Chapter 31 - Chapter 31

The next battle is a little unsuitable for children.

So, let's shift our focus to the city of Mondstadt!

After all, two girls who have mastered the Eight Gates (Bamen Dunjia) defeating a group of Treasure Thieves is indeed a little extreme.

In less than a short while, the members of this Treasure Thief group were all apprehended.

This is no surprise.

Who could have known that these two girls would be so powerful?

Even Irene and Noelle, the maid of the Knights, were just as impressive! 

But what are maids even doing fighting?

One by one, the members of the dozen or so treasure thieves in front of them all had black circles under their eyes. If it weren't for Noelle's kinder nature, they would have already been sent packing.

What kind of skill is the Eight Gates? Kaihuang can kick the big ending just by opening the Eight Gates!

A mere group of treasure thieves? Rubbish!

After a while, the commotion attracted the attention of the nearby patrol members of the Knights.

Noelle simply explained the purpose of their visit and handed over the criminals Irene had dealt with to the Knights.

Then, she took Irene and walked back toward Mondstadt.

Mission accomplished!

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to Mondstadt.

At this moment, Mike, who had just received the news, looked at the two girls in front of him in shock.

Unscathed?

Irene, weren't you just an intern?

It's unbelievable that you dealt with a member of the Treasure Thieves unscathed!

And did I hear this correctly? Noelle nearly demolished the entire Thousand Winds Temple?

This is simply incredible!

"Irene?" Mike asked.

"A trainee knight of the West Wind Knights, Irene, reporting to you!" Irene responded quickly, placing her right hand on her chest and performing the customary knight's salute.

Mike, at a loss for words, cleared his throat.

"Ahem!"

"First of all, congratulations, Irene, on joining the Zephyr Knights!" Mike said with a helpless smile before continuing.

"According to the rules of the Knights and the orders issued by Captain Jean, after completing your assessment, you will be an apprentice knight of the West Wind Knights!"

"During the apprenticeship, everything must be assessed according to the rules of the Knights!"

"Your knight badge will be issued to you within three days, and you can then take a good rest!"

After Mike finished his announcement, many people around looked at him in disbelief.

Irene, this little girl, actually joined the Knights?

Everyone knew why Irene was able to join the Knights. It was because of the anime screening room in front of them.

From there, Irene gained a power that even the Knights shouldn't underestimate.

Thus, Irene was exceptionally admitted as an apprentice knight!

She was now a real knight, set to officially join after her one-year internship period.

Suddenly, Takumi's anime screening room exploded with excitement.

"Have you heard? Irene has now become an apprentice knight of the Knights Order!"

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes! I heard that Irene and Noelle received the Kaihuang's inheritance when they watched *Naruto*!"

"Emperor Kai? Who's that...?"

"Just by listening, it's clear you haven't watched anime seriously. Emperor Kai, it's Might Guy!"

"You're talking about Xiao Lizi's master? Is he strong?"

"I don't know how strong he is, but those two girls just wiped out the entire treasure thief group. What do you think?"

"Wow! Then what are we waiting for? I heard that the first season is already online!"

"Seriously? Get on the ground now! I'm going to learn fire escape techniques today! Otherwise, I'll binge-watch the entire season!"

The crowd outside Takumi's shop was more excited than ever.

The newly drawn anime, *Naruto*, along with the first season, had completely captured the attention of the adventurers in the city.

Especially after the full content of *Naruto*'s first season launched, even those who had no interest in it started to tune in!

This led to Takumi's promotion task finally being completed.

"Open the task panel to check the progress of the task."

---

"Do you want to start construction now?"

Takumi checked the time, which had already passed five o'clock in the afternoon. There were a number of adventurers outside his door, who had just completed a mission for Catherine and were redeeming it for a bit of Mora. They were now headed toward his shop.

Outside, many residents had lined up.

---

"What? Temporarily closed today?"

"What's going on? I made a special trip to watch anime!"

"That's right, Boss Takumi, are you not even doing the night business today?"

Many people who had lined up to watch anime were confused.

Takumi finally explained.

"Sorry everyone, the equipment in the anime screening room is being upgraded, so we'll be closed for today."

"One day from now, the screening room will launch new works along with brand-new equipment."

"When the time comes, everyone will know..."

With the explanation, the adventurers who had lined up understood. Though disappointed, they had no choice but to wait.

Once the crowd cleared, Takumi returned to the shop and closed the door.

He then summoned the system.

---

"System, everything is ready. Let's start constructing the Internet system!"

---

**[Ding! Host's application has been accepted.]**

**[Construction of the Teyvat Internet system in Mondstadt area has begun! Please wait... 24 hours remaining.]**

---

"Alright, everything's set. Let's get started!" Takumi said as he watched the system begin the transformation.

The construction of the Mondstadt Internet system had begun, and now, Teyvat was taking a step toward modernity.
