After enduring a round of inhumane torture, Ye Luo finally staggered out of the training room.
Dammit… that old fox… she kept zapping us!
And Lumine and Paimon were just standing on the side WATCHING.
Fine.
Just wait — one day he and Bruce would settle accounts with all of them!
But first, he had more important things to test — his Teleport Waypoint access.
Wait…
In his memories, Waypoints only worked because the Traveler had personally activated them one by one.
So what did his access count as?
Was he going to need to run around manually unlocking each one?
Ye Luo's face instantly collapsed.
How utterly tasteless.
…But on the bright side, maybe the Traveler's map synced with his own?
If they were shared, then—
Even partial access was a huge upgrade.
At long last, he had achieved true travel freedom.
"Alright… let's find a waypoint nearby."
As for the one in Port Ormos…
People everywhere.
He was shy.
There should be one in the wild near here.
Ye Luo searched east and west until he found a tall, peculiar stone pillar.
The top was shaped like a budding flower, the center narrowed into a slender core, and the bottom formed a heavy base.
About two meters tall.
He closed his eyes and placed his hand onto it.
Before today, no matter how he touched it, nothing ever happened.
But now—
A faint warmth.
A pulse.
He resonated with the Teleport Waypoint.
A soft blue glow rippled outward.
Countless bright dots appeared before his eyes, each representing a teleport destination he could now access.
Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru sparkled brightly — already activated.
Fontaine, however… completely dark.
Ye Luo's face lit up with joy.
This was great news.
It meant his teleport access synced with the Traveler's.
Perfect.
Now he could take commissions in other nations.
The moment he remembered how in-game actions affected reality, Ye Luo's smile deepened.
And then he remembered…
Those disgusting daily commissions from his previous life.
Tasks that haunted him.
Tasks that made him want to log out the moment he saw them.
Tasks that made him beg friends to share their world dailies.
Tasks that, for the sake of Primogems, he still forced himself to complete while suppressing the urge to puke.
Every nation had at least ONE daily that made him want to uninstall.
The ones he couldn't escape.
His red pupils flared with righteous fury.
Good.
Perfect.
I hope you disgusting NPCs are still there.
Today—
He would represent players worldwide.
And bring justice.
Feel the wrath of the playerbase.
First stop—Mondstadt!
Ye Luo appeared beside a Teleport Waypoint, startling a nearby adventurer into pulling a weapon.
"Ahem! Relax, I'm one of you."
He flashed his Adventurer's Badge and glanced around.
Ah, yes.
The familiar camp.
Though he felt a bit dizzy.
Probably a teleportation side-effect.
Good thing when he was just a mortal, he couldn't teleport.
Otherwise, he'd be dead by now.
Space manipulation was no joke.
And this relic tech barely protected him during transfer.
He took a deep breath and went down the mountain.
There—
He saw the man he hated more than anything.
Chervich.
You mother— it really IS you.
Ye Luo's face brightened with a blissful smile as he approached the Fatui merchant.
"Unbelievable… Knights of Favonius… useless as always…"
Chervich rubbed his temples, clearly distressed.
"How can I help?"
Ye Luo asked warmly.
"Ugh, those useless knights said there were monsters ahead and told me to wait!
I have important things to do — who has time for this!?"
Chervich huffed, then looked Ye Luo up and down with an arrogant tone.
"I see you're an adventurer. How about you help me out? I'll pay."
Oh? Pay?
Ye Luo's smile widened dangerously.
"Payment? Of course. I'll clear them out in no time."
Two swords appeared in his hands.
He turned toward the canyon—
BOOOOM!!!
A blinding light cannon exploded across the valley.
Chervich's face went pale as daylight blasted across his retinas.
Monsters shrieked in the distance as they vaporized.
"So.
How much was the payment again?"
Ye Luo asked gently.
"F-five thousand…?"
Chervich originally planned to lowball the "sucker adventurer."
But after witnessing a canyon get nuked—
His entire body shook.
"No?"
Ye Luo tilted his head, crossing his arms.
Chervich nearly knelt.
"F-fifty thousand!! I only have fifty thousand left, great hero!!"
Compared to his life, Mora was nothing.
"Hmm… acceptable. Sign here."
Ye Luo grinned.
He had been preparing for this moment for years.
Just seeing Chervich in the game always made him furious.
This day… this release…
"Okay… okay…"
Chervich sniffled as he stamped the contract and handed over the fifty thousand Mora.
Ye Luo returned to the waypoint feeling refreshed.
He felt like he'd just… released TEN times.
Next—
you like losing your keys, right?
Down in Dadaupa Gorge, Ye Luo shouted encouragement at Wild, who was stuck in a tree surrounded by hilichurls.
"Come on! Believe in yourself! I'm sure you'll find your lost key someday!!"
...
Next—
Qingce Village swordsman duo.
In Jueyun Karst, Ye Luo descended the mountain like an elegant swordsman.
"Traveler, please wait!"
A man approached excitedly.
"Your steps are stable, your aura impressive—"
"Get to the point."
Ye Luo answered coldly, fully acting the wandering swordsman.
"You dare speak so rudely to my senior—!"
Before the girl finished, Ye Luo flicked his sword—
Slice—
A few strands of her bangs drifted down.
"Apologies."
Sun Yu rushed over, bowing deeply.
"My junior sister is spoiled and speaks carelessly. Please forgive her."
Ye Luo scoffed softly, then blurred forward, plucking a Qingxin flower from the cliffside.
He handed it to Sun Yu and said:
"Heart free of women — sword moves divine.
Lesson one: Forget those around you."
Then stepped onto his blade and vanished with wind swirling behind him.
Sun Yu stood stunned, clutching the Qingxin.
...
Next—
Fishing addict Kaiwan.
In Port Ormos, Ye Luo approached him holding a fishing rod.
"Oh? A newcomer to fishing?"
Kaiwan's eyes sparkled.
He loved showing off to newbies.
"Uh… haha, it's my first time. Anything I should know?"
Ye Luo asked shyly.
"Well, choosing this spot already shows you have talent. Now, bait is a deep topic and—hey, what are you—"
Ye Luo tossed the line in.
With only a Sunsettia as bait.
Kaiwan's jaw dropped.
"That's not— Sunsettias aren't—"
Before he could finish—
THANK YOU!
A massive fish slammed onto Ye Luo's hook.
"Wahoo! Kaiwan-senpai! Am I amazing for a first-timer?"
Ye Luo beamed innocently.
"C-cough… compared to me you still have a ways to go."
Kaiwan forced a proud cough.
Then—
"Another one!"
"Waaah! Rare species?!"
"Ah! Another one!!"
By the time they finished, Ye Luo's bucket overflowed.
Kaiwan's bucket?
Bone dry.
Ye Luo patted his shoulder kindly:
"If all else fails, just buy fish at the market. No shame in that."
