Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 219: Demon Slayer and Defender of the Way (Two in One)

"That's fine. I'll have to go to the Adventurer's Guild sooner or later anyway."

Ying placed her hands under her chest, slightly lifting up her round and soft white chest, nodded and said.

"Hehe, I wonder what new commissions the Liyue Adventurer's Association will have."

Paimon said in an expectant tone.

Li Qiuzhi smiled slightly after hearing her words: "It's probably just a different region, the commission content won't be much different."

A few people left the wooden arch bridge of the archway, and after asking where the Adventurer's Association was, they began to walk towards that direction.

Like Mondstadt, the streets of Liyue Harbor are patrolled by many Thousand Winds.

In this way, even if the entire city has a large number of people, it can be managed in an orderly manner, life is in good order, and nothing goes wrong.

The Adventurer's Association was a little far from the archway. It took me a long time walking and asking before I finally saw the Adventurer's Association in Liyue Harbor from afar.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions were still walking on a wooden arch bridge, but it was much smaller than the one over there on the archway.

"Hey, look on the left, there is a 'teleportation anchor' in front of this tree."

Paimeng was flying in the air and discovered the existence of the teleportation device faster than Li Qiuzhi and the others.

"Well, it seems we are lucky. It appeared in front of us without us having to look for it specifically."

A smile appeared on Ying's fair face.

"There are so many people here now, let's come back and have a look tonight."

Li Qiuzhi did not show any surprise because he had already expected it.

According to his impression of the Liyue Harbor map in the game, there are two "teleportation anchor points" in the city of Liyue Harbor.

They are located at both ends of the city, and one of them is on the only way from the archway to the Adventurer's Guild.

Reality is not a game. Lighting up the "teleportation anchor" with so many people watching, something that people are already accustomed to and commonly see, will definitely attract attention.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying are both people who fear trouble, and would rather not use it for the time being than be so high-profile.

By lighting it secretly, even if people discover that the teleportation anchor has inexplicably turned blue over time, it won't be a big problem as long as they don't notice it.

Just like when we were at the stone gate, it’s okay to be seen if you suddenly appear after the teleportation is over.

Just say that he was using some kind of space secret technique and just happened to appear here.

But if you are seen too many times, there is still a risk of being exposed.

It’s a pity that his “form concealment” skill cannot make others invisible, otherwise he wouldn’t have to worry about it.

However, it will be greatly enhanced when it reaches the maximum level.

It may even be an expansion of functions. I wonder if it will be able to make people invisible.

It seems that in addition to your own level, you can also give priority to improving the skill of "Form Concealment".

Li Qiuzhi seemed to be in a daze as he walked and thought.

After crossing the square with the scenic pond, you can easily see the Adventurer's Association reception desk above the street.

Ying's left foot, wrapped in over-the-knee white boots that showed off her graceful leg lines, stepped lightly on the wooden steps. Her snow-white thighs under the hem of her skirt were clearly visible, slightly exposed in the afternoon sun because of the raised movement.

As a result, it reflects some light, which seems to be more dazzling than the sun.

Paimeng couldn't wait to fly up and arrived at the reception desk. Just as she looked at the receptionist and prepared to say hello, she opened her mouth and exclaimed:

"Hey! Catherine?! Why are you here!?"

Hearing Paimon's surprised voice, Ying quickened her pace and ran up to look inside the reception desk.

A white headscarf, black hair, a gentle smile, and a maid-style dress with a green edge and a white background. Isn't this exactly the same as Catherine, the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild in Mondstadt!

Seeing this, Ying opened her amber eyes slightly and her soft lips slightly opened.

Could it be that Catherine could also teleport?
Li Qiuzhi followed Ying and walked up. Since he knew the truth of the matter, he did not seem surprised.

"Towards the stars and the abyss! Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild."

Catherine put her hands in front of her as usual, smiled and said something, then continued:

"Please don't be surprised, everyone. After all, there is an 'I' at the reception desk of the Adventurer's Association in every country."

"What do you mean? Can you split yourself into two?"

Paimon felt a little confused.

"Yeah, although my guess is not very accurate, it's almost there."

Catherine smiled and nodded:

"Okay, everyone, please let's get back to the topic, otherwise it will delay other adventurers from coming to submit commissions."

"Okay, but it really makes me concerned!" Paimon looked itchy.

"Haha, we are bionic dolls, so we look exactly the same and are deployed in every country as receptionists."

Catherine said with a smile without continuing to keep the secret.

This is not a very important secret. After all, many adventurers have experience in cross-border expeditions. After seeing multiple Catherines, it is not difficult to guess the truth.

It can't be septuplets.

Compared to this, people are more willing to believe that she is a bionic doll, or that she really has the secret ability to split herself into two.

"I see."

Ying nodded and chose to believe this statement.

"By the way, Miss Catherine, does the Adventurer's Association have any temporary accommodation? We just arrived in Liyue Harbor and haven't found a place to stay yet."

Li Qiuzhi already knew about this, so he was not too surprised and asked directly about the business.

"Ah, what a coincidence that you are a step late. Because there are still five days before the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony, there are many adventurers coming to Liyue Harbor. Just now, the last room has been occupied by an adventurer from Fontaine."

Catherine looked regretful.

"Ah, it's gone now? Looks like I'm a bit unlucky today."

Paimon said with a slight sigh.

"Well, I didn't expect that the 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals' would attract so many people." Li Qiuzhi's pupils showed a hint of surprise.

“After all, the Emperor will appear at that time to guide Liyue’s business direction for the next year.

“For foreigners who have dealings with Liyue, it is very important to keep up to date with the country’s policies.”

Katherine explained briefly.

"Well, in that case, we won't bother you anymore."

After understanding the situation, Li Qiuzhi had no choice but to leave with Ying and Paimeng. They had already found a "teleportation anchor point" so it was not urgent to stay. He remembered that Liyue's blacksmith shop was next to the Adventurer's Association.

Now you can take the opportunity to ask if the blacksmith shop can make the various parts needed for a bicycle.

Liyue Harbor.

"Hanfeng Ironware" is a century-old blacksmith shop.

Old Zhang, who had short black hair and a square face, looked at the sun that was about to set, wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck, and sat down to rest for a while before calling it a day.

Suddenly he caught a glimpse of two young people, a man and a woman, walking down from the Adventurers' Guild above.

They are also accompanied by a flying white elf. What a strange combination.

"Do you want to buy weapons or repair them?" Old Zhang asked without paying too much attention.

"Hello, boss. We are not here to buy weapons. We would like to ask you to make some mechanical parts. Is that possible?"

Li Qiuzhi asked politely.

"Haha, I'm also one of the best blacksmiths in Liyue. If there's anything I can't forge, tell me!"

Lao Zhang answered confidently.

“It’s not something difficult. What we asked you to build is actually a sample of a new type of transportation we designed.

"After the samples are verified to be usable, we will prepare to sell the design drawings, so when you build them, please be careful not to leak the information of the drawings."

Li Qiuzhi said after careful consideration.

There is no way these things need to be made clear in advance to avoid damage to one's own interests.

"Huh, kid, what I, Old Zhang, value most is integrity. When someone gave me the blueprints of a four-star weapon and asked me to make a weapon, I never leaked it.

"And our Lord Emperor is the God of Contract. If he knew that I violated the contract, I would be punished by the Rock Eater. Besides, the General Affairs Department will not sit idly by, so don't worry!"

Old Zhang held his arms, which had become very strong from daily blacksmithing, and said with a little displeasure on his face.

As a person who runs a business with integrity, what I hate most is being doubted.

"Sorry, since I'm here, of course I believe you." Li Qiuzhi smiled, then took out the design drawing he and Ying had completed from his evil eyes and handed it over, saying, "This is the new type of transportation we need you to build. Take a look at it first, and then tell us the approximate forging cost."

"Well, let me take a look." Old Zhang was also curious about what kind of new means of transportation it was.

He took the drawing and looked at its contents carefully.

An iron frame, bearings, brake traction cables, wheels... Is this called a bicycle? What a great idea.

After reading the basic content, Lao Zhang nodded and said, "No problem."

"The whole car only needs iron and wood. The materials are not expensive. However, the bearing is more difficult to make, so the labor cost will be a bit higher. You should know that since you designed the drawings yourself."

"Yes, that's right. How many Moras would it take to build such a bicycle?"

The one who was speaking was Ying. She was so poor that she only had 100,000 Mora left, so she was quite concerned about this aspect.

"Based on my experience, the main iron material cost is about 10,000 Mora, and I won't charge you more for forging. How about 20,000 Mora a day to help you make it within a week?"

Lao Zhang usually has other work such as forging and repairing weapons, so it is impossible for him to spend the whole day building this bicycle.

Otherwise, it only takes two or three days to make it.

Twenty thousand a day, one hundred and fourteen thousand a week, plus ten thousand for materials, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand Mora.

Since it is forged from iron ore, the various processes involved are indeed cumbersome, and the price is indeed reasonable.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying quickly judged in their minds and felt that there was no problem, so they nodded.

The cost of a Mora bicycle of 150,000 yuan may seem high, but this is the result of the lack of factory mass production. After all, as long as there is a production line to increase output, the cost can be easily reduced by half.

The final selling price of such a bicycle is probably tens of thousands of Mora, and it does have the potential to become popular.

It seems that this design can indeed be sold at a good price.

After discussing the matter of making bicycles with Lao Zhang from "Hanfeng Ironware", I looked at the time and it was already six o'clock in the evening, so I asked about the location of "Wanmin Hall" and left.

They walked down to the street below and crossed to the Church of All Peoples.

That's right, it is just across the same street from the Adventurer's Guild and the Blacksmith Shop, very close.

"Wanmin Hall" is a small restaurant. The tables and chairs for people to dine are placed outside, so it can be considered an open-air restaurant.

Their business is very good, and the middle-aged chef in the kitchen seems to be overwhelmed.

The second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had not arrived yet, so Li Qiuzhi and his friends ordered a delicious and inexpensive portion of "Central Plains Mixed Vegetables" from the snack stand nearby and ate while waiting.

Not long after, Xingqiu finally came over, and next to him was a young man with ice-colored hair and white clothes.

Chongyun Li Qiuzhi secretly said his name in his heart.

He knew this young man. In the game, he was a good friend of Xingqiu. He came from a well-known exorcist family and mastered powerful magic.

The most amazing thing is that he has a rare pure yang physique, the kind that any demons and monsters will avoid when they see him.

So it is very difficult for him to encounter demons.

The so-called monsters here are not hillbillies, slimes, etc., but real monsters, such as animal spirits, ghosts, etc.

"Oh? Why are you here so early?"

Xingqiu said with some surprise.

"Hey, because we have something to do at the blacksmith shop, we came here first since we thought it was about time."

Paimon said with a smile on his face.

"I see. Let me introduce you. This is my good friend Chongyun, a magician who fights demons and defends the Way. I saw him on the street just now, just coming back from outside, so I asked him to come over and meet you all."

Xingqiu nodded first, then introduced his friends to Li Qiuzhi and the others.

"A magician who slays demons and defends the Way? He sounds very powerful."

Ying sat on the chair, resting her elbows on the table, supporting her fair cheek with her palms, looking at the young man with some curiosity.

"No, with my strength, I can't become a great alchemist!"

Chongyun sat with Xingqiu opposite Ying and Li Qiuzhi, and waved his hand modestly.

"Speaking of your spells, are there any that can be used to train and improve mental strength?"

Li Qiuzhi asked with great interest.

By the way, is it possible to learn a few magic spells from Chongyun, or ask their family if there is any method to improve mental strength?

This way you don’t have to go through the trouble of looking for an immortal.
