A Compass for Avoiding Danger and a Treasure-Finding Compass?
At this moment, Ganyu suggested that Chen Luo could act as a messenger, and also explained Shenhe's situation.
The reason why Shenhe was the disciple of Cloud Retainer, but Chen Luo was chosen to do it, was mainly because Chen Luo clearly held the dominant position in this group.
To put it simply, Shenhe is inexperienced and trusts Chen Luo, so Chen Luo makes all the decisions.
Of course, another reason is that Shenhe's expression was too indifferent. Ningguang and the others were worried that Shenhe would ignore them, so they planned to open a passage through Chen Luo, who seemed quite easy to talk to. Naturally, they were willing to pay some price for this.
This isn't about bullying honest people; it's just that a transaction can only be successfully completed when someone has a need for it.
At least Ningguang knew that Chen Luo still owed Shenhe money.
"Hmm? This... I really don't know." Keqing shook her head.
"But this makes things much more convenient."
Keqing also knew that immortals were not easy to meet. Although the other party would definitely come if they knew about such a big thing, the key was that the other party could not possibly know.
Jueyun Karst is located in a remote area. The places where the immortals live are all kinds of hellish places, such as Mt. Hulao and Mt. Aocang, which are extremely high.
Furthermore, even if you arrive at the other person's cave, you might not be able to find them, because they might be traveling instead...
How can one word describe how tragic it was?
The Liyue Qixing didn't send Chen Luo avenge Liyue Qixing or Ningguang, because they knew that the Liyue Qixing were responsible for this matter and couldn't escape involvement, since it was the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.
Even if you speak out of the blue, once the immortals find out about this, they will inevitably come to hold Liyue Qixing accountable.
Therefore, Liyue Qixing only hoped that Chen Luo would try to be as fair as possible in telling the story.
"I can help you go and tell Cloud Retainer about this." Chen Luo nodded. After all, with the request in front of him, how could he refuse?
"Moreover, although Shenhe's master is the Cloud Retainer, he has a good relationship with other immortals. He has also received guidance from other immortals, so if nothing unexpected happens, he can help you speak to the other immortals," Chen Luo said, pointing to Shenhe.
Of course, although Chen Luo said that, he would definitely find the person himself and wouldn't bother Shenhe.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Ding! You have a new request!]
As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, he received several tasks.
The rewards for these tasks may vary, but the requirements are the same.
That is to have Chen Luo the course of events and its outcome to every immortal he can find.
The highest level among them is Ningguang.
[Go, Chen Luo!]: Tell all the immortals who can see the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony in a fair and impartial manner what happened above.
Rewards: 100 Primogem (100 Primogem per Immortal, maximum 400 Primogem) + random reward + +10 to Ningguang's affinity.
Difficulty: Two stars
To be honest, Chen Luo found that it was really hard to gain Ningguang's favorability.
Last time it was 10, and this time it's 10 too. Look at Raven, it sends out 20 or 30 all the time...
Because Chen Luo can save a lot of trouble, it's not just Ningguang who posts commissions; others have also posted some.
However, the commissions posted by others were all priced, with the highest being no more than 200, and all of them together only amounted to 410 Primogem.
This is probably mainly because Ningguang was the unlucky one, since it was Ningguang who presided over the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony when Rex Lapis passed away.
Therefore, Ningguang is currently the one who is having the biggest headache.
"Sure, no problem, but I can't work for free, can I?" Chen Luo agreed immediately after seeing the requests.
If Chen Luo could notify the four immortals, he could directly earn 800 Primogem.
"Hmm, do you want compensation? Of course, or rather, we were planning to pay compensation anyway." Ningguang smiled after hearing Chen Luo's words.
As a businesswoman, Ningguang always believed that there was nothing Mora couldn't buy. Since the other party was willing to ask, it meant that the matter could be easily resolved.
"I want 62,200 Mora, no bargaining," Chen Luo said decisively.
"Huh? What did you say?" Ningguang was stunned for a moment, and the others were also stunned for a moment.
How many?
"I already said, it's 62,200 Mora," Chen Luo said again.
"..." Although, Ningguang still felt somewhat incredulous.
Is that really all?
To be honest, everyone here is either a member of the Liyue Qixing or an important figure in Liyue Harbor. Each of you has hundreds of thousands of Mora at your disposal.
Perhaps the time it takes to talk to Chen Luo right now is enough for him to earn tens or even hundreds of thousands of Mora.
And you want 62,200 Mora, and even the exact amount?
"Wait, I clearly gave you a fine of 31,100 Mora, why did you ask for 62,200 Mora?" Keqing was good at math, stepped forward and pointed at Chen Luo, asking.
The 21,100 Mora fine is still with Keqing; it hasn't been handed over to the Relevant Department yet.
If you say that 31,100 Mora and 62,200 Mora are unrelated, who would believe you?
"Hmm, lost wages compensation," Chen Luo said after a moment's thought.
"To be honest, because of your relentless pursuit, I haven't been able to set up my stall for at least an hour and a half... Cough cough, Keqing, you may have misunderstood. The 62,200 Mora I want has absolutely nothing to do with the fine you just imposed on me." Chen Luo was about to argue with Keqing, but then immediately changed his mind.
What are you talking about? What 31,100 Mora? I don't know that.
"Fine, it's just 31,100 Mora, I'll pay it all!" Keqing glared at Chen Luo before throwing the fine back at Chen Luo.
"There are still 31,100 Mora left," Chen Luo reminded him.
"I didn't bring any change, and I haven't finished the mission yet. I'll give you the rest later," Keqing said with a cold snort.
31,100 Mora? Who are you trying to insult?
"Sigh, 31,100 Mora is just small change? Everyone here is so rich, and I'm the only poor one. Alright, I'll take this commission. Wait for my good news, or maybe bad news. After all, immortals aren't exactly known for their gentle temperaments," Chen Luo said.
"Sir, during the search just now, we spotted a blond stranger who was sneaking around trying to escape and broke through the encirclement. The blond stranger was also carrying a white, flying object with him." A man who appeared to be the leader of the Millelith suddenly approached and reported to Ningguang.
"Hmm, a blond stranger and a flying white creature... Chen Luo," Ningguang suddenly spoke.
"If I remember correctly, you should know that blond stranger, right? Back at Yujing Terrace, he seemed to have called out your name," Ningguang asked Chen Luo, squinting her eyes.
"Uh, sir, should we call back the brothers we sent to chase after them?" The leader of the Millelith asked Chen Luo after glancing at him.
"That depends on Chen Luo's answer, right? Mr. Chen Luo." Ningguang looked at Chen Luo.
"Ah, well, who knows? Did anyone call my name when we met?" Chen Luo asked Ningguang with a blank look.
"I see... We don't need to call back the people we sent. Let's just issue an arrest warrant according to the normal procedure." Seeing Chen Luo's appearance, Ningguang thought for a moment and then said to the leader of the Millelith.
After all, the other party ran away. Even if they had nothing to do with this matter, they must have had ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would they run away?
Is it paranoia?
Ningguang realized that Chen Luo was pretending to be stupid, as if he didn't want to get involved with the other party. In that case, let's proceed according to the normal procedure.
After all, the other party had just promised to inform the other immortals on behalf of the Liyue Qixing, so there was no need to make things difficult for them on this matter.
Furthermore, Ningguang also planned to test Chen Luo and see his reaction after issuing an arrest warrant for him.
However, Chen Luo's reaction disappointed Ningguang, because Chen Luo didn't react much, as if he wasn't surprised or worried about it.
Since both sides definitely know each other, does that mean Chen Luo has confidence in the other party's strength?
Ningguang guessed.
Chapter 326 The Auspicious and Treasure Compasses?
"Wow, is this Mona's house?" Chen Luo exclaimed, looking at the slightly old house in front of him.
After accepting the mission, Chen Luo did not seek out any immortals, nor did he use the Teleport Anchor to instantly teleport back to Mt. Aocang. Instead, he went to Mona's house first.
Chen Luo has a habit that's hard to say whether it's good or bad: Chen Luo likes to randomly insert Teleport Anchor.
Perhaps because the game only allowed one traditional anchor point in the past, or perhaps because his own Teleport Anchor was the strongest escape item, Chen Luo would basically set up an anchor point whenever he arrived at a memorable place.
If Chen Luo remembered correctly, he had at least 1,000 Primogem at the Teleport Anchor.
Of course, the number is definitely not 100. The reason there are so many is mainly because there are various modified versions of Teleport Anchor.
Although there aren't 100, there are at least 60.
In the Teyvat Continent, Teleport Anchor include, but are not limited to, the top of the Statue of the Seven, Mondstadt Cathedral, Starfall Cliff, the Knights of Favonius of Lisa, Aunt Lisa's house, Whisperwind Plains, Mt. Aocang ( in Cloud Retainer's house), Yujing Terrace, and the Geo Archon of the Seven Statues of the Seven...
And we just arrived at Mona's house.
Although Chen Luo did not give prior notice, and Mona was not informed of Mona home address, Chen Luo followed Mona's Fate Threads and arrived here.
"It's probably just a rented place, right? After all, Mona won't be staying in Liyue for long," the Herrscher of Knowledge said nonchalantly.
"But I'm quite relieved that Mona can afford to rent a place."
Chen Luo himself didn't really care that Mona was selling his things to others. After all, the other party paid for the Primogem and he gave them the items, so it was a fair trade.
Moreover, regulars at the bar are more or less familiar with the general operating principles of Chen Luo's bar.
However, Chen Luo felt that he did need to impose some restrictions on these people.
Chen Luo wasn't upset that they sold their own items for money; Chen Luo was upset that they didn't tell him about some of their requests.
However, if Chen Luo were to accept Mora, he was genuinely worried that Mona and Venti wouldn't be able to afford alcohol or food.
Or... would you like something else?
I wonder if Venti will be able to summon the Divine Power again.
This thing should fetch a good price.
Moreover, these Divine Power can be stored up and used to create counterfeit Gnosis to sell to the Fatui.
We might even be able to make some Primogem from him.
As for the others, let them come as they please; Chen Luo doesn't need their money anyway.
Just as Chen Luo was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened, and Mona came out.
"You've finally arrived. Come in." Mona opened the door and didn't seem surprised to see Chen Luo and the others.
"Astrology?" Chen Luo was slightly surprised.
Of the four people on Chen Luo's side, three were flying, while Shenhe was grounded. However, Shenhe was also highly skilled and moved with agility.
So it's impossible that Mona came out after hearing the noise.
Therefore, the only option left is water divination.
To be fair, Mona's water magic is somewhat effective.
"I suddenly want to learn astrology too..." Chen Luo muttered, looking at Mona who seemed to have a precognitive ability.
"Alright, alright, stop with the Versailles nonsense. If I'm not mistaken, you definitely possess occult knowledge or abilities that are at least on par with my astrological skills in terms of weight and level. Otherwise, you wouldn't have caught me when I was setting up my stall, and I certainly wouldn't have only vaguely sensed you when you were 100 meters away from my house." Mona's voice was filled with deep hatred for Chen Luo, this Versailles-like person.
And envy and jealousy.
If Mona's guess is correct, Chen Luo's ability is definitely at a very high level. But Chen Luo has only possessed this ability for a very short time.
So even after Mona gave Chen Luo special attention, Mona only sensed him when he got within 20 meters.
As for the 100 meters mentioned, that was obviously a lie to Chen Luo, the purpose of which was to maintain the pride of an astrologer.
Who would have thought that Mona, who now seems to have been waiting calmly for a long time, actually just rushed to the door?
"But having more skills is never a bad thing, is it?" Chen Luo said with a shrug.
"Do you think water divination is something that can be learned so easily? It not only requires talent, but also the accumulation of knowledge. The number of books that need to be read is outrageous," Mona said with a cold snort.
"Hmm, you mean I need to read books? A lot of books?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly.
"Of course, you're scared, aren't you?" Mona said, hands on her hips.
"Well, you might not believe it, but reading is my forte," Chen Luo said after a moment's thought.
You probably don't believe me, but I can read through the books you read in a year in just one minute.
Although you might have a headache for about half an hour afterwards.
