Oz, who had a separate table, slurped his meat and translated, "My lady means that she had a lot of fun today."
Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly. Seeing the two girls' satisfied expressions, he nodded, "As long as you two had fun eating, that's good."

"Of course!"
Klee puffed out her cheeks, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Mo, "Brother Lin Mo, let's play together again tomorrow!"
She extended her small hand, solemnly making the 'pinky promise' gesture.
"Mm, we'll be together again tomorrow."
Lin Mo smiled faintly and pinky-promised with Klee.
"It's a promise!"
"It's a promise!"
Klee jumped up happily, her face full of excitement, "Then Klee will make more bombs tonight!"
She put on a serious expression, "Today's bombs still aren't enough. I must bring more tomorrow!"
Lin Mo: "..."
Fischl heard this and, remembering the power of those bombs, suddenly fell silent.
At the same time, she subconsciously moved a bit to the side, coughed, and said, "Our journey has not yet stopped. Tomorrow, the Wheel of Fate shall turn once more, carrying us towards a more glorious future!"
Oz, who had a separate table, slurped his meat and translated, "My lady means that she will also continue to be with you all tomorrow."
While chatting, the three continued to feast.
Time passed.
After eating their fill, the three walked out of the Good Hunter Restaurant and parted ways at the street corner.
"Brother Lin Mo, see you tomorrow!"
Klee waved her small hand, skipping towards the Knights of Favonius headquarters, ready to go to her room to "manufacture" new bombs.
Fischl, draped in her black and purple cape, walked towards her home with a confident head held high.
"The fated journey has not yet ended! Tomorrow, let us face the challenge again!"
This time, Lin Mo understood Fischl's words without Oz needing to translate.
See you tomorrow.
After watching Klee and Fischl leave, Lin Mo leisurely walked towards his home.
Mondstadt at night had a little less of the daytime hustle and bustle, and a little more quietness and warmth.
The surrounding lights flickered, and the air was mixed with the faint scent of wine wafting from the taverns.
As he passed through a relatively secluded alley.
Lin Mo suddenly stopped.
On the street ahead, several dark figures appeared silently, blocking his Path.
Looking at the three Fatui who appeared, Lin Mo's expression grew even stranger.
This scene felt familiar.
"Hello, Mondstadt's genius."
The next second, a Fatui elite walked up to Lin Mo and asked calmly, "May I ask you some questions?"
Lin Mo: "??????"
Seeing such polite Fatui elites, Lin Mo fell into contemplation.
Since when were the Fatui so polite?
However, thinking that he currently had no weapon, Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What is it?"
"We are the Fatui. Before we came, did any other Fatui come to find you?"
The Fatui elite who spoke first got straight to the point, "After our discussion, we decided to invite you to join us. Did anyone come to find you before us?"
As this Fatui elite emphasized it twice, Lin Mo's expression grew even stranger.
It seems these Fatui really didn't know that the previous Fatui had come to find him?
"No."
Lin Mo said without changing his expression, "This is the first time I've seen the Fatui talk to me."
Since these Fatui elites came to question him, they certainly didn't know he was the murderer.
Then he couldn't possibly confess without being asked.
He even wondered if he should eliminate these three Fatui elites.
But the problem was, he had no weapon in hand.
Moreover, there were people walking not far away, and it seemed a bit difficult to deal with these three Fatui elites without alarming anyone.
However, in an instant, Lin Mo gave up the idea of eliminating the three.
"No?"
Hearing this, the Fatui elite who spoke first frowned deeply.
Where did Kurt and the others go?
He didn't believe Lin Mo would deceive him.
As Fatui, even the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt generally dared not speak out against them.
Let alone deceive them.
Most importantly, Lin Mo was still a person without a Vision.
One must know that Kurt possessed an Evil Eye.
And several of them were elites, acting together. How could they possibly be dealt with silently by an ordinary person like Lin Mo?
So he instantly believed Lin Mo's words.
Then the question was, where did Kurt and the others go?
The three Fatui elites present looked at each other, puzzled.
It seemed they would have to investigate in other directions.
Thinking this, the Fatui elite recovered and looked at Lin Mo, saying, "Then, are you willing to join the Fatui? I represent the Mondstadt Fatui in inviting you to join. For a genius like you, the Fatui organization is your best choice. If you are willing to join, we can transfer you to Snezhnaya later."
"There, you can receive better training, whether it's resources or anything else."
Since they were already here, they might as well invite this genius swordsman.
However, just as this Fatui elite began to speak.
Lin Mo found that the virtual panel once again appeared before him.
[The disappearance of the Wanderer elites will attract the attention of the Wanderer organization. You have encountered an investigation and attack from the Wanderer organization's higher-ups, as well as the attention of other forces. You choose to wait for the attack, obtaining the reward for Option Two: (Guard of Wuthering Snow Relic Piece: Guard's Silver Scaled Gauntlets. Metal gauntlets shining with silver light, with complex mechanical structures hidden within. Gauntlets blessed by the Power of the Path of Preservation, damage taken is reduced by 8%.)]
[Because of your active contact with Clara and Seele, you have entered the sight of certain existences.]
[You have once again received questioning from the higher-ups of the Wanderer organization. The Wanderer organization does not believe that a medical personnel who can only bandage wounds can eliminate their elites, even if you previously eliminated ordinary members of their organization, but ordinary members and elites are incomparable.]
[Please note, Svarog is currently watching you through mechanical sentinels. You have triggered the first faction choice. The following choice is crucial and will determine your faction and development direction. You choose...]
[Option One: Accept the invitation. You decide to go with the flow and accept the Wanderer organization's invitation, entering their inner circle. Although you know very well that this will by no means be an easy "reception," perhaps it's more like a test, or even an interrogation, but since they are interested in you, why not take this opportunity to delve into their trump cards? Of course, this also means you will have to walk in the shadows, become a member of this organization, and perhaps even become their blade. At the same time, you will be feared, and even ostracized by people and higher-ups of other factions. (Reward: Ancient Engine. A machine engine left over from the Old World era. Powered by Geode as energy, it doesn't spray sparks when running, but wandering auroras. Only the Grand Guardian's direct technical department has the right to access Old World data. As for me, I couldn't get in after being fired.)]
[Option Two: Flatly refuse. You decisively refused the Wanderer organization's invitation, giving them no room for hesitation. But you know very well what refusing them means—once they suspect your stance, they will never let go easily. To avoid being passively beaten, you decide to take the initiative, going directly to Wildfire, explaining everything that happened today, and clarifying your stance. You know that although Wildfire is also an underground force, at least compared to those Wanderer organizations full of lies and secretly manipulating everything, they are more willing to protect the weak and maintain order in the Underworld. At the same time, you also show your firm stance—you will not join the Wanderer organization, nor will you become one of their members. Of course, this means you will inevitably stand against the Wanderer organization in the future, and may even become an eyesore to them. But at least, you have actively found a more trustworthy ally. (Reward: Ten catties of hard Meteorite Iron Sand. These extraterrestrial objects are strong enough to shatter bedrock. Dig more, take as much as you can. Kliper will need them. I don't know if the Stellaron needs them, I only know the Company is willing to pay a high price.)]
[Option Three: Play it by ear. You smile slightly, neither directly agreeing nor refusing, but cleverly delaying time, feigning compliance while observing their trump cards. Since they are willing to actively contact you, why not take the opportunity to see what they want? Perhaps you can use them, gain some benefits, and then disengage? Perhaps you can find a way to keep yourself safe and make them lose interest in you? Of course, this also means that you will not be able to gain the complete trust and support of any party in your subsequent actions. (Reward: Light Cone: The Same Feeling, a Memory Light Cone containing the Power of the Path of Abundance. The wielder can release the sealed Power of the Path of Abundance through the Light Cone, which has some miraculous effects on healing. If activated with the Power of the Path of Abundance, it will awaken additional power.)]
Lin Mo: "..."
Damn it, something's not right.
Seeing these three options appear, Lin Mo gasped.
What the hell is a faction option?
Aren't the Wanderer organization just a bunch of strays?
If it weren't for Svarog's protection, these guys would have died in the Underworld long ago.
How do the given options seem a bit complicated?
And it even triggered a faction option?
And Svarog is watching through mechanical sentinels. Who is Svarog?
Lin Mo's face darkened. He subconsciously looked around but saw nothing special.
As for the Wildfire organization, could it be Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius?
Fischl corresponds to Seele, and Seele is a core member of the Wildfire organization.
But Fischl is not from the Knights of Favonius; she's from the Adventurers' Guild.
