"Sure enough, the feeling just now was not an illusion."

The moment he saw the bright smiles of Ying and Paimon, Gao Muming realized that they had something to talk to him about and had the urge to stop and turn around and leave.

Paimon on the opposite side, after seeing Gao Muming's hesitant expression, also remembered what happened in the Fatui base last night, and looked at Gao Muming up and down with some suspicion.

"Takagi Akira, you said you would give us a share of Mora's, but you didn't even tell us where to get it. Did you intend to keep it all for yourself from the beginning?"

Hearing Paimon's accusation, Gao Muming hurriedly rubbed his hands and came to the two of them like a lackey.

"How could that be? You left too fast and didn't make it in time. And I believe that with our close relationship, we will definitely meet again one day. Look, we have seen each other after only one night."

Then Gao Muming looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he approached Ying and Paimon and asked in a low voice.

"From the looks of you just now, it seems like you came to see me on purpose. Aren't you busy rescuing Tevarin right now? How do you have time to look for someone like me?"

Gao Muming, who still remembered the sporadic plots of Mond in the game, was looking at Ying and Paimon in confusion at this moment, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Strange, it's really strange. According to the plot, shouldn't they be with Jean and Diluc, searching for Tevarin's tears?"

"Could it be that the plot has shifted because of me?"

"Did Diluk buy the bottle that truly contained the power of the wind god? With the replenishment element, there's no need to look for Tevarin's tears anymore?"

In front of Ying and Paimon, Gao Muming's expression kept changing.

Hearing Gao Muming's question, Paimon pointed at Ying beside him.

"Ying wants to talk to you about something."

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Paimon's words, Gao Muming looked at Ying with some confusion. Seeing Gao Muming's puzzled eyes, Ying coughed lightly and then spoke.

"Well, of course I'm looking for you for something good. It's something that can make me a lot of money."

Hearing what Ying said, Gao Muming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"A good thing that can make a lot of money?"

Ying nodded, flipped her palm and a rolled-up map appeared in her hand. She then shook the map in her hand at Gao Muming.

"I obtained from Qin a map of ruins that are rarely visited and can be freely explored and excavated."

Hearing Ying say this, Gao Muming couldn't help but smile, rubbed his hands together, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, that's why I say that we have a very close relationship, family, are you going to sell this map to me? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a very good price."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying shook her head.

"No, no, no, I'm not planning on selling the map to you. I just thought that you're an experienced expert in excavating ruins, so I came to ask you if you want to go with me. I can give you a share of the spoils from the exploration."

Hearing Ying's question, Gao Muming nodded excitedly.

"There is such a good thing? Then I will definitely agree."

Seeing that Gao Muming agreed without thinking, Ying couldn't help but hold his hand.

"And one more thing."

When Gao Muming heard the turn in Ying's words, he thought the matter was over, but Ying's words came into Gao Muming's ears like the sound of nature.

"That means I have the first choice among the things found."

Hearing Ying's request, Gao Muming nodded quickly and agreed.

"Hey, I thought it was something like that. You have the first choice, that's how it should be."

"Without further ado, let's set out quickly."

Having said that, Ying pulled Gao Muming and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

After breaking free from Ying's hand, Gao Muming spoke out to stop Ying's actions.

"I'm here to collect my reward. Wait for me to hand it over to the people from Dawn Winery first."

"Well, go ahead."

Ying looked at Gao Muming's back as he walked into the Dawn Winery. After exchanging a glance with Paimon, he smiled with some complacency.

"What do you think? I told you there's a way to get Gao Muming to agree, right? Look, he'd be very happy to agree to go with us now."

"Aren't you afraid that he'll find out you're lying to him?"

Hearing Paimon's question, Ying spread his hands.

"Did I lie to him? No, did I? We are indeed going to the remote ruins, right?"

"That's right, but we concealed what we were looking for. Moreover, in order to prevent him from leaving Mondstadt and returning to Liyue immediately after receiving his reward, we also informed the head maid Adeline here and asked her to find an excuse to delay Gao Muming for a few days. Generally speaking, this kind of behavior of ours is cheating, right?"

Hearing Paimon's words, Ying put her hands on her hips and showed a disdainful expression.

"What are you talking about? What is his purpose in going with us? Does he want to know what we are looking for? No, he just wants to explore the ruins and dig for treasures with us. Does he know that what we want will affect his purpose? No, right?"

"We are helping him get rich. Besides, it doesn't matter whether it's in Mondstadt or Liyue. It's his job anyway - exploring and excavating ruins. He still has me to thank."

Gao Muming, who had separated from Ying and Paimon, had just pushed open the door of the Dawn Winery and walked in when he was stopped by a well-dressed Eze.

Eze looked up and down at Gao Muming, who was dressed like a businessman, with a very obscure look, and then looked back to see that there was no one following Gao Muming.

"Hello, I'm Eze, the executive chairman of the Wine Guild. Is this your first time to discuss cooperation? I'm sorry, because of the Wind Dragon, the grape harvest this year is not good. The amount of new wine from Dawn Winery is limited, and the trade route is blocked by overly active monsters, so this year's wine will not be supplied to new customers."

Hearing Eze's words, Takagi Ming waved his hand.

"No, it's Master Diluk. I'm here to collect my reward from the head maid Adeline."

At this time, a somewhat majestic female voice sounded.

"You are Takagi Akira, right? I already know the situation, please follow me."

The head maid Adeline took Gao Muming to a corner, and Gao Muming handed over the letter that Diluk had given her.

Adeline took the letter but did not open it, she just put it aside.

Seeing Adeline's actions, Takagi Akira asked.

"Don't you want to open it and take a look?"

Adeline just shook her head very politely.

"Master Diluk has already given me the message about your reward, so there is no need to read it again."

Adeline's voice changed as she spoke.

"It's just that there is a little trouble regarding your compensation."

Hearing Adeline's words, Gao Muming couldn't help but repeat it.

"trouble?"
