Meanwhile, Yi Chen was hiding in an empty corner of Yuehai Pavilion's corridor, rubbing his hands excitedly while yelling at the system in his head.
[System! System! Emergency call! The ten-confession mission is complete! Hurry—give me my pull!]
[Okk~]
[Ten-pull gacha starting now—!]
In his consciousness, a flashy virtual capsule machine spun wildly amid dramatic sound effects.
[Just One More Look and I Explode]
Effect: When someone looks at you a second time, you may self-destruct at them.
[Mage's Bare-Knuckle Combat]
Effect: "Sorry, Master, I never actually knew how to draw talismans—the demon god was beaten to death."
[Word Spirit · Pressure]
Effect: When you say the word "pressure," enemies feel overwhelming pressure.
Note: Ineffective on thick-skinned idiots.
[Idol Trainee]
Effect: Unmatched talent in singing, dancing, and rap.
You are born for the stage.
Learning performance skills is extremely fast; stage charisma greatly increased.
Note: Basketball must be trained manually.
[Ding! You received 1,000,000 Mora ×6! Deposited to Northland Bank Black Gold Card!]
Before Yi Chen could process the madness, another notification appeared—this time more serious.
[Main Quest Updated!]
[New Quest: Seeking the Adepti]
Description:
Since you are in Liyue and possess Qilin blood, how can you not seek the path of immortality?
Travel to Jueyun Karst or Mt. Aocang.
Obtain at least one adeptal technique or artifact.
Reward: Depends on the quality of the "immortal affinity."
Failure Penalty: All financial luck reduced to zero for one month.
Yi Chen stroked his chin.
"Cultivation? Immortality?"
"…Sounds annoying. But that penalty is brutal—going after my Mora?!"
Fine! Cultivation it is!
Didn't Ganyu say Cloud Retainer lives on Mt. Aocang?
Time to ask Ganyu!
He knocked gently on Ganyu's office door.
Without waiting, he poked his head in.
"Ganyu, I'm back!"
She looked up warmly.
"Welcome back. Did everything go well with Lady Yuheng?"
"Pretty well! She even treated me to Wanmin!"
"But I probably won't be going out with her anymore."
Ganyu paused mid-motion.
"…Why?"
Yi Chen struck a heroic pose.
"Because I'm going to cultivate!"
"…Cultivate?"
Ganyu blinked.
"Why suddenly…?"
Yi Chen waved it off.
"Hard to explain! I just decided!"
He looked more like someone heading to manual labor than seeking immortality.
Ganyu stared—then felt a quiet bubble of happiness rise inside her.
No more lingering around Keqing.
No more Ningguang's "private guidance."
And he'd be going to Mt. Aocang…
Which meant she could visit him perfectly legitimately.
Purely as a senior sister. Absolutely no ulterior motives.
She carefully suppressed her smile.
"That's a good thing. Immortal opportunities are rare."
"I'll contact my master, Cloud Retainer. You can go together."
Yi Chen brightened.
"But… who do I resign to? Lady Ningguang—"
"Your post belongs to the Jade Chamber. You should inform Lady Ningguang formally."
"Got it! I'll head there now!"
At the door, he turned back.
"Oh, and Ganyu—get off work early today. I'll cook dinner!"
Then he vanished.
"…Okay…"
Once the door closed, Ganyu finally processed his words.
She buried her burning face in her hands, ears blazing red, smile unstoppable.
How can he be this… likable?!
Any lingering jealousy melted completely away.
