"o(￣︶￣)o"
Lumine suddenly showed such an expression: "You've actually come to ask me for help. So that's why you suddenly showed such eagerness to cook today. It seems you're prepared for me to demand a hefty price, aren't you?"
Jack remained silent.
Lumine immediately showed a shrewd smile and gestured with her fingers: "Here, this amount, and I'll do it."
She held out five fingers.
"Fifty thousand mora?"
"Huh? Are you trying to bribe a beggar? The people in Mondstadt pay more than that just to find a cat!"
That cat must be truly precious.
Jack couldn't be bothered to retort to Lumine and then raised the price: "Five million. I got some money from a certain sucker a while ago. This should be enough to pay you, right?"
Lumine still shook her head.
"Hiss! Do you want fifty million? Then go rob the Fatui; they've been collecting materials from MC monsters recently and probably have a lot of funds."
Lumine finally revealed her true objective.
"I want 5000 world coin!"
"??"
Jack didn't quite understand Lumine's thought process: "Why do you want that? You can't spend it, and little Klee hasn't even gotten the Maid Charm yet."
Has this guy completely given up on his own gacha rolls?
Lumine silently complained.
"Just tell me if you'll give it to me or not! Even if I can't use it now, I can use it later."
Lumine's attitude was firm.
That is, no mora, only world coin.
You've fallen on hard times, Morax, my comrade.
Jack noticed Paimon also looking over and instantly guessed why Lumine was doing this.
It was nothing more than the snacks Keqing had left for them last time were almost gone.
"If you want anything from the general store, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you."
"Oh, come on! Just give it to me, please~"
Don't think I'll go soft just because you talk like little Klee!
Jack checked his current balance, which was around 8000.
He had been in Teyvat recently, and on the MC side, he mostly just checked the Ice Dragon's hatching status daily and transferred jobs for newly born adult Villagers.
He had also kept all the wheat for trading Teyvat goods with Jean instead of selling it, so all his world coin came from various achievement contributions.
Fortunately, his strength had increased now, and the coins given by achievements had also increased.
With a slap.
Jack threw out a stack of paper with a strange texture.
Each sheet was printed with the number 100.
"I was planning to give each of you some world coin for daily expenses after getting you character templates anyway. Since you're asking for it early, there's no harm in giving it to you."
Lumine excitedly accepted the 5000 world coin.
Her fox-like eyes scanned Jack up and down.
She seemed to be wondering if she had asked for too little.
"Don't try to raise the price now; I only have this much. When I go back to Mondstadt and get 40 stacks of diamonds from Albedo, I'll have 50,000 world coin coming in."
"Moreover, the alchemy conversion machine he made probably isn't for unlimited use. To ensure the machine's lifespan, I'll probably still need to set aside a portion of world coin daily for converting coal into diamonds."
After some explanation, he finally made it clear to the Traveler.
So she stopped dwelling on it and patted Jack on the shoulder generously.
"No problem, no problem! I'll definitely help you with your matters, since we're bro... married!"
You meant to say 'brothers', didn't you!
Jack looked speechlessly at the carefree Traveler.
This guy has been getting more and more arrogant lately.
Tonight, he would let a certain prankster know that a bull with unlimited stamina really could plow fields until they were ruined.
...
So from that day on,
Jack officially began to carry out the commission of a certain Anemo Archon.
During the day, he searched for World Intersection Points.
He used his authority to change the difficulty of the intersection points to 'peaceful'.
Then, because the changes needed to take effect the next day,
He and the Traveler would often lead separate groups to clear out the intersection points at night.
During this process, they encountered two new types of mutated monsters:
Mutated Skeletons and Mutated Creepers.
Among the two, the Mutated Creeper was easier to deal with.
Due to their lack of mobility, Mutated Creepers were easily kited to death, but upon death, they would absorb players in an area and then self-destruct.
Jack had explained this to his wives beforehand, and later, with the Traveler's Anemo Element thruster, they managed to defeat them without much trouble.
The Mutated Skeleton was encountered by Jack.
With a shield, he directly engaged in close-quarters combat with it, and the Mutated Skeleton couldn't inflict a single point of damage on Jack until its death.
It could only be said that MC's shield combined with Geo Element power was truly reassuring.
Thus, a week passed.
[Achievement Unlocked: Liberate Dragonspine Mountain]
[Reward: 1000 world coins]
[Special Reward Obtained]
"What the hell is that noise!"
Jack immediately sat up from the bed, looked closely, and said, "Oh, it's my system. No big deal then."
Then he lay down again, happily hugging the Traveler and Mona, and continued to sleep.
The four of them had agreed to rotate, with two people sleeping together every other night.
Wait! What achievement is 'Liberate Dragonspine Mountain'? And what's the special reward?
Jack sat up again.
He pulled up the achievement tab and carefully examined it.
[Liberate Dragonspine Mountain]
[Conditions: Find all intersection points between Dragonspine Mountain and the Overworld, clear all guardians, and complete the liberation of the anomaly. Upon completion, you will gain a portion of Teyvat's world authority.]
I became an authority dog?
Jack closed his eyes, bypassed his god's eye, and began to communicate with the elemental power within his body.
Then he discovered that the total amount of his elemental power had increased by more than three times.
He had discussed his elemental capacity with Lisa before, and even then, it had already surpassed most Genshin characters.
Now, with such a quantity and the quality of his elemental power, which was comparable to that of the original Seven Dragon Sovereigns, it was no longer a problem for him to call himself a god.
"Husband, it's cold~"
"Oh, oh, sorry."
Jack quickly lay down and tucked the blanket around the Traveler.
The Traveler fumbled and hugged his waist.
Mona did the same; because Jack's previous movement had let in a draft, she also hugged him for warmth.
Jack put his hands under their necks, wrapped them around their smooth backs, and his fingers danced like they were on piano keys, giving them a massage spa.
"Ngh~"
It was just past midnight.
The two women were not yet in a deep sleep. Startled awake by Jack's movements, they gave him a playful glare, then shyly drifted back to sleep.
Jack adjusted his body to better massage them.
His sleepiness had been disturbed by the system, so he simply opened the random shop interface and began to browse.
[Elementary Physics: 200 world coins]
[Elementary Chemistry: 200 world coins]
[Elementary Biology: 200 world coins]
[Elementary Mathematics: 1000 world coins]
Today is the Blue Star science special.
The random shop usually comes with a theme.
It occasionally switches between MC, Genshin, and a few Blue Star worlds.
The items that appear are mostly useless but too good to throw away.
It's rare for knowledge-based items to appear like today.
Last time I bought a few books on Sharpened Blade IV (Advanced Sharpness) enchantment, this time I'll buy a few books too.
The Dragonspine Mountain quest is almost complete, next up is Liyue.
If I bring these books to Ningguang and the others, I wonder if it will bring some different changes to the newly emerging Liyue?
