Chen Luo: Better Throw Venti Out of the Sky. (Fourth Update) (cont.)

"Plans?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"What are your plans?"

"You've worked so hard to earn Primogems, but once you're invincible, what do you plan to do? Continue running the bar? Continue adventuring in countless worlds? Or what?" The Herrscher of Knowledge's smile remained, but it seemed to have lost its original carefree nature.

From the perspective of those Herrscher of Knowledge, such a life is indeed very interesting, meeting people from different worlds and traveling to different worlds.

But there is a moment when the journey ends, isn't there?

"Hmm, get into a good university," Chen Luo said after a moment of contemplation.

"Hmm... Huh? What did you say?"

"I said get into a good university, Xiao Shi, you haven't forgotten, have you? I'm about to be a senior in high school, so naturally my studies should be my priority," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Ha, you know what, I almost forgot." The Herrscher of Knowledge said, rubbing her temples.

"But that's not what I meant. I meant what you plan to do after the journey ends?"

"The end of the journey... Xiao Shi, you don't really think the journey has an end, do you?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

"N-Nothing?"

"If I had to say, the end of the journey is home. After all, just like my parents, no matter how long they travel or do archaeological research, they will always come home after a while."

"Of course, before we go home, I still need to figure out how to get you an identity."

"Identity?" The Herrscher of Knowledge tilted his head.

"Yes, that's right. My parents will eventually come home after summer vacation or during summer vacation, so naturally they'll need to get you an identity at home. Otherwise, how can you live a normal life at home? Headquarters might have to keep you hiding, right?" Chen Luo said.

"I can live in your sea of consciousness, it's not a big problem?" The Herrscher of Knowledge felt a little strange.

Is this a problem?

"This is a huge problem, okay? Since I've already promised you that I'd give you a home, we should naturally treat each other as family. How can family members never see each other again?"

"Family..." This word lingered in the mind of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge in the past viewed this word as something extremely distant from them.

The Honkai World used to be vast, but there was truly no place for Herrscher of Knowledge to reside.

Traveling from place to place with a single ideology, one can never truly have a home.

If we're just talking about family, the relationship between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua is quite close, yet it's also unusually awkward.

Like a wisp of feather, though beautiful, it is out of place in the world.

Until that day, a boy reached out his hand to him.

"Hey, A Luo, let's steal all the clothes and shoes from the old lady's dorm room tomorrow while she's in class during the day. Let her taste what it's like to lose everything."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Huh??? Well, yes, that's possible, but isn't your thinking a bit too far-fetched? And isn't your idea of losing everything a bit too cheap?"

It was rare for Chen Luo to receive a task from the Herrscher of Knowledge, but it was also a task that was difficult to talk about, which made Chen Luo feel somewhat uneasy.

Isn't this just like a pervert stealing clothes from a girls' dormitory?

"Oh, right, what's my identity at home?" The Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly asked, interrupting Chen Luo in an instant.

"Woman... Pfft!" Before Chen Luo could finish his subconscious words, he was hit hard in the stomach.

"It hurts!" Chen Luo said, clutching his stomach and bending over.

It's just a daughter, just a status, why are you so concerned about it?

If you don't want to, you don't want to. Why hit someone?

However, after sensing the Herrscher of Knowledge's attitude, Chen Luo dared not reveal the relationship shown on his talent panel.

"Hmph! I want to be the older sister!" The Herrscher of Knowledge snorted coldly.

"Dream on, at most I'll have a younger sister," Chen Luo denied directly.

"Ah, I'm over 50,000 years old, and you want me to be your younger sister?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said unhappily.

"Laughable. Fu Hua is over 50,000 years old. What does that have to do with you, the Herrscher of Knowledge? You're only one year old, okay? You're not even a month old yet."

"Who, who said there wasn't a full moon?"

"Oh, so that's his first birthday," Chen Luo said expressionlessly.

"... Ahhh, I don't care, I want to be the older sister! If you don't agree, I'll jump off this building right now," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, pointing to the ground below.

"Okay, jump! Remember to fill the crater after you jump, and don't hit anyone," Chen Luo thoughtfully reminded him.

"... Do you believe I'll throw you off here?" The Herrscher of Knowledge threatened fiercely after holding back for a long time.

"You know what, I really don't believe it. Besides, it's not like I can't fly." Faced with the threat from the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo simply gave up.

"Do you believe I'll throw Venti down there?"

"I believe that, but why did you throw Venti?"

"But I think he's the one who's most familiar with you, and also the one who's most familiar with me. The key point is that he was eavesdropping," the Herrscher of Knowledge said after thinking for a moment.

"!!" Venti, who had "accidentally" heard the sound carried by the wind, looked horrified.

How could this be detected?

No, I didn't eavesdrop. Feng just accidentally told me these things.

Can you call it eavesdropping when it comes to the wind?

However, seeing the murderous gaze emanating from Stormterror's shoulder, Venti chose another way to save himself.

"Jin, does the Sky Harp in your hand need repair?" Venti scooted over to sit next to Jin and pointed to the Lyre of Winds in her hand.

As long as there are these potential guests, Chen Luo should at least stop the Herrscher of Knowledge, right?

Venti understands Chen Luo quite well. In Chen Luo's eyes, there are few things more important than a commission, except perhaps those important friends.

I should be considered one of them, but if I were to pick a fight, I'd be asking for trouble.

Venti is currently with Chen Luo's customers, which means she has control over Chen Luo's customer traffic. At least Chen Luo will try to stop the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Ah, Lord Barbatos, can you repair the Lyre of Winds?" Jean suddenly felt a little nervous when she saw Venti approaching.

Qin is a very devout person, which may be related to her family or her father.

There was a joke in the taverns back in the day: the eldest son and daughter of the Gunnhildr Clan could recite "Forever Protect Mondstadt" before they could even say "Mama".

The zither is also one of them.

"Are you kidding me? Who am I? The one who repairs the Lyre of Winds..."

"That's great, then we don't have to trouble Chen Luo." Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

"..." Venti's confident smile froze on her face.

"Ah, let's just throw him off the Stormterror. This guy not only eavesdropped, but he also stole my commission." Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge turned around at the same time, looking at Venti with eyes that looked like they were looking at a dead man.

As mentioned earlier, few things are more important to Chen Luo than the commission.

"Repairing the Lyre of Winds ... of course not. I can use illusion magic to turn it back into its normal Lyre of Winds, but that's not repairing it. If Alo can repair it, then you'd better ask him." Feeling the murderous glare in those eyes, Venti instantly cowered.

Anyway, even if I did it myself, repairing the sky would be a troublesome matter. Since that's the case, let Chen Luo do it. Anyway, this guy wants to take on the commission, and I won't have to do anything myself. What a great thing!

"I see, then okay." Qin nodded.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. From now on, don't call me Barbatos anymore, just call me Venti," Venti said to everyone.

"Hey street singer, I'm curious about something. Aren't gods usually very powerful? Why do I always feel like you're exceptionally, exceptionally, exceptionally..."

Paimon wanted to say he was useless, but everyone around him was from Mondstadt and Ying wasn't there. What if he got beaten up?

"You're trying to say why I'm so weak, right? Just say it directly. Actually, the power of the Seven Gods comes more from the divine power generated after fulfilling their divine duties. I've always adhered to a policy of freedom, and the affairs of the Mondstadt people should be managed by the Mondstadt people themselves, so my divine power is very little, which is why I seem relatively weak," Venti explained.

This is the answer Paimon wanted to know, but no one could determine how accurate this information was.

Anyway, Chen Luo, who was listening happily in front, didn't believe it.

Before Chen Luo could refute, the Stormterror, which was cutting through the wind, gradually slowed down because they had already reached the Whisperwind Plains.

Stormterror's speed is no joke, and just now, Venti also bestowed the power of the Anemo Archon Familia Member back upon Tevyat, making Tevyat fly even faster.

So, not long after, Chen Luo and the others got off the car near Fengqi.

We can't go any further. If we fly any further, we might be discovered by the citizens of Mondstadt City. It's not a good idea for others to observe Tevyat's identity right now.

"Here, take this back." After seeing Venti say goodbye to Stormterror again, and Stormterror quickly take off and disappear from sight, Chen Luo tossed something to Venti.

"Hey, hey, don't be so rude."

Seeing Chen Luo treat her important possession so rudely, Venti quickly took it from his hand and glared at Chen Luo.

"What's that? Is it delicious?" This was Paimon 'Paimon first thought when he saw Chen Luo and Venti exchanging glances.

"It's just an ordinary Gnosis, nothing important, and not even food. All you ever think about is eating." After putting the Gnosis into his pocket, Venti rolled his eyes at Paimon.

"The Gnosis, what is that?"

"Alright, alright, stop asking. Let's get back to Mondstadt City." Venti didn't really want to bring up this topic.

It's not that Venti doesn't trust Paimon and the others, but Venti feels that with Paimon's little brain, she would forget these complicated things in three seconds.

Paimon only remembers things related to food.

Oh, and there's also fire.

The promise Chen Luo made to Venti was to let Chen Luo see Venti's Gnosis and play with it for a while.

Venti found the request strange, but out of trust in Chen Luo and because she didn't value the Gnosis, she eventually lent it to Chen Luo to play with for a while.

But what's so fun about this thing?

After hearing that it wasn't food, Paimon didn't show much interest in the so-called Gnosis and the like. Of course, the bigger reason might be that Luminous wasn't by Paimon's side, Paimon really wasn't very enthusiastic about other things.

The idea of a hero slaying a dragon receiving praise and being welcomed by the people lining the streets is something that could never happen to Chen Luo and his companions.

In fact, because Chen Luo single-handedly pushed through the entire plot, the Knights of Favonius didn't need to search for Tevyat's Tears at all. Therefore, before resolving the Tevyat issue, very few people knew about it.

So when Chen Luo and the others returned to Mondstadt City, everything was exactly as it had been before. The only difference was that the sky above Mondstadt, which had been somewhat dark and shrouded in strong winds, was now clear with the sun shining brightly.

This also indicates that the storm in Mondstadt has ended.

Seeing this, Qin did breathe a sigh of relief. Although she had indeed defeated the Stormterror and brought it back to its senses, it was only after seeing the storm completely over and people gradually leaving their homes that Qin felt the event was truly over.

"The storm in Mondstadt is finally over. Jean, your paperwork should be much less, and Lord Diluc's tavern business should return to normal. It's a win-win situation," Lisa said lazily.

Lisa felt that she didn't need to appear at all this time. She finally decided to make a move after being persuaded by her friend, but ended up watching nothing the whole time.

Oh no, there was something I gained too. When I got off the Stormterror, I saw a dragon scale stuck in a crevice, which was in a state of being detached.

It felt like a newly grown dragon scale being pushed out by a dragon scale that had been partially plucked.

Lisa accepted the dragon scale with a smile.

I've really had a tough time. I'll go back and continue slacking off... Time to get back to work.

Or perhaps I could use this honor of being Mondstadt hero to apply for paid leave?

As stated in the bounty section, the bounty will close at 24:00 on May 5th.

In other words, it's over.

Of course, since I forgot to remind you yesterday, the actual deadline is calculated up to midnight tonight. This is to prevent some readers from forgetting the deadline and voting in the morning, which would be a huge loss, right?

I've already reminded them again, but we really can't delay any longer.

If this drags on any longer, even more will be added. I was hoping to find some time to play the new storyline in the Elysian Realm, but it's been constantly being updated, and I haven't had time to play it. It's so frustrating.

I will take a screenshot at midnight tonight and put it at the end of the last chapter tomorrow.

Finally, here is a screenshot from yesterday at midnight.
