Since the wooden stake could be destroyed even in this mode, the subsequent modes would be even more powerful. Wouldn't the wooden stake be unable to properly showcase the true power of the charging pistol?
After a moment of thought, Arkz waved his hand.
He summoned a Geo wall using his Geo Elemental Power.
Then he turned to look at Diluc and said:
"This is truly troublesome, Master Diluc. Please try this out."
"Mm, the recording of the experimental data will be troublesome... Sister Lisa."
"I still have things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Saying that, Arkz tossed the notebook used for recording experimental data to Lisa and prepared to swagger away through the crowd of onlookers.
Seeing the notebook thrown towards her, Lisa subconsciously caught it.
Hearing Arkz hand this troublesome task over to her, Lisa was instantly speechless.
"My dear Junior Schoolmate, oh~~"
"Are you really just going to leave? Not staying longer with your beautiful, generous, gentle, and considerate Senior Sister Lisa?"
Lisa looked at Arkz and spoke languidly.
Her pair of beautiful eyes conveyed seductive charm. If Arkz didn't know Lisa well, he might actually start daydreaming like a pure young man, his face flushing and heart pounding.
Thinking that this voluptuous and charming sorceress in front of him was interested in him.
"Haha, the capable should work harder, right?"
"I'm just putting my trust in you, Senior Sister."
After speaking, Arkz left without waiting for Lisa's reaction or looking back.
Acting Grand Master Jean and Diluc watched the direction Arkz left, and they looked at each other in dismay.
The test wasn't even finished, and the contract hadn't been signed yet. Why did the main person just leave?
Just as everyone was at a loss, Lisa stepped forward.
Holding the notebook, she assumed the air of a hostess and announced:
"Everyone, the testing continues, oh~~"
"I will record all the subsequent cooperation matters and the improvements needed for the elemental weapon, and pass them on to Junior Schoolmate Arkz."
Diluc heard this and nodded.
Although he desperately wanted to sign the contract with Arkz immediately, it was currently a seller's market, and the initiative was entirely in Arkz's hands.
In this cooperation, Arkz's status as the inventor was irreplaceable.
However, the other two parties in the cooperation, whether it was his Dawn Winery or the Knights of Favonius, were not irreplaceable.
Therefore, both Acting Grand Master Jean and Diluc had to appease Arkz right now.
Acting Grand Master Jean and Diluc exchanged a glance, reaching a tacit understanding.
After all, both of them were from Mondstadt. No matter how much they competed, the spoils would still remain within Mondstadt.
But if their rivalry caused Arkz to become disgusted and seek cooperation partners elsewhere, they would become Sinners for causing Mondstadt to miss out on this development opportunity.
Lisa, at this moment, had discarded her usual indolence. Her eyes, usually half-closed, were wide open, making her look extremely spirited.
Seeing Lisa so motivated was a rare sight.
"Master Diluc, are you ready? It's time to start the experiment."
Lisa furiously scribbled notes while recording the power of the charging pistol, all the while silently complaining about Arkz in her heart.
"Sigh~~"
"This Junior Schoolmate Arkz is truly not cute."
"He knows I need something from him and can't easily refuse his requests, yet he just dumped this troublesome job onto me."
"If he dares make me work for him today, tomorrow he'll dare to ask me to..."
As she thought of this, a suspicious blush appeared on Lisa's face.
Compared to her best friend, Acting Grand Master Jean, who secretly read romance novels, Lisa always put on the air of a seasoned flirt.
She seemed to possess extensive knowledge about romance.
However, as the Traveler, who didn't know that Sister Lisa had rich theoretical knowledge but zero practical experience?
She talked a big game, but when it came to practical application, she always begged for mercy.
Under Lisa's recording and direction, the testing of the charging pistol was quickly completed.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the surrounding crowd of onlookers dispersed.
Only Xing remained standing there, grinning foolishly.
Seeing Diluc, Xing couldn't help but recall an acquaintance of hers.
Diluc = Hidden Himeko.
Confirmed.
Lisa = Hidden Kafka.
If Xing hadn't vaguely sensed that Lisa was not to be trifled with, she definitely would have rushed forward to hug Sister Lisa's thigh.
Why hug Sister Lisa's thigh?
Of course, it's because she is a woman who could become my mother.

Testing concluded.
Lisa, Jean, and Diluc gathered together.
"Are there any areas that need improvement for these elemental weapons?"
"The size of the shield ring needs adjustment. It would be best to make it an adjustable style."
"Regarding the energy issue of the charging pistol, the electro crystal still needs further processing before use. Without energy, the charging pistol cannot be used."
"Mm... Mm, mm..."
The three spoke one after another, very efficiently recording the necessary precautions and required improvements for the two elemental weapons.
Afterward, the three exchanged glances and remained silent for a moment.
Finally, Jean spoke first:
"Regarding the cooperation matters, it's best to finalize them quickly."
Diluc crossed his arms and said:
"Whether it's the division of benefits and responsibilities, or the construction of the subsequent production line, none of these can be completed in a short time."
"We should make plans early."
Jean lowered her head in thought for a moment and said:
"The sooner, the better for Mondstadt. Delay breeds change. Let's go find Mr. Arkz right now."
Lisa flipped through the notebook in her hands. The experimental content recorded in the notebook had clear and elegant handwriting, and the format was neat and grand, making it exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
After confirming several times that the content she recorded had not been leaked, Lisa closed the notebook.
She asked:
"Then, do you know where Junior Schoolmate Arkz is right now?"
Diluc: "This..."
Acting Grand Master Jean: "This..."
The three were not familiar with the interior of Springvale Farm, and barging in would be too impolite. It would be best to find a guide from within the farm to help them locate Arkz.
Thus, the three of them simultaneously looked towards Xing, who was standing on the side watching the show.
Xing, who was happily grinning, saw the three of them looking at her at the same time.
She looked back with great bravery.
Facing three times her gaze, she did not lose ground in the slightest.
Seeing Xing whose eyes were filled with clear foolishness, Lisa said helplessly:
"This little cutie, can I ask you to take the older sisters to find Junior Schoolmate Arkz?"
"Oh ho!"
"Little cutie!"
Xing felt her heart being struck by Cupid's arrow of love.
"She called me little cutie, she has feelings for me!"
Xing nodded dazedly.
Seeing Xing's foolish appearance, the three couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
Indeed, this child is beyond saving.
Even if cured, she'd still be drooling.
