Chapter 8: Keqing

"Lady Keqing!"

"Lady Keqing, what brings you here?"

"Lady Keqing."

Watching the young lady walk in, the Millelith squad leader present did not show the slightest negligence, greeting her respectfully at the first moment with excitement in his eyes.

This was the Yuheng of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing, Keqing!

To think she would come to their location.

"No need for such formalities."

Looking at the respectfully greeting Keqing, the arriving Keqing shook her head gently: "I have come this time mainly for the Millelith recruitment here; I need to mobilize some personnel. Do you know how many spare personnel you have here?"

With the Lantern Rite approaching, there were vacancies for the Millelith everywhere, and she had come mainly to mobilize personnel from here.

"Such a small matter, there was no need for Lady Keqing to come personally; we would have taken the initiative to send them to Lady Keqing."

Hearing Keqing's words, a Millelith squad leader hurriedly said: "We have also recruited some new Millelith members these days. Although many did not pass, there are those who did. These are their lists and information, as well as their relevant martial arts."

As he spoke, this Millelith squad leader immediately handed the registered information forms of the Millelith who had passed recruitment to Keqing.

They also knew that Keqing was a person of swift and decisive action, so they did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Mm."

Seeing the straightforward and efficient Millelith squad leader, Keqing nodded gently.

Being able to pass the assessment of veteran Millelith proved that the people who came to apply for the Millelith were not bad.

Even though the Millelith had expanded somewhat due to a shortage of manpower, not just anyone could be taken in.

Moreover, being able to pass the assessment of veteran Millelith meant they certainly possessed strength.

Keqing flipped through the list briefly and nodded gently.

However, as she flipped through it, she suddenly stopped at a certain form.

On this form.

There was only simple information.

[Name]: Lin Mo.

[Age]: Eighteen.

[Martial Arts]: Sword Art.

The simple introduction made Keqing look at the martial arts section at the first moment.

To think there was someone capable of mastering sword art, and at such a young age.

This couldn't help but make her take an extra look.

After thinking for a moment, Keqing spoke: "This person named Lin Mo actually knows sword art, and is so young; is there any other information?"

"Lin Mo?"

"Sword art?"

Hearing Keqing's words, the Millelith squad leader present was stunned.

They did not know who Lin Mo was, nor did they know that among those who successfully applied, there was one who knew sword art.

They had a very deep impression of those who successfully applied.

Because not many people passed the recruitment.

But they had no impression of this now, and subconsciously, they looked at Dao'er.

What Lady Keqing was referring to should be the list that this Dao'er had just brought back.

Dao'er had just said that among the people who came to apply, there were good seedlings.

"Uh, Lady Keqing."

Seeing the gazes of everyone looking over, Dao'er hurriedly said: "When I was coming back just now, I also had the General Affairs Office check. This Lin Mo does not seem to be from our Liyue. Currently, all I know is a name and age, but the sword art he mastered is quite extraordinary; he defeated the assessing Millelith with just one move."

"And I also exchanged a few words with him, feeling that he is quite good. If I really had to say any information, he is very handsome and refined."

Speaking of this, Dao'er paused and hesitated: "It's as if he is not an ordinary person, but a child of a wealthy family; the temperament he carries is different from ordinary people."

"And to know such powerful sword art, I feel he might be from another nation."

"It is very likely he came from the nation of Mondstadt."

Having interacted with Lin Mo before, although the time was not long, he felt that Lin Mo's manner of speaking did not seem like that of an ordinary person.

The General Affairs Office could not find any information on him in Liyue either.

"Young, handsome, good-looking?"

Hearing these words from Dao'er, there was a hint of astonishment in Keqing's beautiful purple eyes.

Clearly, Keqing had not expected such an answer either.

However, since this Millelith said he passed the assessment, and is young and knows sword art, then it must be true.

Keqing nodded gently: "I understand. Have the General Affairs Office check for more information. The Lantern Rite is approaching, so please everyone, put in more effort."

While speaking, Keqing took out a small notebook and wrote down Lin Mo's name.

"Yes!"

"Received, Lady Keqing?!"

Hearing Keqing's words, these few Millelith squad leaders immediately nodded with respectful expressions, their tones filled with excitement.

Lady Keqing actually told them to put in more effort; this was motivating them.

Immediately, after giving a few more instructions, Keqing left with the list.

"Phew."

Watching Keqing leave, a Millelith squad leader let out a long sigh: "I don't know why, every time I see Lady Keqing, although I feel Lady Keqing is easy to talk to, that cold temperament of hers makes me feel a bit nervous."

"Haha, me too, but Lady Keqing has always been like this; her actions are always simple, direct, and efficient."

"Alright, everyone, come look at the map, so we can arrange these new Millelith members and see which place is more suitable."

One Millelith squad leader after another spoke with a smile.

Immediately, they gathered together and began to analyze.

In front of them was a map of Liyue Harbor.

Including inside and outside the city, many places were marked with pens; those were the places for the Millelith to patrol.

Time passed quietly like this, and after everyone judged, planned, and discussed, the places that Lin Mo and the others were responsible for were finalized.

After finalizing all this, Dao'er left to find Lin Mo and the others.

When he arrived at the residence where Lin Mo was staying, he saw Lin Mo who had just returned. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Lin Mo, you returned just in time."

"Oh?"

Lin Mo, who had just finished walking around, looked at the arriving Dao'er and immediately smiled: "It is indeed quite a coincidence."

After Dao'er left, he had simply walked around the surroundings of Liyue.

He discovered that the streets of Liyue were indeed somewhat different from what he understood, but the difference was not large.

The reason for the difference was that the buildings, streets, and such were all very large and long.

Although Lin Mo did not walk much, it still took quite a bit of time.

At the same time, he also judged that if one wanted to walk through the entirety of Liyue and see the whole of Liyue Harbor, playing within Liyue Harbor would take at least several days of effort.

"The place you are responsible for has been decided; it is over at the Guyun Stone Forest."

Dao'er did not delay, directly handing Lin Mo a money pouch while saying: "This is 10,000 Mora; it is your entry bonus. You can use Mora to buy some things."

"In the evening, the Millelith waist tag belonging to you will be crafted and sent over, along with the unified Millelith uniform. The clothes are made of high-quality silk. Considering you know sword art, the Millelith spear will not be issued to you; you will be given a sword crafted from the same material."

"Your daily working hours are from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, lunch at noon, the afternoon will be a bit harder, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM is your rest time, and you also need to be on duty from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM."

"Over at the Guyun Stone Forest, there is also a Millelith station. Regarding any matters where you need to ask for leave or clock in, just go there and register."

"Just clock in and sign in for work every day."

"When patrolling over at the Guyun Stone Forest, you need to be careful; you might encounter some monsters, but don't worry."

"If you can't solve the problem, go back and report it, or pull a companion to go together. The Guyun Stone Forest is still quite safe."

"That place is also quite nice, better than inside the city. Don't look at how safe and leisurely it is inside the city; you often encounter trivial matters, and if you don't handle them well, it's even more troublesome."

Dao'er described the place Lin Mo would be responsible for next.

As he spoke, Dao'er suddenly complained a bit.

Clearly, Dao'er seemed to have quite a story.

Hearing Dao'er's words, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and nodded: "Understood."

Sure enough, just as he thought, it was not inside Liyue Harbor.

The Guyun Stone Forest is also close to Liyue.

To be precise, it is outside Liyue Harbor.

However, Lin Mo did not expect that Liyue would be so generous.

Issuing 10,000 Mora just for joining.

And this was not even his salary.

Being a Millelith, life is still quite good.

"Alright, that's all I have to say; I still need to go notify others."

Seeing that Lin Mo understood, Dao'er nodded, and after speaking briefly, he left.

"Just in time to go have dinner."

Weighing the Mora in his hand, Lin Mo chuckled.

Now that he had money, he could walk around Liyue and have dinner by the way.

Liyue's sky had already turned dark, and Liyue at night was even more prosperous than during the day.

Compared to the day, there were even more people in Liyue at night.

The scene of flowers and brocade inside Liyue Harbor made people unable to help but be captivated.

Lin Mo strolled on the ancient road paved with stone slabs, feeling the hustle and bustle coming from all directions.

The endless stream of people shuttled through the narrow streets, wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothing, with elegant hair accessories on their heads, their faces filled with laughter and joy.

Following the streets he understood, Lin Mo arrived at the Chihu Rock street in no time.

Having come to Liyue and having money, Lin Mo felt he could experience the food here.

Soon, Lin Mo bought a fragrant grilled beast meat sausage.

However, after paying, Lin Mo suddenly felt that the 10,000 Mora he had obtained earlier was not enough to spend.

Because this fragrant grilled beast meat sausage in his hand.

Actually cost 755 Mora!!!!

"Perhaps I should learn about the prices in Liyue."

While eating the grilled beast meat sausage, Lin Mo rubbed his brow.

This grilled beast meat sausage was the most expensive sausage he had ever eaten.

If he ate outside every meal, for a short time, 10,000 Mora was truly not enough to spend.
