Chapter 311 Mu Feng: I have two pieces of good news
The captain in charge of debt settlement stepped forward respectfully and gestured for the three girls to proceed.
Although Lynette's rank was no higher than his, aside from Elodie and Clementine, the squad leader still showed no sign of slacking off.
After all, when traveling, this cat-eared girl represents the House of Hearths and the authority of the fourth executive.
Regardless of the secret discord between the second and fourth seats, on the surface, they still need to present an atmosphere of unity within the Zhi Dong family.
Uh... of course, if you run into that Sixth Seat or something... then you can only consider yourself unlucky.
The squad leader was quite self-aware; he didn't think that if he angered the Fourth Seat, the "Doctor" would have the time to bother with the life or death of an unknown nobody like the "Servant."
In the Kingdom of Winter, tears are not believed. To become a squad leader, the ability to read people and read their expressions is an essential survival skill.
However, upon hearing him introduce himself, the pink-haired girl's previously cheerful expression immediately fell, and she pouted.
"Hmph, stop with the pretense. Go back and tell Dotole that we'll settle accounts with you sooner or later for the Winter Plan!"
Clementine stood with her hands on her hips, her small face tense, and a sharp glint flashed in her large, lake-green eyes. Although she was petite, the imposing aura hidden in her crisp voice was in no way weak.
Don't be fooled by the girl's usual gentle, lively, and innocent demeanor; that only applies to her family.
Facing "Doctor," her former mother's accomplice and now their political enemy on the harsh winter plan, Clementine is not going to stoop to putting on a friendly face.
Hmph, if she can't beat Dotore, she'll shake Pepe. If Pepe can't beat him, she can shake Brother Mufeng. She's not afraid at all.
Moreover... someone who follows that "Doctor" guy to do human experiments is probably not a good person.
Stared at by Clementine's fierce gaze, the squad leader subconsciously took two steps back, cold sweat beginning to bead on his forehead.
No, this doesn't seem to be what the script said.
Shouldn't they appear amicable on the surface while secretly displaying their social skills? Why is this seemingly harmless executive adjutant acting out of line?
The debt collector was sweating profusely, wondering if the next part would be something like "I don't eat dates" or something similar.
"Alright, alright, Clementine, don't forget, we have important business to attend to, let's not waste any more time."
Elodie gently patted Clementine's shoulder, her large, amethyst-like eyes curving slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness.
If it had been delayed a few more days, that unreliable older brother would have been completely devoured by the beautiful girls of Sumeru.
The pink-haired girl pouted slightly, weighing the provocation of "Doctor" against meeting someone sooner, and then stuck out her tongue and made a cute face in frustration.
"Hmph... Fine, you're lucky. I'll let you off the hook for now since I'm in a pretty good mood today."
Clementine put her hands on her hips, bared her teeth, and waved her small fists threateningly in the air. Her face was tense, like a panting kitten.
The girl's eyes darted around, and suddenly a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
Upon hearing this, the squad leader felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He had known there were still many good people in Teyvat...
"Throw them all into Port Ormos and let them soak for a few hours."
Debt Settlement Team Leader: ...So we should thank you for not throwing us all into Daocheng Forest to feed the crown-of-thorns crocodiles?
……
Shaking off the crowd of fools who came to greet them, the three girls flashed a few times and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
As members of the House of Hearths, tracking and counter-tracking were their specialties. Before long, the Fools who were secretly keeping watch were completely outmaneuvered by Clementine and her two companions.
The welcoming party, which was in the public eye, returned empty-handed, and the hidden sentries were all shaken off. With no other option, they had to return to report.
Tonight, a few more people will quietly appear on the specimen display case; it all depends on the professor's mood.
"Report: All recorded suspicious persons have been cleared out. Currently, there are three members remaining in the vicinity, ready to be deployed at any time."
Lynette reported expressionlessly until Clement's hand silently touched her ear, at which point the humanoid cat's expression changed by a few pixels.
Fengmaomao pursed her lips slightly, and her tail drooped down in a circle, as if silently protesting someone's tyranny.
"Lady Clementine's plan was very successful. According to calculations, what just happened was not what they expected."
The pink-haired girl, who was happily rubbing the cat's ears, suddenly looked up with a clear expression. "Plan? What plan?"
She simply doesn't like people with PhDs.
However, after thinking about it, Clementine put on a serious and inscrutable expression. Yes, that's right, all of this was part of her plan to lure away Dotole's men!
If it was just a lucky accident, her image as a parent in Lynette's eyes would be completely ruined.
Elodie covered her face and sighed helplessly.
If Clementine is concerned about her image, she'd better remove her hand from the cat's tail a little; that would be more helpful.
Hmm... While petting cats does make people feel good.
"So, our next plan is..."
……
Meanwhile, inside Sumeru City, at the Order of the Monarchy.
Mu Feng rubbed his aching waist, which was still a little sore from being pinched, and walked out of Jing Shan Palace, leaning against the wall with lingering fear.
Clearly, the little god, who had been angered, was kicked out of the house.
"System, your simulation is still too demanding on skill. Do you have a simpler and more powerful way to beat it that you could recommend?"
Mu Feng grinned, and to be fair, the look in Little Naxi Da's eyes, as if she was about to grab him and lock him in a dark room in the consciousness space, didn't seem to be entirely a joke.
Otherwise, we should just run away. He doesn't believe that once he gets to Mondstadt and latches onto Yingmei, he can't cause any more trouble.
[Some hosts, yes, there are definitely more than one such powerful simulation; there are nine in total, each ranking as a T0 in the current Teyvat Arena rankings.]
Mu Feng's lips twitched. He shouldn't have expected this damn system to come up with any decent solutions.
However, the important thing now is to go to Port Ormos; Nurse Siegwen and Silly Fou will arrive tomorrow.
However, upon arriving at the entrance of the Order of the Church, they bumped into Kavi and Elhesen, who were walking towards the Sage's Office.
The two were already used to someone freely entering and leaving Jingshan Palace, and greeted each other with normal expressions.
As for the old fogies in the Church of Christ saying things like blasphemy... do you think the gods themselves have any objections?
"Oh, by the way, Elheisen, I have good news and even better news. Which would you like to hear first?"
After exchanging glances, Mu Feng seemed to suddenly remember something, and with a mysterious smile, he approached the two of them.
Kavi looked curious, while Elhesen remained expressionless as always, simply replying casually, "Whatever."
"The good news is that your resignation has been approved."
Elhesen raised an eyebrow and a rare smile appeared on his lips; this was indeed good news.
Not having to deal with endless piles of tedious official documents, and being able to leave work on time every day—that's the ideal way to work.
As for his salary? Well, he's already financially independent.
"So, what's the better news?"
A strange smile appeared on Mu Feng's lips, while a subtle feeling arose in Kavi's heart.
He was all too familiar with that expression; usually, when Mu Feng showed that expression, someone was about to be in trouble.
"Ah, this is even better news! Congratulations on your promotion! Tomorrow you'll officially be a Great Sage!"
