Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo also admitted this, because if Furniture Mastery were removed, Chen Luo would indeed want the Talent Upgrade Card, but the problem is that Chen Luo already has Furniture Mastery.

Although he received a more valuable reward, Chen Luo was still a little disappointed because the reward came at an inopportune time.

However, talent upgrade cards are already quite precious, so there's nothing to complain about.

"Sigh, this battle was really tough." Chen Luo stood up from his chair at the very edge of the Qunyu Pavilion and sighed.

"Ah, right, right, to be honest, with all the buffs you gave Infinity Serpent, even if you put them on a pig, it could still beat Oser." The Herrscher of Knowledge sitting on Chen Luo's shoulder said perfunctorily.

The entire battle was like Infinity Serpent beating up its younger brother.

However, because Infinite Serpent needs to attack and eat at the same time, it seems a bit slow; otherwise, 10 minutes might be enough to beat the opponent into a state of complete incapacity.

The key issue is that Chen Luo is rather stingy; he insisted on waiting until he was tired of the Infinite Serpent before finally killing Oser.

"And what about me? Didn't you say you were keeping me to deal with the remnants of the Vortex Demon God? You did it all by yourself, what's the meaning of that?" The Herrscher of Knowledge said, grabbing Chen Luo's hair.

I sat on your shoulders and watched the show for almost an hour, and then you tell me the matter is resolved?

"Hey, I originally thought the remnants of the Vortex Demon God would be harder to deal with. With just the protective silk thread shield woven by the Herrscher of Domination, maybe some remnants would spill out, and then you could step in, right? But I didn't expect it to be completely contained... If you want to blame someone, blame Oser." Chen Luo said that he wouldn't take the blame.

"emmm......"

The Demon God of the Vortex was reduced to ashes, so how can you blame the other party?

"Everyone, the remnants of the demon god have been almost completely purified. Next, I'm going to see what's left. Anyone want to come along?" Chen Luo called out to the immortals and the Seven Stars who were arguing fiercely behind him.

"I want to go!" Ying immediately raised her hand.

Although Ying was placed in the middle as a judge by both sides, she was qualified as a traveler, a knight of honor of Mondstadt, and half a representative of Chen Luo.

But Ying didn't like these things at all, because she couldn't understand them at all.

The immortals and the Seven Stars knew that Chen Luo would definitely understand.

But seeing Chen Luo sitting there with a bitter and resentful expression, Ningguang assumed that Chen Luo was monitoring the shield's every move, so she told everyone not to disturb Chen Luo.

If Ningguang knew that Chen Luo wasn't worried about the remnants of the Demon God, but rather was thinking about how to swindle her, she might just grab the Jade Pavilion and fight Chen Luo.

Because this matter involves a wide range of people, everyone intends to go down and find out, including the immortals and the Seven Stars.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the almost empty giant net slowly rose. After rising until it was completely above the water, it suddenly unfolded like flower petals, revealing what was inside.

When Ying and the immortals landed on the unfolded platform in their own ways, they stood steadily on it without sinking into the sea.

On that plane, only a small portion of the vortex demon god's body remains, along with a round bead that only Chen Luo can see.

Under the watchful eyes of the immortals, Chen Luo put the remnants of the demon gods and his own playground into his backpack, without feeding them to the Infinite Serpent, since the remnants of the demon gods were also good materials.

Anything that survives the Heavenly Fire's attack must be something good; there's no doubt about that.

It even contains the essence of the Vortex Demon God, which is a valuable item.

As for that round ball dropped by monsters...

【Poseidon's Power - Residual】

These are the spoils that fell from the Vortex Demon God.

Although the talent panel states that killing enemies does not guarantee item drops, you don't need to worry about this if your enemies are of high quality.

I finally managed to kill a demon god, and you're telling me I didn't get any materials? That doesn't make sense, does it?

Yeah, it was so hard!

【Poseidon's Power - Residual】(S-Rank Talent): You are the overlord of the sea, the eternal god of all marine creatures.

As the vortex demon god, Oser naturally possesses the power to control the sea, but this power is incomplete.

“Hmm…” Chen Luo stroked his chin thoughtfully as he looked at this ability.

To say whether Oser is strong or not, it is definitely strong.

Although to the average person it was just a brutal, hand-to-hand combat with Infinity Serpent, the most intense clash of powers actually took place underwater.

Even during his weakened state, Oser was able to hold out for so long against the Infinite Serpent, which was empowered by various outrageous abilities, demonstrating the immense power he wielded.

"Is this what you call divine power? Even just the incomplete power has reached S-rank. If it were collected completely, it might become SS-rank, turning into Poseidon, the god of the sea?"

Chen Luo felt that the power of the sea god referred to here did not only refer to this world, but was applicable to many more worlds.

Because if judged solely by the standards of this world, the sea power of the Whirlpool Demon God is not incomplete, but rather weak.

Judging by this standard, Zhongli's powers might only be crippled, and Wendy's would probably be the same.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo threw the item into his backpack, keeping it for future use.

Chen Luo did not use it immediately because he felt that the best effect would be obtained if it was synthesized first.

Moreover, even without using it, holding this sphere allows one to utilize a portion of the Sea God's power, much like a superpower crystal.

However, the difference is that this thing cannot be replicated, which is truly a pity.

Otherwise, Chen Luo would immediately make a grand vow after returning to his own world.

May everyone in the world be like a dragon.

What's the big deal?

Chen Luo directly wished that everyone in the world would be like a god!

"Alright, things are settled, I should get going now, bye-bye." Standing on the platform made of silk threads, Chen Luo said to everyone.

"Hey, are you leaving already?" Ying suddenly stopped Chen Luo and said.

"The fight's over, why aren't you leaving for the Lantern Festival?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the other person.

“I was originally planning to have you join me for a celebration banquet, Chen Luo. It would be at the Qunyu Pavilion,” Ningguang said.

"...Don't mention Qunyu Pavilion to me anymore, thank you," Chen Luo said, clutching his chest.

Chen Luo was heartbroken that he couldn't sell Qunyu Pavilion.

"Oh, why?"

"Hmm, I'm so envious that you have the Jade Pavilion." Chen Luo blurted out.

“Yes, the Jade Pavilion is indeed my pride, a unique treasure in the world.” Ningguang stood on the platform woven from silk threads, looking up at the Jade Pavilion flying in the sky.

“Unique… What if someone were to create an exact replica of the Jade Pavilion?” Chen Luo asked, a sudden inspiration striking him.

"Buy it or..."

Destroy it!

Ningguang didn't utter a word, but her meaning was clear.

“Oh, I see. By the way, Ningguang, what you just said—that as long as I defeat the Vortex Demon God, you and Keqing will both owe me a favor—should still stand, right?” Chen Luo said.

“Naturally, it counts,” Ke Qing stepped forward and said.

"Okay. I might contact you later, so be prepared."

"Get ready, what are you going to do?" Ke Qing's heart skipped a beat.

After completing the mission, all Liyue residents' favorability towards Chen Luo increased by 30.

"You'll find out when the time comes," Chen Luo said, without saying it immediately.

Chen Luo couldn't very well tell Ke Qing in front of Ning Guang, "I'm planning to lend you my Qunyu Pavilion so you can leave this thing floating in the sky for a while and then wait for Ning Guang to come and buy it," could he?

Beg me, beg me and I'll sell you the Jade Pavilion.jpg

As for destroying Chen Luo's Jade Pavilion...

Chen Luo didn't think Ningguang would do something so unwise, knowing that Qunyu Pavilion was in her situation.

Even if we disregard that personal favor, we should at least consider the death of the Whirlpool Demon God.

So... I won't sell it for less than 1000 raw stones!

Of course, this is just an idea.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I plan to donate 7.5 million Mora to support the post-disaster reconstruction of Liyue Harbor." Before leaving, Chen Luo suddenly remembered something else.

"I saw it just now. Although the waves from the fight didn't reach Liyue Harbor, many ships were inevitably damaged. The losses must be quite significant. If no compensation is provided, it could cause some damage to Liyue Harbor's economy," Chen Luo said.

"So I'd like to ask the two Liyue 7 stars to use this money properly. But we can't do this by using favors, can we?"

"The favor will not be wasted. Not only did you kill the Maelstrom, but you also provided a large sum of money to support Liyue's post-disaster reconstruction. On behalf of all the residents of Liyue, please allow me to express my gratitude to you," Ningguang said with a smile.

"Thanks are fine, but remember not to mention my name when you use this money for disaster relief and reconstruction."

"Oh? Doing good deeds anonymously?"

"Leave your name. Who said I wouldn't leave my name? It's just that it's not mine," Chen Luo said.

"So, are they planning to keep us here?" Ying popped up.

“No, keep Zhongli’s,” Chen Luo said.

"???"

What does this have to do with Zhongli? This is the question in the minds of those who know Zhongli.

Who is Zhongli? This is a question in the minds of those who do not know Zhongli.

"I wonder if I can give this Rock God candidate right to someone else. It's definitely useless to me, but... what if I give it to Zhongli?" Chen Luo thought to himself as he looked at one of the rewards he had just received.

The 7.5 million Mora were naturally used to boost Zhongli's reputation.

Although they have lost the Geo Archon, I believe that under the leadership of the new Geo Archon Zhongli, Liyue should be able to continue to move forward steadily... right?

Chapter 373 Thousand Tribulations vs. Young Master... (Mourning face)

Chen Luo left, but not completely.

Chen Luo originally intended to leave, but then he received a commission, so of course he had to complete it.

"By the way, Chen Luo, could you help me find Zhong Li?" Ying asked Chen Luo.

Go find it yourself.

"Please don't do this, please." Ying looked at Chen Luo with a hopeful expression.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Finding Zhongli]: We found Zhongli.

Reward: 50 Primogems

Difficulty: One star

"You're incredibly lazy. You want me to do something like finding someone?" Chen Luo was speechless when he saw the request.

If you were asking Chen Luo to beat up the young master, I could understand it, since the other party might not be able to beat him, and I might be there. But why did you issue a task when you were asking someone else to do it?

“So…” Ying asked.

"Get in the car, I'll take you there..." Chen Luo said helplessly.

What can Chen Luoneng do? The raw stones are right in front of him, he can't just turn them down. Although it's only 50 raw stones, it's something he can easily get, so why not do it?

The key point is that Chen Luo has another task.

【Teach the young master a lesson】: As the name suggests, teach that bastard Fool's Enforcer who released the Whirlpool Demon God a lesson and make him pay the price.

Rewards: 150 Primogems + 10 points of affinity with all Liyue Seven Stars + 10 points of affinity with all the Immortals

Difficulty: Two stars

The mission originated from a discussion between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals before Chen Luo left.

It was said that the culprit behind this incident, the foolish executor who released the Vortex Demon God, must pay the price.

Chen Luo just stood there for a moment before receiving a task.

How should I put it? Young Master really is becoming less and less valuable. The last time we had that quest involving the glowing hair that beat up Young Master, it at least gave us 200 Primogems, but now it's only worth 150 Primogems.

So, should we accept this mission or not? Of course we should, so Chen Luo has to go find the young master. Now it's the young master's turn to be unlucky.

And coincidentally, Chen Luo's destiny line ability tells him that Zhong Li and the young master are currently together, so the two tasks can be completed at the same time.

"Let's go, let's go. I'm taking you to find Zhong Li. Destination: Northern Bank. Get ready, we're departing." Chen Luo gently placed his hand on Ying's shoulder.
