After charging for a while, Eula's phone reached full battery, and she returned it to Lin Feng.
"Eula, do you not have work today?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled, as Eula had woken up unusually late.
"Day off!" Eula replied casually, immediately engrossing herself with her phone.
"Wanna keep playing?" Lin Feng cautiously suggested, considering he had created that world on his smartphone.
"Yes!" Eula's face brightened slightly, quickly agreeing to Lin Feng's proposal.
However, the afternoon didn't go smoothly. Eula repeatedly fell victim to endermen attacks, nearly driving her to rage. Thankfully, Lin Feng switched to creative mode, allowing Eula to mercilessly slaughter endermen, thus saving his phone from harm.
The night passed uneventfully, but many players were left frustrated by Lin Feng's newly added anti-addiction measures.
"Hahaha, check out my diamond armor! Any zombie would beg for mercy just by looking at me."
System Notification: Due to continuous play exceeding eight hours, please log out of the game.
The warning banner obstructed the screen centrally, yet the character could still move. Ignoring the message, the player chose not to click "log out" and continued playing instead.
As a result, without taking a break, their character accidentally plunged into lava...
"Ahh..." A scream followed by the sound of impact echoed through the air.
Realizing what had happened, the player hastily picked up their phone, only to find its screen shattered but still somewhat functional...
If Lin Feng knew that anti-addiction measures could actually boost sales, he'd be overjoyed beyond measure.
In Mondstadt's night, numerous players now found themselves sanctioned by these restrictions, emitting wails of despair. Even the late-night champion dog felt threatened, causing members of the Knights of Favonius to suspect an external invasion.
The next day, as usual, Lin Feng woke up to breakfast prepared by Eula. Undeniably, this lifestyle was truly comfortable.
Of course, for an even more relaxed future, he had no choice but to diligently sell phones and hopefully obtain a Vision?
Coincidentally, Eula also needed to report to the Knights, so they decided to head together.
On their way, unsurprisingly, they encountered obstructive Hilichurls. Eula reached for her sword to strike them down, but Lin Feng stopped her, wearing a mysterious expression.
He activated the Hilichurl translation app, planning to showcase his great wisdom and win Eula's admiration, capturing her heart!
"Stop! Hand over your food and Mora!" a Hilichurl shouted, pointing at them with a wooden stick.
"What valuable items could we possibly have? Go over there; more people and treasures await!" Lin Feng pointed towards Mondstadt, employing this tactic once again with even greater finesse.
Instantly enraged, the Hilichurls had heard tales from their companions about the terrifying city dwellers who stripped them naked, asking how they reproduced...
Fuming, the two Hilichurls swung their wooden sticks at Lin Feng. Fortunately, Eula swiftly intervened, eliminating both with a single strike.
Eula's gaze seemed to hold a hint of mockery, causing Lin Feng's face to flush. He realized that being able to communicate didn't necessarily solve all problems.
For instance, Paimon tried reasoning with the Hilichurls, "Can we just pop these Slime balloons for easier transportation?"
However, it was Lumine who ultimately resolved the commission through combat. The root conflict wasn't language barriers but differing perspectives.
Lumine and Paimon could only use translation effectively when unintentionally entering Hilichurl territory, easing tensions momentarily...
As Eula entered the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Lin Feng waited outside, mindful of the formidable guards stationed at the entrance.
Within the Knights' headquarters...
Lisa happened to be looking for Jean when she spotted Eula with her frosty expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Wait just a moment, let me brew some tea first. I definitely don't want to miss this!"
Eula's lips twitched slightly; she was merely here to issue a challenge, not put on a performance as this woman seemed to imply. Nonetheless, she decided to wait.
During their last sparring session, Lisa had unexpectedly recited the dark history of the Lawrence family, complete with precise dates, seemingly sourced from some unknown information channel.
Shortly after, Lisa returned with a cup of tea in hand and calmly said, "Alright, allow me to knock for you!"
Lisa opened the door to Jean's office, then found a seat nearby, watching the two with keen interest.
Upon seeing Eula, Jean also stood up, aware that Eula was there to challenge her, as always.
The pair entered the training room. Meanwhile, Klee emerged from another room, observing them curiously and asked:
"Lisa...sister, why did that super cool sister come to see Captain Jean?"
Hearing Klee call her 'sister,' Lisa smiled warmly and explained, "They're going to have a friendly spar, and I'm joining too. You stay here and keep reading, no need to follow us."
With that, Lisa followed them closely. Managing the library was incredibly dull compared to witnessing such exhilarating combat. Especially Eula's movements, which were akin to dancing, truly captivating.
Of course, her primary focus remained on Jean's Wind Pressure Sword technique, amazed by its intense vibrations.
Klee scratched her head curiously before returning to the confinement room to continue researching the enhanced Jumpy Dumpty bombs; that smartphone had proven invaluable indeed.
"Since you've recruited me into the Knights, I'll grant you a somewhat respectable defeat!" Eula gripped her sword with both hands, eyeing Jean determinedly.
Lisa couldn't help but chuckle at this remark; Eula always started their bouts with these words, yet she invariably ended up losing.
Eula glanced at Lisa and silently vowed, I won't forget this mockery!
The sparring match began swiftly, with Eula taking the initiative. Jean effortlessly blocked her strikes. Eula's swordsmanship, combined with her graceful footwork, made it seem more like a dance than a battle.
After some time...
"Wind Pressure Sword!" Jean unleashed her signature move, coveted by Ellin for quite some time.
The powerful force sent Eula flying, her sword clattering to the ground, leaving her slightly disheveled.
"I'll remember this grudge and return for revenge next time!" Eula coldly declared as she picked up her sword from the ground and left.

Outside the Knights' headquarters.
Two guards were boasting to each other, while Lin Feng listened with keen interest nearby.
Guard A: "Did you know? Yesterday, I crafted an obsidian sword and could take down zombies with just one swing."
Guard B: "That's nothing! I dug up bedrock. You know what bedrock is, right? The rock at the very bottom. I made clothes out of it and played around in lava!"
Listening to their exaggerated tales, Lin Feng couldn't help but want to laugh. However, having been trained in social etiquette, he joined in on the exaggerations.
"Let me tell you, yesterday I captured an enderman as my mount. It teleports everywhere...," Lin Feng chimed in.
As they continued talking, the conversation shifted to gripes about anti-addiction measures.
"I swear, some idiot designed that anti-addiction system. It wiped out my diamond armor set from yesterday!"
"Exactly! If I ever find out who did it, I'll beat them so hard they'd shit themselves, then make 'em eat it back!" exclaimed Guard B.
Hearing this, Lin Feng subtly took two steps backward. Suddenly, a red figure streaked through the air and landed beside him.
"Eh, what are you doing here? Has Eula arrived?" Amber descended from the sky, startling Lin Feng, while the two guards seemed unfazed by her arrival.
"Huff... Oh, yes!" Lin Feng caught his breath, understanding why the Knights might revoke her flying license; such sudden appearances could easily send people running.
