Original God, but the real world

Chapter 78 77-Compromise and Violent Killing (8k)

Morax created a crisis, or rather, He created a game.

By His death.

This is an interesting game. The god who controls the overall situation opens the game with an abrupt death.

He did not leave any backup plans or preparations, and just threw the muddy situation to the Seven Stars and the Immortals. What Morax wanted to do was just to test how the Seven Stars and the Immortals would respond to this crisis.

The focus of the test is the Seven Stars, and the immortals are only the second test subjects.

Jiang Qing crossed his legs, looking relaxed.

"Are you happy?" Eula turned her face to the side with a nervous expression.

"I'm not happy." Jiang Qing replied, fiddling with the teacup in his hand, "I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think about making a big news."

He rubbed his cheek and said calmly, "You know I am a cautious person. I never thought of standing up so early."

“Be cautious?” Eula smiled awkwardly but politely, and clenched her fists subconsciously. “It seems like we have different understandings of the same word.”

"You want to intervene in the dispute between the Immortal and the Seven Stars, and even want to dig out the Seven Stars' base!"

"Do you really know what it means to be cautious?"

If the bond between her and Jiang Qing wasn't too deep, the first thing Eula would do is to tie this man up and sell him to Qixing.

Her friendship with Jiang Qing is enough for her to do many things for Jiang Qing, but when it comes to matters related to Lawrence, Eula will only choose the safest option for Lawrence.

Including betraying Jiang Qing.

But Eula couldn't do that.

Her friendship with Jiang Qing was open to the public. Given Lawrence's current size, if Jiang Qing failed in what he was doing, the other party would definitely not mind killing Lawrence as well.

So Youla could only choose to stand on Jiang Qing's side and hope that Jiang Qing would succeed.

"I dare to do this because the Immortals and the Seven Stars are reasonable." Jiang Qing's smile was somewhat self-deprecating. "You see, I am always submissive in front of the Fatui."

Fools will kill without reason.

The Immortals and the Seven Stars will all be reasonable at this stage.

Jiang Qing was willing to take the risk because it was unlikely that he would die before the end of the game.

"Really?" Eula was noncommittal. "Based on your choice, I don't think you care about the Fatui at all."

"I can't help it," Jiang Qing spread his hands and said helplessly, "Who made Yuheng Star unable to satisfy me?"

Up to now, Ying should have been climbing mountains and wading through water, with no signs of returning.

So Jiang Qing had enough time to slowly hone his thoughts until he frankly admitted that it was impossible to succeed if he chose Keqing.

There are two camps in the game, the Seven Stars and the Immortals.

Jiang Qing wants to create something more valuable than seven stars in this game.

He wanted to choose Seven Stars at first, but finally found that as long as he was under the Seven Stars, he would not be able to create value that exceeded that of Seven Stars.

If Jiang Qing just wanted to live, he didn't need to do anything.

If he wanted to do venture capital, he would certainly stick to the Seven Stars knowing the outcome.

But what Jiang Qing wanted was the attention of the gods.

So he could only choose the immortals.

Desire is directly proportional to effort. The more you want, the greater the risk you will take.

Morax's requirements for the immortals were too low. He didn't even expect them to do anything unexpected.

He placed more hope and attention on the seven human beings.

So if the immortal could win, he would discover that there were so many loopholes in his plan.

Jiang Qing, who exposed these oversights and made amends for them, will reap the greatest rewards.

"What you said is a bit abnormal." Eula sighed, "But compared to what you are about to do, it feels normal."

Jiang Qing revealed his plan in detail.

He supported Keqing before, and now he wants to support Xianren.

Eula was stunned on the spot.

Let’s not talk about betrayal midway - Keqing didn’t try to win him over anyway, and they didn’t reach a contract, so it naturally couldn’t be considered a change of stance.

Eula didn't quite understand how he wanted to hook up with the immortal.

The immortal doesn't even look down on the Seven Stars, so why would he choose to accept Jiang Qing?

"Why don't we just forget about it?" Eula couldn't help but persuade him, "The success rate of this thing is really too small... Didn't you say that choosing the Seven Stars would guarantee success? Why do you have to take the risk?"

The plan to cling to someone's influence had been made long ago.

When Eula met Keqing for the second time, she asked Jiang Qing about it. His answer at that time was that there was no problem and that she just had to wait quietly.

Then the psychopath changed his plan and tried to backstab Qixing.

"Aren't you a Liyue person? The rule of the Seven Stars should be more suitable for this human city than the rule of the Immortals, right?"

It was rare for Eula to persuade someone so persistently.

But this time it really doesn't work.

She didn't know Jiang Qing's confidence, but she knew the risks involved.

"In fact, this is also my problem." The blue-haired immortal with unicorn horns pushed the door open and walked in.

She looked like she had just been captured from somewhere. Although her tone was serious, her eyes and eyebrows were lazy and weary.

Even so, she forced herself to cheer up and review the information she had just written down.

"As far as I know, you just returned to Liyue not long ago." She looked at Jiang Qing, "Tianquan Star helped, and Yuheng Star did a business with you."

"I originally thought you would lean towards the Seven Stars, but I didn't expect you wanted to get closer to the Immortals."

Jiang Qing was a little surprised.

Ganyu is the best choice.

When trying to talk to Xiangling, Jiang Qing did expect Ganyu to appear.

But he also knew very well that the most likely people to show up would be Yan Fei or Grandma Ping.

The best option was also the one with the lowest probability, and now, good luck seemed to be on his side.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Qing." Gan Yu bowed slightly. "Excuse me for disturbing you. I am Gan Yu from Yue Hai Ting, the secretary of Qi Xing."

"Of course, I think you should know me."

She shook her head, and the drowsiness she had just felt after being caught dissipated a little, and her eyes became much clearer.

"You are using Xiangling as a springboard, probably just to discuss some cooperation with me."

Ganyu said seriously: "I remember that Hu Tao is your friend, and you used your friend's friend as a springboard. This behavior is not good."

Jiang Qing had no way to defend himself.

If he didn't want Xiangling to inform the immortal, he certainly wouldn't have explained it in such detail.

This attitude seemed almost clear to the immortal, and there was no need to make any excuses.

"I am sure that the Seven Stars are not the future of this city." Jiang Qing stood up. "I hope Liyue will become better, so I choose the Immortal."

[You are compiling a possibility that is contrary to the facts. Compared with the facts you already know, this is a choice that will lead the future to the unknown - but before this possibility becomes a reality, no one can be sure whether it will be worse or more perfect than the future you know.]

[There is a huge gap in strength between you and Ganyu. Please use what you have and try to work hard for what you want. ]

Jiang Qing restrained his smile.

He was doing some pretty crazy things, but contrary to the facts, Jiang Qing felt that he was calm enough.

Even has enough possibilities.

Perhaps this is the arrogance that will lead to the end, but if you want to get something in advance, how can you not take risks?

Jiang Qing thought he was being cautious, but he chose Mond instead of the expected Xumi.

"Please go ahead." Gan Yu sighed, "But I have to say first that I have worked with Qixing for a long time, and I believe that Qixing must be better than you."

"If your evidence is not strong enough to outweigh that trust, I would advise you not to speak out."

"Because you are trying to sow discord between me, the Immortal, and the Seven Stars."

"I must make you pay for this behavior, and Nanahoshi will make you pay as well."

She looked at Jiang Qing, her eyes clear: "Even so, you are sure you want to be honest about your thoughts, right?"

The person who found Ganyu was Grandma Ping.

He thought for a moment and felt that Jiang Qing's words clearly pointed to an immortal.

That immortal is not important. What is important is that He has to have enough understanding of Liyue Harbor.

Then there is only Ganyu.

So He found Ganyu who was resting somewhere, and then told Ganyu the matter frankly.

There was no need for Grandma Ping to do this, but Jiang Qing found Xiangling.

Jiang Qing lost points in impression.

Because he used Xiangling to achieve this goal, even if he could make amends, it would not change Ganyu's current mindset.

"Yes, I stick to my idea." Jiang Qing nodded, "I am sure that the rule of the immortals is more suitable for the future of Liyue than the rule of the Seven Stars."

Before speaking, always insist that all my choices and actions are for the benefit of Liyue.

You have to believe it yourself before others will believe it.

"Really?" Gan Yu looked at Jiang Qing, "Then please tell me your evidence and reasons."

"I will judge your statement according to my own understanding and choose whether to accept your reasons."

The people in Liyue Harbor were in turmoil, and Jiang Qing was not the first person to think about looking for an immortal.

But he was the first to succeed.

What Ganyu respects is this first place.

Eula had a complicated expression.

She had heard of Ganyu's reputation, the secretary of Yue Haiting and the immortal in Liyue Harbor.

Jiang Qing actually has the connection with the immortal.

But how can he convince an immortal who prefers humans?

Ganyu is of course biased towards humans.

She has lived in Liyue Harbor for a long time, and has adapted to the hustle and bustle of the city better than the free life of wandering clouds and cranes in the mountains.

But precisely because she favors humans, she understands humans better than any other immortal.

Jiang Qing cracked his knuckles subconsciously.

Once this move is made, there is really no turning back.

But since Xiangling has already been convinced, there is no need to worry about anything more.

"Liyue Harbor has been under the rule of the Emperor for thousands of years, and the rule of the Immortals is closest to that of the Emperor."

"I believe that the immortals can once again uphold the rule of Liyue."

Eula crushed the teacup in her hand with a snap.

This reason is not very acceptable.

You're using this excuse to make me take risks... Damn it (〃＞目＜)
"This reason is not enough." Gan Yu stared at Jiang Qing and shook her head. "If this is the only reason you prepared, then I think you have failed."

"In this Liyue Harbor, the rule of the Seven Stars is naturally more legitimate than the rule of the Immortals."

Jiang Qing was not flustered by this.

Plans are not always decided on a whim. After he decided to take the risk, he spent some time perfecting his words.

"After all, the Immortal has been away from Liyue Harbor for too long. It's been so long that most people here only know that the Immortal exists, but they don't even know who the Immortal is."

"Except for some people who intend to seek immortality, no one is even actively looking for immortality anymore."

So in Xiao's mission, someone even made up the name of an immortal, but those "believers" didn't notice anything unusual.

In this city, the immortals have been gone for so long that people have long forgotten their existence.

"Now that you mention this, I have a question as well."

Gan Yu folded her hands and stared into Jiang Qing's eyes, as if trying to see something.

"How did you know how to find the immortal?"

"I have read your personal information, and it is very worthy of confirmation that before this, you have never revealed any information that exceeds your status." Gan Yu looked serious, "Only this time, you contacted the immortal without authorization for some purpose."

"Apart from the possibility that your identity was replaced by someone else, I think someone must have told you this relevant knowledge."

To hide one's identity, one must ensure that one does not do anything that is apparently inconsistent with one's identity.

And Jiang Qing had done a good job before.

Until this time, he was exposed.

Ganyu didn't think that Jiang Qing had been replaced.

She could see clearly that this person's soul was very stable, and it was not the case that someone had taken off his face and sewn it on his own face - unless Jiang Qing had an unknown younger brother, they looked the same and the identity replacement was completed when he was Inazuma.

But this is a bit too exaggerated and not realistic at all.

The greater possibility is that he became someone's pawn.

The other party told him these things that he shouldn't know, in order to disrupt the chaos in Liyue.

Ganyu had many ideas, but in the end only these two remained.

Knowledge is something that has a high threshold. If you know something that you shouldn't know, you will either be replaced by others and become someone else's pawn, or you will be handed a book and become someone else's pawn.

It’s not impossible that he knew it by chance, but Ganyu doesn’t accept chance.

She thought Jiang Qing should be the latter.

"Reading a book." Jiang Qing said briefly, "I found relevant records from the ancient books in the Wangsheng Hall... Also, do you really think that the immortal is hiding well?"

Yan Fei would go there every day when she was free, and her identity was not concealed, so the identity of Grandma Ping was naturally no secret.

Ganyu did not answer.

She didn't quite believe it, but this reason was acceptable for the time being.

"And what I want to do is to make the people in Liyue Harbor realize the importance of immortals."

Jiang Qing didn't expect Gan Yu's thoughts either.

There is definitely suspicion, but when the situation is not dangerous enough, suspicion alone is not enough for Ganyu to take any special action.

"After the Emperor's departure, this city's future will inevitably usher in a confrontation."

"The conflict between the immortals and the Seven Stars has never really erupted, but it has never been resolved. It is only because of the majesty of the Emperor that the immortals have each lived in seclusion."

Not to mention the Seven Stars.

The Seven Stars have no means of counterattack.

If the only way to fight back against the enemy is to take advantage of the enemy's desire to make the country a better place, and then encourage ordinary people to fight back.

This is not called countermeasure.

"Now that the Emperor has gone on a long journey, this contradiction will explode sooner or later and will be resolved." Jiang Qing said slowly, "Even now, the immortals should have noticed it and made an appointment to come to Liyue Harbor."

But even if Morax had not died suddenly and without reason, even if He really died of old age on the throne, this contradiction would have erupted sooner or later.

Contradictions cannot disappear through suppression; they must be resolved, otherwise they will explode at some point when they can no longer be suppressed.

Ganyu frowned slightly.

Of course she knew everything about this matter.

She is one of the few immortals who maneuver among the Seven Stars. Yan Fei is related to the immortals by blood and is actually a pure Liyue person.

Ganyu’s situation is much more complicated.

"If a conflict breaks out, one side must give in to resolve the issue."

Jiang Qing lowered his eyes and asked softly, "So, Miss Ganyu, who do you think will give in?"

"If your reasoning stops there, I won't comment on it any further." Ganyu did not answer, "It's your own business to choose between the Immortal or the Seven Stars."

“But if you want to get involved, you take the corresponding risks.”

Of course I don’t answer this question because it is difficult to answer.

She was the one being asked, and if it was difficult to answer, then she wouldn't answer.

Gan Yu firmly believed that Jiang Qing would continue speaking.

She seemed like she didn't want to talk, but in fact she was still waiting for Jiang Qing's answer.

"Someone will give in." Jiang Qing said lightly, "Because the Seven Stars have no ability to do anything to the Immortals, and the Immortals have lived in the mountains for a long time and have no control over this city."

"If the Seven Stars are determined not to cooperate, they cannot start a large-scale war, so the Immortals will compromise."

He paused at the right moment.

"If things really develop to this extent, I will definitely help the immortal." Ganyu finally answered.

"If the Seven Stars are still unwilling to compromise when they are completely powerless, I can only assume that they are unwilling to give up power." Gan Yu said coldly, "I have given you the answer you want, you can rest assured."

The girl with Qilin blood flowing in her veins is not just a kind beast.

When she was first born, perhaps she was a pure benevolent beast.

But with the end of the Demon War and the daily life in the following two thousand years, she is no longer the pure and kind Kirin.

"The immortals can only compromise because of Liyue, because the Seven Stars do not have equal military power." Jiang Qing's smile became much more relaxed. "But the truth is not like this. It is not only possible for the immortals to compromise. Why can't the Seven Stars compromise?"

The disparity in military power left the Seven Stars with little room to struggle.

In the eyes of the immortals, the only reason they refused to compromise was because they were attached to power.

But this would make the immortal seem too stupid.

They compromised for the future of Liyue, while the other party refused to compromise for their own power... How dare they?
"This is an unnecessary dispute. If the Immortal had persisted a little longer, Qixing would have lost."

"So it's reasonable for me to choose the Immortal."

We are all doing this for Liyue. There is no reason why I should be the only one to compromise. Can't you make a concession?
Since you have made a concession, the immortal is right... I am always right, why should I make concessions!

"As a member of the Immortals, I prefer the Seven Stars."

Gan Yu shook her head. "I don't think the teachers can handle these tedious matters."

Given Master Liuyun's temperament, how could He possibly have the patience to "talk"?

Once a problem is too complicated, I am afraid His first reaction will be to solve the person who created the problem, rather than simply solving the problem.

But this is not the solution.

The problem still exists, and solving the person who raised the problem will not solve it.

"You are too prejudiced against immortals." Jiang Qing disagreed. "You are also an immortal. Did you know government affairs as well as you do now?"

“These are things that need to be honed.”

"The Seven Stars have spent more than ten years to understand these issues. I don't think the immortals are inferior to the Seven Stars of today."

The interesting thing is that Ganyu, who is an immortal, insists that immortals are not good enough, while Jiang Qing, who is a human, thinks that immortals are better.

Gan Yu acted based on experience, while Jiang Qing acted out of self-interest.

"It seems that we have different opinions." Ganyu did not insist on persuading.

When a person has reached this point, words of persuasion are no longer effective.

He will stick to his own opinions, and even if he fails he will only think that he did not do well enough, rather than that he was wrong.

Over a long period of time, Ganyu has met many people like this.

“I’m glad you consider my opinion as one that needs to be taken into consideration.”

Jiang Qing smiled in a harmless manner and spoke respectfully.

"In fact, the reason I'm so persistent is because of what I saw in Inazuma."

Before Jiang Qing could speak, Gan Yu subconsciously interrupted him.

"Inazuma? How many more scapegoats do you want to blame Inazuma for?" She frowned slightly. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but how much prejudice do you have against the country of Inazuma? Why do you always use this country as a shield?"

From the information she collected, Jiang Qing at least used this experience to convince three parties.

Inazuma seemed to explain everything to him, and everything could be related to Inazuma.

Jiang Qing did not deny it.

But this time it's not a superficial explanation, but a real answer.

"The three magistrates of Inazuma are actually three families." Jiang Qing insisted on his words, "With the Kujo, Hiiragi and Kamisato families as the core, and the nobles attached to them as wings, they built the three magistrates' offices."

"The power of the shogunate is divided among the three magistrates' offices. The only ones that can override them are Narujin Taisha Shrine and the castle tower."

"I think the current state of the shogunate is the future of Liyue."

“Everyone has their own job and just does their job.”

Like a swarm of insects.

But the lower levels of the swarm will unconditionally give everything for the core, and the core will use any means necessary to develop and grow the swarm.

Inazuma does not deserve this description. The lower class is dissatisfied but powerless to resist, and the upper class... Kujo Takayuki has sold out his country, so what else is there to say?

"Isn't it good for everyone to do their own job?" Ganyu frowned slightly.

She didn't know much about Inazuma's story.

Liyue's internal affairs alone are enough to make Yuehaiting's secretary dizzy.

Nanahoshi wouldn't talk to her about Inazuma's internal affairs, and the Yae Palace Master certainly wouldn't either.

If she knew Inazuma well enough, she would know that everyone having their own responsibilities is not always a good thing.

“It’s certainly good for everyone to have their own job.”

How could Jiang Qing refute this statement?

It's certainly good for everyone to be busy with what they are supposed to do.

"But what if I want more?"

He asked sincerely, "If I am attached to a certain Seven Stars, but I want to become a Seven Star, what should I do?"

Ganyu didn't even think there was anything wrong with this assumption.

It is not an exaggeration for a madman who has set his sights on creating a conflict between immortals and humans to come up with such an assumption.

"Wait for his term to end. Before his term ends, he should perform well and contribute to Liyue, and then the selection will be made."

Ganyu gave the answer.

She presided over the appointment and removal of many Seven Stars, and later gave up this power.

As the secretary of Qixing, she also has the power to appoint and dismiss Qixing. Even though Ganyu has a clear conscience, the two powers are too close after all, so she chose to give up one of them.

"What if he doesn't want to end his term?" Jiang Qing continued to ask, "Every Seven Star will face this problem. What if they don't want to give up power and jointly pass a bill to amend the term of office?"

"No." Gan Yu answered simply, "If the Emperor doesn't agree, I won't agree either."

“I have a student who has inherited my philosophy, and when it comes to selection, I prefer him to accept my position.”

"Do you think he is suitable for this position?"

Ganyu hesitated.

Being able to enter the selection means that his ability has been recognized.

So should he be given special evaluation because of his identity?
"Tianji Star's son is running for election under Kaiyang Star. Kaiyang Star's son is running for election under Tianji Star. Will Tianji Star compromise because of his son?"

Evaluating the final result and deciding the final power and position purely based on personal opinions is nothing more than a face-saving job for everyone.

"If they are really talented, we can't suppress them deliberately just because of their status, right?"

"But if we don't suppress him, in three or five generations, the son of Kaiyang Star may be the future Tianshu Star, and the descendants of Tianshu Star may be the future Tianquan Star. Everyone should take turns to sit in the position."

Liyue's selection method is based on the principle of meritocracy, otherwise Zhiyi would not have had the opportunity to participate in the competition for Tianshu Star.

But no matter whether the method is good or bad, as long as the standard is evaluated by people, it will eventually be shaken soon.

"Do you want fairness in appearance or relative fairness?"

"Fair face means that their qualifications are directly determined because of their identities."

"And it is relatively fair, and the assessment is based on talent, regardless of the other party's background."

There is no absolute fairness.

The education level and educational resources received by the children of the Qixing family and those of ordinary Liyue people cannot be the same. It is already difficult to maintain relative fairness, and absolute fairness is impossible.

Gan Yu subconsciously began to calculate according to Jiang Qing's words.

Ignoring the pros and cons of educational resources and singling out the success of some "poor scholars" for publicity is actually promoting the victory of accidental "genes".

Looking at history, those who ascended to the position of prime minister were definitely students from humble backgrounds.

But if we compare all the prime ministers, it is obvious that more prime ministers came from aristocratic families.

As the base number increases, there will always be a few geniuses who can create miracles using limited resources.

If we do not choose fairness for the sake of face and really allow the children of the rich and powerful to compete with ordinary people, the winner and loser will always be obvious.

The imperial examination system was to serve the emperor, and the emperor himself would weigh the power of the aristocratic families, because he would not want to accept a situation where power fell into the hands of others, so he could only balance the power of the aristocratic families in the court.

But Liyue is not this environment.

Liyue has no emperor, and the power of an emperor is divided into seven parts, which gives the powerful and wealthy enough room to play their roles.

Ganyu lowered her eyes subconsciously.

She couldn't refuse Jiang Qing's words because in her speculation, Jiang Qing was right.

As long as we follow a relatively fair approach, the Seven Stars and Eight Gates will be fixed within three to five generations.

Precisely because she was Qixing's secretary and had worked in Liyue Harbor for thousands of years, she knew more clearly that what Jiang Qing said was not an exaggeration but a true description.

"They don't need to use the tricks I mentioned. They just need to use the platform built by their parents and their own efforts to realize this future."

Jiang Qing's smile is kind and his words are gentle.

How else can I describe it with words?
"If my son wants to compete, I certainly won't create trouble for his competitors - why would I bother? I have the Chamber of Commerce to provide Mora, and I have a complete staff team that has experienced a considerable degree of political struggle and will give it to him directly..."

Is there anything that cannot be accomplished even if one has money and money?
“This is certainly not a trick.”

"The Chamber of Commerce's Mora is an investment... Oh, investment is a bit too straightforward. Let me put it another way. This is a gift from the Chamber of Commerce based on its admiration for his noble character and outstanding talent. The Chamber of Commerce believes that he can bring a better future to Liyue. It is not giving him money. The Chamber of Commerce earns money from Liyue and spends money on Liyue without asking for anything in return."

"Manpower? My staff no longer works for me. After resigning, they found a new follower... It's a pity that I couldn't retain these outstanding talents, but what law could this violate?"

Jiang Qing asked seriously, "Ms. Ganyu, do you think my son can win?"

"You must be fair and just, and always judge the winner based on the results."

Youla rearranged the tea bowls and winked at Jiang Qing.

Violent killing.

"What would you do?" Ganyu closed her eyes.

After a moment, she opened her eyes again and spoke softly.

“It’s not what I would do…” Jiang Qing shook his head. “In fact, the Emperor also has to face this problem, but this kind of thing didn’t happen in Liyue.”

"Because He doesn't need to do anything, Qixing will figure out His thoughts by himself."

The person who wronged you knows how wronged you are better than you do.

Anyone who finds good reasons for something knows very well whether it is right or not.

Morax does nothing, but those who fear him will take the initiative to adjust their posture to avoid making mistakes.

"But you can't." Jiang Qing said seriously, "The first thing you have to do is to compromise with Qixing - why do you think Qixing will still care about your opinions in the future?"
