Of course, this is on the premise that there is no acceleration from the Abyss.

However, there's no need to talk about this for now, lest it cause Paimon unnecessary anxiety.

"So, our current time and dates are all messed up?"

With the two men's careful explanation, Ms. Yoko finally understood the situation.

Just like one plus one equals three, if your colleague or roommate said that, you would probably just think they were playing a trick on you.

But if it were a world-renowned mathematician, even if you didn't understand those complicated theories, you would probably think that it was mostly your own problem.

“Actually, apart from Paimon and me, it would be difficult for others to notice this problem.” Yin Kong smiled slightly and suggested, “So, Miss Yoko, you can just think of it as a cognitive impairment between the two of us, a disease that prevents us from calculating dates.”

Paimon nodded, tilting his head as he said:

"That makes sense, Traveler. If we're the only two people in the world who think something is wrong, then wouldn't we be the ones with the problem?"

"Of course I believe you."

Ms. Yoko quickly said, but her expression inevitably showed some disappointment.

However, the indomitable idol quickly composed herself:

"You're going to complete the paperwork for the Rabbit House today, right?"

If possible, Ms. Yoko would certainly like to accompany Yin Kong on his mission.

Unfortunately, she will be extremely busy during this period.

Although the murder in the apartment was not reported, the agent's unexpected death was clearly no small matter.

Whether it's sorting out and handing over the work from the other party or choosing a reliable new agent, it's enough to keep this popular idol busy for a while.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably only have the opportunity to meet the two of them in the mornings and evenings in the next week or two.

"This is my bank card. If it's not enough, just call me."

Seeing the bank card handed to him by the idol, Paimon's eyes instantly turned into stars:

"Miss Yoko is so kind!"

She loved the feeling of having someone reimburse her.

Yin Kong, however, looked serious.

Yoko Okino is neither like the young master with ulterior motives, nor is she as wealthy as Ningguang; this trust is heavy enough.

"So, Yin Kong, are you setting off too?"

After Ms. Yoko left the apartment, Paimon looked at Yin Kong with a reluctant expression.

After all, although the monsters and demons in the city have been temporarily cleared out, she still can't openly appear in the public eye.

Yin Kong also assured:

"Don't worry, Zhongli has already come up with a plan, and you'll be able to work with me again soon."

Upon hearing this good news, Paimon was naturally so excited that he jumped for joy:

"Really? That's wonderful! As expected of Zhongli!"

Of course, before setting off, Yin Kong had one extremely important thing to do, which was—

He had already opened the wish interface while talking to Paimon.

【Sea Abyss Boundary Decree】【The Tide of Proclamation - Navelette】.

Chapter 40 Double Purple

Good heavens, it's Lord Vilette! We're saved!

In fact, thanks to the advance payment and the various tasks and achievements from yesterday, Yin Kong has already accumulated six more Entangled Bonds.

Furthermore, since Zhongli took away the guaranteed purple character in a 10-pull, his next pull will at least be a four-star character or weapon.

However, after some deliberation, Yin Kong decided to keep the purple safety net for now.

Because in Zhongli's gacha pool, the three four-star characters who are featured alongside him are Chongyun, Raize, and Xinyan.

Originally, Yin Kong's favorite was naturally the Taoist priest Chongyun, who came from a family of exorcists and possessed a pure yang body.

But now that he has already drawn Zhongli, he can directly ask this Rock King Emperor for guidance on both exorcism techniques and immortal talismans.

Since there are only a few days left in Zhongli's gacha pool anyway, I might as well save this purple guaranteed pull for a character I like better.

Yin Kong hadn't expected that the chaos of the dates would even affect his card pool arrangements.

In this case, it will be difficult for him to make any long-term plans for gacha pulls in the future.

However, there is also a chance to draw those powerful characters in advance, just like Navelette at this moment.

If Zhongli is the strongest shield in Genshin Impact and a veritable breeding ground for useless characters in Teyvat, then Vilette is the strongest spear.

Although times have changed and the strongest spear has now fallen on the head of Vulcan Mavica, Navelette can still be considered the most comfortable wheelchair-bound character.

At the same time, as the water elemental dragon king and god of life of Teyvat, he is absolutely worthy of Yin Kong's investment of a gold.

Of course, any normal person knows that the possibility of getting a cash advance is already very low, let alone getting a cash advance.

But what if?

People tend to have a sense of wishful thinking, and Yin Kong felt that if he didn't give it a try, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly in bed tonight.

Consider it a filler card pool.

In any case, Yin Kong successfully convinced himself.

Under Paimon's strange gaze, he first brought Zhongli out from backstage, and then asked the Rock King to sculpt a golden Meloshen statue using Mora before calming his mind and focusing his attention—

However, miracles obviously don't happen so easily.

A purple meteor fell from the sky, eventually transforming into a petite human figure.

"I am the Princess of Judgment, my real name is Fischl, and I have been summoned here by destiny—wait, traveler, Paimon?"

"Hi, Fischl."

Paimon was clearly delighted to see his familiar old friend and waved warmly.

Fischl, who had been a little nervous, suddenly burst into his familiar laughter:

"So that's how it is, hehehe... I was right after all. Only you, the person I trust most to bless, and my dearest friend whose destiny and soul resonate with mine, could cross the barriers of three thousand worlds to extend an invitation to me."

Oz translated:

"What the young lady means is that she is very happy to meet you two. She feels very at ease to meet you in this unfamiliar place."

“So Fischl gets nervous in a strange world too,” Paimon said, suddenly realizing. “Don’t worry, this world is a bit strange, but overall it’s pretty safe…right?”

Thinking of the "Changing Witch" who had chased him all the way to his apartment not long ago, Paimon's tone became somewhat uncertain again.

After explaining Fischl's recent situation, Yin Kong started drawing cards again.

【Flying Sword】, 【Jade Orb】, 【Tales of Dragon-Slaying Heroes】, 【Persuading with Reason】...

However, the miracle that Yin Kong had hoped for did not happen until the last pink ball disappeared.

However, another purple meteor fell.

"Hello, I am Hisaki Shinobu, the second-in-command of the Araki Faction, and I handle a variety of businesses..."

To Ling Yin Kong's surprise, the four-star character he drew this time was not one of the three four-star characters featured in the current event, but rather Kuki Shinobu dressed as a ninja.

"It's actually Shinobu?" Paimon said worriedly after thinking it over carefully. "Oh my god, if Shinobu isn't here, won't the cowherd starve to death on the street tomorrow?"

Yin Kong looked surprised:

"Paimon, did you just discover this problem?"

He thought the little guy had already guessed the answer to the question.

After all, although Zhongli has relinquished his divine position, if he were to suddenly disappear without warning, it would certainly cause a huge uproar in Liyue.

This time, he didn't need to say anything; Hisaki Shinobu had already taken the initiative to explain:

“Don’t worry, Paimon. Our departure will not throw Teyvat into chaos, because we are just a moment in the original body.”

Paimon scratched his little head, looking confused, and said:

"What does 'at a certain moment' mean?"

Hisaki patiently explained:

"To be honest, I don't really understand it either, but that's what the knowledge in my mind tells me—a moment in my own life."

But I guess it means that no matter how long we spend here, when we return to Teyvat, it will only have been a fleeting moment there?

"I see, now I understand. As expected of A-Rin, you're very reliable; you figured out the situation right away."

On the other hand, Yin Kong could sense that Fischl, the princess of judgment, was still quite confused and probably hadn't fully grasped the current situation.

Fortunately, Fischl has a very reliable Oz.

"Although it's a bit of a shame that we didn't get two gold medals, it's still pretty good that we managed to put together a four-person team."

At least they're not "heartbreaking" or "sword-wielding" characters; both Shinobu Hisaki and Amy are actually four-star characters well worth developing.

Of course, Paimon was still very disappointed:

"It's a pity that even with so many people, I can only talk to one of you at a time... Oh, if only one of you could stay and play with me."

Currently, Yin Kong can only bring these drawn characters into the real world by having them join his team, so they can only act with him.

Moreover, there can only be one role on the front stage at any given time.

Such a mechanism might be harmless in a game, but it would be extremely inconvenient in the real world.

"Don't worry, Paimon, we'll find a way soon."

This was the only way Yin Kong could offer comfort.

According to Zhongli, as long as they can find suitable materials to make the Dust Song Pot, these characters should be able to gain some independent action capabilities.

The exploration dispatches from Catherine might also unlock similar effects.

After giving Paimon a few more instructions, Yin Kong left with the three "back spirits".

His first stop today was the apartment building's property management office.

Chapter 41: Strength, speed, double A, weak woman

"Mr. Yin Kong, are you sure you want to pay the entire year's rent in one go, in addition to the deposit?" The building manager was quite surprised to hear Yin Kong's request and reminded him, "Actually, according to our usual practice, the rent here only needs to be paid every three months."

He'd seen many tenants requesting grace periods due to financial constraints, but this was the first time in all his years that someone had proactively asked to pay extra in advance.

Yin Kong nodded and said seriously:

"I'm sure, I'm the kind of person who hates trouble."

"Alright, since you insist."

Having received the key, Yin Kong immediately took out the recruitment advertisement he had prepared and posted it at the entrance of the firm.

Since Conan has been diligently attending Teitan Elementary School in first grade after countless Valentine's Days and Christmases, I shouldn't have to worry about rent or other issues for the foreseeable future, right?

After posting recruitment advertisements at the entrance of the firm and preparing proof of funds and premises, Yin Kong immediately went to the municipal center to process various certificates.

This time, however, the efficiency was extremely low.

Originally, even if Yin Kong met all the requirements, it would still take at least one or two weeks of procedures.

Fortunately, he had already taken care of the most troublesome matters beforehand.

Even so, it was already past 3 p.m. when he finally received the business license.

"Wow, aren't the humans in this world too troublesome?"

Fischl, who had been staying backstage the whole time, felt so bored that he was practically growing mushrooms.

In Mondstadt, her joining the Adventurers' Guild was incredibly simple, without any of the complicated procedures.

"There's nothing we can do about it. I actually think the situation here is already pretty good."

Hisaki Shinobu, however, was already used to it.
