Chapter 110: Asking for a weapon that suits your needs (12 yuan per day, , monthly ticket required)
Liyue Port,
The officer in charge of the port's arrival at the General Affairs Department was a little strange.
How come the Southern Cross Fleet, which had just left, came back so soon?
Just as I was wondering, I saw several figures coming down from the Death Star.
One of the figures in particular seemed somewhat familiar.
A closer look,
Oh, it turns out to be the Yuheng Star.
Hmm? Yuheng Star?
The officials of the General Affairs Department were shocked. How could Yuheng Star be with the Southern Cross Fleet?
Is it possible that Yuheng Star is going to join forces with the Southern Cross Fleet to deal with Tianquan Star?
At the dock, many people knew that the Beidou big sister of the Southern Cross and Tianquan Ningguang were very incompatible.
Seeing Keqing and Beidou together, the officials of the General Affairs Department at the dock couldn't help but gossip in their hearts.
However, before he could gossip any more,
Keqing had already walked in front of him: "Send someone to inform Tianquan Star that we have captured a group of Fatui sabotaging Guyun Pavilion. Ask her to send someone to take over."
As soon as Keqing said this, the people in the General Affairs Department immediately understood the importance of the matter.
Guyun Pavilion, this place seems to have no presence among ordinary people in Liyue, but it is of great concern to the official.
"Okay, I'll send someone right away." The official from the General Affairs Department left in a hurry.
Not only the people from the General Affairs Department,
Among the crowd at the dock, some people's expressions changed slightly, and after hearing Keqing's words, they quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Death Star,
Wang Hao stood on the deck, looking down at the dock, especially the group of people who had just approached Keqing.
"Did you see it?" Wang Hao said.
Xingqiu nodded slightly: "Yeah, there are quite a few people."
Before Keqing got off the boat, Wang Hao felt that there must be people from Zhidong acting as spies at the dock.
After all, the dock is one of the most important places in Liyue.
So, he did not go down with Keqing, but stayed on the boat to observe.
The same goes for Xingqiu.
Sure enough, just as they expected, after Keqing said that a group of Fatui had been captured, many people in the crowd at the dock changed their expressions and quickly left.
Of course, these people cannot all be members of the Fatui; many of them may be spies from other large chambers of commerce.
These large chambers of commerce are very sensitive to certain policy fluctuations and have many associates who are looking for information.
There might be people from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce here.
"There are too many people. I hope No. 3 and the others can get something out of it." Wang Hao said.
He sent No. 3 and others to follow Keqing, and after discovering the existence of these people who might be spies, No. 3 and others would track them.
But Wang Hao did not expect that so many people would leave in a hurry.
I don’t know if No. 3 and others can find the real spy among them.
"I have to go to Yuehai Pavilion, what about you?" Wang Hao looked at Xingqiu.
Xingqiu thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go back to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and talk to my father about this. I think we're going to have to make enemies with the Fatui this time, so some of the Chamber of Commerce projects need to be adjusted."
Wang Hao nodded: "Then let's go together, it's just on the way."
Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is located in Feiyunpo, and to go to Yuehai Pavilion, you have to pass Feiyunpo.
Keqing will not be with them.
The three of them had already discussed it and decided to act separately, and Keqing would be in the open to attract the attention of outsiders.
Quietly left the Death Star,
Wang Hao and Xingqiu walked up along the pier, from the Fishing Pier to the Market Pier, where there were stairs leading to Feiyunpo.
The two of them walked all the way back to Feiyunpo like ordinary people, and then separated.
Wang Hao went to Yuehai Pavilion with ease.
I said hello to the receptionist Hui Xin and went straight upstairs.
I came to the door of Ningguang's office and knocked.
"Please come in."
Wang Hao pushed the door open and went in.
Ningguang looked up and saw that it was Wang Hao. She smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Wang Hao? Why did you find time to come to my place instead of accompanying Keqing to relax?"
Wang Hao listened and felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.
[There is a kind of weird feeling. ]
[I also felt it, but it's not obvious. Let's see.]
[My little brother ran away. 】
[I was wondering why it was so strange, it turned out to be ntr. ]
[Pfft, the more you talk, the weirder it gets.]
【…】
"Look at what you said. What's the use of being free? How polite."
Wang Hao walked up to Ningguang with a smile on his face, looking honest.
Ningguang's eyes flashed with a smile: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Don't underestimate the speed of the General Affairs Department's communication. When it comes to the Seven Stars, they are very fast.
Ningguang has received the message from the dock.
Wang Hao did not delay and spoke directly: "The story started a few days ago..."
[Wang Hao told Ningguang everything that happened after he went to Lonely Cloud Pavilion, but concealed his conversation with Keqing that night.]
After listening to Wang Hao's story,
Ningguang groaned in thought: "Guyun Pavilion is looking for the remnants of the demon god... Hmm, I understand."
She seemed to have understood everything.
"Wang Hao, do you know what is in Guyun Pavilion?" Ningguang suddenly asked.
Wang Hao was stunned. From the barrage, he knew that there was a demon under the Guyun Pavilion.
But he certainly couldn't tell Ningguang this, because he couldn't explain the source of the information.
Therefore, Wang Hao shook his head: "I know that it is the miracle of the Emperor, but I don't know the details."
"Well, it's normal that you don't know. This news has always been blocked." Ningguang stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance. "Your Excellency Guyun is suppressing a passing demon god. He is a defeated general of the Emperor. These fools are probably looking for him."
"Demon!?"
Wang Hao exclaimed appropriately.
【Wang Hao's acting skills are still good. 】
[If we didn’t know that you knew, I would have believed it. ]
[Exaggerated expression, poor eyesight, needs improvement.]
[The crew doesn’t want this kind of thing, and I can’t accompany the director. ]
【Who said I can’t accompany you? 】
【Um? 】
【…】
Wang Hao's performance naturally made the commentators laugh.
But in Ningguang's opinion, this reaction is normal.
Anyone who hears that there is a demon sealed under Guyun Pavilion will be surprised.
"Yes, Osel, the Demon God of the Whirlpool. He was once the great enemy of the Emperor. He came from the deep sea and tried to submerge Liyue with sea water. In the end, he was defeated by the Emperor, suppressed by the Emperor, and sealed under the Lonely Cloud Pavilion."
When Ningguang spoke of this, there was light in her eyes, as if she was imagining the great power of the Emperor.
Wang Hao also showed a hint of longing, but this was not an act.
He really yearns for that kind of awe-inspiring power.
“So, the target of the Fatui is probably this demon god.” A hint of coldness appeared in Ningguang’s eyes.
If the previous small actions of the Fatui were nothing.
So, their attempt to find the Whirlpool Demon this time is very dangerous.
This already involves Liyue’s local security.
If the Demon God of the Vortex is unsealed, even if the Emperor takes action, the battle between the two Demon Gods will surely make Liyue Harbor unstable.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Wang Hao asked directly.
Next, Liyue and Zhidong will inevitably have a collision.
The Seven Stars must eliminate the Fatui in Liyue, otherwise, they might be considered weak and can be bullied.
Sometimes, it’s not that we want to fight, but we have to use blood to prove our attitude.
Of course, it would be best if this blood was from the other party.
"Of course, and it's not small."
Seeing Wang Hao taking the initiative, Ningguang smiled. This was one of the reasons why she liked Wang Hao.
Wang Hao never evades the responsibilities that he can and needs to take.
"Ye Lan has been busy fighting with Pantalone's men recently and has no time to clean up other Fatui. So, I need you to lead people to clean up the Fatui outside Liyue and collect evidence of their crimes."
Ningguang said as she walked back to her desk and pulled out a map.
Wang Hao looked over and saw many large and small marks on the map, which seemed to correspond to different things.
Seeing Wang Hao's curious eyes, Ningguang pointed at the map and said, "Look, this is Dunyu Mausoleum, this is Lingju Pass, and this is Luhua Pond..."
Ningguang pointed out several locations on the map in succession.
Wang Hao looked carefully and found that these places all had red signs. It was obvious that these places should be where the Fatui were.
As expected, Ningguang continued, "It has been confirmed that Fatui are active in these places."
After a pause, Ningguang looked at Wang Hao: "Look, is there anything special about these places?"
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Are they all ruins?" The places that Ningguang pointed out just now were all places where ancient people once lived.
Now, these places are also famous scenic spots in Liyue, with a large number of ancient relics.
Ningguang nodded: "Yes, these places are where the relics are most concentrated."
"At first, we thought these Fatui were stealing antiques, but now it seems that they are looking for news about the Demon God."
Among ancient relics, apart from antiques, the most valuable thing is naturally the various information passed down.
The Fatui are looking for news about the devil among these messages.
Moreover, it now seems that they have gained some results and have sent people to Guyun Pavilion to search for the Whirlpool Demon.
"I want you to lead people to eliminate all the Fatui in these places, and bring back all the things they have collected."
As a Tianquan, the thing she could not accept the most was someone hurting Liyue.
The actions of the Fatui were undoubtedly a slap in her face.
"Don't worry about whether the Fatui will have support. I will delay them openly. This time, I will make them feel the pain."
As she spoke, Ningguang's eyes were already filled with coldness.
Wang Hao also became serious and nodded vigorously: "Leave it to me."
Escape to Yuling, Lingju Pass, Luhua Pond...
The three places are hundreds of miles apart, so it is actually very difficult to handle.
The best way is to divide the troops into three groups and carry out the arrests separately.
Handling it one place at a time can easily lead to information leaking out.
But since Ningguang handed the matter over to him, it means that Ningguang is not worried about this.
If Ningguang is not worried, then Wang Hao naturally won’t be worried either.
Liyue is a huge organization. Wang Hao only needs to take care of his part for now.
Let’s wait until he actually takes office before making more plans and arrangements.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Wang Hao suddenly remembered something.
Ningguang looked at him without saying a word, motioning for him to continue.
Wang Hao scratched his head with a hint of embarrassment: "Hey, Sister Ningguang, I want to find a weapon that suits me."
In fact, Wang Hao wanted to tell Ningguang this last time, but he forgot about it.
After the battle at Guyun Pavilion, Wang Hao's weapons were completely useless.
The Iron Tip Spear was almost scrapped, and even if it wasn't scrapped, it couldn't meet Wang Hao's requirements for use.
According to the comments, at least a four-star weapon is needed to meet his needs.
"Weapons? Hmm, let me think..."
Ningguang pondered for a moment.
After a long while, she continued, "It seems that there are no good weapons in the General Affairs Department's warehouse. However, the Qianyan Army's arsenal has the Qianyan Group's weapons. However, you don't have the identity of the Qianyan Army, so it is difficult to receive them..."
After hesitating for a moment, Ningguang said, "How about this? I'll give you the warrant later. Go to Hanfeng Ironware and have a look. They should have some stock there. With my warrant, Master Zhang won't just give you some ordinary stuff."
Hanfeng Ironware is currently the largest blacksmith shop in Liyue.
And Master Zhang is currently the master chef of the blacksmith shop.
As a Tianquan star, Ningguang naturally cooperates with them.
[Master Zhang's shop only has iron-tipped spears. ]
[That's a game. In reality, there's definitely no way that there's only the Iron Spear.]
[To be honest, it’s been two years, and I haven’t seen a four-star weapon around Wang Hao.]
[Indeed, the Dark Iron Sword used by Xingqiu, the long sword used by Keqing is unknown, and Chongyun seems to be using the Flying Sky Great Imperial Sword... I don't think I've seen any four-star weapons before.]
[In the world view, three-star weapons are already top-notch weapons. The forger who created the cold blade became famous because of it. Four-star weapons all have stories behind them.]
[Not to mention the five-star weapons, they either involve demons, gods, or immortals, or have legendary stories. ]
[So, Wang Hao still has to use a three-star weapon? ]
[What are the three-star spears? Black tassel spear, white tassel spear, or axe spear?]
[That's not the case. If I take Ningguang's warrant with me, it can't be something like this that's sold everywhere.]
[Ahem, these are all standard equipment of the Qianyan Army, they are definitely not common ones. ]
【…】
In his eyes, the comments were also discussing.
They had a lot of suggestions about Wang Hao's weapons.
Some people even wanted him to go find Zhongli and ask him to give him a pinch of the hand.
It is said that the weapon used by the Great Sage who conquers demons was made by the Emperor himself.
After taking the warrant from Ningguang, Wang Hao said goodbye.
After Wang Hao left, Ningguang returned to her desk and suddenly asked, "What do you think of him?"
Uncle Tian with white hair walked out of a dark room and said, "Let's wait and see. I can still hold on."
“Is there something you are not satisfied with?” Ningguang asked.
Uncle Tian shook his head: "He is very good, smart, sociable, quick to learn, resourceful, ambitious..."
If Wang Hao heard Uncle Tian’s evaluation of him, he might be surprised, because these evaluations were indeed very high.
Ningguang frowned slightly: "Then why..."
"Tianshuxing needs to be able to endure loneliness. Let's look at his temperament. Besides, it's not like I can't do it anymore."
Uncle Tian waved his hand, interrupting Ningguang's words, and continued,
"The Tianshu Stars of all generations usually make plans behind the scenes. Although this kid has some wisdom, he is still young after all. Let's wait and see."
Actually, there is one more thing that Uncle Tian did not mention.
This child is too close to Yuheng Star and Tianquan Star.
Does not meet the requirements of Tianshu Star.
Tianshu Star requires neutrality, fairness, and the most equal attitude towards all matters, big or small.
Getting too close to either party is not a good thing.
Even the same thing with the other seven stars.
However, Uncle Tian would not say such things to Ningguang.
the other side,
Wang Hao didn’t know about the conversation between Ningguang and Tianshu. If he knew, he might understand Ningguang’s arrangement for him.
With Ningguang's warrant, he made his way to Hanfeng Ironware.
He was actually not unfamiliar with this place, because Hanfeng Ironware was not far from the Liyue Adventurer's Association.
Wang Hao also often came here when he was young.
Arriving at the door of the blacksmith shop, he took out Ningguang's warrant.
"Hello, I need to see Master Zhang."
The apprentice who was working as a blacksmith at the door recognized Ningguang's order and showed a trace of respect: "Please wait a moment, my dear guest. I will report to you right away."
Then, without paying any attention to the wrought iron on the iron felt, he ran straight to the blacksmith shop.
Soon, a big man with a naked upper body and many burn marks came out with the apprentice.
"You want to see me?" The big man looked at Wang Hao.
[Oh my goodness, this is totally different from the game. ]
[Master Zhang...are you such a tough guy? ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, these muscles, these burns, it would cost at least 2,000 yuan a night to go to a rich woman's bar? ]
[Hmm? Let’s talk about the rich woman in detail.]
The comments were looking at Master Zhang and talking about him.
Wang Hao ignored the comments and looked at Master Zhang with a smile: "It's me. I came here today to ask for a favor."
As he spoke, Wang Hao took out Ningguang's warrant again.
Master Zhang frowned: "Well, we have a distinguished guest here today..."
He was halfway through his words when a voice came from behind him: "Master Zhang, this young man is also an old friend of mine, let's go together."
Familiar voice.
Wang Hao was startled and looked behind Master Zhang.
Zhongli was looking at him with a smile.
"D...Mr. Zhongli!" Wang Hao almost called the wrong person.
Zhongli's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded with a smile: "My dear friend Wang Hao, I didn't expect to see you again."
Unlike the previous two meetings, this time, Zhongli and Wang Hao spoke.
Master Zhang looked at Zhongli, then at Wang Hao, and then smiled: "Since you are an old friend of Mr. Zhongli, please come in."
Then he invited Wang Hao to go into the blacksmith shop together.
As soon as he walked in, the hot air surrounded Wang Hao.
It's at least ten degrees hotter in here than outside.
I don’t know how these blacksmiths can bear it.
"Young man, what are you going to build this time?" Zhongli suddenly asked.
Wang Hao did not hide it: "I came to ask for a weapon that suits me."
As he said this, he revealed a bitter smile: "Ordinary iron-tipped spears are really not enough."
Zhongli was not surprised and nodded slightly. After all, most people who came to the blacksmith shop came to forge weapons.
However, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting.
After a pause, he looked at Master Zhang: "Master Zhang, if we use the things just now to make weapons directly, is it appropriate?"
Master Zhang paused and asked, "Just make weapons?"
He was somewhat tempted, but hesitant: "It's OK, but it's not easy to use. If it's made into a weapon, ordinary people can't even get close to it."
