Chapter 173 Old Father and Unemployed Young Man Living Alone

Zhongli failed to reject Hu Tao, just like an old father facing the care of his good daughter, no matter how he behaves on the face, he is always happy and relieved in his heart. As a result, Chen Tianfeng's neighbors changed from a lonely and pitiful old man living alone to a happy father, daughter, or grandfather and grandson.

Every morning, the father and daughter would knock on the door of Chen Tianfeng's courtyard. After having breakfast together, Hu Tao led Zhongli, and Zhongli took Chen Tianfeng. The three of them went to Shengtang to have a meal together, and then Zhongli and Chen Tianfeng were free. Activity time.

There is a kind of mature and sensible good daughter who, while taking care of her confused old father, also doesn't forget to take her old father's poor neighbor with her - an older unemployed young man living alone.

Chen Tianfeng felt mixed. He wanted to ask Zhongli how long it would take for the sword to be raised, and why the two of them had to be present at the same time to raise the sword.

But after thinking about it, I still didn’t ask.

It's not easy for old man Zhongli. It's better not to embarrass him and make him look sad and think of other reasons.

After a few days of leisurely life, Chen Tianfeng could clearly feel the gradual change in the atmosphere of Liyue Port, as if he was ready for the storm to come. There are many more Qianyan troops in the city, and the Fools' activities in Liyue Port are also restricted.

During their last trip together, Dadalia took the initiative to reveal his identity to Chen Tianfeng and Zhongli, saying that he was not a businessman of Zhidong, but an executive of the Zhidong Fools. He originally concealed the matter for a reason, and had to explain it for a long time.

The honest boy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhongli and Chen Tianfeng were not angry, nor did they alienate him because of his status as an executive. He also explained that Qixing had been very wary of the Fools for some reason recently, and he wanted to temporarily withdraw from the three-person group to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Zhongli and the others.

During this period, Ye Lan came to the small courtyard and took away the Imitation Machine of No Taboos stored in Chen Tianfeng's Eye of God. She walked around the small courtyard specifically before leaving, looking quite satisfied.

Northland Bank,

The door that had been closed for many days finally opened. As soon as Dotore went out, he saw Dadalia leaning on the wall and looking bored. His eyebrows were slightly raised under the mask. He imitated Dadalia's tone that day and said in surprise: " Dadalia, why are you still here?”

"You finally came out...wait, why can't I be here?"

Dadalia frowned and crossed her arms: "I haven't completed the mission assigned to me by the Queen. Where else can I go if I'm not here? You said you would help me complete the mission, but I've seen what you have arranged these days. , I don’t see how you plan to find the God of Rock. You’re not lying to me, are you?”

It was the God of Rock who lied to you. The most I could do was conceal it... Dotore was too lazy to pay attention to this stupid warrior and said calmly: "Of course I have my own reasons."

"What's the point?"

"The reason why the plan can be completed smoothly."

"Including letting your men run away to Guiliyuan?"

Dadalia expressed his incomprehension and said: "Let's not mention the Immortal Invitation Ceremony that will be held in Liyue in a month. I just want to talk about the Immortal Inquiry. The place to go should be Jueyunjian. 伱Why do you want them to go to Guiliyuan? Do you think Emperor Yan will go to Guiliyuan to remember his past before the ceremony?"

"of course not."

Dotore thought for a moment and changed his excuse: "It's okay to tell you - because there are no taboos."

"No taboos?" Dadalia was confused.

"Yes, the factory was destroyed some time ago. Although it can be rebuilt, not only is there not enough time, Liyue Qixing is also obstructing it. I think even if it is rebuilt by chance, it will not be long before someone discovers it and then destroys it again. In this case, it doesn't matter. It’s better not to try to rebuild in the first place.”

"Don't rebuild? But I remember that the number of Baiwu Tabu is not enough?"

"That's why I want to go to Guiliyuan." Doto Lei nodded: "The most important thing in imitating the Baiwu Tabu talisman is the aura of the devil in the talisman. Coincidentally, there are many such things in Guiliyuan."

"That's it." Dadalia scratched his hair, thought of something immediately, and smiled: "It seems that you finally used my method to release the ancient demon god, so that the rock god would have to appear, instead of always Avoid us."

No, the God of Rock has no need or reason to hide from you, and He is right beside you, but you, the warrior, didn’t notice it... Dotore glanced at him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Yes, your idea Very good, I admit that your brain exists."

"...Are you saying this as a compliment?"

Dadalia frowned at him and waved her hand: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you... What have you been busy with these days? You've been hiding in the house for so long and haven't come out."

"A work, a perfect work."

Dotore smiled, opened the door sideways, and softly invited: "Do you want to come and take a look?"

"why not?"

Dadalia raised her eyebrows, took two steps forward, opened the door, and looked into the room.

The room that Dottore transformed into a laboratory was not as gloomy as he himself, with plenty of light, good lighting, and extremely clean and tidy.

Dadalia entered the laboratory and looked around with a surprised expression.

"What are you surprised about?" Dotore wondered.

"Your laboratory..." Dadalia turned to look at him, thinking carefully about his words: "I thought it would be the kind of, well, the kind of dark and messy mess that people in the world rumored to have. Just looking at it would make people feel uncomfortable or... The evil look of fear... do you understand?"

"It's just the foolish opinion of the world."

Dotore looked calm and said: "It's dark and messy... How can we do experiments if the laboratory can't even do the most basic things of being bright and clean?"

As he spoke, he came to the glass culture chamber in the center of the laboratory and pulled off the white cloth covering it: "Look, this is my work."

Daddalia cast a glance and then narrowed his eyes: "This is..."

"A surprise, or rather, a test."

Dottore lowered his eyes, peered through the glass, and raised the corners of his lips a little.

I'm really looking forward to it. What kind of answer will He give?

...

No. 8, Lane B, Chihuyan,

Zhongli stood in the courtyard, looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and sighed.

One by one, they are restless...

He looked helpless, pursed his lips, closed his eyes lightly, and when he opened them again, his golden eyes suddenly lit up, with the indifference and depth of a god, and also the coldness and accuracy of a machine.

The God of Rock began to calculate, the God of Rock made deductions, and the God of Rock made a choice.

After a long time, the god came to a conclusion and closed his eyes.

Zhongli opened his eyes, sighed again, turned into the room to get a box of tea, then went out, turned right, and knocked on the neighbor's door.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

"You are still awake, haha, what a coincidence, the tea I ordered a few days ago has just arrived, would you like to try it?"
