"Did he unlock new mods again? Does Lin Tian have a system? How did he suddenly unlock them?"
Seeing Lin Tian suddenly use completely different attack methods than before, Liu Yueyan, who was observing from the platform, had some guesses. Having read a lot of novels recently, she also thought of the artifact that all transmigrators must have—a system.
Thinking about the possibility of Lin Tian being able to unlock different mods, Liu Yueyan felt that her guess was very likely true. However, it was also possible that this was all just her speculation.
Liu Yueyan didn't spend too much time guessing the source of Lin Tian's mods. After all, it wasn't a big concern for her, and guessing wildly might annoy Lin Tian. If that happened, she would regret it deeply.
"Galactic Bat Hero: No way? You pulled out something this cool after I left? Are we still friends or what!"
"Super True Newbie: Summoning a meteor directly! So cool!"
"Platelet: Big Brother Lin Tian is so amazing!"
...
"Godfather! I want to learn this!"
As soon as Lin Tian returned to the obsidian platform, Lumine pounced on him, looking at him with pleading eyes.
"You can't learn it, and I can't teach you."
Lin Tian dismissed Lumine with a single sentence. All his abilities came from mods unlocked by the system. How could he teach her?
"Also, Lumine, aren't you going back yet? Didn't you say you were going to Sumeru? You've been here at my place for two weeks now, still not planning to continue your journey?"
Looking at Lumine's carefree appearance, Lin Tian suddenly asked her a question.
Hellish Blizzard, Men Yashi, Chito and Yuri, Kanna, and Daigu had all gone back. After all, they had things to do and couldn't always stay here.
Right, Kanna had to go to school.
The only ones still here, besides Liu Yueyan and Erina Nakiri—who were either idle at home or whose family assets were their own—were Xiao and the other Yakshas, as well as Lumine and Paimon.
Xiao and the others were here because of Zhongli. Lumine, however, had no reason. If it was to help, the current battlefield didn't need them at all.
Lin Tian had also tried to get Xiao and the others to go back first, but they insisted on upholding Zhongli's words and wouldn't leave, so Lin Tian could only let them be.
"Oh, right! I was supposed to go to Sumeru! Crap, I totally forgot!"
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Lumine suddenly remembered that she wasn't in Teyvat. These past few days, she had been living a life of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and not even having to worry about Paimon's food expenses. It was causing her to gradually sink into complacency. It seemed one really couldn't stay in a comfortable environment for too long! She felt like she was getting rusty.
Lin Tian wasn't surprised at all to hear that Lumine had forgotten. These days, Lumine had been completely immersed in the gentle embrace of the maids. It would be a miracle if she had remembered.
"Alright, then it looks like I have to go back too. I'll leave the last two days to you, Liu Yueyan."
"Don't you worry about it. Hurry up and go rescue little Nahida, O great hero."
Lin Tian said, proactively opening a portal for Lumine to cross worlds.
"Why do I feel like you're trying to rush me out?"
Lumine looked at Lin Tian suspiciously. She felt that his behavior was just like someone trying to kick her out.
"How could that be? I like you very much, Lumine."
Lin Tian lied through his teeth without a blush or a stutter. At the same time, he stuffed a few enchanted golden apples into her hands and then pushed her into the vortex.
"My Paimon!"
Lumine's voice came from the vortex. At the same time, a golden head poked out of the vortex, looking at Lin Tian resentfully. She really thought Lin Tian liked her! In that case, maybe she could have scammed a Sword of the Cosmos off him?
"Oh, Paimon! You're really forgetful, Lumine!"
Lin Tian took out the sleeping Paimon from behind him and reluctantly handed her to Lumine, who was reaching out to him.
Seeing the vortex disappear, Lin Tian "tsked" in pity. He still failed to trick Paimon into staying.
Liu Yueyan and Erina Nakiri, who had watched this whole series of actions from the side, once again refreshed their understanding of Lin Tian. Just how much did this guy like lolis, to actually think of keeping Paimon here while Lumine wasn't paying attention? It seemed he was on the same scummy level as Lumine.
"What's wrong? What's with those looks?"
Seeing the strange gazes from Liu Yueyan and Erina Nakiri, Lin Tian blushed a little. Although he did have the thought of secretly keeping Paimon, he wouldn't force it, okay!
"It's nothing. It's just that I think I should be heading back too."
Liu Yueyan shook her head. She really should go back. It had been so many days. If she hadn't gone back once before, her father would have been worried sick.
Moreover, Chito had already sent her a message, saying they were preparing to move soon. Although they called it "moving," it was really only four people.
So she really had to go back. After all, the people back home were waiting for her to open a portal.
"In that case, I'll go back too. It's a good time to check on those seeds I planted."
Seeing that Liu Yueyan was planning to leave, Erina Nakiri felt too embarrassed to stay any longer. She also wanted to see how those seeds she had planted earlier were doing. She wondered if they had grown.
There was also the most important point: she didn't know if the MC soil could assimilate the soil of her world.
"Oh, you're going back too?"
Lin Tian was a bit surprised to see that Liu Yueyan and Erina Nakiri were also planning to go back. These two were arguably the idlest people in the group, yet even they had a day where they had to work!
...
Watching the two vortexes disappear, Lin Tian turned back and looked at the only ones remaining: Xiao, Fushe, Minu, Fanan, and Yingda, the five Yakshas.
"Xiao... forget it, do as you please."
Lin Tian thought for a moment but ultimately didn't say anything. It was possible that Zhongli had treated the gifts he gave as a transaction, which was why he strictly ordered them to help him complete these hundred days.
"Little Tian, you don't have to be in such a hurry to send them away. There are only two days left anyway. It'll be over soon."
Mitsuri Kanroji said, holding Fanan's arm and speaking up for her good friend.
That's right, after spending these days together, they had all become best friends.
Kanae Kocho was also in the distance talking about something with Yingda, glancing over at Lin Tian from time to time.
"Fine, I'm not trying to get rid of Xiao and the others. It's just that with only two days left, I'm the only one who can handle the upcoming battles."
"Besides, don't you, Xiao, still have your own duties to attend to?"
Lin Tian looked at Xiao. If he remembered correctly, Xiao still had the job of vanquishing demons and protecting Liyue. Was it really okay for him to be away for so long?
"You need not worry. Lord Rex Lapis said that Lord Azhdaha will be in charge during this time, and that we should assist you with all our strength."
"I see."
Hearing that Azhdaha was in charge of the cleanup, Lin Tian roughly understood Zhongli's plan. As for Xiao addressing him as 'you' (respectfully), he didn't correct it. After all, Xiao always called him that, and even if he asked him to change it, he wouldn't.
Time passed slowly, and soon, the blood moon of the ninety-ninth day arrived.
