Ganyu looked toward Junze with relief.
Her heart was filled with warmth.
Having such a disciple might be her good fortune.
Uncle Tian looked at Junze for a while, then said to Ganyu with emotion, "Older Sister Ganyu, you really have taken in an exceptionally good disciple."
"Mm! I think so too."
This time, Ganyu showed no resistance at all to someone else's praise.
Because in her eyes, Junze was indeed a very good disciple. She was proud to be his Master.
[Autonomous Task: Progress 25%]
Junze blinked.
To be honest, what he had just said truly came from the heart.
Thinking about how for thousands of years Ganyu had always worked so diligently and tirelessly.
Perhaps she herself never said much, but as her disciple, Junze still felt quite heartache for her.
That was why he said those words.
He just had not expected it would directly trigger a task.
'Why does it feel like I don't even need to actively do this Autonomous Task, it'll fill up on its own?'
Junze felt somewhat helpless about how his Master felt toward him.
Getting Primogems for free was certainly nice, but he did not think he was so worthy of making Ganyu proud.
How embarrassing.
Uncle Tian crouched down again and said kindly, "If Junze, you truly want to help your Master, then try becoming one of the Liyue Qixing. That way you can help her."
The instant Uncle Tian finished speaking, Junze's system reacted.
[Legendary Task: Make Liyue Even Greater! Triggered!]
[Description: This task has three stages. Stage 1: Become one of the Liyue Qixing as Ganyu's disciple; Stage 2: Reduce Ganyu's workload; Stage 3: Make Liyue even greater]
[Note: This task is progressive. Only after completing the current stage can the next stage be entered]
[Reward: 1600 Primogems, one random 5-Star card, one random 4-Star card]
"… "
Junze froze on the spot.
Just chatting with this old man actually spawned a task?!
And this task was definitely the most richly rewarded one Junze had encountered so far.
But…
'With me looking like a little kid, how long would it take to become one of the Liyue Qixing?!'
Junze complained weakly in his heart.
Because of the task restriction, he could not rely on any other identity. He had to become one of the Qixing specifically as Ganyu's disciple.
But how old was he?
Even if he made tremendous contributions, it still would not be likely for him to become one of the Qixing!
Which meant this was a long-term task.
Junze felt numb.
In short, this task could not be completed at this stage. He could only work toward it bit by bit.
Seeing a huge piece of delicious meat placed right in front of him yet being unable to eat it was truly painful.
"Mm! I'll work hard to become one of the Qixing!"
Junze nodded firmly, but within those beautiful eyes there was faintly an incomparable misery.
"Good! Ambitious! Maybe in the future, my position will be yours."
Uncle Tian laughed heartily.
Next, Junze's food was served.
Junze immediately started eating voraciously.
This left Uncle Tian beside him staring in a daze.
"This child… he really can eat."
Watching such a large plate of dishes vanish in the blink of an eye, Uncle Tian was extremely astonished.
So he truly was not an ordinary mortal?
Ganyu gently patted Junze's back and said, "Eat slower. No one's going to take it from you."
Even as she said that, looking at the dishes in front of her now also made Ganyu somewhat unable to endure.
But considering there were outsiders present, she could only restrain herself for the moment.
Master is really pitiful~
At this moment Uncle Tian remembered something and reminded, "Older Sister Ganyu, recently you'd best not let this child leave Liyue Harbor alone."
"Mm? What's wrong?"
Ganyu looked at Uncle Tian in confusion.
At this point Uncle Tian rubbed his temples and said with a slight headache, "Recently, outside Liyue Harbor has not been very peaceful."
"First there was that terrifying phenomenon over at Jueyun Karst."
Jueyun Karst?
That was Junze without a doubt.
"Then there were the miners who disappeared one after another."
The moment Uncle Tian finished that sentence, Junze's system moved.
[Main Quest: The Missing Miners, Triggered!]
[Description: Investigate the cause of the miners' disappearance]
[Reward: 60 Primogems]
Junze's expression turned subtle. Was this Tianxuan here to deliver him tasks?
Uncle Tian continued, "Then there are the geovishaps that suddenly became violent."
[Main Quest: Rampaging Geovishap]
[Description: Defeat the geovishap troubling Uncle Tian]
[Reward: 40 Primogems]
"And also one more thing. Today outside Liyue Harbor, another creature appeared, wrapped entirely in black aura, about the size of a lion. No one knows whether it's friend or foe."
Listing these issues, Uncle Tian's head started to ache.
Junze, who had been happy about getting tasks, immediately choked when he heard Uncle Tian's words.
"Cough cough cough!"
That last one was obviously him!
Ganyu, who had been thinking, immediately handed Junze water and gently patted his back.
Ganyu scolded, "I told you to eat slower. No one is taking your food."
"Cough… cough cough… cough!"
"Y-yes… cough cough! S-sorry, Mas… cough cough!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking."
Seeing Junze's flushed face, Ganyu felt both helpless and distressed.
Watching Ganyu care for Junze like this, Uncle Tian suddenly felt emotional. Older Sister Ganyu has changed a lot.
The reason Junze lost composure like this was naturally because he had never expected that his very first outing on a task had been witnessed!
And it had even been reported like this all the way to Ganyu.
Luckily, at the time he had been wrapped in black aura. Otherwise, he absolutely would have been exposed.
After quite a while, Junze finally recovered.
Ganyu said with slight sternness, "You must chew slowly and thoroughly, understand?"
Junze nodded aggrievedly and lowered his head to continue eating.
Only then did Ganyu say to Uncle Tian, "I'll be careful. I won't let this child run around outside."
Junze, head lowered while eating, shrank his little head.
Sorry, Master, I might still run out.
Uncle Tian nodded. "That's good."
"Afterward, I'll write these incidents into a report. I'll also trouble you, Older Sister Ganyu, to organize it."
Ganyu nodded.
"That is within my duties."
