Arthur's request to borrow the Heart of God did not make Zhongli show any expression. Even if Arthur had not inherited the position of the God of Wind and had already made a deal with others, he would not mind lending the Heart of God to him now. Arthur.
But it's just a loan. Although there is an intention to take advantage of the contract, since the contract will not be destroyed, it can be used to add an extra layer of insurance to the plan.
"Oh, it doesn't hurt to lend it to you. I'm not curious about what you want the Heart of God to do, but it is the Heart of God after all. According to common rationality, the value of the Heart of God is even immeasurable, so what can you give."
"I do need your help for something. If you can help me achieve it, I can lend you the Heart of God."
"Please enlighten me."
"First of all, because it is borrowed, you need to return the Heart of God to me when I need it. Secondly, you need to help me achieve a plan."
Zhongli revealed his plan to borrow Xian Dian Yi to fake his death to Arthur, hoping to see if Liyue could survive the test with her own strength. If she could face the test he had set, then he could succeed. After he matures and retires, he no longer appears as a rock god and continues his earthly life.
If Liyue is not strong enough to complete the test, then he will take action, and then continue to wait for Liyue to grow up to have the strength to deal with the crisis without his own protection, and then retire.
"I hope that you will not interfere with the progress of my plan while knowing the whole story, and at the same time help me advance the plan. When the test begins, the contract will be completed."
In this regard, the two signed a verbal contract. Although there was no paper document, neither of them would regret it.
In fact, Zhongli's idea was very simple. He just wanted to see if the chick he was sheltering could continue to move forward in the storm.Otherwise, how could the young master's little moves escape Zhongli's eye? Everything is just Zhongli pushing the flow.
After confirming that he only needed to successfully start the test, his mission would be accomplished. There were no other conditions. Arthur asked with a trying attitude.
"Then when the time comes, if you pretend to die, can you and I do a V sign in front of your grave? I want to take a photo as a souvenir."
Even Zhongli, who had been calm all this time, couldn't stop twitching at the corner of his mouth when he heard Arthur's words. It was not without reason that Barbatos asked Arthur to inherit the position of the God of Wind. The two of them were indeed very similar in some things.
"can."
After getting Zhongli's approval, Arthur left and went to the market to buy a video camera. Of course, the bill was sent to Keqing's house.
In the next few days, Arthur repeated the cycle of cooking at home, then going out to drink tea and watch a movie, then sending the bill to Keqing's house, and then inviting Keqing to have dinner with him.
It wasn't until Arthur lived in Liyue for half a month that he saw the blond Silly (check out)... traveler Ying and her emergency food (check out)... partner Paimon who came to Liyue.
Arthur did not choose to meet and greet Ying, but left alone, returned to his residence, and waited for the incident to begin. After all, Ying still needed to do the work that promoted the development of the incident.
Excluding the week when he came to Liyue from Mondstadt with a group, and the two weeks when he lived in Liyue, there were only a few days left before the ceremony of inviting the immortal, but Ying did not waste time to come. During this period, the two It's not that people don't exchange letters, but after all, the letters are sent with the caravan, and there are already several days between each time.
As for the teleportation anchor?After the first letter was sent, I remembered that I could still send it, but I remembered that the money I spent to send the letter could not be wasted, so I did not send it.Although the money was actually paid by Keqing.
During this period, he kept accounting three times a day and sent the bills to Keqing's house. Many people in Liyue knew that Keqing had become Arthur's external wallet, and there were even a lot of strange news and rumors. Scandal.
But everyone was talking more after dinner, and no one was jealous or challenged Arthur. The two of them didn't come forward to explain anything. When someone asked about Keqing, they just said it was a reward for Arthur. .Everyone only thought that Arthur was a guest under Ke Qing, just like Mr. Zhongli, the guest at the Hall of Purity.
Of course, some people suspect that Ke Qing is keeping Arthur, and even doubt the relationship between the two, but most people cannot imagine that a workaholic like Ke Qing can fall in love.This statement was not taken seriously by everyone.
"Arthur, the Fairy Ceremony is about to begin. Do you want to go see it?"
Unknowingly, Keqing had been developed by Arthur into the habit of coming to Arthur's house for dinner at night. Sometimes, in order to miss the meal, she would even work half of overtime and go home with the remaining work to do.
On the night when she met Ying, Keqing came to Arthur's house as usual. After hearing Keqing's inquiry, Arthur put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and said:
"Of course I want to go. After all, I also want to see the emperor (how he died)."
"In that case, let me take you to take a closer look. As my guest, compared to other people watching from the outside, I can be relatively close, and there are seats."
At that time, Arthur agreed to Keqing's suggestion. Although he had firmly established himself as Keqing's guest minister, spending Keqing's money every day and doing anything really was just a job.
Speaking of Ke Qing working overtime every day, she wished that the people around her were the same as herself, but since the last time she went out, Ke Qing had not mentioned work to herself.
But seeing Keqing getting more and more tired every night after the ceremony of inviting immortals, something went wrong, and Arthur said it.
"Don't work tonight and have a good rest."
"But the job isn't there yet..."
"Leave it to me today. After all, I rely on you to support me every day. Let me do some serious work."
"There is no way to support you. It's obviously just a reward."
In the end, Arthur took over Ke Qing's work, but because the content of the document involved many secrets in Liyue, he couldn't do it in his own room, so he had to go to Ke Qing's boudoir.
As soon as Keqing entered the room, she was forced to the bed by Arthur.
"Don't think about working today and have a good rest. If you are tired from inviting Xian Dianyi, there will definitely be more work."
In this way, Arthur lit a lamp in Keqing's boudoir and dealt with the work that Keqing had brought back, while Keqing pulled up a screen in front of the bed.
Hearing Keqing's steady breathing, "Have a good rest."
In this way, the first time Arthur came to Keqing's boudoir was to deal with the work left by Keqing.
Chapter 71 A day with Qingqing
[In recent days, the number of Qiuqiu people around Liyue Port has gradually decreased, and tourists have increased. Should we reduce the number of Qianyan troops going out and call back members to patrol Liyue Port? 】
[Yesterday, it was discovered that there were suspected members of the Fools who frequently entered and exited Beiguo Bank. Do we need to send more manpower to guard Beiguo Bank? 】
[Recently, some tourists have reported that XX Hotel has significantly increased room prices in recent days, and previous tenants have used various reasons to let others check out, and then sell them at high prices. 】
[XX Chamber of Commerce has recently sold at high prices...]
After looking at various documents, it basically happened because the Immortal Ceremony was approaching. Arthur also proposed solutions to various documents one by one.
Then write below each file.
[Patrols and expulsions of Qiuqiu people are carried out on a shift system. Three groups of members form a cycle every day. In the morning, group A is responsible for expelling Qiuqiu people, and group BC is responsible for patrolling the harbor. If no Qiuqiu people are encountered, group A will return. Join the patrol team behind the city. If there are Qiuqiu people, after dealing with the Qiuqiu people, Group B will continue to expel the Qiuqiu people outside the harbor in the afternoon. In this cycle, it must be ensured that there is someone responsible for patrolling outside the harbor at each time. Are there any Qiuqiu people near the official road? 】
[In addition to the members who were previously on duty at Beiguo Bank, the Qianyan Army who is responsible for patrolling. If there are no Qiuqiu people outside the country, they will send a group of half of the members to patrol near Beiguo Bank. Always pay attention to the situation near Beiguo Bank. If they find the situation, they will report the content Report to the team leader, who will consolidate and send it to Yuehai Pavilion. 】
[When encountering those who have raised prices recently, make a list and send it to Qun Yu Pavilion. Let Ningguang be responsible for punishing the stores that have increased prices during the Immortal Requesting Ceremony period. At the same time, contact Yan Fei to find out who maliciously increased prices in Liyue Law. Penalty regulations are sent to all businesses as a warning. 】
After processing all the documents, Arthur stretched and stood up.
The problem is relatively easy to handle. The reason for the shortage of manpower in Liyue is that each position has its own duties, and those responsible for seeking opinions outside must have sufficient time to rest to prevent injuries in battle, such as those responsible for overseas When expelling Qiuqiu people, if there are no Qiuqiu people that day, they will patrol outside for a day, and then let another team take charge the next day, and then the first team takes a rest. Although the safety factor for passers-by is improved, the work efficiency is not enough. Therefore, the modern evil shift system and the method of performing other tasks in spare time were proposed.
As for those who raise prices, it will be easier to deal with them. Those who are emboldened and maliciously raise prices are the heads of some chambers of commerce. Let Ningguang handle it, which can solve the problem easily. As for those who raise prices but are not so blatant, let Yan Fei educates them on the law. Although the law on profits has clear requirements, there are still people who take risks in order to raise profits that far exceed the actual profits.
Normally, forget it, but I don't mind beating them during the ceremony of inviting immortals.
After processing the files, Arthur placed the files neatly on the table for Keqing to check tomorrow. Then he turned off the lights, opened the door carefully, left the room and closed the door.
As for secretly taking a look at Keqing's sleeping position, Keqing didn't even warn herself. If she really did it, her own conscience would not be able to bear it.Although I really wanted to see if Mao Maotou would loosen his bun when sleeping, he still controlled himself with his remaining conscience.
The next day, after a long sleep, Keqing got up from the bed. Because of the adequate sleep, her physical fatigue disappeared instantly, and she felt that she could handle the work much faster today.
Then while dressing up, he came to the table and looked at the documents that Arthur was handling.
"Is this still possible?"
In the past, malicious price hikes would happen every year. Most of the time, Ningguang would step in to stop the merchants when they went too far. Usually, Qian Yanjun would only be responsible for giving verbal warnings. Unexpectedly, he could directly kill their price hikes at the root. .
As for the patrol issue, the Qianyan Army, which had been expelling the Warcraft and Qiuqiu people outside, was responsible for the one-on-one-off rotation system. Unexpectedly, they could stay for half a day, and then after the expulsion, they would participate in the patrol mission in Liyue Port.
Keqing even wants to implement this method directly within the Qianyan Army. Even if it is just not recognized, it can only be used as a temporary solution when there is a shortage of manpower. It can also solve many problems. Just ask Xian Dianyi a few days ago, Presumably no one will object.
Even before breakfast was eaten, Ke Qing hurried to the office, proposed several measures, and then asked the people below to implement them.
But unexpectedly, the implementation went extremely smoothly, and there was not even a rebuttal. From the perspective of the person in charge of patrolling, it was a whole day anyway, so there was not much difference. The person in charge of fighting abroad saw that he only needed to After running around outside for a long time, you can return to the city when you have nothing to do. You don't need to face the wind and sun, and there is no objection.
As for those merchants who maliciously raise prices, if it weren't for Qian Yanjun's identity restrictions, some people would want to throw those who raise prices out of Liyue. After all, doing so would embarrass Liyue.
After the plan was distributed, everyone performed their duties, which immediately alleviated most of the problems. Even Keqing, who had to work all the time, was not so short of manpower due to the system change, and even had time to take a rest in the office.
"Lord Keqing, someone wants to see you."
The voice of the secretary on duty came from outside the door.
"come in."
After Keqing finished speaking, the secretary opened the door. After sending the visitor into the office, he turned around, closed the door and left, continuing his work.
"Hey, Keqing, I brought you breakfast."
This person was Arthur. He saw Keqing leaving in a hurry early in the morning. He didn't look like he had eaten breakfast. When he was buying breakfast, he asked the store and learned that Keqing didn't come for breakfast today. After that, he packed a breakfast and went to Keqing's office.
"Thank you."
Keqing took the breakfast and started eating it, without stopping what she was doing while eating. Although she no longer had to go out because of the adjustments to the patrol system of the Qianyan Army, there were still countless documents that she needed to handle by herself.
"And the idea you proposed is very useful. I have sent people to implement it, so I can have a moment of leisure."
Keqing, who was eating hot breakfast and processing documents, said to Arthur sitting next to her.
"You're welcome, I'm just suggesting some ideas."
Just like that, the two stopped talking. Under the sound of Keqing picking up and taking away documents one by one, Arthur sat aside and slowly drank the tea in Keqing's office, while being in a daze.
It wasn't until Keqing stood up and stacked the documents together that Arthur looked at the time. It was already noon, which meant that he had been drinking tea in Keqing's office all morning.
"Let's go have lunch."
The two opened the door and walked out. Under the surprised eyes of a group of secretaries, Arthur took Keqing to Wanmin Hall for lunch.
After eating, Arthur paid the bill, and of course the bill was sent to Keqing's house.The two of them separated, Keqing continued to go back to work, and Arthur wandered around Liyue Port for a long time.
"Arthur!"
Chapter 72 Please Xiandianyi
"Arthur!"
A voice came from behind, and the voice was very familiar. When he looked back, he saw that Ying was walking towards him with Paimon waving.
"Long time no see, did you miss me?"
"?"
Looking at Ying who seemed to have been taken over by the cv next door, I was a little curious as to whether Ying had been through something during this time, or whether she had been taken over by someone from the studio next door.
"Paimon, has Ying been seriously ill recently?"
"?"
"Forget it, come with me first and let's talk while we walk."
Finally, he came to the teahouse where he and Zhongli met for the first time. After asking the clerk to open a private room, he ordered two snacks and a pot of tea, then walked into the room with the two of them and closed the door.
"So, you guys have been doing missions for the Adventurers Association in Mondstadt, and then you came to Liyue when the time came?"
"Yes, Arthur, listen to me. Mond is asked to run errands or clean the house every day. For the past half month, Ying and I have almost become nannies!"
After knowing the situation, no wonder Ying seemed to have been mixed up at the beginning. Unexpectedly, Ying finally turned into an emotionless commission machine. With the Knights returning to normal operations, the Adventurers Association's commissions have now become a set of nanny tasks. .
But I didn't expect that nothing happened in Mondstadt. After all, as the protagonist, his experiences should be colorful, not to mention frequent disasters. Why was he so stable during this period?
"Arthur, how are you doing?"
After talking about his current situation, he said that his mouth was dry, and then he took a sip of tea before asking Arthur about Arthur's current situation.
"Ah, I'm about the same."
You can't say that you are "supported" by Keqing every day, just fish and drink tea.I also work every day (cooking) and then get paid (bills sent to Keqing's house).
"By the way, Ying, do you and Paimon have a place to stay?"
After saying that, Arthur felt a little regretful. After all, the two of them had lived together for a while in Mondstadt. At that time, they could still live together as comrades-in-arms. But now, after such a long time, it would be a bit strange to live together as soon as they met. Some strange news came out, not to mention that Keqing came over for dinner every day.
"We have found it. Now we are waiting to invite the Immortal Ceremony and meet the Rock God."
"Speaking of which, you are already the God of Wind. Have you never seen the God of Rock in Liyue?"
"Based on general ideals, I have never seen Morax himself in Liyue."
What does your search for Morax have to do with me knowing Zhongli? Ying, I didn't lie!
"Arthur, you are also weird. What is a universal ideal?" Paimon finally acted as a complainer.
In the end, Ying did not leave with Arthur, but took a step ahead. Looking at the direction of departure, it seemed that she was going to the Adventurers Association to pick up a mission again.
It's okay that he didn't keep up with him, otherwise without Ying as a lead, he still doesn't know what the young master will do for the heart of God, and what Zhongli will push for the smooth progress of the trial. Another reason is that his intuition tells him that if If you take Ying home by yourself, something terrible will definitely happen.
Time skipped to the time for the fairy invitation ceremony, and Qiqing knocked on Arthur's door early in the morning.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the venue."
It was obviously still some time before the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, but the venue was already crowded with people. Keqing took Arthur directly to the Yujing Terrace, and saw a row of chairs around the venue, apparently reserved for Liyue Qixing. and some other responsible persons took a short rest before the ceremony of inviting immortals to begin.
As for ordinary people and tourists, they are now waiting outside the venue. In Yujing Terrace, only Ningguang and her two staff are checking the on-site preparations. Other than that, there are only a group of Qianyan troops guarding around the venue.
Seeing Keqing and Arthur coming over, Ningguang didn't stop what he was doing. He just nodded and continued to take stock of the on-site preparations.
After checking several times, I found that there was no problem, so I sat down on my seat and waited for the auspicious time to arrive.
