Lumine Posts a Mission; Heading to Teyvat

As the student council president of Seidoukan Academy, she was also the second-strongest among the school's "Page One Twelve."

Ordinary people neither had the guts nor the means to hack into her communication device.

She immediately ruled that possibility out.

The price of using her Pure Star Brilliant Style Armament, Pandora, was experiencing different forms of death in her dreams.

So far, she had experienced death at least two thousand times in her dreams.

She often woke up abruptly in the middle of the night.

That was why she was still awake at this hour.

It was not that she did not sleep. She had simply died in another dream and been forced awake.

However, unlike before, this time, after waking up, an interface for a Chat Group had appeared before her.

"Could this really be a Chat Group connected to other worlds?" Claudia murmured softly in disbelief.

She had experienced countless death dreams.

She understood them very well. She was definitely awake now; she could not possibly still be dreaming.

Moreover, she had deliberately checked her communication device just now and found that it worked normally.

She had not found any signs of its data being tampered with either.

That left only one possibility: the Chat Group connected to other worlds before her was real.

Although it was difficult to believe, there was a way to verify it.

She could use the points in the group to strengthen herself or buy items.

From the members' conversation, points were an important currency in the group. They could be used to improve one's strength and purchase items in the group store.

"I'll try it first."

With that thought, Claudia used the group's Check-in function. She then spent all the points she received from checking in to strengthen herself.

In an instant, a faint warm current flowed through her body.

The Stellar Power within her seemed to increase ever so slightly.

"I really did get stronger, though the increase is tiny..."

Feeling the change in her strength, a trace of surprise flashed through Claudia's eyes.

This small improvement was practically negligible to her.

However, she had only used a few dozen points to strengthen herself.

If this tiny amount of points could bring her such an almost imperceptible improvement, what if she used more points?

Thinking of that, Claudia turned her gaze toward the group chat interface.

Claudia: Hello. May I ask if there is any way to obtain more points?

Lumine: Oh? The newcomer finally showed up. And judging by that message, she used points to strengthen herself and confirm whether the group chat was real. At least she has some brains instead of immediately questioning everything.

Su Luo: If you want points, aside from checking in, the only option is for members to post missions.

Wang Xiaomei: Does the newcomer urgently need power? If there is something you cannot handle, you can try posting a mission. People in the group will go help you solve it, and everyone can earn points too.

Claudia: Is that so? Mine is not really a major issue. I just need several strong teammates to form a team with me for a competition.

Saeko Busujima: A competition? What kind of competition?

Claudia: The Griffon Race...

Claudia spent some time explaining the Griffon Race and the power system of her world to everyone in the group.

This also let Su Luo and the others understand which world Claudia came from.

Wang Xiaomei: So that's how it is. It's that world.

Lumine: Honestly, the championship prize for your Festa being a conglomerate helping you fulfill a wish is decent for ordinary people, but to us, that reward is pretty shabby.

Kaguya Houraisan: Verdict: Not as good as the Holy Grail War.

Su Luo: That's easy. Even if you can't post a mission, any one of us could go over and beat everyone there with one hand tied behind our backs. Fan Xinglu is the only one who might be a little troublesome, but most people in the group can beat that old loli.

Claudia: Are all of you really that strong?!

Seeing Su Luo's message in the group, Claudia could not help widening her eyes.

Fan Xinglu, the student council president of Jielong Academy.

She looked like nothing more than a nine-year-old girl, but her actual age was at least a thousand years old.

Her strength was also acknowledged by everyone as the greatest.

Yet Su Luo was telling her that most people in the group could defeat Fan Xinglu. Was he sure he was not just messing with her?

Saeko Busujima: I haven't fought her, so I don't know. Still, she's worth trying. With the strengthening from over fifty thousand points, plus the swordsmanship and abilities from the treasure chests, even if I can't defeat Fan Xinglu, I should still have a forty-sixty chance.

Wang Xiaomei: By universal logic, Fan Xinglu may be strong, but only in your world. We are from other worlds, so by our standards... she's all right.

Su Luo: If you had joined the group earlier and participated in the previous two missions, I wouldn't say you could beat her senseless, but I could at least guarantee that you would fight Fan Xinglu to a draw, or have a forty-sixty chance.

Claudia: ...

Seeing Su Luo's message, Claudia's feelings instantly became complicated.

However, for now, this Chat Group had still given her a huge surprise.

Not only had it given her a bigger stage, but it could also help her improve her strength faster.

There was still a long time before the Griffon Race began.

That period should be enough for her to grow into a powerhouse equal to Fan Xinglu, or perhaps even stronger.

Claudia: Thank you all very much. However, the Griffon Race on our side has not started yet, so I'm afraid I'll need to wait a while before posting a mission.

Lumine Posts a Mission, Heading to Teyvat

Lumine: It's fine. We're not short on time. Just call us if you need anything.

To the members of the Chat Group, although the mission might be simple, it was fine as long as they could earn points.

Even if they could not earn points, they could still earn a favor.

After all, now that they had entered the Chat Group, the members' strength would improve sooner or later.

When they needed help themselves, they could ask the other party for assistance. The other party would not be in a position to refuse.

Lumine: Right, after daybreak, I plan to post a mission to purify Stormterror. Claudia, you can come with us. With us leading you, this mission won't be too difficult.

Claudia: Thank you very much.

Back to Su Luo's side.

After confirming the new member's identity, Su Luo chatted with everyone in the Chat Group for a while longer before closing the interface and enjoying a wonderful night.

Early the next morning.

Irisviel woke from her sleep.

She sat up and stretched lazily.

Last night's sleep had been the highest-quality sleep she had ever had since her birth.

She had slept until she woke naturally, feeling completely refreshed!

The blanket slipped off her body, and a sudden chill made Irisviel instantly realize her current situation.

"I..." Irisviel looked at Su Luo beside her. Recalling what had happened yesterday, her cheeks immediately flushed red.

"What's wrong? You woke up and no longer recognize me?"

"Or are you planning to deny everything after the fact?" Su Luo looked at Irisviel with an expression that said, So you're that kind of woman.

At that, Irisviel puffed out her cheeks slightly and said indignantly, "Of course not!"

"Besides, isn't that usually something women are supposed to say?"

"Who says men can't say it? Aren't there plenty of scumbag women out there who start relationships and then abandon them?"

First thing in the morning, Su Luo and Irisviel began bickering.

They looked like a loving married couple.

A while later, after washing up, Su Luo opened the group chat interface.

At that moment, Lumine had just posted a mission in the Chat Group.

Ding! Group member Lumine has posted a mission.

Mission One: Help Dvalin regain his sanity

Mission Reward: 20,000 points

Ding! Hidden Quest triggered

Mission Details: Repel the Abyss Order army attacking Mondstadt

Mission Reward: 50,000 points

Wang Xiaomei: Oh? The Abyss Order is attacking Mondstadt already? That's much faster than the game's progress. And judging by the amount of points, the scale of this attack must be huge.

Kaguya Houraisan: Lumine, can you guess what your brother's goal is?

Lumine: How would I know? He was a cryptic bastard in the game. Do you expect me to know what he wants in reality?

Su Luo: Who cares? Just fight!

After sending that message, Su Luo looked at Irisviel. "Illya, I need to head out for something. Tell Melly and the others for me."

"Where are you going? Should you bring Ria and the others?" Hearing that Su Luo was leaving, Irisviel immediately asked with concern.

"Don't worry. With my strength, it won't be that easy for anything to happen to me." Su Luo smiled reassuringly.

"Then I'm off."

With that, Su Luo vanished from where he stood.

Teyvat, Mondstadt.

Inside a tavern called Angel's Share.

Lumine, Paimon, Venti, Diluc, and Acting Grand Master Jean had gathered there.

Originally, under Lumine's deliberate guidance, she had planned to take Acting Grand Master Jean and Venti along to witness her and the group members purify the Abyss Power within Dvalin.

Her goal was naturally not the title of Honorary Knight. She simply wanted to make some Mora from the Knights along the way.

However, when she posted the mission, it unexpectedly triggered a Hidden Quest, forcing her to alter her previous plan.

"What is it, Traveler?" Seeing Lumine suddenly freeze in place, Acting Grand Master Jean asked in confusion.

"...The Abyss Order is about to attack Mondstadt City." After hesitating for a moment, Lumine revealed the truth.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Acting Grand Master Jean and Diluc were both stunned.

"Can you confirm it?" Acting Grand Master Jean asked anxiously.

"The Anemo Archon is right here. He can sense it." After saying that, Lumine turned her gaze toward Venti, who was trying to secretly grab some wine.

Seeing Diluc and Acting Grand Master Jean looking at him, Venti hurriedly put down the bottle and pretended he had done nothing.

Diluc sighed softly. "Ven... Venti, if you want to drink, I'll treat you after this is over. You can drink as much as you want."

"More importantly, regarding what the Traveler said, does the Abyss Order truly intend to attack Mondstadt City?"

Venti coughed lightly, still wearing that carefree expression. "The Anemo Element around Whispering Woods has become chaotic and violent. The Traveler is indeed correct."

He was actually feeling rather depressed too.

After all, he had originally intended to guide the Traveler according to his plans, turning Lumine into his worker and having her help purify the Abyss Power inside Dvalin.
