"Sure!" Lin Feng agreed without hesitation. After all, his safety was at stake, and he highly valued his own life.
Soon, his phone beeped, displaying an update announcement:
"MiHoYo System Version 1.3 Update Announcement: This update introduces two new features - Shop Review Function and Foolish One Language Translation."
Meanwhile, in the library, a young girl diligently studied books, attempting to decipher the Foolish One language, unaware that Lin Feng had already cracked it. She continued her efforts relentlessly.
After updating the system, Lin Feng foresaw that Wangsheng Funeral Parlor would undoubtedly become a zero-negative review establishment in the future!
Lin Feng opened the Foolish One Language Translation app, casually typed a word, and instantly received the translation, which also played aloud.
Carrying his groceries, Lin Feng headed towards the snow-capped mountains.
Shortly after, he unfortunately encountered three Hilichurls blocking his path.
"Bruka bongba..." The Wooden Club Hilichurl charged forward with its stick.
With trembling hands, Lin Feng opened the app and typed "hello." Promptly, the corresponding Foolish One phrase echoed from his phone.
The Hilichurls froze on the spot, scrutinizing Lin Feng before cautiously asking, "Brakagong..."
Thankfully, the million Mora spent wasn't wasted. The translation quickly appeared on his phone, read aloud in understandable speech: "You can speak with me?"
"Yes, indeed!" Lin Feng hastily nodded and inputted those words into the translator.
"Then do you know where there's a large gathering of humans? Let's go raid them!" The Hilichurl raised its stick, waving it vigorously, seemingly excited by this newfound communication.
"There's plenty over there!" Lin Feng cunningly pointed behind him towards Mondstadt, using the phone to translate his response.
"Thanks, brother!" With that, the three Wooden Club Hilichurls headed towards Mondstadt, chattering amongst themselves.
Watching their retreating figures, Lin Feng felt a sense of admiration for their courage. It was truly worth...worth...not worth emulating.
With no time to dwell on his emotions, Lin Feng swiftly ran towards the snow-capped mountains, grateful once again for this translation app.
The three wooden-stick Hilichurls arrived at Mondstadt's bridgehead, noticing the large crowd near the teleportation anchor point and instantly felt alarmed.
"Those look like Hilichurls!"
"Yes, there are three of them!"
"I lost earlier; let's go over and teach them a lesson, what do you say?"
"Together?"
Seeming uneasy, the Hilichurls swung their wooden sticks wildly, attacking the air as they retreated away from Mondstadt.
The bustling crowd quickly pursued them. With sheer numbers on their side, it didn't take long to apprehend the trio, confiscating their wooden sticks in the process.
"My phone has another update, hmm... There's now a Foolish One language translator."
"Let's try it out, see if it works."
"Release me, release me!" As someone opened the translation app, it promptly began broadcasting.
Immediately, they typed in, "Blink your eyes, and we'll set you free!"
Within seconds, the phone emitted instructions in the Foolish One language. Hearing this, the Hilichurls started blinking frantically.
"Eh, it actually works! Who's the genius behind this invention?"
"Step aside, let me ask..." Another person finished updating their phone and promptly started typing questions.
"How do Hilichurls reproduce?"
"Why do you attack humans on sight?"
"Do you have dance training? How come every Hilichurl knows how to dance..."
A barrage of inquiries echoed from the phones as the three Hilichurls frantically struggled, realizing these humans were not keeping their word.
After some time, when the crowd lost interest, they finally released the three Hilichurls. Thankfully, there were no peculiar individuals among them; otherwise, the Hilichurls might have faced...
Lin Feng returned to the small wooden cabin, where Eula was already packing her belongings. Slightly taken aback, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Eula put on a dramatic pose, saying, "My mission is complete, so I'm leaving!"
"Can I join you? I'm frail and often fall ill; who knows when I might perish alone." Lin Feng feigned tears, hoping to evoke Eula's sympathy.
Eula lifted her chin slightly, placing her right hand on her soft waist, and responded with a hint of pride, "I haven't avenged myself yet, but I'll allow you to accompany me. Just beware of my eventual revenge, hmph!"
Lin Feng quickly smiled and offered to help Eula carry her luggage. However, much to his embarrassment, he realized he couldn't lift it.
Unable to suppress a giggle, Eula let out a soft chuckle. When she laughed, Eula truly looked radiant, captivating Lin Feng's attention momentarily.
Realizing her lapse in composure, Eula remembered her strict etiquette training; such laughter was deemed inappropriate. She swiftly placed her hands on her hips and turned slightly away, saying with a huff, "Hmph, I'll remember this slight for disrupting knightly decorum!"
With that, Eula took out her phone, opened the notes app, and added another entry about Lin Feng.
Feeling awkward, Lin Feng scratched his head, but secretly found this side of Eula quite charming.
Eula carried the large pack while Lin Feng followed closely behind, holding some smaller items.
"Isn't it too heavy? Should we share the load?" Lin Feng felt somewhat guilty and promptly asked, hoping to redeem himself by quickly obtaining his Vision and using the Anemo element to alleviate the burden.
"This weight is nothing!" Eula replied proudly, continuing her ascent up the mountain.
The path up the mountain was incredibly steep and slippery at some points. Perhaps Eula was accustomed to it, but Lin Feng felt like each step was on the edge of a sheer cliff.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, they finally spotted a large house not far ahead, its roof completely covered in snow.
As they entered, Lin Feng was struck by how grand and magnificent the interior appeared. It exuded opulence yet maintained a warm, inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of the Westerly Cathedral.
Eula noticed Lin Feng's awestruck expression, her lips involuntarily curving upwards slightly without her realizing it.
"This will be your room from now on," Eula led Lin Feng to a spacious chamber.
Lin Feng observed that the room was well-furnished with everything he needed. However, feeling a sense of disappointment surged within him, knowing he couldn't share a room with Eula.
Eula picked up the vegetables from the floor and headed towards the kitchen. Lin Feng followed her, offering helpfully: "I... I can wash the vegetables for you!"
After a brief moment of hesitation, Eula nodded. In the kitchen, no words were exchanged; only the sounds of flowing water and chopping vegetables filled the air.
Lin Feng's mind raced to ease the awkwardness and asked casually, "Do you know who called you today?"
At the same time, Eula blurted out, "Did someone call me today?"
Their voices overlapped, causing both to feel slightly embarrassed. A faint blush crept onto Eula's fair cheeks.
Amber often shared romantic novel scenarios with her, and this situation reminded Eula of one such plotline. Typically, after these encounters, characters would gradually develop into a couple.
However, she wasn't that shallow. With her mission to seek revenge against Mondstadt, how could she allow herself to easily fall in love?
