But Cui Si did not chase them recklessly. His last words were just to scare them. Since the person had run away, there was no need for him to chase him.
He came back, took out a new set of clothes, and resumed his initial appearance as a well-mannered clerk. However, people would no longer regard this tough guy who beat people with a brick and slapped treasure-stealing gang members as a clerk.
"Should we catch those who escaped, or should we just ignore them?"
Arthur, who was in the carriage, saw Cui Si coming back and asked a few questions. He thought that Cui Si, who would directly kill the treasure-stealing group if he told him that since they were here, they could be buried here, but he didn't expect that he would not chase them after they ran away.
"It would be better to catch him if we can, but since he's already escaped, it's hard to catch him. This is the only way."
"I see. I understand."
"Smash Varudo!"
The surrounding scenery suddenly became dim, time stopped flowing again, and then the wind was used to sense the location of the escaped people.
One has to sigh that although Cui Si's ideas are weird, his fighting ability is indeed impressive. He single-handedly eliminated more than half of the team of more than 20 people, and only five people escaped.
While time was still stopped, Arthur walked out of the carriage, came to the side of the road, used the wind as his vision, and swung five swords forward, targeting the five people who had escaped.
Then put away the sword.
“And then time started to flow!”
Cui Si had just finished speaking when his eyes flashed and he found that Arthur had appeared outside the car at some point. Also appearing at the same time were several members of the treasure-hunting group who had escaped. They all knelt in front of Arthur, with their hands clasped together.
"Since I can only pull one person at a time, why don't I just stop time and use one sword each?"
"Then I'll leave these people to you. I'm going to take a rest."
Just like that, under the gaze of the treasure-hunting group with grim faces and the confused Cui Si, Arthur returned to the car to continue resting.
Chapter 55: First meeting Keqing and ascending the Jade Pavilion
"Come, let me discuss with you what 'virtue' is."
In the end, Cui Si wasted another piece of clothing, but he did not get any information from the remaining people. He only knew that the man named Wu Duo was the one who summoned them to rob. He knew nothing else. They just wanted to make some money.
Just like that, Cui Si, who changed into new clothes, led the team forward again. There were basically no problems on the rest of the journey. After all, they were already close to Liyue Harbor. Generally, treasure-hunting groups did not dare to get so close. The previous position was already the limit of how close they dared to get.
The Hilichurls and other monsters were cleared out a week ago by Keqing, the German Yuheng Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue, just to prevent any tourists from being harmed before the ceremony of inviting the immortals.
"Everyone, I'll take my leave now. You can go to the Adventurer's Association to submit your missions."
Cui Si bowed to them and left with a cart of wine. The other adventurers said goodbye to Arthur and went to the Adventurer's Association to submit their tasks.
However, there is no deadline for submitting tasks to the Adventurer's Guild. As long as you are sure to complete it, you can go at any time. Thinking of this, Arthur began to stroll around Liyue.
Although there is still a month to go before the ceremony of inviting the immortals, the people of Liyue are just like it is New Year's Day. There are lights and decorations everywhere, and it is very lively. There are also many children playing and having fun on the streets. Everyone is full of longing and pursuit for life.
"People over there, have you registered?"
A girl wearing a mysterious and elegant purple dress, cute cat-ear hairstyle with a cold face, and black stockings with unique patterns appeared in Arthur's eyes.
This person had a bun on his head, or a double spiral bun or an ox horn bun. In short, to Arthur, it looked like a pair of cat ears. Yes, the person who called Arthur was Yuheng, Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Keqing had just dealt with the hillbillies and beasts around her and had just returned to Liyue Harbor when she saw a young man wandering around with nothing to do. Because his clothes were not Liyue costumes, she thought he was just a traveler visiting the ceremony of inviting the immortals, and asked a routine question.
"Registered? Not yet. I accepted a mission from the Adventurer's Guild to escort someone to Liyue. I just happened to be strolling around for a while."
"Adventurer? Then you can go to the Adventurer's Association to submit your mission. The Adventurer's Association will automatically register you."
"Forget it, I'll take you there."
Keqing's character can be described by an idiom: decisive and swift. Since she knew that the person in front of her was not registered, she took Arthur directly to the Adventurer's Association to register.
"Speaking of which, what is your name, young lady?"
"Just call me Keqing."
"Ms. Keqing, my name is Arthur and I am a traveler. How come you knew I was unregistered when you saw me? Did you remember everyone in Liyue?"
Arthur didn't quite understand how Keqing did it. After all, no matter how strong Keqing's mobility was, with so many people coming in and out every day, if she remembered everything, even a machine would be ashamed of itself.
"How could I remember everything? The clothes you were wearing were obviously not Liyue style, and you were wandering around, so I noticed you."
I see. As for clothes, since I’m still wearing the aristocratic costume that I drew at the beginning, it’s of course not in line with the style of Liyue. Since I’m in Liyue, it’s a good opportunity to change my clothes to change my mood.
Arthur silently included the purchase of clothes in his follow-up plan, and then went to the Adventurer's Association with Keqing to complete the task.
It was Catherine again, who received her reward and registered smoothly.
Seeing that Arthur was indeed fine, Keqing decided to leave and continue her work.
"Mr. Arthur, please stay. Ningguang wants to see you."
Just as the two were about to separate, a figure rushed over. It was Cui Si, whom they had not seen for a long time.
Keqing, who was about to leave, was also attracted by Cui Si's words. She looked at the man she had just met. What kind of charm did a traveler who had just arrived in Liyue have that could attract Ningguang?
It's normal for adventurers to have fighting ability, but I didn't see Arthur wearing the Eye of God. Could it be his appearance? After looking at Arthur, emmm, no, Ningguang can't be someone who is attracted by beauty, but Ningguang is indeed old enough to get married.
No, if it was Ningguang, it must be because of interests, but due to insufficient intelligence, I really can’t think of anything.
"Ok."
Arthur was not surprised that Ningguang discovered him. Or rather, he might have been noticed when he first joined the team. But he didn't know why Ningguang invited him. Was it because of his strength, his reputation, or his identity as the God of Wind that only a few people knew?
"Wait, I'm going too!"
Keqing, who was still thinking divergently, stopped guessing. After all, it would be better to just ask directly in person. As for whether Ningguang would tell her, she would have to wait until they met to find out.
"Okay, I'll lead the way then."
Following Cui Si's guidance, they came to the reception area next to Yuehai Pavilion. Cui Si communicated with the other party and let Arthur and Keqing take the floating stone to Qun Yu Pavilion.
When they arrived at the Jade Pavilion, they saw a dining table filled with delicious food. Ningguang sat at the main seat, with only two chairs placed next to her, waiting for the two of them to sit down. Ningguang was also informed of Keqing's arrival in advance, and Keqing sat aside without any hesitation.
He even asked the secretary beside him to bring the bowl and chopsticks and started eating without being polite to Ningguang at all.
Arthur sat somewhere else, but he wasn't in a hurry to eat. Instead, he wanted to hear what Ningguang wanted to do with him.
"Mr. Arthur, I have heard of your name even in Liyue. I didn't expect to see you in Liyue."
The cat on the side looked at Arthur, then at Ningguang, not knowing what they were talking about. Why did Ningguang act as if Arthur was very famous?
"What should I call you? Should I just call you Arthur, or should I call you the God of Wind?"
"Cough cough!"
When Keqing heard Ningguang's words, the food she had just eaten went directly into her trachea, causing her to cough. Fortunately, Baiwen, who was standing beside her, handed Keqing a silk handkerchief so that she could wipe the food residue from her mouth.
"The Knights should have already stated that I am not the God of Wind, so just call me Arthur."
"Then, Mr. Arthur, can you please do us a favor? According to my secret analysis, this attack by the treasure-stealing group was not a coincidence, but was organized and planned. We don't know what they want to do yet, so can you help us solve the source of the problem directly?"
"Of course, the investigation has been completed. I will send Cui Si to take you to the other party's lair. As for the reward, you can ask for it at will."
The last time I mentioned the remuneration casually, it was for the lady of God's Heart. Ningguang is indeed a rich woman. Looking at any ornament around her, the price is probably enough to allow a person to have no worries about food and clothing.
As for Ningguang's commission, there was of course no need to refuse. Although she had no idea about the reward, it was just an opportunity to see what the treasure-hunting group was trying to do.
"Okay, I'll take it. I don't need any compensation. Just prepare a set of Liyue clothes and a temporary place to stay for me. When do we leave?"
"If you have time, you can do it now. I will let Cui Si take you there. As for the reward, if you are in Liyue Harbor tomorrow, I will send someone to contact you. If you are not in Liyue Harbor, I will let Cui Si take you here when you come back."
Then they stopped talking and started enjoying the food on the table. After finishing the meal, Ningguang sent someone to take Arthur to Yuehai Pavilion, and Cui Si was waiting for Arthur there.
In the Qun Yu Pavilion.
"Ningguang, who exactly is Arthur?"

Thank you Pudding for your care all the time, and all the brothers for your support. Without your support, I might not have been able to persist until now.
It seems like there isn't much to say in my remarks, so I'll just do a few Q&As.
Q: Will there be additional chapters after the release? How many chapters will there be?
A: I will start with five updates tomorrow. I have been coding since 3 a.m. today. In order to save the manuscript, I feel like going to bed now, but I have held myself back. I will go to bed as soon as I finish posting and continue tomorrow.
Q: The title of this book is Funny Skills. Has it deviated from the title now?
A: The various abilities in the later part of this article are still mainly for comedy, mainly various funny series abilities and skills that are modified from the jokes. Just as the author said before, some famous scenes from the Honkai Impact 25rd CV will be turned into skills, including but not limited to father-in-law, Little N, etc. There are also some -year-old series skills responsible for spoofs. The owner of the skills is surnamed Chen, and it is estimated that he will be obtained by Arthur in the article soon.
These are the general questions that can be thought of. If you have other ideas, you can send a private message to the author, or join the author’s small group (816425745) to discuss the plot, or make suggestions for the protagonist’s future skill tree.
Finally, thank you all for your continued company. I believe that with your company, this book will get better and better.
Chapter 1: Convincing People with Reason (5/)
The cat head in the Qun Yu Pavilion was still discussing Arthur's identity with Ningguang, and the person being discussed had now come to the Wanmin Hall under the leadership of Cui Si.
"Don't rush to go. I tell you, when you arrive in Liyue, you don't have to go to Xinyue Pavilion or Liuli Pavilion, but you must come to Wanmin Hall, especially when Xiangling is here."
As they were talking, the two of them came to Wanmin Hall. The shop was not big, but there were many people. They saw a man in the middle cooking in the shop, a little girl walking between the kitchen and the hall, and a mascot serving meals to the guests.
"Xiangling, give me one portion as usual. What do you want to eat, Arthur?"
"I'll just do the same as you."
"Okay, two servings as usual!"
"Okay, just wait a moment."
Following Xiangling's words, a voice came from the kitchen. After a while, a mascot over one meter tall came over with two plates.
"Guoba, you've worked hard today, come and have some shrimp balls."
After Cui Si waited for Guoba to bring the dishes over, he took a shrimp ball from the plate and handed it to Guoba. Guoba seemed to be very familiar with Cui Si. He swallowed the shrimp ball in one gulp, then shook his hand and continued to help.
"Eat it while it's hot, or it won't taste good when it gets cold. Speaking of which, Arthur, you could discuss cooking with Xiangling, but it's too bad it's time for dinner now, otherwise you two could get to know each other."
"Oh, that little fellow is called Guoba. He has always been by Xiangling's side. Usually he helps Xiangling light the fire, but now he is too busy to handle it. Xiangling has asked Guoba to deliver the food."
Cui Si ate and talked at the same time, and soon he finished the shrimp balls on the plate.
"Should we take a good rest today and go tomorrow, or should we just finish it all at once today and take a good rest tomorrow?"
After coming out of Wanmin Hall, Cui Si finally brought up the matter regarding work.
"It's all right. If it can be resolved today, that would be best. I might need to go find someone to meet tomorrow."
"Well, come with me."
Cui Si did not ask Arthur, who had just arrived in Liyue, who he was looking for. After all, it was a personal matter and there was no need to ask. He was not in charge of intelligence work and was not that curious.
The two of them did not call for a carriage. After all, the treasure-hunting group was not blind. They would definitely notice the carriage as soon as it came. Moreover, the speed of the carriage might not be as fast as that of two people.
On the way, on a cliff, Arthur finally saw Cui Si's weapon. It was no longer the brick called "De", but a two-handed sword. Perhaps it was not right to call it a two-handed sword. It should be called a mace or a big iron rod.
You can tell what this weapon is called at first glance, but I'm just curious about who Cui Si's teacher was. He used a brick to convince people with "virtue" before, but this time his weapon is simply called convincing people with reason.
That's right, it's the sword that seems out of place among the two-handed swords. The material and workmanship are very simple, it is made of melted fine steel. Compared with other weapons, it is far superior to other weapons in terms of durability and deterrence. However, because it is made of fine steel, it is troublesome for ordinary people to pick it up, and it has no blade. Although it is called a two-handed sword, it can only be used as a blunt weapon, so few people use it.
I didn't expect to see it today.
Arthur was still curious about why Cui Si took out his weapon on this cliff. He saw Cui Si took out a bundle of ropes from his clothes and tied them to the tail of Yilifuren. Then he swung the rope with one hand. The high-speed rotation even made a sound of breaking through the air. Then the sound of breaking through the air stopped, and Yilifuren flew to the top of the slope at an extremely fast speed, and then crossed the top of the slope.
Cui Si pulled the rope, and after making sure it would not slide, he grabbed the rope and climbed up the cliff. Arthur now understood that this was using the weapon as a grappling hook to climb the mountain, but would anyone normally use an iron rod more than one meter long as a grappling hook? For ordinary people, let alone throwing it over the top of the mountain, it would be a problem for them to even use it normally.
Arthur took off slowly and flew over the cliff and reached the top of the mountain. He also saw the man who was thrown up to convince others with reason. The iron rod was heavily inserted into the ground. No wonder it could support Cui Si's weight.
After Cui Si came up, the two continued on their way. In this way, they moved forward in a straight line all the way. When they encountered a mountain, they continued to climb over it. When they encountered a low mountain, they just jumped down. After a while, they arrived in the middle of two mountains.
"We're here. According to information, the gang is hiding here."
Just now I went back to Tianheng Mountain and now I came to Lilisha Suburb. Looking down from the top of the mountain, I saw a group of treasure-hunting groups setting up camp in front of the ruins, which should have been uninhabited. There was another circle of treasure-hunting groups patrolling on the high ground on both sides of the only path.
I think they have already regarded this place as a formal camp. I glanced at the densely packed black dots below and there were probably one or two hundred people. I didn't expect that the treasure-hunting group, which should be a small group of people, would have so many people gathered together at once.
Either there was a mastermind who provided them with supplies and then summoned them to carry out an important task, or something unexpected happened within the treasure-hunting group, causing the originally scattered treasure-hunting group to suddenly gather together.
But either way, it proves that they have something to do.
"Arthur, what should we do? Should we just kill them?"
