Original God, but the real world

Chapter 24-24-The Usefulness of Identity Opening

No one's help and favor comes for no reason.

Jyn's appreciation for Eula is focused on the fact that she, although a Lawrence, chose to contribute to Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius.

In addition, she is young and talented, and at this age she is able to withstand heavy pressure and become the leader of a guerrilla squad.

It is true that in this world, human wave tactics can still be effective against ordinary [Genshin], but this does not erase the value of Eula.

Considering these factors, Qin is very optimistic about Eula.

Even though she was in Lawrence's vortex, Jean still wanted to save Eula.

But this is not without cost, and not without reason.

Jiang Qing hopes Eula understands this.

Jyn may be kind and sincere as an individual, but as acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, she must put Mondstadt's interests first.

What determines a person's attitude and choices is often her butt.

If Eula doesn't understand, she will lose Qin's respect.

In this Mond, for a Lawrence person who has lost Qin's favor, it is self-evident what kind of ending and choices she will have.

"You can't be angry. Every time you get angry, you're wasting Qin's favor."

"You have a threshold in Qin's heart. Before this threshold, she will feel ashamed of her previous vigilance against you and will give you more trust."

"But once you exceed this threshold, you will be regarded as a traitor and an enemy by Qin."

If Eula, who bears the surname Lawrence, is regarded as a traitor and an enemy, then she will really have no chance of turning things around.

Jean will feel that all her previous trust has been wasted, and with her sense of responsibility towards Mondstadt, she will be eager to deal with Eula herself.

Jiang Qing's tone was always calm: "Don't waste your chance, you don't have many chips."

Eula took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Jiang Qing doesn't have many chips in his hand, but he doesn't have Lawrence's dangerous surname, so he has more room than Eula in this matter.

To some extent, we are all unlucky people walking in dangerous situations, so we should not waste any opportunity.

Eula is angry.

But her anger only destroyed her opportunities, not solved the problem.

Anger is the smallest investment in solving problems, unless "people have different physical constitutions, and I can be extremely angry..."

But this is a talent reserved for the protagonist. Eula is the protagonist of her own life story, but not the protagonist of this world.

"I'm sorry." Eula took a deep breath, "I just...Jin said that you have a special ability that can make people open up to each other without knowing it."

She suddenly realized something and her eyes turned cold.

"You won't use this method on me, will you? We have just reached a cooperative relationship."

It is a big taboo to talk about deep things with someone you just met.

It's not surprising that Jiang Qing has to be honest about his thoughts since he needs help from others.

But not Eula.

She knows what she should do and what kind of responsibilities and pressures she bears.

Communicating so seriously with a strange Liyue merchant, and even revealing his pent-up dissatisfaction over the years... This is not normal.

This is not the first time that Eula has been bullied by the Mond people.

This has been the attitude of the people of Mondstadt since she began walking on the land of Lawrence.

She has been able to endure until today only because of her inner persistence.

Eula wants to save Lawrence, and these struggles are her only way.

Although it is difficult to live for something, it is not impossible.

She has maintained a stable mentality over the years, and even Amber doesn't know the resentment in her heart.

But just now, she told Jiang Qing about it and was even warned by Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing took the time to glance at the screen to confirm that his talents and expertise were not activated.

It was just that the skill called [Conversation] was shining brightly, as if something had changed.

He glanced at her briefly, then looked at Eula with a normal expression.

"No." He said simply and decisively, "It's not necessary."

Of all the reasons, the most convincing one is that it cannot be done, followed by that it is unnecessary.

As for the other reasons, they are useful, but not as reassuring as these two.

"Cooperating with you is an adventure. It is far less safe than communicating with Captain Qin." Jiang Qing remained calm. "I will not take another risk in a risky place."

"Even Miss Sister Gottlinde can see my abilities, so why would I risk using them on you?"

Although Jiang Qing also confirmed that this matter might be related to the change of [Expertise] in his panel, he obviously would not admit it.

"You just lack someone who agrees with you."

He lied with his eyes open.

"You are very resolute on this path."

"First he betrayed his family, then he joined the Knights of Favonius, who were hostile to him."

"You won't tell these things to anyone along the way. Because they are all stakeholders and may reveal your thoughts and ideas at any time."

"But that doesn't mean you don't have the desire to talk and relieve stress."

Jiang Qing spoke more and more seriously, as if it were true.

"you are tired."

It's not as if, it's just like that.

Jiang Qing himself believed his description.

The reason why Eula told him this was because she had been holding these words in for many years.

She couldn't tell her family members because she was now a traitor to Lawrence.

She couldn't tell Amber because her attitude wasn't friendly enough to Mond.

Amber might not betray her, but given Amber's identity and status, knowing this would do her no good except to cause herself trouble.

Everything weighed on Eula's heart.

Eula continued to move forward under the heavy pressure, looking as if nothing had happened, but in fact, suffering was still brewing in the girl's heart.

Jiang Qing happened to be in this situation and caught this opportunity.

He was an outsider, and he needed help from Eula, so he took the initiative to seek cooperation.

"Is that so?" Eula was a little confused.

She pinched her eyebrows, and the expression on her face softened for a moment.

I... suddenly want to confide in a stranger?

No, it wasn’t sudden. In fact, I had this idea for a long time, but I just couldn’t find the right person.

Sounds reasonable.

"Well... this is exactly what happened to me in Mond."

Eula began to believe it.

She had endured this damn place, Mondstadt, for so many years. It was impossible for her to say that she had no dissatisfaction in her heart.

She had seen many Knights of Favonius in the Knights Templar. They were obviously useless and yet they received more cheers and respect than her.

She also met many Mond people in the wild. Some of them asked to pick apples, some asked to deliver letters, and some hid in their arms to defend themselves when they saw monsters... When they saw Eula, they would order her to help.

Please, I am the Wave Knight, and my responsibility is to roam the wilderness and kill monsters in the wild!

It's already a relief that I didn't ask you for supplies for such a dangerous and troublesome job, but you actually want me to help you in return?
It was an order, not a request, and there was no reward - the Knight of Favonius had an obligation to help the people of Mond, not to mention that she was a Lawrence person.

Even a clay figure has temper, let alone a genius like Eula who became famous at a young age.

She endured humiliation for the sake of her family, but she is not a Ninja Turtle!

The girl tilted her head and murmured softly, "Yes, that should be the case."

After she came to her senses, her eyes blinked slightly, and her eyes were as bright as autumn water.

Jiang Qing immediately stated: "You can trust me."

"You see, I'm a wimp, I don't have any strength at all." The identity of a weak person also has value, Jiang Qing never minds this, "I want to get the support of Qin and you, you want to settle the conflict, if I can help you solve Lawrence's problem, Qin will trust me more."

Moreover, if the expertise and talent were such that they could become even more powerful by using it, just in the plan, he would be able to get a good reward.

One person solved Mond's problem without applying for any resources.

Eula said to herself that if she were Qin, she would also favor such a subordinate.

What's more, Jiang Qing has never concealed his attitude.

He came just to gain Jean's support, and then use the status and funds of the Knights of Favonius to do his own things.

Everyone would choose to trust someone who has a clear and honest purpose, is talented but lacks the ability to protect himself.

Eula's gaze became much gentler.

Jiang Qing is further gaining recognition and trust from Youla.

His methods were almost the same old-fashioned ones, including showing weakness and sincerity.

The former makes people feel at ease, while the latter makes people trust.

This method is not outstanding, but it works well most of the time.

This is especially true when you have no feelings for them personally.

This rubbish identity at the beginning, after all, has some value.

···
into the night.

Jiang Qing returned to the room with a somewhat happy look on his face.

It was difficult for him to control his calm attitude because as far as the result was concerned, he had perfectly completed the intended plan.

Even if this is just a start.

"Calm down." Jiang Qing took a deep breath, "This is just the beginning."

All that remains is to wait for the actions of the Fatui.

When they started to move, Jiang Qing was able to counter their moves and continue moving forward.

Jiang Qing sat upright on the edge of the bed and looked up at the night sky outside the window.

“It’s not a good idea to take the initiative.”

"The current level of the Knights of Favonius is limited. There is really no way to force them to act tough with the Fatui."

Qin had no way to go against objective facts.

Given Mondstadt's current strength, the Fatui were polite and did not take action because Mondstadt is still one of the Seven Kingdoms, has a god behind it, and Falgar is not dead.

Although their goal is the Heart of the God of Wind, they always have to consider diplomatic issues before implementing their plans.

It's not that he cares about the reputation of Mondstadt or Winter Solstice, but he is worried that if they fall out, he will be forcibly driven out of Mondstadt by the Knights of Favonius.

Once they were driven out by the Knights before their plan could be implemented, any action they wanted to take would be directly against Mond's face.

The result will be much more troublesome then.

The best scenario would be to take away the Heart of God without affecting the diplomacy between Mondstadt and Solstice.

This way, we won't cause trouble to Zhidong and we can realize our plan.

The situation is different in reverse.

Mond wants to be rude to the Fatui... Sorry, that's really impossible.

Jiang Qing was not discouraged.

No matter how bad Mond was, he couldn't despise him.

Since the conditions are like this, we can only continue like this for the time being.

“Although I don’t quite understand why the Lady wants to steal the Sky Harp, but since she has taken action, this is still a good starting point.”

Jiang Qing whispered softly.

In his eyes, the starry sky was like a huge chessboard. He knew how his opponent would make his moves, so he would fight back based on his opponent's reaction.

"Because we are the weaker party, we must collect evidence of the other party's crimes before we can drive them out of Mondstadt."

"Fortunately, Mondstadt is one of the Seven Kingdoms after all. Zhidong must respect Mondstadt's attitude."

Peace and negotiations always take place when the power is relatively equal. Although Mondstadt is weak, it is still one of the seven countries that can sit on the high ground.

Based on this alone, [Madam] has to weigh a lot of things in her actions.

"If everything goes well, one of the Fatui's counselors will speak harshly to Jean."

"Diplomacy is the place where one can best reflect the other party's attitude. For a counselor to dare to do this shows that [Madam] does not take Mond seriously."

"But even so, Zhidong still has to respect Mond."

This is the difference between organs of violence and state power.

[Lady] You can despise Mondstadt from the perspective of strength, but not from Winter.

Before he can destroy Mondstadt and occupy its land, Zhidong must consider whether to break up with Mondstadt completely.

The cost of falling out with a country and severing diplomatic and trade relations is too high.

"[Lady] can be dissatisfied, but she cannot be without concerns."

Jiang Qing's smile became increasingly faint, as he had already seen the other party's problem.

"The less the enemy wants, the more I should promote it."

"The Fatui and Solstice do not want to fall out with Mondstadt. They want the Heart of God, but they do not want to lose Mondstadt's market."

"Then I should find evidence of this and kick the Fatui out before they take action."

So the next plan is to collect evidence.

Jiang Qing let out a long sigh, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Now that the next course of action has been confirmed repeatedly, just proceed according to the plan.

Before falling asleep, Jiang Qing summoned out his system again.

When talking with Eula, something seemed to have changed.

[Tip: After using it many times and achieving results, your specialty [Conversation] has been upgraded to LV2]

【Depending on the purpose, it will be easier for you to form a first impression in the other person's mind】

[If there is no communication link, positive impressions such as gentleness and friendliness will be automatically formed]

【First meeting only】

Jiang Qing blinked.

Is this considered... a first kill?

The first impression is still crucial.

In many cases, this basically means you can go straight into the elimination round.

So, my purpose at that time was to gain Eula's trust.

So what kind of impression did I create in Eula's mind?
