Their commission was suspicious.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Chen Luo. Come to think of it, I'm here to discuss business..." Chen Luo said.

"Oh? It's called compressed biscuits, right?" Hearing Chen Luo's words, Ning Guang became somewhat interested in the business aspect.

"Huh? Oh, you mean that thing?" Chen Luo suddenly remembered.

When Chen Luo and Ning Guang first met, Chen Luo was setting up a stall and wanted to complete some commissions.

At the time, Mona wanted to buy an astrology book worth about 100 million Mora, so Chen Luo sold a lot of boxes of compressed biscuits to a businessman who was interested in it.

Chen Luo was surprised that Ningguang still remembered this matter after so much time had passed, and he was grateful that she was able to find out.

“If you want to buy compressed biscuits, I don’t mind. I can even get you a production line if you want. But the issue I want to discuss this time has nothing to do with that,” Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

Compressed biscuits are indeed a convenient item for people in Liyue or Teyvat.

They have a long shelf life, are easy to carry, and some compressed biscuits even taste okay. They're also waterproof and moisture-proof.

For business people traveling between different countries, compressed biscuits are indeed a very convenient item.

Chen Luo really wanted to buy compressed biscuits, but he didn't need to order them from the bar anymore; he could just buy them from a store outside.

You have to spend gems to buy compressed biscuits at the bar.

"Production line?"

“Okay, the production line isn’t suitable, but that’s not the point. How about something that could change the entire business of Liyue?” Chen Luo asked.

“It could change the entire business of Liyue…” Ningguang lowered her head and pondered.

Ningguang was not unaware that Chen Luo was a visitor from another world.

Yelan had already reported this to Ningguang.

However, the relationship between Yelan and Ningguang was more of a cooperative one, so Ningguang didn't know much more about it.

If Chen Luo is not considered an extremely dangerous person in Ye Lan's judgment, then there is no need for further introduction.

Why is Chen Luo not considered an extremely dangerous individual?

Yelan has a small notebook that records various dangerous people traveling in Liyue.

Chen Luo was originally in this little notebook, but Ye Lan crossed him out later.

Then he specially commissioned a small notebook to record Chen Luo's information.

In Ye Lan's view, the extremely dangerous person was actually praising Chen Luo.

Chen Luo is the kind of person who could bring annihilation to Liyue if he were unhappy.

This doesn't mean that Chen Luo is actually that strong, because Chen Luo is usually quite mild-mannered in the bar, so Ye Lan couldn't accurately judge Chen Luo's combat strength.

Although Chen Luo destroyed half of Lonely Cloud Pavilion with a single Heavenly Fire during the battle to annihilate the Vortex Demon God, there are "perhaps" others on the Teyvat continent who have fought against Chen Luo.

At least in Ye Lan's view, Chen Luo's combat strength at that time was not invincible.

The reason Ye Lan gave Chen Luo a separate notebook was because of the inherent danger Chen Luo possessed.

For example... introducing Honkai to the Teyvat continent.

Yelan was very good at gathering intelligence, so she vaguely learned from Chen Luo that the Honkai world and the Teyvat continent were in the same world.

Yelan was aware of the terrifying extent of the collapse.

After all, a significant portion of the people in the bar are from the Honkai world. If such a terrifying disaster, capable of infecting an entire world, were to truly descend upon the Teyvat continent, not only would the entire Liyue region be wiped out, but the entire Teyvat continent itself might perish.

Fortunately, while Chen Luo's abilities pose a very high level of danger, his personality and behavior suggest a very low level of danger. Therefore, Ye Lan plans to observe him further.

Because he wanted to observe more, he didn't give Ningguang much information.

"Ningguang, you actually paid twice the price to buy all the Crystal Crescent Moon items from Star Pavilion that I reserved three months in advance! And you bought several months' worth at once! That's too much!" Just as Ningguang was thinking, a somewhat angry voice rang out.

Chen Luo and the others looked toward the teleportation point and saw Ke Qing walking toward them with considerable dissatisfaction.

"Hmm, isn't this Chen Luo?" Ke Qing had just arrived when she discovered an unexpected guest.

"Long time no see, Miss Keqing."

"Just call me Keqing. Why didn't you come on the day of the Immortal Ceremony?" Keqing asked directly.

"...Would you believe me if I said I forgot?" Chen Luo said somewhat embarrassedly.

"forget?"

"Well, nobody reminded me either." Chen Luo shrugged helplessly.

"Speaking of which, didn't I give you the bar's business card? Why didn't you go?" Chen Luo asked.

"A bar business card? Did you give it to me?" Ke Qing was taken aback.

"...I've forgotten whether I gave it to you or not, but you definitely didn't go there. You were the one who gave me the IOU through Gan Yu," Chen Luo said.

"IOU, oh right, IOU! Chen Luo, what exactly do you mean? Didn't I already have Gan Yu give you the money? Not only did you refuse to accept it, but you also want me to write you an IOU!" Ke Qing became even angrier when she talked about this.

I was already angry because of that person who tricked me, and now I'm even angrier.

When Chen Luo was setting up his stall, Keqing discovered that he was operating without a license and that he had been arbitrarily logging timber in Liyue, so she immediately fined him.

Later, Qixing wanted to ask Chen Luo to help deliver a message to the immortals. This was recommended by Gan Yu, but Chen Luo wanted a reward.

Chen Luo didn't want anything else, he just wanted Ke Qing to return double the amount of her fine to him.

Shi Qing returned the fine she had just received to Chen Luo, but still owed Chen Luo more than 1 moras.

The agreement stipulates that the money will be returned immediately after the matter is completed.

Ke Qing did return the money, but Chen Luo didn't accept it and instead asked for an IOU.

"Gan Yu, what did you say to Ke Qing back then?" Chen Luo leaned close to Gan Yu and asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Didn't you already receive the IOU?"

"Well, that's precisely why I'm wondering how you managed to convince Keqing, since I've already received it."

Making Keqing write down an IOU for owing Chen Luo over 2 Mora that she hasn't repaid... that's a bit difficult.

"Stop whispering there. I'm just asking you, are you going to return this IOU to me or not?" Ke Qing asked.

Upon hearing Gan Yuchuan's words, Ke Qing wrote an IOU in a fit of anger, but two days later, Ke Qing became increasingly angry.

I, a dignified member of the Seven Stars of Liyue...

"If you pay me back, I'll give you back the IOU."

"Here's 10 Mora. Give me back the IOU." Ke Qing turned around and pulled out a bag of Mora, throwing it to Chen Luo.

"Here's 100 million Mora. Take back these 10 Mora." Chen Luo pulled out an even larger bag of Mora and threw both bags at Ke Qing.

"!!!"

I can't breathe, family.

Chapter 809 Keqing and Ningguang's "Otherworld" Journey

"I'll give you 200 million Mora. You take all your Mora back and return the IOU to me!" Keqing was getting carried away.

Good grief, someone actually dares to compare their wealth with the seven stars of Liyue?

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

"Give me the 200 million Mora." Chen Luo held out his hand.

"...I didn't bring it." After holding back for a while, Ke Qing said.

“Who would carry around 200 million Mora for no reason?” Keqing couldn’t help but say.

Do you know how heavy 200 million Mora is?

"In short, put away your Mora, then return the IOU to me. I'll send someone to collect the 200 million Mora immediately," Ke Qing said.

Two million Mora is nothing to Keqing.

Of course, what was even more crucial was Chen Luo's actions at the time, which made Ke Qing feel that Chen Luo was indeed worth the 200 million Mora.

After all, it was indeed very troublesome and difficult to find several immortals to inform them about the assassination attempt on the Emperor.

Given that hiring a carpenter in Liyue costs 5 Mora a day, you could easily earn 200 million Mora for this kind of job.

"No, if you can give me 200 million Mora now, I'll return this IOU to you."

“Ningguang, lend me 200 million… Never mind, keep the IOU with you for now.” Keqing turned to Ningguang and spoke, but stopped herself halfway through.

If the IOU is with Chen Luo, then Chen Luo can only talk about it for fun at most. But if the IOU ends up with Ning Guang, or if she has a pretext to borrow money, Ke Qing can't imagine what Ning Guang might do.

Although she won't lose anything, Keqing will lose face.

"So, you'll return the IOU to me once I raise 200 million Mora, right?" Ke Qing asked Chen Luo again to confirm.

"I'll give you another 200 million Mora, just don't mention the IOU, okay?" Chen Luo tossed another large bag of Mora at Ke Qing's feet.

Chen Luo wasn't throwing money in an insulting way; the 200 million Mora was just too heavy. If he had actually thrown it to Ke Qing, she might not have been able to catch it.

"..." Ke Qing stared intently at Chen Luo.

Are you looking for trouble?

"However, that's not it. I'm just enjoying the fact that the Liyue Seven Stars owe me money." Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen Luo can only increase his fun level by completing commissions and finding fun.

The humiliation I just suffered in the identity mission needs to be transferred to someone.

Moreover, Chen Luo felt that bringing Shen He home tonight to apply for his identity mission would only result in another setback.

At the same time, for Chen Luo, who can create Mora with the Heart of the Rock God, Mora is indeed not a valuable thing.

"..." Ke Qing never expected that someone would have such a twisted sense of humor.

The key point is that the person in front of us is the one who helped Liyue resist the Vortex Demon God Oser.

Ke Qing is not easy to retaliate against.

Furthermore, the person in front of me is from another world, so there's no way I can engage in any "unspoken rules."

Although Keqing doesn't seem like the type of person who would do something like engaging in underhanded dealings.

"Forget it, I shouldn't have come to Qunyu Pavilion today. I was angry before I came, and I'm even angrier now that I'm here," Ke Qing said helplessly.

“I think you’ve come at the perfect time. You all probably already know that I come from another world, right? This time, I’m here to do some business with you, a business that involves the livelihood of the entire Liyue people. If I remember correctly, Keqing, you’re in charge of land affairs in Liyue, right?” Chen Luo asked.

Each of the seven stars has its own function: Tianquan is in charge of laws, while Keqing is in charge of land and infrastructure.

"Business?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Ke Qing's demeanor instantly changed.

The essence of the Seven Stars is seven great merchants; their attitude naturally changes when they hear the word "business."

However, it is true that the seven stars of Liyue are responsible to the entire Liyue community.

Ningguang watched Chen Luo and Ke Qing quietly from the side, the two of them lost in thought.

“Alright, since this is a business matter, it would be impolite to discuss it outside. Please come in,” Ningguang said to the group.

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo led Xiao Shi and Shen He into the Qunyu Pavilion. Gan Yu was about to leave, but Ning Guang stopped her.

Gan Yu is the secretary of the seven stars of Liyue. Since the business involves the seven stars or even the entire Liyue, Gan Yu is naturally qualified to listen to their opinions.

Shen He simply followed quietly beside Chen Luo, but the Law Master could not remain obedient forever. So after entering the Jade Pavilion, he wandered around aimlessly, without seeking the opinion of Ning Guang, his master.

Or perhaps Ningguang never realized from the beginning that there were other people besides Shen He with Chen Luo.

Although the Herrscher of Consciousness cannot act recklessly in the main world because of Chen Luo, and in the previous civilization, she dared not use the Herrscher of Consciousness's powers without restraint in order to prevent Dr. Mei or others from discovering anything amiss, there is nothing to worry about on the Teyvat continent.

Gan Yu, Ke Qing, and Ning Guang, along with Ning Guang's personal guards and maids stationed at Qunyu Pavilion, were completely unaware of the presence of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo suspected that the Herald of Knowledge could now even go to Sky Island and draw a turtle on the face of the maintainer of the laws of nature without her noticing.

“I have a friend… Don’t look at me like that, this time it’s for real, I have a friend.” Chen Luo’s opening remarks immediately drew sidelong glances from Ke Qing and Ning Guang.

"What's so hard to say? Why use the excuse of 'I have a friend' to cover it up?" Although Chen Luo's explanation was sincere, Ke Qing didn't quite believe it.

Ningguang didn't speak, but her expression reflected that.

I have a friend who is truly a classic example.
