"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Shaking his head and looking at the happy Alicia helplessly, Yu Qi turned to look at Lei Dianzhen who was sitting at the table and asked.

"Zhen, how do you feel? Is the body I created for you through my dream still suitable?"

"Hmm~" Looking down at his body that seemed real, Lei Dianzhen showed a hint of amazement in his eyes.

"If it weren't for my strong mental power, I wouldn't have realized that this body was a fake before I really used my power!"

"Can the power of Huanmeng be used in this way? Back then, Buyer, oh, that is, the Great Compassion Tree King, didn't seem to have developed this ability, right?"

In Lei Dianzhen's opinion, except that there may be some loopholes in the eyes of the devil, from the perspective of mortals, Yu Qi's power is no different from that of the 'Void Creation'.

"Well, this was actually a sudden inspiration for me." Yu Qi smiled a little embarrassedly, but there was confusion in his eyes.

"It was fine before when I was with Nashida. I can only barely control and modify the dreams of ordinary people."

"But now... I feel like I can do more."

Normally, the dream power used by Nashida is basically only effective on living individuals, such as humans, birds, beasts and various monsters.

And because of Nashida's identity as the 'Lord of Grass', she can also read the 'dreams' and 'memories' of plants such as grass and jungles.

Nashida demonstrated all of these to Yu Qi last night. Although he was surprised, he didn't find it surprising at all.

But after Yu Qi woke up and his soul and body adapted to each other, he was shocked to find that his dream power seemed to have undergone some strange changes.

In addition to the dreams of humans, animals and plants, he now...seems to be able to make the world start dreaming?!

Yu Qi couldn't explain what kind of ability it was. In short, he just controlled the "dream" of the world around him according to the feelings in his heart.

The figure of Lei Dian Zhen appeared in the 'dream' of the world, and then the dream and reality were confused with each other, and a body of Lei Dian Zhen that was both real and fake was created out of thin air.

"According to my feeling, you shouldn't be able to leave me more than ten meters."

With a hint of regret in his tone, Yu Qi said helplessly: "Otherwise, the power of dreams cannot cover reality, and your body will return to the dream again."

"At least, with my current abilities, this is all I can do."

"Ten meters? That's okay." Lei Dian smiled and didn't feel any regrets. "It's a great honor for me to experience the feeling of 'coming alive' again. How can I be picky?"

"As long as you can accept it."

"Well, no matter what, isn't it worth celebrating that you guys have regained your bodies and 'come back to life'?" With a smile on her face, Alicia approached Raiden Makoto and held her hand, pretending not to care.

"So, you're really going to live in the store from now on, right? How about I take you to pick a room and decorate it together?"

"Ah, if it's okay, then I'll trouble Miss Alicia..." Although he was a little uncomfortable with Alicia's enthusiastic attitude, looking at the sweet smile on the girl's face, Lei Dianzhen nodded after hesitation.

"No trouble, no trouble." With a hint of excitement in her eyes, Alicia took Lei Dianzhen's hand and walked out the door.

"Then Boss, we're leaving first. Breakfast is downstairs, remember to eat!"

"I understand." Helplessly looking at the excited Alicia, Yu Qi shook his head, stood up and walked downstairs.

In the lobby downstairs, as if to prove that he was worthy of the job and the salary paid by Yu Qi, Zhu Zi had already started cleaning the shop early.

Although I had just cleaned it yesterday, there was nothing worth cleaning again.

"Good morning, Zhuzi, have you eaten?"

"Ah, boss, I've eaten."

Walking to the table, picking up the breakfast and casually stuffing it into his mouth, Yu Qi looked at Zhu Zi who was wiping the table non-stop, almost wiping it to a mirror finish, and couldn't help but feel a frown on his face.

"Okay, Zhuzi, you don't have to keep wiping the table. If you keep wiping it, the surface will peel off. Go open the door for a while. If there are customers, tell them that it is not yet business hours and please come back after nine o'clock."

"Yes, boss." Zhu Zi quickly put away the rag and obediently opened the shop door. Looking at the crowd of people outside the door, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Um, boss, there seem to be a lot of people outside the door."

"Don't worry about it." After taking a sidelong glance, Yu Qi instantly saw several familiar figures, who seemed to be people from the Eight Gates. He immediately shook his head.

"Everyone, our store is not open yet. Please come back after nine o'clock in the morning."

Hearing Zhu Zi's tone, which was a little fluctuating but still calm, Yu Qi looked at her in surprise.

Before, Yu Qi recruited Zhu Zi to work in the store purely because he wanted to do a good deed and help her; but looking at her current performance...

Facing so many people, he can still remain so calm. It’s not difficult to be competent for this job!

After hastily finishing breakfast, Zhu Zi took Yu Qi's bowl and chopsticks on his own initiative, walked into the kitchen and started washing them, then carefully handed Yu Qi a warm towel to wipe his mouth.

This series of services made Yu Qi feel a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he simply took out the alchemy book that Zhongli gave him and sat behind the counter to read it.

Until nine o'clock...

Chapter 129: Changes in the Rocky Abyss

As the time came to nine o'clock in the morning, a person who had been waiting at the door of the store for a long time couldn't wait to squeeze in.

"Hello, welcome, how may I help you..." Zhu Zi greeted him with a business smile on his face that he had practiced for a long time while hiding in his room at night.

However, before she could finish her welcome, she saw the guest walking straight towards Yu Qi who was sitting behind the counter and said, "Boss Yu..."

Seeing Yu Qi waving at him, indicating that he would entertain this guest personally, Zhu Zi silently turned around to greet another guest.

"Welcome, what can I do for you?"

"Boss Yu Qi, I want to buy one thousand bottles of blood-recovering pills and five hundred bottles of body-strengthening pills. I also wonder if you have any medicine that can remove evil curses. I want them all..."

"No, wait a minute..." Looking at Mu Ning who spoke so many words in one breath, Yu Qi put down the book and said speechlessly: "Didn't you just buy a hundred bottles of blood recovery pills from me two days ago? Why do you want them again now?"

"That's 1,600 blood-recovering pills. You've eaten them all in just two days? Now you want to buy 1,000 bottles of blood-recovering pills and 500 bottles of body-strengthening pills in one go? No, you guys are eating this stuff as if it were your meal?"

Yu Qi was really confused. More than a thousand blood-restoring pills. Although it didn't sound like a lot - at least compared to the tens of thousands of miners under Huishan Hall, it was not a lot.

But how could Yu Qi not know the effect of the blood-restoring pill?

Even in a fantasy world like Teyvat, it can be considered a high-end healing medicine. Although it cannot do such bizarre things as bringing people back to life or regenerating severed limbs, it is more than enough to pull people back from the brink of serious injury.

Under normal circumstances, let alone five thousand Mora for a bottle, there would be a lot of people rushing to buy even five thousand Mora for a pill.

If you ignore the cost, Yu Qi's behavior of selling the blood-restoring pills is completely a loss-making business, purely selling at half price and giving it away for free.

Ahem, back to the topic, originally according to Yu Qi's estimation, these blood-restoring pills purchased by the Seven Stars and Eight Gates should be able to last at least half a month even for Keqing.

For departments like Shenglu Hall and Yinyuan Hall, even one month is more than enough.

As a result, Mu Ning now told him that they had used up all the one hundred bottles of blood recovery pills in just two days?!

You really think this medicine is free, and you don't feel bad about wasting it, right? Although this thing is just something he can make easily, it can't be wasted like this.

"No, Boss Yu, we didn't waste any of your miracle medicine." Seeing what Yu Qi was thinking at a glance, Mu Ning showed deep bitterness on his face and tried to explain.

"Except for the first bottle we used to confirm the efficacy of the medicine, we used every single one of the remaining blood-recovery pills in the most critical places."

"So, you're telling me that your Huishan Hall has over a thousand seriously injured people in just two days? Are you kidding me? Even if it was a mine collapse, it wouldn't be that outrageous, right?!"

With a sneer, Yu Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and complained: "If you said there were hundreds of seriously injured, I could barely believe it, and just think of it as you accidentally encountered a monster riot, but more than a thousand..."

"Oh, this..." Mu Ning was struggling and opened his mouth to explain, but seemed to have some reservations.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, looked up and looked around the shop, where customers were buying pills in groups of three or four under Zhu Zi's reception. He lowered his voice and said, "Boss Yu Qi, may I have a word with you for a moment?"

"..." Looking up at him, Yu Qi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

As he spoke, he stood up and took Mu Ning into the side room, then he waved his hand and laid down an electromagnetic barrier: "Okay, this way other people won't be able to hear us talking."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Curiously looking at Mu Ning, whose expression suddenly relaxed and seemed to have made up his mind, Yu Qi poured him a cup of tea: "It's impossible that what I said was right, that the mine cave collapsed, right?"

"If it's really the mine that collapsed, that's fine!" With a helpless smile, Mu Ning picked up the teacup and drank it down in big gulps without caring about his manners. Some water stains wet his collar.

"There's a problem in the Rocky Abyss!"

"Layered Rock Abyss?" His eyes suddenly focused. Hearing this familiar place, Yu Qi couldn't help but look at Mu Ning deeply, and then lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes.

"I remember that place is the largest ore producing area in Liyue. What kind of problem could have happened there to cause such heavy casualties in Huishan Hall?"

That was also the place where Fushe fought his last battle!

Some fragmented memories emerged in his mind, recalling the monsters that emerged from the ground like waves. Yu Qi pursed his lips, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

It can't be possible that the 'disaster' from five hundred years ago has come again? !

"Alas, the original order from above was to keep silent about what happened in the Layered Rock Abyss." Mu Ning sighed, looking particularly tired, and seemed to be talking to himself as if he was trying to convince himself.

"But now, the noise is getting bigger and bigger, plus there are hundreds of thousands of miners... it's probably impossible to hide it anymore."

"I guess after a while, Qixing will issue a new order. Now, it's not impossible to disclose it to you, Boss Yu Qi."

After all, even though the boss Yu Qi had only been in Liyue for a few days, from what Mu Ning knew, he already had a close relationship with Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall and Lady Keqing of the Yuheng Star, one of the Seven Stars.

Even Lady Ganyu, the Seven Stars' chief secretary, had an affair with him.

No matter how you look at it, Mr. Yu Qi is not an ordinary person. Therefore, even if I reveal the news to him, I believe that those big shots will not blame me too much.

He felt a little relieved in his heart. Although he knew that he was just deceiving himself, Mu Ning still felt a little relieved.

"Actually, it was like this. About three or four months ago, some strange things happened in the mines in the Layered Abyss."

"At first, some miners felt dizzy, nauseous and vomited, but because there were few of them and similar situations had happened to others before, we didn't pay much attention to it and just let them rest for a while."

"Later, the miners' emotions seemed to become unstable, and many violent conflicts caused by verbal disputes occurred in the underground mine area."

"However, because the miners were in the dark underground and had not seen the sun for a long time, they were naturally a little depressed. We did not think much about it and just comforted the miners a little."

"Later, I don't know when it started, but there were frequent attacks by monsters in the underground mines, including rock dragon lizards, hillock people, slimes, mushroom beasts running over from Xumi, and even relic machines..."

"Hordes of monsters began to emerge from the underground of the Layered Abyss, occupying the mine tunnels and caves. Many miners were attacked by them, and many mines were shut down as a result."

"us……"

"You guys haven't taken it seriously yet?!" Yu Qi interrupted in surprise. Looking at the stiff expression on Mu Ning's face, Yu Qi couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Is the management of your Huishan Hall so rough?"

"When you encounter these unusual situations, you won't even investigate further?"

"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that... we don't have that much time." Sighing, Mu Ning said half-arguing and half-explaining: "These things have happened before, and in the end they were gradually settled without causing any major problems."

"This time it's just a little bigger in scale, and we haven't thought about it in other directions."

"...Okay." After pouring another glass of water for Mu Ning, Yu Qi stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.

"Because the mine was forced to stop production, in order to ensure the output of ore and gems, we took the initiative to contact the Qianyan Army and asked them to come and clear out the monsters."

"At the beginning, there were no problems. The monsters in the surface and underground mining areas were almost completely wiped out by the Qianyan Army, and the mines resumed production."

Taking a sip, Mu Ning sighed deeply: "Just when we thought things would pass like this, even bigger trouble appeared."

"In the underground mining area, a black sludge suddenly began to appear, gushing out from the ground and occupying many mine caves and mine tunnels."

"Any creature that touches the black mud, whether it is a monster, an ordinary animal, or a human, will inexplicably fall into a frenzy and madly attack every living person around them."

"The most important thing is that the creatures contaminated by this sludge are not only stronger and faster, but their defense and recovery abilities are also greatly improved."

"Even the Qianyan Army can only maintain its front line with difficulty under the attack of such monsters. In addition, a large number of monsters have been born from the veins in the mine recently..."

"Huh... Honestly, the casualties in the Layered Rock Abyss are indeed huge! If it weren't for the fact that a few immortals came a while ago and cleared out the monsters in the underground mining area and sealed the ground veins with immortal magic."

"The Seven Stars have probably already ordered a complete blockade of the Layered Rock Abyss."

"So? Why not seal it off?" Yu Qi frowned and looked at Mu Ning: "According to you, even if the immortals took action, they still couldn't solve the problem of the Layered Rock Abyss? Now so many people are injured every day, is it worth it to persist like this?"

"It's not that simple!" Hearing Yu Qi's words, Mu Ning's voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees.

Looking up at him, Mu Ning said with fatigue that could not be concealed: "It's not that I don't want to block it, but I can't block it!"

"The Chasm is the largest mine in Liyue. If it is blocked, at least hundreds of thousands of miners will be unemployed."

"Including their families, the number of people directly or indirectly affected is close to one million..."

Mu Ning sighed deeply and shook his head: "Think about it, if so many miners really become idle, how will the Seven Stars accommodate them? How will their families live without a source of income?"
