Chapter 290 Yuheng's Commission, Preparation for the Sea Lantern Chapter
In the inner world, beside the stone table in the bamboo forest, Gui Zhong looked at Keqing in tears and laughter as she fiddled with her twin ponytails and looked shy. Compared with the impression of her being decisive when they first met, there was indeed a huge contrast.
"This Miss Keqing is really interesting. Although she misunderstood Xiaoli due to an accident, even after seeing such a misleading scene, she just used her own power to control Xiaoli and observe the surrounding situation. She is worthy of being the Seven Star Heir. She is calm and decisive."
"How can you use a child to evaluate the quality of the Seven Stars? If he knew about this, he might have to wait for several days."
"Hey! Anyway, Xiaoli has been slacking off for a long time. If he really cares, he will definitely cut off the live broadcast."
"That's not a problem. The child's personality is an example of jumping back and forth between fun and calmness, slacking off and being diligent."
Morax sighed helplessly. For him, who was already used to Ye Li's personality, this was really too much of a trick.
Not to mention the various small civilian inventions that look gorgeous but have little actual use but are very widely used.
Just take the plan to develop the mechanical assembly line and the mass-produced cave heaven as an example, which were things he dared not even think about, and Ye Li had actually figured out something about the latter. Perhaps the reason behind this might also be caused by the inner world under his feet now.
It can only be said that the power from outside the world has brought opportunities to change the world. His current strength is also constantly increasing, which is helped by the improvement of the rules of the inner world.
It has long been a cliché that Teyvat is not a complete world, but the creatures inside don't care much about it.
Now that Morax has become stronger, he is no longer afraid of the threat from the Upholder of Heavenly Justice. However, he will not take action in the short term as he abides by the contract. The power of the Heart of God is just a tool of communication for him, or a bargaining chip for contract transactions, and he basically just keeps it on him to collect dust.
As for why the Upholder of Heavenly Justice still wanted to release the Heart of God to Morax, from the Upholder of Heavenly Justice's perspective, the reason was very simple. The people who were most in danger had already been thrown into the long river of time to fend for themselves. Even if Morax was more powerful, he could only fight her on equal terms, and neither could do anything to the other.
However, no matter how much she planned, she could not have imagined that Ye Li was a clever guy. Not only did he set up his own business (the ever-growing inner world), he also led the leaders of the two regions into the new world, perfecting his own strength until he sublimated his own conceptual authority.
Buyer's current strength is enough to destroy the entire continent of Teyvat. As for the World Tree that is closely related to her, why not just cut it down and use it as nutrients for her new World Tree? Anyway, she has already separated from the original World Tree in a certain sense of time and space. The current connection is just a clever way to refine her into an incarnation.
"Well, stop making up stories about Ye Li. After all, our preparations for the future depend on the intelligence he has collected."
Buyer interrupted the discussion between the Morax couple, stretched out his slender, white and tender fingers, and pointed at Ye Li in front of the screen with a smile on his face. Because of Keqing's words, he instantly fell from his normal state back to the state of slacking off.
……
In the second time and space, in the continent of Teyvat, Liyue, on the fifth floor of the Hall of All People, in the last private room in the corridor.
"Well, Ms. Keqing, there are so many skilled craftsmen in Liyue, why did you choose me to do the work? I just received a big order, so I don't know if I have time to help you."
"But I have already approached the two most famous machinery families in Liyue Harbor, and they both rejected my proposal, especially the old man from the Liu family, who said he wanted to retire and let the younger generation take over."
"That's good, isn't it? They are young and energetic, so even if their skills are poor, they shouldn't be that bad."
"I came to you because I know their level. I don't know what that old guy was thinking. He retired just fine and said that he was surpassed by the young people and that I am not as good as him. This is clearly perfunctory to me."
Ye Li was speechless. He understood some of the ins and outs of Keqing's words, and some of the cause and effect relationships were caused by himself. It can only be said that the entanglement of fate is indescribable.
"Ye Li, I know your difficulties. I will help you convince Hu Tao. If all else fails, I will give you some processing money, which can be considered an investment in Wangsheng Hall."
Keqing took the speechless look of someone as a sign of embarrassment. She was well prepared and took out her own bargaining chips, trying to persuade the other boss and increase his salary the old-fashioned way.
"Although the Hall Master will agree to it, it's hard to say for my boss Ningguang who takes the big orders. After all, the construction of several new Jade Pavilions is about to start. How can I find the time to go over and do another project for you?"
Ye Li directly took out the contract between himself and Ningguang, and the big 1.8 million Mora on it was particularly conspicuous.
Keqing was immediately stunned. She felt that someone had gotten there first, and it was Ye Li who came there himself.
Keqing's thoughts raced for a moment, and she came up with an idea. Although the cost was a bit high for her, it was still tolerable if it was deducted from her own piggy bank.
"Ningguang? No wonder. With her character, it's not easy to snatch her away. But I may be able to do it."
"Oh, what does Miss Keqing mean?"
"I will also spend 1.8 million Mora to snatch your time from her, so that I can complete the Black Deer Mechanical Fireworks I am planning for the Sea Lantern Festival."
Looking at the guy in front of him who said so generously that he could spend 1.8 million Mora at will, Ye Li saw a flame of determination burning in Keqing's body, and there was also the shadow of a certain Tianquan in it.
All I can say is that they are worthy of being the Seven Stars who control the lifeline of Liyue Harbor’s trade routes. Money really allows them to do whatever they want.
After Keqing finished her heroic words, she took out a token from the Eye of God. Judging from the immortal power emanating from it, it should be a communication equipment left by her ancestors.
"I'm going to go outside to inform Ningguang and tell her what happened just now. I'll excuse myself now."
"It's okay, just notify me first. I'll need you to treat me when the food is ready."
Ye Li looked at Keqing who turned and left, and spoke in a joking tone until Keqing came to the corridor of the last private room and closed the door.
Looking at the quiet private room, Ye Li looked sideways at Qiqi and Yaoyao who were sitting on both sides of him. He stretched out a finger, made a virtual gesture, then put his hand next to his ear, forming a speaker shape, and began to listen carefully.
The two little ones followed Ye Li's example and raised their ears, starting to listen quietly. Then the sound coming from outside the door was quietly synchronized by Ye Li into the two little ears.
"Hey, Ningguang, can you change the contract you signed with Ye Li? I am willing to pay the original price to buy his employment time. You should also know that I am the one who is organizing this year's Lantern Festival. His mechanical technology is very useful to me."
"You are so elegant that you used a magical treasure to inform me about such a small matter, Keqing."
"Don't give me that crap, Ningguang. You don't want any accidents to happen during the Lantern Festival because of your actions, do you?"
"Okay, okay. Anyway, there is no rush to prepare for the Qun Yu Pavilion. It will be fine to prepare after the Lantern Festival. Please tell Ye Li about this for me."
Ningguang agreed very casually, and her straightforward action made Keqing, who was familiar with her, feel cheated.
On the other side, in the office of Qun Yu Pavilion, Ningguang, who was fanning herself with a fan, raised a smile of success and said lazily:
"Although it was an unintentional act, the feeling of getting something for free from others is really as pleasant as Mr. Ye Li said."
