I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"That's right! I am Wendy, a servant of the Wind God! You can ask me any questions you have!"

Wendy has now adapted to this role, so her expression was full of pride when she said this.

"Then do you have a way to save Dvalin?"

Although they met Diluc on the way here, Diluc wasn't one to explain things, so he didn't say much. He just wanted to bring the person here first and wait for Li Xiao and the others to explain again.

Paimon, that big mouth, didn't disappoint Diluc, and repeated himself verbatim.

"So it is, so it is. Do you understand, Master Qin?"

"Okay, I understand. So the first step is to get the Sky Harp, right?"

"That's right! When the time comes, we'll find a windy, open area, and I, the greatest poet in the world, will pluck the strings of my harp. Once I hear this familiar melody, Dvalin will surely appear!"

"Hmm... If I vouch for it, borrowing the Sky Harp shouldn't be a problem. But if we do that, will the Abyss Order make any moves? After all, Li Xiao said before that they wanted to turn Dvalin into a weapon, right? I wonder if our combat strength is enough to fight both Dvalin and the Abyss Order at the same time."

Hearing Captain Jean's slightly worried words, Li Xiao comforted her, "Don't worry, Captain Jean, the Abyss Order won't mobilize too many forces in this matter. At most, they will only mobilize the monsters around Mondstadt to attack the city. As long as the Knights hold their ground, everything will be fine once we resolve the Dvalin issue."

"Thank you for your comfort, but please rest assured, I am not a weak person, and I believe that Mondstadt will not disappoint Lord Barbatos!"

Li Xiao thought to himself, "Wendy certainly won't be disappointed in you, the chosen worker, but it's hard to say whether he'll be disappointed in the current Knights of Mondstadt."

He had always thought that the lazy Knights of Favonius in the game were just isolated cases, but he never expected that this was the norm after he transmigrated! He found it very absurd and wondered if it was because Grand Master Falgar had taken all the elites with him.

Kaeya volunteered, "Then I'll stay in Mondstadt to defend the city."

"I'm staying too! Saving Dvalin is important, but everyone in Mondstadt is equally important!"

Amber, the little angel, also chose to stay.

Lisa also spoke up: "I'll stay too, otherwise running around everywhere will be very tiring."

"When do we set off?"

Paimon was kicking his legs in the void, looking like he couldn't wait any longer.

Qin said somewhat apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I have to deal with some matters in Mondstadt today and communicate with the Church of Favonius to borrow the Sky Harp from them, so I can't set off until tomorrow at the earliest. I wonder what everyone thinks."

Everyone understood, and some people needed to make preparations, so they dispersed to attend to their own matters. In the end, only Li Xiao, Ying, Diluc, and a little Paimon remained. Even Wendy had slipped away.

"Well then, Ying, you should rest well today. You'll be a key player tomorrow."

Ying nodded, her face full of fighting spirit: "Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Seeing how much Ying was looking forward to tomorrow's heroic moment, Li Xiao felt at ease and left. He had lunch at the Deer Hunter Restaurant and then returned to the hotel to spend his time in bed.

Why did this morning feel so long and busy? I accomplished several important things, but in the end, I didn't even have time for breakfast.

[The system is very pleased with the host's diligence.]

"Tongzi, why are you speaking like an old woman?"

[If the host doesn't like it, I can also change the personality template. Currently, the options are tsundere, sadistic queen, obsessive woman, and yandere.]

"Um, the original version is better."

He felt a little ashamed.

[Given how eye-opening the story you told me before, I went to a hentai world, beat up the local natives, and brought you back a reward. How about it, want it?]

"Hiss~ The world of hentai?!"

Li Xiao instantly became excited. Could it be that starting today, I, Li Xiao, can activate the legendary world modulation mode and become a superman, able to surpass whomever I want?

Unfortunately, it's just the ability to somewhat control other people's emotions.

"Huh? Controlling emotions, and only slightly?"

[Host, don't underestimate this ability. As long as other girls develop feelings for you, even if it's just a little, you can use this ability to gradually amplify them.]

"Doesn't this make it even lower? I have to figure it out myself; I can't just start with a live party right away. What kind of trashy anime world did you find this ability from?"

[Well, the main reason is that I saw the person who possessed this ability was about to harm a little girl, and I got angry and hit them too hard, so I accidentally shattered the ability into pieces. After I restored the ability, it ended up like this.]

"Oh well! Never mind then, Boss, bring me my reward."

Okay, but I have to warn you, don't do what the previous owner of this ability did and target little girls.

"What are you saying, Tongzi? This is prejudice against me."

No, I was just reminding you.

"How could I possibly love only lolis like him! That's too low a purity level! Loli, young girl, mature woman, married woman, no matter if she's poor or rich, no matter if she has big or small breasts, no matter if she's older or younger, as long as she fits my aesthetic, I want them all!"

"...You're shameless! Are you going to prey on minors too? No way! We'll all condemn that!"

"Huh? System, what are you talking about? How could I possibly lay a hand on a minor?"

What did you just do?

"A loli isn't necessarily a minor! What are you thinking? Is it wrong for someone to look like a loli? Are you going to blame the girl for this?"

Li Xiao retorted with a puzzled look.

[Phew~ That's good. My host does have some principles after all.]

"Besides, I can just wait a few years for her since she's a minor, why risk harming public opinion by doing something like this?"

[Uh, I take back what I said earlier.]

"Then let me see this ability."

Main text: Chapter Twelve - Gensokyo

[Emotional Micro-Manipulation—An ability from an unknown hentai world, capable of slowly amplifying specific emotions within oneself. However, if the target does not possess that emotion, this ability is ineffective against them. It cannot be used multiple times on the same target within a short period, otherwise it can easily cause emotional distortion in the target.]

Li Xiao was a little dissatisfied: "Why are there side effects?"

Please understand, host, that human emotions have a threshold. Gradually increasing them will not harm a person's mental health, and positive emotions may even have certain benefits.

However, excessive increases at once, exceeding a certain threshold, can cause mental damage to those with weak willpower, even completely distorting their character. Otherwise, why do you think some characters in hentai manga fall into depravity so quickly?

"I see... that's fine too. With this ability, building a harem and even throwing parties won't be a dream."

[Um, host, can't you have some ideals?]

"for example?"

Let's set a small goal first: how about becoming the strongest in Teyvat?

"Isn't it all for the sake of having a party?"

So, after you become the strongest, all you'll do is throw parties?

"What else? Now that we've become the strongest, what else would we do but party every day?"

"Fine, whatever."

Also, just a heads up, someone in the chat group is calling you.

"Hmm?" Li Xiao opened the chat group with some confusion. As soon as he entered, he saw that Yakumo Yukari had tagged him.

Li Xiao: "What is it?"

Yukari Yakumo: "What do you think? Last time you only talked about Bronya, and I thought you would take the opportunity to talk about us too, but you just disappeared!"

Li Xiao: "Nothing serious is happening to you in Gensokyo."

Yukari Yakumo: "So you told us last time that Gensokyo was going to be destroyed?!"

Li Xiao: "That's right, Gensokyo is going to be destroyed in a few hundred years."

Yukari Yakumo was a little depressed. She had been feeling uneasy, thinking that something big was going to happen in Gensokyo recently, but it turned out to be something she already knew.

Li Xiao: "Is everything alright? If it's alright, I'm leaving."

He glanced at the group and saw that Nagasaki Motoyo and Bronya weren't online either. The group was still too quiet with too few members.

Yukari Yakumo: "Wait!"

Li Xiao: "Is there anything else?"

Yukari Yakumo: "Do you have a way to solve the problem in Gensokyo?"

Li Xiao: "Let's start with some good photos."

Yakumo Yukari: “?”

Is she asking me to sell my body? I was about to grit my teeth and agree, and take a few more photos for him, but then I thought again, she didn't say she wanted my photos.

With a casual wave of her hand, she opened a gap leading to Eientei. Before Yagokoro Eirin on the other side could react, she quickly took a picture using the chat group and sent it privately to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao stared into thought at the photo of a white-haired woman pounding medicine that Yakumo Yukari had sent him via private message.

Li Xiao: "Isn't this Yagokoro Eirin? How come it's not yours?"

Yukari Yakumo: "You didn't say you absolutely needed our photos, did you?"

Li Xiao: "Trying to be clever, huh? Well then, I'll raise the price. Now I not only want your photos, but also Reimu, Yakumo Ran, Koji Meikaku, Izayoi Sakuya, Patchouli, Kazami Yuuka..."

He named more than forty people in a row.

Yukari Yakumo's face twitched as she watched him rattle off the names of people like they were from a menu. Even she found some of these people troublesome; if she were found out she'd taken pictures of them and sent them to a man, she'd definitely be ganged up on!

Yukari Yakumo: "I'm sorry! Could you go a little less? I'll die if you keep doing this!?"

She posted a crying emoji, followed by a photo of her feet wearing white ankle socks.

Li Xiao had already gotten her XP from that naive little girl, Nagasaki Motoyo.

Without waiting for Li Xiao's reply, she took off her white socks and sent them via red envelope.

Li Xiao glanced at the white ankle socks Yakumo Yukari had sent him, then at the food in the private chat picture. Without a word, he stored the fragrant socks in his system space before continuing his chat with Yakumo Yukari.
