Seeker of Teyvat

Facing the spicy pork steamed bun handed over by Guo Ba, Paimeng's eyes lit up: "Thank you Guo Ba!"

Then she "snatched" the cornbread and stuffed it into her mouth. She was really hungry.

The spicy meat steamed bread suddenly disappeared from his hand, and then disappeared from Paimeng's mouth. Guoba was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiangling: "Lulile~"

Xiangling smiled and patted Guoba's head: "Guoba is so generous, you guys take a rest first, I'll go make you some hot dishes."

"I'm here to help, Ying. You take these two little guys and sit down for a while." Wang Daoyi said and also entered the kitchen.

Entering the kitchen, the two of them cooperated tacitly, you cut the vegetables, and I lit the fire (Guo Ba: grab the job, right?), and soon made a series of delicacies that were very attractive in appearance, smell, and fragrance.

Paimon, who smelled the smell, quickly rushed into the kitchen with the rice dumplings, followed by Ying who was also swallowing his saliva.

"Wash your hands, it's time to eat."

"Great."

……

Early the next morning, Wang Daoyi arrived at Wanmin Hall and found that several friends were already here.

"Good morning, why are you two so early?" Wang Daoyi looked at the heroic and righteous duo.

Although they would meet Xingqiu and Chongyun in Wanmin Hall from time to time, it was very rare to see them so early.

"Good morning, this is something related to you, don't you know?" Xingqiu greeted and then asked.

Wang Daoyi turned into a confused face: "Should I know?"

He was confused by Xingqiu's rhetorical question, and it was related to him. He couldn't figure out what it was. Among the things he had done recently, there was nothing related to these two people.

However, he did not continue to ask Xingqiu. This guy was polite in front of others, but in front of friends like them, he was very sinister. He turned to look at Chongyun: "What happened, does it have anything to do with me?"

Chongyun was much easier to talk to than Xingqiu. When Wang Dao asked a question, he answered directly: "The Sea Lantern Festival is coming. According to the usual practice, the Seven Stars will arrange condolences to the old and young, and you are the founder of the Helping Association. Originally gathered All the orphans in Qingce Village have gone to the assistant academy, so naturally they are related to you."

As soon as Chongyun explained, Wang Daoyi understood.

As the manager of Liyue, Qixing must pay homage to the orphans and elders during the holidays. In the past, most of the orphans and the elderly lived in Qingce Village, but this year is different. Wang Daoyi launched a student aid plan to help those orphans. They all left Qingce Village and came to study at the academy at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

Therefore, Qixing could only divide the condolences teams, one team went to Qingce Village, and the other team went to help the academy.

The large chamber of commerce, which usually followed Qixing's actions, naturally divided the team into two teams.

"Three employees selected by the General Affairs Department will lead people to express their condolences to Qingce Manor. However, Uncle Tian will also go with them, but he will just watch secretly. Elders from my family will also go with them. As for the Scholarship Society, it will be handed over to us young people to lead the team..." Xingqiu took over Chongyun's words and continued to explain.

"I'm the one leading the team!"

A familiar voice came from behind Wang Daoyi. He turned around and saw, hey, the familiar purple-haired croissant.

Behind Keqing, there was a group of people, mostly young people, carrying various supplies, which should be condolences.

"Hey, I guess it's you. There are only three people you Seven Stars can use now. Ningguang is sitting in the center and can't move. The only ones who can come out are you and Uncle Tian. Uncle Tian also went to Qingce Manor, so you are the only one who can come here..."

Wang Daoyi smiled at Keqing.

"Hmph." Keqing snorted arrogantly, ignored Wang Daoyi, and walked straight into Wanmin Hall, "Xiang Ling, are you ready with the pastries you mentioned earlier?"

Xiangling poked her head out of the kitchen: "It's done, it's done, everyone is here, do you want to come in and have some breakfast first?"

Originally, the General Affairs Department prepared pastries separately, but Keqing felt that the pastries prepared by the General Affairs Department focused too much on packaging and were not suitable for giving to children, so she commissioned Xiangling to make some interesting pastries, such as various small animal shapes. cookies.

Regarding Xiangling's invitation, Keqing shook her head: "There are a lot of people. I've already eaten before coming here. Let's go directly to the Student Aid Association."

Then he took the lead and left, and the others immediately followed.

"I haven't eaten yet." Wang Daoyi touched his stomach. He didn't know why, but he just felt that Ke Qing was a little moody towards him.

On the other side, Xiangling and Guoba put the ordinary packaged pastries into the supplies of the General Affairs Department, then came to Wang Daoyi and secretly handed Wang Daoyi one or two big buns: "Brother Daoyi, this is specially reserved for you. "

"Xiang Ling is better!" Wang Daoyi took the big bun and said with a smile.

"That's right!"

……

A group of people came to the academy at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

Here, Abatuyi was already waiting at the entrance of the college with a few old gentlemen.

"Thank you Qixing for your concern for the children. Everyone is playing. Mr. Yuheng, please go and have a look."

Abatuyi now wears Liyue clothes and speaks more and more like a Liyue person.

Keqing nodded and followed Abatui into the academy with a convoy of supplies.

Wang Daoyi followed him in and curled his lips. He was obviously the honorary dean of the college.

When she came to the playground, Ke Qing changed from a smart and capable Yu Hengxing to a kind big sister. She took her friends to play with the children and enjoy cakes together. As for other supplies, they will be sent to the college's warehouse first. They will be assigned to everyone by the college later.

On the other side, Abatuyi walked up to Wang Daoyi: "Boss, long time no see."

Wang Daoyi smiled: "Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Recently, the sales of mechanical toys have been good, and research funds have been abundant. With help from the General Affairs Department, the research progress has also made some progress."

Previously, Wang Daoyi helped Abatoi contact Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and together they developed some clockwork toys. Abatoi provided the drawings, and Feiyun Chamber of Commerce produced and sold them. All the subsequent funds, except for the share from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, were Abatoi's research funds.

However, the help from the General Affairs Department mentioned by Abatoi made Wang Daoyi curious: "Has your cooperation with the General Affairs Department progressed further?"

Nodding, Abatoi said with some excitement: "Boss, do you still remember? That underground factory, the ruins guards we made."

"You mean number one?"

Abatoi's words reminded Wang Daoyi of something. The ruins guard named No. 1 had once left a deep impression on him - the flash of guilt in the giant eyes.

"That's right, Ruins Guard No. 1. Boss, you would never guess that the General Affairs Department brought its mechanical core out of the underground factory. I agreed to do odd jobs for them and help improve some things, so they gave me the mechanical core of No. 1."

[The General Affairs Department is probably trying to absorb Abatoi into the secret vault. ]

Wang Daoyi immediately realized that the one who gave benefits to Abatoi was probably not the General Affairs Department, but the secret library behind the General Affairs Department.

"Giving the right things to the right people is what we should do."

Keqing's voice came from behind.

Wang Dao turned around and asked: "Don't you need to play with the children?"

"Xingqiu has taken them to school." Keqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "We are here to express our condolences, not to take up the children's class time. They have classes to attend, and the others are arranging the distribution of supplies."

Then he turned to Abatoi and did not avoid Wang Daoyi: "I came here this time to ask, how is the research on that thing going?"

Abatoi said with pride: "Master Yuheng, don't worry, the things have already been installed. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Keqing nodded. This was one of the reasons why she came here.

After getting the reply, Abatoi took Keqing out. It seemed that the experimental items were not in the academy.

Wang Daoyi was very interested and followed without saying anything. Keqing glanced at him but did not stop him.

The three of them left the academy and walked at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

"Huh? When did such a large construction site appear here?"

After walking only a few hundred meters, Wang Dao heard a noisy sound. He turned around and found a huge construction site with many workers busy at work. Judging from the scale, it was another very large building.

Keqing said calmly: "The things here are related to you too!"

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Wang Dao was stunned. Why did everything today have something to do with him?

"This is the temple area designated by Ningguang for worshipping the emperor and the immortals." Keqing said in a bad tone, then looked at Wang Daoyi, "Are you satisfied?"

The nonsensical question "Are you satisfied?" made Wang Daoyi's expression freeze.

"Haha, I'm quite satisfied."

"Ningguang said that you were testing us. Can you tell me why?" Keqing turned her head and looked into Wang Daoyi's eyes with seriousness.

Abatoi heard the conversation between the two and inadvertently quickened his pace.

"Oh... so you all figured it out. Why are you angry?" Wang Daoyi saw that Keqing was dissatisfied with his action of testing the Seven Stars.

"Shouldn't I be angry? Aren't we friends?" Keqing spoke her true feelings.

From Keqing's perspective, Wang Daoyi is already a friend or companion, but he still makes such a move to test his own people, which shows his lack of trust in his companions.

In Wang Daoyi's view, Keqing is a companion, the immortal is a companion, but the Seven Stars as a whole is still unknown.

However, Wang Daoyi did not explain further and answered directly:

"Because I also need to know whether the current Seven Stars are worthy of my help."

Wang Daoyi's smile faded away, and he looked seriously into Keqing's eyes: "Now, I know you are worthy of help."

"..." Keqing was silent for a while, said nothing, and quickened her pace.

Seeing Keqing quicken her pace, Wang Daoyi smiled. Keqing is really not cunning. Basically, if you speak sincerely, she will believe you. Of course, the premise is that she thinks you are a good person.

Wang Daoyi also quickened his pace and caught up with Keqing. "You guys are repairing the temple. Do you have any experts? Don't you even know the relationship between the various immortals?"

The relationships among the Liyue immortals are still relatively mysterious in the mortal world. What deeds each immortal did, and what are the relationships among them, these are all knowledge that needs to be understood when building an immortal temple.

He finally had the opportunity to ease the relationship between the Seven Stars and the Immortals, and he didn't want to let this project fail.

Keqing stopped and revealed a hint of arrogance: "You don't think you are the only one in Liyue who understands immortals, do you? Don't worry, we have invited an expert, and he is on the construction site now!"

"Are there any experts in this field in Liyue?"

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the construction site and immediately found that a handsome young man was standing on one side of the construction site. There were several foremen around him, making him particularly conspicuous.

This person... Wang Daoyi was very familiar with him. He had paid his bill not long ago.

That’s right, on the construction site, the person coordinating the foremen was none other than Mr. Zhongli, a guest official from the Wangsheng Hall.

After holding a ceremony to send off the immortals for himself, he took on the job of building a temple for himself.

"This expert... is really an expert." Wang Daoyi's face was full of helplessness. This person was indeed more expert than him.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhongli is well-educated and well-versed in ancient and modern times. If he is in charge of building the temple, he will definitely satisfy everyone. Even immortals will not be able to find fault with it. In order to invite him, Ningguang gave a large sum of money to Wangsheng Hall."

(Hu Tao: I finally see the money I made back.)

When Keqing saw Wang Daoyi being defeated, she didn't know why, but she was very happy.

Zhongli stood at the construction site and glanced at the combination of Wang Daoyi and Keqing from a distance. Without saying hello, he continued to discuss the next matters with the foreman.

As a 'mortal', Zhongli will try his best to complete the task assigned to him by Hu Tao. This is the contract between him and Wangsheng Hall.

After all, the bills for the Wangsheng Hall were not reimbursed for nothing.

Wang Daoyi had no intention of saying hello to Zhongli and continued to follow Abatoi.

As for the matter of the Wind Eagle, I can talk to Zhongli about it later. We are still digging the foundation now, so there is no rush.

The two followed Abatoi all the way and finally stopped in a hidden corner.

"The people from the General Affairs Department helped me build a secret base here, and also sent people to assist me in my research." Abatoi said with a smile, then took the lead and went into the secret door in the corner.

Wang Dao shook his head. It was still unclear whether the people from the General Affairs Department were helping you with research or they were just taking advantage of your results for free.

Then he followed Keqing and entered the secret door.

Behind the secret door is a huge factory, which is even more powerful than the previous underground factory of the Fatui, and the most eye-catching thing is a huge square mechanical device.

"Welcome to enjoy, Abatoi No. 1!"

Behind Abatoi, a huge mechanical device turned, revealing dozens of ballistic holes.

Wang Daoyi was silent. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see a missile launcher.

"This thing? Is it the odd job you did for the General Affairs Department?"

Pointing at the huge machine behind Abatoi, Wang Daoyi asked. This thing doesn't look like something that a handyman could have made.

Keqing looked at the missile launcher with great interest: "Sir Abatoi, can you introduce it to us?"

"Of course!"

Abatoi led the two men to the huge mechanical device, and Wang Daoyi saw that not far away, there were many people in white clothes busy, and the huge assembly line was constantly turning. It was obvious that what was being made here was not just a simple device.

"I named it Abatoi No. 500. It is an offensive mobile mechanical device equipped with guided missiles. It is mainly controlled by a mechanical core. Its detection range is 3000 meters, which is also its normal attack range. With a special signal point, it can extend its attack range to meters."

Wang Daoyi breathed a sigh of relief. Although it had some of the characteristics of a modern missile, it was more like an ordinary artillery and did not have the powerful power of a modern missile.

He was shocked, because he just thought Abatoi had developed the beyond-visual-range missile vehicle.

"Thanks to the support of the Seven Stars, we have improved the Fatui's guided missiles and increased their explosive power. We have also copied the mechanical core of 'No. 1' as the control core of the device. It supports voice control. As long as you input the command, this device will be fully automatic."

"The missile load is 10 per trajectory, a total of 360 missiles per device. The effective killing range of the missile is a radius of 5 to 10 meters. During the test, the average Hill Chow Thug could not withstand a single shot."
