The Geo Archon Is Assassinated, and Chen Luo Gets Fined!

Overall, this did fulfill one of Chen Luo's wishes: to receive a commission that was extremely easy to complete but offered a huge reward.

Ningguang Jade Chamber is gone, giving your own Jade Chamber to the other party is a commission with extremely low difficulty and huge rewards, isn't it?

Or... how about I take on a commission from someone to defeat the Vortex Archon, and then accidentally fail to protect it properly during the battle, resulting in the Vortex Archon destroying the Jade Chamber?

Hmm, never mind.

Although Chen Luo really wanted the Primogem, he didn't necessarily have to smash up Ningguang's Jade Chamber.

How about this: Chen Luo lends the Jade Chamber to Keqing for a few days, and Ningguang will definitely feel very uncomfortable looking at a Jade Chamber that is exactly the same as hers.

In that case, Ningguang would have two ideas: one is to destroy the Jade Chamber, and the other is to buy the Jade Chamber.

In this way, Chen Luo, the owner of the Jade Chamber, can naturally sell the Primogem for a good price.

Anyway, Chen Luo has no use for the Jade Chamber. As long as you give him the Primogem, Chen Luo 'Chen Luo agree to anything, even if you smash it yourself.

That's not right either, the Jade Chamber is a 4-star item.

I'd need to sell at least 1000 Primogem to break even...

Or is there something special about Chen Luo's new Jade Chamber?

Chen Luo hadn't actually noticed this earlier, after all, Chen Luo was quite taken aback by the name Jade Chamber.

"Let's take another look..." Having made this decision, Chen Luo continued to look at Ningguang.

"Oh, your wish has already come true? What wish?"

"Of course, I'd like to see you again, Miss Ningguang," Chen Luo said.

"Hehe, Mr. Chen Luo, you really know how to talk." Ningguang chuckled.

"So now the question is, Miss Ningguang, how can I stop Keqing from capturing me?" Chen Luo said with some distress.

Unless there are special circumstances, Chen Luo would not use the abilities of the Herrscher of Knowledge to influence the other party, because he would not be able to earn a commission that way.

"Don't worry, Keqing won't have time to catch you, Mr. Chen Luo, after a while. After all, she'll be busy with the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony soon. But if you stay here, Mr. Chen Luo, if the other party dares to come over before the auspicious time, they might really hold you down for a long time," Ningguang said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, I see. Thanks for reminding me. Shenhe, Xiao Shi, Sirin, we should go now," Chen Luo said to the others.

"Ah Luo! What are you doing here?" Just as Chen Luo turned to leave, a familiar, tender voice rang out.

"... Shenhe, Xiao Shi, Sirin, we should go." After hearing this voice, Chen Luo didn't even turn around, and repeated what he had just said, as if he hadn't heard the voice at all.

"You can hear me, right? You can definitely hear me, right?" The owner of the voice was slightly annoyed that Chen Luo was ignoring him.

"The mountains are high and the roads are long, let's meet again when the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony begins." Chen Luo clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ningguang, then took the hands of the Herrscher of Knowledge and Shenhe and quickly ran off into the distance.

After a moment of surprise, Sirin quickly flew over as well.

What happened? Why are you running?

Ningguang glanced at Chen Luo, who had run away, with a puzzled look, and then looked toward the source of the voice, where she saw a girl with short blonde hair and a mascot floating next to her.

Is this someone Chen Luo knows?

However, judging from Chen Luo's expression, it seems he doesn't want to get involved with the other party.

After thinking about it for a moment, Ningguang put the matter out of her mind.

After all, this had nothing to do with her, and Ningguang and Chen Luo weren't very familiar with each other. The other party had only carved a chessboard for her, and he hadn't even asked for any payment.

Since there's probably no chance of any further interaction in the future, there's no need to pay special attention. So Ningguang just glanced at the floating object and its owner in the crowd before heading off to another place.

Although a considerable portion of the affairs of the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony were entrusted to Ganyu, Ningguang still needed to take charge of some matters.

And looking at Ganyu, who was busy nearby, occasionally dozing off, she seemed to be working very hard. Does Moonlit Pavilion's secretary have too much work to do? Should we ask Baiwen and the others to help out?

It's also a good opportunity to give the other person a few days off so they can rest.

"Hey, Chen Luo, you definitely heard me calling you just now, right? Don't pretend you didn't hear me! You run away as soon as you see us, what do you mean by that? We even helped you complete so many requests!"

After chasing them out of Yujing Terrace, Ying and Paimon finally managed to corner Chen Luo.

It wouldn't be appropriate to talk about blocking them, as Chen Luo seemed to have already stopped there and was waiting for the two of them, but this did not quell Paimon's anger.

What? I worked for you for several days, and when we met, you just ignored me and ran away.

"I need at least 10 servings of Three-Colored Dumpling before I can calm down! 10 servings!" Paimon said angrily.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay, okay, it's only 10 servings, right? I'll give you 100." Chen Luo said generously.

"Fine, I forgive you. But speaking of which Chen Luo, why did you run away?"

"..."

Why did you run away? Of course, it's because I was worried that after the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony, they would put me on the wanted list if I ran away.

I roughly understand why you're running away, and I can stop you, but if you don't run, who will they hunt down? And if they don't hunt you down, who will drive the plot forward? It can't be me, right?

I'm just here at Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony to go shopping, not to run errands.

Unless you pay enough money.

Although Chen Luo was looking forward to fighting the Vortex Demon God, it didn't mean that Chen Luo had to run errands.

You must be the famous Traveler, right? These things are better left to you.

"You might not believe it, but I came here to cool off," Chen Luo said, telling Paimon a lie that even he himself wouldn't believe.

"I see... my foot! Do you think I'd believe that? But whatever, I'll forgive you for the sake of the Three-Colored Dumpling."

"Then I really have to thank Paimon. By the way, Ying, is that One-Eyed Treasure any good?" After Chen Luo took out ten strings of Three-Colored Dumpling to deal with Paimon, he turned to ask Lumine.

As the creator of One-Eyed Treasure, Chen Luo Chen Luo it was necessary to receive feedback from users.

"It's still very useful. Whether you're using it to travel or to eliminate other monsters from a distance, it's quite useful." Lumine gave it a thumbs up.

"That's good. Oh, by the way, let me tell you something: if you meet anyone in Liyue other than Mona, don't tell them you know me, or you might get into trouble," Chen Luo warned Lumine and Paimon.

"Huh? What happened? Did you get into trouble?" Paimon asked in surprise as he ate Three-Colored Dumpling.

"Operating without a license and illegally occupying land, while not major crimes, could lead the other party to believe you've seen me and ask you to pay the fines, which could be quite substantial," Chen Luo said seriously to the two.

You two better not say you know me, lest they put me on the wanted list too.

After all, Chen Luo and Lumine are the kind of people who don't even have ID cards.

The Traveler" sounds nice, but isn't it just another way of saying "unemployed person"?

After all, who among us is going on a trip every day?

If you can't even afford a house, how dare you go on a trip?

"What? There's going to be a fine? Ying, we absolutely mustn't tell anyone we know Alo in front of others, otherwise... otherwise... I don't have any secret stash of money." Paimon said, pulling Ying's hand.

"I'm curious, what exactly did you do to deserve such a large fine?" Lumine asked curiously.

"Geo Archon puppets, would you like to take a look? They can ward off evil spirits." Two Rex Lapis puppets appeared in Chen Luo's hands.

Even now, Chen Luo hasn't forgotten to continue promoting his products.

Chapter 324 The Emperor is assassinated, Chen Luo is fined!

The Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony is an annual day for communication between humans and gods. On this day, the Geo Archon, who is usually elusive, will appear in a half-scale, half-dragon form, allowing people to witness the Geo Archon's splendor.

Unlike the Anemo Archon, who slacks off all the time, the Geo Archon at least shows up once a year to prove that it is still alive.

This day is always the most exciting day for merchants.

Although some businessmen don't want this excitement.

During the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony, Zhongli... Morax will issue the latest divine oracle, guiding Liyue's business direction for the coming year, and these oracles always cause quite a stir.

As a commercial city, Liyue has countless merchants, and at this time of year, some are happy while others are sad.

The Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony is not like what is shown in the game, where only two secretaries and Ningguang stand there. In fact, if there are no unexpected events, the Liyue Qixing and some important people will be present to witness the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.

At least Chen Luo saw Ganyu, who hadn't appeared in the game, at the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.

And a Keqing who now seems quite serious.

Thank goodness, just as the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony was about to begin, the other party didn't try to cause trouble for Chen Luo.

Moreover, the Yujing Terrace is not the same as the one in the game. The real Yujing Terrace is quite large, and there are a huge number of people who come to watch the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony. It can be described as a sea of people.

Chen Luo's situation is not bad; at least he has the power of Herrscher of Knowledge, which allows him to unconsciously make others move to the side.

Chen Luo even spotted some Fatui and their leader, Young Childe, among the crowd surrounding the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.

Oh, and there's also Zhongli's blending in quietly among the crowd.

Hmm, are you watching your own exit performance? Typical of you.

From any perspective, Chen Luo has gained a lot this time. First, he did make a lot of money from the Primogem Chen Luo because of an agent who wanted to spy on Chen Luo. Moreover, he also helped Shenhe Chen Luo correct some of her mistakes in handling interpersonal relationships.

At least now Shenhe no longer bangs someone's head on the floor three times; she only bangs it once.

Chen Luo and his group came to the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony with Lumine Paimon, but Chen Luo and Lumine pretended not to know each other.

Chen Luo was afraid that when they issued a warrant for Chen Luo Lumine's arrest, they would also issue a warrant for his arrest.

Lumine, on the other hand, was afraid that if Chen Luo ran away, the fine Chen Luo owed would fall on her shoulders.

Chen Luo and Lumine have a great understanding of each other.

Ningguang shielded her eyes from the sun as she looked up at the sky. After judging the time by the sun's position, she lowered her hand, slowly walked to the front of the crowd, and, with her back to the altar and offerings, addressed all the spectators at the Yujing Terrace: "The auspicious time has arrived!"

Those words immediately silenced the crowd that had been whispering at the beginning, since no one dared to "offend" the Emperor during the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.

The other important figures surrounding the altar all stepped aside after hearing Ningguang's voice, which was not loud but exceptionally clear.

Ningguang's Vision began to glow slightly, and several earth-yellow gem crystals instantly formed around Ningguang from the Geo. These gem crystals began to rotate around Ningguang, and the rotation became faster and faster.

Ningguang pointed, and four Geo Gems instantly flew towards the huge furnace used for sacrificial rites, corresponding to the four corners of the Four-Sided Cauldron, and then embedded into the four devices.

Chen Luo, who easily squeezed into the vicinity of the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony surrounded by the crowd using the Herrscher of Knowledge ability, could tell that it was an elemental resonance device.

At some point, Keqing also noticed Chen Luo, who was at the front with several people, but after only glancing at Chen Luo, she continued to focus on the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.

Keqing understands the importance of prioritizing things; otherwise, she wouldn't have become one of the Liyue Qixing.

The elemental resonance device was activated, Geo energy surged forth instantly, forming a huge pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

Seeing this, Chen Luo was quite curious about how Keqing, who had hosted the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony last time, had lit up this elemental resonance device.

After the yellowish-brown beam of light disappeared into the clouds, it stirred up a huge funnel-shaped cloud layer.

Before the onlookers could finish their astonishment, the huge funnel-shaped cloud was suddenly invaded by darkness. The original cloud was instantly eroded into dark clouds, obscuring the sky and earth, which looked extremely ominous.

Ningguang's expression changed slightly upon seeing this scene.

This doesn't seem like a normal scene of the Geo Archon descending.

It looks like something really bad has happened.

Sure enough, the next moment a colossal object fell from the funnel-shaped cloud, crashing down on the overturned altar, scattering offerings all over the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

After the smoke cleared, everyone discovered that what had overturned the altar was actually a lifeless divine body, and instantly everyone was thrown into chaos.

Seeing this, Ningguang quickly took two steps forward and stood in front of the Emperor's lifeless divine body, then squatted down to examine it.

Ningguang examined the Emperor's body with a grave expression before standing up. With a wave of her right hand, she shouted urgently, "The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"

Upon hearing Ningguang's voice, the Millelith, who were guarding outside Yujing Terrace, quickly and orderly poured into the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony site, forming a ring around everyone inside Yujing Terrace.

The swift death of the Geo Archon and the rapid entry of the Millelith caused some panic among the surrounding people, leading to a crowd that began to swell. However, intimidated by the weapons and numbers of the Thousand Millelith Army, the crowd gradually dispersed under their guidance and was then checked one by one.

Then... Chen Luo noticed Keqing walking towards him.

"..."

No, are you only interested in me?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Luo realized that he did indeed seem to be quite suspicious.

First of all, Chen Luo was one of the suspicious people who were too close to the scene. Because Chen Luo was in one of the closest positions to the scene, Keqing was able to lock onto him immediately.

Secondly, Chen Luo's identity is also problematic. Chen Luo is the kind of person who has neither identity documents nor temporary certificates, belonging to the "three-no" group.

Moreover, Chen Luo's power is quite special. To those unaware of the situation, Chen Luo possesses the power of immortal mechanical arts, and his other powers are also exceptionally mysterious. At least, the power of the Vision has not yet been revealed.
