Chapter 467

~6 min read 1,178 words

Regarding Hu Tao's idea, Paimon's evaluation was: "Good method! He will definitely be very willing!"

Paimon had the memories of her travels; she knew that Zhongli, this social parasite who eats, drinks, and takes for free, loved Mora the most.

Everything else was a joke, but Zhongli did indeed love Mora very much after retiring.

Before retiring, the importance of Mora was dispensable to Zhongli. Anyway, he was the Geo Archon, why worry about earning money?

After retiring, Zhongli realized.

It turns out Mora is so important, related to his quality of life.

Now that Hu Tao brought it up, Paimon sighed: "As expected of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's director, you know your consultant too well, right?"

"Hmph hmph."

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips, glanced at Gu Chen, and then said: "I've long known the personalities of the first and second consultants. Use Mora to solve the first consultant, use me to solve the second consultant, done!"

Gu Chen was drinking milk and choked on Hu Tao's words, but there were no flaws in what she said. Gu Chen immediately said: "Should I contact Zhongli?"

"Of course it has to be you. If the Sect Leader steps in, Zhongli has to give some face!" Paimon nodded.

"Fine."

Gu Chen agreed and immediately private-chatted Zhongli.

【Gu Chen】: What are you busy with?

Zhongli replied quickly.

【Zhongli】: On the way to listen to an opera. Does the Sect Leader have something to say?

Gu Chen understood immediately, then.

【Gu Chen】: Our family is going out for a picnic this afternoon. Ganyu has been busy lately because of the Lantern Rite, but a family can't be without Ganyu, right? So, after thinking about it, we thought it would be great if someone could help Ganyu at work.

【Zhongli】:?

On the street.

"Old man, let's go?"

Seeing Zhongli stop, Azhdaha called out in confusion.

Venti leaned over, looked at the light screen in front of Zhongli, and immediately said: "The old man seems to be getting pulled in to work."

"What's going on?"

Azhdaha also leaned over, quickly glanced at the chat history, and looked at Zhongli with full sympathy: "How miserable."

【Zhongli】: Sect Leader, if you tell me about this kind of thing, I can't think of a way either.

【Gu Chen】: 100,000 Mora, just consider it a business trip.

【Zhongli】: Sect Leader, this isn't a matter of Mora. This matter is equivalent to me, who has already retired, being pulled back to work. It's not easy to explain to others. What if others think my retirement was just an act, and I actually still want to control Liyue in secret? That wouldn't be good.

【Gu Chen】: 200,000 Mora, you don't need to explain, just let them guess.

【Zhongli】: Sect Leader, this really isn't a matter of Mora!

【Gu Chen】: 500,000!

【Zhongli】: As the Noble Gold Enforcement Venerable of the Tai Xuan Sect, it is only right to solve problems for the Sect Leader!

Azhdaha smacked his lips and said: "500,000 is enough? What a loser!"

Venti quickly calculated and said: "500,000 Mora, a family of three can usually live on it for two or three years... The old man is at most just eating a meal here, but it's not a small amount."

"If it were me, I'd hang the Sect Leader for a while and wait for him to raise the price to 5 million!" Azhdaha giggled.

Zhongli squinted at him and said: "So that's why the Sect Leader came to me and not you."

Azhdaha laughed: "Forget it, we're going to play anyway, you go help the Sect Leader's wife work!"

"It's nothing more than a day, and if you count it carefully, it's actually only half a day." Zhongli chuckled.

500,000 Mora for half a day's wages, equivalent to a daily income of one million, simply a huge profit!

Isn't this more than what he earns as a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?

However, Zhongli also knew what Gu Chen meant by giving so much Mora; it was nothing more than letting him handle some subsequent work as well, at least not letting Ganyu be busy until the Lantern Rite.

The Sect Leader's way of doing things is all about killing multiple birds with one stone.

Saying goodbye to Venti and Azhdaha, Zhongli walked to Yuehai Pavilion with his hands behind his back.

The secretaries of Yuehai Pavilion were surprised and excited about Zhongli's arrival.

You know, this is the Geo Archon. Although he has retired, his status is still noble.

The news that Zhongli went to Yuehai Pavilion to help Ganyu work soon reached the Jade Chamber. Ningguang couldn't help but laugh or cry after hearing it.

"So it only takes Mora to get the old man to work?" Ningguang laughed.

Baiwen thought for a while and said: "Can we spend some Mora to let Mr. Zhongli help us think of solutions to some things?"

"Inappropriate."

Ningguang shook her head and said softly: "The meaning is different. Mr. Zhongli can help Ganyu cover her shift, but he won't come to help us. At least on some major issues, he won't interfere."

Unless absolutely necessary, Ningguang didn't want to ask Zhongli to step in, because once Zhongli was invited, it would be a blow to Liyue, which had just entered the era of human governance.

Although sometimes there is no need to distinguish so clearly, Ningguang kept the heavy burden on her shoulders in mind.

However, she wasn't worried about anything. Instead, she was full of confidence in the future because of the video from Hu Tao's issue, because the Geo Archon in that issue also faked his death, and looking at Liyue's development over the past hundred years, she knew they were doing quite well.

"In this life, there is the Tai Xuan Scripture... I'm afraid my position as the Tianquan Star will have to be held for a longer time."

Thinking of herself dying of old age in the last video, a strange look appeared on Ningguang's face.

And now, the hope for longevity is great, and Ningguang teased herself.

"Solved, let's pack up and set off." Gu Chen turned to the others.

"Let me think, what should I bring..."

Paimon started to ponder.

"No need to bring anything, right? If we find we're missing something, we can just buy it in the group." Ganyu thought for a moment and shook her head.

Having a chat group is convenient because there are always merchants in the group. Although sending red envelopes requires a handling fee, as long as it's not something particularly valuable, the handling fee is not something to worry about. At least the handling fee is less than the cost of remote transportation.

"That's true, then where to?" Gu Chen asked.

"How about Jueyun Karst? Speaking of which, I haven't seen Cloud Retainer for a long time." Guizhong suggested.

Gu Chen looked at the others.

Ganyu thought for a moment and said: "I have no opinion."

The others also shook their heads one after another.

"Then let's go!"
