Genshin Impact: Joining the Genius Society

Chapter 347: Serval: “Boss, You’re a Wanted Criminal Too?”

"She must have quite the bounty on her head, right?"After glancing at Kafka, Serval covered her mouth and leaned close to Su Ran's ear to whisper.

The Xianzhou looked incredibly wealthy.

So the bounty on one of their wanted criminals definitely wouldn't be small.

"Just her Interastral Peace Corporation bounty alone is already over 10.8 billion credits."

It was only because Su Ran had little interest in money that he hadn't seriously considered turning Kafka in for the reward.

That amount of money was enough for someone to live extravagantly across the cosmos for several lifetimes.

"That sounds like a lot."

Serval's eyes instantly began shining.

Anything measured in the hundreds of millions had to be valuable.

At this moment, the way she looked at Kafka resembled someone staring at a walking treasure chest.

"Actually, there's potential here."

"I could turn Kafka in once, rescue her afterward, then turn her in again."

"That way we collect the bounty twice."

Serval immediately gave him a thumbs-up.

"You really know how to do business, Boss!"

The Tsaritsa, sitting across from Kafka, developed a dark expression.

The woman before them clearly radiated a dangerous aura.

In terms of strength, she was undoubtedly no weaker than the Tsaritsa herself.

Since she could hear the whispering—

Then Kafka definitely could too.

Discussing such things so openly…

Was that really appropriate?

"My dear," Kafka smiled gently,

"next time you whisper secrets, maybe stand a little farther away."

"Otherwise, hearing it myself would make me very sad."

Kafka appeared completely unconcerned by their "scheme."

Because she firmly believed Su Ran would never actually make a move against her.

Otherwise, her bounty would never have remained hanging there this whole time.

And as a Genius Society member—

If Su Ran ever truly needed money, the IPC would practically kneel and hand it over voluntarily.

Not to mention Asta had already spent absurd amounts on him.

Perhaps not yet equal to Kafka's bounty.

But give it a few more rounds, and she'd probably outspend the combined bounties of the entire Stellaron Hunters.

"But if we secretly discussed it behind your back," Su Ran replied calmly,

"wouldn't that make you even sadder once you found out?"

By now, he more or less understood what kind of person Kafka was.

She said she'd be sad—

But deep down she probably didn't care at all.

Because even if she were captured, she was confident she could escape.

That confidence wasn't only in her own abilities.

It was also complete faith in Elio.

Of course, Kafka also firmly believed she'd never truly end up in IPC custody for a simple reason—

She had already been "given" to Su Ran during their previous meeting.

So she didn't believe he'd obediently hand her over for bounty money.

After all, he didn't lack money in the slightest.

If he ever needed any, couldn't he simply ask Herta?

Herta was practically his biggest supporter.

And Herta also had Asta's bottomless wallet backing her.

There was simply no reason for Su Ran to be short on funds.

"How about this?" Kafka proposed lazily.

"We each take a step back."

"You don't turn me in."

"And I'll give you Elio's address so you can collect his bounty instead."

"You really know how to play."

Even joking about Elio like this…

Elio's bounty was probably more than ten times the combined bounty of every other Stellaron Hunter.

After all, he truly possessed the ability to foresee the future.

No wonder the IPC specifically requested Elio alive, while the others were dead-or-alive targets.

Of course, the other girls present had no idea who Elio even was.

All three were essentially cosmic country bumpkins.

"That Elio guy is worth that much?" Serval asked curiously.

"At minimum? Probably over thirty times Kafka's bounty."

Serval was shocked all over again.

That much?!

But exactly how much was that worth in practical terms?

Even the Tsaritsa became curious.

"If you exclude elemental powers and all the weird supernatural stuff," Su Ran said casually,

"it'd be enough to buy over three hundred Teyvats."

The Tsaritsa: "!!!"

He was worth that much?!

At first she hadn't really cared.

But now—

She was genuinely tempted.

Ever since learning that entire worlds could be bought and sold as commodities in the universe—

The concept had already shaken her worldview.

But now she heard that Elio's bounty could buy three hundred ordinary Teyvats?

That was absurd wealth.

Teyvat wasn't just Snezhnaya alone.

It included six other nations.

And far more than just frozen snowfields.

Even she couldn't help feeling tempted hearing such a figure.

"Hmm? Both of you seem interested."

Kafka smiled faintly.

"Then why not consider turning him over to the IPC instead?"

"I'm certain the price they'd offer for him would make Elio's bounty look insignificant."

Kafka knew very well just how terrifying Su Ran truly was.

A person even Elio couldn't see the future of.

More importantly—

Su Ran himself seemed to possess predictive abilities similar to Elio's.

He was practically a fully upgraded version of Elio.

Terrifying inventions.

Emanator-level strength.

Future sight.

His value likely surpassed the entire Stellaron Hunters combined.

Especially considering he had revived and controlled an Emanator of Propagation.

Obtaining him was basically equivalent to obtaining two Emanators.

Not to mention his relationship with Herta.

That effectively made three Emanators.

"You're wanted too?" the Tsaritsa asked in surprise.

"Is what she said true, Boss?" Serval also looked stunned.

"So you're a wanted criminal too?"

No wonder there was another wanted criminal hiding in the room.

Kafka froze briefly at their interpretation skills.

Then quickly regained her composure and simply smiled without explaining.

"How is that possible?"

"The IPC would sooner cling to my pant legs begging for cooperation."

At least for now—

As long as Su Ran showed no hostility toward the IPC, they'd do everything possible to court him.

"Is that really not exaggerated?" the Tsaritsa asked skeptically.

The IPC sounded incredibly powerful.

Even the Xianzhou treated them seriously.

"Honestly… it might not be exaggerated?"

Serval, having personally witnessed Belobog's transformation, didn't find the claim particularly unbelievable.

"However…"

Knock knock knock.

"Mister Su Ran, are you inside?"

Jing Yuan's voice sounded from outside the door.
