Chapter 321 Investigation Mission
This little girl basically treats Liu Bai like a servant. Although Liu Bai doesn't understand, he still likes her very much.
The pink-haired fox opened his mouth and took a bite of the sausage that Liu Bai handed to him, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to point at the food he wanted to eat and asked Liu Bai to pick it up for him.
Seeing this scene, Nashida also put down her chopsticks and stretched out her finger to point at the food on the table like the pink-haired fox.
"Come on girl, ah~"
Liu Bai's attention was indeed diverted and he started to help Nashida pick up food.
This trick has worked for her many times and she knows that the best way to deal with Liu Bai is to divert his attention.
Thinking of this, Nashida looked at the pink-haired fox with a little pride.
Feeling Nashida's gaze, the pink-haired fox rolled its eyes, walked over the table to Liu Bai, rubbed its body against Liu Bai's hand like a kitten, and patted it gently with its fluffy tail twice.
Although she has noble blood and has no need for this, fox spirits have been known for their outstanding ability to charm since ancient times.
"Are you hungry too, little fox? You can eat a big chicken drumstick~"
Liu Bai touched the pink-haired fox's head and used chopsticks with his other hand to tear off the chicken leg on the plate.
Then the pink-haired fox held the chicken leg with its front legs and tasted it with satisfaction with a victorious look.
As the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine and the future General of Thunder, she would not condescend to eat from the plate like an unintelligent animal. She should let the servants bring the food to her mouth like this.
"What about mine?"
Nashida puffed her cheeks slightly and looked at Liu Bai.
"Ah...girl, why don't you eat chicken wings? I, I also want to eat chicken legs..."
Looking at the only remaining chicken leg, Liu Bai suggested weakly.
"No, I want chicken legs."
"Eh……"
Liu Bai had no choice but to tear off the only remaining chicken leg, swallowed his saliva and handed it to Nashida.
Looking at Liu Bai's greedy look, Nashida thought for a moment.
"You can eat if you want, but you have to promise me that you will write a little bit of this novel every day from now on... hm?"
Nashida had just said half of her words when Liu Bai was startled and quickly blocked her mouth with a chicken leg.
'Novel? What novel?'
The pink-haired fox heard the key words and looked at Liu Bai and Nashida with some confusion.
However, Liu Bai and Nashida did not notice the pink-haired fox's doubts, but continued to eat dinner.
Just when Liu Bai was about to pay the bill, for some reason another Mora coin of face value fell from the sky into his hand.
These days, he would suddenly pick up a Mora like this every once in a while.
Although it’s not much, I’m still very happy.
……
the next day.
Today is the day when Liu Baizhou refreshes his book.
Ying looked at the Sword of Dawn in his hand and fell into deep thought.
At least... it's better than the edgeless sword...
Ying comforted herself in this way and then entered the reminiscence space.
In order to avoid being dragged in and beaten, Paimon had already hidden far away to avoid being dragged in.
In the recollection space, Liu Bai has returned to his normal appearance today, and the words displayed on his health bar have changed back to the twelfth executive officer of the Fatui.
Fortunately for Ying, Liu Bai in this state would not strike her with lightning right away like he did last week, giving her the opportunity to attack.
Otherwise, if she gets struck by lightning at the beginning every time, she may not make any progress no matter how many times she fights.
This also extended the duration of the battle with Ying to half an hour. During this period, Liu Bai did not actively attack, but instead "counterattacked" when Ying attacked, so that Ying's attacks were basically interrupted.
Ying had to time her attack accurately and barely managed to hit Liu Bai.
What puzzled her was that when she used the Sword of Dawn, the damage she caused was the same as when she used the Winter Ice Guard before. Liu Bai's health bar was directly reduced by 20%...
Just like that, Liu Bai's health bar was soon emptied and he entered the second stage.
Just like in the Wind Dragon Ruins, Ying was unable to dodge any of the second stage's moves and was killed instantly.
After coming to her senses, Ying rubbed her aching wrist, at least she gained something this time.
Shaking her head, Ying decided to continue to do the commission from the Adventurer's Association. After all, she had no work today.
"Welcome to the Adventure..."
"Traveler, this is your commission for today. Also, this is the new monster investigation mission added by the Adventurer's Guild."
Catherine handed over the daily commission to Ying as usual, and also took out a new task for Ying to look at.
"Monster investigation mission?"
Paimon picked up the task that Catherine took out with confusion.
"It's like this. Recently, adventurer associations in various places have detected that a new and unrecorded monster has appeared out of nowhere in ruins, suburbs, and even in a few treasure chests in towns. Now the adventurer association is in a hurry to update the adventure guide, so they need to collect the materials of these monsters."
Catherine explained to Ying and Paimon.
Since there are very few monsters in the treasure chest, and other forces besides the Adventurer's Guild are also paying attention to the newly emerged monster species, the Adventurer's Guild, which has difficulty obtaining monster corpses, has made little progress in its investigation of the monster, and even how it was formed is still in the speculation stage.
"Treasure Chest Monster..."
Ying and Paimon looked at each other. They already knew who did it.
It’s just that I’ve never really encountered this kind of monster before, so I didn’t pay too much attention to what Liu Bai said.
Ying became furious at the thought that the gorgeous treasure chest she had found after working so hard to decipher the puzzle might be a monster.
"I'll take this mission. I'll go outside and open the treasure chest later. I'm going to catch one alive and throw it in Liu Shazi's face!"
Ying accepted the task with gritted teeth, and then took Paimon out of Mondstadt.
She decided to explore some places with many treasure chests, such as the Wind Dragon Ruins and Dadaupa Valley.
"Traveler! I've been looking for you for a long time. How are the wind wings I gave you last time?"
But just when Ying was about to go out, Amber, who hadn't been seen for a few days, ran over and asked.
“It feels good and convenient.”
Ying nodded in response.
She couldn't fly by herself now, but with the wings of wind it would be much easier for her to move around.
"It looks like you're having a lot of fun with the Wind Wings."
"But then again, you don't have a pilot's license yet, do you?"
Amber asked after nodding happily.
"Pilot's license? What's that?"
Another term I've never heard of before, Paimon asked in confusion.
"You can tell from the name, right? You can only fly properly in Mondstadt if you have a pilot's license."
Amber briefly explained the purpose of the pilot's license.
After hearing Amber's explanation, Ying nodded in understanding, then put her hands on her hips and looked at Paimon.
"It must be Paimon. She has been flying around Mondstadt without a permit for half a month. Catch her."
As Ying spoke, she secretly moved towards Amber and stood opposite Paimon.
"Eh? But I don't know!"
Paimon was startled and waved his hands quickly.
"Don't be afraid, Paimon. A pilot's license is only for the Wind Wings. You're not flying with the Wind Wings, so you don't need a pilot's license."
"It's the traveler, because you're flying around the city all day long that everyone noticed you!"
