Wan Ye turned his head and smiled, "After all that talk, I don't even know your name."
"Ahem, my name is Xavier, and I come from another world. I'm friends with Ayaka and Raiden Shogun."
Hearing this answer, Wan Ye was very surprised, "So, these two have traveled to your world and become your friends?"
"You're so smart, that's exactly right!"
Wan Ye sighed, "I once heard the Traveler say that the world is incredibly vast, but I never imagined such a wonderful journey. Have I really seen too little?"
"If you're interested, you can actually come and see it with me."
"Really? If it's not too much trouble for you, I would indeed like to go and see this unique world."
"Of course it's no trouble at all! Let me tell you, there are so many interesting things on Blue Star..."
Xavier spent the entire journey telling Wan Ye about the unique aspects of Blue Star, and Wan Ye was very interested, listening attentively to Xavier.
Unconsciously, the ship finally reached the port.
After disembarking, they were at a port near Konda Village, and the passengers dispersed in all directions.
"By the way, Wan Ye, I haven't asked you why you came here. Do you have something to do?"
Only after getting off the ship did Xavier remember this rather important question.
Wan Ye shook his head and said, "After all, I am just a wanderer. There is nothing too important for me to do. If I had to say something, it would be to return to Haiqi Island for a trip."
"Haiqi Island?"
"That's right, Gorou might need help, and as a former comrade-in-arms, I need to go back and check on him."
After all, Wan Ye had participated in the war before and formed an alliance with Sangonomiya Kokomi and others.
In such circumstances, it was naturally easy to form deep friendships and become friends with everyone.
He himself had nothing too important to do, occasionally accompanying Beidou to escort goods to prevent encountering dangers and pirates.
Therefore, when he was well-fed and warmly dressed, Wan Ye spent most of his other time wandering, searching for the life he desired.
Xavier stroked his chin and sighed, "Ah, I really envy you."
"There's nothing to envy," Wan Ye shook his head and said, "Although I favor all kinds of scenery, it's inevitable to encounter wind, rain, and unpleasant things during the journey. I don't think most people would live such a life."
"That's still very happy, after all, you found the lifestyle you want. In a place like our Blue Star, most people can't find the true meaning of life."
"Is that so...?" Wan Ye was quite surprised by this. "I thought that in such a good place like Blue Star, everyone would find the life they wanted."
When it came to this, Xavier felt it was too complicated and there was nothing good to say.
Sometimes convenience in life does not necessarily mean happiness, and hardship in life does not equate to spiritual poverty.
Upon learning that Xavier was there to shoot videos and take photos, Wan Ye also developed a strong interest.
Moreover, Xavier had made full preparations this time, carrying a backpack full of photography equipment.
"How about it, isn't my equipment very complete?"
After seeing Xavier's various devices, Wan Ye seemed to be very interested in the art of photography.
"It seems Teyvat's photography technology is still too backward. Your equipment is indeed far superior to any Kamera I've seen before, capable of capturing many beautiful moments that easily fade away."
Xavier felt that Wan Ye was simply a born photographer, possessing such a mindset.
And Xavier had reason to believe that among many characters, Wan Ye's photography aesthetic would definitely be among the highest.
Wandering around and having knowledge, it would be difficult not to have an aesthetic sense.
"You can try it. If you like it, I can give you two cameras!" Xavier was very generous.
Under Xavier's guidance, Wan Ye quickly mastered the basic functions of the camera and started snapping photos of his surroundings.
Fortunately, Xavier had brought enough extra batteries this time, so he wasn't worried about running out of power.
After taking some photos, Xavier realized that Wan Ye indeed had a great talent for it.
With just a little guidance, he was already able to take quite good photos, with both the angles and composition showing a master's touch.
"Not bad, not bad, this cherry blossom tree is very well photographed..."
"Wait, isn't it autumn now? Why are the cherry blossoms still blooming?"
After looking at the pictures Wan Ye took, Xavier was a bit puzzled.
"Because of the influence of the ley lines, some cherry blossoms in Inazuma bloom all four seasons," Wan Ye explained.
Xavier nodded and continued looking at the pictures.
"Hold on, why is there a wooden barrel in this place?"
Xavier thought he had seen it wrong and deliberately looked at it twice more.
He found that there was indeed a wooden barrel placed in the grass, which looked very out of place.
"It is indeed a bit illogical, maybe a passing merchant accidentally dropped it," this was Wan Ye's guess.
With curiosity, the two approached the wooden barrel.
They found that the wooden barrel's position was not the same as before; it had shifted slightly.
"No, this wooden barrel is definitely not simple!" Xavier immediately noticed something was wrong.
Relying on his now stronger abilities, he also sensed a faint element fluctuation.
"Wan Ye, be careful, this is very likely a weapon made by a Kairagi!"
Xavier had Wan Ye step back two paces, then poked it with a nearby branch.
He found that the wooden barrel was actually soft, not wood!
Xavier knew this was definitely not something simple, so he picked up a nearby Shitou and threw it over.
"How annoying! Who's disturbing my sleep~"
The wooden barrel made a sound, and it transformed into the appearance of a Damselette!
Xavier was startled at first, then exclaimed in shock, "Sayu, what are you doing here!"
After all that, it turned out to be Sayu skipping work, no wonder a wooden barrel would appear in such a place.
"You... know me?" Sayu stretched lazily and sized up Xavier.
"Of course I know you! You're that little tanuki who's always lazy and loves to sleep in!"
Sayu was very unhappy to hear Xavier say this, and she clenched her fists and said, "It's a raccoon dog, not a tanuki..."
But halfway through, she realized something was off. Why would this person know her?
And also know that she likes to be lazy and loves to sleep in.
"No, you must be someone Kano Nana sent to catch me!"
"Oh no, gotta run!"
In just the blink of an eye, Sayu actually transformed into her in-game appearance, turning into a rolling wheel and fleeing into the distance.
Xavier stood in the wind, bewildered, thinking he hadn't even said anything yet, and she had already run away.
"Xavier, it seems that sometimes knowing too much about the other person isn't a good thing after all," Wan Ye walked up and added insult to injury.
