Summary
- Genshin Impact's ongoing popularity is due to frequent updates that keep the game's content fresh, and its devoted fan base creates their own replicas of the game's unique characters and weapons.
- A student shared a math exam that references a made-up strategy game called "Ginseng Impactful," which is clearly inspired by Genshin Impact.
- Another hint that the made-up name is derived from Genshin Impact is that the first sentence in the test states that another action-RPG title by the name "Ginseng Impact" was released 3 years ago, which aligns with Genshin's arrival in September 2020.
A student encountered a hilarious and not-so-subtly hidden Genshin Impact reference in their math exam. Since its launch in September 2020, HoYoverse's most popular title has become one of the most popular games in the industry, accumulating tens of millions of monthly players.
One of the reasons behind the game's ongoing popularity is the fact that frequent updates allow HoYoverse to keep the content fresh. Genshin Impact is known for its devoted fan base, which has a reputation for taking inspiration from the game's unique characters and weapons and creating their own replicas.
A Genshin Impact fan has shared a copy of their exam that shows an interesting reference to a strategy game called "Ginseng Impactful" which is oddly similar to HoYoverse's open-world action RPG. Another hint that the made-up name is derived from Genshin Impact is that the first sentence in the test states that another action-RPG title by the name "Ginseng Impact" was released 3 years ago, which aligns with Genshin's arrival in September 2020. Fans seem to like this reference as the post gathered over 2.1k upvotes on the game's main subreddit.
It's not uncommon for fans to encounter events like this one, as a college professor recently revealed a specially designed test with multiple Genshin Impact references. Many fans in the comment section claim that they love to see real-life references that feature some of Teyvat's most popular characters since they allow them to detect their fellow Travelers. The game's popularity has spiked over the last couple of months as HoYoverse introduced the fifth major region to the game.
The Hydro nation known as Fontaine includes tons of new characters, powerful weapons, intriguing storylines, and many more. The ongoing Genshin Impact update 4.2 has introduced two new characters, one of which is Fontaine's Archon Focalors, better known as Lady Furina. She is currently available alongside Baizhu on the Limited Character banner, which also features three four-star units; Charlotte, Beidou, and Collei.
Even before Furina and Charlotte officially joined the live servers, Genshin Impact's official social media accounts revealed two new characters for 4.3, Navia and Chevreuse. Navia is confirmed to be a new Geo character which will make her the first Geo user to arrive on the roster after Yunjin back in update 2.4. While there is no information about her banner placement, Genshin Impact fans can expect version 4.3 to arrive around December 20.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
