She adjusted the half-frame glasses on her nose, and the look through the lenses was as sharp as a wolf... He had just praised the deputy section chief for being pretty and cute yesterday!
"Youzhen, what do you need urgently?" Yue Chengliu said in a murderous tone.
"Haha, deputy section chief, it's nothing..." Asaba Yuma quickly snatched the form from her arms, sweating profusely: "I mean... I urgently need this job."
Chapter 111: Billions of talismans carved by hand... Was this done by a human?
"A few people entered the door, but before they could take a few steps, they were blocked by a demonic figure."
"I didn't expect that even Taibusi's cave was infiltrated to this extent. No wonder the gate is sealed."
"Xing's side is full of powerful warriors. A mere demonic Yin body is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It was beaten to ashes in a few seconds."
"As everyone continued forward, they saw a massive formation emerging from a distant platform. Countless intricate talismans weaved through the mechanism like nimble fish, operating endlessly in a dazzling display."
"In front of us is the large-scale jade divination array that our Taibu Division is so proud of—the Qiongguan Formation." Qingque proudly explained to everyone.
"I've heard people mention the word 'Jade Omen' from time to time along the way. Miss Qingque, what is Jade Omen?" Walter was quite curious about it.
"'A jade omen...' that's a jade omen." Qingque was at a loss for words. "Mr. Yang asks a good question. Let me think about it..."
Qingque lowered his head in thought for a moment, then spoke leisurely, "As the book 'The Mirror of Changes' says, 'Seal patterns on living jade, divination and understanding the mysteries.' Just like carving seals, the craftsmen of the Immortal Boat Craftsmanship Division engrave countless invisible talismans within the jade lattice, then embed various mechanisms to make them operate according to their designed intentions."
"Some jade omens are small enough to be stored in bracelets or jewelry, while larger ones are incorporated into formations to deduce divination and predict the future."
Qingque looked at the formation behind him, which resembled a cluster of palaces. "Just like this Qiongguan formation, whether it's the evolution of natural laws or the changes in human nature, as long as there is sufficient information, it can answer any question."
"Trillions of talismans...hand-carved?"
On Mount Aozang, a woman known for her mechanical talismans was completely stunned. She knew each of these six words individually, but when combined, they seemed incredibly unfamiliar.
Even if you are an immortal with thousands of years of experience in carving talismans, you still need to be careful and cautious when practicing... Any mistake may make the entire talisman invalid, and all your previous efforts will be wasted.
She had also studied auxiliary mechanisms in private, but even with the assistance of mechanisms and the driving force of immortal power, it was impossible for her to carve the "Billion" talismans by hand. This level of workload... was far beyond the ability of an "immortal".
I'm afraid even the Emperor would be shocked by this?
"Isn't that an exaggeration? How is it possible for human hands to carve out such a large number of talismans?" True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang frowned. As a master of talismans himself, he understood the value of Qingque's words.
Honestly speaking, if the concept of the "trillion" talisman was the achievement of the star gods in the universe, he could fully understand it.
After all, whether it was the Abundance God, the Protector Star God, or even the Knowledgeable Lord... any one of them would be outrageous enough. But if it was the work of a human... he would find it hard to accept.
This means that the humans on the immortal boat have achieved achievements that are unimaginable to them, the immortals.
"Haha, you two, don't underestimate humans."
Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun, who was drinking tea nearby, laughed and said, "Didn't you realize how big that Qiongguan formation is?"
True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the Qiongguan Formation that appeared in the light curtain was only a corner. There were three more centers in the formation, and the area was so large that it almost covered the entire Taibu Division.
"The entire Qiongguan Formation is composed of mechanical talismans. This is probably far more than the hard work of one or two generations of Xianzhou people, but the crystallization of thousands of years of human wisdom."
Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun smiled helplessly: "Even if we live longer, how can we compete with the wisdom and experience passed down from generation to generation by hundreds of millions of people? Besides, the people of the Immortal Boat themselves have lived long enough..."
"Rather than questioning their wisdom, shouldn't you two focus your curiosity elsewhere? For example, how are the talismans they carve different from ours?"
-
"It is said that the talismans and principles within them were sought from the 'Panzhi Tianjun', the Venerable Boshi. Of all the Taibushi, only the Taibushi could possibly be said to have a complete understanding of their profound meaning."
"Isn't this just a computer?" Xing said sharply.
Sanyueqi also realized, "Yes, but the name Yuzhao sounds much better. Besides, how could an ordinary computer have such a mysterious origin? This is a technology personally taught by Master Boshi..."
"There's no need to get hung up on the name. As long as the mechanism works effectively, what's the difference between a jade sign and a computer?"
"Bluebird's attitude was quite open-minded: "Just like today, as long as someone guides you here, it doesn't matter if it's Bluebird or Whitebird."
"After saying that, Qingque led the others to the bottom of the Qiongguan Formation."
"Fu Xuan is talking to Jing Yuan's projection there."
"Mr. Fu, how is the progress?"
Fu Xuan sighed softly and said, "It rises and falls between Qian and Zhen. Actions are flawed and have no benefit."
Jing Yuan seemed to have gotten used to it, and said helplessly, "Mr. Fu, please speak human language."
"Disaster is imminent," Fu Xuan said gloomily. "The Qiongguan Formation has ceased to function, the talismans are dim, and the evil Star Core remains within the Ministry. The Cloud Cavalry are busy protecting the people, and I want to restore the formation, but I have no soldiers to use. In this situation, I still have to deal with the Star Core Hunters the General has sent me. Isn't this a disaster?"
"To restrain the future-sighted Star Core Hunters, we must rely on the foresight of Master Fu. As for manpower assistance—why wouldn't I be unprepared?"
"As soon as the general finished speaking, Qingque and his men arrived here."
"This personnel arrangement and dispatch... worthy of General Xianzhou, truly a man of 'everything left to plan'."
Inside the Coral Palace, Xinhai marveled at General Jingyuan's planning and arrangements. In his eyes, it seemed that no matter how big or small the matter was, it had all been planned and arranged in his mind, and all he had to do was make the moves.
As the living shrine maiden of Kaigi Island, her duties are highly consistent with those of General Jingyuan - she is responsible for the people's livelihood management of the island and also handles related military issues.
Xinhai could understand why General Jingyuan always looked like he was still asleep... Anyone who had truly experienced this would know that this was definitely a job that would drastically reduce his energy.
"Master Coral Palace, doesn't General Jingyuan carry a brocade bag with him?" Wu Lang asked doubtfully, "In case of any emergency or unexpected incident..."
As he spoke, he took out from his pocket the collection of tips that he always carried with him, which had been revised with hundreds of items.
Xinhai immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks flushed red - for the first time, she felt that the collection of tips she had racked her brains to come up with was quite childish.
Why hadn't she thought of it before... When the crisis really comes, who would have the time to flip through the thick treasure bag?
It would be better not to have the secret code than to let Wulang and the others believe in it.
Chapter 112: Let Fu Xuan and Qingque dominate the Teyvat light novel market as quickly as possible!
"The general is truly ruthless in employing people." Fu Xuan glanced at Jing Yuan and said with a smile.
"Since we're here, we have to make the best use of our talents." Jing Yuan said with a calm expression.
"Fu Xuan walked towards Xing and the others and, without further ado, explained to them the two crises facing the Taibu Division. One was that the foundation of the Qiongguan formation needed to be restarted, and the other was that the evil star cores along the way needed to be eliminated."
"Qingque can handle the former, and I'll leave the latter to Xing and the others."
"Say the magic word!" Xing said with a teasing expression.
"…Wh-what? What magical word?" Fu Xuan tilted his head, a look of complete confusion on his face. He stared blankly at the group with his round, chestnut-shaped eyes."
"Oh~" Sanyueqi understood and placed his hand on his chest. "It's just a simple, universal word: 'please'."
"..." Fu Xuan's eyes subconsciously drifted away.
"Although her position as a Grand Soothsayer required her to maintain the composure and seriousness of a superior, the blush on her delicate cheeks quickly betrayed the panic within her heart."
“…Please, please!”
"March Seventh was finally satisfied: "Got it!""
"What a lovely little girl! Why doesn't Xing tease her more? What a pity..." Inside the Yaedo Hall, the Son of God was enjoying watching the girl's embarrassment.
Just as she was thinking for a moment, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door.
The person who came was Hirayama, the editor-in-chief of Yaedo, whose status was second only to her, the "editor-in-chief".
"Oh? Hirayama, you came so late. Has the sales ranking of Inazuma's light novels for the past month come out?" Shen Zi's tone was full of anticipation and joy.
Yaedo isn't the only light novel publisher in Inazuma, but it's undoubtedly the largest. Thanks to Miko's unconventional and unconventional approach to reviewing, several of Yaedo's titles released each quarter are incredibly popular across Teyvat... and even thousands of miles away in Nata, where demand outstrips supply.
The sales ranking list covers almost all the latest light novels on the market, and among the top five works in the past, Yaedo basically occupies the top three positions.
Because of this, the Son of God never doubts his own judgment.
"Where does 'I Got Reincarnated as the Thunder General and Became Invincible' rank?" Shen Zi asked before even accepting the list that Pingshan had handed over. "And 'Please, My Fox Fairy Palace Master'...that one's also very interesting. It should do well, right?"
Hirayama wiped the sweat from his forehead and lowered his head into the shadow beside the candlelight. "Editor-in-Chief Yae, why don't you take a look at it yourself?"
“Oh…?” Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, the Son of God reached out to take the list, and his beautiful eyes scanned the list from the tenth place at the end to the first place.
Strange. No...
There isn't even one copy? How could this be?
The Son of God frowned slightly. This had never happened since the establishment of Yaedo Hall.
"Editor-in-Chief Yae, the most popular stories right now are those related to 'Fu Xuan' and 'Qing Que'. Stories like the Thunder General and the Fox Fairy Palace Master... are outdated."
Pingshan swallowed hard and finally stepped out of the shadows. "Look at the top ten on the list. They're all related to them."
"Things like 'What's Wrong with Trying to Pick Up Girls at the Taibushi?', 'Little Qingque's Rebellion - Willing to Do Anything to Become the Taibushi of the Taibushi', 'My Neighbor Fu Xuan, Who Quit His Bookishness from Time to Time,' and 'As the Head of the Xiaoyao Sect, I Start Living with the Beautiful Taibushi I Met After Seven Years'... and so on."
"Especially the first place winner, the author of 'Youthful Fish-Slackers Won't Dream of the Fierce White Silk Fortune Teller'... It's said that after seeing the blue bird, he worked so hard for three days without eating or drinking, and finally wrote the entire article before the deadline, and then he immediately topped the list—"
"...Okay, I didn't expect that I was short-sighted this time." The Son of God drooped his beautiful eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly raised his head.
"Hirayama, notify all Yaedo's authors tomorrow morning and prepare the relevant materials. Immediately open the call for submissions for light novels related to Fu Taibu! The day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow at the latest! I want to see the island covered in call for submissions advertisements and posters!"
"We must make 'Fu Xuan' and 'Qing Que' dominate the Teyvat light novel market as quickly as possible!"
"Under Qingque's leadership, the group quickly wiped out the various demonic bodies and monsters within the Taipusi and reactivated the three formation bases."
"Once we've returned to the center of the Qiongguan Formation, Fu Xuan approached them. "You've done well. I can sense the Qiongguan Formation's talismans have been reignited. Next, I'll interrogate Kafka. Those at the center of the formation might feel some... shock. Are you ready?"
"Please start, Fu Taibu." Walter made a "please" gesture.
"Then, two Cloud Riders brought Kafka over."
"At this moment, Kafka has removed her makeup, her eyeshadow and lipstick gone. Her slightly sharp beauty has been completely stripped away, but even after all that has gone... a touch of tenderness finally emanates from her eyes, like mist on a spring lake."
"Is this a big deal? I told you I'd cooperate." Kafka's tone was submissive.
"It's so beautiful! Kafka looks like this!"
Dianci jumped up from the sofa with a "wow", took out his cell phone from his pocket and started tapping the ceiling.
For a while, the sound of "click" kept echoing in the living room of Hayakawa Aki's house.
"...Is this still Kafka?" Pava was a little incredulous. The Kafka he had always imagined wasn't this delicate and gentle. Could this be her true nature?
No, no, no! Pava quickly shook his head, trying to get the image of "gentle Kafka" out of his mind.
"Denci, don't be fooled by this kind of woman. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you! Don't be fooled by her appearance of needing protection now. She might kick you in the head with her high heels when you turn around!"
Pava put on a deliberately intimidating expression, and his two cute little fangs were accidentally revealed.
"Hmm... that's not so bad, right?" Denji thought for a moment with his almost useless brain. "... No, it's actually pretty great! If she's willing to go out with me, I'll do anything!"
"Would it be okay if I asked you to betray Makima?" Pava subconsciously asked a "fatal question".
"As for this question... Although Ms. Makima and I have been on a date, we only watched a movie and held hands briefly."
Denci hesitated, and after much thought, he said, "If Kafka is willing to kiss me and be my girlfriend...it's not impossible, but I can't guarantee that I won't fall in love with Miss Makima again in the future."
"Tsk, Denci... so disgusting." Pava turned his eyes away from him in disgust.
Chapter 113 I swear she is the one I love the most among all the ones I meet!
"Oh my god...she's definitely my favorite."
"Did you see the look in her eyes? Believe me, every girl will reveal that look in front of her loved one when she's feeling vulnerable. It's like water... tenderness."
Inside a love hotel in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, the lights were off and Eri had fallen asleep. Rain rustled outside the window, but Lu Mingfei was the only one who couldn't sleep, chatting intermittently with Finger.
They talked from Kafka to Jizi, and from Jizi to March 7, Ester, Tingyun... and finally back to Kafka. In Finkel's words, each of them is his Venus. If he can transcend time and space to fall in love with them, he is willing to graduate a few years later.
"Why are you saying this? Isn't it just to prove that you are a scumbag?" Lu Mingfei typed.
"Not at all." Finkel's message came out very quickly. Lu Mingfei could imagine his useless senior brother talking excitedly in front of the phone.
"The ancient philosopher Heraclitus said, 'You cannot step into the same river twice.' This quote profoundly illustrates the ever-changing nature of things. Yesterday, I, who was deeply in love with March Seventh, am already dead. Today, I, who love Kafka, am still alive. Tomorrow, I will be pregnant and may fall in love with another beautiful girl... For example, that girl named Ester is quite good-looking, with a perfect figure."
"Esther reminds me of my first-year classmate, especially the half of her white calf in her high heels... Oh my God, I even feel like I have lived my whole life for that moment. I swear, I love them with all my heart, but I can't stop myself from dying."
"...scumbag." Lu Mingfei typed again and repeated.
"How can you say that? How many girls have you liked? Is there anyone you like in the light curtain?" Finkel asked, "March Seven? Ji Zi? Ester? Qingque? Su Shang..."
The useless senior brother mentioned almost all the female characters that appeared on the screen as if he was reading out the names of dishes. It was really amazing that he remembered them so clearly.
Lu Mingfei turned off his phone and stuffed it under his pillow. He did not reply to the message, but just quietly felt the vibration sound under the pillow.
The girl you like...
The faces of Chen Wenwen and Nuonuo flashed through his mind, and then everything was blank... leaving only the back of the dark red-haired girl.
