Chen Luo: That's Right, I'm with the Fatui!

"No, no, no, don't!" Paimon shook his head frantically.

Although Paimon is a little foodie, Paimon knows what he can and cannot eat. Things that even Venti can't eat are naturally out of the question.

"What exactly is this thing?" Venti finally asked the most profound question.

"Well, how should I put it? It's a negative emotion. Let's put it this way: if you lock someone in a dark, cramped, completely dark Little Black Room for a year, you can only produce one chocolate bar like this. This kind of thing can be said to be the darkest and most terrifying thing in the world. Well, except for inner demons." As Chen Luo spoke, he put the remaining 3/4 of the chocolate bar into his mouth, but did not chew it; he just held it in his mouth.

Even Chen Luo dared not eat this too quickly.

But when Chen Luo looked at the crowd, he noticed that their gazes towards him were a little strange.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. It's not like I locked him in the Little Black Room. I just got this by chance." Chen Luo quickly explained, feeling that he had been misunderstood.

"Sigh, I originally thought that what you said about being able to cook any dish was just an exaggeration, but I never expected that you could even use negative emotions as a dish. It's terrifying." Venti admitted that she had never respected anything before, but now Venti began to respect Chen Luo.

Is it possible that Chen Luo could actually use himself as a cocktail ingredient to create a Wind God's Liquor?

It's terrifying to think about.

"Hmm? To be made into a dish..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought after hearing Venti's words.

Prepare it as a dish...

Vegetable...

Chocolate bar...

Negative emotions...

Culinary Master...

Yes, since my cooking skills in the bar have been elevated to the level of a master chef, and I can turn anything into a dish, there's no reason why I can't turn negative emotions into chocolate bars.

Although I don't actually have a recipe right now, wouldn't I be able to experience the recipe by eating more of it?

After all, the materials were provided by myself...

Chen Luo shifted his gaze to the remaining 4,997 black chocolate bars in his backpack.

It took 180 crystals to divide 5,000 years of darkness, and then that darkness was made into 5,000 black chocolate bars.

For non-demons, the taste of this chocolate bar is simply the most unpalatable thing in the world, but for Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge, it is only slightly bitter, and then a little sweet, so it can be considered a decent Little Ling.

Of course, you shouldn't eat too much.

Eating too many desserts can cause tooth decay, and eating too many of these dark chocolate bars can cause headaches.

It doesn't make sense that the talent panel can make dark chocolate bars but Chen Luo can't, considering he's a culinary master.

Even if he ate 5,000 dark chocolate bars, he still couldn't figure out the recipe?

50,000 years of darkness requires 2,000 crystals, and with a 10% discount, it would cost 1,800 crystals. However, if you craft it yourself, you can save 1,800 crystals.

Consider the 180 crystals already spent as tuition fees.

"Venti, you're a genius!" Chen Luo couldn't help but exclaim.

"Huh?" Venti looked completely bewildered.

Chapter 154 Chen Luo: That's right, I am Fatui!

"We didn't manage to borrow the Lyre of Winds just now, but at least we got some information. The Lyre of Winds is indeed located inside the Cathedral of Mondstadt City," Venti said, glancing at Chen Luo who was eating a chocolate bar.

"Nonsense, of course I can't lend it to you. To borrow the Lyre of Winds, you need the signatures of the bishop and the acting captain," Eula said helplessly.

How utterly ignorant must one be to think they can just casually obtain the Lyre of Winds? Do you think the Lyre of Winds belongs to your family?

"But speaking of which, why did we choose such a secluded place to discuss this?" Paimon asked, looking puzzled.

Chen Luo and Paimon are currently discussing their issues in the most secluded and gloomy corner of a square. Although no one else can find them, the environment is not very pleasant.

"Please, what do you think you're talking about? Is it acceptable to openly discuss such issues?" Chen Luo said speechlessly.

"What are we talking about? Aren't we talking about borrowing the Lyre of Winds?" Paimon asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you hear what Venti just said? If you can't borrow openly, you can only get it by trickery. Tell me, how else can you get it by trickery besides stealing? By buying it?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the silly Paimon.

"Huh? Are you going to steal it?" Paimon's voice was loud at first, but it quieted down after Ying gestured for him to speak.

"What else can we do if we don't steal? The problem now is who will steal it?" Chen Luo said.

"Besides singing, I don't have any strengths to be proud of, and I'm all alone in Mondstadt. If I'm caught, there's no one to seek justice for me, so I'll definitely be punished severely," Venti stated first.

"Eula won't do either. Eula's identity is extremely sensitive. If she gets caught stealing something... then it's really over." Chen Luo subconsciously stood in front of Eula to defend Eula.

"..." Eula, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"But you're different, Traveler. You're a rising star of the Knights of Favonius who have contributed to Mondstadt City. If you make a mistake, a good explanation might be enough to cover it up. Besides, it seems the guards here go off duty at night." Venti whispered this little secret to Ying.

"But I didn't want to steal anything..." Ying said innocently.

"Manager..." Ying couldn't help but look at Chen Luo.

Ying remembered Chen Luo saying that as long as a person's wish is strong enough, he will help others fulfill their wishes. Since that's the case...

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Reward: 50 Primogem

"You guys really know how to take this commission to a whole new level." Seeing that Chen Luo had already issued the mission, Ying couldn't help but take another look.

This Ying is simply a genius! She's only known me for a short time, yet she's already learned how to boss people around.

"Alright, I'll grant your wish. You might not believe it, but I'm actually quite good at infiltration," Chen Luo said with a sigh.

Chen Luo's Stealth Master, a four-star item, has not been used since he obtained it, but now is the time to put it to good use.

"Very good, the candidates have been decided. There are still about two hours until dark, so we can infiltrate more smoothly tonight." Venti looked up at the sky and said after estimating the approximate time.

"Sigh, no need. Infiltration isn't something so inconvenient. A true infiltrator can enter and exit Mondstadt Cathedral during the day as if it were nothing." Chen Luo snorted coldly.

"Is it that amazing?" Venti exclaimed.

But Venti thought about Chen Luo's elusive bar again, and then she felt relieved.

"Then let's go to your bar and hear your good news." Venti was very pleased with Chen Luo's positive response.

"No, don't go to my bar, go to Angel's Share." Chen Luo suddenly interrupted Venti.

"Huh? Why?" Venti asked in surprise.

Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?

"I want to hear it all," said Ms. Venti.

"The lie is that I wanted to take the opportunity to visit Angel's Share Bar and learn from them how they run a successful bar..." Chen Luo said.

"I knew it, Alo, your bar really does give the impression of being Angel's Share." Venti had an expression that said, "I knew it."

"And what about the truth?" Ying asked from the side.

"Of course, it's to keep recruiting people into the Hero Squad," Chen Luo said.

"Huh? Do we need to recruit more people?" Venti asked in surprise.

"Otherwise what? What do you think I did besides helping you complete your mission? Wasn't it just to Eula's reputation during this operation? Do you think that if the four of us really saved Tevyat, how many people would believe it was us who saved him?"

"A bard who does nothing productive, a blond stranger, a black-haired stranger I've never seen before, and a sinner of Mondstadt..."

"Me too," Paimon said, raising his little hand.

"Oh, and there's also emergency food," Chen Luo said.

"This is not emergency food!"

"That's a cup."

"And what is a cup?"

"Don't worry about the details. In short, this five-person team just doesn't seem reliable, so we need to bring a more reliable person on board. That way, it will be easier to improve Eula's reputation, won't it?"

There's nothing wrong with focusing on doing great things in silence, but if you want to use this to get rid of a negative reputation or achieve other goals, then you need to promote it.

Rather than Chen Luo saying anything more, among the people present, only Ying had a slightly better reputation.

Simply put, these four people are going to save the world, but not many people believe it.

"So you chose Diluc, the Angel's Share? But will Diluc believe it?" Venti couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't this where your eloquence, bard, comes in? After all, Anemo Archon Barbatos God is the one who fools the Mondstadt people," Chen Luo said.

"Well, actually, there's no need for that. I can earn Mondstadt's recognition through my own efforts," Eula said, tugging at Chen Luo's sleeve.

"Look at what you're saying. Isn't it already hard enough that you're willing to believe in and join a completely unreliable team like ours?"

Honestly, if Chen Luo didn't know his team well enough, Chen Luo would have thought his team was unreliable.

Look at the monsters and demons in this team!

It's already a huge Eula, a normal person, was able to join in; Chen Luo almost moved to tears.

"You... I... I'll remember this grudge!" Even Eula couldn't find an excuse to hold a grudge against Chen Luo, so she could only say this dryly.

"If you really feel guilty, then bring me a few high-quality customers. Buying a set of alchemy equipment will also work. Alright, then you guys go to Angel's Share Bar and wait for me. I'll be right back." Chen Luo walked out of the shadows while chewing on a chocolate bar.

The chocolate bars made directly from the talent panel not only taste pretty good, but most importantly, the chocolate on them isn't real chocolate, so they won't melt and get all over your hands in hot weather, making them quite clean.

Most importantly, this stuff can enhance mental strength when you eat it.

It has to be said that this creation of the talent panel has truly captivated Chen Luo. No matter how you look at it, you can't find any fault with this chocolate bar. One chocolate bar represents a year of darkness after purification, and one chocolate bar is just enough for Chen Luo to digest the minimum limit.

It normally takes Chen Luo 10 minutes to slowly eat a chocolate bar. Eating it too fast can easily cause him to choke, at least that's how Chen Luo is doing right now.

It's conceivable that chocolate bars might become Chen Luo's standard accessory in the future.

That's fifty thousand sticks...

As Chen Luo slowly walked to the entrance of Mondstadt Cathedral, ignoring the strange looks from the two guards beside him, he stood quietly at the cathedral entrance.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" one of the guards asked in a friendly manner.

"Emmm, it's okay. Let me get myself together before I go in. After all, it's my first time entering Mondstadt Cathedral," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

After all, Chen Luo and the others haven't arrived yet.

Moreover, the person Chen Luo was waiting for hadn't left yet.

However, to be fair, the guards were quite nice, which is one of the more friendly aspects of Mondstadt.

Of course, it's also possible that those with tougher personalities went to participate in the expedition.

Suddenly, Chen Luo, who was standing at the door, had a thought and moved a few steps to the side.

The guard gave Chen Luo a strange look, and the next moment the door of Mondstadt Cathedral was pushed open, and two nuns came out.

"Rosaria, Present Tense's so early, why don't you come with me to the choir?" A blonde girl kept saying as she followed behind a tall nun with burgundy hair.

"Barbara, it's time to go home for the day," the tall nun in fishnet stockings said, glancing up at the setting sun.

"But Sister Rosaria, you have never attended a ceremony on time, and you never even attend choir activities." The petite girl Barbara seemed determined not to let the nun named Rosaria off the hook.

"Hmm?" Rosaria suddenly frowned and looked to the side.

The guard, who was suddenly stared at by an extremely sharp gaze, instinctively trembled.

"...Miss Barbara, discussing work matters after work is extremely inhumane." Seeing that there was nothing amiss, Rosaria's eyes instantly became lazy, and she continued walking briskly forward, trying to shake off this little troublemaker beside her.

Rosaria just wants to go to the Angel's Share bar, have a good drink, and then chat with the suspicious merchant she saw today to see if they need to disappear from Mondstadt.

As for the choir?

Nobody would want to go.

"Hmm, you have a really sharp sense of things." Chen Luo slowly emerged from behind the guard.

If it weren't for the Stealth Master's ability to conceal and hide his aura, Chen Luo would have seriously doubted that he might have been discovered by the other party.

As expected of one of Mondstadt City's Darknight Hero, his killing intent is truly intense.
