The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 169 Concept Product
The next day,

After washing and dressing, Keqing ate breakfast while looking at her already arranged schedule, wondering when she could make some free time to go look for Tian Quan, who always liked to disrupt her plans.

Let’s do it at noon. I hope she doesn’t have the habit of taking a nap - it doesn’t matter if she does.

The girl hummed softly and made the decision happily.

then,

"You did this on purpose, Keqing."

Ningguang covered her red lips with her jade hands, yawned softly, and her eyes were slightly moist.

"How could that be? I just didn't know you had the habit of taking naps."

The purple-haired girl raised her lips, trying to look innocent, but ultimately failed and shook her head: "Okay, I did it on purpose. It's your fault for always disrupting my plans."

Ningguang paused for a moment, her eyes filled with surprise, and she chuckled softly, "Well, you're the only one who's so straightforward... Then I won't be polite."

"Well, finish it early so you can rest earlier."

Keqing nodded, but couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Seriously, isn't a three-minute nap enough? You can do a lot of things in the time you save."

Ningguang looked at her and felt amused. Then she guessed something and asked in surprise, "Are you proposing to [work one more hour every day] again?"

“No.” Keqing shook her head.

"Oh, that's okay..."

"Yes, [work half an hour longer every day]. The last time I proposed this, I encountered too much resistance. I think it was because my ideas were too advanced, so I lowered the standard this time."

"..."

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?"

Keqing looked at Ningguang's complicated expression with confusion. What? Is half an hour too early?
"…It's nothing. I just thought of something insignificant. Oh, by the way, after your advocacy campaign is over, don't forget to tell me the results. I'm very curious."

Ningguang suppressed her smile, and instead of looking at Keqing’s puzzled expression, she coughed lightly and changed the subject back to business: “The reason I’m looking for you this time is…”

She told Keqing everything about the Fatui, the Talisman of No Taboos, and the storms that might be expected to break out in the future.

Keqing listened carefully and her expression became serious.

"So you want me to keep an eye on the Fatui, and preferably find their possible second factory?"

"Yes, it is not difficult to find the factory in the wilderness ruins. The difficult part is to find the factory hidden by the Fatui under the normal factory."

Ningguang nodded, her face serious: "The Fatui must want to do something with the Hundred No Taboos Talisman. Before they reveal more clues and let the truth come out, what we have to do is to do everything we can to stop anyone from using the Hundred No Taboos Talisman to carry out his conspiracy."

……

Chen Tianfeng pushed open the door and, as expected, saw his neighbor who had just pushed the door open. He was smiling, gentle and elegant.

Chen Tianfeng: “…”

Chen Tianfeng sighed and did not close the door and go back to the courtyard like he did in the previous few days - it was useless. No matter how long he stayed in the courtyard, as long as he pushed the door open, he would "happen" to meet his neighbors who were also going out.

The same goes for climbing over the wall. As soon as you jump down, the neighbor who always refreshes next to you will appear over there, smile gently, and say what a coincidence, what are you going to do, why don’t you go together…

"What a coincidence, little friend, what are you going to do? Why don't we go together?"

"Mr. Zhongli..."

"My friend, please tell me."

"Can you rephrase that?"

Chen Tianfeng was exhausted, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Also, don't you have to go to the Hall of Rebirth?" If Zhongli kept following him like this, even if he had enough taboo-free talismans, he would have no chance to go to Guyun Pavilion to chat with Osel and talk about the past.

It's really a case of karma, retribution. When he first arrived at Liyue Harbor and tried to reach a cooperation with Ningguang through Ye Lan, he was worried that Ye Lan didn't want to reason with him, so he ran to Zhongli and pestered him. Now it's his turn to be stared at by Zhongli.

"Thank you for your concern. I asked for leave from the hall a few days ago, so you don't have to worry." Zhongli remained calm.

"Then doesn't Mr. Zhongli have his own things to do?" Chen Tianfeng frowned.

“My friend, you have come to Liyue with great difficulty. What else can I do better than accompanying you on your tour?” Zhongli still smiled.

"...I am truly flattered. Thank you."

Chen Tianfeng sighed again and scratched his hair. He felt that this was not a solution and decided to bring up something that both of them knew. He cupped his hands and said sincerely, "Mr. Zhongli, I was wrong to hide what I was going to do in Liyue."

"That's all right. I can guess."

This time it was Zhongli's turn to sigh: "My friend, you came here for Osel... If possible, I really want to ask you to change your target."

"Why?"

"Guoyun Pavilion is too close to Liyue Harbor."

"Mr. Zhongli, are you worried that I am no match for Osel and want him to leave the battlefield and affect Liyue Harbor?"

"No, I am worried that you will be too involved and turn the sea area of ​​​​Guyun Pavilion into a deadly place."

"... Then Mr. Zhongli, beat Osel half to death first, and then I will eat him?"

"My actions will make too much noise, and the people of Liyue will definitely notice it. By then, it will be even more difficult to get them out of the cradle of gods."

"Then Mr. Zhongli, tell me a target who is not in Liyue and is in a similar state to Osel. I will go and find him to cause trouble."

"Diverting trouble to others is what the God of Wind does, but not what the God of Rock does."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. What exactly does Mr. Zhongli want?"

Chen Tianfeng was annoyed and stared at him: "Do you want to ask Mr. Zhongli to beat the Wind God half to death and then let me eat Him?"

Zhongli was silent for a few seconds, seemingly thinking seriously, and finally nodded: "It's not impossible."

"...Mr. Zhongli, are you serious?"

"Of course... not."

Zhongli smiled softly, pointed at the long sword on Chen Tianfeng's waist, and said, "I don't object to what you want to do, but I just want you to wait a while until the preparations I made in advance take effect."

"Prepare?"

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows, looked down at the long sword, then looked at Zhongli, puzzled: "What preparations has Mr. Zhongli made?"

"This knife can temporarily carry the death in your body. Even if you are not careful, it can delay the death for three to five years, giving you a chance to take back the death and eliminate the impact. If used properly, you may be able to release it with amazing power."

Zhongli paused, then added: "But my friend, you must remember that this burst is too damaging to the blade, so it should not be used frequently."

"Great, Lord Emperor."

Chen Tianfeng was amazed, and then he became confused: "But why didn't I sense that this knife has this function? Does it require some special activation method?"

"..." Zhongli was silent for a few seconds and looked away: "Because this knife is not finished yet."

"……what?"

Did the Rock King also deceive people with PPT concept products?
