Back at the station, Mu Qingge immediately entered work mode.
She also took care of several matters that Fengyan had been indecisive about.
By the time everything was handled, dusk had fallen, and this body was truly exhausted.
Mu Qingge went to bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Qingge slept, but Jiang Mumu did not.
At this moment, she had already figured out how to interact with the game characters in the real world; not only could she interact with players, but for the game "Genshin Impact," she could also edit and add her own storylines.
Before, she never knew if she was part of the story, so she felt uncertain about everything she did.
Now it was different; her operational space had greatly increased!
If she remembered correctly, Tartaglia would probably head to the Golden House tomorrow to fight the Traveler, and then release Osial from under Guyun Stone Forest.
Liyue's storyline has many highlights, and Mu Qingge's identity could not be absent from the subsequent major battles.
And not only should she not be absent, but she also had to perform brilliantly!
There were many opportunities, enough for her to leave a deep impression on the players.
However, Jiang Mumu still felt it wasn't enough.
She planned to have another small climax before the main plot climax began, a climax unique to her.
Anyway, Liyue already had many grand scenes, so a little more wouldn't hurt.
---
It was also on this night that Jiang Mumu's other identity, Anqi, the First Adjutant under Capitano, the First Harbinger of Snezhnaya's Fatui, also arrived in Liyue Harbor.
Anqi came alone, without anyone accompanying her. She was still in the same attire as she was under the snowy mountains, and as soon as she entered the harbor, she attracted the attention of the Millelith.
To the Millelith's questioning, Anqi explained that she was looking for relatives.
After filling out a few basic details, she smoothly entered Liyue Harbor.
As expected of the City of Commerce, it seemed even more prosperous at night.
Anqi wandered around Liyue Harbor. Originally, she wanted to go to Wanmin Restaurant, but it was already closed at this hour.
So she casually found a restaurant, ordered a large table of delicacies, enjoyed a hearty meal, and then rested.
---
Time quickly arrived on the second day.
Mu Qingge got up early to wash, then called Feng Yan, gave him a few instructions, and then left.
She was not in a hurry to go to the Golden House, because the Traveler's progress was still far from that point.
That's right, she was now very clear about the Traveler and Paimon's progress.
As mentioned before, Jiang Mumu could play games.
And her game progress was different from the players' game progress; her game progress was real-time.
That is to say, as long as she kept up with the progress, her progress bar in the game "Genshin Impact" directly corresponded to Lumine and Paimon's progress on Teyvat.
They were still sleeping now.
The reason Mu Qingge came out so early was to go to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to apologize.
Yes, to apologize.
She had previously canceled the Millelith's arrest of Lumine and Paimon, but for some reason, one small squad did not receive the order.
They somehow learned that Lumine and her companions were with Zhongli, and seemed very familiar with him, so they aggressively went to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Then they got into a conflict with Hu Tao and were beaten out by Director Hu.
Mu Qingge only found out about this matter yesterday evening while working.
After understanding the whole process, Mu Qingge punished the involved Millelith with three months' salary, and also gave each of them several military floggings.
It wasn't that she had selfish motives, but that those few Millelith indeed went a bit too far.
Mu Qingge understood their agitation due to the death of the Geo Archon, but this was not a reason for them to neglect their duties.
She had already punished them very lightly.
As soon as Mu Qingge entered Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she saw Hu Tao sitting idly on a chair.
She wore a qiankun bagua hat, had plum blossom eyes, black nail polish on her slender fingers, a black robe that reached her waist, shorts, short socks, black shoes, red ribbons tied on her legs, and her Vision on her back.
The moment Mu Tao entered Hu Tao's sight, this lively Director Hu jumped up.
"Qingge, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Director Hu knew I was coming?"
"Hehe, of course. Many people saw what happened before. I originally thought you'd come yesterday."
Hu Tao secretly peeked at Mu Qingge's expression, and seeing that everything was normal, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me say this first, they were disrespectful to the deceased first and spoke harshly. I was just defending myself."
Mu Qingge was not old, not much different from Hu Tao in age. Although they didn't interact much normally, Mu Qingge really liked this energetic girl, Hu Tao.
And if you really thought about it, she and Hu Tao even had a business relationship, making her a distinguished guest of Hu Tao.
Some Millelith missions were quite dangerous, such as clearing out monsters and Treasure Hoarders, making accidents most likely.
"I am already clear about the beginning and end of the matter. I am not here to accuse, but to apologize on their behalf. Director Hu did nothing wrong; it was I who did not restrain my subordinates well. They, including their leader, have received their due punishment."
Mu Qingge and Hu Tao were similar in age, but their appearances were very different.
If one were to describe it, Mu Qingge was between an adult woman and a girl, tall enough but lacking the mature temperament, while Hu Tao had a girl's figure.
"The losses of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will also be our responsibility. I only hope that Director Hu will not have a bad impression of the Millelith because of this matter."
"Oh, what are you saying?" Hu Tao immediately waved her hand:
"I put that matter out of my mind long ago. 'Millelith are relentless, their defenses impenetrable; their city-armor protects, their might dispels evil.' This phrase is well-known in Liyue. I, Hu Tao, was actually afraid you were coming to accuse me; I have no other thoughts."
Mu Tao was pulled down by Hu Tao to sit, and the latter even extended her small hand to press on Mu Qingge's shoulder, as if giving a massage.
Upon feeling the hard, solid touch of the armor, Hu Tao quietly withdrew her restless little hand.
"Qingge, why do you always wear this... armor?"
"Recently, there have been many matters, and I need to appear at any time. Wearing this is more convenient, and this armor is extraordinary and not heavy; it's very comfortable to wear."
"Oh, by the way, Director Hu, is Mr. Zhongli currently at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
"You mean Zhongli? He went out early this morning; I wasn't even awake yet. I don't know where he went. What's wrong? That guy shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?"
"Director, you misunderstand. I'm looking for Mr. Zhongli for something else."
"..."
After chatting with Hu Tao for a while, Mu Qingge left Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
To her surprise, she ran into Yelan head-on.
"Yelan?"
Yelan nodded slightly, pulled Mu Qingge aside, and only explained after confirming there was no one around.
Mu Qingge couldn't help but frown after hearing everything.
"Hmm... Someone you couldn't keep track of?"
Yelan nodded gravely:
"The person's movements were very suspicious. Her name registered with the Millelith is Anqi, from Snezhnaya. This is her portrait; keep an eye out."
Mu Qingge took the portrait, glanced at it, and asked:
"A mask?"
"The person always wore a mask. That's why I investigated her, but unfortunately..."
Mu Qingge tucked the portrait into her embrace. It was quite well-drawn; she wondered who drew it, but it probably wasn't Yelan.
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
After Yelan left, Mu Qingge paused in thought: So it was Yelan who was following her earlier.
This 'her' was, of course, Anqi. When she came out of the restaurant this morning, she was being followed. To ensure the smooth progress of the upcoming plot, Anqi took some time to shake off Yelan.
One could only say, as expected of Yelan, her strength was truly impressive; it took her quite a bit of effort.
Mu Qingge would not participate in the next part of the plot; she had more important things to do.
According to the game's progress, Tartaglia was probably already preparing to scheme his way into the Golden House.
She needed to find a suitable reason to go at the right time, and tracking Anqi was a very good reason.
As for whether the Millelith would fall into chaos without her...
Mu Qingge stated that it definitely would not!
She had already arranged everything for the Millelith last night. Mu Qingge trusted Fengyan's abilities and also trusted her subordinate commanders.
She had to go to the Golden House, but she would not steal Lumine and Paimon's storyline; that was a big taboo.
At that time, she would start harvesting the audience's emotions. After being so calm for so long, it was time for something shocking.
It's just, my foolish older brother, you'll have to suffer a bit this time, but don't worry, your little sister won't hit your face.
