Genshin Impact: I develop mobile games in Mondstadt

Obviously, she didn't think Zhongli could untie it.

However, Zhongli spoke at this time:

"—a little understanding of the doorway."

Wan Yan was taken aback.

"Huh...???" [-].

Chapter 121: Jealous of the power of the Demon God of Salt? Are you serious?

"Tianheng is in the south, Yaoguang is in the east, Jueyun is in the west, Qingce is in the north..."

"Traveller... with these tips, you must have an idea, right?"

Follow Zhongli's prompts and light up the elements behind the obelisk in different directions in order.

As expected, a strange light emitted from the seal.

"Look! The seal has really been opened! As expected of Mr. Zhongli!"

Wan Yan was very excited and admired.

Zhongli remained humble: "I only know a little bit."

"It's time for people to know the secret that has been hidden for a long time."

Arriving at the entrance to the seal, Zhongli turned around and said seriously:

"Before entering the ruins, I have a suggestion to avoid the unnecessary quarrel in Guyun Pavilion."

"Please two of you sign a contract. The content of the contract is: [Take the items in order, one piece at a time]."

Wan Yan and Clement immediately disagreed.

One thinks that the other party will only destroy the cultural relics left by the Demon God of Salt.

The other person felt that it was impossible to share the harvest equally with this half-baked archaeologist.

"Then...if the contract cannot be established, I can no longer serve as a consultant."

"What treasures and traps are hidden in this ruins? It depends on the experience of the two of you to identify them."

"This, this...oh, I really can't believe this guy."

Clement looked troubled,

"Okay, since it's the sealed relic of the Demon God of Salt, even if you can only get half of it, it's still enough money."

Wan Yan also said: "You want me to agree to the contract... That's fine. I only have one request, Mr. Zhongli."

"If you discover the truth about the Salt Demon God, please make a fair judgment, even if the truth is detrimental to Morax."

Wan Yan obviously respects and recognizes Mr. Zhongli very much.

Because this Mr. Zhongli is different from other ordinary scholars.

He does not blindly believe in the power of Morax.

She even felt like she had found a kindred spirit...

"This is the exchange, I can accept it."

"Then let's go."

…………

Fly into the ruins below.

Needless to say, the space underground is quite large.

There are also many stone ambers scattered inside.

It just so happened that Zhongli's breakthrough materials required a lot of stone amber.

The person passing by was Shi Po, so the players took advantage of it.

There are still many ores in other gaps, but at this point in the plot, most players are looking forward to the next development.

For resources such as ores, just wait until you complete the mission before mining them.

The entrance to the secret realm, the mystery in the salt...

[The seal has finally been unlocked, and the relics and stories of the Salt Demon God are in the depths. With completely different purposes in mind, the group moves forward...]

Entering the ruins...

The screen turns.

What caught the eye were two white statues in strange postures.

"This, this is... a statue?"

"No, they are humans." Zhongli said solemnly.

"Eh?!"

Clement was suddenly startled.

"These people are probably followers of the Demon God of Salt back then."

"How did it happen?"

Clement was a little panicked.

"What is hidden deep within the ruins?"

Wan Yan's tone also contained some uneasiness.

As we move forward, we can see humans transformed into salt sculptures everywhere in the ruins.

Their postures were weird, and they looked like they were desperately escaping from something.

Soon, a round jar appeared on the altar in front.

"This one is half filled with salt."

Wan Yan observed carefully.

"It's just a salt jar. It seems that the Demon God of Salt is a poor Demon God."

Clement crossed his arms, a little dissatisfied.

"As far as I know, it's not ordinary. It's only half, but there's always half—in other words, endless."

"What?! Even if I keep pouring it outside, won't the salt inside be reduced?"

"Exactly."

"It can produce endless salt. Sure enough, the power possessed by the Demon God of Salt is very powerful!" Wan Yan said excitedly.

Clement was even more excited.

"After struggling for so long, I finally met my treasure! This thing belongs to me!"

"I just need to pour out the salt and make tens of thousands of bags. I can make a fortune just by selling salt!"

"Hey! How can the legacy of the Salt Demon God be used for such a superficial thing!"

Seeing that the argument was about to start again, Zhongli said:

"If Mr. Clement wants this salt cup, then according to the contract, the next item belongs to Ms. Wanyan."

"No problem, no problem, haha, how could there be anything more valuable than this?"

Clement was very satisfied.

But soon something more valuable appeared.

"Hmph, it's just a ruler, it doesn't seem to be useful."

At this moment, in front of everyone, there was a measuring stick with a simple shape.

Like the salt cup just now, it was enshrined on this stone table.

"This is...if I remember correctly, this should be a measuring instrument?" Wan Yan asked tentatively.

"That's true, but the Demon God of Salt also has authority here."

"Once the salt stick is inserted into the ground, the soil will be covered with salt like rising water."

“The deeper you go, the more grains of salt you get, in other words, a [harvest] of salt.”

"This...isn't this more powerful than a salt lamp?!" Clement was shocked.

"Then, according to the contract, this salt ruler belongs to Ms. Wanyan."

"No! I don't agree! I paid for the money and organized this exploration. Why should I suffer!"

Clement immediately said righteously,

"And this little girl is useless at all, why give her something!"

"He did it after all..." Pamon shook his head and sighed.

Zhong Li's tone suddenly became serious: "Does that mean you want to break the contract?"

"So what if it's destroyed? I can almost understand the mechanisms in this ruins, so you are no longer useful."

Clement was completely unaware of his situation and continued to speak unscrupulously,

"After all, I am the one who hired you, so why should I do things according to your rules?"

"Because you made a contract... The Rock King once said, [Those who break the contract after it is completed shall be punished by eating the rock.]"

Zhongli was still explaining to him seriously.

From the player's perspective, this is Zhongli's last chance for Clement.

"Dare to violate the contract in front of the emperor, my dear fellow! I would like to call this researcher from the Solstice Kingdom a true warrior!"

"Warning from heavenly tremors!"

"Zhongli has given him a chance, but he doesn't cherish it..."

The players even sympathized a little with this fool.

Next, at the moment when its health bar lit up.

It's like a star smashing down from the front.

His harvest was also confiscated by Zhongli.

"I can't pretend it's archaeological exploration anymore," Paimon sighed.

"Don't let Pamon be like him in the future."

The traveler tried to calm down the solemn atmosphere.

"I like Mora, but I don't do bad things!" Pamon defended with his little waist

"Clement's mistake was greed, but besides greed, there were also many temptations to break the contract."

Zhongli sighed,

"Faced with [the desired object], how many people can restrain their desires and abide by the contract..."

"Well, let's take this opportunity to make it clear."

"In fact, no one in this temporary archaeological team is here to do archaeology."

"Why, why do you say that?" Wan Yan asked nervously.

"Madam, you lack the most basic knowledge of archeology and don't know a few cultural relics, but you are extremely proficient in the knowledge of the Salt Demon."

"Compared to archeology and cultural relics, you are more interested in the Demon God of Salt."

"As far as I know, the legends about the Salt Demon God you mentioned in Zhutianfang are the most popular in [Yinyuan Hall]..."

"No, stop talking!"

The words had reached this point, and Wan Yan could no longer hide it.

"Sir, you are indeed knowledgeable and talented. I mustered up the courage to ask you questions. It seems to be the right choice."

"——That's right, I'm not an archaeologist? I come from one of Liyue's [Seven Stars and Eight Gates], the [Yinyuan Hall] in charge of the salt industry."
