Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

Sunday's words made the atmosphere suddenly become a little solemn. Compared with his calm expression, Mr. Shajin's face was as dark as a pool of stagnant water.

"…What if I refuse to answer?"

After a moment's silence, Sha Jin said with a gloomy face.

"Haha!" Upon hearing that, Sunday laughed and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Then you can try and see if [Harmony] will reject you, pathetic Evikin."

Gold Dust: “…”

Hearing this, Shajin fell silent. If it were on another planet, he could still try to collide with Sunday.

But here, this is Pinocchio, the home of the [Tongxie] 'family'. He cannot resist the curse cast by taking advantage of the home advantage on Sunday without the cornerstone in his hands.

““Ask yourself: Do you hold the cornerstone?””

Sunday's words, accompanied by the power of harmony, entered Sha Jin's heart like divine sound.

"Yes." Shajin answered.

"Haha, that's a very concise answer. It seems that Mr. Shajin also understands the principle of talking too much and making mistakes. So what's next..."

"When you entered Pinoconi, no, when you entered the Asdena system, did you carry the cornerstone with you, and then hand it over to the family for management during the entry process?"

"Yes."

"Does the foundation stone you handed over to the family belong to you?"

"Yes."

"Really? Haha, then what's next..."

Having said that, Sunday paused, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"Is your foundation in this room at this moment?"

Gold Dust: “…I don’t know.”

"I do not know what that means?"

Sunday's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of danger in his tone.

"Like I said, I don't know."

Sha Jin's answer was very clear and concise, as if he really knew nothing.

"…A useless trick."

Sunday did not dwell on the issue any further.

"Has your memory been tampered with in any way? I mean anything that could affect your memory."

"No."

"Are you from the Avikin tribe of Tsygannia?"

"Yes..." Shajin seemed a little surprised that the other party would ask this question, but he didn't care too much. After all, he had already pointed out his identity as an Evikin in the previous conversation.

"Do the Avirgin have the ability to affect the memories of others, or do they know how to do so?"

"No, could you please stop asking these useless questions?"

Sha Jin's mood became a little irritable. From the beginning, a strange voice sounded in his mind. The voice kept bewitching him, like the whisper of a devil, like the murmur from the abyss.

Mr. Sunday naturally turned a deaf ear to Sha Jin's protest. In the following time, he raised several questions that seemed to have nothing to do with the negotiations.

Including questions like 'Do you love your family more than yourself? ', 'Have all the Evikins died? ', 'Are you the only survivor? ', etc...

Although Sha Jin was a little annoyed, he still answered the question according to what he knew.

"Well then, Mr. Gold Dust, I have one last question."

"Can you swear here that at this moment, the piece of [Aventurine] that belongs to you is lying safely in this box?"

Sand Jin: "...of course."

After getting Sha Jin's answer, Sunday gently closed his eyes and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Then it looks like we can get the answer."

While speaking, Sunday withdrew the power of [Harmony], and the divine-like echo disappeared in Sha Jin's ears.

In response to this, Sha Jin frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand why Sunday would withdraw this irresistible force, and he didn't understand why he would give up his advantage.

"Open this box, Mr. Gold Dust. This is your last chance to defend your reputation."

"……I see."

Sha Jin took the box containing the cornerstone from Sunday's hand, looked at him deeply, and then opened the box containing the cornerstone in front of him.

The moment the box was opened, Sha Jin thought of various possibilities. He thought that the 'topaz' inside would disappear, and he also thought that it would lie safely inside. Of course, there might also be 'emerald stone' inside.

'However, what really stirred up a storm in his heart was the moment Sha Jin opened the box, what he saw...

At this moment, what lies in the box containing the cornerstone is neither 'Emerald Stone' nor 'Topaz', but it is also not empty.

At this moment, what was stored in the box was the real 'Aventurine', which had been split into two by him before entering Pinoconi and the Asdena galaxy, and mixed into the cheap gemstone 'Aventurine'.

"you……"

Sha Jin's face turned very ugly. This time, his expression was not a disguise, but was indeed gloomy.

This time, participating in the game of the star of the event, Shajin, Feicui, and Topa, the three "Ten Stone Hearts", can be said to have put in enough chips.

In order to get away with it, he even destroyed the real "Aventurine" and broke it into pieces, just to make his plan successful.

But now... all his efforts were in vain. Sunday easily saw through his plan. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had fallen into a deeply passive position in this game. It could even be said that he had already lost.

"call……"

Staring at the cornerstone in the box, Sha Jin took a deep breath and then exhaled forcefully.

"Can you tell me how you figured out my plan?"

Sha Jin held the table with both hands, raised his head, and stared at Sunday from the Oak family who was sitting in the main seat with a calm expression as usual.

"Haha, I have to say, Mr. Shajin, your plan is indeed very good."

Hearing this, Sunday smiled lightly and crossed his legs.

"'Cornerstone' is a treasure of the Strategic Investment Department. For a small game, three of the 'Ten Stone Hearts' actually came out to fight. This is really a big deal."

"Of course, especially you, Mr. Shajin. You are the most courageous person among the three. You smashed the "foundation" and brought in the Pinocchio method. Regardless of whether your plan succeeds in the end, you will be jointly judged by the Strategic Investment Department."

"I admire you, even if you are the enemy of the family."
