[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

Chao Ke smiled and followed Farusan across the stone bridge into the moat of Mondstadt.

There weren't many pigeons on the stone bridge, probably because the boy named "Timmy" hadn't started feeding them there yet.

Speaking of which, Timmy, as the largest poultry supplier in all of Mondstadt, contributed a lot during the travelers' pioneering period.

When I meet this kid again... well, I'll have to give him a crispy ham burger or a sweet stuffed chicken to try.

At the gates of Mondstadt, since they weren't carrying much luggage or goods, the knights on duty simply glanced at Chao Ke and his companion a few times before readily letting them pass.

Since this mission requires direct contact with the Fools' Enforcer [Lady], Chao Ke does not intend to bring Farusan along.

Instead, after entering the city, he first settled Farusan in a restaurant in Mondstadt, then took the items for this mission and said goodbye.

Seeing that the box made of alchemical materials in his hand was completely undamaged, Chao Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

"The quality is not bad."

Carrying the box, Chao Ke walked to the Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt.

Looking at this small corner of the place, Chao Ke was quite emotional, as he had worked here a lot in his previous life.

"Catherine, how's the weather today? I'd like to visit the Tower of Mondstadt."

Catherine paused for a moment after seeing Chao Ke, then answered.

"The weather has recently cleared up after the rain, but it's still unpredictable. If you'd like to visit the tower, you can check out the campsite."

Chao Ke nodded to indicate that he understood.

What Catherine meant was that the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt had recently relaxed their surveillance of the Fatui, but they still couldn't be too high-profile. As for meeting the Executor [Lady], they could visit the Fatui's stronghold in Mondstadt, the Gothic Grand Hotel.

Leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Chao Ke walked along the road towards the Goethe Hotel.

This hotel has a long history in Mondstadt. From the Morning Breeze Inn to the Goethe Grand Hotel, the Goethe family has been involved in the hotel and business catering business.

Although the Goethe family's history cannot compare with that of the "Plain Yellow Banner" like the Gunnhilds, it is still a legacy passed down and upheld by generations.

However, Ludwig, the current head of the Goethe family, made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.

They violated the ancestral principle of serving Mondstadt by leasing the Gothic Grand Hotel to the Fools indefinitely.

The reason is simple: Pantalone personally negotiated this deal, and this wealthy gentleman wasn't just rich, he offered an exceptionally large sum...

As they approached the vicinity of the Goethe Hotel, the guards of the Fools set their sights on Chao Ke.

Seeing Chao Ke walking straight toward the Goethe Hotel, the guards of the Fools quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Halt! The Goethe Hotel has been booked by the Fools' delegation! No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!"

"Oh? What if I'm not an innocent bystander?"

As he spoke, Chao Ke took out a medal from his pocket and showed it to the guard.

"Ah?! This medal... You're the adjutant of that executive officer, sir, please come in!"

The guards outside the hotel only glanced at him before quickly clearing a path for Chao Ke.

"Ah."

Chao Ke nodded and stepped into the Goethe Hotel, only to suddenly turn around and glance behind him.

"They've already been targeted... The Knights' reaction was quick."

Inside the Goethe Hotel, a sharp-eyed old woman sat at the front desk, scanning the people coming and going with her piercing gaze.

There were several blackboards hanging on the front desk. Looking at Chao Ke, he found that there were quite a few funny pictures on them.

[Rules: The first floor of the hotel is for male dormitories, and the second floor is for female dormitories. Switching dormitories without permission is prohibited, as is entering the opposite sex's floor at night.]

[Rules: Men are prohibited from sleeping in the same bed as women; violators will be recorded as disciplinary violations.]

[Rules: Firefly sorcerers, especially lightning firefly sorcerers, must keep their fireflies in a cleanroom. Bringing them into the bedroom is strictly prohibited. Those who cause a high mortality rate of fireflies due to static electricity attracting dust or other factors will have their salaries deducted proportionally.]

[Rule: Non-kitchen staff are prohibited from entering the kitchen]

【rule:.......】

Besides these rules, there are many other notices, one of which seems particularly eye-catching.

[Announcement: Lightning Mage Cathy Schneizefna was seen loitering on the first floor of the hotel last Wednesday night.]

[Announcement: Lightning Sorcerer Cathy Schneizevna forcibly slept with another Lightning Sorcerer in her bedroom on the second floor of the hotel last Thursday night.]

[Report: The lightning sorceress Cathy Schneizevna broke into the kitchen last Friday afternoon and switched the mist pollen with pepper, causing two debt collectors to become disoriented after accidentally ingesting it that evening, which led to a fight.]

[Announcement: Lightning Sorcerer Cathy Schneizefna broke into the Executor's room last Saturday afternoon and stole Lady Rosalind's intimate underwear. She was caught red-handed.]

[Announcement: Lightning Mage Cathy Schneizefna was removed from the Mondstadt party on Sunday morning and sent back to her original territory, Yaoguang Beach, to carry out independent missions. All colleagues should take this as a warning!]

"Sir, please present your medals and state the purpose of your visit."

At the front desk, the old woman tapped on the wooden board, signaling Chao Ke to come back to his senses.

Chao Ke looked down from the blackboard, handed his Fool's Medal to the old woman, and asked a question.

"Has this lightning fire mage named Cathy Schneizevna always been this abstract?"

The old woman confirmed the officer's identity by looking at the medal, but the question Chao Ke asked reminded her of that rather troublesome figure.

"You mean her? She used to carry out missions independently in Yaoguangtan. The organization, considering her long period of service alone in such a harsh place, specially transferred her to Mondstadt. But it seems that it's because she hasn't interacted with anyone for too long..."

"So you've developed some psychological issues?"

The old woman nodded slowly. "That's right, Cathy Schneitzvna. She only reported to the Goethe Hotel last Wednesday at noon... As for what happened after that, you've probably already seen it on the blackboard..."

Chao Ke's lips twitched; he was amazed by the girl's ability to cause trouble.

Silently sighing, "Awesome!"

"But given the state of this girl, shouldn't she be discharged from the military? Why was she sent back to her original location to continue serving?"

The old woman took a sip of water and replied.

"We have spoken with her about this. If she serves a few more months, her discharge pay will be much higher."

"understood."

Chapter 69 Big Sisters

Top floor of the Goethe Hotel.

Only after the old woman informed him was Chao Ke able to enter the Flame Witch's boudoir to meet her.

"Lady Rosalyn, I have brought you what you requested."

As Chao Ke spoke, he placed the quest items on the table, but his eyes kept wandering around.

There's no way around it, the lady's snow-capped mountains are truly eye-catching.

Fortunately, the Flame Witch didn't notice, or rather, even if she did notice Chao Ke's gaze, she didn't care.

Rosalyn looked Chao Ke up and down and said.

"I had long heard that Arecino had a younger brother who was outstanding in both ability and appearance, which greatly helped Arecino to become an executive officer."

"Today, I finally met the real person."

"It does look quite nice, but the time you delivered it was much later than I expected."

Hearing the woman's slightly teasing words, Chao Ke stood awkwardly to the side, chuckling twice to ease the embarrassment.

There was nothing I could do; I genuinely felt guilty.

Chao Ke knew perfectly well where he had focused his energy along the way.

There's no way the speed will be faster if you do it this way.

Rosalind enjoyed the awkwardness on Chao Ke's face, as if she found it immensely amusing.

However, she was also sensible. After taking a small sip of tea, she spoke.

"Don't be so formal. I have a pretty good relationship with Arecino in private, and I don't mean to make things difficult for you."

As she spoke, Rosalyn looked out the window at the free city-state, a hint of nostalgia rising in her eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

"Since we're already in Mondstadt, why not stay a few days and enjoy the freedom and poetry here?"

"Understood, Madam."

After confirming that the box was sealed properly, Rosalyn wrote a coded message and handed it to Chao Ke to show that she had received the mission item.

Clutching the note, Chao Ke was about to leave when he heard a kind reminder from behind.

"Remember to wear more clothes when you go out, so you don't catch a cold from the recent cold snap."

Chao Ke paused, and instantly understood what Rosalyn meant.

"Understood, thank you for reminding me."

After Chao Ke left, Rosalyn gazed at the scenery outside the window.

Beside the fountain not far away, a young girl was chanting something, while a knight in armor was gazing tenderly at her from the side.

"A nice view, if only the wind weren't so strong today..."

........

After leaving the Goethe Hotel.

Chao Ke retraced his steps and went to the restaurant where he had arrived, looking for Farusian.

After scanning the area, Chao Ke quickly found the light blue hair.

To Chao Ke's surprise, there was a purple figure sitting opposite Farusan.

From the looks of it, the two chatted happily.

"What's going on today? I seem to have a special connection with this older sister..."

The purple figure was Lisa Mintz, the librarian of the Knights of Favonius.

As Chao Ke approached the two women, he overheard their conversation.

After eavesdropping for a few minutes, Chao Ke moved a little further away.

Listening to these professional academic discussions a lot will sharpen your mind.
