My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Looking at Ying Xiaqing in front of him, he waved his hand and continued, "Moreover, I have no interest in humans. My life's pursuit is the pinnacle of alchemy. Women will only affect the speed of my experiments."

Try to increase your favorability with me... The methods taught in the book should be correct. You are quite valuable to me, and your strength is not to be underestimated once you have gathered all seven elements.

"And your brother's current status is also a great help to me; we can actually reach a temporary cooperation agreement."

Xia Qingying's tone remained cautious: "Cooperation?"

"The Anemo Archon and the Geo Archon recently asked me to pass on a message to you: if you can help Liyue escape the age of gods and enter the age of humans, they will tell you about the Void as a reward."

Xia Qing, using Abedo's appearance, curled her lips into a slight smile, while Ying said somewhat helplessly, "Your request is really... impossible to refuse."

Now that you know my brother's name, and I see you do indeed have information about him, are you moving towards the human era? It seems the gods are treating their people quite well.

I've taken the job, but it seems...to be very difficult.

Thinking about the difficulty of that task gave Ying a headache, while Xia Qing felt instantly relaxed when she saw Ying's troubled expression.

Yay, I can slack off now!

However, I'm not sure what the difference is between completing the outsourced prayer and completing it normally. I'll find an opportunity to sign the contract another day.

If you want to stay in this world long-term, it's very troublesome not to sign a contract.

Those who enter the world from outside will be automatically rejected by the world if they are allowed to leave. After staying in the world for a period of time, they will be automatically removed from the world.

I had seen this rule in a history book I bought in the intelligence gathering place. It seems that it was added to the world by a group called the World Recorders.

The way you leave depends on the type of world. If you're lucky, you'll be kicked out of the world; if you're unlucky, you'll probably be annihilated on the spot.

The Genshin Impact universe is the kind of world where people are expelled, and Xia Qing certainly doesn't want to wake up one day to find herself kicked out of the world.

In this world, after signing a contract, one can act by using Keqing's status. In other words, what one does in this world is actually done by Keqing in the world's eyes.

The plan to create the ultimate life form was devised by Master Ke.

However, it's still a long way from being kicked out; there's usually a grace period of a few weeks.

After outsourcing Keqing's mission, Xia Qing casually exchanged a few words with Ying and left. At this moment, the time deletion of King Crimson was also lifted.

Xia Qing just used his own local state to perform the time deletion, so the duration was naturally far longer than Diablo in real history, who did not choose not to be human.

Watching Xia Qing leave through the golden spatial rift, Ying glanced in Paimon's direction.

Chapter 588: Secret Contract 2.0 - Building a Harmonious Liyue

Hey, just now... I had a weird feeling about that?

At this moment, Paimon had already noticed something was wrong, and looked at Ying with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe?"

Facing Paimon's gaze, Ying uttered the sound of a lazy wind god.

"Paimon, I've made up my mind."

Looking at the mascot in front of him, who was also serving as emergency food, Ying spoke in a serious tone, while Paimon looked bewildered: "You've decided... what?"

"I want to free Liyue from its dependence on the gods and make humanity realize that it should create its own history!"

As Paimon said this, a certain emergency food item looked completely bewildered.

Eh, eh eh eh?

Ying, what are you saying, Ying? Why do you suddenly have such grand ambitions? What just happened?

While Paimon was completely bewildered, Xia Qing, who had barged into the girl's room using Abedo's appearance, had already made her escape.

He was ready to head to his next destination, the place where Seven Star Keqing was.

Given that tide's identity corresponds to Mondstadt, it's time for the earlier, more secret agents to appear.

After modifying Michi's appearance to be more Teyvat-like, Xia Qing, in Michi's guise, prepared to meet Keqing.

In the offices surrounding Yujingtai, Keqing, one of the seven stars of Liyue, was looking at the documents in front of her with some distress.

Just then, her expression changed, and she looked behind her: "Who?"

As one of the Liyue Seven Stars, Keqing may not be as strong as those who specialize in combat, but she can still judge the slightest movement.

Just now, something seemed to appear out of nowhere behind me.

The first thing Ke Qing saw when she turned her head was a figure in front of her.

"I am the Geo Archon. I was severely injured by a lightning tribulation. If you lend me a million entanglements to help me gather companions and return to my throne, I will surely appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Liyue Army."

Looking at Keqing disguised as the unfinished version of the Secret Contract 2.0, Xia Qing said, "A million entanglements, that's right, my identity is the insatiable wolf of the Wolf Territory."

"Putting aside the fact that I am one of the Seven Stars, why would I need the position of Grand Marshal of the Army? Are you... trying to scam me?"

Looking at Xia Qingkeqing in front of her, she was a little stunned. Good heavens, this silver-haired child is really not afraid of divine punishment, he actually dares to call himself the Rock King in Liyue.

The Secret Contract 2.0 version slightly referenced the system, Yug and Xueyuan's appearance. Xia Qing felt that she was a bit tired of the previous 17-year-old body type and was going to try the shota body type.

Well, I've already been taught how to be a person, so I have my own set of standards.

Yog has been an Outer God for so long, and he can still use a young girl's body. It's normal for a new Outer God like me to use a snow-white-skinned, silver-haired, blue-eyed young boy's body, right? It's already good that I didn't use an infant's body.

The system, which currently only allows Xia Qing to see its virtual form in this world, nodded in response to Xia Qing's thoughts.

"That's right, it's very normal for you to use a boyish image, no, it's not."

Feeling incredibly short, Xia Qing looked at Ke Qing and thought for a moment before saying:

"Alright, enough joking. Actually, my real identity is a member of the Secret Alliance. You can just call me Secret Alliance."

The purpose of this trip is to build a harmonious Liyue, where the people are the masters of their own destiny.

Looking at Xia Qing in front of her, Ke Qing was speechless for a moment.

What is this kid talking about? What's with this "member of a secret alliance" thing? And this name... it doesn't seem like a normal person's name at all.

Could it be... that this rather cute child has read too many storybooks and imagined a secret relationship?

But... could this child be the possessor of the Eye of God? How did he appear behind me just now? Does he have the ability to teleport or move at high speed?

"In short, do you want to sign this contract with me? My existence in this world requires me to maintain a connection with a certain being, otherwise I will be banished."

If you're still worried, you can write this contract down on some paper from Liyue before signing it.

After Xia Qing finished speaking, a pure white sheet of paper appeared in front of Ke Qing, and words began to appear rapidly on the blank paper in front of Ke Qing.

Faced with this scene, Ke Qing was certain that this child was real. She had heard that there was a method of transformation among the immortals, and perhaps this child in front of her was an immortal in disguise.

This attitude is indeed not what a child of this age should have. Oh well, never mind. Xia Qingkeqing moved her wrists a little.

"Well, although you seem quite smart, it's not good behavior for a child to break into someone else's room without permission."

Of course, a child who barges into someone else's room without permission needs to be properly disciplined.

Ke Qing did not use a weapon to directly try to capture Xia Qing, but when she noticed the sudden attack, Xia Qing subconsciously dodged to the side and then retaliated with her wrist.

"Not bad strength. Just who are you?"

Keqing was not as obsessed with battle as the young master. Her sudden attack was because she had discovered Xia Qing's extraordinary abilities and wanted to test him.

She hadn't expected that her attack, which she had anticipated would land in front of the child's nose, would be dodged.

"If we absolutely have to fight, then let's demonstrate my strength through combat. I'm not qualified to let you sign this contract."

After Xia Qing responded, she engaged Ke Qing in a fight with her bare hands. Meanwhile, several dents began to appear on the walls of Ke Qing's office.

"Hebie Trading Company, huh? Now is not the time to reap the rewards. Wait until... um, what's that sound?"

At this moment, not far from Keqing's office, a figure with a calm tone, as if everything was under his control, headed towards Keqing's direction.

"Lady Ningguang, that place... seems to be the place Lady Keqing went into before."

At this moment, an ordinary-looking girl saw the direction from which the sound came and immediately knew who was inside. Ningguang quickened her pace and walked towards Keqing's location.

The newcomer was Ningguang, one of the seven stars of Liyue, and a well-known figure in Liyue Harbor.

"That sound... Is Yuheng Star at war with someone? Have assassins infiltrated this place?"

After Ningguang assessed Keqing's condition, all the combat-capable people nearby rushed to the scene. If an assassin appeared here, the guards would definitely be in trouble.

Meanwhile, in the office, the struggle between Ke Qing and Xia Qing came to an end.

Xia Qing had never tried this kind of small body before, so it was a bit awkward. The body that was temporarily formed by relying on a very small amount of conceptual power was far inferior to Ke Qing's.

Chapter 589: Ningguang: Keqing, I never expected you to have such a quirk.

"As expected of Yuheng among the Seven Stars, phew, I'm no match for you in this state. I surrender."

As Xia Qing finished speaking, she gave a French military salute, while at the same time Ke Qing's attack had already arrived.

"Huh? I can't stop it anymore."

Ke Qing, who had already exerted her strength, estimated the direction and tried to adjust her course, while Xia Qing jumped reflexively.

"What are you doing? Don't come near me! You won't even spare the children!"

Xia Qing used his secret technique, crouching to defend himself. Seeing Ke Qing preparing to punch him, he simply crouched down on the ground.

From Xia Qing's perspective, Ke Qing wanted to punch him, and he was secretly surprised that the real Ke Qing was so irritable.

However, Keqing herself didn't have that intention; she simply wanted to use the wall to support herself.

"Hmph, look me in the eye."

Sensing that the opponent was quite strong, Keqing, with her right hand on the wall, half-kneeled and lowered her left hand to grab Xia Qing's throat, lifting her up. After pulling Xia Qing up, Keqing subconsciously raised Xia Qing's head.

Realizing that her current posture was somewhat inelegant, Ke Qing pondered for a moment, then wrapped her right arm around Xia Qing's slender waist, lifted her up, and pressed her down onto the table.

???

Hey, carver, what are you doing?!

Looking at Ke Qingxia, who had pinned her down in the office, she had a deeply shocked expression. She was still in the form of an underage child. Her height and size made her look like an undeveloped teenager.

Master Carver, you can't, or at least shouldn't, start with three years. Think it over, Master Carver.

At this moment, images of Master Ke appeared one after another in Xia Qing's mind, but after the initial shock subsided, he quickly calmed down.

If I remember correctly, Keqing has no hobby of running over children with a cart. It must be a misunderstanding.
