[Cheat] Chapter 110: 100,000 Whys
🕑 Added 2025-06-22 19:43:27 +0000 UTC“Let's talk about it later.”
Hu Tao nodded. “Mm! After all, my main objective right now is Mondstadt. Once I establish a branch there and get the business up and running, I'll go to another world and set up a second branch.”
Zephyr broke out in a cold sweat. Wait… Did I forget something?
The twenty-pull wish!
He nearly forgot!
Zephyr opened the wish tab and noticed a new wish had appeared — it was called “World Wish.”
“That’s a pretty impressive name. What kind of wish is this?”
He opened the description and his face fell.
He felt duped.
The World Wish was powerful — but also kind of awful.
Essentially, it was a completely random wish.
Across countless worlds, you might draw a high-tier item… or just a crystal ore.
Completely up to luck!
But there was a slight twist — if you were exceptionally fortunate, you might even draw a 6-star item — or a battleship from another world!
It wasn't a standard 1-5-star wish — it was a 1-6-star wish.
That was pretty impressive.
While Zephyr knew the chance of a 6-star drop was extremely, extremely small, he couldn’t help but feel a rush of temptation.
Fortunately, there was a small conscience to this wish — there were no drops rated lower than 1-star.
He let out a slight sigh of relief.
If he drew something lower than 1-star, he might as well be dead.
He began the draw.
Zephyr chose to omit the dramatic falling-meteor effects from real life, retaining only the in-game draw animation.
Crystal Ore ×1, Crystal Ore ×1, Ganyu’s Signed Private Photo ×1, Crystal Ore ×1, Crystal Ore ×1, Crystal Ore ×1, Clow Card ×1, Crystal Ore ×1, 100,000 Whys Encyclopedia ×1, Crystal Ore ×1.
“What the…!?”
He could appreciate the pile of crystal ore, but Ganyu’s signed private photo?
That was ridiculous!
And it was a 3-star item?
Also, the 100,000 Whys — isn’t that a children’s encyclopedia!?
Zephyr opened it up. Oh, this is actually kind of wild.
“Not a bad deal at all.”
He promptly changed his opinion.
As for the 100,000 Whys, well…
it really was a children’s encyclopedia — but a special item.
Every day, it would pose a question. If the player answered within 30 seconds, they’d be rewarded with 20 Primogems.
Zephyr’s eyes widened. “Whoa!
I’m rich!”
20 Primogems per day — 600 per month — 7,300 per year.
Compared to the game, this might be a drop in the bucket, but for him — someone with no way to earn Primogems — it was an absolute game-changer.
Therefore, the 100,000 Whys was an incredibly valuable item!
“Let's try it out and see what kind of question it asks.”
He clicked “use.”
The 100,000 Whys Q&A began.
Countdown to the first question: What is a meteor?
Zephyr was taken aback. Was a meteor a fallen asteroid?
He knew a meteor fell from the sky, but he couldn’t say much more.
“Is it a fallen asteroid?”
He chose that as his answer.
Time’s up. Incorrect.
Correct answer: A meteor refers to a meteoroid that is captured by Earth's gravity and emits a trail of light due to electron transitions while traversing Earth's atmosphere at high speed.
Most meteoroids disintegrate before reaching the ground. The few that make it to the ground are called meteorites.
Most visible meteoroids weigh less than 1 gram.
The speed at which meteoroids enter the atmosphere ranges from 11 km/s to 72 km/s. The color of each varies depending on its combustion.
Zephyr was exasperated. “Did you really need to be this professional? Did you copy this from Wikipedia? Who could answer something that complex?”
“The answer just needs to be roughly correct.”
“How rough?”
“A meteor is a trail left by a meteoroid as it crosses Earth's atmosphere due to gravity. Note: If it falls to the ground, it's called a meteorite.”
“Alright, you’re a professional. Got it.”
Zephyr was exasperated. This time, he didn’t get a reward, but he hadn’t given up — there’s always tomorrow.
If I can’t answer, I’ll just look it up!
He turned away from the book and turned his attention to the most important item he drew.
It was a 4-star Clow Card. At first, he was excited, but after reading its description, his expression turned a bit strange.
Sweet — Clow Card
Hearts — 10
Symbol: new romance, popularity, dependency
Description: Magic to make food sweet or transform objects into sweets.
Zephyr read it aloud, eyebrows furrowing. “Magic to make food sweet or transform things into sweets… What’s the use of that?”
He turned to Paimon. “Should I make Paimon taste a little sweater… or maybe make Ganyu’s coconut milk even sweater? Oh wait — Ganyu’s in Liyue, I’m in Mondstadt. So what’s the point?!”
Paimon asked, “What kind of good thing did you draw?”
Zephyr sighed. “A magic item that can make you taste a little better.”
“Eh!!??”
Zephyr held up the Clow Card, causing everyone to stare in surprise.
“There’s actually something this magical in the world.”
“To be accurate, this is a card from another world — its name is The Sweet Clow Card.”
Hu Tao was fascinated. “Another world… wait for me!”
“There are 10 pulls left.”
Zephyr fell into a moment of conflict. Should he draw now or wait until later?
At that moment, Paimon suddenly said, “P… P… Paimon want to draw too!”
“You can’t.”
“Aw, Paimon want to draw too.”
A system notification suddenly appeared:
> Paimon is eligible for a free 10-pull — this is a Paimon-exclusive promotion.
“What? This is a thing? Explain — what’s your relationship with the system?”
“The… system?”
“Never mind. Just by looking at you, I know you’re clueless. I'll gift it to you. Say this: ‘I want to do a 10-pull,’ and we’ll go from there. Oh, and I turned off the dramatic animation — the meteors are a bit much.”
“Traveler, you’re so good to me! Okay, Paimon is going to draw! Here we go!!”
Suddenly, ten glittering items appeared in front of Paimon.
A moment later, the glow dissipated, and there was a row of crystal ores on the ground.
Hu Tao giggled. “That’s what you drew?”
Paimon blushed. “Who’s laughing…? Th-There’s a guaranteed item, you know!!”
That last guaranteed item turned out to be… another card.
Zephyr paused. This pattern… he recognized it. Was this Yu-Gi-Oh?
He was a little excited — what kind of good card would Paimon get?
While her luck hadn’t been great, at least there was a guarantee. So it shouldn’t be too bad.
He turned the card over…
It was a deity with a ferocious appearance!
Obelisk the Tormentor!
A 6-star God Card!
