[Scaramouche: Fang Yue, cancel this quest immediately, or I will kill you.]
[Hu Tao: He’s panicking!
He’s panicking!
I’m so curious about what the quest is!]
[Ningguang: He even dared to directly provoke the Tsaritsa.
Who knows which one of you would kill the other?
Do you have no brains?]
[La Signora: Scaramouche’s actions have nothing to do with the Fatui.]
[Tartaglia: Scaramouche’s actions have nothing to do with the Fatui.]
[Yae Miko: Oh my!
You’d better think about how to deal with the quest.
I’ve already had my video recording running for quite a while!]
Seeing everyone in the Intelligence Room taking pleasure in Scaramouche’s misfortune, Lumine glanced at Jean beside her.
“Isn’t this going a little too far?”
“Not really.”
Jean glanced at Scaramouche.
“The Fatui don’t have a very good reputation in any of the nations.
It’s understandable that everyone would target them.”
So that’s how it was.
Lumine decided that she should stay away from the Fatui in the future.
She didn’t want to get caught up in the backlash.
Judging from everyone’s attitude, it was obvious how much the Fatui were disliked.
La Signora was certain that Scaramouche’s quest was definitely nothing good.
She silently moved away.
Right now, she only wanted to distance herself from him.
There was no way she could afford to lose face alongside him.
Scaramouche stood where he was, veins bulging on his forehead and killing intent filling his eyes.
[Please complete the quest immediately.
One minute remains.]
The system even helpfully reminded him of the time limit.
This nearly sent Scaramouche into a complete rage.
What was his identity?
How could he possibly do something like that?
He made up his mind.
Fine.
He wouldn’t move.
Could the system really force him to move?
Everyone also stopped talking.
Even Venti stopped searching and turned his gaze toward Scaramouche.
He wanted to see what Fang Yue would do if Scaramouche refused to complete the quest.
Soon, they got their answer.
[Time’s up.
Forced execution beginning!]
Suddenly, Scaramouche moved.
In just a few steps, he rushed onto an elevated platform.
He spread his arms, looked down at everyone below, and revealed an evil smile.
I have an announcement to make.
I’m a fucking idiot!
Anyone who disagrees can speak up!”
Saying it once wasn’t enough.
Scaramouche remained standing on the platform and repeated the same sentence ten times before finally shutting his mouth.
[Kaeya: No objections.
No objections.
You’re the man.
How would we dare object?!]
[Chongyun: Good grief!
I’ve really seen everything now!]
[Zhongli: So this is what forced execution means.
Such power…
How can anyone guard against it?]
[Venti: I didn’t even have time to react.
Scaramouche suddenly rushed up there.
It really is frightening!]
[Lisa: Screenshot saved.
“I am Scaramouche.JPG.”]
[Xiangling: Thanks for sharing.]
[Xingqiu: Thanks for sharing.]
[Scaramouche: Are you people looking to die?!
Delete it!]
Scaramouche was practically furious.
His body had just moved completely against his will.
He hadn’t expected anything like this.
[Quest completed.
Reward obtained: One large pack of Weilong Spicy Strips.]
“Plop.”
A large package filled with red, stick-shaped snacks fell into Scaramouche’s hands.
After reading the description, his expression became even darker.
He had gone through all that humiliation to complete the quest, and the system had rewarded him with a snack.
Looking at the spicy strips in his hand, the more he stared at them, the angrier he became.
Was his dignity only worth a packet of snacks?
He casually threw them onto the ground and never wanted to look at them again.
Then he noticed a stone statue beside him with a smug, mocking expression.
He immediately punched it.
“Even you dare laugh at me?!”
“Boom!”
The others also turned to look.
They saw Scaramouche punching the stone statue.
The statue didn’t suffer even the slightest damage.
Its wide, mocking grin seemed to be saying:
What’s wrong, little bro?
Didn’t you eat enough?
[Fang Yue: Little bro didn’t eat enough.JPG]
[Eula: Not bad.
I’ll remember this grudge!]
[Thoma: This image is remarkably accurate.
That disdainful gaze and contemptuous smile are absolutely perfect!]
[Diluc: Saved.
I’m preparing to pass it down as a family heirloom.]
[Hu Tao: Good grief.
You’re actually making it a family heirloom?]
[Arataki Itto: Hahahahaha!
I’m dying!
Scaramouche looks like such an idiot!
Hahahaha!]
[Kuki Shinobu: There’s actually someone even more foolish than Boss!]
[Scaramouche: Get lost!
Anyone participating in this game is an idiot!]
Scaramouche completely broke down.
There was nowhere in this space for him to vent his anger.
All he could do was curse under his breath as he walked away.
Out of sight, out of mind.
After Scaramouche left, Paimon glanced at the spicy strips lying abandoned on the ground.
She cautiously crept over and picked up the package.
Since they still had their packaging, she didn’t have to worry about them getting dirty.
She immediately tore it open.
A fragrant, spicy aroma instantly filled the air.
Even Lumine beside her was attracted by the smell.
“What smells so good?”
Lumine turned her head.
Paimon’s mouth was stuffed with something, making her cheeks bulge as she chewed continuously.
“What are you eating, Paim~~~on?”
“Shh!”
Paimon quickly gestured for silence.
She cautiously glanced at Scaramouche before pulling Lumine to the side.
“Those spicy strips Scaramouche threw away.
Try them!
They’re so delicious!
I’ve never eaten anything this good before!”
Paimon was quite generous toward Lumine.
For a foodie, being willing to share food with someone meant that person held a very important place in her heart.
Lumine looked at the spicy strips in Paimon’s hand, picked up one, and tasted it.
Her eyes immediately lit up.
“It’s delicious!”
“Right?
There are still a few left.
We’ll split them half and half!”
Seeing Lumine and Paimon happily eating the spicy strips, Fang Yue couldn’t stay calm anymore.
Could they go eat somewhere else?
Why did these spicy strips smell so good?!
He was only playing a game of hide-and-seek.
Was there really a need to tempt him with snacks that smelled this incredible?
