Damn it, now she has something on Shinobu Kuki!

"Who is it? Oh, I can't remember." Jiuqi Shinobu blinked his big purple eyes mischievously and teased deliberately.

"You... forget it, just follow me."

Kujo Tsumugi also knew that there was no way to get information about the leaker from Kuki Shinobu, so she gave up quickly. On the way to the destination, she just kept reminding Kuki Shinobu not to tell her sister about this, otherwise Kujo Sara would definitely hang her up and beat her.

When she said this, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but touch her round little buttocks, as if she remembered something, and shuddered all over.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination - the largest tavern in Mond, Angel's Gift.

Tsumugi Kujo's idea was simple. As the richest man in Mondstadt, Diluc, who monopolized the wine industry in Mondstadt, must be very rich. If one wanted to make a lot of money in Mondstadt, one must cooperate with Diluc. As for the Knights of Favonius? They were just a bunch of poor fellows.

The Angel's Gift was very lively in the evening. As soon as they entered the door, the noise of the crowd instantly swallowed up Kujo Tsumugi and Kuki Shinobu, which made the two of them, who both disliked noisy scenes, frown at the same time.

"Hello, ladies, welcome to Angel's Gift." Seeing the guests coming, the bartender Charles immediately greeted them with a professional smile.

"I'm here to see Master Diluk. Is he here today?" Tsumugi Kujo said straight to the point. Diluk sometimes works as a bartender in his own tavern, so Tsumugi Kujo came here to see if he could run into him.

"I'm sorry, sir. Master Diluk had to leave Mondstadt a few days ago due to some urgent matters." The bartender Charles said respectfully.

"Then when Master Diluk comes back, please give him this letter and tell him that the second young lady from the Kujo family of Inazuma wants to do business with him."

Tsumugi Kujo took out the letter she had prepared in advance and handed it to Charles, then took Shinobu Kuki and left the Angel's Gift.

"Look, I told you I won't do anything weird." On the way back to the hotel, Tsumugi Kujo said to Shinobu Kuki, "So, Shinobu, you don't need to be by my side all the time. After all, I'm twenty years old. I know what I should and shouldn't do."

I believe you!

Kuki Shinobu glared at Kujo Tsumugi and said nothing, but his eyes expressed this meaning.

Kujo Tsumugi's sister Kujo Sara is a good friend of Hisagi Shinobu, so although the two have met very few times, Hisagi Shinobu is very familiar with Kujo Tsumugi's style of doing things - insidious, cunning, ruthless, and the style of the Fatui is considered to be upright compared to hers. If Kujo Tsumugi did not do everything for the good of Inazuma, then she would be a more terrifying person than the Fatui.

"Well, if you don't believe it, forget it."

Seeing the look in Hisagi Shinobu's eyes, Kujo Tsumugi knew that the other party did not believe what he said, so he shrugged and changed the subject.

The two chatted as they returned to the hotel and went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Late that night, the sky was dotted with stars and the bright moon cast a hazy silver gauze over everything in Mondstadt. Just as the people of Mondstadt were immersed in their dreams, Tsumugi Kujo quietly opened her eyes.

"Ha, it's really hard to shake off Kuki Shinobu's tail..."

Tsumugi Kujo came to the window of the hotel and looked out. After making sure that no one on the street was watching her, she opened the window. Two pairs of black wings appeared behind her.

Kujo Tsumugi and Kujo Sara are not human beings, but a kind of monster unique to Inazuma called "Tengu". It was only when they were adopted by the head of the Kujo family when they were young that they got the surname "Kujo" and were able to enter the core of power of Inazuma.

The purple lightning did not attract anyone's attention under the cover of darkness. Kujo Tsumugi stood in the air, looking at the Goethe Hotel not far from his feet.

This hotel was originally the largest and most luxurious hotel in Mondstadt. However, after Grand Master Falga led the expedition, the Fatui envoys became more and more arrogant and booked the entire hotel as a base for the Fatui's activities in Mondstadt.

If it was in Inazuma, when she saw the Fatui, she would definitely take out her knife and chop them without saying a word, but since this is Mondstadt, Kujo Tsumugi could only suppress the murderous intent that was welling up in her heart.

"Huh? This is..."

Just as Kujo Tsumugi was about to land from the air, he suddenly discovered that on the second floor of the Goethe Hotel, a Fatui wearing a Thunder Warlock uniform opened the window.

Tsumugi Kujo narrowed her eyes slightly, a cunning smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she quietly flew towards the open window...

Chapter 13: Stupid people with lots of money and fools

To Your Excellency:

The situation in Mondstadt has become increasingly tense recently. The people are calling on the Knights to send troops to attack the wind dragon Tevarin. The Knights of Favonius are also busy dealing with Tevarin's attacks and are unable to deal with other matters. Therefore, our operations in Mondstadt have gone smoothly. However, rumors about the "Hero of the Dark Night" have suddenly appeared in Mondstadt recently. Although we have not had any conflict with him so far, his existence is undoubtedly a potential threat to us.

The plan has now reached a critical moment, so I would like to ask you, Madam, to return to Mondstadt to prevent any unexpected accidents.

Anastasia, Counselor of the Fatui.

After sealing the letter and tying it to the pigeon's leg, Anastasia opened the window and released the pigeon. If everything went well, she would get the lady's next order tomorrow morning.

Well, “if” everything goes well.

Just after the carrier pigeon flew more than ten meters into the sky, a purple lightning quickly approached from behind it. Before Anastasia could react, the lightning turned into a beautiful girl in a kimono with long purple hair, and the carrier pigeon was caught in the girl's delicate hand and kept struggling.

"Hey, it's a carrier pigeon. Let me see what's written on it."

Tsumugi Kujo noticed the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and took it off. Then the lightning element in her body exploded in her palm. The pigeon that had just been struggling suddenly became motionless under the violent lightning element and also emitted bursts of tempting fragrance.

"Electric roasted pigeon, do you want to taste it?"

Tsumugi Kujo threw the dead pigeon back into the room. At this time, Anastasia's face was as gloomy as water.

"I advise you not to think about looking for your Mist Lantern. I can definitely kill you before that happens." Kujo Tsumugi flew into the room from the window, sat down beside the bed, and carefully looked at the letter in his hand. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, everything seems to be going well. What's the plan? Are you planning to steal the Sky Harp, or are you planning to snatch the Heart of the Wind God?"

"W-what, how do you know..."

"Okay, I'm too lazy to explain to you. You don't have to pretend to be like that and try to trick me." Kujo Tsumugi waved the letter in his hand, "I'm here to do business with you. This is my sincerity."

Then, Tsumugi Kujo threw the letter in her hand to Anastasia. The letter drew a curve in the air and was then caught steadily by Anastasia's hand.

This letter proved that the Fatui were planning something in Mondstadt. If Tsumugi Kujo gave it to Captain Koto, she could use it as a reason to expel the Fatui delegation. Then, if the Fatui's plan was not completely ruined, it would at least be greatly hindered. However, Tsumugi Kujo returned the letter to the Fatui, which was enough to prove her sincerity.

"What business do you want to start?" Anastasia asked coldly.

"It's simple, it's an intelligence business." Tsumugi Kujo spread out his hands, "I know the identity of the wind god Barbatos in the mortal world, and I can tell you. The price is 50 million Mora."

As the saying goes, be a man of ten. When facing the leader of the Koto group, Tsumugi will give him some face and not ask for an exorbitant price, but he will not be so kind when facing the Fatui.

"...Is everything you said true?" Anastasia couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, I can guarantee the authenticity of the information, but I have to pay you 50 million Mora, not a single Mora less. Pay first and I'll give you the information later."

"This..." Anastasia hesitated after hearing what Kujo Tsumugi said. The amount of 50 million Mora was really too large. If Kujo Tsumugi cheated Mora and ran away, she would definitely be in trouble if the lady knew about it.

But if what the other party said was true, then getting the information about the God of Wind with only 50 million Mora would definitely be a great achievement. Maybe he could even get his own Evil Eye!

Anastasia felt her breathing become heavier at the thought of this possibility.

The Kingdom of Winter is a country that advocates the use of force. As a native Winter person, Anastasia's pursuit of power has almost reached a pathological level. However, due to her limited talent, it is difficult for Anastasia to further improve her strength, so she can only be a small counselor.

If she could obtain the Evil Eye, Anastasia's strength would surely be further enhanced. By then, even if she couldn't become an executive officer, she could at least become a squadron leader or a captain, right?

But...it's a big gamble.

Anastasia's superior is not a kind person. If Anastasia was cheated out of 50 million Mora in vain, the lady might kill her out of anger.

The two ideas collided in Anastasia's mind, and in the end, the desire for power prevailed.

"Okay, I promise you." Anastasia took out a check from the desk drawer and gave it to Tsumugi Kujo. "This is a check for 50 million Mora. You can use it to exchange it for Mora at the North Country Bank."

"can."

Kujo Tsumugi took the check, confirmed that it was indeed 50 million Mora, and put it away.

"In the mortal world, the Wind God Barbatos is a young man named Wendy, who claims to be the best bard in the entire continent. If he came to Mondstadt, he would probably sing at the foot of the Wind God statue or under the big oak tree in the Wind Rising Land. The tavern he frequents most is the Angel's Gift, but I don't know where he is now."

Tsumugi Kujo thought for a moment, then added: "Barbatos usually looks cynical, and might even make you wonder, 'Is this guy really the God of Wind?'"

"There is a dragon plague in Mondstadt right now. I think Barbatos should investigate this matter in Mondstadt. You can ask someone to wait at the city gate. If you see a man dressed as a bard in a green cloak and a green hat, that person should be him."

Anyway, in the original game plot, Wendy's Heart of God would be taken away by the lady of the Fatui, so Kujo Tsumugi did not feel too much guilt for betraying Wendy.

"That's all the information about the God of Wind. I also have information about the God of Rock, the God of Water, the God of Fire, and the God of Grass. As long as the price is right, I can sell them to you."

After saying that, Kujo Tsumugi hummed a little tune and walked to the window, ready to leave.

"and many more……"

Just as Tsumugi Kujo was about to leave, Anastasia called her.

"who are you?"

Even though Kujo Tsumugi was about to leave, the vigilance in Anastasia's eyes did not decrease in the slightest.

"I'm from Inazuma, the second daughter of the Kujo family. If you need to find me, please contact me by letter, otherwise I won't provide you with any information."

Kujo Tsumugi smiled slightly, then spread her wings and flew into the sky. She didn't want to face the Fatui's executive officer head-on. Although she didn't want to admit it, the authority given to the executive officers by the Ice God was indeed very strong. At present, Kujo Tsumugi's strength was even slightly inferior to that of her sister Kujo Sara. If she faced the Fatui's executive officer head-on, she would definitely have no chance of winning.

Fortunately, Kujo Tsumugi now has a way to quickly increase his strength.

Reaching his hand into his pocket and stroking the check for 50 million Mora, Kujo Tsumugi's smile grew even brighter.

Chapter 14 The second simulation, to become stronger!

The Bank of the North is a financial institution opened in various countries by the Fatui executive "Rich Man". It is responsible for providing financial support for the Fatui's activities in various places, and also uses this institution to make huge profits in various countries.

The headquarters of the Northland Bank is located in Liyue Harbor, the most prosperous place in Teyvat. Except Inazuma, the other five countries have branches of the Northland Bank.

In order to prevent the Fatui from doing anything with the 50 million Mora, early the next morning, when the Mond branch of the Northland Bank just opened, Kujo Tsumugi came to the door with a check.

"Miss, please wait a moment. Our people backstage are counting the Mora for you."

Fifty million Mora was too huge an amount, and Kujo Tsumugi knew that the Northern Country Bank could not give it out immediately, so he waited in the bank's lounge area.

“It’s so inconvenient.”

Watching the bank staff counting Mora in the rest area, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but complain.

I don’t know why, the productivity level of the continent of Teyvat is not that high, but the inflation is ridiculously high. I don’t know what Morax is thinking and why he created so many Moras.

It took Tsumugi Kujo nearly an hour to get 50 million Mora. After getting Mora, Tsumugi Kujo immediately returned to the hotel she rented and couldn't wait to start the second simulation. She had to improve her strength as soon as possible, at least to have the strength to protect herself before the lady arrived in Mondstadt.

……

"Do you want to spend one million Mora to conduct a life simulation? Yes/No"

Yes!

"Please set your birthplace: Mondstadt/Liyue/Inazuma"

Mond!

"Please set the character's purpose:"

Get stronger! Get stronger! Get stronger!

"Please set the character's code of conduct: Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic."

This... Tsumugi Kujo hesitated for a moment, then chose lawfulness. She wanted to see what impact different codes of conduct would have on the simulation.

[0 years old: You were born in a village outside Mondstadt. Your father is the village chief and an experienced hunter, and your mother is a housewife.]

[1 year old: Although your life is very poor, your parents love you very much, so you feel very happy. ]

"Well, with a fairly standard background, I don't know what I'll encounter in the future."

[2 years old: A group of people wearing strange clothes found your father. They called themselves Kanreya people and came from a godless country. They hoped to reach a deal with your village. You were responsible for providing food and meat, and they could trade the precious minerals buried underground.]

"Hmm??? Kanreya? This was before Kanreya was destroyed?"

Kujo Tsumugi was stunned. She didn't expect that the simulation system would simulate events that happened hundreds of years ago.

[At that time, it was considered a crime to trade with the Kanreya people privately, but your father secretly agreed to it in order to allow you to live a more prosperous life.]

[3 years old: Due to the trade with the Kanreya people, your living standard has improved a lot, and the people in the village are envious of your family. They don't know about your father's trade with the Kanreya people, and just think that your father got lucky and picked up a batch of precious ore. ]

[4 years old: Due to sufficient food, your physical development is much better than other children. Although you are only four years old, your physical development has caught up with that of a six or seven-year-old child. You often listen to your father's stories about hunting. You find that you have a special liking for adventure and vow to become a famous ocean-going adventurer when you grow up.]

[5 years old: This year, a team of Favonius knights joined your village. You admired the Favonius knights in handsome armor. A Favonius knight noticed your gaze and half-jokingly asked if you wanted to learn swordsmanship from him. You agreed, and from then on, you had an extra swordsmanship teacher.]

“This is too casual.”

[6 years old: Your father noticed that you were very interested in the Knights of Favonius, so he began to teach you the skills of tracking and survival in the wild. Although these skills were dispensable knowledge for a knight, you still studied them very seriously.]

[7 years old: Your peaceful life was disrupted this year. A group of treasure thieves attacked your village at night. After a fierce battle between the Knights and the villagers, they were eventually driven away. However, your father, mother, and the Knight of Favonius who taught you swordsmanship were all killed in the battle.]

"My goodness, what kind of evil star is this."

After seeing this message, Kujo Tsumugi could no longer hold back.

"Is this the legendary God who will give a man a great responsibility? He must first kill his parents, his brothers and sisters, his family wealth, and his actions in order to become evil and powerful?"

[Although you have encountered such a change, you are a strong person. You quickly recovered from the pain of losing your loved ones. You don't want to stay in this sad place anymore. You are ready to go to Mondstadt and start your new life.]

[After hearing about your decision, the remaining Knights of Favonius in the village wrote you a letter of recommendation. With this letter of recommendation, you can seek help from the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt. The villagers also kindly prepared travel expenses and food for you. You were very touched and promised the villagers that you would definitely make a name for yourself in Mondstadt. Then you followed a caravan passing through the village to Mondstadt.]
