Their commission was suspicious.

"Let's go, let's take a look around Liyue Harbor." Chen Luo greeted the people behind him and, without any intention of queuing, led everyone towards the checkpoint.

Although none of these people knew Chen Luo, and Chen Luo didn't know them either, but...

The Law of Consciousness has altered your consciousness; the Law of Consciousness does not need to queue.

Chapter 313 Selling Emperor Figurines at a Stall?

"Liyue Harbor is really bustling." After sneaking into Liyue Harbor by cheating, Chen Luo looked at the scene before him and remarked.

The so-called Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony refers to the annual descent of the Rock King Emperor to the mortal realm.

On this day, the Geo Archon bestows a divine decree, guiding the management of Liyue throughout the year.

Every oracle will cause great upheaval in Liyue this year.

Every year, the one who requests the oracle is always one of the seven stars of Liyue, but the person is different every year. Last year, it was Keqing, the Yuheng star of the seven stars of Liyue, who requested the oracle.

That's Ke Qing, who has both good looks and talent.

This year, it's Tianquan's turn to condense light.

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, he seemed to have heard some information when he was reviewing the plot.

Ningguang seems to want to exclude rocks created by Eye of God users using elemental power from the definition of minerals for tax purposes.

It is worth noting that Ningguang herself is also a user of the Geo Vision.

Is it possible that Ningguang wants to openly and legitimately avoid paying taxes?

Mondstadt is a free city-state, while Liyue is a nation of contracts, both valuing commerce and trade. The seven prominent merchants of Liyue, representing seven different commercial factions, are the true rulers of this nation.

Of course, the true ruler of Liyue will always be the Geo Archon.

In Liyue, there are only two kinds of people: those who are fans of the Emperor and those who are twisted fans of the Emperor.

Oh wait, there's a third type of person: the Emperor's haters.

The leader of the haters is none other than the Rock King Emperor himself.

There seems to be another organization, the Silver Salt Hall or something, which doesn't seem to like the Rock King Emperor very much either.

The people of Liyue love to boast most about the fact that the Geo Archon is eternal.

The Seven Stars are human, and the Emperor is a god. No one can shake the Rock Lord's position in Liyue, not even the Rock Lord himself.

Then...Lord Rock ran away.

"It is indeed a bit too lively." Looking at the crowd coming and going, Shen He moved a little closer to Chen Luo without making a sound.

Shen He hadn't seen so many people at once in a long time. The red rope's effect had its limits, which was why Shen He didn't like walking in crowded places.

"Hey, don't be nervous. Think about it from another angle. You could kill these people 100 times over with one punch," Chen Luo comforted Shen He after sensing his nervousness.

"Your way of comforting me seems kind of weird," the Herrscher of Knowledge remarked from the side.

Furthermore, the Herald of Knowledge was somewhat curious about why Chen Luo didn't use his Herald of Knowledge powers on Shen He to force him to relax.

"I feel like today's Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony was lively, but not entirely lively. It didn't have the kind of atmosphere with gongs, drums, and firecrackers that I had imagined," Chen Luo said, walking on the streets of Liyue, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong with that? It's perfectly normal. It's basically standard practice for locals. If you see people rushing around and looking excited, those are foreigners. Locals in Liyue aren't really into the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony; they're more interested in making money."

"This is probably the kind of tourist attraction that locals don't go to. It's like how locals in Nanchang don't like to go to Tengwang Pavilion, and locals in Beijing are too lazy to go to the Forbidden City."

"Back when I used to go down the mountain every year to exorcise demons, people would watch curiously at first, but they gradually got used to it." This time, it was the Herrscher of Knowledge who was always curious about things, and seemed to have his own understanding of this.

"I see..." Chen Luo nodded thoughtfully.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Just like yesterday's fireworks display, if Liu Wenxuan hadn't called Chen Luo, Chen Luo wouldn't have bothered to go even if he knew.

Anyway, the fireworks are the same fireworks, and the shows are the same shows; they're only good for attracting tourists from other places.

Chen Luo genuinely didn't understand why Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er would want to watch fireworks.

Moreover, these two seemed to really enjoy watching fireworks, so they almost got into a fight over the VIP spot next to Chen Luo to watch the fireworks.

later?

Later, to prevent the two girls from fighting, Chen Luo gave up his seat and went to play with Liu Wenxuan.

Chen Luo was mainly curious about what strange demons and monsters Liu Wenxuan had killed, so he went over to listen to the gossip.

Sure enough, after he ran away, the two sisters sat down next to Chen Luo and started watching the fireworks silently without saying a word.

Meng Jie, who was originally sitting near Liu Wenxuan, looked on in disbelief when she saw Chen Luo sit over there.

Although it was hard to believe, he still moved his seat to the side so that Chen Luo could sit next to him.

"So what are we going to do next? Shall we take a good look around this Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony?" The Herald of Knowledge asked excitedly as he looked around.

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge spoke as if she were very experienced, in reality, this was her first time participating in such a large-scale festival.

Logically speaking, the Herrscher of Consciousness should have been hiding in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness yesterday, and perhaps even watched the fireworks display. But the Herrscher of Consciousness went to the Paradise of the Afterlife yesterday, and thus completely missed the fireworks display.

Even those who were aware of Qi were unwilling to stay in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness.

Therefore, when the Law Master woke up this morning, he did not see Sirin hatching.

Well, coincidentally, Chen Luo didn't see it either.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only morning. The Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals Ceremony is still some time away. If I remember correctly, it should be around noon. Probably..." Chen Luo said uncertainly.

"Then take him to the execution ground and behead him in the street?" Upon hearing this, the Herald of Knowledge subconsciously said.

After all, Fu Hua's memories are a jumbled mess, including things like executions. And in ancient times, executions were particularly often carried out at noon.

"If anything happens to the Rock King Emperor today, it will be your doing." Chen Luo glared fiercely at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Fortunately, there was no one else nearby. If some Morax fans from Liyue had heard Herrscher of Knowledge's words, Chen Luo and his group would have been downgraded from foreign guests to rude foreigners.

But then another question arises: what would be the odds of the Herrscher of Knowledge fighting the Rock King?

"What are you looking at? You've never fought before, so you don't know." The Herald of Knowledge suddenly glanced at Chen Luo.

Because the Herrscher of Consciousness's chain is attached to Chen Luo's arm, Chen Luo is currently being mind-read by the Herrscher of Consciousness. Of course, it would be easy for Chen Luo to break this connection if he wanted to.

Chen Luo really wanted to know.

"Ahem, the purpose of our trip this time is to let Shen Shen meet more people and also to visit the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals Ceremony. However, there is still a long time before the ceremony begins, so we can't waste it." Chen Luo clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to this scene.

"So, shall we split up and explore the entire Liyue Harbor?" Herrscher of Knowledge asked, sounding eager.

“No, that way we wouldn’t be able to interact with anyone else, let alone cause any disputes, and naturally we wouldn’t be able to let Shen He understand whether he is suitable to return to human society now. So we need to do something a little more unconventional,” Chen Luo said.

"What should we play?" The Lawbringer of Knowledge became interested.

"Let's set up a stall!" Chen Luo said loudly.

"Hmm, setting up a stall?" The Lawyer of Knowledge was taken aback.

"What, is this job particularly suitable for you? Does it pique your interest in swindling people in the underworld?" Chen Luo looked at the Herald of Knowledge expectantly.

"Don't treat me like some weird con artist, okay?" the Herald of Knowledge said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Do you think I'm some low-level con artist?

So what are we selling?

No, actually I'm a master con artist.

"Let's see. I already have a plan in mind. What do you think about selling figurines of the Rock King Emperor during the Seven Stars Immortal Invitation Ceremony? And they'd be sculpted or made on-site," Chen Luo said.

"It's not impossible, but I feel it's too limiting. After all, if you want to sell something at a high price, you have to make the unit price high enough. A newly carved one might not suit everyone's taste. You should exaggerate its era to be even further back. For example, you were good before, exaggerating Mora as Mora that was personally blessed by God. Wouldn't that make it more sophisticated?"

“So we can sell them in two parts: one part is newly carved, and the other part is aged. The new ones will have one price and focus on volume, while the aged ones will have another price and focus on quality. What do you think of the Rock God statue that was personally blessed by the Rock King Emperor?” Herrscher of Knowledge said with great interest.

"...If we're talking about con artists, you're the real deal," Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Luo hadn't expected so many tricks.

"Then it's decided. We'll go sell the Rock God dolls and figurines in a little while. I'll be in charge of carving, Xiao Shi will be in charge of selling, and Shen He will be in charge of handling any disputes."

"What about me? What about me?" Xilin, who was being held in Chen Luo's arms, asked excitedly.

"You'll be the mascot."

"mascot?"

“Since Xilin is cute enough, she can just stay there,” Chen Luo said.

"Oh." Xilin nodded, seemingly understanding.

"But can I really handle this kind of dispute?" Shen He, one of the four, seemed a bit troubled.

"It doesn't matter, just give it a try. If it doesn't work or you mess it up, I'll use the Herrscher of Knowledge's ability to change the other party's memory, and then you can continue to practice with him. Sometimes, being able to handle disputes well means you have a certain understanding of human society," Chen Luo said to Shen He.

That is indeed the case.

Moreover, sometimes resolving disputes is not actually that difficult.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to resolve a dispute: one is to be eloquent, and the other is to be strong.

As long as Shen He can learn any way to handle disputes, then there will be no problem.

It's practically impossible to make Shen He eloquent, but Chen Luo can teach Shen He when to use force and how to use force with restraint.

For example, you could punch the ground and create a deep hole. This way, you not only don't hurt the other person, but you can also make them more polite.

This was originally the direction Chen Luo was guiding Shen He's development.

Although this might get Shen He into some disputes, it's not a big problem, since there's still Chen Luo, right?

Chen Luo will teach Shen He how to use force with restraint.

Besides, what can make Shen He angry is either unreasonable or malicious. Such people are easy to beat up.

Shen He may have gone too far, but he couldn't have hit the wrong person.

Besides, Chen Luo was doing this so that Shen He would have a skill.

While one can cultivate in the mountains without needing Mora, it's impossible to move an inch in Liyue Harbor without money.

Of course, Shen He could also get breakfast and dinner from Chen Luo every day, just like Mona did.

Anyway, Shen He probably only eats Qingxin, so it's not a big problem.

"Where should we set up our stall?" the Herald of Knowledge asked excitedly.

Those who understand the laws are already impatient.

The Law Master felt it was necessary to let Chen Luo understand what true eloquence was.

"Of course, the closer you are to the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony, the better. After all, the closer you are, the better you can filter your target users," Chen Luo said.

After all, since they were already at the Seven Stars Immortal Invitation Ceremony, they must have wanted to meet the Rock King Emperor.

Since that's the case, it's perfectly normal to want to share in the good fortune of the Rock King Emperor and buy a lifelike Rock King Emperor statue, right?

"Let's go, let's head towards the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals Ceremony and see where we can set up stalls nearby. I think there should be places to set up stalls near the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals Ceremony," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo always felt that as a country that values ​​commerce and contracts, there should at least be a place to sell things in such an important sector.

Just like the fireworks display in Xinghai City.

Chen Luo was unsure whether there would still be any stalls available now that he had arrived so late.

Although Chen Luo didn't know the exact location of the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony, he learned the location after being guided by a kind-hearted member of the Thousand Rock Army.

Hearing the other person's stomach growling, Chen Luo gave them three steamed buns.

Liyue Harbor is quite large. Although the map shown in the game is small, it's like Mondstadt in Mondstadt. The way games and real-world representations are presented is definitely different.

Chen Luo and his group walked for quite a while before they reached the vicinity of the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals ceremony.

Chen Luo did indeed see stalls nearby, but they were some distance from the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals ceremony.

Perhaps because the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony is not to be trifled with, no one sets up a stall within a certain area.

"Don't miss out! Precious portable compressed food from abroad is on sale at a low price. No more worrying about going hungry when you're out delivering goods. Just one biscuit can sustain you for a day. Plus, there are many flavors to choose from, so there's bound to be one you'll like! Honest and fair dealing, limited quantities, while supplies last, first come, first served!"

"Hmm?" Chen Luo frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

Chen Luo felt that the voice seemed a little familiar.

And this introduction... is even more familiar.
