Original God, but the real world

Chapter 74 73-Turbulence
In the next few days, Jiang Qing made no progress.

Walnut, who was waiting, couldn't help herself.

In the past, she traveled to various places in Liyue, mostly going back and forth at Wuwangpo, and rarely stayed in Liyue Harbor.

If she hadn't "coveted" the [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis], she should have left Liyue Harbor long ago.

Even so, she was still worried.

However, [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis] was of great significance to her. If she had not been in Liyue Harbor before and was busy with her current affairs, she would have forgotten about it. But since she was here, she definitely did not want to miss this opportunity.

Even if Zhongli was the presiding officer, she could only serve as his deputy. This was also an opportunity worthy of being recorded in the history of the Wangsheng Hall.

If money and power cannot move people's hearts, then fame can come into play.

Even a strange girl like Hu Tao, who had no taboos and dared to promote the business of the Hall of Rebirth in the Adventurer's Association, had to calm down and think about this matter at this moment.

I have to consider if this is my only chance in this life.jpg
Jiang Qing was not so anxious.

He knew what he wanted, so he was able to hold back.

Divine Favor - Looking through all the ancient books of Liyue, it seems that the Emperor has never done such a thing.

He has immortals following him, and he can fight incredibly well, so what's the point of bestowing divine favor on one person?
If you want to blaze a new trail where there is no precedent, you definitely need a little patience.

Zhongli also returned from Tartaglia.

After several days of hospitality, no one knew how much the two men had traded.

Anyway, Tartaglia definitely doesn't feel like he's at a disadvantage.

He is willing to buy a pair of chopsticks for 120,000 yuan, but of course it’s not that he has such a demand for these things.

It's just a transaction in which Zhongli takes care of other people's business, and Tartaglia provides Mora to satisfy Zhongli's desire to take care of others and his own desires.

After being away for several days this time, both of them must have benefited a lot.

Unfortunately, it was not Zhongli's return that caused the ceremony of sending off the immortals to begin.

"Old antique," Hu Tao clung to Zhongli, "When can the ceremony of sending off the immortals begin?"

She blinked her eyes. "Even if we can't start the ceremony, at least we should prepare in advance, right? Tell me what you need. Even if I can't do it, can Qixing not do it?"

Hu Tao was not just bored, he also really wanted to collect and buy them in advance.

Some things can be bought at Mora, but some things depend on the right time and place. If you don’t seize the time, you may miss them and they will be gone forever.

It’s always a good idea to prepare in advance.

Jiang Qing covered his face with the book to hide his smile.

Of course, Walnut was not wrong, but she had misjudged the person.

If it was just for the purpose of delivering the immortal ceremony, with the ability of the Seven Stars, all needs should be handled within a day.

But Ningguang chose Yingmei before, and now that Yingmei hasn't come back, she naturally won't be anxious.

She needed to wait for the reaction of the immortal Ying before she could move forward with the next plan.

The death of anyone, even a god like Morax.

From the moment He was declared dead, His remains and His funeral were nothing more than a tool to comfort people.

Because from this moment on, He no longer has the power to influence the world. What is influencing the world is His legacy.

And these legacies can be fought for.

His wealth, His scepter, His followers, His friends...but not Him.

People are about to step onto the stage to claim His legacy.

To put it bluntly, a funeral is actually a big stage.

Some people mourn sincerely, while others appreciate everything about the deceased.

The Seven Stars must still have some respect for the God of Rock, but if they said that they were all mourning and had no selfish motives at all... Jiang Qing didn't believe it.

As for Zhongli, it’s actually simpler.

Only with Yingmei's presence, this ceremony of sending off the immortals will be necessary.

There is a saying in my hometown, which may be appropriate here.

First someone needs it, then there is this position.

Jiang Qing didn't know how much Zhongli was looking forward to the Immortal Sending Ceremony, but at least judging from the result, he was not looking forward to the Immortal Sending Ceremony without Ying.

If you really need to get things done, can't you get it done now?

There is nothing irreplaceable in the work that Ying has to do.

If the dragon disaster still needs her to purify the poisonous blood, then what about the immortal ceremony?
To buy things, anyone can sell them as long as they have money.

The instruments were handled by professional craftsmen, and the ceremony was presided over by Zhongli himself.

The [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis] that was "enjoying" the ceremony was quietly moved at this moment, but it was still in Liyue Harbor.

Everything is available.

What does Ying need to do?
She is a witness, and she is the only one who can witness this incident.

But Hu Tao didn't know about this, and Qixing couldn't know it either.

In fact, they didn't understand why Zhongli temporarily postponed this matter.

The ceremony of sending off the immortals cannot be separated from the glow of fire.

Maybe Kong Ge left a deep impression on the old man when he wandered around Teyvat five hundred years ago, so he favors Ying Mei.

Young Master wants to know the location of [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis], Ying wants to give an explanation to both the Immortal Seven Stars, but what does Zhongli want?

Finding Yingxian is not a job that can be done in a day or two. The old man waited for such a long time without making any preparations, just to wait for her to come back, which shows what he is thinking.

In the end, Ying heard that Qixing was not cooperating with the work, so Zhongli went to find Tartaglia...
His mind was so firm that how could a few words from Walnut shake his heart?

The only person who can open the curtain is Ying, no one else can.

Jiang Qing closed his eyes and prepared to rest, looking relaxed.

Zhongli certainly had his own arguments, and Hu Tao returned empty-handed in the end.

This was not her first attempt, nor was it her first failure.

Hu Tao is the head of Wangsheng Hall. When she looked at this matter first, she first looked at Wangsheng Hall and then at herself, and she had no reason to refuse.

But Zhongli is different... What can he expect from his own funeral?
Of course, we will delay it as much as possible.

The old man had practiced very well in this area. Every time Hu Tao came over excitedly to ask, he could only leave with a helpless look on his face.

This casual practice lasted for several days until Hu Tao quietly approached Jiang Qing one day.

"Let's go out and play."

The girl blinked her eyes, and her words almost made Jiang Qing throw the tea bowl beside him away.

"Huh... who asked you?" Jiang Qing was surprised for a moment, but soon realized, "What else is there to do in Liyue Harbor right now?"

"Didn't you want to find Chongyun and the others at first?" Hu Tao touched the tip of her nose and smiled brightly, "I'll take you to find them."

Jiang Qing’s first reaction was that Keqing had taken action.

"Okay." Jiang Qing smiled, "I also want to see the future of these Liyue people."

This is not a lie.

The number of Genshin Impacts that possess the Eye of God is actually not as rare as in the game, and the fact that they can be included in the card pool means that they are relatively special.

Among the mortals, whether in terms of strength or something else, Xingqiu, Chongyun and Yunjin Hutao can all be regarded as the future of Liyue Harbor.

Either they possess powerful powers themselves, or they have relatively outstanding talents - so does Xiao Gong's ability to make fireworks count?
A captain who can impress an armed fleet like Beidou with fireworks and people is something.

"The future~~" Hu Tao stretched out her tone, "Who knows what the future of Liyue will be like? Don't flatter them."

"Thank you very much..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't call me teacher anymore." Hu Tao put her hands together and begged for mercy. "Please, please, I was wrong in the beginning."

She really couldn't adapt to Jiang Qing's serious attitude that always treated her as a teacher.

Jiang Qing shrugged and said no more.

He roughly knew what Kurumi wanted to do, but he couldn't quite understand why she did it.

Kurumi wanted to pull him into her own little circle.

This is why Jiang Qing chose to exchange cooperation instead of trading.

What he left for Eula was a big banner.

If it is a transaction, once the money and goods are settled, there will naturally be no relationship between us anymore.

But the cooperation is different.

Before the price of the secret agreement was exhausted, the entire cooperation was equivalent to Eula paying to purchase the services of the Hall of Rebirth for Keqing's Chamber of Commerce.

Of course Keqing didn't need anyone to pay for her, but she couldn't refuse because it was Jiang Qing who proposed the deal.

She can choose to accept it or not, but she can't spend the money even if she wants to.

Jiang Qing definitely isn't idle and would spend money on others. He spends money to buy relationships and to get Wangshengtang and Keqing to do business.

With these two around, Eula would always find it easier to do anything she wanted to do.

Every circle has its own threshold. Eula can be seen as a refugee from Mondstadt, and it is difficult for her to gain the trust of the merchants and officials in Liyue.

But with Keqing's name, these are not difficult.

Walnuts have to do something similar.

She wants to introduce Jiang Qing to her friends.

During this period, Hu Tao carefully examined Jiang Qing's level.

The Hall of the Dead does more than just funerals. In fact, it is inevitable to deal with ghosts and monsters occasionally.

But Jiang Qing's situation is special because of walnuts.

Judging from his age and physical fitness, Hu Tao might be able to continue working for Wangsheng Hall when Jiang Qing reopens normally, so Jiang Qing’s own strength does not need to be outstanding, it just needs to be sufficient.

It was impossible for him to become the hall master, so there was naturally no need to treat Jiang Qing with the highest standards. As long as he was sufficient, it was enough.

And it just so happens that he possesses the Eye of God, so there is no problem for him to grow up normally and take on some responsibilities.

Therefore, the only thing Hu Tao needs to focus on is his mastery of those ancient books.

My grasp of it is a little poor, so I study very seriously.

This is also acceptable.

As long as you study hard, it will be fine.

After all, people have different talents. It is understandable that they cannot learn. Jiang Qing is not a top figure in the Wangsheng Hall anyway. But not wanting to learn is another matter.

Jiang Qing felt that Hu Tao's help far exceeded his own efforts, so he tried his best to make Hu Tao satisfied.

Things like memorizing do require some talent, but after having the Eye of God, the elemental power feeds back into the body. It is hard to say whether my IQ has increased, but my memory and reaction speed have indeed improved.

There are just too many books to memorize for this job, and it feels like I’m going from being a beginner to being a complete beginner... Tsk, now I’m really in a complete beginner’s tomb.

What Hu Tao needs to do now is to introduce Jiang Qing to her friends.

The ancients said that dragons do not live with snakes. If this sentence does not involve the issue of threshold, then it is a direct issue of environment and habits.

Although Hu Tao has not yet prepared Jiang Qing's identity, her friends can be roughly described.

Chongyun is the eldest son of the Liyue alchemist lineage.

Xingqiu, the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Yun Jin, Prince Yan has to leave behind an Eye of God every time he watches a show.

These people are not bad people, nor do they have the arrogance that is appropriate for wealthy or powerful people.

But frankly speaking, it is really difficult to make friends with them without the right reason.

Friends are either those who share similar interests or those who can be helpful.

It's enough to have similar interests, but to be able to help someone you need to act at the right time.

Walnut can help him skip this step and use her reputation as collateral.

Most people's social interaction is based almost entirely on needs.

When people with needs find people who can meet those needs, and the latter for some reason believes that helping you will be rewarded double, this is the beginning of communication.

Hu Tao used her reputation to help Jiang Qing skip this step - but Jiang Qing couldn't quite understand it. He and Hu Tao had more of a friendship than a relationship. Wasn't it worth Hu Tao taking it so seriously?
With Walnut's social skills, it would be very easy for her to make friends as long as her background in the Hall of Rebirth is not taken into consideration.

However, it was only later that Jiang Qing realized that this might not be Hu Tao's idea, but someone wanted to use Hu Tao to get to know him.

What did I do?

Jiang Qing looked calm, but he began to reflect on himself.

This is not a difficult answer.

Jiang Qing smiled and said, "I have been looking forward to meeting you all for a long time."

His attitude was quite enthusiastic.

If it were just Xingqiu and Chongyun, Jiang Qing wouldn't be able to guess the answer.

But they all have a family behind them.

It’s hard to guess a person’s desires, but how hard is it to guess the thoughts of a clan?

It's nothing more than inheritance and expansion.

Keqing is making an effort.

They began to realize Qixing's behavior and the impact of the Emperor's death, so they needed to know Keqing's attitude and plan more urgently.

But Keqing would definitely not give them any explanation unless she wanted to use these people.

Jiang Qing is just the right person to be the middleman.

"There." Xingqiu clasped his hands together, "In fact, I have heard of Brother Jiang a long time ago."

This was a relatively private party.

Hu Tao, Xing Qiu, Chong Yun, Yun Jin, and Jiang Qing.

Of course, the protagonist is Xingqiu.

Chongyun followed suit and saluted, and Jiang Qing naturally returned the salute.

"Alright, alright," Walnut jumped onto the chair, "You two heroes, stop pretending to be so polite. Just speak directly if you have anything to say."

She tilted her head, "But let me tell you first, this is someone from our Wangsheng Hall."

Walnut smiled playfully, "Cooperation is fine, but unreasonableness is not."

Xingqiu smiled bitterly.

Unreasonable?

The Seven Stars are extremely busy during this period. Who dares to cause trouble and act unreasonably in Liyue Harbor? Aren’t they afraid that the Thousand Rocks Army will also act unreasonably?
