Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaofeng teleported to Liyue Harbor.
Last night, Jiang Xiaofeng spent the entire night with Nuoma and Yima, and even he felt a deep, soul-deep exhaustion.
"It's pretty good."
Jiang Xiaofeng went to a small stall next to Wanmin Restaurant and bought a plate of Central Plains Offal Supplies to try.
The grilled food tastes similar to braised offal, but the meat inside tastes a bit like pork offal. Why is that?
However, it tastes quite good.
Jiang Xiaofeng quickly finished a plate of Central Plains Offal Soup, leaving some Mora, and then went to Tian Tie Zui's storytelling spot.
"Mr. Zhongli never misses a single storytelling session."
Jiang Xiaofeng waved to Zhongli, who was drinking tea and listening to stories day after day, and then sat down next to Zhongli.
Zhongli looked at Jiang Xiaofeng and nodded slightly.
"If I'm not mistaken, young friend, you've already taken over Mondstadt City, which was under the control of the Anemo Archon."
"Then congratulations, young friend, on now being the ruler of a nation."
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand.
"Stop talking. I originally planned to beat Barbatos up and then seal him away, but Barbatos voluntarily relinquished his power, making it difficult for me to act. So I had no choice but to place him under house arrest in Mondstadt City..."
"I don't know if he'll try anything else. If he does, then I'll have to narrow down the area under his house arrest..."
Zhongli listened to Jiang Xiaofeng's words and took a sip of tea.
"Alright, Mr. Zhongli, I have nothing more to do. Please give my regards to Director Hu."
Jiang Xiaofeng turned to leave, but halfway there, he suddenly turned back.
"Mr. Zhongli, I forgot to tell you, I can solve the problem of the Azhdaha."
After saying this to Zhongli, Jiang Xiaofeng teleported away.
"..."
Zhongli put down his teacup and remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at Wanmin Restaurant and sighed as he watched Xiangling busily preparing and serving dishes.
"Alright, alright, Xiangling, you should thank your Guoba; you've been given a second chance at life."
Jiang Xiaofeng turned and left, going directly to Keqing's house.
Xiangling had no idea that she had just brushed with death.
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand and stopped Keqing, who was about to leave Void Power erupted and devoured the Vision behind Keqing, transforming it into an Void Eye, which appeared in the place where the Vision had once been.
"The offal chef, you really have to thank me..."
Jiang Xiaofeng's voice drifted like a ghost into Keqing's ears as she regained her senses.
Xingqiu, Chongyun gather.
These two guys just happened to be together.
Jiang Xiaofeng also managed to transform the two people's Vision into Void Eye.
"I hold a grudge; it was the two of you who started this."
Jiang Xiaofeng's Punishment for these two unlucky guys went far beyond turning the Vision into the Void Eye; he also left another Void Power within their bodies.
Jiang Xiaofeng could turn these two into Void creatures at any time if he wanted, and have them obey his commands.
Jiang Xiaofeng had absolutely no idea that he might be provoking Zhongli.
In fact, Zhongli didn't bother with it.
After all, they "deserved it"...
After making sure there was no one else to deal with in Liyue, Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Mondstadt.
Flora's florist has started selling roses grown by the Scarecrow;
Wagner's blacksmith shop is unusually temporarily not accepting commissions;
The Knights of Favonius, armed with new weapons, roamed around Mondstadt City.
Mondstadt City, Royal Guard patrolled the Mondstadt City in groups of three, two with spears and one with a greatsword, accompanied by an Slammer.
Outside Mondstadt, the Mr. Three Blades, the Mechanical Spider, and the Dancer roamed the forests and plains, driving Hilichurl to specific locations and avoiding Mondstadt's trade routes.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the current state of Mondstadt and nodded.
Although changes to Mondstadt City may not be immediately apparent, as time goes on, both benefits and problems will emerge, leading to concrete solutions.
The biggest problem at present is still the issue of armed forces in the hands of civilians.
After all, Jiang Xiaofeng had stored some Void Power in his statue, and anyone who worshipped it could obtain that inferior Void Eye.
Even if it's of inferior quality, it's still formed from Jiang Xiaofeng's Void Power, and the power it contains shouldn't be underestimated.
Even the weakest of them are basically characters who can beat up Hilichurl with their bare hands...
Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng still needs to utilize the power he gained from the common people.
For example, the power provided by the Void Eye could be modified to have a daily limit, or the amount of Void Power one can use could be directly proportional to their own strength...
After all, even the strongest commoners are limited; the strong ones don't even notice the Void Eye, while the weak ones can't unleash much of Void Eye power.
Yes, that's a good idea, we can give it a try.
Oh, and we also need to watch out for anyone kidnapping Mondstadt residents to extract Void Power for experiments...
Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a moment and then issued a command directly from the Void Heart: Only the Void Eye that he authorized is safe and controllable. If it is forcibly extracted or attempted to be copied, the Void Power will assimilate all living beings present, along with the host that provided the Void Power, turning them into Void creatures.
The moment the command was given, all holders of the Void Eye sensed the message.
Yes, only the holder of the Void Eye received it.
After all, the Void Eye was created to unify the power system of this world. The Void Power obtained by other people who were close to Jiang Xiaofeng resided within their bodies, and most of it served to nourish their bodies and maintain their health.
Only when they are about to fight will the terrifying Void Power in their hands be revealed.
Jiang Xiaofeng was still pondering the current drawbacks of the Void Power when he found himself at the Lawrence Clan's residence.
Jiang Xiaofeng went inside as well.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's arrival, Ryan Lawrence immediately knelt down. "My lord!"
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, and a force lifted Ryan up. At the same time, Jiang Xiaofeng spoke.
Is Eula here?
Ryan nodded.
"That traitor from the family has been imprisoned by me. He dared to speak arrogantly about your power, sir; his crime is utterly heinous..."
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand to stop Ryan from continuing, and went directly to the Lawrence Clan's dungeon.
Eula was leaning against the edge of the prison bed, her eyes closed in exhaustion.
Hearing the noise, he didn't even open his eyes before speaking.
"I told you, I will not submit to that so-called 'Lord,' so don't waste your time."
Seeing that Eula was unmoved by his words, Jiang Xiaofeng teleported her to the center of Mondstadt City.
Ryan, who arrived late, witnessed this scene firsthand.
"We've already got Mondstadt, Eula's usefulness is greatly reduced. Let's just release her and let her see the Mondstadt of today; that wouldn't be bad..."
Jiang Xiaofeng warned Ryan, "Don't provoke Eula. After all, she's the holder of the Vision, and I even killed her uncle..."
After discovering that she had inexplicably left her cell, the first thing Eula did was go back to her place and take a shower.
As a result, Eula got home, she discovered that someone had been in her house.
Eula cautiously entered, only to discover that the intruder was Amber.
After Amber explained Jiang Xiaofeng's situation to Eula, Eula inevitably fell silent.
"Do we... have no chance?"
Amber stared into Eula's eyes and said softly.
"No, Eula."
"I'm afraid we never had a chance in the first place."
