Jean stood at the front, holding two gleaming medals, while Lin Feng captured the moment with his phone for the live stream. These medals were sponsored by Lin Feng himself, and he had convinced Jean to award them.

By honoring individuals, people would strive harder and be less likely to slack off! Without hesitation, Jean readily agreed.

"Thank you for your contributions to Mondstadt!" Nodding towards the recipients, Jean placed the medals around their necks before stepping aside.

Now it was time for Lin Feng's performance.

"Cough, cough. Some of you may not know how Stormterror was defeated or why they received these hero medals today. Allow me to share the tale!" Clearing his throat, Lin Feng began narrating dramatically.

"That fateful day, dark clouds loomed overhead as fierce winds howled. Our Honorary Knight and Spindrift Knight, deeply concerned for the safety of Mondstadt's citizens..."

"With shared determination, they led Stormterror to Windrise, engaging in an intense battle that shook heaven and earth. Both heroes nearly made the ultimate sacrifice!"

"However, remembering that failure would bring suffering upon Mondstadt's citizens, they found renewed strength and decisively vanquished Stormterror."

"Everyone thinks it ended there, right? No, no, no! At that moment, those despicable Fatui arrived, furious at their interference with her plans..."

Paimon discreetly whispered into Lumine's ear, "Traveler, how does he come up with these tales? It's making me sleepy already. Shouldn't we go grab something to eat instead?"

Lumine shook her head and softly replied, "Let him finish; afterward, he'll give us Mora and Primogems. Still want to leave now?"

"Nah, not anymore. Actually, I find it quite entertaining, hehe!" Paimon scratched her head, letting out an awkward laugh.

Fortunately, Lin Feng wasn't one for lengthy speeches. After a "simple" recount of their heroic deeds, he concluded the commendation ceremony!

"Here's your reward, Traveler!" Smiling, Lin Feng handed Lumine a bag filled with Mora and several dozen gleaming Primogems.

Eula stood nearby, observing Lin Feng and casually asked, "Are we done here? I still have monsters to purge!"

"Heh, yes, all set!" Lin Feng nodded, knowing his remaining task was to continue streaming!

Eula nodded and promptly left. The crowd swiftly parted to let her pass, their expressions somewhat mixed.

"Hey... we're about to leave Mondstadt, can I get a refund?" Paimon looked at Lin Feng, inquiring.

She felt it was crucial to accompany the Traveler in searching for her brother, rather than getting sidetracked by gadgets!

"Uh..." Lin Feng's lips twitched slightly before he smiled and said, "Are you worried there won't be signal in Liyue? Don't fret; we'll install a signal base station in a few days!"

"Really?" Paimon's face lit up with joy as she gazed at Lin Feng. After all, she had numerous fans, even though she hadn't started broadcasting yet...

"Absolutely! My goal is to cover the entire Teyvat Continent with mobile network!" Lin Feng nodded confidently.

"What a grand ambition!" Paimon smiled, nodded approvingly, and waved goodbye to Lin Feng before leaving.

Lin Feng returned to his office and summoned the nine Cyber Knights. As for the phone sales, he let them continue handling that.

"Cough, cough, I might be leaving Mondstadt in a few days! In truth, my dream is to benefit everyone across the Teyvat Continent, providing simpler and more convenient lives..."

Lin Feng spoke passionately about his noble aspirations, but truthfully, Mondstadt's market had reached its saturation point for Mora earnings. It was now time to expand elsewhere.

"Ellin, can you step outside for a moment?" After finishing his speech, Lin Feng called Ellin aside.

"The Captain, is something wrong?" Ellin looked at Lin Feng with curiosity. Her moderation standards were exceptionally strict; no borderline content could pass through her scrutiny.

In contrast, Noelle tended to be more lenient, often allowing almost everything. She believed that rejecting someone would cause them undue distress. As a result, Ellin frequently tried to guide Noelle on this matter.

"With your strong learning ability and excellent recent performance, I've decided to recommend you as the Deputy Captain of the Cyber Knights squad. Do you have any thoughts or concerns?" Lin Feng smiled warmly at Ellin, seeking her input.

"No objections!" Ellin shook her head, her heart bursting with joy.

Seeing Ellin's fervent expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but worry if he might lose his position by the time he returns from Liyue.

"Hmm..." Nodding, Lin Feng then proceeded towards Jean's office.

***

"What? You're going to Liyue?" Jean looked at Lin Feng with surprise.

Despite his personal motives, Lin Feng's achievements were undeniable, bringing smiles to the faces of Mondstadt's residents.

"Yes... I'm planning to expand our mobile phone market there. My vision is for everyone to explore all seven nations without leaving their homes!" Lin Feng nodded, expressing his noble aspirations.

"Hmm..." After a moment of hesitation, Jean agreed. With the network now well-established and the Cyber Knights capable of handling most issues, she saw no issue with it.

As Lin Feng stepped out, he bumped into Klee.

"Lin Feng, you're going to Liyue?" Klee looked up at him, sounding quite crestfallen. If he left, nobody would take her out to play during her confinement!

"Yeah... but I'll be back soon, and I'll bring you some delicious treats!" Lin Feng smiled reassuringly.

"Oh... okay, Miss Honorary Knight has also gone away, so Klee won't have any friends around..." Klee nodded, still feeling quite disheartened.

"Klee!" Suddenly, someone else entered the room, smiling warmly at her.

"Brother Albedo!" Klee instantly rushed over and hugged Albedo tightly.

Lin Feng's lips twitched slightly; where did all the reluctance go?

"Hello, I'm Albedo. You must be the new Cyber Knight! Thank you for taking care of Klee. She mentioned you over the phone." Albedo greeted Lin Feng and then handed a small toy to Klee from his pocket.

"No problem at all. With Klee being so adorable, who among the Knights wouldn't adore her?" Lin Feng shook his head with a smile and took his leave.

As he watched Lin Feng depart, Albedo thoughtfully pulled out his phone. Such a prodigy appeared quite ordinary on the surface.

"Brother Albedo, Klee wants to go play outside!" Klee looked at Albedo, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"All right!" Albedo smiled, taking Klee's hand as they headed out together. He had recently reinforced the ice lake in the snow-capped mountains, applying various potions to enhance it.

The fish in the lake now possessed remarkably resilient life forces, with some even undergoing mutations. This should allow Klee to have extended fun with her explosions.
