Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 406: The Magical Use of the Command Spell (Two in One)

"Well, since it is the order of the hall master, I will do my best to complete it."

Zhongli looked at the bills in his hand with some helplessness. Compared to working, he really preferred strolling around the streets.

He thought for a moment and continued:

"However, Master Hu, the demand in our industry has long been saturated. If we spend money to expand our business scope, the probability of losing money is very high."

In such a huge city like Liyue, it is inevitable that people are born, grow old, get sick and die every day.

But even so, there is a limit. Liyue's funeral industry is now in a balanced state after years of optimization. Expanding related businesses is basically a waste of Mora.

"Oh? Keqing, you seem to know a lot!" Walnut crossed his arms, with a surprised look on his face, "Then I'll leave Mora to you anyway.

"If you see any new business worth investing in, you can invest in it. If you can't afford it, just deposit it in Liyue Bank."

Hu Tao acted like a boss and walked away after saying that.

"Haha, it seems that Prince Yan's retirement life is not very smooth." Li Qiuzhi said with a smile.

"Excuse me, after all, helping Wangsheng Hall is my duty as a guest official."

Zhongli chuckled.

"Hey, Brother Zhongli, I have something I want to ask you." Li Qiuzhi nodded and got down to business.

"But it doesn't matter."

Zhongli raised his hand and motioned for Li Qiuzhi to ask anything.

"You know, I'm an adventurer. Some time ago, I was adventuring in the Salt of the Earth and discovered a sealed relic. After investigation, I found that it was the relic of the Kingdom of Salt, and it was sealed by you."

Li Qiuzhi briefly explained the situation.

After listening to Li Qiuzhi's words, Zhongli held his chin and nodded thoughtfully:

"You mean, you want to go there for adventure, so you come to tell me?"

"Well, that's about it. After all, I'm an adventurer, and I always yearn for unknown treasures. The remains of a demon god are indeed exciting.

"But it was you who sealed it after all. I don't know the specifics, and I'm afraid something unexpected will happen if I rashly unseal it, so I came here to ask for your opinion."

Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly.

He knew the details of what happened through the original book, but since he was going to get the treasure, there was no need to make it clear.

"The Demon Goddess of Salt Heulia is a gentle demon god, but the world at that time did not give her the same gentleness.

“She was stabbed to death by her own people, and her remains burst into endless salt crystals that submerged the entire Salt Kingdom. Only a handful of Salt People escaped.

"In order to prevent the salt crystals from spreading to the outside world, I sealed that place after discovering this situation. Thousands of years have passed, and I think the salt disaster there has long since subsided. If you want to explore it, go ahead.

“It’s not a bad thing to be able to restore the former salt country.”

As Li Qiuzhi thought, Zhongli did not object to Li Qiuzhi's adventure to the ruins of the Salt Demon.

"She was assassinated by her own people. Even if her strength is not that great, she is still a demon god after all. Is she so gentle that she would not resist even if she was assassinated by her own people?"

Li Qiuzhi showed appropriate doubts.

"That's right. Even when facing people holding sharp weapons against her own people, she can still smile calmly. She is a demon god worthy of respect."

Zhongli showed a look of reminiscence.

The Salt Demon was too gentle. He was afraid that the Demon War would affect his own people, so he just tried to escape.

In the end, he successfully arrived at the Salt of the Earth area and lived safely, but in the end he was killed by his own people, which is a bit ironic.

……

After listening to Zhongli's story about the Salt Demon in the Hall of Rebirth, Li Qiuzhi went outside the city to wait for Keqing.

No, Keqing is a very punctual person and doesn't need Li Qiuzhi to wait for her at all.

As soon as he reached the archway, he saw Keqing with lavender ponytails standing on the wooden arch bridge waiting.

"Keqing, I didn't make you wait too long, did I?" Li Qiuzhi walked over quickly and said a little embarrassedly.

"I just got here not long ago, so let's set off now without further delay."

Keqing shook her head slightly and said.

The way the two of them went to the Salt of the Earth was to use the Wings of Wind. With Li Qiuzhi who could control the wind element, their flying speed would not be slow.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the two successfully arrived near the Salt of the Earth.

They did not approach rashly for fear of being discovered by the treasure-stealing group members. Then the two of them landed on the ground, and then Li Qiuzhi deployed the invisibility field, became invisible, and approached the salt in the ground.

"Your secret technique is quite useful." Keqing said with emotion as she walked beside Li Qiuzhi.

"It's very useful against people who can't release their spiritual power, but it's not very useful when you encounter an enemy who can release his spiritual power."

Li Qiuzhi smiled and said.

"That being said, even if one can release spiritual power, no one would use it all day long."

Keqing thinks Li Qiuzhi is being modest.

Her strength has improved slightly recently, but she is still a long way from reaching her sixth breakthrough and being able to release her mental power.

"That's right." Li Qiuzhi nodded, then remembered something and asked, "Keqing, do you know Ye Lan? She seems to have mastered the art of invisibility. I want to find a chance to exchange ideas with her."

"Ye Lan? I know her, but I'm not too familiar with her. She is Ningguang's intelligence agent. If you want to find her, you should ask Ningguang. Of course, if I meet her, I can also help you talk to her."

Keqing pressed her soft lower lip and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

As the two were communicating, they soon arrived at the salt area under the ground.

"Where is the place where the adventurers reported that there is a treasure-hunting group?" Li Qiuzhi turned his head to look at Keqing beside him and asked.

"I'll point the way, and you follow me."

Keqing spread her legs wrapped in black pantyhose and walked towards the woods on the right.

Li Qiuzhi followed and used his mental power to search, and soon locked onto a group of treasure thieves about two kilometers away.

He told Keqing about this situation.

Then the two of them ran faster and closer to the treasure-stealing group. Two or three minutes passed quietly. "Sister Baoer, is the information you got reliable? We have been looking for two days, let alone the remains of the Salt Demon God, we haven't even found a grain of salt. Why don't we retreat?

"We have driven away so many adventurers in the past two days. If we don't leave now, they will bring the Thousand Rock Army with them!"

The temporary camp of the treasure-stealing group, with more than ten members of the group here at this time.

The leader was a young woman wearing a hood, and a man wearing a headscarf opposite her complained as he finished the last piece of barbecue.

"Idiot, of course salt has no hair!" The hooded young woman cursed back, and then continued, "Wait for those adventurers to go back and report, and for the Qianyan Army to get the news, it will take at least four or five days!

"As long as we find the ruins of the Salt Demon within the next two days and get the treasure inside, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives. You idiot, why are you afraid of this?"

"Okay, Sister Baoer, don't bother with him. We've been searching for two days without any clues. Everyone would be annoyed."

A bald member of the treasure-stealing group analyzed while trying to reconcile:

"We have searched this forest separately, on the southern hillside, and on the east and west sides. Since we haven't found it, it may be in the territory of the Rock Helmet King and the Abyss Mage in the north.

"We can't handle them. Should we contact Fei Gang, Zhuang Hu and the others? With their help, we have a chance!"

"Call them? Are you an idiot too? If we really rely on them, we won't even have enough to lick!"

Baoer rolled his eyes, wondering why all his subordinates were such guys with low IQ. But that was true, if they were smart enough, they would become the boss!
She thought for a moment and said:
"Well, let's retreat for now, go back and get some more elemental potions, and then get a big guy. When the storm has passed, we can come back and kill these garbage monsters right where they are!"

"Okay, let's listen to Sister Baoer and retreat now." The other members of the treasure-hunting team felt that there was no problem with it.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly felt as if their heads were hit hard by an invisible hammer. Their minds went blank for an instant. With a few "bang, bang, bang" sounds, everyone fell to the ground.

"They are indeed here to look for some treasure. The Salt Demon. I seem to have seen him in history books."

Keqing and Li Qiuzhi, who had been hiding nearby and eavesdropping for a long time, used their mental power to stun the treasure-stealing group and then removed their invisibility to reveal their true forms.

"They are too weak. I don't even need to summon tentacles. I just use my mental power to shock them and they are all stunned."

Li Qiuzhi said with a slight smile.

He had just observed with the Golden Eyes of Judgment that Sister Baoer, who seemed to have deceived the traveler and taken away the archaeological relics in the daily mission in the Liyue area of ​​the original work, was only level 50.

She is also the most powerful among this group of treasure thieves.

For him, who is at level 90, catching them is a piece of cake.

"Well, it's all thanks to you that we were able to capture them so neatly without anyone escaping."

Keqing said with a smile:
"I brought enough ropes to tie them up. I will notify the Qianyan Army later and ask them to take these evildoers back."

"Speaking of which, I have a good idea."

Li Qiuzhi looked at the treasure-hunting members who were knocked unconscious by him, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

"What's the idea?"

Keqing placed her hands on her upper abdomen and looked at the young adventurer next to her with her beautiful purple eyes.

"I have a power that can enforce their behavior."

Li Qiuzhi introduced the effect of the "Command Spell" specialty to Keqing:
"Do you think it's possible to make them obey our orders and then send them back to the treasure-stealing group as spies?

"If the treasure-stealing group has any actions in the future, let them inform the Qianyan Army, and then you can ambush and catch more treasure-stealing groups in advance!"

"Is it possible to have such a powerful ability to forcibly restrain other people's behavior?" Keqing was a little surprised when she heard Li Qiuzhi's words, and she also thought seriously about his idea:
“Although the treasure-stealing group is huge, it is a very loose organization internally, and it is common for them to form gangs and factions, just like the people in front of us.

"That is to say, they would not know about any actions of other treasure-stealing gangs that are detrimental to society, so it would be of little use to have them act as spies.

"And even if it works, the Qianyan Army doesn't have enough manpower to arrest them. After all, there are too many of them."

She shook her head. This idea was good, but with only a dozen people, the impact on the Treasure Stealing Group, the world's largest international organization, was too small.

If they are found out to have problems, the treasure-stealing gang may do something harmful to society in retaliation.

Li Qiuzhi thought about it and felt that what Keqing said made some sense. Even if this method was useful, it would be impossible for the Qianyan Army to capture all the treasure-stealing group members, and how to manage them would then be a problem.

So is it possible to let them manage themselves?

He had another idea:
“Keqing, you said that we should secretly control this group of treasure-stealing gangs, and then help them grow gradually, and eventually become the largest treasure-stealing gang in the Liyue region.

"A treasure-stealing group controlled by the Qianyan Army, will this completely solve the problem of treasure-stealing groups endangering society?"

"You mean, since we can't completely solve the problem of rampant treasure-stealing gangs by arresting them, we should just make them obey us completely, as long as we don't allow them to do bad things?"

Keqing said with surprise.

"It would be too terrifying if we used the Command Spell to control everyone. It would be very troublesome if ordinary people thought we had mastered some kind of magic to control everyone.

“So we only need to control some of the higher-ranking treasure-stealing group leaders, and then instruct them to lead the treasure-stealing groups to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, or form adventure groups to explore and make a living.

"As long as it does not harm society, it is a very successful thing.

"Of course, there is no need to show mercy to those who have committed the most heinous crimes. They must receive the punishment they deserve!"

Li Qiuzhi understood that the seven human kingdoms in Teyvat were all quite peaceful, and as long as they were willing to work, they would not starve. Those guys who came out to join the treasure-hunting group were either stupid or bad.

A person with evil intentions who wants to get rich overnight.

But there are too many of these people, and no country can capture them all. Moreover, there are monsters in the wild, which are very dangerous, so it is difficult to carry out large-scale capture operations.

It also didn't seem worth it to risk the lives of soldiers trying to capture them.

Moreover, if they push too hard, it might lead to a large-scale conflict with the treasure-stealing gang, or even a war.

In the end, it is the ordinary people who are affected who suffer.

Therefore, the best way is to become them, integrate into them, and finally control them and make them obedient, which can solve many problems.

“Your idea is feasible to a certain extent, but whether or not to do so still needs to be discussed among the seven stars. We cannot make a blind decision.

"But we can use these treasure-stealing groups to conduct a small-scale experiment to see how effective they are. If they can succeed, it will be a great benefit to society."

Keqing is a visionary and reformist person, and she is willing to try any possible methods to reduce the rampant treasure-stealing groups.
