The journals and newspapers that are everywhere in the streets naturally do not record any secret information, but only some common sense knowledge can be obtained from them.

After watching it for a long time, Bai Qiyun had a general understanding of the world, and he became sleepy.

He experienced a lot today. First, he stayed with Bai Linglong for half a day in the past. After traveling across time, he took the train with Keli for most of the day. After arriving in Mondstadt, he kept running around to go through the formalities.

"I'm so exhausted, every day."

Bai Qiyun stretched out and threw himself on the bed.

Even Yandora, who didn't speak much, was leaning on the bed listlessly like a doll.

Time gradually passed, and the moonlight penetrated the dark clouds, spreading the remaining light to the earth.

The boy's steady breathing gradually sounded in the room.

Just as Bai Qiyun was drifting off to sleep, a black shadow flashed across the mirror.

It was a black creature that looked like a wild cat. It quietly stretched out its claws to explore the outside of the mirror.

After realizing that there was no danger, an evil smile suddenly appeared on that furry face.

It was like a sneaking assassin in the middle of the night, slowly pacing on the floor of the room.

Suddenly, the figure of the young man on the bed broke into its field of vision.

A flash of blood flashed in the black cat's eyes, and it stretched out its tongue and licked its paws.

This reminds me of the old woman who lived here before. She was lying on the bed quietly like this at that time.

Then it jumped up, dug out the man with one claw, and spread blood all over the bed.

The bloodthirsty impulse in the body tempted it to continue moving forward.

Yes, just like this, jump up!

The black cat was so dexterous that it jumped into the air with a slight exertion of its hind legs.

It bared its fangs and planned to deliver a fatal blow to the boy's neck.

But just when it thought it was about to succeed, a stream of water suddenly appeared in the void and turned into a big palm, grabbing it in the palm of its hand.

"riiiii!"

The black cat instantly let out a miserable roar, trying to scare away the presence that suddenly restrained it.

But it's a pity that its sultry behavior can't affect the water elemental power spilling out of the void at all.

Bai Qiyun, who was disturbed by the shouting, slowly woke up from his sleep.

As a new arrival, how could he not take precautions around him, not to mention that someone had just died here.

"It seems that the culprit is you little thing."

Bai Qiyun rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the still gloomy night outside the window, and couldn't help but yawn.

This little guy is really good at timing his sneak attacks. He had to get up in the middle of the night to deal with it.

Bai Qiyun looked at it twice. Although the black cat caught in the void looked like a cat, in fact, the aura exuding from it was the same as the black whale he saw during the day.

"I see, this is the Zero Beast. It doesn't seem to be distinguished by appearance."

Seeing this scene, Bai Qiyun finally understood what the Zero Beast was.

If it's not what he expected, the criterion for distinguishing zero beasts should be the aura of power on the opponent's body, not the appearance.

This was different from any monster he had seen before.

For example, slimes and floating spirits have almost the same source of power to a certain extent, but they are divided into two groups because of their different appearances.

But because these zero beasts have the same origin of power, they are regarded by people today as the same kind of monsters.

"Is it because this power is so harmful?"

Bai Qiyun did not wake up Yandora who was still sleeping. With a slight movement of his fingers, he grabbed the black cat's big hand and brought it to his side.

He leaned down and planned to study this novel monster.

But he never expected that the black cat was so violent that it suddenly swung its claws at him.

"bass!"

But unfortunately, a thin film of water appeared on Bai Qiyun's face, which easily blocked the blow.

This layer of water film is a new ability brought by Yandora after evolving in another world. It can defend itself at any time even in sleep.

Generally speaking, those who do not reach the captain level cannot shake this protective shield at all, just like the black cat at this time.

"Gah!"

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the black cat froze on the spot, like a duck that had been hit head-on.

Bai Qiyun ignored the cat's reaction and concentrated on his fingertips a water blade as big as a fruit knife, and cut it along the cat's claws.

Before the black cat could cry out, the right paw on its body quietly fell down.

But that black forearm turned into a black smoke and disappeared into the air.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun frowned and used his hand to crush the black cat into pieces.

The black cat couldn't resist the sudden huge force, so it could only purr and disappear from this world.

The enemy has been eliminated, but Bai Qiyun's mood has not improved.

At the moment when the monster disappeared, he actually noticed a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time.

Without him, it was precisely because he had been exposed to similar power before.

That's right, it was the sealed troll from Wuwangpo.

No one knows where that troll came from, it seems that it has been standing here since before Liyue was founded.

But if the giant monster and the zero beast come from the same place, then things will become complicated.

Under the weak moonlight, the young man leaned against the window, thinking quietly.

The next day, just after dawn, Keli came to the door and woke up Bai Qiyun who was still sleeping.

"You guys have nothing to do."

"How rude. I am here to help you, Brother Bai, integrate into modern society. I am here to help you enthusiastically."

Keli and Bai Qiyun went to the Pioneer Knights branch in Mondstadt in harmony, intending to accept an outbound commission.

Since you are going to live here for a while, you need to adapt to the rhythm of life here.

"That's it, hunt down two level three zero beasts."

Keli, as the person with the highest status among the two people, easily accepted a commission worth 500,000 Singapore dollars from the receptionist.

"So, where did the classification standard for level three zero beasts come from."

Bai Qiyun followed Keli and asked casually while checking the entrusted information.

The hunting location is near the former Star-Zhaing Cliff. Although it is quite far away from Mondstadt City, the threat to the city will continue to increase as the level of the Zero Beast increases.

Therefore, some scholars put forward a paper called "Self-Defense Planning Line" on this point, planning the safe range and dangerous range of each level of Zero Beast.

Level three zero beasts already have the ability to initially change the terrain. If a monster of this level is allowed to get close to Fengqi Land, the danger will be greatly increased. Therefore, the killing range of level three zero beasts is generally set.

In the area outside the radius from Fengqi Land to Mondstadt.

Although it was a mouthful, Bai Qiyun generally understood the reason why the Pioneer Knights did what they did.

To put it simply, there are not enough manpower, so we can only target the powerful Zero Beasts, while the weak Zero Beasts can only be left alone because there are too many of them.

With yesterday's experience, Bai Qiyun understood that an ordinary Zero Beast could pose a fatal threat to normal adults.

However, there are not that many registered pioneer knights to deal with them, so they can only resort to this strategy.

Distributing commissions based on the enemy's threats is indeed an expedient measure when manpower is limited.

"Ah, you tell me this, you can tell at a glance that the group of scholars who only care about research in the Imperial Academy got the name."

Keli spread her delicate hands and said with helplessness on her face.

"Ranging from level one to level five, according to strength, it is said that the zero beasts at level five have power that can rival those near gods, while the weakest zero beasts at level one can also carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on defenseless humans. In addition,

They are as numerous as ants, and they are the main opponent that gives the Pioneer Knights the most headache."

"A person close to God..."

Bai Qiyun was not surprised by the division of strength among these guys.

According to what Keli said before, Tivat seems to be unable to produce demon-level fighting power now, and even her mother has disappeared.

In other words, in the current world situation where near-gods are capped, if those zero beasts have existences that surpass near-gods, then humans will not be able to maintain the status quo.

And if the Zero Beast is too weak, then humans can directly send out powerful near-gods to directly liberate most of the outside areas, instead of ignoring the land that can be used.

In other words, the current world structure is that the two major forces of humans and zero beasts are restraining each other, and neither one has the ability to eradicate the other.

"Are those guys intelligent? I feel like they are all stupid."

Recalling the stupid and foolish behavior of the black cat last night, Bai Qiyun felt that there seemed to be no difference in intelligence between these things and slimes.
