When Ji Ming said those words, he had no idea that he had almost never eaten breakfast when he was wandering around.
There is nothing else to it but poverty.
When he was eight, his parents passed away. When he was ten, he co-founded the Nine Gates. When he was sixteen, his sworn brothers were imprisoned, which made Ji Ming, who was already poor, even worse off. From then on, he embarked on a path of no return: extorting other people's gold coins to redeem his own sworn brothers.
Later, he inexplicably became a member of the Celestials, inexplicably boarded the Fatui pirate ship, inexplicably arrived in Mondstadt with an Eye of God, and inexplicably became the focus of attention of three Daedric Lords.
Looking back, Ji Ming realized he was only nineteen years old.
Yes, despite having gone through so many things, Ji Ming remained poor, and he still habitually went out without a purse.
Like a certain guest advisor, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.
Chapter 133 Things in Mondstadt are always so bad
Things in Mondstadt are always so bad.
While they were out for breakfast, Ji Ming and his group ran into the rabbit-eared knight girl on the street and were persuaded to buy them the Wind Wings.
Xiangling wasn't interested in the Wind Wings. Barbara already had Wind Wings, and Ji Ming didn't need them. If he wanted to fly, he could simply take off on the spot with a "whoosh."
Ying was very curious about the Windwing. Just as she was test-flying, the demonized Dvalin broke into the skies above Mondstadt, and many Mondstadt residents scattered and fled.
Yes, just like in popular novels, Luminous was sent high into the sky by a gust of wind, fought Stormterror for three hundred rounds, and successfully drove it away, becoming a great hero who saved Mondstadt.
Barbatos, what kind of monster are you up to now?
Others might not know, but Ji Ming knew very well. He had lived in Mondstadt for quite some time, and apart from seeing the corrupted Dvalin at medium range on the road, he hadn't even seen Dvalin's tail, let alone broken into Mondstadt.
If Venti wanted to, the corrupted Dvalin would definitely not be able to enter the skies above Mondstadt.
In short, Ying became a great hero of Mondstadt, while Ji Ming once again became an easy winner.
In fact, Ji Ming also wanted to show off his skills, such as using the wind to catch up with Dwarlin, grabbing its tail and swinging it like a windmill, and then secretly cutting off a small piece of meat from its tail to take back as ingredients for the little cook.
Mondron is very similar to a large lizard. Lizards can regrow their tails, so it's just a small piece of flesh being cut off from the tail. Ji Ming believes that Dvalin won't mind.
However, Ying has become a great hero of Mondstadt and has also received an invitation from Jean, not a personal invitation, but an official invitation from the entire Knights of Favonius.
The familiar recipe, the familiar taste—it seems Ying is going to be used as a tool.
Seeing that Ying was still unaware of what had happened, Ji Ming naturally wore a gloating expression: "Alright, you should go see Commander Qin now. Captain Kaiya is already urging you."
Ying glanced sideways, noticing a hint of unease in Ji Ming's expression.
Kaiya smiled slightly: "Mr. Ji Ming, the head of the Qin Troupe also invited you."
Ji Ming's mind went on alert: "Why? I haven't accomplished anything this time, so why would Commander Qin invite me?"
To be honest, Ji Ming didn't want to be used as a tool, and even the zither couldn't change his will.
"Hmm... because you are the favored child of the wind god?"
Good grief, so the darling of the wind god has to work for Mondstadt for free?
As the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Jean's most frequent administrative task was dispatching knights to find lost cats and dogs for the residents of Mondstadt. It's hard to imagine whether the people of Mondstadt have become too free.
Ji Ming didn't even dare to imagine that if he became the Wind God one day, he would have to help the residents of Mondstadt find their cats and dogs every day.
Therefore, the idea of working for Fengshen is out of the question, and the idea of doing unpaid work is even more unacceptable.
Seeing Ji Ming's resistant expression, Kaiya used his ultimate move: "Commander Qin said there would be a reward."
"What reward?"
"I don't know, Mr. Ji Ming will find out when he goes there."
You like fishing, right?
Ji Ming turned to Xiang Ling: "Why don't you and Miss Barbara go back first?"
Xiangling shook her head: "No, I'll go with Amin. We agreed to act together in Mondstadt this time. Amin can't run off without me."
"Okay, what about Miss Barbara?"
Barbara thought for a moment and then slowly said, "I still have work to do at the Church of the West Wind, so I won't go with them."
Alright, let's split into two groups.
Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, Ji Ming and his group, led by Kaeya, once again went to the commander's office, where, in addition to Jean, there was another familiar face they hadn't seen in a long time.
It's you, Yae Lisa!
"Little one, are you thinking about something not so good?"
Lisa's eyes were alluring as she quickly fixed her gaze on Ji Ming, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and she smiled seductively: "Could it be that you still can't forget that tingling sensation and want to experience it again?"
Sorry, Ji Ming already has lightning resistance. In his eyes, Lisa's electric shocks are just a bit of fun and not a threat at all.
Ji Ming smiled slightly: "Aunt Lisa, it's been a long time. You still have your charm."
Jean, Amber, and Kaeya, who were listening in, all twitched. This guy was completely merciless with his words, every single one of which was dancing on Lisa's minefield.
With a murderous smile, Lisa's eyes were vacant: "Little one, come to the library sometime. Aunt Lisa wants to see you about something."
Compared to Ji Ming's cheerful mood, Xiang Ling was much more nervous. She quietly tugged at Ying's sleeve and whispered, "Ying, do A-Ming and Miss Lisa have a grudge?"
Ying pondered for a moment: "Is it possible that there was some kind of conflict in bed?"
Xiangling: "?!"
Ji Ming nudged Ying with his elbow, steer the conversation back on track: "So, what brings Commander Qin to our meeting?"
When this matter was mentioned, the acting leader's formulaic smile revealed a hint of helplessness as he explained, "Recently, Stormterror's actions have become increasingly bizarre, even starting to create chaos around the city. Today, it even directly broke into the skies above Mondstadt."
"uh-huh?"
“If the Knights weren’t short-handed, we might not have remained inactive until today. However, the Stormterror has begun to threaten the safety of the city’s residents, and the Knights will not sit idly by.”
"uh-huh?"
"Therefore, I hope that you can assist the Knights of Favonius in carrying out the actual battle plan."
"uh-huh?"
Seeing Ji Ming keep grumbling, even someone as good-natured as Qin couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "Mr. Ji Ming, do you have any questions?"
Ji Ming raised his hand: "Commander Qin, what about the promised reward? Captain Kaiya said that as long as we agree to assist the Zephyr Knights in battle, there will be a reward."
Qin paused for a moment, then chuckled and asked, "Mr. Ji Ming, what kind of reward would you like to receive?"
"Of course you decide. As long as the price is right, I am willing to assist the Knights of Favonius in battle."
Qin really wanted to ask, if there were no reward, would he not have assisted the Knights of Favonius?
The answer is no. Even without a reward, Ji Ming will still assist the Knights of the West in battle, but he will always slack off and only get serious when everyone's lives are threatened.
There was nothing he could do; Ji Ming still preferred to steal other people's gold coins.
Seeing Ji Ming's mercenary expression, Jean quietly glanced in the direction of the Church of the West, coughed a few times, and hinted, "Mondstadt has many treasures. Mr. Ji Ming can choose any one at will."
What's going on? Why is he using his own younger sister as a reward?
Qin, the troupe leader, is really good at this; Ji Ming has already been hooked.
"It would be my pleasure, sir!"
Chapter 134 The Pure Young Man Ji Ming (Total 4000 words)
With a single life, Ji Ming successfully demonstrated what it means to have the ultimate skill and operation in the [Four Winds Guardian] Temple.
Well, Ji Ming didn't even need to do anything. Each temple could be taken down with just a few arrows, each arrow delivering a saturation-force wind attack. The various monsters inside couldn't last a single round against him.
Without any technique or operation, all he looks at is purity. Even the Rock King Emperor, who likes to throw things from high places, would have to call Ji Ming a pure lad.
In the operation planned by Qin, Ji Ming had no intention of hiding his strength. He regarded this operation as a stage to show his power. He did not intend to reveal that he had received special training from Thor, since he also had the identity of a disciple of an immortal to cover it up.
If anyone raises a question, Ji Ming can answer directly: "My master is the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, and my master's friend and superior is the Emperor Yanwang."
Hehe, his senior sister Gan Yu is a half-immortal, his childhood sweetheart's master is an immortal, and the guest of the hall master next door is the Emperor himself.
With so many opportunities to become immortal, how could one not become stronger?
As a result, Ji Ming took on the responsibility of managing four temples by himself. Qin, who had originally planned to divide the work into groups, was quite troubled. In the end, he even overheard the young and beautiful acting group leader muttering a few words in secret.
Of course, some of the knights who stayed in Mondstadt could actually solo the temple, but they might get injured or even die if something went wrong. However, Ji Ming was different; he basically eliminated the monsters as soon as they appeared.
The Mora and ingredients in the treasure chest were divided up by Luminous and Xiangling, Kaeya stayed behind to handle the aftermath, and the others returned to Mondstadt to conduct a post-battle review.
For Jean, there seemed to be no need to review this operation. Ji Ming single-handedly took down four temples, which could be described as phenomenal combat power. I heard that he doesn't hold any official position in Liyue Harbor, so it would be better to leave him in Mondstadt...
"Mr. Ji Ming, thank you for your hard work this time."
At the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, in the Grand Master's office, Qin and Ji Ming sat across from each other at a table. Everyone else had been dismissed to rest, leaving only the two of them.
Ji Ming didn't mind being kept by Qin for a chat. This acting leader was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had a commanding voice. Spending just a short time with her would be a wonderful experience for his eyes and ears.
Yes, both Jean and Miss Barbara are stunning women.
Banishing the impolite thoughts from his mind, Ji Ming smiled without any politeness: "It's not hard work at all. Anyway, Commander Qin will give me a reward, right? I'm really looking forward to it."
Qin's expression immediately changed: "Um... the Knights of Favonius are willing to reward Mr. Ji Ming with 70 million Mora, as well as many jewels and gold. Are you satisfied? If not, Mondstadt officials are willing to grant you the title of Knight, and you can choose the title yourself."
Good heavens, not only are they unwilling to keep their promises, but they even want him to join Mondstadt as a worker! This is absolutely heinous!
