However, after receiving Lin Mo's affirmation, Acting Grand Master Jean breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, she wouldn't need to allocate all her manpower to this issue.
Being able to clarify things was a good outcome.
"Actually, I bear no ill will towards Mondstadt."
Lin Mo, thinking of what he had been experimenting with, pondered for a moment before speaking, "You don't need to worry that I will do anything to harm Mondstadt..."
"Actually, I can also make a deal with Mondstadt."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Acting Grand Master Jean paused, her gaze fixed on Lin Mo, "What kind of deal?"
"I can assist you in resolving the Stormterror crisis. I know a lot about the Stormterror crisis and the secrets behind it."
Lin Mo chuckled, "Behind Stormterror, there is also the shadow of the Abyss Order."
"The Abyss Order."
Hearing this, Acting Grand Master Jean's pupils constricted sharply.
It wasn't just Acting Grand Master Jean; Kaeya and Lisa also looked surprised.
Behind Stormterror, there was also the shadow of the Abyss Order?
This was something they truly didn't know.
"Then, Mr. Lin Mo, what do you wish to gain?"
Acting Grand Master Jean immediately straightened her expression, asking Lin Mo very seriously.
In Acting Grand Master Jean's view, why Lin Mo knew these things, though she had questions, she wouldn't ask.
She only needed to know that Lin Mo had no ill intentions towards Mondstadt.
The main problem Mondstadt was currently facing was the Stormterror crisis.
And Lin Mo actually said he could resolve the Stormterror crisis.
Given the information she had investigated earlier, Lin Mo was extraordinary, and she didn't believe he would lie.
She wanted to hear Lin Mo's conditions.
"I want the reward from the idiotic system."
Hearing Acting Grand Master Jean's words, Lin Mo inwardly complained.
But on the surface, he said, "To be honest, I also grew up in Mondstadt. The issue of Stormterror's attacks affects me too. Since I have the ability, I naturally need to resolve it."
"I can provide you with some intelligence and assist you in resolving it."
"As for what I want to gain, it is naturally for the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt to form an alliance with me. In the future, if I need any help within Mondstadt's territory, the Knights of Favonius must help me to the best of their ability."
In Lin Mo's opinion, building good relations with the Knights of Favonius could only bring benefits, not harm.
The Stormterror crisis was definitely going to be resolved.
But since he knew it would inevitably be resolved in the end, he could completely intervene and gain some benefits for himself.
At the same time, he also wanted to test this idiotic system to see if he could exploit it.
"Hmm, the reason sounds like there's nothing wrong with it."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Acting Grand Master Jean narrowed her eyes.
What Lin Mo said was completely fine.
A place where help is needed, and the Knights of Favonius provide help to the best of their ability?
If the Stormterror crisis could be resolved, this was completely acceptable.
After all, Mondstadt had been deeply affected by Stormterror for quite some time.
"Then, what information can you provide?"
The next second, Acting Grand Master Jean spoke.
She couldn't just believe Lin Mo because he said he would provide it.
At the very least, Lin Mo needed to present some convincing information.
"When Stormterror attacked Mondstadt, the hurricane covering Mondstadt had already revealed its origin."
Lin Mo said very directly, "Stormterror was able to whip up such a strong storm by utilizing the residual power from those abandoned Temple of the Four Winds."
"It's exactly the same as what Lisa detected."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Acting Grand Master Jean's pupils constricted sharply, and she immediately looked at Lisa.
She had just been discussing this matter with Lisa. During this attack by Stormterror, Lisa had used magic detection to provide a critical clue to ending the source of the disaster.
She hadn't even mentioned this matter, yet Lin Mo had already stated it.
Did Lin Mo also use magic detection?
But Lin Mo didn't have a Vision.
Thinking of Lin Mo's previous mysteriousness, Acting Grand Master Jean fell silent.
And Lisa also looked surprised, not expecting Lin Mo to have "stolen" her words.
"Then, let's decide on a battle plan."
Kaeya chuckled heartily, saying, "Our next target is three of those four abandoned temples."
At this moment, a virtual panel suddenly appeared before Lin Mo.
Lines of text emerged.
[With your help, you successfully enabled the Trailblazer to find her companions, bypassed Sampo, avoided being tricked by Sampo, helped the Trailblazer meet Seele, a high-ranking member of Wildfire, and after interacting with Seele, allowed the Trailblazer to successfully contact Wildfire.]
[Bronya was very surprised to see you. Even in the Overworld, she had heard of your name and didn't expect to meet you in the Underworld. Faced with unfamiliar people and surroundings, Bronya remembered your reputation among the Silvermane Guards and asked if you could assist her, provide her with some detailed information, and lend her a hand. You choose...]
It really worked.
Looking at the appearing text, Lin Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes.
His idea was feasible.
At this time, the text on the virtual panel was still continuously appearing.
[Option One: Gladly accept. Although you understand that Bronya's request likely means more trouble, you can also understand her predicament in such an environment. After all, Bronya is an important figure among the Silvermane Guards, and she clearly needs someone she can trust to provide help. Now is a very good opportunity. You nod, agreeing to her request: "Since you need it, I naturally won't stand by." Although you hesitated slightly, you still decide to help Bronya. Not only because of Bronya's...
Chapter 59: Bronya's Black Stockings and Battle Lance, Weapons Bearing the Power of the Path; Is This Going to Slay a Dragon!
[Option One: Gladly accept. Although you understand that Bronya's request likely means more trouble, you can also understand her predicament in such an environment. After all, Bronya is an important figure among the Silvermane Guards, and she clearly needs someone she can trust to provide help. Now is a very good opportunity.
You agree to her request: "Since you need it, I naturally won't stand by." Although you hesitated slightly, you still decide to help Bronya. Not only because of Bronya's identity and ability, but also because you have some understanding of her situation. You decide to pledge allegiance, willingly allow Bronya to command you, and are willing to provide all key intelligence, even without benefits, and help her open up some possible avenues.
This option means you will completely side with Wildfire. If the Wanderer organization finds out, they will inevitably become hostile towards you, and even pursue you, but you will gain Bronya's absolute trust. (Reward: Bronya's Black Stockings. Black stockings imbued with the aura of the Preservation Path, possessing the characteristic of never wearing out. Long-term wear will gradually imbue other items with the Preservation aura.)]
[Option Two: Flatly refuse. Bronya's request caught you somewhat by surprise. Although you understand her situation, you also realize that you don't want to get involved in too much trouble.
After all, in this environment, involving too much intelligence and external forces always causes headaches. You shake your head slightly, your expression calm, gently indicating that you do not intend to interfere in her affairs.
After all, your goal is not in this complex political struggle. This option means you will be feared, and even hated, by Wildfire, and unable to gain Bronya's absolute trust. (Reward: Belobog Battle Standard. A battle standard imbued with the Power of the Preservation Path. Once planted, it increases the attack power of all allied targets by 15%.)]
[Option Three: Adapt flexibly. Upon hearing Bronya's request, you neither immediately agreed nor directly refused. You pondered for a moment, thinking you could handle it calmly. You smiled slightly at Bronya and told her: "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but I don't want to directly intervene in everything. I can help you by providing some advice and information. As for what to do afterward, you still need to decide for yourself." Your gaze was firm and calm, giving people a feeling of neither completely refusing nor completely accepting.
You are prepared to flexibly adjust your stance according to the development of the situation, not allowing yourself to fall into an uncontrollable situation.
This option means that both Wildfire and the Wanderer organization, and even others, will be wary and suspicious of you, and you will not be able to gain the absolute trust of any one party (Reward: Bronya's Gorget Bayonet Lever-Action Rifle. A weapon imbued with the Power of the Preservation Path, possessing the characteristic of never wearing out. The bullets fired carry the Power of the Preservation Path, can convert all power into bullets, and the fired bullets will have an explosive effect.)]
As the three options appeared.
The next second, the text on the entire panel suddenly flickered, seemingly a lag, then flashed.
Immediately after, new text appeared.
[Facing Bronya's request, you neither refused nor agreed, but chose to respond flexibly and calmly, providing necessary information to further your own interests. You are also prepared for not gaining the absolute trust of any party, even if both sides harbor some apprehension towards you. You receive the reward for Option Three: Bronya's Gorget Bayonet Lever-Action Rifle. A weapon imbued with the Power of the Preservation Path, possessing the characteristic of never wearing out. The bullets fired carry the Power of the Preservation Path, can convert all power into bullets, and the fired bullets will have an explosive effect. (Specific effects to be tested by yourself.)]
"It's actually a weapon that bears the Power of the Path!"
Looking at the appearing option, Lin Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He was somewhat surprised by this item.
This meant that even someone without a Path could fire bullets imbued with the Power of the Preservation Path as long as they possessed this weapon.
This reward was somewhat beyond his expectations.
But for him, having this item also meant having a ranged weapon.
In Teyvat, having a powerful ranged weapon was perfectly suited.
Looking at the options he had personally orchestrated, a smile appeared in Lin Mo's eyes.
It was indeed as he had thought.
This reward option could be said to have been entirely orchestrated by him.
Because although the Honkai: Star Rail world and the Teyvat world shared some similarities, they were ultimately two different worlds.
If he had just waited for this idiotic system to make a judgment, he wouldn't know when the options would appear.
