After breakfast, it was time to get to work. But today was quite peaceful, with no customers for half the day. Could he slack off a bit?
"Why not help Chóngchóng with the new PV? The Herrscher of Flamescion is a good theme, but it's too far in the future, I don't even know how many updates it will take. I'll finish Sirin's first, then do the Herrscher of Void's. That's good, good."
He figured that once the two PVs were released, some energy would flow into the next update, and the real-world boss mode could be opened. That mode was quite interesting.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
A man's voice came in. Seeing the sign hanging outside, it was open. That's good, it opened quite early.
Pushing open the glass door, he saw Lu Ze sitting in front of the computer.
"Is this our shopkeeper? A bit disappointing! I thought it would be a handsome man as tall as me. Although, it's not much different."
Brown short hair, dressed in the style of Snezhnaya, with a Hydro Vision on his waist and a mask on the side.
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency, you must be Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui. What brings such an important person to my humble shop?"
Lu Ze also stood up, after all, the person in front of him was not like ordinary people. He was affiliated with the Fatui, and those eleven were probably not good people.
This Childe in front of him was relatively normal, but he could still play his usual tricks. You wouldn't even know when he'd stab you in the back.
"I say, do you have to be in such a hurry? Running so fast, this shop is right here, it's not going to run away."
At the door, a black cloak, blonde hair, and an eyepatch on his right eye. This was probably Rosalyne, the Eighth Harbinger of the Fatui, "La Signora."
"Not bad, two Fatui Harbingers are gracing my shop today. My future little shop will surely be honored. However, what is your purpose in coming here? If you have any ill intentions, please turn left at the door."
Lu Ze wasn't afraid at all. After all, with only two such Fatui Harbingers, he wouldn't be scared even if all eleven came. Did they understand the true power of S-rank Valkyries?
"You guy, what does it matter to you if I'm fast or not? Shopkeeper, I'm here simply to ask about your strength and to experience this so-called Honkai Impact 3rd. I was already curious about the rules of this world when I saw the promotional video."
A glint flashed in Tartaglia's blue eyes. He would never waste an opportunity to become stronger. Seeing the rules in the promotional video, the ability to draw items from Honkai Impact 3rd, wasn't this a sure-fire chance to get stronger?
"Is that so? Then let's go outside. Don't scare the children, although it's unlikely."
The two walked outside and soon arrived at an open space. The Whispering Woods was neither too big nor too small. Anyway, it was the wilderness, and anything could happen.
Rosalyne watched all this with amusement. She was also a little curious about the shopkeeper's strength. If he was very strong, she might consider recruiting him. But if he disrupted her plans, she would spare no effort... to kill him.
"Do you want to go first, or shall I? If I go first, you might not have a chance."
Lu Ze took out a spear from space, the Divine Key "Abyss Flower," which was more than enough to deal with a Fatui Harbinger.
"Such great strength, then I apologize."
Tartaglia immediately entered his second form. He put on his mask, and his original gray attire turned black. His red cloak billowed, and the collision of Hydro and Electro elements filled the surroundings with lightning.
His bow and arrow transformed into a purple Electro spear, and he launched a swift frontal assault. But before he could get close, he was blocked by countless vines.
The Electro spear pierced the vines fiercely, but it caused no damage to the opponent. This made Tartaglia a little alarmed. What was going on?
Without time to think, Tartaglia leaped quickly, running rapidly across the countless vines. Lu Ze, who was behind the vines, felt a sense of danger.
Tartaglia leaped directly from the vines, unleashing a sky-fall spear technique. The purple spear plunged fiercely into the ground, and countless bolts of lightning spread outwards. By all rights, this attack should have caused a severe injury.
But who was Lu Ze? He gently blocked with the "Abyss Flower," and it was blocked.
"This is no good either. I'll let you have another move. Let's see if you can successfully defeat me?"
Tartaglia's heart was ignited by these words. He leaped backward, and his Electro spear transformed into a bow. Countless Hydro and Electro powers gathered in the bow, and then he fired.
The purple arrow instantly transformed into a whale and dived straight towards Lu Ze.
But soon, as the dust settled, a giant vine dome could be seen blocking the attack.
"No way, such a powerful move was blocked by this thing?"
Rosalyne, watching from afar, was also a little shocked. She couldn't completely withstand this move, but the shopkeeper of the Honkai Impact 3rd experience store did it. Was it because of that weapon?
"Three moves have passed, it's my turn! Divine Key, first rated power, Holy Spear Blossom!"
Lu Ze leaped high, and the spear fiercely stabbed towards Tartaglia. Instantly, a huge explosion occurred around them, about ten meters wide. This was done intentionally; he didn't want to involve Mondstadt in the disaster.
Mini-Theater: Why don't you go back?
"Shopkeeper, why are you free to invite me to dinner today? I remember you are always busy."
Zhongli silently ate the dishes in front of him. Recently, he was busy with the Rite of Descension, and he had to create a clone to get by.
"It's okay today. There aren't many customers, and the kitchen exploded, so I had to eat out. Sigh, my heart is tired."
If the kitchen hadn't exploded, he wouldn't have had to eat out. If possible, he still wanted to eat food made by Venti.
"Then why don't you go back to Mondstadt? I remember your shop should have a teleportation device, right? Isn't it instantaneous to go back?"
That's a good question. Why doesn't Lu Ze use it? It's not like the house in Mondstadt isn't occupied by a bunch of women. If he went back, there would be constant fighting and night raids, so how could he rest?
