[Usage failed! The target is not a capturable Maid!]
The system's notification sound rang out.
The white light enveloping Venti suddenly dispersed.
"Oh my~ Failed?" Venti rarely frowned.
"That's to be expected, isn't it? After all, it's a Maid Charm. Perhaps in its judgment, you are a man? Or neither male nor female?"
"How can this be? In Mondstadt, boys can also become maids!"
Diluc immediately tore down his own god: "I've never heard of male maids in Mondstadt. Please don't bring the habits of Old Mondstadt into the present, Lord Barbatos."
"Unfair! This is discrimination!" Venti suddenly shouted.
Then Jack handed the Maid Charm (empty) to Paimon right in front of him.
"Speaking of which, I've always thought of you and Lumine as a bundled accessory, but you are actually an individual, right? Try to see if you can use this."
Paimon subconsciously pinched a corner of the Maid Charm.
Then white light began to cover it.
Pop~
The white light dispersed, and a stick figure of Paimon appeared on the back of the Maid Charm.
Apparently, Paimon succeeded.
"Pfft!"
Venti felt like he had taken critical damage and knelt on the ground in a dejected posture.
"Even Paimon can become a maid, but I can't? Heh heh, I also really want to go to all sorts of worlds with Traveler and see different sceneries!"
"Hey, bard! What do you mean even I can? Paimon is a pretty girl, alright!"
Paimon retorted to Venti, taking the opportunity to preen a bit.
To the side, Diluc saw that Venti was genuinely sad.
He felt a pang of sympathy.
But he didn't know how to comfort him.
So he said, "Do you have more of this? Let me try it too."
At his words, even Paimon cast a strange look at Diluc.
Jack took a half-step back, looking at the red-haired young man in shock: "No, Diluc, are you serious?"
"..."
I just wanted to play the role of a fellow sufferer to comfort the god of my own country.
He thought so in his heart, but Diluc, whose exterior was colder than ice, did not say it aloud.
He just waited silently.
"This... alright, though I don't have much hope."
Jack didn't hold out much hope either.
He took out another Maid Charm (empty) worth 5000 world coin and released it towards Diluc.
However, a sudden change occurred.
The originally pure white light suddenly collapsed inward, and then a dazzling, viscous black replaced it.
[Achievement Unlocked: Eternal Apostle]
[Reward world coin: 100]
The black light gradually faded.
Diluc reappeared before everyone.
He silently raised Wolf's Gravestone and swung a sword towards a distant pine tree.
A heavy sword wind destroyed the grass along its path before horizontally cutting the pine tree into two halves.
Boom!
The heavy tree body fell to the ground, and the violent sound proved that this was indeed an attack caused by him.
Diluc stared blankly at his hands.
"This power, after all..."
"Congratulations, Diluc. From today onwards, you are also registered in the MC World."
Jack had a strong acceptance ability.
He had no aversion to Diluc becoming his subordinate.
After all, the title 'Apostle' sounded pretty cool, didn't it?
He skillfully opened Diluc's panel interface and carefully examined it.
A few scattered pieces of the Crimson Witch set that Hutao and Klee had leftover, with double critical stats.
And a Wolf's Gravestone that was only enhanced to level 80 but refined to level 3.
His original panel wasn't particularly outstanding, but combined with the powerful physique of an MC person, Diluc was now firmly in the first tier of Genshin Impact characters on the Teyvat continent.
"Thank you very much! Traveler... or rather, Master..."
"Stop!"
Jack stopped Diluc's strange and embarrassing address.
Didn't he see that that scumbag Lumine was already ready to record?
"You can call me boss or something, understand?"
"Okay, Boss."
Diluc said in a muffled voice.
Then he quietly distanced himself from Venti.
The power he had desired for over two decades was basically bestowed by Jack (weapons, equipment, MC template), so it was natural for the pragmatic Diluc to change his allegiance.
If the original Anemo Archon was not satisfactory, then placing Jack in the Anemo Archon's position would make him very satisfied.
Seeing his most loyal devotee subtly rejecting him, Venti was almost on the verge of tears.
No! He was already crying!
"Wuwu! This isn't right, it shouldn't be like this, Traveler! Why can't I be converted?!"
"To think I diligently guarded Mondstadt for thousands of years, not daring to overstep an inch, but what did Celestia give me? It gave me attrition year after year!"
"Something even the mighty Morax couldn't resist, how am I, a small Anemo Archon, supposed to deal with it? It's precisely because of this reason that I just want to find a better leader to follow!"
"Now, can't even this small wish be fulfilled? Please, Traveler, please accept me!"
This guy's already scarce sense of integrity was completely shattered by Diluc's stimulation.
He directly hugged Jack's thigh and made astonishing remarks.
"Roar!"
The Ice Dragon Sevia roared at him.
Jack pressed down on her head, which was about to spit dragon's breath, "It's okay, Sevia, this person isn't attacking me, no need to be nervous."
Jack looked down at Venti.
However, this dignified Anemo Archon of Mondstadt showed no shame, looking at him with innocent eyes, as if he wouldn't let go unless Jack accepted him as a subordinate today.
"One more time! I'll just try one last time!"
Jack, exasperated by him, had no choice but to take out the Maid Charm again.
"Alright!"
Venti quickly stood up, rubbing his hands, waiting for the conversion.
"But I have one condition."
"The Maid Charm costs me a full 5000 world coin to buy, and it's a rare item that can't be bought just with world coin. So, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you need to work for me for one week."
"Work for one week? Doing what?" Venti asked curiously.
"Nothing much, just charging a machine, no, three machines."
"Charging?" Venti still didn't understand.
But he subconsciously felt that it wouldn't be anything good and wanted to refuse.
However, Jack crossed his arms, implying that if Venti didn't agree, he wouldn't agree either.
No choice.
Venti, eager to escape Celestia's team and get rid of the attrition, had no choice but to agree to his request.
It's just one week, nothing bad should happen, right?
Thinking this, Venti was once again enveloped by the white light of the Maid Charm.
And this time.
The white light did not break quickly.
Jack silently chanted in his mind:
He's a man! He's a man! Gender is not futa, not futa!
Indeed.
The Maid Charm seemed to absorb the user's thoughts, and like Diluc, it gradually turned black.
After a dozen seconds.

The moment Venti became his subordinate, Jack's already put-away three-colored god's eye was directly divided into four areas.
A cyan whirlwind squeezed in, occupying 1/4 of the space.
At the same time, the total amount of elemental energy within his body directly expanded by more than ten times!
This unusually familiar feeling, and the system's prompt words, made him instantly guess what he had just obtained.
"This is... Teyvat's authority?!"
