Chapter 193: The Emperor's Statue Ready to Begin Construction (One More Chapter Added Today)
Liyue
"Hmm~ It's so comfortable. I finally don't have to do commissions continuously." Ying opened the door and stretched.
"I didn't expect that because Luzi informed General Raiden, Xinhai was captured by General Raiden himself." Paimeng agreed: "This way our commission on Kaiji Island will be put on hold for a while."
"However, after resting for such a period of time, I have recovered. Let's see if there is anything else to do." Ying nodded.
Browsing the information, he saw Ningguang's commission and shouted in surprise: "Huh? Ningguang is going to rebuild the Qunyu Pavilion. The time is this morning and the location is Yujingtai. Let's go and have a look. As the number one in Liyue, A rich woman will definitely make a lot of money."
"Well, I understand the truth, but what the hell are you, a rich woman? Although it sounds very suitable for Ningguang." Paimon scratched his head and said.
"Hey, I heard this from Liusu. It is used to describe a very rich woman." Ying explained.
"So that's how it is. Let's go there quickly so that Mora can eat something delicious." Paimon agreed excitedly.
By the time Ying and Paimon arrived at Yujing Terrace, many people were already gathered here.
"You must have seen my commission. Recently, I plan to rebuild the Jade Pavilion. However, this is not the main thing. The most important thing is that our Seven Stars are prepared to fund the construction of a magnificent emperor statue." Ningguang saw Ying and Paimeng arriving. He spoke.
"What? Build a statue of the Emperor? Is it like the statue of the God of Wind in Mondstadt?"
"Yes, I have also seen that there is a very tall statue of the God of Wind in Mondstadt's square. Do we in Liyue also want to build one?"
"We must go all out for this emperor statue without making any mistakes. Emperor Yanwang has done so much for Liyue, especially since Skynet has improved our lives."
"I understand without you having to tell me."
Ningguang smiled and listened to the craftsman and adventurer talking in low voices below and said, "Everyone, please listen to me."
"This time the statue of the emperor was proposed and approved by the Immortal Family and Liyue Qixing. Moreover, this statue is not a simple statue, because the Immortal Family participated in the construction process of the statue. The statue is also accompanied by the abilities of the Immortal Family, and We are here to protect our Liyue Port from the erosion of wind and rain. Everyone in the Xian family is almost ready, and we will need to work together later."
"It sounds like a big project, and the Xian family is involved."
"Damn it, it turns out Lord Ningguang has such a deep meaning. If what he got was to build the statue of the emperor, the building materials would not skyrocket so much." A craftsman murmured.
"Hey, let's contact other people quickly and ask them to lower the price. We can't make such a loss by building the statue of the emperor."
"Okay, okay, things are not what you think. The emperor's statue does not need building materials. The building materials are all provided by Liyue Qixing. You only need to help build it. Qunyu Pavilion is mine. As a businessman "It's normal for you to make this kind of money." Ningguang said.
"I see, I just don't know what materials are used to build the emperor's statue?" an adventurer asked curiously.
"Well, there is only one material for building the emperor's statue, and that is Mora." Ningguang said.
"What?! Maura!"
"Mora! Wow, are they really going to use Mola to build a statue? If they build a statue as big as Wendy, Mola will cost at least tens of billions. Is Liyue so rich?" Paimeng heard this. Later, he also exclaimed.
"How else did Morax come from? It would be reasonable to use Morax to build the statue of Morax." Ying replied.
"I wonder if Master Ningguang needs my help?" A craftsman asked.
"I have prepared the building materials before, but there are still a few things that need to be entrusted to you now, that is, there are still three crucial items about Qunyu Pavilion that have not yet been found."
"These three items are Mingxia Fusheng Stone, Qianqi Core, Xianjia Talisman Compilation, and Xianjia Talismans."
"Excuse me, except for the floating stone, I have never heard of the latter two." A craftsman asked.
Ningguang explained: "Only the floating stone with a large enough size can be called Mingxia. This is the basis for ensuring that Qunyu Pavilion can lift into the air. The Qianqi core is the core of the mechanical structure in Qunyu Pavilion."
"As for the Immortal Talisman Compilation, its function is to effectively combine mechanical devices with Immortal magic, which is also indispensable."
"Although they are three rare things, with your connections and abilities, it should only be a matter of time before you find them all."
"Soldiers are expensive and fast, everything depends on efficiency. I will buy the materials you find at a good price. In addition, the first three people who find all the materials will get an opportunity to ask me questions."
"No matter what the question is, I will answer it. I believe that as a reward, you will not be disappointed."
"Although this thing is difficult to find, if you can ask about Liyue Port's plans for next year..." A craftsman named Chang Gui touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
Another businessman echoed: "That's a sky-high price business. Whoever gets the information from Master Ningguang will have the upper hand..."
"Haha, what a coincidence! I just heard rumors about the floating stone not long ago. Everyone, please excuse me, I will go first." After that, he left.
"Damn it... let's set off quickly, we can't be beaten by others!" Chang Gui also agreed.
"Well, why don't you ask about the Emperor's statue?" Paimon asked curiously.
A businessman replied: "There is no need to ask, because we will naturally arrive on the day of construction, and we don't ask for payment. This is our responsibility as the people of Liyue. If it doesn't work, I have to leave quickly. I am looking for materials." I can’t lag behind in anything.”
Paimeng scratched his head and looked at the people leaving. He spread his hands helplessly to Ying and said, "Let's go ask Ning Guang about the specific matter."
Ningguang saw Paimon and Ying coming up, smiled and said to them: "You all heard what I just said. What do you think? Are you interested in participating in this matter?"
"Are you talking about building a statue of the emperor or a jade pavilion?" Paimeng asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's the construction of the Qun Jade Pavilion. I don't have that much power over the construction of the emperor's statue. This is supervised by the Immortal Family personally, eh, especially the person who made this suggestion." Ningguang replied. .
"Well, Liusu is very concerned about this matter?" Paimeng scratched his head after hearing Ningguang's words.
"Okay, let's not mention this anymore. When the immortal family's talisman is ready, the work on the emperor's statue will naturally start. This is not something I can worry about." Ningguang changed the topic.
"The Immortal Family Talisman? Didn't you mention before, Ningguang, that you need the Immortal Family Talisman? Since all the Immortal Family are preparing, why don't you go get one, uh, I mean buy one?" Paimeng asked doubtfully.
"Hey, I also had this idea, and I also told the Xian family about it, and the result is"
"what's the result?"
Ningguang spread his hands towards Paimeng and said: "The result is that the statue of the emperor needs too many talismans from the Immortal family. They have no time to help me at this time, so I have no choice. Compared with the Jade Pavilion, the statue of the emperor is more important." for important.”
"So, now I can only ask for everyone's help to see if I can get other immortal family talismans that are wandering around."
Paimon nodded and said, "So that's it."
"Can I really ask anything?" Ying asked expectantly.
"As long as I know anything, I can tell you the truth." Ningguang nodded.
"Then I will accept this commission." Ying put her hands on her hips and nodded.
"The reconstruction of Qunyu Pavilion occupies a large area. I will arrange the address in the abandoned mine outside the Golden House. Send all the collected materials there." Ningguang continued.
"Ah? The materials in the Jade Pavilion are all outside, so what is that pile of cloth behind you that looks like a hill?" Paimon asked doubtfully.
"Haha, of course these are the materials needed to build the emperor's statue. The Immortal Family and Liyue Qixing are collecting them." Ningguang replied.
"You said the mountains behind this are all Mora!" Paimon thought of something and exclaimed.
"Of course, because this is the only material for building the emperor's statue, the Fu Luxian family is still rushing to make it, so they didn't send it over." Ningguang nodded.
"So, how many are there here?" Paimon asked.
Ningguang touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "About more than 300 billion, right? The number is still increasing. I don't know the specific number. The other Liyue Seven Stars are raising money for this. When the day of construction starts, it will be even higher than now. many."
"Wow, although I knew that building a statue of an emperor was a luxury, I didn't expect that I was already so shocked even before I saw the materials." Paimon turned to the screen and said, "It would be great if we had so many Mora. "
"Okay, we have to be busy with the emperor's statue for a while, and I also have to pay attention to the construction of the Jade Pavilion, so I won't accompany you. If you get there, just contact my secretary directly."
"Be sure to pay attention to the time. Don't let others take advantage of this rare opportunity." After saying that, Ningguang left.
"Let's go there quickly. Just like Ningguang said, we can't let anyone else take advantage of this opportunity." Paimon suggested, "Hey, the atmosphere over there seems a little subtle."
Ying followed Paimon's gaze and saw a white-haired woman having a conflict with two people.
"Looking at that dress, she looks a bit like Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, but obviously not. It's so strange." Paimeng scratched his head and said: "Although she is not Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, I think she is the same as Liuyun Borrowing. Feng Zhenjun has some connections, let’s go and ask.”
fluorescent:"."
You've said it to this extent, can't I just let it go?
When Ying and Paimon approached, they heard a man say to the woman: "Miss, I see that you are personable and have an extraordinary temperament. You are the one who will be the best in the reconstruction of the Jade Pavilion this time. "
"We have information about those materials here. Come, let's find a quiet place to talk."
The woman refused coldly: "No need."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left.
"Don't say that, oh, don't leave!" The man shouted anxiously at the woman's back.
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you follow me?" the man said to the man next to him.
"Yes Yes!"
"Uh, they just left like that? Let's follow them and take a look." Pamon said, scratching his head.
On the platform below the Yujing Terrace, Paimon and Ying saw the two men blocking the woman in the middle.
"Miss, you finally have nowhere to run this time." The man said to the woman.
"Well, why are there people like this in Liyue now? Aren't they afraid?" Paimeng scratched his head and asked.
Ying replied: "The world is so big and full of wonders. As Liusu said, there are always some idiots who don't know how high the sky is and how high it is. Didn't they see that the woman has the eyes of God? However, you are right, Liyue still has this This kind of person is beyond my imagination.”
"Don't worry, we are not bad people. We can get valuable information in exchange for a little money, so no one loses."
The man next to him said hesitantly: "Boss, I always have a bad feeling. You see, her temperament is obviously different from others, and her hair is white. She doesn't look like an ordinary person..."
"Besides, the style of her clothes seems a bit like Secretary Gan Yu's now. How about we leave?" the follower continued.
"What does the style of the clothes mean? We finally met a fat sheep. If we don't kill her, how can we repay our gambling debt?" The man said seriously with his arms folded.
"Wow, these two are still betting. Isn't this forbidden? How about we call Qianyan Army and arrest them." Paimeng said to Ying.
The woman still said coldly to the man: "I said, I don't need your information."
"If you didn't hear it just now, let me repeat it one last time."
After listening to the woman's words, the man rubbed his head and said, "Oh...Miss, you said you are such an old person, but you don't have any common sense at all."
"It's not a question of whether you need it or not. Just take out the money and give it to us."
"Wow, they are still robbing? In Liyue Port? Who gave them the courage? Zhongli?" After listening to the words of these two people, Paimeng seemed to have been refreshed in his world view.
"It seems a bit outrageous indeed. Why are there two people like these?" Ying said while touching his chin. It stands to reason that such people would basically not appear in Liyue Port.
The woman said: "I"
"Don't try to quibble." The man said loudly:
"I saw it before. You first went to Liuliting and ordered a large table of dishes, and only tried a few bites. Then you went to Wanmintang and Xinyuexuan and ordered all the signature dishes. Again, everything was just the same. have a bite."
"If you weren't a rich girl, how could you have such extravagant habits? Since you are so rich, why don't you share some with us?"
After listening to the man's words, the woman fell into deep thought: "Although Master has warned me not to do anything in Liyue Port."
"Forget it, maybe this is fate." After the woman finished speaking, a blue talisman appeared in her hand. As the talisman was activated, a string of blue talismans surrounded her.
This also made the two of them realize that something was wrong. The follower said worriedly: "Boss, I feel something is wrong."
The man said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? It's not illegal for us to sell information. If she dares to take action, we will sue her and bankrupt her!"
Suddenly, Paimon and Ying came here with two Qianyanjun and pointed at the two men and said:
"Qianyan Army, they are not only gambling, but also openly buying and selling in Liyue Port. We just heard everything."
"Oh? It's you two again." A Qianyanjun said looking at the two men in front of him.
The man pointed at Ying and Paimon and threatened: "Qianyan Army? Why did Qianyan Army come and it was you who did it? Humph, mind your own business, believe me or not?"
"Shut up! You dare to threaten others, right? Come with us!" Qian Yanjun interrupted.
After listening to Qian Yanjun's words, the man quickly gave up and said: "Haha... Don't be angry, sir. Please listen to me and explain to you slowly..."
"Boss, it's over. I told you not to rob in Liyue Port. Why didn't you listen? Now I was caught by the Qianyan Army." The follower said in pain.
"If you owe so much money, don't you have to take risks? You must know that their methods are beyond our ability to compete with." The man said: "It's okay to be caught by the Qianyan Army like this, at least you don't have to pay for gambling debts." Things are worrying.”
The follower exclaimed: "Boss, you are really smart!"
"That is, otherwise why would I be your boss." The man said with his hands on his hips.
Paimon: "."
fluorescent:"."
In the end, the two men were captured by the Qianyan Army, but the smile of the leading man made Paimon a little confused.
"Well, it's strange why there is a casino in Liyue. No, it seems there is. It seems to be at Beiguo Bank, but few people from Liyue go in. If they are caught, they will be fined and imprisoned." Paimon spread his hands and said, "So what he said about hiding from gambling debts is to avoid debt collectors from fools, right? It's a pity that his cleverness was used in other places."
The woman: "."
"Are you okay?" Ying asked curiously.
The woman was silent for a while and suddenly said: ".Shen He."
Paimon asked in confusion: "Shen He?"
Shen He opened his mouth to explain: "My name."
"Oh, so your name is Shen He! My name is Paimon, and this is Ying!" Paimon nodded.
"I've heard about you. Just now, thank you for helping me out." Shen He replied.
"Although I can solve it myself. According to my judgment, as long as I grab that person's head and knock it on the ground three times, he should be subdued."
"Wow! No, you can't use such violent methods!" Paimon quickly reminded.
"I think you're right. For that kind of person, your method is very good." Ying had a different view on this.
"Wow, how could you think that?" Paimon asked.
"This is what Liusu said. It is better to use violence than brains to deal with some people." Ying answered as if it was a matter of course.
"Who is this Liusu you are talking about? His ideas are so similar to mine. I think I can come to ask for advice." Shen He said, touching his chin.
"Hehe, you guys better not ask for advice on this." Paimeng said with a tangled face.
