Genshin, but the real world

Chapter 63 62- Negotiation

The impact of forging a contract can be large or small.

Obviously this is the contract in Jiang Qing's hands.

Its appearance is full of logical loopholes, but the noble faction is happy with it. Even if they know that there are problems with the contract, they are willing to take it as true.

Because this is their way of life.

This contract must be true. Only if it is true can they give up the interests of the noble faction.

This incident directly led to the rebellion within the aristocratic faction, dismantling the last stumbling block on Vanessa's path forward, allowing the Knights of the West Wind to win an easy victory.

The results are similar to expected.

Some nobles were liquidated, but some simply lost their power but are still passed down to this day.

There is a difference between top-down change and bottom-up change. The latter is often more decisive and cruel.

Vanessa led the latter, but in the end she allowed these nobles to survive for the sake of the overall situation of Mondstadt.

The only thing Jiang Qing can ask for now is God's blessing.

Poets sing other people's legends, and He creates these legends for the poets to sing.

This has a lot to do with talent, and to put it more directly, it has a lot to do with one's background.

This guy crossed the border between Mondstadt and Liyue two thousand years ago. At that time, he thought that Barbatos had encountered some trouble that could not be solved, and planned to ask about it or help him personally.

"Not long ago, the Lawrence family finally left Mondstadt at the expense of the family's foundation and the lives of most people." Jiang Qing's expression was filled with heavy mourning.

Of course, it preserves some relevant knowledge. It cannot be said to be comprehensive, but it is enough to broaden your horizons.

Even if the culprit can survive, the other "nobles attached to Lawrence" can certainly survive as long as they surrender and continue to contribute to Mondstadt and Mondstadt people.

Because in that era, basically no nobles would give up becoming Lawrence's allies.

You have to make him feel that the effort is worth it, and he will be happier when he pays.

In addition to the legendary characters that come with the five-star character, her presence is often focused on the position of Fire C.

Hu Tao is not in a hurry.

This is a character similar to Yura.

What do you want?

Then you have to have something.

He is still young and doesn't want to die yet.

Having a complete failure in business, and then failing again and again, is indeed considered "somewhat famous", but it doesn't sound good.

His knowledge of Hutao was limited to the game, but in the game, Hall Master Hu had no role.

He had already realized deeply in Mondstadt that there were far more variables in this world than he could calculate.

It is a trait that is not present at birth and will rarely be acquired in the future.

"Let's go, follow me first." She waved and then walked to the study first.

If Barbatos just allows the aristocracy to have a decisive battle with the Knights of the West Wind led by Vanessa, regardless of victory or defeat, Mondstadt's national power will be knocked back for hundreds of years.

"If it can be cashed in as soon as possible and exchanged for value as soon as possible, I think Youla will be very grateful."

The Hall of Rebirth has a special status.

It's not a disadvantage to get on Hutao's line and accept the other person's favor.

Jiang Qing continued to increase the value of his chips with a businessman's unique fear of death.

However, Dadalia was eliminated by him first.

The old man frowned slightly.

"It couldn't be more appropriate." Jiang Qing clapped her hands in agreement with a gentle smile, "Putting this kind of thing in our hands is a trouble after all."

And he was just a guest in the parish of the deceased.

Its own value, artificially created needs and thresholds, and finally the chips needed to buy something.

This is the last thing of value that Lawrence has in exchange for the beginning of a family.

This is just a small thing.

He is not very curious about Jiang Qing because he is not special.

Vanessa then seized the opportunity to reduce the power of the nobles to almost the fullest extent.

But for Morax, this matter is a bit unreasonable.

Of course, Zhongli doesn't care about this either.

She has been very bored recently, and she might not have any fun anymore but the person in front of her.

"But I also know a friend who may be very interested in this kind of thing." Zhong Li said in a leisurely manner, "If Mr. Jiang Qing doesn't mind, you might as well let my friend give you a slap.

Maybe she's willing to pay a good bargaining chip."

She wouldn't want to talk to me about when I would reopen and then recommend me the services of the Rebirth Hall, right?

Zhongli is determined to wrap up this contract and help Barbatos complete the ending.

Barbatos is indeed the best bard to some extent.

There is no need for him to help me at this time.

Of course Jiang Qing will also abide by this rule.

Hu Tao is still a normal person cognitively. It is difficult to say what kind of philosophy is responsible for her reaching such a level.

If we really need to liquidate, there really aren’t many clean nobles left in the entire city of Mondstadt.

Jiang Qing is not a special case.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhongli." Jiang Qing agreed.

With the characteristics Jiang Qing is showing now, he is indeed considered a talent.

"Hall Master Hu is discussing business with me?" Jiang Qing was a little surprised, "Didn't Hall Master Hu bring me here at the request of Mr. Zhongli?"

And even longer ago, the so-called First Throne and Second Throne were the secrets of the future world.

Jiang Qing was not interested in delving into the story behind Hall Master Hu. Just looking at Orobas, the unlucky guy, he knew that there might really be a mystery in this world where people would be targeted just by saying his name.

This contract brought an end to the conflicting environment within Mondstadt, quelled the chaos in Mondstadt within just a few days, and re-established the rule of the Knights of the West Wind.

"Let me tell you first, even if it is a teaching from an immortal, you should not have too many expectations." Hu Tao said lazily, "That is not something prepared for you and me."

Of course, after Xiao Gong came out, she became a hot girl again.

But Jiang Qing expected that a certain immortal, such as Gan Yu who worked directly for the emperor, would solve this problem.

Unfortunately, time changed and even the positions of the Seven Gods were changing.

The same remuneration, but if you really use it for half a minute, the other party will feel it's not worth it.

At this moment Hutao also remembered the name Jiang Qing.

But this contract is really a headache... Fortunately, it is already in my hands.

Because this is simply not something that normal people can learn.

Jiang Qing has no intention of digging into the little girl's past.

Books and knowledge, as a kind of investment, will not disappear even if they are shown to Jiang Qing, they will still be kept in the Hall of Purity.

"But she was also worried that Qixing wouldn't be able to give a suitable bargaining chip, because she had just lost a lot, but the shackles were so heavy that she had no intention of letting go."

By then she can push all the way, and it's time to bring out some more difficult enemies.

But the contract already has an owner.

To learn these [methods] requires a certain quality.

In the eyes of the Immortal and Qixing, the [Palace of Rebirth] can shoulder the important task of holding the ceremony of sending immortals to the emperor.

The seed sent from the future to the past in the hands of Thunderbolt is a clear proof of their power.

The so-called method is actually a technique.

As long as you find an opportunity to seal it or simply destroy it, there will be nothing to worry about.

This contact was just to clear up the situation for old friends.

She has not lost anything at all, and naturally she will not be eager to get anything in return.

Her personal story is clearly written - as one of the few living people who dared to stay at the "border", Hu Tao's actions may have moved some unspeakable god.

It is impossible for him to suddenly discover that his father or mother is actually an immortal and then make himself special.

Without the Eye of God, there is no way to control the elemental power.

Ask Him what you want. If you ask Him for too much, it is inconsistent with His status. If you ask for less, wouldn’t that be a loss?!

"The owner of this contract is owned by a friend of mine, that is, the leader of the aristocratic faction on the other side of the contract, the noble daughter of the Lawrence family, Miss Yora."

Jiang Qing agreed without hesitation, "Okay! If Hall Master Hu has any requests, please give me your instructions."

Once a problem arises, you must seize the time to solve it. If you keep pressing it and not solving it, problems will arise.

The gods of the new generation have forgotten the responsibility of "guiding mankind" that the gods shoulder.

"Master, the funeral ceremony and the business of the Rebirth Hall do not require us to come to you." His tone was as usual, "According to common sense, business should come to us."

Zhongli's expression remained normal.

This also means that he has intervened in the internal affairs of other countries, and it is a big move that can overthrow the political power of other countries and return ownership to Liyue.

The so-called "Dharma" left over from the time when immortals taught the Dharma is naturally quite precious.

If you really want to learn, Hutao doesn't like Jiang Qing.

It's not like Jiang Qing didn't expect this possibility.

Recently, this name has been pulled out repeatedly as a negative example.

The contract bears the seal of Lord Yan. Even if it is a forgery, it is impossible for him to not notice it even if it arrives at Liyue Port.

In the future, after the old man retires, his body will be handed over to the Death Hall for placement.

There is no doubt about the value of the contract, and you can see from the results that the people of Mondstadt have benefited anyway.

"Her family lost almost everything during this change, and in order to reassure the aristocrats, Lawrence survived." Jiang Qing said, "If you know something about the history of Mondstadt, you should also know.

The meaning of Lawrence’s survival.”

"Lawrence has been surviving for thousands of years since the revolution." He didn't mind describing Yula's situation as worse, or in other words, what he described might not be bad enough.

This recognition is not cheap and has special value.

He had a very good impression of Barbatos and could be considered an old friend.

Gunnhild and Legenfeld have this confidence, but how can other nobles resist Lawrence's kindness?

Actively or by force, in short they are allies.

Of course Dadalia will offer a good bargaining chip, but if it is held in the hands of fools, it will only cause trouble for everyone, which is unnecessary.

Jiang Qing is currently busy "cultivating immortality" and is not very interested in the stories behind these people.

There is only one god in the land of Liyue, and he has never done such a thing.

Hu Tao was beaming.

Those who watch the excitement never worry about things getting big, only that they are not big enough.

In a real world where event missions, personal legend missions and main missions conflict, I am afraid that even I myself may not have the opportunity to get to know these people.

There's no way Zhongli would introduce such a thing to someone who would threaten Liyue's safety, right?

"Okay, you two, your business talks are over, now it's my turn." Hutao brought a chair and sat next to Zhongli.

"What does Hall Master Hu want?" Jiang Qing took a deep breath.

Feeling at home...Although this process is inevitable for everyone, it is rare for people to take the initiative to come to the door.

Who is killed by the butcher's knife is certainly not random.

Especially in the presence of Ying, Jiang Qing seems even more ordinary.

Needless to say, except for this guy Barbatos, no one would be so boring.

After all, according to Ying's development, she should be able to challenge the Seven Rulers head-on by the sixth element at the latest.

This was an unexpected event, but Jiang Qing was not nervous at all.

When words are exhausted, even if he opens the door, he cannot make a god empathize with him.

On this day when all of my friends passed away, he had not seen Barbatos for a long time.

Just like a locksmith actually doesn't need half an hour, he may be able to solve the problem in half a minute.

But the immortal possesses quantity and quality that mortals cannot match, and finally he has the power to shake the mountains and seas.

If you want to get something, you have to give it first.

So much so that when Diluc's father Cripps died, Legenfinder had no way to ask the Knights for an answer.

But it actually has no value to humans.

The business in this city covers a wide range of areas. Hu Tao is not a businessman, but she knows how to count these people very well.

So He used a contract to break down the resistance of the noble faction and at the same time gave Vanessa the power to replace the contract of people's forgiveness.

Before asking for a high price, most people will talk about difficulties and hardships to raise the price.

I didn’t expect that this guy just came over to invite me to drink...

Without Barbatos' many efforts, there would not have been a reception where the Seven Gods gathered in Liyue.

On it hangs His sigil, and in the sigil is His power.

Zhongli has many candidates who can afford this bargaining chip.

There was a narrow smile on Hutao's face.

"I understand." He nodded, "If this is the case, then I'm afraid I won't be able to offer enough chips for the transaction."

Hutao didn't know that Jiang Qing had already collected chips. She only knew that according to this statement, Jiang Qing should be poor to a certain extent.

Zhongli took a sip of tea.

The key is to reduce the occurrence of bloody conflicts and preserve Mondstadt's national strength.

Zhongli lowered his eyebrows and his breathing changed for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the emperor came forward directly.

No matter who he is.

Zhongli could tell at a glance whose handiwork it was.

The old man’s apparent identity is that of a guest at the [Palace of Rebirth].

Obviously I can easily solve the trouble myself, but I still choose a representative to handle it.

Normal work is okay, in order to let Dadalia pay for it, let him know by the way.

"Then let's settle it first." Zhong Li looked at Hu Tao, "Please ask Mr. Jiang Qing to wait for now. We will meet at [Liu Li Pavilion] at noon tomorrow."

There was nothing he could do against Barbatos.

[Palace of Rebirth] has a long history and has been running in the land of Liyue since the Demon God War.

Hu Tao looked at Jiang Qing with a smile, "Just take it first, I'll ask you to help me later."

"Of course not!" Hutao shook his head, "When you came here, didn't you want to see those things about the teachings of immortals? There are many in the Hall of Rebirth."

Jiang Qing could hear some helplessness.

But if it is true as Jiang Qing said, his status cannot bring enough bargaining chips.

The "people" who were able to learn these things in that era continued to practice, improve, and pass them on, and finally created the secret skills of the alchemist lineage and the martial arts of the sect today.

What other gods think has nothing to do with him, but Barbatos is really not an easy person to deal with.

But Liyue has been a country for 3,700 years, and he has seen too many so-called talents.

The current structure of Teyvat is seven rulers.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "It should be so."

Their influence on the main plot is almost nonexistent.

These things are for real people to learn, but they still require the eye of God.

But there is really no need for this contract to fall into the hands of fools.

Although the service industry has a creed of "feeling at home", the business of the Rebirth Hall cannot be included in this no matter how you think about it.

The old man may have some arrangements for this, but the professionalism of [Palace of Rebirth] must have been recognized.

Just knowing that Orobas would be forced to surrender.

Part of the expensiveness of knowledge lies in the narrowness of its transmission. The more blocked the transmission channel, the higher its value.

However, Hall Master Hu’s personal background story is very interesting.

"Do you still know this kind of friend?" Hu Tao poked Zhongli's shoulder, "Tell me if she has any interest in the business of the Palace of Death."

Not to mention that mortals can't learn these techniques. Even if they really know the techniques by heart, they can't match the huge elemental power mastered by immortals, and they can't get the same effect.

In fact, he and Yura didn't communicate much. They only trusted each other more when they were learning swordsmanship.

Lawrence is still alive probably because of this reason.

Objectively speaking, Lawrence's survival appeased the hearts of most nobles at the time.

Anyway, since Zhongli dared to bring people over to buy it, he dared to sell it.

"And this should be the most valuable bargaining chip in her hand." Jiang Qing said, "She hopes to give this bargaining chip to Qixing in exchange for Lawrence's foothold here."

"If you are not willing to continue the conflict, but take everything the nobles have back to Mondstadt, then Lawrence is indeed more valuable alive than dead."

But Zhongli had a headache.

"Oh, by the way, why don't you follow me and learn the secret techniques of the Rebirth Hall." Hu Tao suddenly thought of something, "If you learn well, I will make you the deputy hall master~~"

This girl is startled and takes action immediately when she thinks of something, without thinking much about other things.

Jiang Qing could only smile bitterly.

He wasn't sure whether Hutao was joking or serious. If it was true, it would be nice, but if it was false, it would be a bit embarrassing, so he didn't answer.
