Lin Feng requested from the System for the Emergency Response Team's backend management phone and handed it to Jean, teaching her how to operate it.

Overwhelmed by the complex interface, Jean rubbed her head before turning to Lin Feng. "Would you be interested in joining the Knights of Favonius? I can appoint you as the Cyber Knight Captain."

She believed that specialized tasks should be handled by experts in their respective fields.

"I'm definitely in!" Lin Feng eagerly agreed, recognizing the benefits of being associated with the prestigious Knights of Favonius. Now he could also claim membership within an esteemed organization.

And just like that, Lin Feng became the Captain of the Cyber Knight Squad, albeit without any team members yet. However, Jean instructed him to create his own selection criteria and allowed him to choose ten individuals for his squad.

Whistling cheerfully, Lin Feng headed towards the snow-capped mountains, now officially a proud knight himself.

Upon returning home - which he had already started considering as his own - he found Eula busy cooking. The enticing aroma filled the air, making his senses delight.

"Hehe, Eula, I have some great news to share with you!" Lin Feng entered the kitchen, grinning mischievously.

Eula, fully focused on stir-frying, paid no attention to Lin Feng.

"Hey, at least give me a reaction! Don't you want to know what it is?" Lin Feng persisted, trying to engage Eula's curiosity.

"Not interested," Eula replied mildly as she tasted her cooking.

"Then I might just delete Minecraft from my phone. Ahh, after playing it for so long, it's hard to let go!" Lin Feng glanced at Eula and continued nonchalantly.

"You wouldn't dare!" Eula swiftly turned around, glaring fiercely at Lin Feng.

"Well then, take a guess what the good news is." Lin Feng smiled slightly.

Eula, with no other choice, ventured a guess, "Did you finally succeed in communicating with Hilichurls?"

Lin Feng's lips twitched, "Can we please not bring up that dark past? Are you still willing to be friends now?!"

Eula lifted her chin slightly, feeling triumphant - how dare he threaten her after such a successful revenge!

"Try guessing again!" Lin Feng grinned once more.

Suddenly, Eula's nose wrinkled, sensing something burning.

"LIN FENG!!!" She roared angrily, shooting him a furious look.

The Sweet Madame chicken in the pot had burned, sticking firmly to the bottom.

Sitting at the dining table, they both stared at the ruined dish, exchanging incredulous glances.

Lin Feng and Eula exchanged glances, and like a child caught doing something wrong, he instantly lowered his head, remaining silent.

"Eeeh..." Eula's stomach grumbled in protest; she hadn't eaten lunch yet.

Lin Feng quickly looked up at Eula, causing her cheeks to flush slightly. In the etiquette of the Lawrence Clan, this was considered highly inappropriate.

"How about I cook instead?" Lin Feng cautiously suggested.

"You can prepare the ingredients, but who would dare eat anything you cook!" Eula composed herself before responding calmly.

"Sure thing!" Lin Feng immediately stood up, relieved that she wasn't angry.

Finally, after some more effort, two plates of Sweet Madame were ready.

Despite being extremely hungry, Eula maintained her elegant demeanor, taking small bites and savoring each mouthful slowly.

"Let me tell you, I've become Favonius Knight now. From here on, we're colleagues, hehe!" Lin Feng grinned mischievously while looking at Eula.

"Hmm?" Eula paused, casting an incredulous gaze at Lin Feng. The selection process for the Knights was notoriously rigorous, and moreover, Lin Feng didn't even have a Vision - how could he possibly join?

Moreover, it wasn't even recruitment time for the Knights. How could they accept such misfits and rejects?

Despite her friendly attitude towards Lin Feng, she didn't believe he possessed the necessary skills to join the Knights. If he couldn't handle a few small Hilichurls without needing rescue, how could he protect others as a knight?

"Are you joking with me?" Eula asked, her expression serious.

"Nope, Captain Jean personally appointed me, and I'm even the captain of my own squad," Lin Feng continued, further provoking Eula.

Eula nearly lost her composure; she had almost severed ties with the Lawrence Clan just to join the Knights. Even then, it was only possible due to Jean's assistance.

Giving Lin Feng a cold glare, Eula contemplated whether to end this self-proclaimed "King of Flexing" with a single strike.

"What kind of knight are you? And which squad's captain?" Eula questioned skeptically.

"The newly formed Net Knights, specifically tasked with managing cell phones," Lin Feng proudly revealed at last.

Eula remained speechless.

"I'm the captain of the Cyber Knights! Can't you show me some respect?!" Lin Feng glared at Eula, slightly annoyed.

"Oh, how impressive!" Eula responded dryly, which to Lin Feng sounded like blatant mockery.

Lin Feng silently vowed to elevate the Cyber Knights' reputation and mercilessly crush the Guerilla Knights.

"Eula, why don't we stream your daily work routine? It could help dispel the misunderstandings among Mondstadt's citizens," Lin Feng suddenly suggested to Eula.

"Hmph, I am the descendant of Mondstadt's Sinner. Their opinions mean nothing to me; my vengeance will be had regardless!" Eula lifted her chin proudly, asserting herself.

"But, I haven't seen any signs of your revenge yet. And by the way, I still need to retract my negative review for Good Hunter!" Lin Feng looked straight at Eula, unmercifully exposing her facade.

"It's just...just that the timing isn't right yet!" Eula's response lacked confidence, but she stubbornly defended herself with pride.

"I don't care. Regardless, I plan to film a live stream featuring the Guerilla Captain, and you'll have to cooperate!" Lin Feng smiled as he gazed at Eula.

"Alright... fine, I'll give you a chance to journey with a Sinner. But don't let your guard down; my revenge can strike at any moment!" Eula hesitated briefly before agreeing, quickly masking her smile.

"Great! Get ready, I'm going to showcase your best side to everyone!" Lin Feng said, grinning.

"I...I am just assisting you with your work, not trying to change Mondstadters' opinions. Remember, I still intend to seek vengeance against Mondstadt." Eula sounded slightly unsure, as deep down, she yearned for understanding and acceptance. This was why, despite being the eldest daughter of the Lawrence Clan, she had resolutely joined the Knights without hesitation.

However, the people of Mondstadt viewed her as a sinner, and even the Lawrence Clan considered her a traitor. The icy facade and talk of revenge were merely shells she used to protect herself.

"Yes, yes, I understand!" Lin Feng laughed heartily, giving off an air of knowing exactly what she meant.

Eula's cheeks flushed red at Lin Feng's words, "This slight, I will remember!"

With that, Eula retreated back to her room.

Watching the live stream on her phone, Amber felt an irresistible urge to join in. As Mondstadt's flying champion, she couldn't help but feel it would be a disservice not to share her own aerial view.

So, she started her own live stream with a fitting title:

"Mondstadt's Flying Champion and Outrider - Amber, Live Streaming a Bird's Eye View of Mondstadt."
