Chapter 398 Cooperation
Ningguang nodded slightly, then said seriously: "Su Xun, this matter should actually have something to do with you."
Su Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, showing curiosity: "Oh? Is it related to me?"
“Well, you should still remember the last time you and Chongyun stopped the experiment of Dr. Dongshi Executive, right?” Ningguang said.
Su Xun's eyes flashed with a strange color, and then he nodded slightly, "Of course I remember, that was the first time I met the executive officer of Zhidong. I have to say that the guy is very powerful. I felt very pressured when facing him. What's wrong? Is this matter related to the doctor?"
"Yes, this matter is indeed related to this executive. According to the latest intelligence obtained by Ye Lan, the doctor does not seem to have given up his plan in Liyue. Although the last experiment was destroyed by you, he has been secretly planning new actions recently."
"New action?" Su Xun frowned and couldn't help but look at Ye Lan.
Seeing this, Ye Lan's expression was no longer distracted. She straightened her face and explained, "A few days ago, Ningguang told me that there were some traces of Fatui in Tianheng Mountain, so she asked me to investigate. Last night, I went to Tianheng Mountain in person, and indeed, I found some abnormalities."
"There was a group of Fatui who were packing up and moving some strange instruments. They seemed to be preparing for an experiment. After I captured them and interrogated them, I learned that they were indeed making preliminary preparations for the doctor's new experiment."
Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly and continued, "These Fatui were very stubborn. It took me a lot of effort to pry out this information. According to them, the scale of the doctor's experiment this time seems to be larger than last time, and the goal is more specific. It seems to be targeting some mysterious power in Liyue."
"Mysterious power?" Su Xun touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
What other mysterious powers could Liyue have? Apart from various elemental powers and the remnants of demon gods left in certain places, he could not think of any other possibilities.
"Okay, I understand. But no matter what kind of power it is, you shouldn't come to me. I'm not someone who specializes in studying mysterious powers." Su Xun looked at Ningguang and Ye Lan in confusion.
“Haha, Su Xun, you misunderstood.” Ningguang smiled and explained, “We asked you to come here not to ask you to help study this so-called mysterious power, but to ask you to provide some support to the Qianyan Army.
The doctor's actions will inevitably bring considerable threats, and the Qianyan Army will need some powerful help in dealing with the complex situations that may arise."
“Su Xun, as a Seven-Star Inspector, you have extraordinary strength and can play an important role at critical moments.
Moreover, you successfully stopped the doctor's experiment last time and have a certain understanding of his methods and style of doing things.
This is a very valuable experience when we formulate a response strategy. We hope that you can assist the Thousand Rocks Army at the critical moment and jointly resist the doctor's conspiracy."
“Of course, we also understand that letting you participate may bring you some risks. But for the peace of Liyue, we have to ask for your help.
In return, Liyue will also give you corresponding support and rewards. Whether it is material needs or special honors, as long as you make reasonable requests, we will do our best to meet them. "
"Su Xun, what do you think?" Ningguang looked at Su Xun sincerely, waiting for his answer.
Su Xun pondered for a moment. He was well aware of the danger posed by the Doctor, and he also understood that as a disciple of the Immortal Family and a member of Liyue, he had the responsibility to protect Liyue.
Although he was not keen on getting involved in political struggles, he could not sit idly by when faced with a situation that threatened Liyue's security.
"Okay, I'm willing to assist the Qianyan Army. However, I hope to have a certain degree of autonomy in the operation. After all, I'm not a formal member of the Qianyan Army, and sometimes I may need to make independent judgments based on actual conditions." Su Xun said.
Ningguang smiled and nodded, "Of course. We will fully respect your opinion. As long as your actions are reasonable, we will not interfere."
"Well... and, Su Xun, you don't have to worry too much. The doctor must have known that we had taken away his men and experimental equipment. He might be more cautious in his actions next time and won't act rashly. He might even leave Liyue and not dare to cause trouble here."
“So, if the doctor really chooses to stay out of the spotlight, then this crisis may be temporarily resolved. But we can’t let our guard down either. After all, the doctor’s style of doing things is unpredictable, and no one knows what he will do next.” Ningguang continued.
Su Xun nodded slightly, agreeing with Ningguang's statement.
He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, perhaps we should strengthen our surveillance of various places in Liyue, especially those places where mysterious powers may exist, and be prepared to deal with various situations in advance in case the doctor suddenly attacks."
Ningguang nodded in agreement. "You are right. Next, I will increase the intelligence gathering efforts in Liyue. I will also arrange for the Thousand Rock Army to strengthen patrols and guards at important locations."
After a pause, Ningguang seemed to have thought of something, and said to Su Xun in a serious tone, "By the way, Su Xun, your pocket anchor is very useful. After the last transaction with you, I have been thinking about whether we can have further cooperation and apply the pocket anchor technology to some important affairs of Liyue, such as being able to quickly mobilize troops and resources in an emergency."
Su Xun frowned slightly and said, "It's not easy to make pocket anchors. It requires specific materials. I can't make them in large quantities at the moment. And only the owner of the Eye of God can use them. Didn't I tell you and Keqing about this last time?"
Ningguang nodded slightly. “Of course I remember that, but I thought maybe we could discuss together whether there is a way to improve the manufacturing process of pocket anchors, making them easier to produce and expanding their scope of application.”
Ningguang smiled as she looked at Su Xun and said, "Su Xun, although you have only been studying alchemy for a short time, since you have been able to develop a magical item like the Pocket Anchor Point, I believe you have the potential to do more. I can provide the necessary resources and support to help you with your research and experiments."
“After I helped you build the alchemy workshop last time, you never asked me to reimburse you for the alchemy resources. Are you feeling embarrassed?” Ningguang said half-jokingly.
Previously, a large alchemy workshop was built for Su Xun as a reward from the General Affairs Department for his defeat of Osel for Liyue.
But that was nothing compared to the favor she owed Su Xun. You know, Su Xun helped her save the Qun Yu Pavilion.
So she had said at the time that all of Su Xun's future alchemical resources could be reimbursed by her, but Su Xun never came to her for reimbursement later, which made her feel a little surprised and curious.
