Seeing Balladeer walk away without looking back, Xavier quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't go! I was just kidding."
"Hmph!"
Balladeer snorted coldly, still showing no intention of acknowledging Xavier.
"How do you know this guy? He's very difficult to talk to, famously difficult to talk to in all of Sumeru."
Tighnari saw that Xavier and Balladeer seemed quite familiar with each other, so he asked Furina and the others beside him.
When he learned that Balladeer had gone to Teyvat with Nahida, he finally understood what was going on.
But even so, he still found it an incredibly strange thing.
"It's truly odd, he actually makes friends with others..." Tighnari said, stroking his chin.
Kokomi was very puzzled: "Is this a unique style of your Sumeru, where friends fight when they meet?"
"Uh..."
Tighnari was at a loss for words for a moment, thinking for a long time before replying, "This isn't our Sumeru's style; it's just that this guy usually doesn't talk to anyone."
"So that's what it means..." Kokomi suddenly understood.
Since she came to Xavier's home, she had not seen Balladeer appear, so she did not understand the situation between Balladeer and Xavier.
In other words, for Balladeer, just being willing to talk to someone already counts as a very good relationship.
"Alright, I don't want to waste any more time with you, so why exactly have you come to Sumeru?"
Balladeer was too lazy to dilly-dally with Xavier and directly asked Xavier's purpose.
"Actually, it's nothing much, I just heard that Kaveh has recently gone off the deep end with his designs. Do you know anything about it?" Xavier asked.
Balladeer spread his hands, mockingly saying, "Do you think I'm an omnipotent god? How could I possibly know what that guy is doing?"
Xavier was speechless, knowing he shouldn't have asked this guy.
"Forget it, asking you is pointless. I'll just go find Kaveh directly." Xavier waved his hand, intending to leave.
However, at this moment, Balladeer suddenly said, "I'm actually willing to go see what happened. Maybe I can help."
Xavier's eyes immediately lit up, and the bullet comments also began to exclaim.
"Damn, when did Balladeer change his personality?"
"Exactly! He's actually going to help Kaveh, that's unscientific!"
"This shows progress, he's changing!"
Although Xavier was a bit surprised, he still agreed.
"Alright, then you can come with us and see what's going on."
Xavier led Balladeer back to the team, and he didn't notice the playful smile on Balladeer's lips.
It was clear that the reason Balladeer was willing to go see Kaveh wasn't because he genuinely cared about Kaveh.
Nor was he genuinely trying to help; he simply wanted to watch the show.
"Let's go, I imagine that guy is still painstakingly designing right now."
Alhaitham saw Xavier return, so he led everyone towards his home.
"I heard those two are roommates. I really want to see what their room looks like." Furina said with great anticipation as they walked.
These two have completely opposite personalities, so surely some clues could be seen from the style of their bedrooms.
The netizens were also very much looking forward to it, eager to know what Alhaitham and Kaveh's daily interactions were like.
And when Xavier was walking on the street live-streaming, it gave netizens a sense of spatial transcendence.
Because everything, from the street layout and details to the pedestrians themselves, was exactly like in the game, even surpassing it in detail.
Under such circumstances, how could one doubt that this wasn't in Teyvat?
After Hua Ling and the others learned that Xavier had gone to Sumeru, they also took advantage of their work time to slack off and watch the live stream.
With their many years of experience, they could tell that even if these places were artificially arranged, the cost would absolutely be extraordinary.
Including some of the buildings in the distance, those would require a huge amount of cost to achieve.
And it would also take a long time, not something that could be done overnight or in a day or two.
"It's truly strange, how on earth did Xavier do all this...?" Hua Ling murmured to herself, unable to figure it out no matter how she thought about it.
Moreover, she heard from netizens that he seemed to have already gotten Sumeru's local specialties for himself and others.
At that time, they would just need to take a look to understand the situation, right?
"Stop, thief!"
Xavier was interacting with netizens and admiring the scenery of Sumeru City when suddenly someone shouted loudly.
"What, in broad daylight, someone dares to steal? How audacious!"
When Xavier heard someone shout 'thief,' the light of justice immediately shone.
Indeed, a man dressed in coarse linen, with his head and face covered, ran towards them, constantly looking back.
From this, it could be seen that this guy was definitely a thief, simply a standard thief!
"A thief? How can this be!"
Furina was also overflowing with a sense of justice and immediately summoned her three followers.
"Quickly, blow bubbles and stop this guy!"
And so, the three hydro-formed creatures all blew bubbles together, not only stopping the thief but also filling the entire street with bubbles.
"Hey, Furina, can you make the bubbles smaller? We're all blocked."
Hu Tao continuously pushed away the bubbles, finally clearing the space in front of her with great difficulty.
After clearing it, she found that the thief had fallen to the ground due to the bubbles, somewhat flustered and disoriented.
He tried to get up and escape again, but there were too many bubbles, making it impossible to even distinguish directions.
"Sigh..."
Kokomi sighed; Furina's personality was a bit too reckless.
So, with a gentle wave of her hand, all the bubbles shattered instantly, turning into hydro element and returning to the world.
"Finally caught you!"
A youthful and vibrant voice came, accompanied by a red figure.
Seeing the other person, Furina shouted loudly, "Huh? It's Nilou!"
That's right, the person whose belongings were stolen by the thief was Nilou.
She had originally intended to catch the thief herself, but she didn't expect Furina to lend a hand.
"Eh, you know me?"
Nilou, who was about to catch the thief, was suddenly stunned, because she had never seen this person before, and from her attire, she didn't seem like someone from Sumeru.
Could it be that her reputation had already spread so widely, even to other nations?
"Of course I know you! Your dancing is very good, I really like it!" Furina nodded repeatedly.
This made Nilou a bit embarrassed: "Thank you for your liking..."
"Ahem, can you two be polite later? The thief ran away again." Xavier interrupted their conversation.
"Oh no!"
Nilou was extremely anxious; she had finally managed to chase him down with such difficulty.
Just as she was about to pursue again, she didn't expect the thief, as if he had lost his mind, to start running in the opposite direction!
