"[Your divinity has reached 100, triggering the hidden quest 'Converging the Gnosis'!]
[Please have a Gnosis holder help you catch 1000 fish within 365 days!]
[Quest Reward: 'Exclusive Gnosis,' '2D Mystery Gift Box']
[Failure Penalty: -9999 divinity]
"What's going on here!?"
Jams looked at the quest details, and his face immediately turned grim.
"Wow, I've worked so hard to accumulate just enough divinity to reach 100 points, and the quest failure deducts a whopping 9999 divinity."
The penalty for this quest is practically ten thousand!
Before obtaining the tyrant's imposing aura, divinity was merely a rare attribute to Jams.
After obtaining the tyrant's imposing aura, reaching 1000 divinity would awaken the third stage of the aura, 'Divine Might'!
Jams was highly anticipating the 'Divine Might,' so he had been thinking about how to quickly increase his divinity lately.
However, instead of finding a way to quickly increase his divinity, a way to rapidly diminish his divinity conveniently presented itself.
"Damn system, it seems to be deliberately challenging me..."
Jams rubbed his messy hair and repeatedly checked the quest requirements.
"The quest is to have a Gnosis holder help me catch a thousand fish... This is just ridiculous."
If the quest required assistance from a 'Vision' holder, Jams would find it too easy.
But the quest demands assistance from a 'Gnosis' holder...
The 'Vision' is the possession of the chosen, while the 'Gnosis' is the exclusive item of the Archons!
Although these two things only differ by one character, the wearer's identity distinguishes between humans and gods!
"Do they want the Archons to work for me...? Although I did think about it, it's too early for that now."
Jams surveyed the empty room, and the image and laughter of his "good bro" Venti came to mind.
"No, Venti, the lazy bum, definitely won't help me with fishing. He would even find fishing tiresome."
First, ruling out the lazy Anemo Archon Venti, Jams shifted his focus to the other Archons.
"Morax, the Geo Lord, he doesn't lack money and is quite formidable... It's unrealistic to ask him for help with fishing."
"Beelzebul, the Electro Archon... She would probably just attack me directly."
"Nahida, the Grass Goddess under the Divine Thighs... She is reasonable enough, but she's currently busy battling the Tenryou Commission. She won't have time to help me with fishing."
"..."
Jams' brow furrowed tighter and his expression became extremely serious.
This shouldn't be the case.
The system isn't a dog; it wouldn't issue an impossible quest!
If the quest can be completed, then where is the breakthrough?
Jams fell into contemplation. He vaguely felt that this quest had potential, but he hadn't found the right direction yet.
Chaotic thoughts were like a tangled ball of yarn scratched by a cat's claws, making it impossible to find the thread that could solve the problem in a short time.
"A Gnosis holder, besides the Archons, who else could it be..."
Just as Jams' mind was in turmoil, a knight's voice suddenly came from outside the room.
"Captain Jean, there's a woman claiming to be a Fatui consultant waiting outside. She says she can help solve the impact of the dragon disaster!"
..."
Silence filled Jean's office.
"The Fatui... That's it!"
In a moment of enlightenment, Jams' furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
"The Fatui! That's right! How could I forget about those guys!"
Upon hearing the name "Fatui," the direction for acquiring the Gnosis became clear for Jams.
However, the key didn't lie with the lackeys of the Fatui but with the eighth Harbinger, the "Fair Lady" Rosalyne!
Based on Jams' understanding of the storyline in Genshin Impact, after resolving the issue with Stormterror, this sexy and elegant lady would make her appearance and snatch the "Gnosis" belonging to Venti!
By doing so, she would naturally become the "Gnosis holder"!
"The quest requires the assistance of a Gnosis holder to help catch a thousand fish, but it didn't specify that the person must be one of the Seven Archons."
Jams stroked his chin, a mischievous smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "If the Fair Lady takes away Venti's Gnosis and I capture her, forcing her to obediently catch a thousand fish for me..."
"After all, she's not one of us, so I wouldn't feel bad bossing her around. If she dares to be lazy, I'll whip her with a small leather whip! No sleeping or eating allowed!"
Tsk tsk tsk~
Jams envisioned the scene of the glamorous and elegant lady helplessly fishing by the lakeside, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation.
With this plan in place, all the problems would be solved effortlessly!
"I'm a damn genius."
Jams leaned back on the sofa, a wicked smile on his face, emanating the aura of a mastermind villain.
"Hiss..."
Anastasia, the Fool's Eighth Harbinger, who had just entered the Knights of Favonius, caught sight of Jams' figure and suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
"..."
Anastasia tightened the high-collared windbreaker she was wearing and couldn't help but ask the knight who accompanied her, "Who is that man in the room?"
"He's called Jams, a friend of Jean, the acting Grand Master."
The knight casually replied and then arrived in front of Jean's office, saying lightly, "Go in, Jean has agreed to your request for a conversation."
Anastasia nodded silently and stepped into Jean's office.
...
"Heh."
Jams also sensed the prying eyes of the Fool's envoy, but he didn't mind.
As a qualified fisher, he had plenty of patience.
All he had to do now was wait.
Wait for the Dragon's Wrath to subside, and for the Fair Lady, an executive of the Fatui, to make her move and snatch Venti's Gnosis.
"When the time comes, I'll strike from behind, using the pretext of seeking revenge for Venti, and forcefully keep the Fair Lady in Mondstadt!"
Jams took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet and poured himself a glass.
Ding!
The liquid in the crystal goblet swayed gently, like a purple-red flame flickering.
"After all, I'm not a devil; I'm just asking the Fair Lady to help me catch a thousand fish. Heh..."
...
Late at night.
In a dimly lit secret room.
Anastasia, the Fool's envoy, half knelt before a tall and elegant white-haired lady.
"Fair Lady, today I encountered a strange man in the Knights of Favonius."
"Oh?"
The Fair Lady tilted her head slightly, her pale purple eyes calm and unfathomable.
"He exudes an aura of evil. People like him don't last long in the Knights of Favonius. I think we should consider recruiting him as one of us!"
After leaving the Knights of Favonius, Anastasia couldn't help but recall Jams' figure from time to time and increasingly felt that he might be a potential talent.
"I secretly gathered some information about that man in the city. His name is Jams, not a Mondstadt local, and he enjoys fishing. He possesses considerable strength and is said to have directly faced and defeated Stormterror!"
"Defeated Stormterror head-on?"
Finally, a trace of interest appeared in the Fair Lady's pale purple eyes. Her bosom, slightly leaning forward, gave off an impression of instability, even in the dim room, it was dazzlingly white.
"Jams... Since he is a powerful individual worth cultivating, I will personally make contact with him."
