"Oh? I actually got it?!"
Seeing the reward, a hint of surprise flashed through Han Feng's eyes.
Something that so many people had desperately sought after, and he had obtained it just like that?
Could it be that, as the host, he received some preferential treatment?
But regardless, obtaining it was a good thing.
"System, claim the reward!"
Han Feng spoke softly.
As soon as his voice fell,
Buzz—
A brilliant light flashed.
Then, a spherical Peace Star floated before him.
"A Peace Star that can grant wishes... Does that mean I can use it to return home?"
Looking at the spherical object before him, a strange look flashed through Han Feng's eyes.
But he immediately dismissed the thought.
In his previous life, he had been alone anyway. There was no need for him to go back.
Wasn't Teyvat a much better place?
He didn't know how many people would be envious of him for getting transmigrated here.
So he would keep this Peace Star for now and use it when he actually needed it.
After all, for certain matters, a Peace Star would be much more convenient.
Shaking his head, Han Feng put away the reward, then picked up his teacup and took a light sip.
"Feels like Inazuma isn't going to have a peaceful night..."
Thinking about Scaramouche, his thoughts began to wander again.
Outside Inazuma City, the sky was gradually darkening.
By this time, Scaramouche had already returned to the Fatui's secret base.
"Lord Scaramouche, you're back. Are you heading to Yashiori Island now?"
Seeing Scaramouche, the Fatui commander hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Not for now. I have something important to do."
Scaramouche waved his hand and walked directly toward the interior of the base.
There was a secure chamber there.
Every Fatui base had one.
But before disappearing from sight, he seemed to think of something and turned around to issue an order.
"If anything unusual happens nearby later—such as a gigantic monster appearing—you must investigate and gather information immediately. Report everything to me afterward."
A gigantic monster?
Confusion appeared in the commander's eyes.
Their base had been established for quite some time, but they had never encountered a monster like that before.
Still, since it was an order from an Executive, all they had to do was follow it.
"Yes, Lord Scaramouche!"
"Mm."
Satisfied, Scaramouche nodded.
This way, he could make his preparations as foolproof as possible.
Now, all that remained was for him to dream.
With that thought, Scaramouche walked straight toward the interior of the base.
Soon, he arrived at the secure chamber.
The room wasn't particularly large, but it was more than enough for one or two people.
After carefully inspecting the surroundings and making sure everything was secure,
Scaramouche sat down on the floor and assumed a meditative posture.
Then he slowly closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Meanwhile, in the wilderness outside the Chinju Forest, a cute little figure was wandering around and playing.
Beside her floated a tiny creature, which occasionally raised the camera in its hands to take pictures.
"Lumine, we've pretty much finished exploring around Inazuma City. Let's go check out some of the other islands tomorrow!"
After taking a picture, Little Paimon flew in front of Lumine.
"Shouldn't it be that you want to go to the other places to sell carrots?"
Lumine squeezed Little Paimon's cheeks and laughed.
That afternoon, the two of them had set up a stall in Inazuma City for a while.
But without two big spenders, the results hadn't been particularly impressive.
Not that they were bad.
They had still sold several hundred carrots.
But compared to Thoma and Raiden Ei, the two wealthy customers from the morning,
it was nothing.
One of them had bought 2,000 carrots, while the other had placed a huge order.
Having tasted the profits, Little Paimon naturally wanted to find more wealthy customers.
At her urging, the two had left the city and come toward Konda Village.
But there weren't many people here, so the demand wasn't particularly high either.
In Lumine's opinion, Little Paimon, who had practically fallen into the Mora, was probably already thinking about expanding her business elsewhere.
"Hehe!"
Having her thoughts seen through, Little Paimon scratched her head, unusually embarrassed.
The main problem was that she was now a part-time worker, and half of what she earned had to be split with the boss.
So she had to find ways to make more money.
"Mm, then let's go tomorrow. We can treat it as traveling around!"
After teasing Little Paimon, Lumine didn't refuse.
They had already explored Mondstadt and Liyue, so they couldn't possibly leave Inazuma out.
"Yay!"
Little Paimon cheered and happily spun around in the air.
This was great news!
She'd definitely have to eat an extra chicken leg when they got back!
"Lumine, let's head ba—huh? Isn't that Little Klee?"
Just as Little Paimon was excitedly preparing to head back, she suddenly spotted a familiar red figure ahead.
"It really is! What is she doing in Inazuma?"
Following Paimon's gaze, Lumine was surprised as well.
They hadn't seen Little Klee since they parted ways yesterday afternoon.
They hadn't expected to encounter her here.
"Boss Han said yesterday that she came to Inazuma with Alice. Could she have secretly snuck out to go fishing with explosives?"
Little Paimon began speculating.
It wasn't impossible!
After all, this little one's history spoke for itself.
"Let's go take a look!"
Lumine was a little worried.
She wasn't worried about Klee.
She was worried about the people here!
What if Klee pulled out another Jumpty Dumpty?
That would be disastrous.
Little Paimon nodded, and the two hurried forward.
"Eh? It's Honorary Knight and Paimon!"
Seeing the two of them, Little Klee happily waved.
"Little Klee, did you sneak out without telling your mom to go fishing with explosives?"
Lumine smiled and patted Klee's head.
"No! Klee isn't fishing with explosives, and I told Mommy about it!"
Little Klee shook her head.
She had complete freedom when she was with Mommy!
She could go fishing with explosives whenever she wanted!
Mommy would even help her study bombs!
More importantly, she wouldn't be locked in solitary confinement.
"Then why did you come here alone?"
Lumine continued curiously.
It would have been understandable during the day, but it was already dark!
"I came here to test the reward I got from Big Brother Han Feng!"
At the mention of this, Little Klee's eyes immediately lit up.
She wanted to try summoning the Dragon God!
But because of the rule of "fireworks in the city, report to the confinement room,"
she had told Mommy about it first.
Alice had agreed.
However, Alice was busy researching explosive fireworks with Yoimiya and couldn't come along.
Besides, with so many treasures at Klee's disposal, she wasn't worried about her daughter getting hurt.
"Reward?"
Lumine and Little Paimon exchanged glances, both seeing curiosity in the other's eyes.
What kind of reward was it that Klee had to sneak out after dark to test it?
Just as the two were about to ask what was going on, something unexpected happened!
ROAR!
A thunderous roar reverberated throughout heaven and earth!
