Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

Judging from the current progress of the strategy, it's unclear when Columbia's affection level will reach the maximum, and there's absolutely no idea how to increase affection.

Let's see how things go after we go to Columbia's house tonight, since those so-called special favor items haven't worked yet.

Is it possible that, besides panties, there would be other items that increase affection levels, such as stockings?

Since the system is already this overpowered, the relics might even be able to piece together a set of Columbia's personal clothing, which is a bit too overpowered.

Su Ming was just guessing; the system probably wouldn't actually be that outrageous.

A cold wind blew by; it should still be winter now, but since it's winter all year round anyway, it doesn't really matter what season it is.

An old man stood before the frozen lake, holding a fishing rod in one hand, quietly watching the small hole carved into the lake's surface, through which a fleeting dark shadow could be vaguely seen.

"fishing?"

Su Ming walked over curiously. This place should also be in the suburbs, yet there was such a large frozen lake. He wondered if it would melt in the summer.

The old man, with a full head of white hair, did not move after hearing the footsteps, but continued to stare at the cave entrance.

"Going out to fish in this cold weather?" Su Ming stood beside the old man, looking curiously at the hole in the frozen lake. If it was really possible to fish there, he would give it a try later.

"Do not."

The old man steadily raised the fishing rod and continued, "I've been waiting for you."

"Ok?"

Su Ming was stunned for a second, then quickly realized what was going on, "You're an Executive Officer too?"

No wonder he felt the old man looked familiar; he seemed to have seen him in the PV, the one with the highest pretentious air.

"The First Executive Officer of the Fools, the Commander-in-Chief, [Clown] Piero."

Piero's voice was steady, like the rings of an ancient tree, or the echo of an era; just hearing it seemed to allow one to see a destroyed kingdom.

This title is ridiculously long; no wonder he's the number one executive officer, his prestige is truly extraordinary.

Su Ming immediately gave a non-standard salute. This person was considered his top superior besides the Empress, so he still had to show some respect.

Furthermore, Piero meant to wait for him here, but the question is how he knew he would meet him here?

Could it be that he was a prophet?

Teyvat seems to have astrology as well, and it is said that it can predict good or bad fortune by observing celestial phenomena. However, Su Ming himself did not know that he would come to this frozen lake today, which is beyond the scope of divination, right?

“No need to doubt,” Piero turned to look at Su Ming, his pupils seemingly an endless abyss, capable of pulling one into an endless silence.

"It's just an inevitable part of fate."

Another riddle teller, impressive, very energetic.

Su Ming was speechless. He was saying that even the riddle-maker couldn't understand it. Couldn't they come up with something simple and easy to understand in plain language?

"Are you here to assign a mission?"

Su Ming asked, guessing, otherwise the commander wouldn't have bothered to wait for him in such a remote place.

Piero nodded slightly, indicating both yes and no.

The best course of action at this moment is to follow the path of fate.

“In early spring, you will be dispatched to Mondstadt to make advance preparations for the plan,” Piero handed the fishing rod to Su Ming, his eyes revealing no information. “As the Hermit, you will become the hidden blade of the Fatui.”

"Uh-huh?"

Su Ming was dumbfounded. He was being told to go to Mondstadt ahead of schedule?

If I understand correctly, this means that before Rosalind goes to Mondstadt, he should scout out the location in advance?

Good heavens! Su Ming exclaimed, "Good heavens! There's such a twist!"

He took Piero's fishing rod with a bewildered look on his face, completely unaware of why he would receive a task under these circumstances.

It's winter now, and early spring is still a month or two away at the earliest, which is much earlier than expected.

It seems my plan to continue slacking off and coasting through winter to collect my salary has failed, and I'll have to prepare to head to Mondstadt in the next two months.

Chapter 032 I need to find an opportunity to kidnap Naxida from the Jingshan Palace.

Piero didn't say anything more. His figure gradually blended into the wind and snow, disappearing from Su Ming's sight as if he had never been there.

Su Ming blinked in bewilderment, then raised the fishing rod in his hand. This was the fishing rod of the Commander-in-Chief; if he were to sell it, it would surely fetch hundreds of thousands of Mora.

Su Ming was disappointed to find that a panel would pop up, but it was just a regular fishing rod. He didn't know how to fish.

Unless the fishpond is full of Columbia's white silk, then it might be worth a try.

There's still some time before we actually head to Mondstadt, but it's much tighter than expected. Su Ming estimates that this amount of time won't be enough to raise the favorability of D'Artagnan or Sandorne.

"Never mind, I'll go find Young Master for our daily sparring."

There's no point in thinking so much. It's better to make good use of the time and see how far our current strength has come.

I got my first decent weapon from Columbia's favorability chest. It wouldn't be enough to beat up the young master, but at least it wouldn't leave him helpless.

Anyway, this is better than the salted fish sword, which is only good for making a fool of yourself!

After leaving the frozen lake, Su Ming headed to the training ground and, unsurprisingly, saw the young master sweating profusely while holding an iron bow.

"Hey, buddy."

Upon seeing Su Ming, the young master put down his iron bow and greeted him with a smile, clearly not taking the previous incident to heart.

It seems that Donya couldn't bear to let her own brother continue to taste the terrible food, otherwise she would be going to the toilet to find him right now.

“You’re in good shape,” Su Ming said with a smile as he walked up to the scarecrow and took out a cool silver knight’s longsword from his backpack. The hilt was engraved with intricate patterns, giving it a unique aesthetic appeal; the blade was slender and reflected the color of the sky like a mirror.

Young Master: "?"

This kid's weapon was a salted fish sword the day before yesterday, how come he's upgraded to a cannon today?

Su Ming had no intention of showing off. After casually demonstrating a few rounds in front of the young master, he got back to the point: "Let's have a friendly spar. If you win, I'll cook for you for free, how about it?"

The young master's lips twitched slightly. In a sense, this was indeed a "reward," but it was a bit too much, and a normal person would find it hard to bear.

"elder brother!"

A slightly childish voice suddenly rang out, and Su Ming noticed that the young master's body stiffened for a moment. A little boy had appeared at the entrance of the training ground at some point.

"Tok, what are you doing here?" The young master hurriedly threw down the bow in his hand, walked over with a smile, and blocked the view of the training ground. "Brother is looking for inspiration for toys. He will sell them to other countries in a while."

“My sister hasn’t come home yet. I’m worried she’s gone to buy those strange ingredients again…” Tok was showing a strong survival instinct. Although the young master had been the one testing the poisons these past few days, the taste alone was enough to give Tok nightmares.

Su Ming's smile froze slightly upon hearing this. He had a vague feeling that he had personally destroyed the peaceful daily life of the young master's family, and if he had to admit it, he did feel a little guilty.

“Tok, don’t worry,” Su Ming squatted down in front of Tok, revealing a sunny and cheerful smile, “I’ll have your brother cook you something delicious tonight.”

Tok blinked, searched his mind for the image, and finally came to the conclusion, "Who?"

"Sorry, partner, it seems we have to end this today. We'll continue our sparring tomorrow," the young master shrugged and rubbed Tok's head.

"I have an ancient technique passed down through generations in Liyue. Just soak it in boiling water for ten minutes to enjoy the ultimate taste experience. With just a short wait, you can savor the perfect flavor."

Su Ming revealed a smile reminiscent of a pyramid scheme operator, and pulled out a remaining packet of instant noodles from his backpack.

Young Master: "?"

Where did this guy pull that out from? He does it as skillfully as he pulls out toys.

"Really?!" Tok took the instant noodles in surprise. "Thank you, big brother!"

"You're welcome."

Su Ming said with a smile, then winked at the young master.

The young master understood and led Tok away from the training ground, not forgetting to give Su Ming a thumbs up before leaving.

It has to be Su Ming's good brother. He'll have to send a set of limited edition One-Eyed Little Treasure dolls as a gift. As expected of the Hermit, he's always reliable.

[Datalia's affection level has been unlocked to level 2]

[Obtain Level 2 Affection Chest]

Wow, this is an unexpected surprise. It seems that increasing favorability doesn't require sparring every day.

The young master has always valued his family highly, and taking good care of Donya and Tok will effectively increase his favorability.

Su Ming casually opened the favorability treasure chest, which burst out with an exciting blue light.

send.

Item Name: Limited Edition Forgiveness Green Relic Giant Soldier, Best-Selling Toy Merchant of Winter Kingdom

Category: Relic [Feather of Death]

Quality: blue

Passive Skill [Want to play a game together?]: Extremely easy to play with children.

Note: Who can resist a thrilling game of hide-and-seek?

You have activated the [Toy Merchant] two-piece set effect:

Childhood Dream: Anyone under 1.5 meters tall is considered a child (can be turned on or off).

At first glance, isn't this just another trash artifact for creating a meme? If this were in the game, it would have been used as fodder for other players long ago.

At second glance, wow... anyone under 1.5 meters tall is considered a child. If I remember correctly, One-Eyed Treasure's passive skill was that he could easily gain the trust of children. In other words, Naxida is now considered a child as well?

Oh no... does that mean all loli-type characters are considered children?!

Holy crap, that's incredible skill!

Su Ming sincerely apologized for his previous rudeness. It seems that the artifact set is at least four pieces. This means that if he continues to increase the young master's affection, he will have a chance to obtain the remaining Toy Merchant artifacts.

If the two-piece set effect is already this amazing, then wouldn't the four-piece set be invincible?

"No, we have to find a chance to go to Jingshan Palace to kidnap Naxida," Su Ming paced back and forth, thinking about how to get to Xumi now. Then he could put Naxida in the wonderful ice cream, wouldn't that be wonderful?

This is simply a divine skill of causality! There are still many female characters under 1.5 meters tall, such as Cleopatra, Yoshino, and Nana, all of whom are very difficult to punish!

"By the way, is Sandone even 1.5 meters tall?"

Su Ming knew this was presumptuous, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Sandone was the only loli he had seen in Winterhold so far, so he might as well give it a try when he had some free time.

Miss Puppet is really a very useful guinea pig. Now, whenever Su Ming gets a new skill, he goes to Sandoni to test its effects.
