The sky was faintly bright, and warm sunlight spilled onto the cobblestone streets of the city.
Street vendors had already begun their busy day.
The air was filled with the aroma of fresh bread and roasted meat.
Knights of Favonius patrol teams moved methodically through the crowds, ensuring order within the city.
In front of the Adventurers' Guild, many Adventurers had already gathered, preparing to accept today's missions.
It was a lively scene.
Lin Mo strolled leisurely down the street, heading towards the Adventurers' Guild.
Compared to other Adventurers, his steps seemed particularly relaxed.
There was no hint of tension, but rather a touch of leisure.
Yesterday's harvest was quite bountiful, and today, he planned to continue taking on several gathering missions.
And also see if there were any new targets.
However, as he stepped onto the stairs in front of the Adventurers' Guild,
A familiar small red figure immediately caught his eye.
"Lin Mo Ge Ge!"
A childish voice called out.
Lin Mo paused, slightly startled, his gaze falling on the bouncy red figure.
It was Klee.
She was still wearing her iconic red hooded cape.
Her backpack was bulging, looking as if she could pull out a pile of bombs at any moment.
Her small face was full of anticipation, and her amber eyes sparkled brightly.
As if seeing Lin Mo made her completely carefree.
"You're here so early?"
Lin Mo couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Hehe, Klee woke up really early today!"
Klee lifted her head, looking triumphant.
"..." Lin Mo looked at her bulging backpack, vaguely guessing something.
This little one, she didn't stay up all night making bombs, did she?
The energy of a Vision Holder is also far greater than that of ordinary people.
However, before Lin Mo could ponder further, Klee's expression suddenly shifted subtly.
Her originally bright eyes flickered.
Then a hint of unease appeared on her small face, and she nervously rubbed her fingers together at the hem of her clothes, seemingly hesitating about something.
Then, she carefully looked up, her voice tinged with apprehension: "Um... Lin Mo Ge Ge... I'm sorry."
"?"
Lin Mo was immediately taken aback, his brow slightly raised.
Did Klee do something she needed to apologize to him for?
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mo looked at her, puzzled.
Klee's fingers were intertwined, and she nervously kicked at the ground, her face showing annoyance and guilt.
"Albedo Ge Ge... he asked me about Lin Mo Ge Ge yesterday..."
At this, Klee secretly glanced at Lin Mo, her voice growing softer, with a hint of guilt:
"I... I... told him about Lin Mo Ge Ge helping Klee make her bombs stronger..."
"..."
Hearing this, Lin Mo paused.
Then he let out a wry laugh.
So it was about this.
He had thought something important had happened.
It turned out Albedo had just gotten some information from Klee.
This was no surprise at all.
Lin Mo had long expected Albedo to find out sooner or later; it was only a matter of time.
Moreover, he hadn't intended to deliberately hide it.
After all, his activities in Mondstadt were too frequent.
Two consecutive days of large-scale resource gathering, hunting Whopperflowers, strengthening bombs... these things couldn't be kept secret.
Instead of trying to hide it, it was better to openly admit it.
But speaking of which, Albedo looked for Klee last night.
Could it be that Svarog is Albedo?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo's expression became a little strange.
It seems, it's not entirely impossible?
He couldn't understand Bennett being Sampo.
But Albedo being Svarog, he seemed to somewhat understand.
He pondered for a moment.
The next second, Lin Mo snapped back to reality.
Looking at the remorseful Klee in front of him, Lin Mo chuckled softly, reaching out to ruffle her soft golden hair, saying in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, I didn't ask you to keep it a secret."
"Eh?"
Klee froze, looking up, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
"This was bound to happen sooner or later; it's normal for Albedo to know."
Lin Mo shrugged, his tone casual: "Anyway, this isn't some secret that can't see the light of day."
"Really... it's okay?" Klee's small face wore a tentative expression.
"Of course."
Lin Mo nodded.
Klee immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, a radiant smile reappeared on her face.
She bounced happily in place, waving her hands, all unease gone, replaced by her familiar vibrancy:
"That's great! Lin Mo Ge Ge isn't angry!"
"How did you even think I'd be angry...?"
Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.
Klee giggled, completely oblivious.
"Since it's okay... then Lin Mo Ge Ge, where are we going today?" Klee asked excitedly.
Lin Mo smiled gently, pondering for a moment.
"Today, it's the same; we'll go to Whispering Woods to gather resources."
Since he had returned with a full load for two consecutive days, today's goal wouldn't change.
He could earn mora and also see what treasures the biological scanner could dig up.
This efficiency was even higher than being a pure exploration Adventurer.
Upon hearing this, Klee happily patted her backpack: "Then Klee has prepared lots of bombs today too! I can help Lin Mo Ge Ge blast open the soil!"
Lin Mo: "..."
He had a feeling that today's "gathering" might turn into "bombing" again.
"Today we'll look inside the forest, not outside."
"Oh oh oh!"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Klee excitedly waved her little fists.
At this moment, a familiar chuunibyou-like tone echoed in the air—
