Kalpas vs. Tartaglia... (In Mourning)

Among them, Grandma Ping said that Ningguang's willingness to give up Jade Chamber was a very commendable thing, because Jade Chamber was really important to Ningguang.

At the time, Yingke was quite moved by Ningguang's decisiveness, but as soon as she came to investigate, she heard that Chen Luo was going to smash up Jade Chamber.

"It wasn't me who smashed it; it was in the original destiny that Jade Chamber was supposed to be destroyed."

"Oh, do you understand now? So you want to maintain the stability of fate, right?" Ying's excited heart calmed down a little.

Although Ying doesn't understand anything about fate, she always felt that something like fate going astray seemed like a terrifying thing.

"..."

No, I just want to sell the Jade Chamber that I have.

Looking at Ying, who was inexplicably worried and wary over there, Chen Luo thought to himself.

Seeing Chen Luo deep in thought, Chen Luo assumed he was trying to resolve a major issue related to the fluctuations of fate, so she didn't disturb Chen Luo.

[Ding! Mission complete]

The sound of the mission being completed woke Chen Luo from his reverie.

Killing Osial doesn't mean the special mission is complete, because the Archon Residue he left behind could still threaten Liyue Harbor. But now that the Archon Residue have been absorbed into the Childhood Fun Park, this threat has been eliminated, and the mission is now completely complete.

Talent Upgrade Card! Why?

Although he had mentally prepared himself, Chen Luo was still slightly disappointed when he saw that he had obtained the Talent Upgrade Card.

Why? Why not Skill Upgrade Card?

While generally speaking, Skill Upgrade Card are not as valuable as Talent Upgrade Card.

After all, skills can indeed level up automatically once you reach a certain level of proficiency, but talents have an upper limit. Once that limit is reached, no matter how hard you try, you still can't level up.

Therefore, Talent Upgrade Card are more valuable than Skill Upgrade Card.

Chen Luo also admitted this, because if Furniture Mastery were removed, Chen Luo would indeed want the Talent Upgrade Card, but the problem is that Chen Luo already has Furniture Mastery.

Although he received a more valuable reward, Chen Luo was still a little disappointed because the reward came at an inopportune time.

However, Talent Upgrade Card are already quite precious, so there's nothing to complain about.

"Sigh, this battle was really tough." Chen Luo stood up from his chair at the very edge of the Jade Chamber and sighed.

"Ah, right, right, to be honest, with all the buffs you gave Infinite Serpent, even if you put them on a pig, it could still beat Osial." The Herrscher of Knowledge sitting on Chen Luo's shoulder said perfunctorily.

The entire battle was like Infinite Serpent beating up its younger brother.

However, because Infinite Serpent needs to attack and eat at the same time, it seems a bit slow; otherwise, 10 minutes might be enough to beat the opponent into a state of complete incapacity.

The key issue is that Chen Luo is rather stingy; he insisted on waiting until he was tired of the Infinite Serpent before finally killing Osial.

"And what about me? Didn't you say you were keeping me to deal with the Archon Residue of the Vortex Archon God? You did it all by yourself, what's the meaning of that?" The Herrscher of Knowledge said, grabbing Chen Luo's hair.

I sat on your shoulders and watched the show for almost an hour, and then you tell me the matter is resolved?

"Hey, I originally thought the Archon Residue of the Vortex Archon would be harder to deal with. With just the protective silk thread shield woven by the Herrscher of Domination, maybe some remnants would spill out, and then you could step in, right? But I didn't expect it to be completely contained... If you want to blame someone, blame Osial." Chen Luo said that he wouldn't take the blame.

"Emmm..."

The Vortex Archon was reduced to ashes, so how can you blame the other party?

"Everyone, the Archon Residue have been almost completely purified. Next, I'm going to see what's left. Anyone want to come along?" Chen Luo called out to the immortals and the Liyue Qixing who were arguing fiercely behind him.

"I want to go!" Ying immediately raised her hand.

Although Ying was placed in the middle as a judge by both sides, she was qualified as a traveler, Honorary Knight of Mondstadt, and half a representative of Chen Luo.

But Ying didn't like these things at all, because she couldn't understand them at all.

The immortals and the Liyue Qixing knew that Chen Luo would definitely understand.

But seeing Chen Luo sitting there with a bitter and resentful expression, Ningguang assumed that Chen Luo was monitoring the shield's every move, so she told everyone not to disturb Chen Luo.

If Ningguang knew that Chen Luo wasn't worried about the remnants of the Demon God, but rather was thinking about how to swindle her, she might just grab the Jade Chamber and fight Chen Luo.

Because this matter involves a wide range of people, everyone intends to go down and find out, including the immortals and the Liyue Qixing.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the almost empty giant net slowly rose. After it rose to the surface of the water, it suddenly unfolded like flower petals, revealing what was inside.

When Ying and the immortals landed on the unfolded platform in their own ways, they stood steadily on it without sinking into the sea.

On that plane, only a small portion of the Vortex Archon's body remains, along with a round bead that only Chen Luo can see.

Under the watchful eyes of the immortals, Chen Luo put the remnants of the demon gods and his own Childhood Fun Park into his backpack, without feeding them to the Infinite Serpent, since the remnants of the demon gods were also good materials.

Anything that survives the Heavenly Fire: Unleashed must be something good; there's no doubt about that.

It even contains the essence of the Vortex Archon, which is a valuable item.

As for that round ball dropped by monsters...

[Sea God Authority - Residual]

These are the spoils that fell from the Vortex Archon.

Although the talent panel states that killing enemies does not guarantee item drops, you don't need to worry about this if your enemies are of high quality.

I finally managed to kill a demon god, and you're telling me I didn't get any materials? That doesn't make sense, does it?

Yeah, it was so hard!

[Sea God Authority - Residual] (S-rank Talent): You are the overlord of the sea, the eternal god of all marine creatures.

As the Vortex Archon, Osial naturally possesses the power to control the sea, but this power is incomplete.

"Hmm..." Chen Luo stroked his chin thoughtfully as he looked at this ability.

To say whether Osial is strong or not, it is definitely strong.

Although to the average person it appears to be just a brutal, hand-to-hand combat with Infinite Serpent, the most intense clash of powers actually takes place underwater.

Even during his weakened state, Osial was able to hold out for so long against the Infinite Serpent, which was empowered by various outrageous abilities, demonstrating the immense power he wielded.

"Is this what you call divine power? Even just the incomplete power has reached S-rank. If it were collected completely, it might become SS rank, turning into the sea god Poseidon?"

Chen Luo felt that the Sea God Authority referred to here did not only refer to this world, but was applicable to many more worlds.

Because if judged solely by the standards of this world, the sea power of the Vortex Archon is not incomplete, but rather weak.

Judging by this standard, Zhongli's powers might only be crippled, and Venti's would probably be the same.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo threw the item into his backpack, keeping it for future use.

Chen Luo did not use it immediately because Chen Luo felt that the best effect would be obtained if it was synthesized first.

Moreover, even without using it, holding this sphere allows one to utilize a portion of the Sea God's power, much like Esper Crystal.

However, the difference is that this thing cannot be replicated, which is truly a pity.

Otherwise, Chen Luo would immediately make a grand vow after returning to his own world.

May everyone in the world be like a dragon.

What's the big deal?

Chen Luo directly wished that everyone in the world would be like a god!

"Alright, things are settled, I should get going now, bye-bye." Standing on the platform made of silk threads, Chen Luo said to everyone.

"Hey, are you leaving already?" Ying suddenly stopped Chen Luo and said.

"The fight's over, why aren't you leaving for the Lantern Rite?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the other person.

"I was originally planning to have you join me for a celebration banquet, Chen Luo. It would be at the Jade Chamber," Ningguang said.

"... Don't mention Jade Chamber to me anymore, thank you," Chen Luo said, clutching his chest.

Chen Luo was heartbroken that he couldn't sell Jade Chamber.

"Oh, why?"

"Hmm, I'm so envious that you have the Jade Chamber." Chen Luo blurted out.

"Yes, the Jade Chamber is indeed my pride, a unique treasure in the world." Ningguang stood on the platform woven from silk threads, looking up at the Jade Chamber flying in the sky.

"Unique... What if someone were to create an exact Jade Chamber?" Chen Luo asked, a sudden inspiration striking him.

"Buy it or..."

Destroy it!

Ningguang didn't utter a word, but her meaning was clear.

"Oh, I see. By the way, Ningguang, what you just said—that as long as I defeat the Vortex Archon, you and Keqing will both owe me a favor—should still stand, right?" Chen Luo said.

"Naturally, it counts," Keqing stepped forward and said.

"Okay. I might contact you later, so be prepared."

"Get ready, what are you going to do?" Keqing's heart skipped a beat.

After completing the mission, all Liyue residents' favorability towards Chen Luo increased by 30.

"You'll find out when the time comes," Chen Luo said, without saying it immediately.

Chen Luo couldn't very well tell Keqing in front of Ningguang, "I'm planning to lend you my Jade Chamber so you can leave this thing floating in the sky for a while and then wait for Ningguang to come and buy it," could he?

Beg me, beg me and I'll sell you the Jade Chamber

As for destroying Chen Luo's Jade Chamber...

Chen Luo didn't think Ningguang would do something so unwise, knowing that Jade Chamber was in her situation.

Even if we disregard that personal favor, we should at least consider the death of the Vortex Archon.

So... I won't sell it for less than 1000 Primogem!

Of course, this is just an idea.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I plan to donate 750 million Mora to support the post-disaster reconstruction of Liyue Harbor." Before leaving, Chen Luo suddenly remembered something else.

"I saw it just now. Although the waves from the fight didn't reach Liyue Harbor, many ships were inevitably damaged. The losses must be quite significant. If no compensation is provided, it could cause some damage to Liyue Harbor's economy," Chen Luo said.

"So I'd like to ask the two Liyue 7 stars to use this money properly. But we can't do this by using favors, can we?"

"The favor will not be wasted. Not only did you kill the Vortex Archon, but you also provided a large sum of money to support Liyue's post-disaster reconstruction. On behalf of all the residents of Liyue, please allow me to express my gratitude to you," Ningguang said with a smile.

"Thanks are fine, but remember not to mention my name when you use this money for disaster relief and reconstruction."

"Oh? Doing good deeds anonymously?"

"Leave your name. Who said I wouldn't leave my name? It's just that it's not mine," Chen Luo said.

"So, are they planning to keep us here?" Ying popped up.

"No, keep Zhongli's," Chen Luo said.

"???"

What does this have to do with Zhongli? This is the question in the Herrscher of the Heart know Zhongli.

Who is Zhongli? This is a question in the Herrscher of the Heart do not know Zhongli.

"I wonder if I can give this Geo Archon candidate right to someone else. It's definitely useless to me, but... what if I give it to Zhongli?" Chen Luo thought to himself as he looked at one of the rewards he had just received.

The 750 million Mora were naturally used to boost Zhongli's reputation.

Although they have lost the Geo Archon, I believe that under the leadership of the New Geo Archon Zhongli, Liyue should be able to continue to move forward steadily... right?

Chapter 373 Chijie vs. Childe... (Mourning face)

Chen Luo left, but not completely.

Chen Luo originally intended to leave, but then he received a commission, so of course he had to complete it.

"By the way, Chen Luo, could you help me find Zhongli?" Ying asked Chen Luo.

Go find it yourself.

"Please don't do this, please." Ying looked at Chen Luo with a hopeful expression.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Finding Zhongli]: We found Zhongli.
