Master Pantalone has no crazy plans today

As he spoke, Pantalone greeted the owner of the teahouse next to him for the checkout.

After paying for the tea, Pantalone got up and left. Before leaving, Pantalone greeted Zhongli.

"Since that's the case, let's stop here for the time being. I hope I can meet Mr. Zhongli again by fate."

While chuckling, after Pantalone finished greeting, Pantalone's figure disappeared from Zhongli's sight.

Only Zhongli, who was holding the cup of hot tea in his hand, remained silent, which he could not forget for a long time.

After Pantalone finished talking with Zhongli, he left the tea stall and walked on the streets of Liyue Port.

Misty misty rain fell from the gray sky, and splashed ripples on the wet ground, as if blossoming pure hearts were blooming.

The entire street is covered by this drizzle, and the hazyness of everyone, for Pantalone wearing this Liyue traditional costume, walking under the rain-colored sky, can not help but form a poetic picture.

Even though he had already gotten used to the scenery of Liyue Harbor during this period of time, at this time he was still willing to walk here slowly with his own footsteps and look at the scenery with his eyes.

For Pantalone, this is another kind of scenery that is different from the blizzard of the solstice and the sky and grasslands of Mond. This kind of quaint fragrance is filled with a unique charm that can only be found in this land of Liyue. Compared with other countries, this feeling always makes him feel a kind of familiarity.

This is the same even if you are in a foreign country or even another world.

This feeling cannot be given to him by any country in this world except Liyue, even if he knows that this country is different from the land in his memory, it is enough for him to regain some familiar feeling.

However, the scenery along the way is just passing clouds after all, and he will not forget what his real purpose is.

After the leisure time is over, the next thing is working time.

Changing from the previous casual posture, the expression on his face turned into that indifference.

After crossing the end of the street, he saw the carriage that had been waiting for him on the side of the street.

Around the carriage was an intellectual young man dressed in Liyue traditional costumes, and another man in the uniform of the Fools. At this moment, they were waiting for his arrival in a very respectful manner.

He is Yusupov, the person in charge of the Fools' ambassador to Liyue.

After seeing Pantalone's arrival, he walked up almost immediately and greeted Pantalone respectfully.

"Master Pantalone, we have already prepared the things you asked me to arrange. As long as your order comes down, we can start to act at any time."

"You're doing well, Yusupov, but I want to know more about the candidates than those things."

Pantalone responded to the answer from the stupid ambassadors named Yusupov, and then asked another young man with an intellectual aura who looked like a Liyueman beside him.

"Yes, Master Pantalone."

After receiving Pantalone's question, the young man dressed as a Liyue man replied with the same humble attitude.

In the midst of humility, there seems to be a hint of awe and worship in it. If I have to give a specific example, it is probably the pilgrimage-like expression of fanatics when they see their idols.

Regarding the performance of the young people beside him, the ambassador of fools named Yusupov was not surprised.

As Yusupov's adjutant to the Fools' ambassador to Liyue, he witnessed the preparations during this period with his own eyes.

Pantalone has easily established a huge network of relationships in Liyue. This kind of thing that is unimaginable to others is really too simple for the "rich man" who is one of the executive officers of the fools.

As a man who plays with wealth, Pantalone himself is one of the most understanding executives.

It might be hard for him to imagine that just casually going around to have a meal and find someone to chat with can provoke a seemingly incredible upsurge, and this is just Pantalone's casual effort.

He knew very well that this was not even a deliberate act for the wise master Pantalone.

He could even imagine that for Master Pantalone, it was just an idle move arranged in his spare time to pass the time.

But even though Pantalone has never deliberately done this, there are still many people among these people who are impressed by Pantalone and at the same time have a fanatical admiration for him and regard him as an idol.

The young man named Zhiyi in front of him is one of them, and Pantalone is not stingy in giving him advice on this.

Zhiyi, who was born in poverty, has a deep obsession with power. A person like him from a poor background desperately hopes that he can change his class by gaining power.

For him, the appearance of Pantalone is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity seized and encountered by a person who is extremely eager to turn himself out of the quagmire.

For such an opportunity, for a person like him who wants to urgently change his own class no matter what, he absolutely cannot allow himself to let go of such an opportunity.

Especially after talking with Pantalone, knowing about Pantalone's past experience, he is even more convinced that Pantalone is the goal and object worthy of following and emulating.

This made him firmly believe that he was on the right path, and he devoted himself to Pantalone's command.

And Zhiyi's performance did not disappoint Pantalone's investment in him. In a very short period of time, he has obtained excellent reputation and high influence, and has become one of the candidates with the highest potential among current investment targets.

However, Zhiyi is not special to Pantalone. Pantalone has also arranged several people for someone like him who has been instructed by Pantalone and given investment opportunities.

It's just that among the people Pantalone has invested in, Zhiyi is indeed one of the best performers so far.

After getting Pantalone's permission, Zhiyi also reported his situation to Pantalone.

"Yes, Master Pantalone, with the help and encouragement of fools, during this period of time, I have successfully become one of the most satisfied disciples of Tianshu Star, one of the current seven stars, and have accumulated excellent reputation."

"This makes my current status under the Tianshu Star Gate soar. Even among the many disciples under the current Tianshu Star Gate, I am one of the most valued."

"If there is no accident and continue to develop according to this situation, I will basically be a candidate for the next Seven Stars, but..."

This made Pantalone, who noticed Zhiyi's hesitation, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, then looked at Zhiyi and asked.

"Just what?"

Although Zhiyi hesitated and hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and expressed his true thoughts under Pantalone's gaze full of deterrence and oppression.

"It's just that I feel that I have temporarily encountered a bottleneck period. At present, the growth rate of my reputation and influence has reached a stage. I think that according to the current progress, I may not be able to catch up with our plan."

"This made me have to start thinking recently whether I should take some extraordinary measures to further speed up the necessary means for me to further increase my power, but I was worried that this might destroy your arrangement, so I did not choose to do it."

After hearing what Zhiyi said, Pantalone saw what was going on at a glance.

Due to the urgent desire to gain power and the active desire to express himself, this made Zhiyi feel anxious about the current stagnation.

His fear that falling behind would lead to disappointment with his efficiency led him to consider whether he should take special measures to maintain his current advantage.

However, he didn't think that this was Zhiyi's idea that he dared to do it alone. People who didn't have enough rights were secretly helping him to do this kind of thing, and he undoubtedly couldn't do this kind of thing alone.

This made him can't help but glance at Yusupov beside Zhiyi, which made Yusupov standing beside Zhiyi subconsciously break out in cold sweat, lowered his head and dared not look directly at the gaze and gaze.

After watching Yusupov's performance, Pantalone did not immediately pursue Yusupov's self-assessment decision, but said to Zhiyi calmly.

"That's not something you need to consider. Compared with efficiency, I pay more attention to whether this will bring hidden dangers to my plan. Compared with so-called efficiency, I don't like people who are extravagant and smart."
