"If I don't do this, how would I know if your waist is tight?"
"Do you think I'll believe that after hearing this?" Keqing responded, slightly irritated.
Just as the two were "flirting," a prompt from the guild rang in their ears: "Discover the dimensional commission from the Pokémon world: persuade Mewtwo to give up his revenge on humans and help him eliminate all his troubles. Reward: 30,000 dimensional points, with up to five participants. Points will be distributed based on contribution. Participants can receive at least 5% of the total points."
"30,000 dimension points?" Keqing's curiosity peaked. "I remember the last Nine-Tailed task only had 25,000 points. This Mewtwo mission offers 30,000 points. Does that mean Mewtwo is stronger than the Nine-Tailed Fox?"
At that moment, Keqing forgot about the hand on her waist and the breath on her neck. She was focused entirely on the task at hand.
Though she had only completed two tasks so far, Liyue had already begun to benefit. Wudang Mountain's techniques had been adopted by the Liyue high-ranking officials and were expected to be promoted within the Qianyan Army. This would greatly improve their overall strength.
Recently, Keqing had been waking up early to train, dragging Smith along for morning exercises—no, she meant to say practice. She spent her afternoons handling government affairs and her evenings practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong. Though she had only been training for a short time, Keqing already felt her strength growing rapidly.
Although the martial artists in the world might seem weak, Keqing believed that those arts were far from useless. This was just the beginning. Over time, Liyue's power would only continue to grow stronger.
But the task offering 30,000 points seemed a bit too difficult, didn't it?
"With the Nine-Tailed Fox having the strength of a demon god, how powerful is Mewtwo?" Keqing mused.
Smith replied thoughtfully, "We can't just fight against each other this time. After all, the target is a god—and one created by humans."
Xiao, ever the realist, added, "If the opponent is a god, then this mission might require the intervention of the Rock King."
Zhongli's voice echoed with an air of curiosity. "In that case, I'll participate in this mission. I'm also curious about gods from other worlds—or gods created by humans."
"Eh, hey hey? What does this mean? Could Zhongli be the Rock King?" Hu Tao teased.
Smith rolled his eyes. "Zhongli is Morax. Didn't you know?"
Hu Tao blinked in confusion. "Why should I know? I always thought he was a fairy from Liyue. But how could Zhongli be the Rock King? How could the Rock King send the bill to the past? Shengtang! Shouldn't he just make Mora and pay for it?"
Keqing, unable to help herself, added, "I thought you were the first to know, Master Hu."
Ningguang raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if you didn't know before, surely you've figured it out by now, especially after joining the guild."
Hu Tao groaned. "Damn it! So, I'm the only one who didn't know? Zhongli, you've got to explain yourself!"
Zhongli, calm as ever, responded, "As Zhongli, I'm just a guest of Shengtang, not the Rock King Emperor Morax. As for Mora, it's a rule that a mortal like me cannot create it."
Hu Tao shrugged, somewhat satisfied. "Is that so? Fine, let's just assume what you said is true."
Keqing's expression was serious now. "What about this mission? If the Emperor is participating, Smith should also join, right? After all, you two are the only ones familiar with the situation in that world."
Smith nodded. "I'll participate. The unique creatures in that world are quite interesting. If possible, I'd like to bring some back."
Keqing agreed. "In that case, I'll join and see for myself."
Ningguang shook her head. "I won't participate, nor will Ganyu. We're busy with work. Liyue Bank's affairs are consuming a lot of my energy. Keqing should focus on improving her strength, especially with Dvalin's challenge ahead."
Xiao, always loyal to the cause, said, "In that case, I'll take part as well."
Hu Tao, ever eager for a challenge, added, "I'll participate too! I'm curious to see if there's anything that the president cares about."
Smith raised an eyebrow. "By the way, the guild can upload information. I'll upload the details of the Pokémon world. You can review the information first, and we'll head there together."
"Ding! President Smith has uploaded the Pokémon world information."
As Smith uploaded the information, the others quickly downloaded and began to review it.
Keqing was the first to comment. "Is this Pokémon? Will they help us deal with monsters in the future?"
Zhongli stroked his chin, deep in thought. "It depends on whether Pokémon can reproduce in our world. Also, the gods in the Pokémon world may not be weaker than I am. I must be cautious when we enter. After all, I'm no match for the God of Creation."
Zhongli's tone was full of awe. He had always considered himself one of the strongest beings in Teyvat, but the thought of even more powerful beings existing made him uneasy.
"If Asmodeus were in this world, would he doubt his own life?" Zhongli thought, his mind racing.
Smith smirked. "It shouldn't be too difficult to get Mewtwo to give up on his revenge, but helping him resolve his future troubles could be more challenging. Team Rocket's members are well-hidden. If we don't deal with them properly, Mewtwo will likely continue to be hunted."
Hu Tao, ever confident, shrugged. "What's so hard about that? Just bring Mewtwo to Teyvat. After all, we immortals are all similar. The Emperor can make him an immortal."
Xiao, who had been listening quietly, shot a glance at Hu Tao. "..." He was clearly offended.
Smith chuckled. "It's not impossible."
Zhongli nodded. "Let's see how Mewtwo reacts."

In the Pokémon world, at Mewtwo's castle, a confrontation was unfolding. Ash and his team had discovered Mewtwo's true identity: he was not human but a Pokémon. The trainers were enraged by Mewtwo's words.
"I don't care if you're a Pokémon or a human," Ash shouted, determined. "You have no right to say such things! You're not allowed to hurt Pikachu or anyone else!"
With that, Ash charged toward Mewtwo, slamming into his protective barrier. The impact sent Ash flying backward.
