Homeland Security Ministry's Building
"Madame, we have done according to your instruction and posted that video on WeTube." said a man wearing sunglasses even though it was not the morning or afternoon anymore. "But do we need to do this?"
"Of course, we are testing those people, to see if they are into fame and power, whether they will come out for these things or not." Madame Le Pen said. "Then we can deal with them accordingly.", she continued and smiled.

Meanwhile, Sebastian, the agent of the Homeland Security Ministry, hadn't been given any new job. He had to much free time that he decided to help sort out the Ministry's Archive.
(Why do I get myself into this? Clearly I have been affected by my butler's role!) he thought while he was sorting all the files in the archive.
Sometimes, he opened and read one of the files to see what they were about.
"Hmmm...this is a little bit strange to ban such a game." said Sebastian as he read through the articles.
"Mar 23, 2021 - Genshin Impact is the fastest title to hit the $1 billion milestone on the App Store and Google Play, taking just less than six months."
"Mar 24, 2021 - However, the game still needs the Homeland Security's approval before it can be released in country Z."
"April 6, 2021 - The Homeland Security Ministry approved the release of Genshin Impact. The game is schedules to be released in country Z starting from April 28, as miHoYo released 1.5 update."
"April 8, 2021 - Homeland Security Minister Hollbard praised Genshin characters Jean and Ganyu, along with Genshin organizations, the Knights of Favonius and the Liyue Qixing."
"April 9, 2021 - President Dukakis vetoed the approval of Homeland Security Ministry. Genshin Impact will NOT be released in country Z."
"April 17, 2021 - Homeland Security Minister Hollbard stepped down. President Dukakis named Deputy Minister Hebner as the successor."
"Strange...there must be something about that game...Hebner, isn't that Madame Le Pen's immediate predecessor?" Sebastian pondered as he read through the articles.
He then read to the articles which criticized Genshin Impact.
"Diluc - the Dark Night Hero of Mondstadt. Even though his reasons and acts are noble, his actions undermine the law enforcement. His actions may inspire many youths to do the same, thus undermining country Z's law enforcement."
"Jean - the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. Her dedication is praiseworthy. However, how could she be so naive and trust a suspicious alien like the Traveler? She even made him the "Honorary Knight", making him a trusted person in Mondstadt. She should quit because of her unprofessionalism."
"Kaeya - Cavalry Captain of the Knight of Favonius. This guy is shady beyond description, to the point of working with criminals. He will give the people the impression that country Z's law enforcement also does the same."
"Chongyun - What the heck is wrong with this boy? Going around exorcise "evil spirits" like that, he even intervened in some couples' quarrels. He will make our young and innocent children scared of "ghost", which absolutely does NOT exist. No wonder he is usually pranked by his friend, Xingqiu."
"Klee - The Spark Knight. This character is the most frustrating to say about. Just imagine a girl around 10 years old carrying bombs on her and going around, burying them somewhere like they are 'treasures', you will understand me."
"Venti - A drunkard. Trash no. 1 of the society."
"Zhongli - A man who wastes all his money in one go and has others to pay for him. Trash no. 2 of the society."
"Mona - A superstitious woman. Trash no. 3 of the society."
Etc.
As Sebastian read through the articles, he noticed two people he had seen, Klee and Kaeya.
(Well, isn't this interesting? Characters in game appeared in real life.) thought Sebastian, (Hmmm, there's probably something up about this game.)
After finishing sorting the archive, Sebastian walked to the Minister's study.

It was already evening, and Alexy did all the commissions, all of them involved helping his mom in one way or another.

After excusing himself, Alexy returned to his room and locked his door, and entered the system's dimension.
"You can enter here???" Paimon shouted, surprised.
Alexy looked at Paimon with a disapproving face and showed her the button "Enter the system's dimension", which had been turned on.
"I really can't rely on you, Paimon. What use do you have?" said Alexy.
"Outrider Amber reporting for duty! Just say the word if you ever need my help!"
Alexy turned around and saw Klee, Noelle, Kaeya, a red girl and a purple mature woman.
"Hi d-a-r-l-i-n-g!"
"What! What did you just say?" Taken by surprise, Alexy's face became red at Lisa's word.
Seeing Alexy's face becoming red, Lisa chuckled.
"Oh, look at the boss. He is all flustered now." Kaeya also chuckled.

Then the system went on to explain about gliding and library.
"Cool...but today I'm not here because of these...Paimon, you said that I could fight now, right?"
"Ah yeah, the Gacha God installed a guide. Let's watch it!" Paimon said and opened a short video.
"Hello, I'm the Gacha Deity, today I will tell you how to synchronize with your characters and use the power of their Visions." said the black haired young man appearing in the video.
(What is this? A WeTube creator or what!) thought Alexy.
"To begin, you need to make contact with the character's Vision. When the element's symbol lights up, it mean you can use the elemental power of the Vision of that character. However, you will need training from the same character to use the power of that Vision skillfully. Good luck!" said the Gacha God, then the video ended.
(This...isn't this similar to how Aether got different elemental abilities...?) thought Paimon, although on the outside, her face did not express much.
"Huh, wait. That's it! I thought it would be more complicated." said Alexy, "...So that means I need to touch a Vision and then learn how to do it."
"Yep, that's what the guy said." said Paimon, "So who will you choose to learn from first?" she asked.
Alexy turned to the characters he already had.
"Brother Alexy, do you want to make bombs with Klee?"
"I can be a teacher if you need me to be!"
"Are you going to be Lisa's little helper...*chuckle*"
"I'm not sure I'm good at teaching how to use elemental power. However, I'll do my best!"
However, Kaeya did not say anything at all, he did not share the same enthusiasm as the others.
(Hmmm...bomb is too destructive...claymore is too heavy for me to use...I can't aim very well...Lisa is a bit...) Alexy thought.
"Kaeya, I want to study with you!" Alexy turned to Kaeya and said.
Kaeya looked back at Alexy, surprised.
"Uh, Alexy, I don't think Kaeya wants you to touch his Vision and teach you how to use its power." Paimon chimed in.
"Why?"
"Because..."
"It's OK. I'll teach you." said Kaeya.
"Huh, but isn't it..."
But Kaeya raised his hand up, signaling for Paimon to stop talking.
"Shall we begin now?" he asked Alexy.
