Chapter 62 Mingyun Town (asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and follow-up reading)

That night,

Everyone who was shocked by Hu Tao's poem went back to their rooms to rest.
Instigated by the barrage of comments, Wang Hao went to the rooftop of Wangshu Inn again, hoping to find the Demon Subduing Sage.

But just like last time, after shouting for a while, there was no response and I could only leave in disappointment.

But Wang Hao didn't know that after he left,
Another person also came here.

Zhongli, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was strolling on the rooftop, holding a birdcage in his hand.

A clear black light flashed, and the Demon-Subduing Great Sage, who had been calling out to Wang Hao for a long time but received no response, appeared directly.

"Emperor." Xiao lowered his head slightly.

Zhongli picked up the birdcage, opened the door, and watched the thrush in the cage fly away.

"You seem to be paying attention to that child today?"

Xiao's eyes flashed: "The Emperor is referring to Wang Hao?"

"You actually know his name?" Zhongli chuckled.

The Great Sage who Conquers Demons does not like people. If he can call out a person's name, it means that he has remembered and is familiar with this person.

Xiao nodded gently: "The son of an old friend."

As he spoke, Xiao told about the help he had received from Wang Hao's parents in the secret realm.

But he did not mention that he used Wang Hao to kill the resentful demon.

After all, clearing the resentment of the demons is Xiao's job and there is nothing to say about it.

After hearing what Xiao said, Zhongli raised his eyebrows slightly: "His parents are just ordinary people who possess the Eye of God?"

"With the Eye of God, you are no longer an ordinary person." Xiao replied.

Zhongli didn't say anything, but frowned and thought.

Previously at Wuwangpo,

He saw the golden color in Wang Hao's eyes and thought that Wang Hao was the offspring of some immortal or demon god.

Later, he also tested Wang Hao and threw the box containing the remains of the demon to Wang Hao.

And Wang Hao did not let him down. He directly absorbed the power from the debris in the box.

That is the most original power of the demon god. In other words, it is the power left over from authority.

Zhongli was very familiar with this kind of performance that could devour the power of authority.

In the war between demons, countless battles between demons were fought, with each demon devouring and merging in rounds like this.

The Demon War did not end until the power in the hands of the seven rulers was gradually complete and the seven-colored elemental light overwhelmed Teyvat.

Therefore, any existence that can devour the power of the devil must be related to the devil.

Originally, Wang Hao's performance of absorbing the power of the white jade spine had already made Zhongli confirm that Wang Hao was the descendant of the demon god.

But now, Xiao's information says that Wang Hao's parents are just ordinary people.

Yes, the identity of a great adventurer is indeed outstanding, but to Zhongli, he is just an ordinary person.

How could two ordinary children devour the power of the devil?
"An existence higher than the devil..."

"A shadow? Or a dragon? Or is it outside the world?"

"It's really fun."

After a while, Zhongli shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that I underestimated this child's background. However, I will know it in the future."

After a pause, he looked at Xiao again.

Perhaps, Xiao will still need Wang Hao's help in the future.

"Kid, if you have any problems in the future, please help me. There is always some kindness."

Xiao nodded: "I understand."

Regarding the Emperor's words, Xiao has only one idea, and that is to obey.

Ever since Morax rescued him from an unknown demon, and until now when the demon war has subsided for thousands of years, Xiao has been implementing this philosophy.

"Yeah." Zhongli hummed lightly, then looked at Xiao, "Now that the world is getting peaceful, you should rest more and don't have to be so busy all the time."

"To pacify demons and eliminate evil is the job of a Yaksha." Xiao said with his head down.

Zhongli was helpless and stopped trying to persuade him.

This was the contract they made at the beginning.

The Yaksha clan has never failed to live up to the contract between them.

Shaking his head, Zhongli turned and left, leaving behind an empty bird cage with the door open and the still silent Demon-Subduing Great Sage. …

Early the next morning.

Wang Hao got up quietly, without disturbing other friends, and left Wangshu Inn alone.

In fact, he could have taken a carriage for a while, but parting was always hard, so he might as well just leave.

Mingyun Town is a mining town located between Liyue Land and Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

This was once a rich mine, but it was gradually abandoned a few years ago due to the depletion of resources.

Only a small number of people still remain here, making a living from the last barren mineral veins.

A few days later, we arrived at Mingyun Town.
Wang Hao immediately noticed something was wrong here.

There are too many people gathered here.

As mentioned above, Mingyun Town has been abandoned and only a few people still live here.

But when Wang Hao came here, he found that there were at least hundreds of people here.

Moreover, they are all young and middle-aged.

This number of people is enough to develop a rich mine.

But these people were obviously not here to mine. Some were patrolling at the entrance of the town, and others were fighting with swords.

Wang Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and he detected a different aura from these people.

"Private army?"

Different from the professionalism of the Qianyan Army and the disorder of the Treasure Stealing Group,
These people, there is some discipline, but not much.

Wang Hao guessed that it might be the private army raised by the Yinyuan Society.

Just like the guards employed by Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, but more professional.

After taking a look at the soldiers patrolling at the town entrance, Wang Hao flashed to the other side.

Although there is only one main road in Mingyun Town, it was opened for the transportation of ore. If you are alone, you can also enter from other directions.

With Wang Hao's skills, the steep cliffs could not stop him.

With a few leaps, Wang Hao reached the top of the mountain. If he hadn't had to avoid the eyes below, he could have gone even faster.

Looking down from the mountain, the crowd in Mingyun Town becomes more obvious.

Wang Hao's eyes swept across and soon locked onto a pile of rocks.

Not far from the camp, there is a pile of rocks, which should be left over from the initial ore mining in Mingyun Town. There are some junk scattered on the rocks, making it look like a shabby place.

But Wang Hao had seen in the letter that it was a mark left for him by a spy from the General Affairs Department.

As long as we clear the debris from the rocks, the informant will come out to meet us at night.

Wang Hao estimated the distance between the rocks and the camp.
It’s not far, but not close either. If you’re careful you can avoid the patrols, but if you look carefully you can see what’s on top of the pile of rocks.

All I can say is that the people in the General Affairs Department know how to choose the positions.

After finding the target, Wang Hao was no longer in a hurry. He found a secluded corner on the mountain, quietly waiting for the arrival of dusk, and chatting with the barrage.

Last time, these comments said they wanted to teach him some knowledge from their side, and Wang Hao was quite looking forward to it.

"Tell me more about the design of steam and steam machinery that you talked about last time."

Wang Hao asked the barrage.

Last time Wang Hao asked them how to help Ningguang develop Liyue, they argued for a long time and finally came to an answer: developing productivity is the first element of development.

Plus they said they wanted to impart the knowledge of Blue Star,
Something called a steam engine appeared in the barrage.

【The development of productivity is essentially a better way to boil water! 】

[The working principle of the steam engine is a reciprocating power machine that converts steam energy into mechanical work]

[A steam engine can be roughly divided into the cylinder, the main steam valve and the throttle valve, the slide valve chamber...]

The barrage seemed to be very good at teaching. As soon as Wang Hao asked the question, a steady stream of barrages began to explain.

Wang Hao looked at it carefully and memorized the knowledge silently.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to just write it down. He will definitely experiment when he has free time.

In fact, the comment also said that in Teyvat, the steam engine is actually outdated.
In Fontaine, there is even an energy-driven device called Huangmang.

But for Wang Hao, the steam engine is just the right product for training.
