C8 Zhongli Tianli also Opened a Small Account

"Sis... Sis juice... It's a special drink from my hometown... Hehe... I really enjoy it!"

"Ugh, how dull."

Hu Tao pouted, clearly not satisfied with Mu Jin's response.

She hadn't expected this white-haired simpleton to actually lie.

Hmm... It seems I've underestimated her... Oh well, I'll just play along with this little fibber for now.

One day, I'll uncover the truth about this so-called 'meijuice'!

Hu Tao extricated herself from Mu Jin's embrace and got ready to freshen up.

Meanwhile, Mu Jin lay there like a beached fish, staring at the ceiling in despair.

After a moment of existential pondering, Mu Jin opened the system panel and gleefully claimed her 60 crystals.

She had totally forgotten how she had been inwardly cursing the system just moments ago.

But to level up, she'd still need to tackle the daily quests.

And most of those quests required venturing into the wild.

Like taking down those pesky Hilichurls...

Hmm...

Well, there's only one path forward!

What's the profession that offers both experience and rewards?!

Adventurer, of course!

Mu Jin sat up quickly, shadowboxing the air with a look of excitement.

The morning's main task was to sign up as an adventurer.

In the afternoon, she'd tackle the daily quests, and in the evening, she'd join Hu Tao in promoting the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's culture!

I'm a true maestro of time management!

Spot on!

Mu Jin could almost visualize the loot from every tenfold pull.

But then again... Should I make a trip to Mondstadt or Inazuma?

The former was just to meet someone Mu Jin was curious about and to farm for crystals through positive impressions.

The latter... was pure curiosity about the new region.

And honestly, she still had no clue what the Electro Archon looked like.

Mu Jin slipped out of her pajamas and into the embarrassing Valkyrja armor once more, donning the system's coat over it.

Hmm...

Have I even tested out this Valkyrja armor's features yet?

I'm dying to try out the Kitty Fist!

When she opened the door, she saw Hu Tao had already finished her morning routine and was sitting leisurely in a chair, seemingly waiting for Mu Jin.

"You're so slow! Come on, wash up, and then let's head over to Xiangling's place to mooch some food!"

"The washroom is over there, everything's all set for you."

She dashed off in the direction Hu Tao had indicated.

Speaking of food...

Mu Jin realized she was actually quite hungry, especially since Xiangling's family cooked meals that were truly delicious!

The fare her own body managed to whip up was incomparable, like night and day.

Mu Jin's philosophy on cooking was simple: if it didn't kill you, it was fine.

After freshening up, she pondered over the comb and hair tie for a moment...

Eventually, she reached for the comb, deciding to stick to the original script!

Before her untimely demise via falling object, Mu Jin was just an average girl, her one notable talent being her crafty hands.

Braiding her hair was a piece of cake~

Mu Jin admired her reflection in the bronze mirror, her hair now in two thick braids.

Perfect! Now she truly looked like Kiana!

Pleased with her handiwork and driven by a growling stomach, she bolted out like a husky breaking free, exclaiming, "Hu Tao! I'm all set! Time to eat!"

Oblivious due to her ravenous state, Mu Jin didn't notice the slight uptick in Kiana's synchronization value within the system.

Hu Tao watched Mu Jin approach, still calling out in hunger.

Initially toying with her hair, Hu Tao looked up and noticed the new hairstyle.

While loose hair suited her, this braided look was more fitting for her white-haired, simple charm.

Subconsciously, Hu Tao touched her own hair, musing that in a way, they now shared a similar style.

"Come on, let's get going, or there'll be no food left at Xiangling's!" she warned.

She was genuinely excited about spending the evening with Mu Jin at the night market.

Ding! Hu Tao's fondness for you is at 40%, seeing you as a potential best friend, her white-haired, endearing companion.

"Wuwuwuwu! Wait for me!"

"Is this another visitor from a different world...?"

A striking man with long, brown-black hair stood at the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, his golden eyes calmly observing Mu Jin playfully bickering with Hu Tao.

To him, the fact that she was a stranger from afar hardly mattered.

But why does she bear such a striking resemblance to the divine?

Could it be that the divine had business in Liyue and created an alternate account?

He furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

"Mr. Zhongli, have you... sent over another bill?"

A member of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor adjusted his glasses, clutching several invoices, seeking confirmation from the man known as Zhongli.

Zhongli was silent for a moment, his train of thought disrupted, but he eventually spoke up softly.

"...Apologies, I forgot to bring Mora this time."
