At this very moment.
On top of a house in Mondstadt.
Several Fatui were gathered together.
In the very center was a Debt Collector.
"Sir Debt Collector."
Suddenly, a Fatui respectfully said: "According to your instructions, some goods have been destroyed by us. No one saw this process. If all goes as expected, these few shops will inevitably fall under our control."
"Furthermore, the owners of these shops are old nobles of Mondstadt. Even if the Knights of Favonius intervene, they will ultimately be helpless, and our operating funds have become more abundant."
"Not bad."
Hearing this, the Fatui Debt Collector immediately looked satisfied: "Every time Stormterror attacks, we are able to obtain a batch of operating funds."
"However, next time Stormterror attacks again, do not act this way. What can be done once or twice cannot be done a third time."
"Next time, what we need to do is pressure Mondstadt, and ideally interfere with the city's defenses in Mondstadt."
"As long as there's an opportunity to insert ourselves, even if it's just one person, it's worth it."
As the Fatui Debt Collector spoke, the many Fatui elites present nodded, all expressing their understanding.
"By the way, Sir Debt Collector."
Suddenly, a Fatui elite remembered something and quickly said: "Today, through the controlled Hilichurls, I discovered a promising talent. He is very skilled with a sword and can easily deal with surrounding wolves and Hilichurls by himself."
"According to the information I gathered this afternoon, he is also an Adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt."
"The most crucial thing is that he is not an old noble or a Knights of Favonius Knight of Mondstadt. He is a sixteen-year-old genius swordsman."
"He also has some fame in Mondstadt."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the Fatui Debt Collector immediately raised his eyebrows: "Such a talent is most suitable to join our Fatui."
"Go, invite him to join the Fatui. What our Fatui needs most is this kind of talent."
"I'm afraid an invitation won't work."
Hearing this, the Fatui elite quickly whispered: "The other party hasn't even joined the Knights of Favonius; he's only with the Adventurers' Guild."
"Clearly, he is someone who values freedom."
"We've recruited many people before, and not many were willing to join, let alone this genius."
"Then just directly tie him up and bring him back."
Hearing this, the Fatui Debt Collector waved his hand indifferently: "What we want are geniuses. Whether he is willing or not is his business."
"Since he is neither a new nor old noble of Mondstadt, nor a Knights of Favonius Knight of Mondstadt, and he doesn't even have a Vision, he is merely an ordinary human."
"Just tie him up directly, do I need to say more?"
"Just a genius. If our Fatui can't have him, then Mondstadt can't have him either."
"In this day and age, what we lack least are geniuses."
"Yes."
Hearing this, the Fatui elite immediately nodded: "I understand. I will make arrangements tonight."
"The issues with the shops within Mondstadt will be left to you all to handle."
The Debt Collector nodded and left directly.
Seeing this, several Fatui elites also left, walking towards the Knights of Favonius Knights approaching from not far away.
And at this very moment.
On the other side.
Good Hunter Restaurant.
Lin Mo, who was eating, suddenly saw the panel that only he could see appear before him, and his expression suddenly became peculiar.
[Because you dealt with the Wanderer, but this scene was also witnessed by others, who then reported it to the Wanderer organization. The Wanderer organization learned that you would, for the sake of a little girl related to a robot that is opposed by most residents, deal with a Wanderer who is also human. You chose to remain inactive and keep a low profile, thus receiving the reward for Option Three: (Reward: Biowave Detector. A small, infinitely reusable treasure-hunting tool. 'The brighter it glows, the more valuable the treasure. But if it's brighter than your own detector light, it's probably broken.')]
Looking at the completed option that appeared, Lin Mo's face was filled with surprise.
It's already completed?
It hasn't even been a day.
But the next second, Lin Mo discovered that the text on the panel reappeared.
[After learning of your strength, the Wanderer organization was not angry that you dealt with one of their Wanderers. Instead, they greatly appreciate you and have decided to send someone to invite you. Faced with the Wanderer organization's invitation, you decide...]
[Option One: Accept the invitation. Although you assisted in establishing the Wildfire organization, you are ultimately not a member of the Wildfire organization. You decide to go with the flow and join the Wanderer organization. After all, with an organization comes food and resources, and even if there's dirty work to be done, you can arrange for others to do it—joining them and utilizing the Wanderer organization, why not? (Reward: Ice Core. A shard of ice fallen from the starry sky. When removed from its specially sealed container, the condensed low-temperature water vapor is like a sigh in winter. 'Magnify a snowflake 100 times to appreciate the masterful craftsmanship of nature.')]
[Option Two: Decline the invitation. How could you not understand the Wanderer organization's tricks? Today they greet you with a smile, tomorrow they might just pit you as cannon fodder. You decisively refuse, stating that you are accustomed to a free and unrestrained life, and besides, you know too well how petty this organization is. (Reward: Enhancement Paste - Ice. A paste made by grinding materials that seem to possess the power of a Path with other substances. Applying this tube of paste to a suitable weapon can effectively strengthen it.)]
[Option Three: Acceptance ≠ Joining, listen to commands but not declarations. You smile slyly, neither directly joining nor completely refusing, but instead agreeing to cooperate, though absolutely refusing to be easily bound. Freedom is your pursuit; occasionally following orders to earn some extra money is not a loss. Although it might anger the Wanderer organization, it can be utilized temporarily. (Reward: Solid Purified Water. A compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen, the source of life for carbon-based organisms. Kept in solid form for convenient portability.)]
Looking at the three options that appeared, Lin Mo's expression became even more peculiar.
The Wanderer organization is inviting him?
Who is the Wanderer organization?
When this option was triggered before, it was when he dealt with the Hilichurls and wild wolves.
Could it be that Hilichurls would invite him to join the Hilichurls organization?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo fell into contemplation.
If he remembered correctly, Hilichurls were unconscious, right?
Could this thing even invite him to join?
"These rewards are really stingy."
The next second, Lin Mo looked at the rewards for these three options and shook his head.
When the previous option rewards appeared, they were all things related to a Path.
But this time, what appeared was some kind of damn thing.
It wasn't even as good as the previous rewards.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo's thought moved.
Suddenly, the Biowave Detector instantly appeared in his hand.
