Chapter 539

Dr. Ratio: "The situation depends on when Qlipoth drops its hammer."

Hu Tao: "So this Mr. Odi, he's at least a few hundred years old?"

Xiangling: "It should be like that."

Xiangling: "That really is a long life!"

Silver Wolf: "In the universe, long-lived species aren't rare."

Silver Wolf: "Living a few hundred years isn't anything unusual."

Silver Wolf: "After all, plenty of people live a few thousand years, and even ten-thousand-year-olds aren't unheard of."

Furina: "Phew... thinking about it that way, I'm still quite young!"

Xia Luodi: "Lady Furina... five hundred years old isn't exactly young, is it??"

March 7th: "Huh???"

March 7th: "Young Lady Furina is five hundred years old??"

March 7th: "You're a long-lived species too?!"

Furina: "Uh... I... I guess so?"

Neuvillette: "Lady Furina is a deity of Fontaine, blessed with the body of a god, and possesses an immensely long lifespan."

Stelle: "Goodness!"

Stelle: "A native deity too!"

Stelle: "Awesome!"

Stelle: "Who would've thought Young Lady Furina had such a distinguished identity!"

Stelle: "So if we find Teyvat, couldn't we use this connection to swagger around?"

Furina: "Ahaha... whatever deity or not... it's all just an empty title!"

Furina: "I'm still young, nowhere near as old as the other venerable seniors!!"

Boothill: "Well, I'll be damned—didn't expect you folks from this backw... ahem, ordinary world to actually have some tricks up your sleeve."

Boothill: "Who's the longest-lived person among you?"

Paimon: "The longest-lived person??"

Paimon: "That would probably be... Morax?"

Paimon: "Seems like he's at least six thousand-something years old?"

Miss Qingque: "Six thousand-something years old?!"

Miss Qingque: "Goodness, that really is a long life!"

Miss Qingque: "The Divine Bow, that venerable elder, doesn't seem to be six thousand-something years old either, does he?"

Miss Qingque: "Living that long, aren't you afraid of mara-stricken bodies?"

Zhong Li: "Mara-stricken body?"

Zhong Li: "Could it be some other form of erosion?"

General Jing Yuan: "Erosion?"

General Jing Yuan: "That word does fit rather aptly."

General Jing Yuan: "Indeed, the so-called mara-stricken body can be considered a form of erosion of the spirit."

Venti: "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems longevity comes with some price no matter where you are?"

Nahida: "No... that may not necessarily be the case."

Nahida: "Lumine is also a long-lived species. Her exact age is unknown, but at the very least she must be several hundred to over a thousand years old."

Nahida: "But her spirit hasn't eroded in the slightest—on the contrary, it's grown even more vigorous."

Stelle: "?"

Stelle: "Lumine, sis, you're that old?!"

Lumine: "Uh... I... I don't remember either!"

Lumine: "M... maybe I am?"

March 7th: "Oh dear... at that age, she could be our great-great-great-grandmother, couldn't she?"

Zhong Li: "But by general reason, her current age, compared to her vast lifespan, is like that of an infant."

Stelle: "Oh! Got it!"

Stelle: "Even though she's a few hundred years old, we're still the same age!!"

Hu Tao: "Wait... what did I just hear?"

Hu Tao: "Lumine is several hundred, even over a thousand years old???"

Hu Tao: "Are you all kidding me?"

Venti: "Oh my... this is truly shocking!"

Nahida: "It may sound unbelievable, but Lumine is a Descender—she doesn't originally belong to our continent of Teyvat."

Amber: "It... it's actually like that?"

Amber: "Who would've thought the Honorary Knight really isn't from our continent of Teyvat?"

Lumine: "I ended up here by accident."

Lumine: "Before, my brother and I traveled together through the starry sky."

Welt: "To be able to roam the starry sky and travel by one's own ability... it seems your sibling's true identities are quite extraordinary as well....."

Himeko: "Likewise, this continent of Teyvat may not be as simple as we thought."

The video continues.

【Oink... oink?】

There was still a while before the meeting began,

Bored Topa was playing around with Zhangzhang.

But as they played,

Topa received a call from the company.

【Hello?】

【... The Talent Motivation Department again? Internal affairs review? When will this ever end?】

【.....】

【I'm running a key project, I don't have time to argue with you.】

【.....】

【My handling of the Jarilo-VI case was approved by a high-level resolution.】

【The project logs and call records are all complete—can't you look into them yourselves?】

【I really can't figure it out... you keep fixating on this small case and constantly escalating it—what exactly are your intentions?】

March 7th: "Oh, it seems the Yalilo matter has truly troubled Miss Topa."

Stelle: "Probably someone in the company is exploiting this for their own ends?"

Miss Qingque: "Isn't the Talent Incentive Department just a department that draws big pies?"

Miss Qingque: "Do they even handle this kind of thing?"

Bronya: "It's regrettable that Miss Topa has been made to suffer so."

Topa: "Ugh, these people are just making trouble out of nothing."

Topa: "Yalilo isn't even a particularly important location in the company's strategic investment portfolio."

Topa: "Besides, all my decisions were approved by senior leadership, especially since the Star Rail is backing us."

Topa: "Still, some malicious individuals won't let go."

Sandgold: "Heh, probably the Market Expansion Department—our old rivals—did this."

Sandgold: "You know how they are, always so disgusting."

Sandgold: "Just like their master."

Stelle: "Unbelievable! Oswaldo has completely shamed the Faceless!"

Stelle: "On behalf of the Star Rail, I declare Oswaldo stripped of his Faceless status!"

March 7th: "I second that!"

March 7th: "Let someone who ruins our reputation wear the Faceless title? It's an insult!"

Brother Dan Heng: "Not Faceless—former Faceless."

Furina: "Suddenly, I wonder if the train crew will have to clean house in the future?"
