It must be miHoYo's doing.

"Um, Si Ke Ke, how many days have you not eaten?" Tianming was a little amused.

Silkcock raised his head with noodles in his mouth and said expressionlessly, "Uh-huh, a... uh-huh... month."

"Gudong~"

Shan Siji swallowed the noodles in his mouth.

"I haven't eaten since I was infected by the black energy in the abyss a month ago."

"A month ago?"

Tianming frowned.

A month ago was exactly the time when he traveled through time.

Could it be that since that time, the black energy of the evil alien creature has begun to infect Teyvat?

"Okay, then eat slowly."

"Oh, by the way, Si Ke Ke, have you thought about how to earn raw stones in the future? After you have raw stones, what swordsmanship do you want?

I can even pray for a sword more powerful than the one you broke earlier."

Sicock stuffed the last piece of toast on the table into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and thought for a moment with an expressionless face. He said, "I haven't thought about it, but I seriously suspect this is another scam of yours, Senior. Senior, please teach me swordsmanship directly. As a reward, I will do anything you ask me to do."

"Anything...you're willing to do?"

Tianming subconsciously glanced at the other party's Honkai Impact 3rd combat suit wrapped in...

"Ahhh! Master! You still have me, Meita! Don't think of weird things!"

Meita suddenly jumped in front of Tianming, interrupting his thoughts.

"Ahem..." Pulling Meita's pretty face aside, Tianming said seriously, "It's definitely not possible to teach you directly. That's the rule. But believe me, the Oufei Law exists. If you couldn't get anything good from your wishes before, it only means that your luck was saved for later. So, I still hope you can find a way to earn rough stones."

"However, seeing how serious you are, it seems difficult for you to post videos or live stream..."

Suddenly, Tianming thought of a function in the terminal.

"Oh right! There's a Didi-style beating feature in the terminal. You might want to try it. You're probably the strongest in our association right now. Other members can pay you gems to hire you to fight. As for the hiring fee, I think you can set it low at first. There are fewer members in Teyvat right now, and fewer gems."

Si Ke Ke watched Tian Ming talking, blinked, nodded, and didn't know whether he understood or not.

"Forget it, it seems you didn't understand. Let me help you promote it. It just so happens that I've already tried a function in the member terminal."

Tianming opened his terminal background and clicked on the option of one of the miHoYo chat groups.

Entering the interface, it was empty.

So far, no member has noticed this function, or even if they have noticed it, they don’t understand what a chat group means.

Tianming curled his lips and directly created a chat group named "miHoYo Family".

Then, invite people to join the group.

"Klee, Jean, Kaeya, Diluc, and Silkcox—there's only five of us in total. Let's add them all in. And set it so that all members who join later will be added to this group by default."

………………

Mondstadt, the Knights Templar, the Captain's Office.

Qin, who hadn't slept all night and had been sorting out yesterday's battle casualties and various information summaries, was just about to lie down on the desk to take a nap.

The next moment, a prompt sounded in my mind.

Acting Guild President Tianming invites you to join the group chat: "MiHoYo Family"

The terminal bracelet on the wrist automatically appeared, and a light screen appeared in front of Qin's eyes, with a line of words appearing in the center of the light screen.

【Welcome to the group, please confirm your nickname】

Qin was a little confused and filled in her name without thinking - Qin.

After entering the group chat, I saw a round frame with Tianming's avatar sending a message.

Acting President: @All Members From now on, this will be the general group for all members. Everyone can speak freely. Of course, you can also create your own group privately.

[Dudu is the cutest: @Acting President, do you know who I am? Hehe.]

[Acting President: Let me think about it. Hmm, you should be Klee.]

Dudu is the cutest: Wow! Tianming is so great! He guessed it right away!

[The most handsome man in the Knights: @嘟嘟可最可爱, Klee, I'm Kaeya-geki. I'm going to be live streaming at the Knights' training ground later. Can Klee come and support me?]

Dudu is the cutest: Of course. Klee doesn't know why people in the other world like her so much, but as long as she can help, she will definitely help.

[Dawn Watcher: @嘟嘟可最可爱, um, I'm Diluk from the Dawn Winery. If possible, could you come to the Dawn Winery this afternoon and help me out? I've asked the butler to prepare candies of various flavors.]

Dudu is the cutest: Hey! Is that that weird older brother? Turns out that weird older brother is also a good person! Klee will help!

Volume 1: The Birth of miHoYo: 025: Placing the "Holy Grail" in the Body

On the desk in the office of the Knights' Leader, Jean looked at the nicknames of Klee and the other two who were chatting animatedly, then looked at her own nickname, blushed, and quickly changed it to "Dandelion Knight".

Meanwhile, Tianming was sitting in Chen Gehu's living room, his fingers swiping rapidly across the terminal screen. Seeing that several members had gradually become familiar with the functions of the chat group, he edited a new message.

Acting Guild President: @All Members! The Didi Hitman feature is now available! You can pay any amount of Gems to hire a Hitman to complete your mission. Whether it's clearing out the Hilichurls, avenging a grudge, or conquering a powerful enemy, this feature can fulfill your needs. Currently, there are only two Hitmans: me and Silkock. My starting price is 1000 Fantasy Points, and I won't take jobs under that. As for Silkock, while her price may be low, don't underestimate her. She's the strongest member, even surpassing the power of a Demon God!

After sending the message, Tianming looked up at Silkock, who was sitting beside him. She was fiddling with her phone, looking dazed, seemingly unresponsive to the lively atmosphere in the group chat.

"It's your turn to promote yourself," Tianming reminded with a smile, "Seize the opportunity. For example, you can take on missions to eliminate 10,000 black-energy-enhanced hillbillies. You can set the price yourself."

Si Ke Ke tilted his head expressionlessly, his eyes still empty, as if he didn't understand Tian Ming's words.

Tianming sighed helplessly. Sometimes, he really suspected that the black energy of the alien evil was not causing Si Keke's amnesia, but rather making her stupid. She was clearly a majestic character in the plot, so why did she always look so dumbfounded in front of him?

Not long after, a new message popped up in the group.

[Silkock: 10 Stones, 10,000 Black Qi Enhanced Hilichurls, completed within one hour. Anyone want to hire one?]

"10 ore stones for 10,000 black energy-enhanced Hilichurls!" In the Knights' office, Jean couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This price is ridiculously cheap.

Qin quickly checked her Gemstone balance. She hadn't done anything special besides the impromptu livestream yesterday, but her Gemstone balance had increased by 30 overnight, bringing the total to 70.

Ten ore gems were only enough for one wish, and the result was often a pile of white-quality garbage. In contrast, ten thousand black-energy-enhanced Hilichurls were only worth ten ore gems, practically giving them away for free.

You know, yesterday, even with Klee and the entire Knights' all-out effort, it took nearly two hours to eliminate the same number of Hilichurls. However, thinking of Silkcock's power, which surpassed even that of a demon god, Jean felt relieved.

She immediately typed a reply with her mind.

[Dandelion Knight: @Silkcock, I'm the acting leader of the Mondstadt Knights. How can I hire you?]

On the other side, Silkcock blinked and turned to look at Tianming, seemingly having no idea how to take the order.

Tianming smiled helplessly and quickly explained in the group.

[Acting President: Select the thug Si Ke Ke in the Didi beating function. After both parties agree and the task is completed, the transfer can be completed.]

In fact, this Didi-like hitting function is like the Teyvat version of the Adventurer's Association, except that in the Adventurer's Association, no matter how much Mora you spend, you can't hire a strong man whose strength surpasses that of a demon god.

In the Chen Ge Hu space, Si Ke Ke accepted the task in the "Didi Hit People" function, then stood up and walked towards the door of the villa.

Halfway through the walk, she suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Senior, how do you get out of this house?"

Tianming couldn't help laughing, and lightly tapped his finger, and a ray of light sank into the terminal on Sicock's wrist.

"That was the secret key to space. As long as you think about teleporting, you can return or leave instantly."

"Yeah." Silkcock nodded, his tone still calm, "Well, I'll go to work then."

"Okay, remember to come back for dinner." Tianming smiled and waved.

Silkcock nodded again, turned around and disappeared into the living room.

Meita, who had witnessed the entire interaction between Tianming and Si Ke Ke, was so upset that she felt like her teeth were about to break. Seeing Si Ke Ke finally leave, she immediately came over, hugged Tianming's shoulders, and said coquettishly, "Master, can you..."

"Holy Grail!" Tianming refused decisively.

"Ah~~ Why is this happening!" Meita pouted, looking aggrieved. "It took a lot of effort to make Meita, and the feel is super good!"

"By the way, how about putting the Meta inside your body next time? That way the master will feel it."

“Hiss~~~~” Tianming touched his chin and showed a meaningful smile, “Don’t say it, you really shouldn’t say it!”

…………

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, thanks to Klee's help, the live broadcasts of Jean, Kaeya, and Diluk have made great progress and gained a lot of attention.

Qin's livestreams may seem mundane—she usually broadcasts them while working. However, these seemingly boring broadcasts unexpectedly attracted a large number of otaku viewers, with comments filled with jokes about "office romance."

Kaiya livestreams his sword practice sessions daily at the training ground, teaching the sword techniques he's cultivated over the years. With his handsome looks and superb swordsmanship, he quickly attracted a large number of fans, including martial arts experts, who flocked to his livestream to exchange insights.

As for Diluk, the content of this guy's live broadcast surprised Tianming - he was actually selling alcohol! He directly danced around in a skirt and chatted with Eryi Shaanxi Dance Cu6`"/鏾鸸. After the initial stage of rapid popularity, he became the ultimate form of internet celebrity - a live broadcaster selling goods.

Upon hearing this, Tianming was speechless. However, to support Diluk, he opened a world channel between Teyvat and Blue Star for delivery. As a result, the first batch of Dandelion Wine arrived on Blue Star to an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response. MiHoYo's Dandelion Wine quickly became a hit among Blue Star's wine-tasting community. Although Diluk didn't receive payment, he discovered that those who paid for the wine were generating significantly more Rough Stones than the average person, with each person generating nearly as much as 100 human units.

Tianming was also surprised by this discovery. To further support Diluk, he also asked Meita to register the trademark and patent for Dandelion Wine on Blue Star.

In addition to live streaming, some people have also started trying to post videos.

Klee created a video series called "Klee's Daily Life in Teyvat." The content is nothing more than frying fish and riding summoned creatures around, but within a few days, this series dominated the Bilibili trending charts. It seems that everyone might be a Luoli fan, but they just don't realize it...

Jean dug out the footage of the Knights' battle against ten thousand Hilichurls from her terminal's automatic recording function, edited it briefly, and posted it. Instantly, the entire anime community erupted in excitement. After all, what company would spend the money to produce an animated battle involving tens of thousands of people? Such an impossible scene, surprisingly, was created by a supposed virtual streamer. To date, the video has garnered nearly ten million views, earning Jean nearly 1000 gems, making her the second richest woman in Teyvat.

Of course, Jean didn't use these stones directly for her wish. She used 500 of them to hire Silkcock to clear out the hillfolk around Mondstadt.

However, even with this, they only managed to eliminate 500,000 black-energy-enhanced Hilichurls. In Tianming's original world, Mondstadt had a population of approximately 300,000, and including the surrounding towns and villages, the total population approached 400,000. However, the number of Hilichurls in the wilds of Mondstadt was several times that number, reaching over two million.

Although Silkcock had eliminated 50 black-energy-enhanced Hilichurls, the mysterious black energy seemed to accelerate the monsters' reproduction. The loss of 50 wasn't a fatal blow to the Hilichurls. However, this week's cleanup operation had temporarily restored peace to the area surrounding Mondstadt. Even if the monsters were infected by the black energy, they weren't fools and wouldn't seek death.

Volume 1: The Birth of miHoYo: 026 Lillia: "Look! A shooting star!"

As for new members of the association, there are none.

Tianming gave each junior member a membership recommendation slot. The recommended member could then participate in the trial at Tianming to gain membership. However, several members seemed to lack a referral, and Tianming was reluctant to proactively invite anyone to join.

The most important condition for joining the association is to have a desire to achieve it no matter what.

But in today's Mondstadt, there are only a few people who meet the requirements - Eula, who wants revenge before becoming patrol captain, Bennett, who wants to be lucky, little Amy, who likes fantasy, and Albedo, who pursues the truth in the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain.

These people will try to give them a chance after dawn and there is no need to rush.

As for the others, none of them seemed to have any strong desire.

Emmm~~Maybe there is also a Diona who wants to make wine that won’t make people drunk.

Huh? You mean Wendy?

Wendy's biggest wish now might be to have an endless supply of drinks. If Wendy really joined the association, Tianming wouldn't know how to allocate the prize pool for him.

As for Mond and Teyvat, none of the terminal bracelets that Tianming had sent out before responded, which made Tianming very worried.

One thing I do every day when I am free is to check whether the terminals I have sent out have sent back any messages.

Perhaps if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response.

That morning at breakfast, one of the terminal bracelets Tianming sent out finally received a reply.

Tianming was ecstatic. He didn't care whether he had finished breakfast or not, nor did he care about the strange looks from Meita and Sicock. He turned around and went back to his room to check the messages.

Due to the world barriers, not much information was sent back.

All that was known was that the terminal bracelet had landed in the Honkai Impact 3 world and had successfully chosen a target, attaching itself to a certain character. As to which character, the information remained unspecified. Now, they just had to wait for that character to express a strong desire. The terminal bracelet would then activate the contract signing space, and Tianming would then be able to directly sense the situation there through his thoughts through the backdoor left in the bracelet.

"Okay! I'm not going anywhere today! I'll just stay in this room and watch! I don't believe the contract space can't be triggered today!"

………………

five minutes ago.

In the world of Honkai Impact 3, the remains of the previous civilization, Haiyuan City.

Theresa, Bronya and others came here, wanting to enter the Quantum Sea through the Eye of the Abyss and retrieve the Gem of Desire.

However, the Emperor-level Honkai Beast Tlaloc suddenly emerged from the Eye of the Abyss and shattered the platform under everyone's feet. Tlaloc then retreated back to the Quantum Sea, and the Eye of the Abyss was about to close.

At this critical moment, Bronya did not hesitate and chose to jump into the Eye of the Abyss and enter the Quantum Sea at the last moment.

In addition to retrieving the Desire Gem, she also had a hidden desire when she went to the Quantum Sea this time - to retrieve Seele who was lost in the Quantum Sea.
