My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early

In the early morning, Tingyun meticulously got herself ready at home.

Her ears and hair were neatly styled, and she was wearing newly bought casual clothes. However, unlike before when she wore flat sandals that covered her heels, she now exposed her entire bare feet, which were adorned with high heels.

Her ankles were slender and graceful, her skin smooth as jade, and her toenails were painted a delicate, shimmering red, looking perfectly suited for her age.

She had been pampering these feet for days, and now was the time to show them off to others.

Tingyun turned left and right a few times, nodding with great satisfaction.

Just then, the door to her home opened, and Qingni walked into her room.

"Did you know I was coming to go shopping with you? You've dressed up so beautifully."

Seeing Tingyun so carefully dressed, Qingni couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

She was already lovely, but now, after putting in extra effort, she looked even more stunning.

"Oh? You're here to go shopping with me?" Tingyun asked, sounding a bit confused. Then, with a look of 'regret,' she said, "I'm so sorry, but I really don't have time to go out today."

"It's that Ji Yuan fellow."

Qingni covered her forehead with a sigh, finding her friend's obsession with romance a bit troublesome.

However, she had to admit that Ji Yuan's courage in facing danger and his unwavering resolve when tempted were indeed quite appealing.

"Alright, alright, you go ahead then. I'll go to Chang'le Sky to try some new tea snacks."

Qingni waved her hand and left.

Tingyun patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I just want to confirm my feelings for Ji Yuan. Once I'm sure, I won't be so eager."

I don't believe a word of that.

Looking at Tingyun, Qingni thought to herself.

With this level of devotion, I doubt you'll ever change.

At Chang'le Sky, Tingyun arrived at their meeting spot half an hour before the agreed time.

Tingyun would never allow herself to ruin her appearance by rushing.

Standing outside a milk tea shop on the street, Tingyun held two cups of milk tea.

"This young lady is truly looking forward to it..."

Tingyun eagerly awaited Ji Yuan's arrival.

Thinking about the upcoming meeting, Tingyun's face grew a little flushed.

What would Ji Yuan look like? Would he be amazed by her appearance?

Would he let out a gasp of surprise?

Especially concerning her beautiful feet.

Even Tingyun herself couldn't help but admire her own lovely feet.

How could she best display the perfect curve of her feet to Ji Yuan?

Tingyun pondered this repeatedly in her mind.

Tilting her head, she looked around, trying to spot where Ji Yuan might appear.

Then, She saw two figures, one large and one small, walking arm in arm.

Tingyun's smile instantly froze.

Why isn't he alone?

Why did he bring Yanqing, the General's disciple?

With such a young child present, Tingyun's anticipation vanished instantly.

What kind of situation is this?

Tingyun silently picked up her phone and dialed Qingni.

Tingyun: "Qingni, are you still at Chang'le Sky?"

Qingni: "Yes, I'm having tea snacks here at Chang'le Sky. What's up?"

Tingyun: "Do you want to come shopping with me?"

Qingni: "What's going on? Did Ji Yuan stand you up?"

Tingyun: "No, it's not that... You'll know when you get here."

Her tone was somewhat dejected, and Qingni could hear it clearly over the phone.

Then, suppressing a giggle, she replied, "Okay, I'm on my way."

As they were chatting, Ji Yuan and Yanqing walked over.

"Miss Tingyun, good morning."

Ji Yuan greeted Tingyun.

Looking at Tingyun today, a flash of admiration crossed his eyes.

Tingyun looked even better than before. Especially since she had changed her shoes from before to black high heels, revealing the beautiful shape of her feet.

Beside them, Yanqing also greeted them very politely.

"Ah, what a coincidence, you arrived just as I did."

Tingyun replied with a smile.

She was happy to see the admiration in Ji Yuan's eyes. Especially how he pretended to be serious but kept glancing at her feet, which made Tingyun feel excited.

Quite satisfying.

Turning to Yanqing, her excitement lessened slightly, but she still asked him, "I didn't expect Young Master Yanqing to have time to come. We have to thank you for saving us when we defeated the Buli Ren leader last time."

"That was my duty, Ms. Tingyun, you don't need to thank me. Brother Ji Yuan invited me last night, and I came since there was nothing else going on,"

Yanqing said sheepishly, scratching his head.

Ji Yuan patted Yanqing on the shoulder.

When two corpses meet, there must be some assurance. He met Yanqing first today, and only after confirming that Yanqing would still be the Sword Master of Luofu a hundred years later did he feel at ease meeting Tingyun.

It should be much safer now.

Qiān Xún É Yī 2 Bā 1 Sì 1 Sān 14 Yī

As the three were chatting, Qingni also walked over.

Seeing Yanqing standing beside Ji Yuan, she almost burst out laughing.

Amazing, truly amazing.

"I'm late, sorry, sorry."

She walked to Tingyun's side and said to the three of them.

"You've come at the perfect time," Tingyun nodded with a smile. She then asked Ji Yuan, "By the way, Ji Yuan, what are you planning to buy for home renovation? I'll lead the way."

"Okay, then Ms. Tingyun, first show me where to get cameras, then automatic guard cannons, particle laser nets..."

Ji Yuan listed a string of names for weapons, equipment, and defense systems.

As soon as he said this, Tingyun, Qingni, and Yanqing all looked at Ji Yuan strangely.

Wait, why are you thinking of buying these first?!

Who buys these things when moving normally!?

Don't you start with daily necessities?

And the equipment you're buying, combined, is enough to convert your property into a fortress! Even the Cloud Knights would have a hard time attacking it.

Ji Yuan didn't feel anything wrong with their gazes.

Nothing is more important than life.

What's wrong with being safe?

Oh, right, Tingyun is also in danger.

Ji Yuan opened his mouth to remind her, "Um, Ms. Tingyun, do you want a set too? To defend your home thoroughly, that way it'll be safer."

Yanqing and Qingni looked speechless.

I don't think I need it...

Tingyun thought to herself.

However, when the words came to her lips, she nodded with a smile.

"That's fine, this humble woman is physically weak, so adding some defense to my home would indeed be good."

Qingni, standing to the side, pouted speechlessly.

Chapter 21: Procurement Activities

"Do you want to buy weapons? Let's go to the Artificer's Workshop! Oh, no need, there are people from the Artificer's Workshop here in Chang'le Sky, we can just ask them directly to make a request and they'll deliver it."

Hearing that they were going to buy weapons and defenses, the only one who was genuinely interested was Yanqing.

He grabbed Ji Yuan's hand and quickly walked towards Chang'le Sky.

"Sigh, if I had known Brother Ji Yuan was planning to buy defense equipment, Ms. Tingyun wouldn't have needed to come today. I could have taken you there myself."

Tingyun: "..."

She rubbed her forehead speechlessly, wishing she could stab Yanqing twice at that moment.

"Let's go, we should hurry too," Qingni quickly pulled Tingyun along and followed.

Tingyun and Qingni quickly caught up with Ji Yuan and Yanqing.

The four of them arrived at the Artificer's Workshop's shop in Chang'le Sky.

The Artificer's Workshop, like the Ten Divisions, is one of the Six Imperials of the Xianzhou, a department specializing in the invention and manufacturing of artifacts. The starships that fly within the Xianzhou are all products of the Artificer's Workshop. Besides daily necessities, the Artificer's Workshop has countless black technologies, whether it's energy generated from Suiyang, new laser weapons, or the manipulation of Golden Automatons, even the people of the Artificer's Workshop cannot explain it clearly.

The Zhu Ming Celestial Ark, with its highly developed Artificer's Workshop, was a renowned institution for metallurgy and manufacturing, comparable to the academies of Bielpoint and the Screw Nebula for those eager to learn these crafts.

In the Artificer's Workshop shops on Chang'le Sky, various offensive and defensive equipment were sold. While they didn't boast as many "black technologies," everyday defensive systems were readily available and even included installation services.

Naturally, installations of this kind were typically for spacecraft and starships venturing into outer space.

Installing a defensive system for a private residence was likely a first.

The four of them arrived at the Artificer's Workshop, and Yanqing immediately found the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Sun, it's been a while."

"Ah, it's young Yanqing. I hadn't even had a chance to notify you about the new sword I just finished crafting..." Before he could finish, the shopkeeper noticed the latest sword Yanqing wore at his waist and then glanced at Ji Yuan behind him, instantly understanding.

"So, this brother is your friend, young Yanqing."

"Yes, this is my elder brother, Ji Yuan. He's here to buy something today," Yanqing introduced to the shopkeeper. He then turned to Ji Yuan and said, "Elder Brother Ji Yuan, this is Shopkeeper Sun San."

"Hello, Shopkeeper Sun."

"Well, well, it's my pleasure to help a friend today. Brother Ji, your total purchase will be twenty percent off."

Tingyun walked up to Ji Yuan's side and said with a smile, "Twenty percent off? Shopkeeper Sun, young Ji Yuan is also a friend of this humble one. How about a little more discount?"

"Oh, it's Miss Tingyun. Since you've asked, all items will be thirty percent off." Shopkeeper Sun San, seeing Tingyun, gave Ji Yuan an even better discount without any hesitation.

"Come, young Ji Yuan, what are you looking to get?"

"That..." Yanqing was about to speak again when Qingni walked over and pulled him aside. "Yanqing, I'm a bit interested in the swords here at the Artificer's Workshop. Could you show me the swords?"

"Yanqing, don't get in the way here. Child, you should obediently come with me and look at what you're supposed to see."

Qingni gave Yanqing a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Yanqing didn't quite understand what she meant, but hearing that Qingni wanted to look at swords, he happily took her to see them.
