Lying on the bed at Wangshu Inn, looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar ceiling of Wangshu Inn, Stelle's thoughts were myriad.
She had been busy all afternoon outside today, but she had gained nothing until dark, which was truly frustrating.
Fortunately, although the client this time was anxious, he was not an unreasonable person; he even accompanied her in the search.
This made Stelle very relieved. When doing commissions outside, the most feared thing was encountering those unreasonable clients.
Stelle had heard Lumine say when she was in Mondstadt that they once went on a commission and met a Snezhnaya person named Tsarevich.
Not only was this guy incredibly arrogant, but the content of his commission was also purely difficult. He kept complaining about the inefficiency of the Knights of Favonius, and then he would say that with the speed of an Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, he could deal with the monsters at the foot of the mountain in one minute…
Of course, Lumine was very strong, and there was nothing she couldn't do within a minute, but the problem was that this guy had promised nicely before that money was not an issue.
When Lumine finished dealing with those monsters and went to ask him for money, he only gave Lumine five thousand Mora as Reward.
He even shamelessly said, "Our Snezhnaya merchants keep their word."
When arguing with him, such people always had their own set of reasons, saying that the content of the commission was only worth that much Mora.
Just hearing Lumine talk about it, Stelle was furious at the time and immediately wanted to go find that guy and teach him a good lesson to vent Lumine's anger.
If the conditions hadn't been unfavorable at the time, Stelle might have actually done it.
It can only be said that Stelle had experienced few commissions, and the people she had encountered were not that abnormal…
Well, actually, this client also gave Stelle a very strange feeling in all aspects.
But these were not things Stelle needed to consider. She just needed to find a way to complete the commission.
It's just that, such a large area of ruins, looking for something in it feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. It might be difficult to gain anything tomorrow as well.
If only she could learn the element sight like Lumine, then this commission might be easier to complete.
Forget it, these are not things to consider now. She will enjoy some intimate moments in the Serenitea Pot in a while, so it's better not to worry about these trivial matters.
Moreover, compared to tomorrow's commission, she had more important things to do.
The girl named Soraya, whom the proprietress mentioned tonight, she also had to confirm her safety.
Speaking of which, she had never seen a Sumeru person before. She was quite curious about what she looked like.
By the way, isn't it a bit too reckless for someone to run to a dangerous place like the ruins late at night…
"Forget it, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Stelle sat up from the bed and stretched.
It was almost time for her to go to the Serenitea Pot.
If you were to ask why Stelle still stayed at the expensive Wangshu Inn even though she had something like the Serenitea Pot?
On the one hand, it was because she felt that if she randomly placed the Serenitea Pot in the wilderness, she might encounter something strange the next day when she came out.
For example, being surrounded by monsters like Hilichurl…
So, if possible, it's best to find a sufficiently safe place to place the Serenitea Pot.
On the other hand, renting a room at Wangshu Inn could also cope with unexpected needs. What if someone came looking for her?
Of course, it was also great to come and see this charming proprietress…
It's a pity she's already married.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Stelle's figure reappeared in the room at Wangshu Inn.
"Hoo…" Stelle breathed slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
Undoubtedly, last night was another crazy night. Lumine teamed up with certain people to try to take control, but Stelle was already prepared. In just over an hour, those few people all surrendered.
Next was Stelle's solo punishment time.
One by one, the punishments made them tremble with fear in the end, almost wanting to leave.
It's a pity, if she hadn't been caught off guard and ambushed, she wouldn't have woken up until now.
"Alas, I was careless." Stelle shook her head, pushed open the door, and walked out.
Today's commission still had to continue, and besides, she had to help the proprietress find someone. She wondered if it was already a bit late now…
Anyway, she could directly teleport to the teleportation anchor point closer to the ruins, so being a little late shouldn't matter much.
"Good morning, proprietress." Stelle walked out of Wangshu Inn and happened to see the proprietress Philgoda returning from outside.
"It's the boss, not the proprietress… Miss Stelle? It's almost lunchtime now, so it's not early." Philgoda finished her catchphrase, then looked at Stelle with a puzzled expression.
She had thought Stelle had already gone out, but she didn't expect her to have just woken up at this hour.
"Ah??" Stelle was slightly stunned, then looked up at the sun and immediately felt a sense of dread.
Wasn't she definitely going to be late??
"Sorry, sorry, I have to go first!" Stelle didn't have time to say anything more to the proprietress and quickly ran towards the distance.
"Alas, don't forget about Soraya!" Philgoda shouted to Stelle's retreating figure. Only when Stelle's figure disappeared from sight did she sigh slightly and continue walking into the inn.
A moment later, Stelle's figure appeared near the ruins.
Even with the teleportation anchor point, it still took some time to run from the teleportation anchor point.
Stelle was so anxious that she was even slightly out of breath.
"I hope Precious Baby doesn't blame me…" Stelle gasped for breath while searching for Precious Baby's whereabouts.
Just by standing there and looking for a few moments, Stelle quickly spotted Precious Baby's figure.
"Precious Baby~" Stelle quickly ran over.
At this moment, Precious Baby was squatting there, just like yesterday, not knowing what he was looking for. Hearing Stelle's voice, he seemed to have been startled.
"It's you?! Why are you only just arriving now!" Precious Baby looked a bit angry, which was understandable. Stelle had no complaints about it and could only keep apologizing.
"I'm really sorry, I went to bed too late yesterday…" Stelle said, touching her head, feeling a bit guilty.
She didn't want to, but those few girls were really too difficult to deal with.
"Alas… Never mind, let me tell you the current situation." Looking at Stelle's still somewhat flushed cheeks, Precious Baby's words ultimately failed to materialize, and he could only sigh deeply in resignation.
Facing this guy, he couldn't seem to get angry no matter what.
