Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

Osel can be called the legendary king of endurance. He relied on the advantage of the sea to survive from the Demon War to the present.

Li Qingping remembered that Prince Yan had gone to the sea to cause trouble for him some time ago, and Lei Dianzhen's sister, who was said to be invincible in the world, had also slashed Osel a few times.

This Osel survived.

Li Qingping didn't think he was any stronger than the two men before him, but he also didn't want Osel to live.

Now he could only hope that the knowledgeable Lei Dian really had some solution.

"Originally, I was helpless, but since Diekarapian helped you transform into a demonic body, I now have a solution."

There really is a way!

Li Qingping almost hugged Lei Dian and gave him a kiss.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Prepare me one billion Mora gold coins. Then just go find Osel. If you don't kill him, I'll give you my sister as compensation!"

Lei Dianzhen originally wanted to compensate ten times the Mora, but considering his sister's limited ability, Inazuma thought that the treasury must be empty, and the 10 billion Mora would be wasted, so it would be better to give away the compensation.

"If you don't want your sister, then kill Osel!"

Having made up his mind, Li Qingping walked out of the Liyue Police Station and happened to meet Tartaglia at the door.

Tartaglia paced along the steps with his head down and a frown on his face, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

It's so strange. Even if the executive of Zhidong kept his head down in Liyue, he wouldn't end up in such a situation, right?

Li Qingping was very curious, but ignored it and went around Tartaglia from the other side.

"After all, we have some acquaintance. Wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't even say hello when we bumped into each other?"

After taking a few steps, Tartaglia caught up.

"You're going to the General Affairs Department and then to the Liyue Police Station. You're really a busy man now."

Li Qingping was not surprised that Tartaglia knew his itinerary. After all, the Fatui were the sharp blade in the hands of the Ice Queen. If they couldn't even figure out this little thing, there was no point in staying in Teyvat.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Qingping asked.

"Originally it was just personal matters, but now there are both official and personal matters." Tartaglia chuckled.

"Fight with you?" Li Qingping still remembered what Tartaglia said before he left.

"That's a private matter. We can talk about it later. Let's chat about other things." Tartaglia rubbed his hands, suppressing the fighting spirit in his heart, "I'm going to meet the disqualified stragglers."

"As former colleagues, shouldn't you chat more?" Li Qingping was a little surprised. He didn't know why Dadalia suddenly mentioned the scattered soldiers.

Fortunately, Lei Dianzhen said that she was going to catch up on her sleep, otherwise she might have been angry again when she heard the name Sanbing.

"Including this time, we've only met twice. I came to Liyue to ask him for something."

"what?"

"The Doctor once obtained several Hundred Unrestricted Talismans, which could break immortal spells. Sanbing took them from the Doctor under the pretext of going to Liyue on a mission. But you know, he didn't even have orders from the Queen, let alone any mission."

This was the first time Li Qingping heard of the "Hundred Unrestricted Talisman" and he immediately frowned: "He gave it to you?"

"He told someone else!" Tartaglia said solemnly, "That's what I was worried about. That thing could even release the demon sealed by Lord Kokumo, Morax!"

"You guys really love to cause trouble to others in the winter." Li Qingping felt a headache after hearing this.

Osel hasn't been dealt with yet, and suddenly there are several more demons that may be released at any time. Things are becoming more and more troublesome.

"As an executor, I guarantee that we, Solstice, have absolutely nothing to do with this matter!" Tartaglia raised his hand and swore in Solstice's direction. "The Fatui in Liyue will cooperate with you, and I will be at your disposal!"

"Okay, I'll report it right away." Li Qingping called Gan Yu again and relayed the situation exactly as it was.

Gan Yu said she received it and then hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Commander Li Qingping, Tartaglia is at your disposal!" Tartaglia saluted Li Qingping with a standard winter military salute.

"Still..."

Li Qingping originally wanted to say that he didn't need you now, but he suddenly remembered that the Northland Bank was the money bag of the fools, so he changed his words immediately.

"Is there a way to get the money? I need Mora gold coins."

"How much?" Tartaglia thought it was a difficult task. It was unrealistic to ask him to find the Hundred Taboos Talisman in one day. But when it comes to money, it's not too easy. "Forget it, I'll give you 10 million Mora first!"

"Too little."

"Then 20 million Mora."

"Not enough."

"How much do you want?"

"A billion?"

Tartaglia: "..."

Tartaglia was dumbfounded. Even though he was the executive officer second only to Zhidong, it was difficult for him to take out 1 billion Mora gold coins in one go.

"This...I have to go back and discuss this with my colleagues, and then ask Her Majesty the Queen for instructions." Cold sweat kept coming out of Tartaglia's forehead.

"Can the funds be allocated once the request is approved? Can it be collected in one day?"

"Transferring the money is no problem, but...it'll take at least two days. They'll need time to discuss it even if I send the information back, right?"

"Then write an IOU in the name of the executive officer and withdraw 1 billion from this card."

Tartaglia saw Li Qingping running into the Liyue Police Station, calling out a police officer holding a camera, and taking out paper and pen, even preparing carbon paper underneath.

"Write the IOU and I'll keep it here as evidence. We Liyue people won't take advantage of you, Zhidong. Take the copy below and hand it in."

Tartaglia was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What was the difference between this and robbery? He really didn't think Li Qingping had 1 billion yuan in his card.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, even if Zhidong was at fault, he would not sign this unfounded IOU.

But before he left, he was summoned by the Ice Queen and told some things.

So...

"Can you please not take the photo of my face?" This was Tartaglia's only stubbornness.

"No, what if Zhidong refuses to admit it?"

Li Qingping refused outright. Although the police officer nearby didn't know what he was doing, he still strictly followed Li Qingping's order and recorded the entire process of Dadalia signing the IOU.

Director Li must have his reasons for doing this!

After receiving the IOU, the originally annoying Tartaglia became pleasing to the eye.

Li Qingping patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go find a place to spar! Oh, and have your men raise the money for this card!"

At least I can still satisfy my urge to do something, right?

Tartaglia comforted himself in this way and sent the card number to his subordinates at the North Country Bank.

But his subordinates' answers once again exceeded his expectations.

"Mr. Executive, there are 40 billion in the card."

Volume 1: 136. Kamisato Ayaka: Keqing can't come? That's such a pity!

Tartaglia remained silent for a long time until the voices of his subordinates on the other end of the phone began to tremble and they thought he had committed some unforgivable sin.

"Nothing, just prepare a small treasury and store some Mora gold coins. I need them tomorrow."

"I understand, but what about the money in this card?"

"...Let's talk about it after I withdraw the money."

After Datalia hung up the phone, he saw Li Qingping handing him a copy of the IOU. He reached out to take it, and his tone became nervous.

"Where did you get so much money? I heard you just took the position of Director of Huishan Hall. Could it be..." Tartaglia spoke cryptically, deliberately lowering her voice. In the end, she even pulled Li Qingping away from the police officers. "Liyue won't allow such a thing. We have to leave a way out! Our Zhidong is actually a good place. The Ice Queen doesn't mind you..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Qingping stopped talking immediately. If he let Tartaglia continue, he would doubt whether he had really embezzled so much money. "That's my girlfriend's dowry."

"Which girlfriend?"

Li Qingping was confused. You looked so stupid just now, how come you became smart now?

He even knew which girlfriend to ask!

Li Qingping didn't want to continue to argue with him on this issue, so he immediately raised his voice: "Soldier Tartaglia, listen to my orders!"

"Sir, please give me your orders!" Tartaglia subconsciously stood up straight.

"Go find a car and let's go spar."

Tartaglia had no choice but to let the Fatui accompanying him drive them to the place mentioned by Li Qingping.

……

……

……

"Ordinarily, this place doesn't receive foreign envoys, especially those who come uninvited."

At the Inazuma Embassy in Liyue, Kamisato Ayaka, wearing a blue and white home dress, blocked the door to stop the uninvited guest she mentioned.

——Tadalia.

This guy is the Winter Solstice Executor, and his former colleague tried to assassinate Kamisato Ayaka a few days ago.

It is neither reasonable nor moral for Kamisato Ayaka to let Tartaglia in.

As for Li Qingping, Kamisato Ayaka naturally made room for him and let him in while also asking him about his well-being.

The weather has been getting colder recently and you're likely to catch a cold easily since you don't wear any clothes. You should put on more clothes.

What? The embassy’s chef has found a batch of fresh ingredients today, so it’s a good time for us to have dinner together.

Li Qingping's alarm bells rang, wondering if the scheming Princess Bai Lu was planning something against him again, and he tried to fend it off by using formulaic social rhetoric.

But that was not the meaning in the eyes of Tartaglia standing by.

This girl is also preparing to compete for the job and become Li Qingping's girlfriend?

The situation is unclear, so let Commander Li take action personally!

Tartaglia didn't say anything. She stood obediently outside the door, looking around and admiring the scenery on both sides of the road, but she didn't look at the two people inside the door.

"Ambassador Kamisato, please be flexible. The Thunder God is far away overseas and can't rule here. You have the final say over the Inazuma Embassy in Liyue. Lend me the kendo field today. I'll use this executive officer to vent my anger on your behalf."

If someone else had written this about Thor, Kamisato Ayaka would have drawn her sword with a cold face and fought him to the death, but this person was Li Qingping.

All signs indicate that Lord Thunder God of the castle tower needs to take his feelings into consideration, even to the point of almost trying to please him.

So in principle, Tartaglia cannot be allowed to enter the embassy, ​​but the principle is different when it comes to opening the door.

"It's not impossible—" Kamisato Ayaka stretched out her words, looking very embarrassed, "but you have to stay at my place for dinner today."

It turned out that they were just eating, but Li Qingping thought they were going to eat people!

"Absolutely no problem, and didn't Keqing say that you also called her today? We can go together then." Li Qingping felt relieved.

Kamisato Ayaka had a subtle expression on her face and nodded with a smile.

She did ask Keqing out, but as the saying goes, the real purpose is not the wine but the scenery. She invited Keqing to dinner not to eat with her, but to ask her to bring someone along.

It's like if a girl on campus has a crush on a boy in her class and wants to ask him out shopping and eating, she will most likely take a roundabout approach, first finding the boy's good friend, and then say that it's boring to go out alone, so she'll call her best friend and you can call your good friend.

Once you've invited the person out, have your best friend remove the distracted person, and it'll be a perfect date for two.

Of course, the situation on Kamisato Ayaka's side is more complicated.

From the solo circle of friends that Keqing carefully prepared, Kamisato Ayaka had already seen the clue - Keqing and Li Qingping had most likely confirmed their relationship and were dating.

And she became a bad girl who coveted other people's boyfriends.

But it doesn’t matter. When Kamisato Ayaka fell in love with Li Qingping, he was still Shen He’s boyfriend.

A lot of debts are never a burden. Kamisato Ayaka is now fully motivated and ready to do something big.

As the saying goes, "Destiny changes, divine artifacts change, and they will return to people with virtue. This is the law of nature." Kamisato Ayaka feels that she is now that person with virtue.

As for Keqing....

She had borrowed the relationship of Yae Gongshi and inquired with Yue Haiting's secretary general, and learned that Keqing was very busy and could not spare the time.

Be busy, it’s better to be busy!
