Hu Tao Is Monetizing My Existence. [229]

At Venti’s enthusiastic insistence, everyone ordered takeout from Angel’s Share and enjoyed a grand feast.

After stuffing themselves, a drunken Venti promptly passed out in the tavern—only to be unceremoniously dragged by Diluc into a storage room full of old crates.

Outside the tavern, Jean turned to Aether and extended an invitation: “Traveler, how about joining me tomorrow in the plaza? As Mondstadt’s new Honorary Knight, the one who saved both our city and Dvalin, it...

While Jiang Bai was unaware that Hu Tao was currently freeloading dinner from a Snezhnayan diplomat, he climbed onto the outstretched palm of the Anemo Archon’s statue, still carrying the faint scent of alcohol.

He wasn’t drunk—just thought the view from here would be good, so he wanted to sit and relax for a while.

And indeed, sitting on the palm of a statue was quite an unusual experience.

He leaned back, hands propping him up, and gazed quietly at the night sky.

While Jiang Bai was happily drinking and chatting with his friends, Hu Tao wasn't having nearly as good a time.

She hung upside-down from a pavilion beam in Zhongli’s courtyard, her legs hooked around the wooden support, her long hair nearly dipping into Zhongli’s teacup below.

“Ahhh, I'm so bored!” she whined, swinging lazily, her hair swaying like seaweed beneath her.

Zhongli calmly moved his teapot and cup away to prevent her hair from falling in.

By two in the afternoon, the monsters attacking Mondstadt gradually retreated, marking a temporary end to the crisis.

Standing atop the city walls, Jiang Bai stretched lazily.

Even though he hadn’t actually fought, just witnessing a monster siege firsthand was an exciting experience—another story he could brag to the Director about later.

“Now that the siege is over, how about joining me for a drink? My treat,” Kaeya drawled lazily, leaning against the wall.

“No problem!” Lumine immediately agreed without hesitation. “My Serenitea Pot is huge and can fit plenty more people. You’re absolutely welcome, Jean!”

“That’s great!” Paimon chirped happily. “With Jean joining us, we’ll have nothing to worry about!”

Barbara also spoke up softly, “Si—Acting Grand Master Jean suggested that I come too. While I’d prefer not to trouble you all, if anyone needs healing along the way, I’ll be able to help quickly.”

“Eh… ehehe?”

Standing awkwardly in his little skirt, Venti stared at Jia Changjiang for a moment before tapping his head playfully and sticking out his tongue.

“…”

Jia Changjiang studied Venti quietly, deep in thought.

A short skirt, braided hair, his usual hat and flower still perched jauntily atop his head…

Had Venti finally embraced the path of cross-dressing?

Still, is that it? Even the clothes he wore as Barbatos revealed more skin than t...

“…” Dvalin stared at Jia Changjiang incredulously.

He was Mondstadt’s mighty Stormterror, Guardian of the East Winds, yet Jia Changjiang had come all this way for something like this?

Even Barbatos wouldn’t…

Dvalin paused, reconsidering as a certain bard’s face flashed in his mind.

That lazy Barbatos…

Actually, on second thought, Barbatos probably would do exactly this.

“…Fine.” Dvalin finally let out a resigned sigh, exhaling a breath...

After leaving the library, Klee sprinted straight to Acting Grand Master Jean’s office, bursting through the door with a shout: “Jean! Jean! Klee needs leave! Klee has to go on a trip!”

Lumine and Paimon chased behind her, Lumine breathlessly calling out: “Klee, please don’t run so fast…”

“Haha…”

Jia Changjiang entered last, noticing not only Jean inside the office but Barbara as well.

“Oh, everyone's here.” He nodded in greeting to Jean and Bar...

“Golden Apple Archipelago?”

Cyrus furrowed his brow.

Clearly, he had never heard of such a place.

“Looks like you don't know,” Jia Changjiang withdrew his gaze, shrugging slightly.

“Ahem! Teyvat is vast, and no one can explore every corner. But that's alright—adventurers need the courage to step into the unknown!”

“Yeah, we get it. If you don't know, just say you don't know. What's with all the excuses?” Lumine rolled her eyes, holding Klee’s ...

Staring at the vast, ocean-like expanse in front of him, Hai fell into silence.

He knew exactly what this place was.

In truth, he'd suspected this location's existence for some time, though he had secretly hoped Texas's discovery wasn't actually what he feared—hence his hurried trip here.

Yet reality remained within his worst expectations.

This was indeed The Great Lake.

After days of continuous territorial expansion, The City had finally reached this infamous ...

A new region discovered within The City?

Staring at Texas’s letter, Obsidian’s mind raced with a flurry of thoughts.

No, “discovered” was indeed the right word rather than “appeared.” But what exactly could she have discovered to prompt this kind of urgency?

From Obsidian’s memory, most areas within The City shouldn't differ significantly. Unless…

Realizing a certain possibility, Obsidian felt his vision briefly darken.

“Then, Your Majesty, our deal is concluded. Energy and food supplies. If you have no objections, our agreement will officially stand.”

In the Imperial Palace of Yan, Heal spoke softly, snapping True Lung from his thoughtful silence. He nodded gently, prompting a court official to swiftly present a document.

With that, the contract was sealed.

Heal turned gracefully, waved a casual goodbye, and walked down the steps. Only as she reached the doorway did her voice drift bac...

Staring down at the [Persona Card] in his hand, Obsidian hurriedly dug exactly 100 spindles out from storage—precisely what he needed for the Persona’s third breakthrough.

A Fixer from Hana Association’s First Branch… this power level is no joke.

In most Associations, First Branch members hovered around Second Grade strength. But for the Hana Association, that assumption didn’t hold true.

The Hana Association was leagues above most others ...

When the golden light faded, Obsidian began tallying up the spoils from his thirty gacha pulls.

As expected, another huge pile of spindles appeared. Obsidian glanced at them briefly, then tossed them into a pile without another thought.

Good stuff; Obsidian pocketed it carefully.

Honkai: Star Rail – From the Moment Tom Cat Became My Passenger [35]

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

The sharp cracks echoed nonstop, and a growing pile of flattened True Sting corpses accumulated around Tom.

Seeing this, Yevenko’s eyes sparkled, and he eagerly pulled out a flyswatter from behind his back, swiping at an approaching True Sting.

Instead of flattening, the bug bounced like a rubber ball straight toward Tom.

Tom promptly caught it with his own swatter, smacking it back at Yevenko.

As the two exchanged vo...

“How did you end up looking like Tom?”

Raiden Ei walked gracefully forward, lightly smoothing down the rounded curves of her hips beneath her kimono and straightening the fabric along her slender thighs. She crouched gracefully, quietly observing Yevenko, who stood barely a meter tall in his current form.

She reached out gently with her delicate, pale hand and softly patted his head.

Having only ever patted Tom himself, Yevenko was startled at being on the receiving end ...

Stepping out of the council hall refreshed, Yevenko didn't immediately rush to reunite with the Trailblazer crew.

Instead, accompanied by Tom, he vanished in a flash of golden light, returning to his own Astral Express.

Tom headed straight for the kitchen—it seemed hunger had struck him, and he was off to grab a bite.

It was a shame only Yevenko and his summoned characters could use this teleportation. If others could as well, it would have been even more convenient.

With humiliation and confusion surging like relentless waves, each sharp slap sent tidal waves of shame crashing through Cocolia’s mind, one fiercer than the last.

She struggled desperately, the rope biting into her pale skin, leaving raw red marks, yet she couldn't break free from the seemingly ordinary bindings.

Never before had someone of her position endured such humiliation. Her vision blurred, and with an anguished roll of her eyes, she fainted.

Feeling the sudden, massive surge in his exploration value, Yevenko felt invigorated.

He immediately swung his baseball bat frantically, grinding exploration points without pause. At this rate, his next character pull was looking bright!

Sure, Tom was strong and cooked great meals, but he mostly made Western cuisine.

Yevenko wanted a character who was both powerful and skilled at cooking something different. Of course, a pretty girl w...

As they approached the school gates, Chiba Shuuichi quietly split off from Akiyama Tsuki to avoid unnecessary gossip.

He trailed several steps behind the sisters, watching from a distance as the disciplinary committee members—checking uniforms at the gate—greeted Tsuki with admiration.

“Any troublemakers today?” Tsuki paused to show concern for the committee’s work.

“No, everyone's cooperating nicely,” replied the disciplinary member, a rather cute girl with lo...

“Come to think of it, don’t they have women-only carriages here? Why didn’t you send Class Rep there?” Chiba Shuuichi suddenly recalled this local feature.

Akiyama Tsuki waved dismissively. “Those things sound good on paper—special consideration for women and all that—but an entire carriage full of women is honestly a nightmare.”

Tsuki whimpered softly, deciding to believe him for now, and began explaining the previous question.

“Our family doesn’t have a man around. If we don’t seem strong, it’s not surprising that we might get bullied, right?”

Watching the two “twin ladies” leave, Chiba Shuuichi rubbed his chin, sinking into thought as he analyzed Ogawa Sayuki’s situation.

From his interactions with her these past few days, it was obvious: Sayuki had a strong personality, always wanting to take the lead, to be on top.

Yeah—in every sense of the word.

Chiba couldn’t help but suspect that, even when it came to that sort of thing, Sayuki liked to be on top, taking control.

The empire’s Shadow Knights were truly efficient—they’d arrived even faster than Linen had anticipated.

Appearing silently in the building last night and then quietly leaving right after Ken’s death—putting those two facts together, any normal person would conclude that Linen was Ken’s accomplice. After all, who else would it be?

The next day, in Eden Academy’s infirmary, two recovering girls—one lying down, the other sitting cross-legged—rested in their hospital beds. Linen sat between the beds, leisurely peeling an apple with a small knife.

Not particularly rare, and simple enough to craft. When infused with mana, it could release [Wind Blades]. However, due to Elena's limited strength as the creator, this particular stone could only release two blades.
