"Ding, the system has issued a new task."
"Dear host, the system is now issuing you a new task."
“Collect Mora”.
"According to the system's assessment, the task has been completed."
Submit?
"Confirm submission".
"Task submitted".
"Bling~ Congratulations on receiving the mission reward."
"What reward?"
Jiang Mu was somewhat curious.
"Reward has arrived, please sign for it."
Suddenly, the system's voice turned cold.
"Uh..." Jiang Mu was also startled by the mechanical voice.
"System...chan?"
"Hello, I am the system's backup program, sili, codename. The main system, Yan Tu, has entered a dormant upgrade state after receiving your Mora. I will now guide you."
"The system has been upgraded?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was delighted, but a faint sense of loneliness welled up within him.
Having just transmigrated to Teyvat, he still felt somewhat lonely despite his previous experience. During the long nights, his conversations with the little guy who called himself System-chan always brought a smile to his face.
Now, who knows how long it will be before we hear that little one's baby voice again.
"What's wrong?" Gan Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
For some reason, she always felt that Ji Mo was radiating an aura that didn't match his age.
That feeling is called loneliness.
"nothing……"
Jiang Mu shook his head.
"The business here is basically done."
Turning around, Jiang Mu addressed the group.
"Then I'll go to the General Affairs Department to report it first."
With that, Jiang Mu walked outside.
What's wrong with him?
Master Mao frowned.
Why does this kid suddenly seem different?
"have no idea."
Xiangling asked blankly, but looking at the lonely figure outside the house, she felt a pang of heartache for some reason...
"By the way, do you know where he lives?"
Suddenly, Master Mao asked.
"Home?" Xiangling stammered, "Isn't it just Qingce Manor...?"
“No, I’m talking about his hometown, or rather, his birthplace,” Master Mao shook his head and explained.
“This…” Xiangling shook her head blankly.
"I really don't know."
"Jiang Mu may not be a person of this world."
At this moment, Gan Yu, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Master Mao was surprised, while Xiangling lowered her head thoughtfully...
Based on Jiang Mu's previous behavior and his lack of common sense, Xiang Ling had basically come to believe Gan Yu's words.
“But…” Xiangling suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed intently on Gan Yu.
If Jiang Mu is indeed a visitor from another world, then what measures will Gan Yu, who bears the responsibility of protecting Liyue, and even the Seven Stars, take against this uncertain factor...?
Thinking of this, Xiangling couldn't help but feel nervous, and her hands clenched tightly.
"rest assured."
Looking at Xiangling's expression, Gan Yu knew exactly what she was thinking and chuckled.
"This news was personally conveyed to us by His Majesty the Emperor. He also told us to maintain friendly relations with Brother Jiang Mu."
"It's actually the Emperor himself!"
Master Mao was greatly surprised.
Gan Yu nodded.
"Seven Stars noticed him the moment he arrived, and I was the best person Seven Stars, after discussion, decided to send to make contact with him."
Upon hearing this, Gan Yuxiangling and Master Mao were horrified.
Could it be that the Seven Stars are planning to...?
"You're exaggerating a bit."
Gan Yu smiled.
"From my observation, my younger brother has no intention of overthrowing Liyue. On the contrary, he is using his actions to bring new life to the ancient Liyue."
"As a witness to this great feat," Gan Yu said with a smile, placing her hands on her chest, "I will always stay by his side, helping him and accompanying him. This is also part of the contract."
"Lord Gan Yu..." Xiang Ling exclaimed in shock.
"I have protected Liyue for thousands of years," Gan Yu smiled. "The years I spent by his side are only a small part of that time. But I have witnessed a tremendous change. This is the mission bestowed upon me by the Emperor, and it is also my destiny."
"..." Xiangling frowned slightly.
For some reason, although Gan Yu's words seemed flawless, why did this seven-star secretary always seem to have a sense of eagerness to try her hand at something...?
"So that's how it is..." Master Mao exclaimed, "It seems that the Rock King Emperor is truly shrewd and far-sighted..."
"The Emperor's vision is beyond our comprehension," Gan Yu said. "All we can do is build up our Liyue under his guidance."
Suddenly, she seemed to see that towering figure again before her eyes.
Master Mao and Xiangling exchanged a glance, and neither of them said anything more.
……………
"hello."
Without further delay, Jiang Mu took the document drafted by Yan Fei and headed towards the General Affairs Department.
"Hey, it's you again."
It was still Xiao Zhao receiving guests... no, it was her job, but Xiao Zhao seemed to have a deep impression of the former, recognizing him at a glance.
"What business are you here to conduct this time?"
Jiang Mu handed her the document.
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Zhao nodded, carefully checked the document, and then affixed the official seal of the General Affairs Department.
"Okay, here you go."
"It seems I don't have much work to do," Xiao Zhao said with a smile to Jiang Mu.
"It's really rare that Master Mao would agree to sell other people's food in Wanmintang."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu asked curiously, "Has Uncle Mao never encountered anyone with this kind of thinking before?"
“Yes, there are,” Xiao Zhao thought for a moment and said, “but those guys are basically there because of Wanmintang’s reputation. They want to use Wanmintang’s reputation to promote their own products.”
"this……"
Jiang Mu could only offer a polite yet elegant smile.
"But I must say, Master Mao is truly an extraordinary person..." Xiao Zhao exclaimed.
“Indeed.” Jiang Muxin nodded in agreement.
The reason why Wanmintang was able to survive the competition between the two major cuisines of Liyue and Yuecai, and to carve out its own niche in the Liyue culinary world, is closely related to Chef Mao's abilities.
Dissatisfied with the monopoly of high-end ingredients such as crabs and ham by the two restaurants Liuliting and Xinyuexuan, Master Mao set up his own restaurant, Wanmintang, which specializes in providing a variety of home-style dishes for ordinary people.
"If I were in Uncle Mao's position back then, could I have done as well as him...?"
Jiang Mu fell into deep thought.
Previously, from a gamer's perspective, he had always viewed everything in Teyvat from a kind of "God's-eye view," but now that he had actually traveled to this continent, the myriad aspects of life seemed very real.
"Forget it." Discarding those chaotic thoughts, Jiang Mu patted his face, forcing himself to clear his head.
Who can say for sure what happened in the past? Now, he just needs to do his best.
After all, he's a man with a system...
