The 'Gift Game' can encompass everything—games, business, festivals, ceremonies, and even contracts. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes, and where there are gods, these disputes are inevitable. There are many ways to resolve conflicts, including violence, deceit, and plunder.
However, the 'main world' prohibits disorderly evil behavior. When neither party is willing to compromise, they can establish their own 'equality' rules and decide the outcome within those 'rules.'
For instance, if there is only a limited amount of 'sacred wine' but many gods wish to drink it, they can compete, and the winner will get the wine. Or perhaps they compete for the right to sell the 'sacred wine' in different countries—businessmen want it, but it's impossible for everyone to have it, so they can hold a 'gift game.'
This is a typical 'Gift Game.'
During celebrations, the organizer can also hold various 'games' and competitions. If you win, you receive 'prizes' from the organizer.
Takumi couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.
"Gift Game... Since communities have formed, the Gift Game should also be established."
In this way, all the gods can become active. It might even be possible to hold a 'Pantheon Ranking Competition' initiated by the 'Supreme God.'
The 'solar authorities' and 'moon authorities' are still vacant, so wouldn't it be interesting to hold ten solar sovereignty wars based on that concept?
The authority of the sun isn't just a 'primary authority'; it also has several secondary authorities. These 'secondary authorities' can be divided into twenty-four parts for the major gods to compete for.
Even the 'secondary authority' wields the power of a 'first-level main god,' and is powerful even among 'first-level main gods.'
After having enough wine and food, Takumi left Wanmin Restaurant feeling satisfied.
Guizhong patted her belly, her cheeks slightly flushed. "The food Xiangling makes is incredible—even Lord Takumi loves it so much.
She truly deserves to be the number one God of Food in the Teyvat universe, even better than those in Olympus."
"The food cooked by Hestia, the goddess of hearth and fire, can't even compare," Guizhong added.
Xiangling scratched her head shyly. "Oh, I'm not that great. I'm just the God of Cookery, after all."
Xianyun nodded in agreement. "Xiangling, you're being humble. Since that person loves your cooking, there is no doubt you're the best God of Food in the universe."
Madame Ping added happily, "That's my disciple. From now on, both Grandma and I will depend on you, Xiangling."
Xiangling couldn't help but smile, "Grandma..."
Xianyun clicked her tongue. "Aping, when will you drop this old lady tone?"
Madame Ping sighed, "I've been used to it for hundreds of years."
After leaving Wanmin Restaurant, Takumi began to add new rules to the 'Cosmic Center.'
He added the rules of the 'Gift Game' to the 'Main World.' For now, it wouldn't apply to the planets of major timelines or parallel worlds.
The 'Gift Game' would only be implemented in the 'Main World.' The national world, being a unique realm, was special in its own way.
After the 'Gift Tournament Rules' took effect, anyone wanting to hold a 'Gift Tournament' would have to apply to the 'Cosmic Center.'
Once a Gift Tournament begins, the 'Cosmic Center' will supervise everything to prevent cheating. If anyone cheats in the Gift Tournament, they will face punishment.
All penalties for cheating in a gift match would be handled with utmost strictness.
[The rules of the Gift Game have been implemented, and all interpretation rights belong to the Supreme God.]
[The rules take effect immediately.]
The 'Cosmic Center' instantly put the 'Gift Game Rules' into effect, covering the 'Main World.'
At the same time, the 'systems' of the 'major pantheons' received notifications.
Mondstadt
Venti: "Hey! 'Gift Game Rules'? What is this? Let me see... Oh my god! You make up your own rules to resolve all disputes?"
Diluc: "These rules... can solve 99% of the world's problems. You could even implement anything through a Gift Game."
Kaeya: "Hey! A Gift Game? How interesting. This rule is really something."
Jean: "Create your own rules of equality and compete!"
Venti: "Hah, a pillow was sent just as I went to sleep. Isn't this convenient for Diona? The Gift Game can solve everything perfectly.
"Winners drink, losers watch. After all, if your skills aren't good enough, you've got nothing to complain about."
The 'Gift Game Rules' are quite simple. Anyone with a bit of intelligence can understand them, and it's immediately clear what they're used for.
Liyue Pantheon
Hu Tao: "Oh~ The Gift Game sounds like so much fun! I want to host one too!"
Yanfei: "How does Hu Tao plan to host it?"
Hu Tao: "I've decided to give away free funeral services three times a year and host a Gift Game where the top three winners will get the quota."
Ningguang: "The kind of ideas you come up with, Hu Tao, are always beyond what ordinary people can imagine."
Keqing: "..."
Ningguang: "This gift rule covers every aspect and is very comprehensive. I hope it shines during the Sea Lantern Festival and the Moon Festival Gift Competition.
"It can even play a huge role in business transactions."
Zhongli: "Indeed... The scope is quite broad. Even competitions between two gods can be covered perfectly. With both parties' consent, we can conduct a Gift Game for 'authority,' artifacts, 'property,' and so on."
Xiao: "..."
Arataki Itto: "What! The Gift Game can even go to this extent?"
Less than a minute after the 'Gift Game Rules' were announced, the major chat groups were already abuzz with discussion.
Even in Mondstadt, they had started playing the Gift Game.
If someone wants to initiate a Gift Game themselves, the rules of the game must be fair to both parties. There must be more than two conditions for winning and losing, and there cannot be contradictory rules or scenarios where a loss is inevitable.
If an 'organizer' sets up the Gift Game, then the 'reputation' of the community is at stake. If the 'reputation' is too poor, the community's qualification as an 'organizer' will be revoked.
This protects the rights of the 'participants.' After all, most participants are weaker. If they win, but the organizer cannot provide the 'prize,' the 'Cosmic Center' will judge the loss of 'honor.'
If the community's 'reputation' is bad enough, it will be forcibly disbanded.
The reputation of the community is also related to its pantheon. If all the communities under a particular 'god line' become notorious, then the 'Cosmic Center' will begin the process to determine if the pantheon should be forcibly disbanded.
There was an uproar in the Lord God chat group.
Certain 'rules' were only known to the Lord Gods. These rules, which only they could see, shocked them to their core.
