"I don't want to waste my time with you, but don't think I can't do anything to you."
Luo Mu didn't say much. He simply raised his right hand in front of everyone, and then, under the watchful eyes of many people...
"Snapped--"
He snapped his fingers.
"BOOM—!!"
A terrifying bolt of purple lightning suddenly poured down from the crack that appeared abruptly above the man's head. After a burst of violent lightning that made even Ye Lan's heart pound, a large hole pierced through the buildings and led straight to the ground.
Without hesitation, Luo Mu jumped down. Amidst a series of pig-like screams, a moment later, the meticulous man, his face resembling a pig's head and his body charred and filthy, jumped out again, giving Ye Lan a thumbs up and a bright smile on his face.
"Get the job done!"
"…………"
Although Ye Lan knew that she looked very unseemly and unbecoming, she just felt that... closing her mouth seemed a little... difficult.
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 352 Night Orchid's Character Card
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the task!]
Wow, the feeling after the system update is really different! Even this sentence sounds so elegant and refined.
He sighed inwardly.
【Oh dear, I'd be happy if my host likes it~】
Yeah, and it's very straightforward!
In the movie theater, Miss Gui Zhong sat on the sofa, dangling her two fair and alluring bare feet while drinking tea with her eyes closed.
I'm not listening, you're just spouting nonsense!
With a happy smile on his face, Lord Thor continued in his professional Yamato Nadeshiko voice after his delightful declaration of love:
Next, let's talk about the mission rewards.
You have gained 10 attribute points.
[Geo Elemental Essence, please pick it up at the shop.]
[And the character card 'Iwakami Teahouse Major Renovation Project'~]
Wow, it's actually a Geo Essence?
Luo Mu's eyes lit up.
His wind element was activated using wind elemental essence, so in that case—
That's right, after using it, the Geo Essence can unlock Elemental Power (Geo).
This is going to make me unlock all seven elemental powers. Coming to Liyue was definitely worth it. But why do I have to go to the shop to get the quest rewards?
Luo Mu tilted his head.
The original Wind Elemental Essence was given to me by Barbara, right? Ah, could it be from an NPC shop?
[Bingo~ As expected of the host~]
Wow, the system girl seems to really like praising me now; it feels like my image as a well-bred young lady has been upgraded.
Now, well, she's a very well-bred young lady with a big sister vibe!
[I'm so happy to receive such praise from my host!]
Miss Gui Zhong: Have some tea!
In short, please designate one of the doors in your residence as the shop entrance, and then you can enter directly.
Miss Gui Zhong put down her teacup, stood up, and raised her chin.
Heh heh, now it's my turn to perform!
The microphone, which was being used for speaking into the microphone, turned to Miss Guizhong with a mischievous grin and said:
"It'll probably be a while before Mu and the others finish what they're doing and get home. Are you going there now?"
"Can't I make some preparations?"
Miss Gui Zhong put her hands on her hips.
"Sure, sure!"
Zhen smiled and waved her hand, "After all, it's our first time appearing, so of course we need to take it seriously, right?"
"Hmph, let's see if you need to prepare when you go up there later."
Without saying much, Miss Guizhong left behind this arrogant remark and then vanished into scattered specks of light.
"Oh dear, are you in such a hurry?"
Sitting in his seat, Zhen smiled and sighed.
"Actually, we also want to know when we can play."
A pair of girls, one in blue and one in red, raised their hands. The one in red even half-covered her lips with her hand and said teasingly, "I discovered yesterday that Little Gan Yu stayed up late to sneak over and come see me~"
"We have to take it one step at a time."
As she answered, Zhen looked back at the light screen in front of her and used her slender, white fingers to swipe out the content she had prepared.
[Regarding the character card, please complete the first task within 24 hours.]
[The Abyss Cult intended to use the corruption of Minister Yelan as a starting point to control and transform the entire Rock Tea House. Now their plan has been thwarted. In order to prevent the Abyss Cult from discovering anything in the prophecy, this heavy responsibility falls on your shoulders, host!]
That must be a heavy burden!
While Luo Mu was complaining in his heart, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ye Lan, who was leaning against the window, her clothes and hair fluttering in the breeze under the moonlight.
If the Abyss Order were to use this ritual, which he was all too familiar with, to control Yelan and then the entire Rock Tea House, what would the scene look like? Just imagining it makes it feel like a scene straight out of a doujinshi.
The king of nightclubs becomes the top nightclub performer? Night Orchid's pole dancing?
Wow, just thinking about it is so exciting... Uh-oh, that's too much!
"Noelle, heal."
He turned his head and called out.
"Oh!"
Noelle, who had just swept away a large group of foes, looked refreshed and then readily cast a shield on him.
"It wasn't me, it was that guy over there!"
Luo Mu remained silent.
Although he was indeed injured, it should be quite obvious which was more serious compared to Ye Lan's condition, right?
"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, senior. You can take it back if you don't want it!"
Noelle complained as she cast a shield on Night Orchid.
"Tch, I thought you were more concerned about me. You're not happy now."
"You're so annoying, senior!"
Amber, on the other side, approached Yelan and said cheerfully:
"Can you still walk on your own, sir...?"
"Just call me Yelan."
After glancing at the fallen fire mage and martial arts master, Ye Lan straightened up slightly, her gaze finally settling on Luo Mu, who was carrying the meticulous man whose appearance was almost unrecognizable.
"I am truly grateful for your timely support. If it weren't for your prompt assistance, I would probably be considering how to commit suicide to increase my chances of success."
Ye Lan spoke in a joking tone, but inwardly she felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or apprehension).
If things really came to that, suicide would probably be the best outcome. Luo Mu's appearance did make her, who was used to being alone, feel a sense of relief.
And then...
Ye Lan subtly tucked her thighs together and continued speaking to Luo Mu:
"We'd better leave here as soon as possible. Although the ceremony site seems to have been damaged, the lingering atmosphere will still have some impact on people."
For example, she now clearly feels that her legs are weak not just because of the injury.
Perhaps because she had been in the ritual area for too long, her heart was now racing slightly just by looking at Luo Mu.
She can still control things at this point, but it's still a bit embarrassing.
"I'm an expert on this little problem."
Luo Mu looked down at the demonic crystal on his chest.
Hmm, it's glowing, but it doesn't seem to have any other effect?
I guess the ceremony wasn't very high-level or large-scale.
He glanced at Ye Lan across from him again.
Isn't he completely normal? Even with all that charm, it doesn't seem to show up.
I actually thought I looked really cool just now.
With these thoughts in mind, Luo Mu walked towards the window:
"However, at this time, I do really want to go home as soon as possible. I might need to trouble Miss Yelan to make some contact regarding the finishing touches, so—"
Luo Mu easily climbed onto the windowsill, reached out his hand to Ye Lan, who was among the wounded, and smiled.
"Would you like us to give you a ride this time, Miss Yelan?"
Ye Lan originally wanted to go out by herself, but after only a slight attempt, she quietly placed her hand in Luo Mu's hand.
My legs went weak...
"Thank you very much."
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 353 Noelle, you wouldn't want your senior to be flirting with other women, would you?
"call--"
After settling into her seat, Ye Lan finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Today's events were bad enough, even in her long career, and—
She casually placed her hand on her chest.
She was so embarrassed that her heart was pounding just from a man holding her hand. If word got out, she would be incredibly ashamed.
However, after leaving the ceremony, the cool night breeze finally cooled her down considerably, and her condition improved slightly.
Her only hope now is that... someone didn't notice what happened to her just now.
Ye Lan looked at Luo Mu sitting opposite her, whose body was once again occupied by two foxes.
In the past, she would have been quite confident in her ability to disguise herself, but today she had just been seen through and witnessed Luo Mu's amazing performance, so she was now quite uncertain.
...Let's not think about these things anymore.
If you receive help from others, repay them properly; if problems arise at work, handle them well. Life is sometimes that simple.
As for awkwardness or anything like that, worrying about it too much won't make any difference.
After calming herself down, Ye Lan took the initiative to start a conversation with Luo Mu.
"May I ask how you found this place? I remember seeing you at the mall this afternoon... uh, wait a minute."
As Ye Lan said this, her expression suddenly became subtle.
The maintenance worker went to the mall with the team today, and she didn't ask which mall it was. Surely she wouldn't...
Sitting opposite him, Luo Mu shrugged with a relaxed expression.
"We just noticed a guy acting strangely in the mall, so we just followed him."
"After all, we don't have any leads right now, so it's always good to try more."
Ye Lan looked at him strangely.
