's wish could be fulfilled, you would have realized your own value.]
[As for death, you were not afraid.]
[On the 60th day, thanks to the efforts of you, Ganyu, Morax, and others, you once again repelled the demon followers who came to harass you.]
[After repelling the demon's followers, the weather cleared up for a rare day. In the afternoon, you went to purify food as usual. The consequences of frequently pushing your body finally appeared at this moment. In a burst of severe pain, you fainted.]
[Entering somatosensory mode]
"..."
An endless feeling of falling came over him, and when Yilan opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the same tent.
However, the feeling under his head was not the roughness of a straw pillow, but a silky, elastic, and soft touch.
When he looked up, he saw Ganyu's pretty face—elegant and beautiful like an immortal.
On her chest hung the bell pendant he had given her. Her little head was dozing off, and the bell was swinging back and forth, making the girl even more adorable.
"It's a knee pillow."
Yilan looked at the reckless girl with some amusement. She was clearly providing him with lap pillow service but had fallen asleep herself. He wanted to give her a brain-destroying flick, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain coming from his body.
"Has the demonic filth already corroded this body to this extent?"
Absorbing demonic filth was a unique ability of Yilan's body, and it was indeed as he had told Ganyu the first time—he could purify the demon filth absorbed into his body.
But the premise was not to inhale too much.
It's like how humans can excrete traces of toxins through the metabolism, but if a large amount is ingested at once, the only result is death.
When Yilan decided to absorb the demonic filth in the food, his life had already entered a countdown. The only difference was how long he could live.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Ganyu's eyelashes, as light as cicada wings, trembled slightly. Her large cyan eyes, still filled with mist, slowly opened. So he spoke:
"Are you awake?"
"Mm… good morning, Yilan."
Ganyu still a little confused, gently rubbed her eyes with her small hands. Her movements were very cute. But the next moment, the ahoge on her head suddenly stood up.
"No! It's not morning yet, it's almost dark!"
"Yeah, I've been waiting for you a whole day." Yilan pretended to sigh. "You finally woke up little girl, you really can sleep."
Yilan's move immediately flustered the confused girl who had just woken up.
"Eh… Eh… Eh? Sorry… Um… Did I really sleep for a long time just now?"
But she soon noticed Yilan's smirk and reacted immediately, clenching her fists.
"Yilan, you're teasing me again!"
"It's your fault, Ganyu. You were taking care of me, but you fell asleep."
When it came to talking, Yilan was certainly not inferior to Ganyu. After hearing his words, the weak girl lowered her head pitifully, and even her ahoge drooped listlessly.
"I'm sorry…"
"It's okay, I forgive you!" Yilan said generously.
Ganyu couldn't help but clench her fists again.
So angry!
It was obvious that she was being fooled, but still had to apologize!
And that guy Yilan actually acted like he had gained something and was still ungrateful. She really want to punch him in the chest!
But just as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly remembered that Yilan was still sick.
"By the way, are you okay?" Ganyu asked with a worried look. "You fainted suddenly at that time, and we were all scared."
"It's okay, I just fainted from overexerting myself. I'll be fine after a rest."
Yilan brushed off the topic lightly.
"By the way, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It wasn't long. Only one hour!"
Just then, a crane-like creature came in, carrying a bowl of steaming medicinal soup on her wings.
"The medicine soup is here… huh?"
Seeing Yilan open his eyes, Xianhe—also known as Master Liuyun Jiefeng—breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yilan, you finally woke up. We were so worried, especially Ganyu. She stayed by your side for a whole day and night without moving."
"Um?"
Yilan looked at Ganyu, whose face suddenly turned red, and then at Master Liuyun Jiefeng.
"You mean, Ganyu has been guarding me here for a whole day? Why didn't you let her go rest?"
"How could we persuade her?"
Master Liuyun Jiefeng said helplessly, "She said she has the ability to heal, so she would stay by your side to heal you…She hasn't even gotten married yet, and she already doesn't listen to me…"
"Master!" Ganyu interrupted with some shame and anger.
"Huh? Why are you glaring at me? I didn't say anything wrong. Everyone in Liyue knows you like Yilan. By the way, when are you getting married? Ganyu, I raised you since you were a child. I'm like your parent. When you get married, you'll serve me tea…"
"Whoosh!"
Ganyu shyly shot an ice arrow, and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun flapped her wings in panic to avoid it, speaking angrily:
"You brat, I clearly raised you, but you didn't inherit my outstanding eloquence. Instead, you learned to use your hands. Uh… Never mind, I won't say anything."
"Anyway, Yilan, get well soon. I have something to tell you. The people of Liyue and the immortals have prepared a surprise for you. As for what the surprise is, you'll know when you return to Liyue Harbor."
Seeing that Ganyu was about to go berserk, Master Liuyun Jiefeng didn't dare say anything more. After putting down the medicine bowl, she lifted the curtain and left.
When she left, she was still muttering things like "Why is she angry?" and "There's absolutely nothing wrong with my speaking skills."
After driving away her master, Ganyu turned her head anxiously and embarrassedly, wanting to explain something to Yilan. But she saw Yilan looking at her barely withholding his laughter.
