I'm a male god in Liyue

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

"Do you wish to evolve the [Hidden Hat]? This item is a gold item, with a current evolution success rate of 10%, and requires 100 points."

"Yes."

Xia Zhi skillfully performed the operation and successfully evolved after spending 500 points.

The black hat that originally looked quite ordinary has now become somewhat attractive, but that's about it in terms of appearance.

Xia Zhi put it in her inventory and looked at its new attributes.

The Hidden Hat

Quality: Platinum.

Type: Special Equipment.

Characteristics: Secretive, mysterious.

Effect: When wearing this item, one can enter a state of stealth and can simulate any false pressure and aura.

Hidden effect: Anti-divination, and can simulate any false destiny.

Recyclable: 1000 points.

Xia Zhi looked at the item description; it could simulate any kind of pressure and aura...

He thought for a moment and then equipped the [Helmet of Concealment] in his character panel.

Then, Xia Zhi entered stealth mode and tried to activate the [Mysterious] trait.

The next moment, the aura emanating from him became as turbulent and violent as a tsunami.

This is the pressure and aura emanating from Oser.

"That suffocating feeling is exactly the same... but there are no strange phenomena in the sky... it really was just an illusion..."

With a thought, Xia Zhi's violent pressure and aura disappeared, replaced by a gentle and refreshing feeling, like that of a forest.

This is the pressure and aura emanating from my cousin.

"This gentle, refreshing feeling... wait... how come they even simulated my cousin's unique fragrance?..."

Xia Zhi's mind stirred again, and his aura became as ethereal and serene as Zhongli's.

"Next time, I could try going to the opera with Zhongli like this..."

Afterwards, Xia Zhi tried to simulate his own destiny.

Originally, due to the "anti-divination" method, his fate could not be predicted. Now, as his thoughts changed, the divination results changed again and again.

One moment he has the extremely inauspicious fate of being plagued by loneliness and misfortune, and the next he has a fate of being constantly surrounded by women...

In the end, Xia Zhi simulated his own destiny as that of an ordinary person.

In this way, even if someone wants to divine his fate, it won't be a useless divination, but rather an ordinary and unremarkable destiny.

"The hat's new platinum trait has four useful points, but it doesn't seem to be very useful. After all, even if I simulate the same aura of pressure as the other person, it doesn't provide any bonus; it's ultimately fake. It can only be used to scare ordinary people though..."

At this moment, Xia Zhi's expression froze for a moment.

He suddenly remembered the being he had seen in the void at the beginning.

That supreme deity who almost annihilated him with just a casual glance.

If it's His pressure and aura...

Xia Zhi began to recall that scene from back then.

Thanks to his [fixed memory], the slender and beautiful figure of that being reappeared in his mind.

And His eyes, so beautiful and dazzling yet so cold and terrifying, brighter than the sun, purer than the moon, deeper than the stars…

The next instant, Xia Zhi's aura suddenly changed.

Ancient, mysterious, powerful, ruthless...

"This incredible feeling... this is the supreme... it's far superior to diamonds... even though it's fake, if I had revealed this terrifying pressure and aura to Oser back then, it would probably have been so scared that it would have retreated back to the bottom of the sea."

Xia Zhi dissipated his aura, emerging from his concealed state where his presence had vanished.

"This should be the correct way to use [Mystery]. However, it seems this thing can't be used carelessly. Last time I used the mirror, I accidentally glimpsed a taboo related to a certain name, and it shattered immediately. It seems the continent of Teyvat is quite deep. If I release the pressure and aura of the supreme god in a non-concealed state, I might accidentally disturb that forbidden being..."

Xia Zhi shook his head.

Too dangerous.

Forget it, let's not make any big news. Let's just scare the ordinary people.

The next day, in the morning.

Charlotte woke up in Liyue's best inn, looked out at the sea with a smile, and exclaimed, "Fantastic! From now on, I can indulge myself to the fullest with public funds!"

Even so, she still got up very early.

After washing up, Charlotte took her beloved phonograph camera and went to the Liyue Newspaper Office.

She pushed open the door and found that everyone inside was already there.

Good morning, editor-in-chief!

Good morning to you all!

After enjoying the title of editor-in-chief for a moment, Charlotte clapped her hands and began to get into her role.

"Everyone, please introduce yourselves first, and then we'll begin our work for today. We'll try to get the first draft of the newspaper ready tonight!"

"it is good!"

……

evening.

Yuehai Pavilion.

Bai Shi handed a newspaper to Ning Guang.

"Lord Ningguang, this is the final draft sent by the newspaper today. Please review it."

"Oh?"

Ningguang put down her official duties, picked up the newspaper, quickly glanced through it, and a smile appeared on her face.

"For the first newspaper, this quality is not bad, but... never mind, go and call Charlotte here."

"Yes!"

Bai Shi turned and left.

Charlotte was waiting outside the Moon Sea Pavilion when she saw Bai Shi come out and quickly asked, "What does Lady Ningguang think?"

"Lady Ningguang said you did a good job."

"hey-hey."

"However, Lady Ningguang seems to be dissatisfied with something, and she wants you to go in."

"Ah? Oh!"

Charlotte walked into the office, feeling slightly uneasy.

"You came."

"Lady Ningguang, is there anything you find unsatisfactory?"

"This layout."

"typesetting?"

"Hmm, I remember your Steambird Newspaper had a special entertainment section, right? Something like 'Astrology Talk'?"

"Yes."

Why isn't it on this?

"Oh, it's like this. Since this is Liyue Newspaper's first newspaper, we felt it unnecessary to take up space with trivial entertainment information. The entertainment section is only meant to fill in news gaps, and we already have plenty of news today..."

"Your thinking is wrong."

"what?"

"Since it is the first newspaper, it should definitely serve as a standard for all subsequent newspapers. It should have everything it should have and should not have anything it shouldn't have."

"Then, what does Lady Ningguang mean?"

"Naturally, we'll add the entertainment section."

"Ok, I see!"

"Do you really understand?"

"Yes! I'll go back and revise the draft right away!"

"Wait, what news are you planning to put in the entertainment section?"

"Oh! Today I went with the newspaper staff to interview the Chamber of Commerce in Xiao City. We had some interesting observations, and I think..."
