Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

There was a hint of longing in Zhongli's eyes.

Those who are truly remarkable figures, those who are bold and unrestrained, and those who are righteous and devoted to their cause, even to the point of sacrificing their lives for their loyal subjects.

Plus, even novels wouldn't dare to depict someone conquering the world with a broken bowl...

Despite her longing for it, Zhongli still had some questions.

"Why is there always war? But in the modern era you speak of, there are no large-scale wars anymore?"

Jiang Ning said, "The affairs of the world, after a long period of division, will inevitably unite; after a long period of unity, will inevitably divide again. This is a natural law. As for why there isn't a major war in modern times..."

A smile appeared on his face: "Because of the nuclear bomb, I can't defeat you, but I can take you back to the primitive era... or even make the whole world live as long as the heavens."

Zhongli pondered for a moment: "I see... Thank you very much today. I have also benefited a lot. Consider the rock element as my reward for this."

As he spoke, a layer of rock element, which appeared even thicker than before, condensed in front of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's face lit up with joy: "How could I possibly accept this..."

But his little hand, which he reached out involuntarily, didn't think that way.

When Jiang Ning was absorbing it, he realized that this rock element was not simple. It was even more powerful than the previous one, and its purity far surpassed that of his senior sister Gan Yu, who was a half-immortal and half-human.

He truly is a legitimate immortal.

After their temporary farewell, the tea was still warm, and Zhongli sat there quietly.

After a long while, he finally sighed.

"It seems this matter requires further consideration..."

Zhongli decided to communicate with Jiang Ning more in the future.

34. My senior sister isn't here tonight.

After finishing her fieldwork for the day, Ke Qing returned to Yuehai Pavilion, preparing to work overtime that evening on some paperwork.

Then we saw Gan Yu with a radiant face, as if she had finally put her mind at ease.

Ke Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Yue Haiting's secretary really broke the law?

Ke Qing tentatively asked Gan Yu, "Gan Yu, what's wrong with you...?"

Gan Yu said, "It's nothing, it's just that a sudden idea has finally been put into practice..."

Ke Qing exclaimed inwardly, "This must be them saying that Jiang Ning has been harmed!"

Gan Yu, on the other hand, felt a little comforted at this moment.

Because, in the afternoon, she used a series of reasons, such as failing to meet fire safety standards, to force Ying'er's porcelain shop to temporarily close.

As a result, Ying'er was also fined a sum of money.

Although he couldn't bring himself to punish his own junior brothers and sisters, Ying'er, the instigator, was at least an instigator and absolutely deserved to be severely punished.

All I can say is that after a busy afternoon, Gan Yu felt better and vented her frustration and anger.

"Gan Yu, I'll turn a blind eye to this kind of thing this time... If it's convenient, it's best not to do it."

Ke Qing hinted very sincerely.

At least wait until the child is grown up before talking about it.

Gan Yu was startled. This afternoon, for the first time in thousands of years, she had used her position for personal gain. Although it was legal and compliant, there was still some selfishness involved.

Does Ke Qing already know this?

As expected of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Gan Yu said, "Don't worry, Ke Qing, she won't do it again."

Keqing muttered, "You've already made this mistake, you definitely won't make it again..."

However, Gan Yu has worked hard for Yuehaiting and Liyue for thousands of years.

Some things are better left unsaid; just focus on the big picture and let go of the small details.

Ke Qing said, "You know what you're doing. I'm leaving now."

950180909

With that, he left the spot, while Gan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

Thank goodness, since Keqing, who has always been impartial and incorruptible, has said so, the other Seven Stars probably won't say anything either.

However, such acts of using public office for private gain should not be done anymore.

Gan Yulai handed over the documents at Yuehaiting, then packed some food at Wanmintang before returning directly to his residence.

My junior brother seems to really like Wanmintang's cooking; let's eat at Wanmintang from now on.

"Junior brother, I'm back. What are you doing?"

Gan Yu pushed open the door and asked with a smile.

Jiang Ning said, "Senior sister, when the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is held, may I go and take a look over there?"

Gan Yu smiled gently and said, "Of course you can. You and Shen He can come directly into the inner area with me. Since you are disciples of the True Lord, you are also considered juniors of the Emperor. No one will say anything if you enter the inner area."

"Then thank you, Senior Sister."

A hint of excitement flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

I heard about the Geo Archon when I first got into the game. He's a god from Liyue, and Liyue is based on my homeland, so I naturally felt a sense of belonging and curiosity about him.

However, I have been here for more than two years and have never seen the Emperor even once.

We must meet them this time. It seems that Keqing is in charge of the invocation ceremony this year, right?

Seeing Jiang Ning's happy expression, Gan Yu was also very pleased. It seemed that her junior brother hadn't been left with any trauma...

Then, Gan Yu's gaze fell on Shen He, her smile slowly fading. She suddenly sighed and said, "Let's eat. Don't let this happen again, Shen He..."

Shen He nodded and sat down as well.

…………

For the next two days, Gan Yu was nowhere to be seen, and Shen He was also taken away by Gan Yu, while Jiang Ning was left with nothing to do.

So he decided to tell Zhongli stories and learn gun techniques and rock element from him.

To Jiang Ning's great surprise, his rock element skills, honed in just two days, were more advanced than he had been in training with his senior sister for a year.

This further convinced Jiang Ning that Zhongli must be one of the best among the immortals.

Today is the last day of training; tomorrow is the ceremony to invite the immortals. Just as Jiang Ning was about to leave, Zhongli suddenly asked:

"Jiang Ning, tell me, what would Liyue be like without the Rock King?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback, then said, "Liyue will lose an absolute deterrent force against the outside world..."

"What if Liyue can overcome the crisis posed by the Demon God through her own abilities?"

Jiang Ning said, "According to the ancient texts, demon gods also have varying degrees of strength. Moreover, even if there are immortals, it would probably take human lives to deal with demon gods."

"King against king, general against general, demon against demon—this is an unchanging principle. Even if you can defeat the demon, what then? Your resources will be depleted in one or two battles; it's still a slow death."

Jiang Ning sighed as he spoke: "After all, Teyvat is still a continent ruled by the Demon God. During the Demon God War, countries without the Demon God would be annexed by other countries. It seems to me that this is the case now... It's just a matter of time. Don't forget that human lifespan is much shorter than that of the Demon God. You can't guarantee that every Liyue Seven Stars will be a wise ruler."

Zhongli remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Jiang Ning bowed to Zhong Li in the manner of a disciple before departing.

This has also been Zhongli's request for the past two days.

Now that he has mastered his own marksmanship and immortal techniques, and even his own rock element, he should rightfully be treated as a disciple.

The autumn wind was bleak, and after a long while, Zhongli finally sighed:

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long, but it's not like there's no chance..."

…………

"Senior Sister Gan Yu, Senior Sister Shen He, I'm back... Hey, where's Senior Sister Gan Yu?"

When Jiang Ning returned home, he found Shen He sitting quietly by himself, but Gan Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Shen He said, "It seems that Senior Sister is talking about the preparations for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. If something goes wrong with the people below, they may need to go back and work through the night to deal with it."

"Huh?" Jiang Ning said, "It's so hard?"

Shen He said, "It is said that there was no need for Senior Sister to be there, but she was worried and kept an eye on things... so it was just the two of us eating dinner tonight."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I see... then let's eat first."

After finishing his meal, Jiang Ning wanted to go to bed early, as tomorrow would be the lively Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

However, Jiang Ning, who wanted to go back to her room, was stopped by a strong yet soft hand.

Turning around, I saw Shen He, his face slightly flushed, looking absolutely stunning.

Shen He awkwardly said, "Junior brother, senior sister isn't here today, I..."

Jiang Ning looked at Shen He's expectant expression and understood.

Shen He, when he's around, only has two modes when he's not in a quiet state.

Hungry and shivering.

Now, they are all full.

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and risked his life to accompany his senior sister.

35. Ceremony for Invoking the Immortals

The next day, Jiang Ning rubbed his numb lower back, sat on the bed, and asked the system:

When will we be able to launch a counterattack?
