Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

Hu Tao blinked; she had an idea.

Witch A in the chat group complained that she was stupid. Pshaw, she's not stupid at all; she just thinks she's not smart enough.

"In short, she doesn't seem to think Lin Mao is stupid or that he can't handle the situation in Mondstadt. The reason she doesn't let Lin Mao go to Mondstadt is simply because she doesn't want him to get close to her daughter."

This information can be gleaned from the chat group, from Alice's conversations with others.

It's not a secret, and no one else intended to hide it.

Hu Tao counted on her fingers, "Lin Mao couldn't go because of the witch's daughter, and he was considered by the other party to be not smart enough to solve problems..."

"Then why don't I go with Lin Mao?! I'll keep an eye on Lin Mao for Miss Witch, and Lin Mao will take care of dealing with the Mondstadt matter!"

I'm so smart!

Hu Tao gave herself a thumbs up.

So, the witch's perception of herself as stupid is just that; in reality, she is not stupid at all.

Little did he know that, in addition to being the head of the Rebirth Hall, he also held the title of "Dark Doggerel Poet of the Alley School".

That's enough to prove their intelligence.

Unfortunately, these people don't know that.

Hu Tao regretted that her talents were not discovered by these people, but she didn't dwell on it and shared her plans in the chat group.

Alice fell into deep thought after reading it.

"Could this guy really be a genius?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I was just expressing my feelings.

Had I really misjudged him? Was it really just that Hu Tao's aura was similar?

Meanwhile, Hu Tao and Lin Mao started chatting again; she was so bored in Liyue Harbor that she was practically a couch potato.

I need to go outside and turn over.

Although she could easily go to Mondstadt on her own, regardless of what others think, that would only make her a tourist, taking a quick look around Liyue before leaving.

This time it's different.

Travel to Mondstadt on behalf of Iris.

Iris clearly holds a significant position in Mondstadt.

This is a great opportunity not only to have fun, but also to strengthen your connection with the Mondstadt official team!

This was to pave the way for the future expansion of the temple's business to Mondstadt!

Kill two birds with one stone!

【Ding dong! 】

Master of the Hall of Rebirth: How about it? Let's go to Mondstadt together and get this done.

Master of the Hall of Rebirth: Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits. If the Hall of Rebirth gains a foothold in Mondstadt, I'll give you a cut!

For every transaction completed at the Rebirth Hall, a portion of the Mora earned must be shared with Lin Mao.

Lin Mao doesn't need to go out and run business yet.

It's like making money while lying down.

Lin Mao: Also...

[Ding! Request detected—Take it seriously!]

[Introduction: Walnut, the head of the Hall of Rebirth, invites you to join her on a journey to Mondstadt to resolve Aerith's troubles and, incidentally, establish connections with the Mondstadt authorities, laying the groundwork for the Hall of Rebirth's future business expansion... to grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories!]

[Compensation: One million Mora & shares in the Mondstadt branch of Future Rebirth Hall]

Client: Hu Tao

[Would you accept the commission?]

Yes or No

"Take it seriously?"

Lin Mao scratched his head, not expecting the system, which had been dormant for some time, to pop up at this moment.

Meanwhile, after thinking it over, Alice spoke up again in the group chat.

【Ding dong! 】

Witch A: No.

Witch A: It's not enough for just you to be watching.

Not safe enough.

Master of the Hall of Rebirth: Isn't it safe enough to have me watching over you?

Star: Of course not.

Xing: If Lin Mao were to unleash his beastly nature, he would take care of you as well.

Lin Mao: Hmph! I, Lin Mao, a dignified and upright gentleman, regard money as dirt, and possess an upright character and integrity...

Ying: Zheng...

Xing: What came to mind?

Ying: No! I didn't think of anything!

Xing: Ha, if you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you!

Xing: @Lin Mao, upright and righteous? I think you're all about being upright!

Lin Mao: ...

Lin Mao: Wait a minute, I remember you haven't been contacted by your parents about entering the Ten Kings Division twice, right?

star:!!!

The Lawbringer: Xing has parents? Weren't all her family members dead?

Master of the Hall of Rebirth: What a pity... why couldn't I have joined the chat group sooner!

Otherwise, we could have made a big deal!

Hu Tao slapped her thigh in frustration.

After taking the picture, he looked at the handprint on his thigh, his face twitched slightly, and he looked up and gasped.

Careless.

I forgot to stop.

At the same time, someone tagged her in the chat group.

The Law of Knowledge: @Master of the Hall of Rebirth, then you probably don't have a chance.

The Lawgiver of Knowledge: If I remember correctly, this guy was orphaned before he was born.

Master of the Hall of Rebirth: Before I was born... both my parents died?

How did these two get put together...?

Suddenly, Hu Tao thought of a word.

Master of the Hall of Rebirth: Posthumous child?

It seems that only this can explain what the Lawgiver of Knowledge said.

Master of the Hall of Rebirth: Then, will she have any health problems? I've heard that posthumous children often have various health issues.

Ying: Yes, he has a very low IQ, just like a baboon.

It felt like coming home to the planet that Dr. Original had visited.

Xing: You're talking nonsense!

Xing: I'm very smart! Let me tell you, I'm even a registered member of the Liberal Arts Society!

The Lawgiver of Knowledge: You? The Society of Broad Knowledge? Just a figurehead?

Having spent enough time in the chat group, those who understand the rules will naturally know what the 'Doctoral Society' is.

It's a place where a group of intelligent people gather to conduct research.

It's acceptable for Xingneng to have his name listed in such a place.

Those who understand the laws of nature should remain skeptical.

Xing: Hmm!

Xing proudly puffed out her chest, knowing that when she became famous in the =Doctor's Academy, she would have a similar reaction to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Although……

【Ding dong! 】

The Great Black Tower: It's nothing unusual.

Daheita: When I was on the space station, I wrote an article about her, and I don't know who uploaded it to the internet, and then it was included in the Boshi Society.

After all, it is currently the only known entity that still survives while containing a star core within its body.

Its value is self-evident.

The Great Black Tower: Currently, 'Stars' are a popular research item for the Academy of Knowledge.

However, due to Xing's identity, he is the pioneer of the Star Train and an anonymous passenger.

With the protection of her ancestors' reputation, and being a living, breathing human being, it's not easy for ordinary people to lay a hand on her.

Otherwise, anyone else would have been controlled by crazy scholars and subjected to all sorts of research.

【Ding dong! 】

The Lawgiver of Knowledge: Ah, studying objects.

That's not surprising.

Xing: Forget about research items, just tell me if I'm famous in the Erudite Society!

Estelle: I've seen this before too.

Big Black Tower: Slacking off?

Estelle: Hehehe...

When talking about what she knew, Aistar couldn't help but chime in during the group chat.

Estelle: Besides that, someone wants to contact Star through me, offering credits in exchange for Star as their research material to unravel the mystery of Star Core.

Star: One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... You think you can make me sell my ass for a mere million credits?

Xing curled her lip, looking down on whoever she thought she was.

A mere one million...

【Ding dong! 】

Estelle: One million credits?

Estella then sent a question mark, glanced at her previous message, carefully counted the zeros after the number, and immediately realized that she had made a mistake.

"..."
