Original God, but the real world

Chapter 30-No news is worth

If the teleportation anchor points and the game map are taken into consideration, Ying's journey naturally enters skip mode.

But in reality, Ying doesn't have this convenience.

Therefore, a lot of things happen over a prolonged period of time, and the time required is definitely not something that can be resolved from morning to evening in the game.

For example, Ying's cleaning of the Temple of the Four Winds.

In order to test Ying as much as possible, the Knights sent Amber, Kaia and Lisa to conduct investigations.

Amber has a simple personality, but she is warm and friendly, and most people may inadvertently reveal their thoughts to her.

The other two are just more cunning people, and communication and chatting are their weapons.

This is a relatively long job.

The Temple of the Four Winds is not close, and Ying has to run around the land of Mondstadt step by step. There is no shortcut at all.

By the time she finally finished cleaning the Temple of the Four Winds, Qin's investigation of Ying was over.

"According to the information provided by Lisa, this messenger of the God of Wind is not only not from Mond, but not even from Teyvat."

Qin rubbed her brows.

She was receptive to the news because of Kelly's mother, Alice.

Compared to the Seven Gods or the Executor, this one is actually a real BUG.

When Jiang Qing was playing the game before, he once thought that this was an NPC living in the background, just like Vanessa.

No matter how powerfully you describe this kind of person, it will have no impact on the overall situation because she will never appear.

Rather than being a game character, Alice is more like a GM account created by the official for itself, and all unreasonable things can be thrown at her.

Jiang Qing, who was listening, had a calm expression.

It took Ying seven days to clean the three temples, and most of the time was spent on resting and traveling.

In the real world, you must rest and eat on time. Ying may be the protagonist, but the protagonist also needs to eat and sleep.

The efficiency was so fierce that Kaia even joked that "it seemed as if there was a ferocious beast chasing this traveler. She was too anxious."

This is also a matter of course.

During this period, Yingmei had no news about her brother Kong. Her memory of Kong still remained at the moment when Kong was easily killed in an instant five hundred years ago, so of course she was worried and wanted to find clues as soon as possible.

Later, she found out that her brother was living a good life, so she stopped panicking and began to slowly advance the plot and save the world in various ways.

"This is good news." Jiang Qing lowered his eyes. "She is not a Teyvatian, which means that she has no interest involvement with any country in Teyvat."

"And she has been favored by the God of Wind, so Mond can invest in advance."

No matter what, since the God of Wind favors her, it must be because he thinks highly of her, right?

The Knights had no reason to reject someone that even the gods favored.

What's more, this is our own God.

"I have decided to grant him the title of honorary knight. If he is interested, I can grant him a real position in the Knights Templar." Qin let out a breath.

There is nothing to hide.

Cleaning the temple is also considered a merit. Although the Knights themselves can do it, they are the ones who actually do the work.

This achievement was not worthy of an honorary knight, but combined with the credit for repelling the Wind Dragon and the God of Wind standing behind her, it was more than enough.

Jiang Qing could express his own opinion: "The honorary knight is an honorary title, and it can also be used to show goodwill and win over. If the other party is interested, they should consider the Knights' Order."

It's an honorary title, but the status is very high.

This position is already a good starting point. Ying has no real power, but she started at the position of Eula.

If you want to train someone, this position is still very good.

"But we should also consider that if Ying is not interested in power, such a title will not help her much, and she will not remember the Knights' contributions."

Unfortunately, Ying does not need the training of the Knights Templar as she has no desire for power.

A person who travels between worlds must be pursuing more strength than power.

After all, this is a world where demons can open up mountains and seas. If strength can reach this level, power can only be used as an embellishment.

If this is the only kind of help and contribution, you can't expect the other party to care much in the future.

We have just met, so we can't talk about friendship but only exchange of interests.

It's hard for me to do anything if you only give me this little.jpg
"You and Lisa have the same opinion. You both think that the other pursues strength rather than power." Qin was a little surprised. "That's a bit strange, Jiang Qing."

She tilted her head and said, "Lisa is a scholar of the Xumi Order Institute. She has read all the ancient books of the Order Institute and has a deep understanding of power."

"But isn't Liyue very stable? Do you also have such a profound understanding of power?"

Just reading about it is not enough. Without personal experience, most people pursue power over strength.

Because it is very difficult to gain strength, even great knights like Jean and Diluk do not dare to say that their strength can ignore the number of people.

Facing a hundred or eighty Fatui vanguards at the same time, he might not die suddenly, but he would definitely be injured, and possibly seriously injured.

But this number... It is no exaggeration to say that even in Mondstadt, the lady can easily summon several times more advance troops outside the city.

If you enlarge the world and the map, you will see that there are more than just a few groups of Fatui. They will not wander around in the wild at will, and they don't even have a place to live.

But if the situation were the other way around, with Jean's power, even if Winterfell and Mond went to war, ordinary advance troops would have no chance of getting in front of her.

In Mondstadt, she is the true king of this city-state.

For human beings, pursuing power is actually very difficult, but it is always easier than pursuing strength.

In the past thousand years, not many people have ascended to the throne of God in Teyvat, and there is only one Vanessa in Mond.

If one wants to ignore the human wave tactics and rise above the ordinary among mortals, one should at least have the power of [Lady] Rosalyn or Alice.

Maybe Diluk, who has opened both the Evil Eye and the Eye of God at the same time, would have a chance, but Qin certainly can't do it.

To achieve this level is much more difficult than becoming a group leader.

That's why Qin thought Jiang Qing's cognition was very strange.

He actually thinks strength is more useful than power.

Jiang Qing looked calm: "Maybe it's because of what happened to Inazuma."

Qin: ···
"Well... I don't know what happened to you in Inazuma, so I won't say anything." Qin blinked, "But if my words offended you, I am willing to apologize for it."

It has nothing to do with your identity. If you do something wrong, you should apologize.

Qin's idea is simple.

"It's okay." Jiang Qing waved his hands repeatedly, "It's normal that the captain doesn't know, but there's something wrong with Inazuma."

"There are too many warriors in the wild in that area. These people do not work and do not have proper jobs. If they want to survive, they can only rely on the 'support' of passing merchants and ordinary people."

"The shogunate is arresting foreigners again... This place is so weird."

Of course something is wrong. Even Madsan Fengxing is a traitor!

The three people with the highest power in the shogunate betrayed Inazuma. It would be strange if this damn place could be normal.

This experience and background are really useful.

Jiang Qing’s thoughts are also very simple.

So far, apart from leaving him with debt, this unfortunate experience from Inazuma has been mostly helpful.

Because he is so inexperienced, it is difficult for most people to be on guard against him based on this kind of experience, and most people are willing to trust him after a brief observation.

Ying relies on the background of Fengshen, while Su Ming relies on his own incompetence.

If you are not good enough, you will not pose a threat. If you do not pose any threat, you will be easily trusted.

Jiang Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with his cooking.

Ordinary Fatui rely on the Evil Eye + militarized training + very expensive alchemical weapons, executives generally rely on God's gift + hundreds of years of life as a foundation, and the Knights rely on God's Eye + talent + hard training.

He doesn't have any of them, and his cheat code is for level settlement. How can he not be bad?
Qin pursed her lips.

Seriously speaking, she believed Su Ming, but she would not easily judge another country's policies - although she also felt that the isolation order was not right.

But this is the oracle of General Thunder.

The so-called oracle is something that must be respected even if it is mentioned in public by the ruler of another country across the ocean.

Of course you have the freedom to comment, and it is impossible for the God of Thunder to come across the sea and kill you with one strike.

But out of respect for the gods, why should this be necessary?

Gods have their own thoughts and considerations, which are difficult for mortals to understand.

So far, the only people who have such thoughts are the people of Xumi.

They can even imprison their own gods, so who would care what other people's gods think?

"I have other progress regarding Ying." Qin returned to the topic, "Lisa said she might not like the position of Grand Leader. You said the same thing... I have other preparations as well."

Since it is an investment, of course you should give the other party what they need, not what you have.

This way others have no reason to remember your kindness.

Jiang Qing listened attentively.

Qin could find any information about Kong Ge? He didn't quite believe it.

"In the past five hundred years, there is no information about her brother, Kong." Qin said simply, "I can only give this to him as a gift."

She had asked someone to look through all the files, but there was no record of a foreigner who looked like Ying.

Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "You mean, since Mond has no way of finding relevant files in the 500-year-old records, then other countries are unlikely to be able to do so either."

"This is useful information. If she values ​​her brother enough, it can indeed be used as an investment."

No news does not mean no value.

Mondstadt is one of the seven kingdoms, and perhaps it is indeed a bit weak from now on.

But in fact, Mondstadt is quite stable, except that Falgar's expedition directly drained Mondstadt's backbone.

Essentially, before the expedition, Mondstadt was still an upper-middle-class country among the Seven Kingdoms.

This is why [the lady] held back.

Mond appears to have become weaker, but in fact its strength is just dispersed. It is not weak enough to be bullied at will.

If Mond can't find any records, Ying doesn't have to do any related transactions with anyone because they won't be able to find them either.

That's where the value lies.

After Ying solved Liyue's troubles, he asked Qixing for something.

She asked Qixing to post a missing person notice about Kong.

Objectively speaking, this request is stupid. Maybe Ying just tried it casually without holding out much hope.

Five hundred years ago - Ying didn't know it was this time at the time. She and Kong were stopped by someone, and then both were killed instantly, and Kong was also captured.

If she hadn't tried it casually, Jiang Qing would have doubted whether Ying's mental state was normal at the time.

What use is there in this situation?
Being captured by an enemy of that level, Brother Kong must have either died or been sealed - of course, no one knows how he ended up in the abyss becoming the boss, so it's very difficult for mortals to find his whereabouts.

This was later confirmed. She fought with the general and quelled the chaos in Xumi, but she didn't see any use for the missing person notices. It was a certain spoiler hero, Dain, who gave her the most direct evidence and help.

The value of this news lies in that Qin directly eliminated a group of possible answers for Ying.

From now on, she only needs to look for history more than 500 years ago, and preferably in the hands of non-human life forms.

It is impossible for ordinary people to record history going back five hundred years.

Qin eliminated most of the information that would not be valuable, and that is where the value of her information lies.

Jiang Qing nodded silently.

That is the piano.

It would be credible for her to say such things given her identity. If someone just showed up and said that you don't have to look around because they can't help you, no one would believe it.

But Qin can.

"If we use this as a bargaining chip, it is indeed feasible." Jiang Qing said, "But we have to do it as soon as possible."

The deal should be finalized as soon as possible. Now that the chips have been calculated, it is natural to convert them into real benefits.

"Lisa has already rushed back with the other party." Qin looked relaxed, "How about coming with me to greet our honorary knight of Mond?"

"It's my honor." Jiang Qing did not refuse.

He had no intention of becoming a Mondsman yet, but if the boss invited him, he would not refuse.

"The next step is to wait," Jiang Qing said, "wait for Liyue's action, and then we follow Ying's line to quickly resolve the dragon disaster."

These are things that cannot be rushed.

Arrangements need to be made on Liyue's side, and no matter how Jiang Qing thinks about it, he doesn't think the person Qin finds will be very dedicated.

Just do your best and there is no need to go to war for this.

Helping others doesn’t mean you should really treat it as your own business.

As for Mond... Jiang Qing was tidying up the documents on the table while glancing at Qin who was taking a rest after the closing ceremony.

The situation in Mond is even worse.

What he said was that he would follow Ying and solve the dragon disaster under the guidance of the God of Wind.

Qin certainly thought so too.

How could Keqin have guessed that the wise and kind wind god in Mondstadt's history could be so out of touch?

When Barbatos wanted to use the [Sky Harp], the first thing he thought of was to steal it, rather than to notify Harp.

With Qin's reputation, she could of course take the [Sky Harp] directly, but Wendy chose to trick Ying into stealing it.

Obviously, [Sky Harp] is not the key, the key is still Ying.

"what happened?"

Qin didn't open her eyes.

Jiang Qing's gaze was not dirty. He was looking at Qin's cheek, so the other party did not have any special reaction.

But he stayed a little too long.

"Nothing." Jiang Qing said, "I'm just worried whether everything will really go so smoothly."

Qin didn't comment and didn't answer.
