Their commission was suspicious.

"How can you blame me? Why wouldn't I sleep? I'm just trying to save energy, that's just my habit." But the Book of Cangxuan has its own set of theories.

"Sigh, back in the day, Fu... Hua? Is that what I called you? In ancient times, we were chivalrous and fought against monsters, having a great time. Unfortunately, I sensed that my energy was running out, so I could only reduce energy consumption by eating more and sleeping more. That's how I developed this habit. It may only take a while to form a habit, or even a few weeks, but it may take many, many years to break it."

"So for Chi Yuan's sake, you shouldn't keep bringing up my laziness," Cang Xuan Zhi Shu said righteously.

"You really know how to make excuses for yourself. Anyway, Alo, what are you doing this afternoon? Do you have any plans?" the Herald of Knowledge asked.

"I have plans to go to Changkong City," Chen Luo said.

What are you going to Changkong City for?

"I plan to test the power of my modified Explosion Master skills. After all, there aren't many survivors left in Changkong City, so it's a good place for the experiment. Or, I could find a place in Mondstadt on the Teyvat continent, but the problem is..."

"Huh? Chen Luo, what did you say?" Qin, who was having afternoon tea nearby, keenly heard the word Mondstadt.

“See, this is the problem.” Chen Luo shrugged.

This was the biggest problem Chen Luo faced when conducting his experiments in Mondstadt—Jane, or rather, the Knights of Mondstadt.

Chen Luo was learning how to make bombs from Klee, and Jean already knew that Chen Luo was a genius. So if a violent explosion occurred in Mondstadt, the first person to suspect would definitely be Klee, and the second would be Chen Luo.

So, the uninhabited areas like Changkong City are still more appealing.

"It's nothing." Chen Luo shook his head at the ensemble leader.

"Of course, besides the experiments, there are some other things to do this afternoon, which is to get my life back to normal. After all, those people who are monitoring me are really troublesome. I used to go out and do good deeds every day, but now I'm suddenly not doing them, which arouses suspicion. And it's really strange for me to not leave the house for several days in a row," Chen Luo explained.

"Suspicious? Oh, you mean the neighbor of your neighbor's neighbor who started spying on you yesterday afternoon?" The Lawbringer suddenly realized.

"You knew? Then why didn't you deal with it sooner?" Chen Luo's tone became much louder.

"It's been dealt with. I've already used my authority to prevent the other party from reporting certain anomalies. Otherwise, why do you think the abnormal lighting in other rooms didn't raise any suspicion?" said the Herald of Knowledge.

"Oh, I see. So you've already modified her consciousness. That explains why she was so easily manipulated into having multiple layers of illusions constructed around her." Chen Luo suddenly realized.

The more a person is affected by the Herrscher of Knowledge's abilities, the more likely they are to fall into the illusions of the Herrscher of Knowledge's users.

"So how do you plan to dispel any doubts?"

"Of course, it's going out to treat someone to a meal, or being treated to a meal, or helping an old lady cross the street, or something like that, you have to go out somewhere," Chen Luo said.

"Besides, it's been a while since I've had dinner with Liu Wenxuan. This is a good opportunity to talk more about the underworld. You know, Xiao Shi, as a demon, you know so little about the underworld. If I were you, I would go and find those people in the underworld to devour their negative emotions and copy their memories," Chen Luo said.

"Ha, you're just talking without understanding the situation. There aren't that many people in the underworld, and those people are all very vigilant. I'm just trying not to alert them." The Herrscher of Knowledge's face visibly puffed up.

"So I have to try and get some information out of them. If possible, I'd like to stay in this world and be a student. After the summer vacation, I'll study hard and improve every day, then go to university and try to become an archaeologist and travel around every day."

"But I always felt that after killing Yvette, the atmosphere in the whole city became a bit heavy. At least, even someone like me, who is unlikely to be a suspect, is being watched by quite a few people."

"Xiao Shi, do you think we've misunderstood the importance of S-level talents in this world?" Chen Luo said with some emotion.

"The importance of S-class talents? Aren't S-class talents everywhere?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't even mention S-class talents, there are SS-class talents too, right? Is it really necessary to be so nervous about the death of an S-class talent?" The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't understand, the Herrscher of Knowledge was very confused.

At least in the eyes of the Herrscher of Knowledge, the people around him are generally at least A-level talents, with S-level talents as the minimum.

Just like Qin and Lisa sitting next to them, although they are not gifted individuals, their divine eyes and their own strength are enough to easily defeat ordinary, undeveloped A-level gifted individuals.

perhaps…

At least beating Xiao Ke'er is no problem at all.

After all, Captain Jean is a powerful, all-around warrior who was promoted to acting captain in the eyes of many gods, and Lisa is a genius that the Sumeru Cult Academy has seen once in a hundred years. She can unleash her ultimate move and even has the ability to change the weather.

Even Klee possesses the powerful destructive ability to alter the terrain.

"Aren't all those Herrschers S-rank talents? And those 13 Heroes, are S-rank talents really that hard to find?" The Herrscher of Knowledge harbored doubts about this.

"Who knows? We can just ask this afternoon. You guys take care of your own dinner tonight; I'm going out to treat everyone," Chen Luo said.

“Oh? That won’t do!” The Herald of Knowledge immediately refused.

"Can I go out with you? I promise I won't do anything reckless, I'll just stay in your mind."

"No." Chen Luo refused decisively.

After all, even for a Herald of Knowledge, it felt a bit awkward to have a living person inside him.

"Please, please." The Herrscher of Knowledge grabbed Chen Luo's hand and said pitifully.

"Ah, this..."

Referee, someone committed a foul here!

"Fine, fine." But in the end, she compromised.

Besides the fact that Chen Luo found it difficult to refuse the request from the Lawyer of Knowledge, it was also because...

[Ding! You have a new request!]

This guy, Shi Bao, always posts requests in weird and unusual places.

This includes the last time he stole Fu Hua's clothes.

"Great!" The one who understands the law is delighted by this.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Hmm?" Chen Luo frowned.

This task is not the one that the Herrscher of Knowledge just issued. That task will only be completed after Chen Luo takes her out to have dinner together.

"What mission is this? Walter's mission? Or Ying's mission?" Chen Luo had taken on quite a few missions and was doing quite a few missions at the same time, so he was a little confused.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Okay, so it should be the task of helping Ying find her brother."

Two tasks were completed in one go, and Chen Luo immediately understood.

One is Ying's mission, and the other is Paimon's mission.

But speaking of which, where is Paimon now?

"Commander Qin, where is Paimon? You didn't lose it, did you?" Chen Luo turned around and asked directly.

"Of course not. After you and Wendy came to the bar, we left. We ran into Amber on the way. Amber was worried when she saw that Ying wasn't with Paimon. After she found out what happened, she decided to take Paimon to eat her way through Mondstadt to comfort her," Jean said.

"That's good, at least it wasn't lost." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it's a mascot that just contributed 500 raw gems.

[Finding her brother]: Ying finds her brother who was lost 500 years ago.

Reward: 1200 Primogems + random reward.

Difficulty: Four stars

[Help Ying Find Her Brother]: Help Ying find her lost brother.

Reward: 500 Primogems + random reward.

Difficulty: 3 stars

A total of 1700 Primogems and two random rewards.

This time they really hit the jackpot.

Ying, my Ying...

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

Chen Luo turned his head and saw Ying.

"Brother..." Ying murmured the word.

"Hey, really? You should have just seen your brother, why are you back already?" Chen Luo asked in surprise, seeing Ying looking somewhat lost.

Logically, the mission should be completed when Ying meets her brother.

And the time Chen Luo spent spacing out and compiling statistics wasn't that long, so how did he get back?

Seeing Ying looking distraught, Chen Luo immediately went to greet her, after all...

Ying's situation clearly indicates that she has a mission she can take on.

"Ying, are you alright?" Chen Luo walked up to Ying, helped her to the bar, and then hurried inside himself.

Would you like something to drink?

"No need, thank you." Ying shook her head.

"..."

No need for thanks. If you really want to thank me, just send me a request.

Chen Luo sighed as he poured a glass of lukewarm water and placed it in front of Ying.

Damn it, even boiled water requires raw stones, and it's not cheap either, still 0.1 raw stones.

Rounding down, I lost 10 raw stones.

"Tell me if you're feeling down," Chen Luo said earnestly.

Although Chen Luo and Ying have not known each other for long, the discount she received must have been quite substantial.

Chen Luo wasn't used to making friends, nor did he really understand what friendship was. But ever since the concept of discounts as a visible measure of goodwill came about, Chen Luo had gotten into the habit of treating others based on the degree of discounts they received towards him.

Perhaps because Chen Luo spends so much time completing commissions, he doesn't have many friends and therefore can't truly experience the feeling of friendship. So he can only interact with others in this way.

If you treat me well, I will treat you even better.

If Chen Luo also has a favorability discount for others, then Chen Luo's favorability discount for others will definitely increase as the discount increases and decrease as the discount decreases.

Although it sounds outrageous, this is the way Chen Luo has recently figured out to get along with others.

In reality, you can never know if someone is just a casual acquaintance, but with discounts, everything becomes transparent.

For Chen Luo, everyone has become more sincere, which makes it easier to get along with them.

This did indeed make things much easier for Chen Luo.

Therefore, for those who are already enjoying a discount of 8% or more, Chen Luo is willing to pay 0.1 raw stones.

Although Ying's mission did not offer any affection points as a reward, completing the mission did increase her affection level.

Brother-in-law, I will definitely take good care of your sister.

"I just saw my brother. Speaking of which, I have to apologize to you. At the insistence of that Number 3, I ambushed him when I showed myself, causing minor injuries," Yingmei said, holding the glass of water with a hint of sadness.

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Since it's what they strongly requested, it means they're prepared. I don't mind, since I'm not the one who'll be in pain."

"Hmph, Chen Luo, you must have a lot of friends, right? Thanks for your comfort." Ying, who had been looking dejected, couldn't help but smile when she heard Chen Luo's words.

"Emmm, you might not believe it, but I have very few friends."

But I have many cute little sheep.

Chapter 190: The incident of Ying being caught red-handed by Paimon while eating the Paimon meal.

"I never imagined that my brother was actually the legendary Abyss Prince. But when I tried to take him home, he said something like, 'We will meet again eventually, but don't rush, Ying. I have enough time to wait for you. By then, you will understand me.' Then he took the injured Number 3 and vanished in an instant." Holding a slightly warm water glass in her hand, Ying began to recount her experience.

"Your brother is quite the character," Chen Luo remarked.

"Sigh, Ying, don't be so sad. I'll help you find your brother, and when the time is right, I might even be able to bring him back and send you both home. But it probably won't work out right now. But at least this time we've found some very useful clues, haven't we?" Chen Luo comforted her.

"I... am not sad."

“…Yes, I believe you.” Chen Luo paused for a moment, then nodded.

I don't believe you for a second.

"In short, now that we've found a breakthrough, let's continue our journey, explore more secrets, pursue the truth of the ancient times, and finally beat up your brother, take him home, and open a Genshin Impact apartment."

"Hmm?" Ying tilted her head.

Everything before the last sentence is understandable.

But what does "Genshin Impact Apartment" mean?

"Just kidding. Anyway, since this trip was so memorable, we should leave something to remember it by, right? But opening an apartment is a joke, you guys can come to the bar often. After all, you might run into someone you know, right?" Chen Luo pointed in the direction of Qin and Lisa.

"Ah."
