"Lord Ningguang."
The assistant's voice suddenly rang out, "The information about Mr. Luo Mu has been classified as extremely high-level confidentiality by Mondstadt, and it is said that it was personally ordered by the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. Apart from the files that he voluntarily shared, we can basically find out nothing else."
Ningguang slowly opened her eyes.
"This is interesting."
Ningguang gazed out the car window at the scenery, seemingly thinking of something interesting, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve upwards.
"Just an ordinary...ordinary person...ha."
"Lord Ningguang?"
"You don't need to worry about this anymore. What's my schedule for tomorrow?"
"Uh, please wait a moment... I have a speech at the Thousand Islands Financial Summit this morning, followed by a meeting that Lord Yuhengxing has repeatedly requested. As for the afternoon—"
"Cancel them all, I have other things to do."
"But what about Lord Yuheng Star..."
"Anyway, it's not the first time."
"Okay, alright..."
The Divine Calculation System will never be [illegible] in Liyue! Chapter 366 Mona: Small business, no credit.
After leaving Qunyu Pavilion, Luo Mu returned to his team and then... prepared to eat.
"This operation was truly uneventful in the literal sense; nothing actually happened."
"If that happens, will we not even get the mission reward?"
"Isn't this a government-sponsored assignment? Shouldn't we receive a bonus?"
"I don't think Tianquan Star is short of money."
When Luo Mu and Ye Lan arrived, everyone was chatting, while two little foxes, one pink and one white, sat in a row leisurely cracking almonds.
Ye Lan raised her hand and parted the light barrier, speaking casually as she said:
"Boss Ningguang's payment has arrived, a total of 6."
"Hey, there really is a bonus?"
"6 Mora?"
Amber glanced around at the people around her. "Ten thousand per person? In just over an hour, Tianquan Star is really generous."
Paimon frowned, rested his chin on his hand, and hesitated for a while before quickly saying:
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, if it's ten thousand per person... doesn't that mean I don't count?!"
"You're the strange one."
As Luo Mu said this, he casually grabbed Paimon and walked towards the hovercar. "Let's go, let's go. Since the boss has paid, let's go out for a meal today. It's on me!"
Paimon, who was being grabbed by the back of his collar by Luo Mu, was still struggling and crying, but stopped moving immediately upon hearing these words.
"If that's what you mean, then it's not that I can't forgive you."
Everyone got on the bus happily.
"But speaking of which, I didn't expect the person Tianquan Star is meeting this time to be a woman. Is that guy going to follow us all the way to Liyue just to get revenge on us?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan immediately became interested.
"Revenge? It doesn't seem like it to me. That executive officer even sent someone homemade chocolates."
"Is there really such a thing?"
This piqued the interest of everyone in the car.
Luo Mu glanced expressionlessly at the smiling Ye Lan, whose head was once again occupied by Miss Jiu Chong, and who had even been fed an almond by Miss Fox.
He opened his mouth as he chewed:
"Yes, there is, but I don't think any of you really think that person came to give me a gift, right? They clearly stated that it was a return gift."
"That's true..."
Fischl gave an awkward laugh.
Given Luo Mu's previous volatile temper, it's hard to believe he'd have such a good temper, especially since the other party is a high-ranking executive.
"So what exactly did you do to provoke a lady to come after you?"
Ye Lan became increasingly curious.
Even if it's an executive officer hunting you down, that's not something an ordinary person can do.
Everyone else looked at Luo Mu.
He silently slid open the light screen, found a certain photo, and slid it in front of Ye Lan.
"You can guess the rest yourself."
"—?"
Luo Mu did not continue the topic.
"We can only play it by ear with the lady for now. We really can't do anything about that woman right now. Our immediate problem is—"
"The Abyss Order didn't show itself the entire time we escorted Tianquan Star, which is probably not a good thing for us."
Miss Nine-Headed above him tossed him another almond.
"Hey, isn't this a good thing?"
Paimon asked dumbfoundedly, "Isn't it good that no one attacked us, and we got the prize money so easily?"
"This reward was indeed easy to obtain, but if the Abyss Order abandons its original plan and goes into hiding again, then the clues we just found will be cut off, and we will have to find a new way to locate them."
Noelle, dressed in a maid outfit, said rationally.
Paimon's little face immediately showed a troubled look as if he was thinking hard.
"Okay, that seems to be the case? So what should we do?"
"We find a new entry point from where the clues ended... that's generally how it works."
Amber, sitting in the driver's seat, turned around, but shrugged at the end.
"Start from where you broke off..."
Paimon continued to think hard, "Isn't that... Tianquan Star? If we talk to Tianquan Star, uh..."
It seems even Paimon has realized the problem.
“To conduct an in-depth investigation into the situation around Tianquan Star is not an ordinary authority; in fact, probably no one in Liyue has this authority.”
Luo Mu glanced at Ye Lan, who was still staring at the photo with a puzzled expression.
"Hey, that's enough. Don't you have any ideas? Aren't you on pretty good terms with that Tianquan Star?"
Ye Lan did look away from the photo, but her expression remained unchanged.
After all, the content of such a photo is quite simple, but when combined with what Luo Mu said before, the amount of information suddenly becomes enormous.
She felt she did have some very plausible guesses, but when the subject was that executive officer, they suddenly became extremely unreliable, while her other guesses—
In short, it leaves one with mixed feelings.
"I have already spoken to Lady Ningguang about this matter."
Ye Lan adjusted her expression and answered Luo Mu's question.
"When I discovered that the Abyss Order's target was likely Lady Ningguang's upcoming trip, I reminded her to be careful around her. Lady Ningguang assigning you and me as her closest guards is probably partly due to this. But you also understand—"
Ye Lan sighed helplessly, "The relationships around Tianquan Star are complicated and involve the interests of more than one party. One guard operation won't have a big impact, but I said it's best to investigate. Our Ningguang hasn't replied to me yet."
There's nothing we can do about that.
Luo Mu scratched his head, and then, he accidentally scratched Miss Jiu Chong's thigh.
Miss Jiuchong threw him another almond.
Ok.
"If this path doesn't work, then let's keep looking for the next clue. If we can find one clue, then a second one will do too, right?"
He chewed and chewed, while reaching out to touch Miss Ninefold's fox head.
Seeing Luo Mu so relaxed, Ye Lan was speechless.
"What you said makes me lose face!"
"Well, sorry~"
Anyway, their primary goal right now is to keep the two fox ladies in check, right?
Wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten something since I got to Liyue—
Shouldn't I be looking for Mona-chan at a time like this?
These days, communication isn't inconvenient at all. He simply swiped open the light screen, found Mona's chat window, and sent a single message:
[Luo Mu: Business opportunity! I'm still in Liyue. Can I keep the part I submitted after the divination?]
[Mona: No!]
——?
[Luo Mu: Then give me a discount!]
[Mona: No!]
You bastard!
The Divine Calculation System Girl won't be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 367 Ningguang: First Time Getting Rejected
Regardless, although he was very angry, it was clear that business was more important at the moment, so Luo Mu had no choice but to pay the money, even though he was embarrassed.
I also made up my mind that when I got back to Mondstadt, I would definitely make Miss Mona roll her eyes.
Fortunately, aside from being infuriating, Mona was quite efficient after taking the money, and he quickly received the results of the divination.
—A map, a circle, or even a screenshot.
This looks like it was just taken from a navigation app!
Luo Mu's temples throbbed, and in the end, he had no choice but to accept the result of this makeshift divination.
"Never mind, let's go eat first and then talk about it!"
"I didn't expect you guys to have such powerful backup?"
Ye Lan looked like she had finally discovered the truth of the world. "No wonder you went to that mall yesterday. I guess you had an astrologer guiding you, right?"
"Uh……"
Luo Mu's expression shifted slightly. "More or less."
However, speaking of this matter, a question came to his mind.
"Don't you have fortune tellers here too? Why haven't I heard you mention them?"
"Of course those kinds of people exist, but do you think they're so easy to find?"
Ye Lan looked at him as if he were some arrogant landlord who wouldn't eat meat porridge, and said irritably,
"To be able to deduce the movements of a top-tier Lv.4 enemy, or even an entire group, one must be either a level 5 Celestial Master or a genius in this field, or simply possess both of these qualities."
"The profession of Celestial Master inherently requires extremely high talent. In Liyue, those who meet this requirement are basically all important figures, or even immortals. Do you think you can just send a message and get them to do the work like you do?"
I also paid 10 Mora...
He subconsciously refuted it in his mind, but wisely refrained from saying it aloud.
Mona's fortune-telling shop was excellent value for money in his shop, a fact he was quite aware of.
Anyway,
"Let's eat first."
