More about Gaming in Genshin Impact

As mentioned earlier, Gaming works as a Transport Guard in the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency. He was born in Qiaoying Village and often travels between Liyue Harbor and Yilong Wharf to deliver cargo shipments and escort merchants. During his free time or when he has nothing urgent to do, he visits the Xinyue Kiosk to eat dim sum, drink tea, and leisurely chat with his friends.

In addition to this, Gaming is the head of a Wushou Dance group called the "Mighty Mythical Beasts." Unfortunately, the dance form is not popular in the Land of Geo, but he dreams of making it a popular art in the Liyue Harbor.
