Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

With nothing to do, Lin Mao held the back of his head and looked at the girl Yakoda in front of him.

"I happen to be free right now. What are you doing on Xixi Island? Tell me and maybe I can help you finish quickly and go back sooner."

“Um…” Yakoda scratched her head, swayed her body, and said embarrassedly, “Actually, it’s nothing serious. We just came to Xixi Island to look for a lost animal. The other party paid us, so we felt bad turning away our guest.”

"But we can't let the boss handle such a small matter, so it fell to me, Yakoda."

"An animal?" Lin Mao stroked his chin. "What kind of animal?"

"The customer described it as a white kitten with different colored eyes, and importantly, it had a collar around its neck!"

Snapped!

As Yakoda was describing, Lin Mao suddenly snapped his fingers, causing space to distort. When the distortion ended, an animal matching her description appeared before her.

"Meow~"

Claudio, clutching her mission objective, left Xixi Island with a bewildered expression. "That's... over?"

Looking down at the kitten, Yakoda was a little confused. She had planned to conduct a thorough search of Xixi Island, but the mission target had been found shortly after she arrived.

"I've met a good person!"

Yakoda waved behind her.

"Come visit the Secrets Museum in Naxia Town when you have time, and I'll treat you to some of Naxia Town's delicacies."

"..."

"Is this what you experienced on Xixi Island?"

"Yes boss!"

A woman with long, dark green hair and two long, fair legs that were exposed stood before Yakoda, giving off a viper-like aura.

Looking at the cat she brought back from Xixi Island, everything matched the customer's description.

"Really? Are you sure you didn't buy it from somewhere and then make it yourself according to the description?"

"Oh dear! Boss, just believe me!" Yakoda complained, "I never expected to encounter something like that before I went. You don't know how I was facing two people in a big battle, and I was almost killed by the aftershocks of the fight."

“Boss, you should have seen it too, such a huge thing, right above Xixi Island. I bet everyone in Nordkalai saw it… This cat, he conjured it up by snapping his fingers after hearing my description.”

"Oh, right, I have another piece of information. The guy who fought Brother Lin Mao came out of the Wild Hunt, and he can talk!"

The owner of the Secret Chamber, Nefer, suddenly became serious. "Is what you said true?"

“Yes!” Yakoda nodded. She had seen it all with her own eyes, and there wasn’t a single lie in it.

Nefert lowered her head. "Interesting. It can talk, and it seems to be a Wild Hunt with self-awareness..."

Looking up at Yakoda, he asked, "Was that special Wild Hunt dealt with by the Brother Lin Mao you mentioned? Do you know anything about him, such as his background?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that."

Nefer narrowed her eyes, staring at Yakoda like a venomous snake. "Do you really not know, or are you unwilling to tell your boss?"

Yakoda tensed up. "I really don't know! All I know is that he said the Mora he got in exchange for the information was sent to Nata, the Smoke Lord, and Grandma Obsidian! That's all I know!"

"Nata, Smoke Master, Obsidian Granny?"

"Yeah, boss, do you know who Grandma Obsidian is?"

Nefer glanced at Yakoda indifferently, "Grandma Obsidian is a big shot in the Lord of Smoke Mystery, and basically holds an undisputed position in the Lord of Smoke Mystery."

“Since he knows her and even uses her address to receive Mora’s gifts, he must be a big shot in Nata.”

"But what kind of powerful figure possesses such power? Isn't that place constantly plagued by the abyss? How could they possibly have time to come to Nodcalai?"

After thinking for a moment, Nefer tossed a bag of Mora to Akoda. "Take this and send it to Grandma Obsidian. Not a single Mora can be missing from this bag, understand?"

Yakoda, who had been all smiles, immediately frowned. "Boss! Brother Lin Mao promised me! Part of it is mine!"

Snapped!

Nefer gave the other person another portion of Mora, though it was much less than the previous bag, but it was enough to bring a smile back to Akoda's face.

"thank you boss!"

"Your brother Lin Mao is quite good to you."

Nefer shook her head. "Go ahead. When you have time, invite your older brother to the Secret Archives. My favorite thing to do in my life is to make friends with important people like him."

"Boss, isn't your favorite thing to do to make people owe you favors?"

"Ok?"

Nefer's face darkened as she glanced at her. Yakoda's expression changed, and she quickly left the Secret Chamber.

……

the other side.

Lin Mao was lurking in the group chat, which included people near Tiwat Nodkale.

Everyone is talking about the giant sword made of flames that just appeared above Nordkale.

【Ding dong! 】

Star: Nordkalai? A giant sword made of flames?

Xing: No need to guess anymore, the target is Lin Mao. That guy ran into someone who offended him again when he went to Colombia.

Lin Mao: You guessed right.

Obsidian Grandma: No, that huge sword, the kind that looks like it could sink an island, was... made by Lin Mao?

Ying: What's the big deal? You've seen how Lin Mao dealt with the Abyss before.

Obsidian Grandma: She was very indifferent at that time, and there was no sense of awe like when she saw it!

Kiana: @Kutar, Columbia, what just happened between you and Lin Mao?

Lin Mao: Why didn't you just ask me?

Ying: It's better to ask someone else than you.

Kutar: I don't know.

Alicia: You were with Lin Mao, didn't you know?

Kutar: I'm inside the cave, and Linmao is outside.

Alicia: ...

Kiana: ...

Xing: What simple and unadorned language!

Kutar: Is there something wrong with what I'm saying?

Xing: No problem! Absolutely no problem!

Lin Mao: In the end, you still have to ask me.

Kiana: Never mind, I won't ask anymore.

Ying: We must stop Lin Mao from doing what he wants to do, and we must insist on doing what Lin Mao doesn't want to do!

Xing: Well done!

Funina: So what exactly happened?

Lin Mao: I met a guy who was good at disguising himself. He read my overflowing thoughts and pretended to be someone around me, wanting to obtain the sacred artifact of the Frost Moon Child on Xixi Island - Moon Essence - through me.

Lin Mao: It's a pity that the person he impersonated could never possibly be in Teyvat, and yet he acted so... politely.

The main issue is the latter. If he were to punch Qingque right away, Lin Mao would suspect that Qingque had actually encountered spatial turbulence and accidentally ended up in Teyvat.

As a result, the other party even greeted each other when they met.

Simply outrageous.

Qingque was not so polite to Lin Mao.

According to her, since they already know each other well, why bother pretending to be polite?

Lin Mao felt that this made sense, so he used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms on her buttocks.
