People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

Shen Qin curled his lips: "You called me Brother Shen on the communication. It's okay, Shen Qin. If there is something wrong, just call me Brother Shen, right?"

"Tsk, you are too stingy. At most you can call me brother and I will call you brother. We can just call each other by our own names."

"Fortunately you didn't let me call you dad."

"What?" Tartaglia asked in confusion.

"nothing."

The two of them bickered all the way and soon arrived at the parking lot of Liuliting. But after getting out of the car, Shen Qin looked at the front of the car covered with graffiti on the wall next door and fell into deep thought.

"What are you looking at?" Tartaglia came over, and after seeing the front of the car in front of him, he touched his chin and said, "This car seems to be the car of the current head of the Wangsheng Hall."

It's hard not to be impressed by such a unique paint job.

"It must be her! Let's go in and take a look, maybe we can run into her." Shen Qin took the lead and walked towards the Glazed Pavilion.

Tartaglia followed him and asked doubtfully, "From your tone, do you know each other?"

"Of course, I, Shen Qin, am known as the socialite of Liyue. There is no one in the entire Liyue that I don't know."

"Then do you know the grandson of the great uncle of the cousin of the son of the sister of the old man sweeping the city gate?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Shen Qin glanced at him.

With the welcome from the waitress at the door of the Liuli Pavilion, Shen Qin and his friends entered the lobby of the Liuli Pavilion, but after a quick look around, they did not see Hu Tao. Could she be in the private room?

After walking only a few steps, he heard someone making a noisy noise in a box.

"Don't bully me! I, Paimeng, am definitely not a good person..."

Shen Qin smiled, followed the sound to a private room and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A familiar voice came from inside.

Shen Qin then pushed open the door of the box and saw a group of familiar faces inside. Hu Tao and Zhong Li were also there. At this time, Hu Tao was chasing after the flustered Paimeng with a smile, and the two were making a lot of noise.

"Hey, it's Shen Qin!" Shatang said in surprise.

"What a coincidence! We just happened to come here for dinner and saw Hu Tao's car in the parking lot. We were wondering if we could meet here, but we didn't expect you to get together." Shen Qin said with a smile.

"We met Hu Tao when we were shopping. I didn't expect you knew her too." Xiang Ling felt very happy that her two friends were also friends. This was a very happy thing.

Shen Qin looked at Zhongli, who was sitting on the other side of the girls, drinking tea silently and looking out of place with them. "Then why is Mr. Zhongli here?"

Hu Tao stopped chasing Paimon and explained to Shen Qin: "Zhongli Keqing, I invited him to give advice on the buildings in Ying's Chenge Pot. He is very knowledgeable and knows all the buildings in Teyvat..."

"I know a little bit." Shen Qin continued.

Kurumi gave him a thumbs up, then looked curiously at Tartaglia who followed him in, and asked, "This new friend... looks like a Solstice?"

"Yes, I'm from Zhidong, I work at the Northland Bank, and I'm a friend of Shen Qin." A harmless smile appeared on Tartaglia's face.

In his heart, he was surprised at Shen Qin's connections in Liyue.

Xiangling, the daughter of Wanmin Hall, is a disciple of Gechenlangshi Zhenjun, just like Yaoyao who is present. Yaoyao also has a close relationship with many immortals in Liyue.

Hu Tao is the current head of the Wangsheng Hall, which is a powerful force in Liyue with a history of one thousand years.

Zhongli, a mysterious guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, has an unknown origin but is extremely knowledgeable and shrewd.

You have to know that Shen Qin has only been in Liyue for two days!

They are all people that Tartaglia wants to have good relations with.

But Shen Qin did not hesitate to expose his lies: "This guy's true identity is the executive of the Fatui. Don't be deceived by his appearance. Be careful when you meet him in the future. Don't be deceived by him."

Tartaglia widened his eyes and looked at the guy in disbelief: You've exposed all my secrets, right?

After Shen Qin finished speaking, everyone looked at Tartaglia with more vigilance in their eyes.

Chapter 232: Tonight's Consumption is Paid by Master Da

The Fatui were notorious, and no one present had a good impression of them, so the whole box was silent for about ten seconds. Zhongli took a sip of tea, and then spoke slowly: "Although this person is an executive of the Fatui, since he is a friend recognized by Shen Qin, I believe that to a certain extent, he is worth associating with."

"That's right, I believe in Shen Qin's vision!" Hu Tao said casually, "As the saying goes, 'In a hundred years of life, you will meet thousands of people, and all kinds of people can be your guests.' Since we are all lucky enough to be together here today, why don't we put aside our worldly identities and sit down to have a drink together? After all, we will all be dust in a hundred years, so what difference will it make?"

Then she jumped in front of Dadalia and said excitedly, "Although you are not from Liyue, you can still enjoy the high-quality funeral services of the Hall of the Dead. Would you like to pre-order? Fatui is a high-risk profession. I have personally sent away several of them..."

The corner of Tartaglia's mouth twitched. Is it really appropriate for you to say this in front of me?

"Alright." Shen Qin clapped his hands and pointed at Tartaglia, "Master Tartaglia said that he will pay for all the expenses tonight, so order whatever you want!"

Tartaglia looked at Shen Qin in shock: Good man, not only do you want to expose my past, but you also want to empty my wallet?

Also, my last name is not Da.

"Great! I'll pick out the most expensive ones!" Paimon said happily.

Isn't it a great thing to have a chance to get something for free from the fools?

Hearing that Tartaglia was treating them, the atmosphere in the box finally became lively. He looked at the scene in front of him and sighed softly. It seemed that he couldn't escape this order today.

"Everyone, enjoy your food and drinks. I'll take my friend to the hall outside... By the way, Zhongli, do you want to come with us?" Shen Qin showed off his generosity with Tartaglia's wallet.

Tartaglia is not the same kind of person as them, so Shen Qin naturally doesn't want to ruin their dining experience.

Zhongli stood up and nodded, "That's fine."

The box was full of girls, and it was indeed uncomfortable for an old man like him to sit here.

Of course, if it was a female incarnation, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

The Emperor in big sister form, hehe!

"Thank you, Mr. Da, for the treat!" Paimon waved goodbye to the three people who were about to leave the box.

Tartaglia glanced at Ying beside her and received a friendly nod.

Ying's intelligence priority among the Fatui is very high. Originally, Tartaglia planned to contact her after a while to see if he could gain her friendship, but now that Shen Qin has interfered, it may become difficult to deal with her.

Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Qin with resentment.

It's you again, it's you again! It's you who ruins the fools' good deeds again!

But then he remembered that the Heart of the God of Wind was traded by Shen Qin to the Fatui, so he had achieved their ultimate goal, although the process was different from what they had planned.

And Academy City's money-making plan also involved them.

In this case, it seems that Shen Qin has always been helping the Fatui. Could he really be the twelfth executive officer?

We are not afraid of warriors being uneducated, but we are afraid of warriors starting to think.

"What are you thinking about? Order the food quickly!" Shen Qin patted Tartaglia's shoulder, waking him up from his endless imagination.

Only then did he come to his senses and found that he had unknowingly sat down at the dinner table.

"Liuliting's 'Yangang Three Fresh', 'Dry Pot Bacon', and 'Tianshu Meat' are all famous dishes. You can also try their 'Shanzhen Hot Braised Noodles'."

Zhongli introduced Shen Qin, then looked at Tartaglia, "This Mr. Da should be quite familiar with Liyue Harbor, so I won't recommend any dishes without authorization."

Tartaglia smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhongli, my name is Tartaglia, and my code name among the Fatui is 'Young Master'. You can call me by either name. Young Master Da is just a joke from Shen Qin."

"Sorry, I didn't know about this before." Zhongli apologized politely.

Tartaglia said with some surprise: "You don't seem to have much prejudice against my identity as a Fatui..."

"Whether it's the Fatui or the Kingdom of Winter, it doesn't stop me from sitting here and communicating with you. You are an interesting person and it should be pleasant to get along with you." Zhongli said.

To sum up, he was just having fun with Tartaglia.

Of course, the relationship between the two may subsequently escalate into that of a money-giving boy and a wallet.

"As expected, Mr. Zhongli." Tartaglia poured tea for the three of them and raised the teacup to signal Zhongli.

The three of them quickly ordered their food and then sat there chatting and having a great time.

Tartaglia also shared the embarrassing story of Shen Qin who was listening to a story at Sanwan Buguogang and ended up hearing his own story. The other two did not notice that Zhongli's expression was a little unnatural.

Everything started because he mentioned it to Tian Tiezui. (Chapter 152)

It's really a sin.

But for some reason, the corners of his mouth curved up a little because he couldn't hold it back.

Zhongli's knowledge is very broad. He can talk about everything from ancient times to the present, so he was the one talking most of the time, while Master Da and Shen Qin listened with great interest.

Of course, if you praise him like that, the response you get is bound to be—

"Know a thing or two."

Your "one and two" is the "one and two" in "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things", right?

You know everything about Teyvat.

After five dishes were served, it was already dark outside the window. Shen Qin and his friends happened to be sitting at a table by the window, and outside the window was the busy Liyue street.

It is quite a unique experience to chat and admire the people at the same time.

"The prosperity of Liyue Harbor is something I have never seen in the winter. It must be the city with the most foreigners in all of Teyvat. However, this prosperity does not destroy the original atmosphere of Liyue Harbor. It is really curious." Tartaglia exclaimed.

Zhongli smiled and said, "The smell of fireworks in Liyue is an imprint that is steeped in this land."

Shen Qin: "As the saying goes, 'the land and water nurture the people'. When foreigners come to Liyue, they will be influenced by the people and environment here, and will also become more humane."

A diner at the next table looked at the three literary people with a strange look in his eyes and muttered quietly, "Even when I'm having a meal, I still meet people who are pretending to be cool."

Zhongli and Tartaglia, who had keen hearing, twitched their lips.

Shen Qin and the other two ate and drank their fill in the lobby, and the girls in the box also happily enjoyed a free meal.

They have no psychological burden in cheating the fools out of their money.

After paying Mora, Dartaglia was ruthlessly abandoned by Shen Qin. He had nothing to say, shook his head helplessly and returned to the car, summoning a Fatui to be the driver - don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking.

Although he spent a large sum of Mora today, he did not gain nothing. At least he communicated with the mysterious Zhongli, who the Fatui could not find much information about him, and the two even exchanged communications.

Moreover, after spending half a day playing with Shen Qin in Liyue Harbor, he was in a good mood.

After meeting, the two tacitly agreed not to bring up any sensitive topics regarding the Fatui or Liyue. At least in this short half day, they were getting along as friends without considering their respective positions.

For every Fatui executive, friends are a great luxury.

Chapter 233 Shen Qin: I will definitely do it next time

Hu Tao followed Shen Qin and the others into the car, and let Zhong leave her beloved car and return to the Wangsheng Hall.

When Shen Qin thought of the serious emperor driving a graffiti-covered "pain car" on the road in a cool way, he found the scene very funny.

Isn't this definitely Morax's dark history?

So he took a few photos of Zhong leaving the car, and he would share them with the immortals after he got familiar with them.

As for Zhongli’s retaliation…he had never considered this issue.

"Ying, I have to cook at Wanmin Hall tomorrow, so I can't accompany you." Xiangling said to Ying.

"I, the hall master, also have important matters to attend to tomorrow, but you can rest assured and go pick out construction materials with Zhongli Keqing. He is quite capable, but don't let him bargain - he never bargains when buying things! And he always puts the prices in the name of Wangsheng Hall!" Hu Tao said angrily.

Yaoyao said: "I should be free tomorrow..."

Shen Qin continued her words: "Yaoyao, can you take us to Aozang Mountain tomorrow? We want to visit Master Liuyun Jiefeng."

There is no other purpose, the main purpose is to make friends with more immortals, and at the same time learn some immortal mechanical skills from that woman.

"Ah! Do you want to visit Aunt Liuyun? But she usually doesn't show up in front of humans..." Yaoyao said with some embarrassment.

"That's why I need your introduction!"

"Hmm..." Yaoyao lowered her head and thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, "If we let Sister Ganyu take us up the mountain, the success rate should be much higher! She is Aunt Liuyun's direct disciple, if she is willing to speak for you, it will definitely work! I'll contact her!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Ganyu was very efficient in handling everything. Less than half a minute after Yaoyao sent the message, the other side replied with just one word - OK.

Yaoyao immediately reported the good news to Shen Qin: "Sister Ganyu agreed! The two of us will take you there together tomorrow."

"Pretty!"

Shatang dropped Ying and the others off at Wanmin Hall, then turned back to send Hutao to Wangsheng Hall, and then drove back to the guesthouse.

Shen Qin looked at her tired face and said apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work today."

"It's okay. I'm very happy today. I met old friends and made new friends." Sucrose walked side by side with him and said with emotion, "I only knew how to stay in the laboratory and do experiments before. I never dared to imagine that I could meet so many friends outside the Knights."
