Genshin Impact was written as Three-Body Problem, but due to delayed updates, Fou locked him in a da

"Oh? Looking for an author? Has he disappeared?"

Navia frowned slightly, her gaze shifting between Luo Xiao and Ou Fu, clearly somewhat surprised by this type of request.

While the Rose Society excels at solving various problems, finding missing persons is not their specialty.

She couldn't help but wonder why Ou Fu would choose the Rose Society to handle such a matter.

Ouf seemed to sense Navia's confusion; she bit her lower lip lightly, appearing somewhat uneasy.

“He hasn’t disappeared, it’s just…” Her voice hesitated slightly, as if searching for the right words, “It’s just that we at Steambird Newspaper can’t get in touch with him, and the readers are getting louder and louder in urging him to update his work.”

"After much thought, I've decided to ask you to help me investigate. I hope to find Mr. Xiao Xiao's contact information so that he can submit his manuscript as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, a glint of understanding flashed in Navia's eyes. She turned to look at Luo Xiao, a questioning look in her eyes.

Luo Xiao smiled slightly, secretly amused. He hadn't expected his anonymous writing to cause such trouble, with even the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper coming to him personally.

Fortunately, he was unaware of his own identity; he had only come to ask the Rose Thorn Society to help investigate it.

It's embarrassing that such a large newspaper doesn't even have the authors' contact information.

After learning about Ou Fu's purpose, Luo Xiao stepped forward and said to Navia, "This commission seems a bit unusual... Steambird Newspaper would actually commission us to find the residence of an author."

Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Ou Fu's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

To cover up her embarrassment, she quickly added, "Don't worry, this is a privately commissioned task. I will pay you the compensation you deserve on behalf of Steambird Newspaper; this is a deposit."

As she spoke, she handed Navia a bag of Mora that she had prepared earlier.

Navia took the Mora bag and roughly checked the amount of Mora inside. There were at least 10 Mora, which was already a considerable sum.

Ou Fu continued, "I will pay you the remaining amount at market price. It will be paid to you together after you complete the commission. What do you think?"

Navia looked at the Mora bag in her hand, then glanced at Luo Xiao.

She knew that if it were a regular request to handle civil disputes or protect important figures in society, she would agree without hesitation.

After all, the Rose Society is currently facing a cash crunch and urgently needs Mora revenue to sustain itself.

However, such investigations and locating of people definitely require the involvement of detectives.

Luo Xiao is the only detective in the entire Rose Society, and Navia is worried that his health might not be up to par, so she has been considering whether or not to take on this case.

She was struggling internally.

No way! Even if the Rose Society is short of money, we can't let Luo Xiao risk overworking himself to conduct the investigation.

After making her decision, Navia decided to refuse Of's request.

She took a deep breath, about to speak, when she noticed Luo Xiao looking at her quietly, his eyes shining with determination.

He seemed ready to accept the challenge.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Navia's heart.

She knew that Luo Xiao was thinking of the Rose Thorn Society and of her, but how could she bear to let him take the risk?

Luo Xiao noticed the subtle change in Navia's face, and a deep understanding and concern flickered in his eyes.

He gently reached out and tenderly placed his hand on Navia's hand, a silent comfort and quiet support.

"It seems this mission is somewhat special, but since it's a strong request from the readers, we at the Rose Society will naturally do our best." Luo Xiao's voice was calm and firm, and his eyes shone with an unwavering determination.

His words revealed a sense of responsibility and a commitment to the mission of the Rose Society.

After speaking, Luo Xiao leaned down, his breath gently brushing against Navia's ear, his voice low and gentle: "Don't worry, Navia, my body is fine now. Let's take this mission, it'll be alright."

His words were full of comfort and encouragement, as if telling Navia that no matter what difficulties lay ahead, he would be by her side.

Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Navia's eyes sparkled with emotion and trust.

She nodded, then turned to Ou Fu, her tone gentle yet firm: "Ms. Ou Fu, please rest assured, we will begin the investigation as soon as possible, and we will notify you immediately once there is any progress."

Her words revealed a professional decisiveness and a serious attitude toward the task.

A grateful smile appeared on Ou Fu's face, her eyes filled with trust in the Rose Thorn Society: "Thank you very much, Miss Navia. I believe the Rose Thorn Society will definitely be able to help us find Teacher 'Xiao Xiao'."

Her words revealed a sense of expectation and dependence.

Luo Xiao stood to the side, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He pondered in his heart how to handle this tricky situation, while also thinking about how to resolve this unexpected request without revealing his identity.

In fact, besides making Navia feel more at ease, Luo Xiao also had his own selfish reasons for letting Navia take on this task.

In a large city like Fontainebleau, the Rose Society is not the only organization that accepts commissioned tasks.

There must be other specialized detective agencies that specialize in investigating these kinds of cases.

Ou Fu chose the Rose Thorn Society for two reasons: firstly, she was familiar with the Society's reputation, and secondly, she didn't want the matter to be made too public.

After all, it's certainly disgraceful for a newspaper to be unable to contact its own authors.

Luo Xiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile; he already had a plan in mind.

As long as he accepts this commission, Ou Fu will temporarily refrain from seeking out other detective agencies to investigate "Xiao Xiao's" identity.

In this way, it would be difficult for Steambird Newspaper to find out "Xiao Xiao's" true identity.

After all, what's the difference between Zhou Shuren going to find Lu Xun and Conan going to find Shinichi? They could never find him no matter what.

He thought to himself that although this mission was tricky, it also provided him with perfect cover.

As long as he handles things carefully, he can ensure that his identity is not exposed, and at the same time help Navia solve the Rose Thorn Society's funding shortage problem.

[You have a new reader urging you to update; he can't wait to see you update again. You have earned 11 urging points!]

[You have a new reader urging you to update; he can't wait to see you update again. You have earned 12 urging points!]

【…】

Just as Luo Xiao was deep in thought, the system's notification sounds began to echo in his mind again.

It seems that the first issue of Steambird Newspaper's novel column has already gone on sale. In addition to the three thousand fans at the previous sales event, new readers and fans have started urging for more updates, increasing his "update value".

Luo Xiao gradually figured out the pattern of how to obtain update request points. For casual readers who had not appeared in the Genshin Impact game, they could only get 10-20 update request points for each update request.

NPCs like those in Genshin Impact can break through 100 update requests, and a few NPCs can even reach 500 update requests like Tian Tiezui.

As for the characters in Genshin Impact, such as Yae no Miko and Xingqiu, each time they request an update, they can provide thousands of update points.

A glint of light flashed in Luo Xiao's eyes. Don't underestimate the small amount of update points that casual readers can provide; there are just too many of them!

The 3,000 readers at the book launch alone provided 30,000 points for requesting more updates.

If 3 readers urge for an update, wouldn't that be enough to earn 30 update request points?

At this moment, Luo Xiao's mind was not only focused on calculating the "urging points" but also on reflecting deeply on her own identity.

He knew that his true identity was a secret, and once it was exposed, it might not be so easy to obtain update points in the future.

He might even be locked in a dark room by readers and forced to keep writing.

Therefore, in order to gain more update points and comfortably spread his Blue Star literary works in Teyvat, he must be careful to protect his identity while submitting his work.

Suddenly, Ouf took out a milky-scented note from her flowing bosom and handed it to Navia, who was sitting opposite her, smiling gently:

“Miss Navia, I have some clues about Teacher Xiaoxiao that I hope will be of some help to you.”
