Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

Zhongli almost choked on his tea because of Su Ming's stare. It was the first time he had ever met such an overly familiar guy. He always felt a bit helpless with this type of person.

"I am merely a guest retainer; you should discuss the details with our hall master."

Zhongli continued to drink his tea silently. In this day and age, who would ask him for favors? Besides, he was finally preparing to retire, so there was no need to create trouble for himself.

As Zhongli, all he needs to do is drink tea and walk his birds. As for the rest, that's what the Rock King Emperor should do. What does the Rock King Emperor have to do with Zhongli?

“Zhong Keqing, you’re the one I’ve been looking for,” Su Ming said, placing the badge that symbolized the executor on the side of the pearwood table with a kind smile.

A glint flashed in Zhongli's eyes. He slowly lowered the teacup he was holding and calmly replied, "I wonder what brings the Executive Officer of Zhidong here?"

Linglan's face paled slightly. In just a moment, she seemed to see a coiled golden dragon emerge behind the middle-aged man. The terrifying aura made her unsteady on her feet. Fortunately, Su Ming blocked the aura in front of her.

Just who exactly is this guest advisor?!

Linglan was filled with shock. She had never heard of any guest elder possessing such a terrifying aura. It might be disrespectful to say, but she did indeed feel a pressure comparable to that of the Empress, or even more solid.

Why does Su Ming always find such terrifying opponents so easily?

Is this the recluse's perceptive ability? No wonder he's called the Recluse! So Brother Su must be so confident in defeating this middle-aged retiree to come forward and reveal his identity!

Linglan clenched her little fists. As expected of Brother Su Ming, he is really too powerful!

At this moment, Su Ming thought: "Does this guy have to be so rude? It's just a business card, is it really necessary?"

Why would I dream of fighting the Rock King Emperor one-on-one?

But on the surface, he still had to maintain the high-class persona of an executive officer. To this end, Su Ming simply covered his face with a thin layer of frost. As long as his face was frozen, his expression would not change. This is the true aloof male god.

"We have heard that you are very knowledgeable, and we hope that you can cooperate with our project. Of course, as representatives of the Northern Bank, we will pay you a considerable reward."

Su Ming's attitude was sincere and he had no other intentions, which made Zhong Li a little puzzled. The Ice God's most elite subordinates had traveled all the way to Liyue just to pay him a salary?

"What's the matter?"

"I just want you to describe the appearance of the Rock King Emperor. If possible, please draw a picture," Su Ming said with a smile. When the figure is released, if anyone does not believe that this is the Rock King Emperor, they can bring up Zhong Keqing.

Zhongli is a true authority on Liyue history, and his words are convincing enough. If all else fails, he can just declare: No one knows the Geo Archon better than me!

Who are you? I am the Rock King Emperor himself!

Zhongli: "?"

He was all prepared to speak with the Ice Queen's spokesperson, but he never expected this kind of request.

Could this person be unaware of his true identity, since Zhongli is doing all the necessary tasks?

Phantom.

Zhongli's gaze toward Su Ming grew increasingly silent. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange fellow since his wanderings in the mortal world. "There are many versions of the appearance of the Rock King in Liyue, and the ancient books that exist are mostly vague summaries. If you want to make something related to the King, you might as well adopt the form of the Seven Gods statue."

Su Ming naturally understood that using the Seven Gods Statue was the most conservative option and would never go wrong, but the problem was that it wasn't cool enough. What he wanted to make was a figurine of the famous scene of the Rock King, a replica of a scene that would drive the people of Liyue completely crazy.

A direct, disruptive approach to the figurine industry is the only way to generate significant traffic.

“Guest Zhong, all you need to do is register your name. All future bills can be sent to our Northern Bank,” Su Ming’s voice echoed in Zhong Li’s ears like a devil’s whisper.

But even as a wanderer in the mortal world, as Zhongli, he still had his bottom line.

Zhongli picked up his teacup and said calmly, "Deal."

The bottom line can be lowered with Mora; a mere bill, from a generally rational perspective, is worth lowering.

"I have indeed done some research on the Rock King Emperor. I wonder what this young brother wants to know about?"

“Su Ming, the twelfth seat of the Fools’ Executive Officers, the Hermit.”

Su Ming chuckled and raised his teacup, drinking the tea in one gulp. As expected of the tea chosen by Zhongli, the taste was truly that of tea. "According to ancient records, the Rock King Emperor once used a rock spear to suppress the vortex demon god in the Cloud Sea. I wonder if Guest Zhongli could show us the scene in detail?"

"From a universally rational perspective, yes."

Zhongli nodded slightly. For him, this was not difficult; he only needed to personally paint a picture of "Morax Slaying Osel".

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate. Please send your bills to the Northern Bank in the future. This is the agreed-upon reward."

Su Ming smiled and stood up to say goodbye to Zhong Li. The first contact went quite well. Once they got to know each other better, they could proceed with the next step of their plan.

But the most important thing right now is to revitalize the Northern Bank. Otherwise, if Zhongli finds out that the Northern Bank has gone bankrupt, it will leave the Rebirth Hall with a huge debt.

At that point, the only option left is for Master Hu to offer himself to the Northern Bank. It wouldn't be so bad if he dressed up in cute clothes every day and acted as a mascot.

Chapter 163 Even small ones are cute!

[Northern Bank Grand Opening Special Offers!]

The first ten players to spend over 100,000 Mora will receive a mystery figurine, and the first one hundred will receive an exquisite Geo Archon figurine!

[Better to die suddenly than to be tempted! There's even a limited-edition coffin featuring a cute girl from the Wangshengtang brand available for purchase now!]

[For deposits, come to Northern Bank! We're not the producers of Mora, we're just its distributors!]

"Gan Yu, what is this?" Ke Qing picked up the red flyer with large yellow characters on the desk with a puzzled look. After reading it, her lips twitched slightly. There really are people advertising like this?

"The Northern Bank's promotional materials have been quite extensive these days. I estimate that nine out of ten people in Liyue know about it. It seems they've even done some kind of collaboration with the Hall of Rebirth..." Gan Yu smiled helplessly, resting her chin on her hand. "I really can't understand young people's thoughts anymore. Should I also try to explore new things?"

Would anyone really spend real money on Mora just for an Emperor figurine? In the end, figurines and dolls are pretty much the same, with some collectible value at most. There's absolutely no need to go out of your way to buy one just for that.

"boring."

Keqing put the flyer back on the table, her cat head bobbing as she said, "They call it a figurine, but it's just a crude doll. They think people will buy it just because it has the Emperor's name on it. They really underestimate us Liyue people."

She gave a haughty snort, turned around and left Gan Yu's office, muttering something like, "It's just a figurine, I don't understand what's so appealing about these things."

Three days later.

Gan Yu stood outside the North Bank, looking at the bustling crowd and fell silent. Didn't everyone say they couldn't come? Why are there still so many people?

She soon learned the reason: the exquisite Rock King Emperor figurine advertised on the flyer was displayed in a transparent display case outside the Northern Bank.

lifelike.

This was Gan Yu's first thought. Before she could even form a second thought, she had already involuntarily rushed into the queue.

Inside the booth, the Emperor figurine, holding a rock spear, strolls through the streets of Liyue. The streets on the platform look incredibly real, and even the ginkgo trees and fallen ginkgo leaves are so lifelike.

This made Gan Yu wonder. If the Emperor's figurine was already so outrageous, then how outrageous would the top ten mysterious figurines be?

Could it be a life-size statue of the Emperor?!

Gan Yu clenched her small fists and charged forward with her nimble body. She was determined to defeat Mora today!

It's a pity that Ah Qing didn't come, but she's never seemed to care much for the Emperor, so she probably wouldn't be interested in these figurines...

Welcome to Northern Bank!

With a charming smile, Lily of the Valley presents a small, transparent card with a distinctly Liyue feel. The words "Northern Bank" are engraved in a powerful, vigorous calligraphy in the corner, while the card features an aerial view of Liyue Harbor and a trace of Mora on the back.

"This is…?"

"This is a card that represents your account. You can use this card to withdraw Mora in the future. How much do you want to deposit?"

Linglan's smile was incredibly charming; even Gan Yu, standing behind the counter, was captivated by it. "Ten thousand is fine..." she silently took out the Mora bag and willingly offered up her Mora.

There are currently three windows open at the Northern Bank, and all the staff are adorable young women. Gan Yu even saw Hu Tao wearing a pure white dress.

Gan Yu was somewhat surprised that the Northern Bank had suddenly become so popular, wondering if Ning Guang knew about it.

"You are the 100th customer to recharge 100,000 Mora. This is your Geo Archon figure. It has a limited edition number on the bottom of the base~"

Linglan handed over the figurine box with a smile. Gan Yu took it with both hands and found it to be surprisingly heavy. The exquisite Emperor could be seen through the transparent film. This was definitely worth it!

If you can earn interest on your deposits and even get free figurines, wouldn't that bankrupt the Northern Bank in no time?

This is an absolute steal! It's a real shame Ah Qing didn't come. Even if she doesn't like the Emperor, she can still keep him as a collectible. It looks like he'll get promoted sooner or later, and then she can sell him for a considerable income.

Gan Yu, carrying a figurine box, accidentally bumped into the figure wearing a hat and hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, did I hurt you... Ah Qing?!"

The girl wearing a hat on the ground suddenly trembled and turned to run away, but Gan Yu grabbed her wrist.

"I... I was just passing by. I have a lot of official business to attend to. Yuheng Star is very busy!"

Ke Maomao took a few steps back, her voice trembling, as if she had been caught in the act of adultery, but she still managed to maintain a strong and calm demeanor and offer her defense.

"Could this be a mysterious figurine that only the top ten can get?!" Gan Yu stared at the figurine box in Ke Maomao's arms, which was a whole size bigger than hers, with a very curious look in her eyes!

Ke Qing wore a look of utter despair. She had made thorough preparations, so why was she still bumped into by an acquaintance? Now, wouldn't her identity as a fan of the Emperor be exposed?

She queued up at the Northern Bank at 5 a.m. for the Emperor figurine and successfully snagged the first mysterious figurine not long ago. She was so excited that she almost fainted when she saw the Emperor inside through the outer shell.

Reluctantly, Ke Qing returned to the office with Gan Yu and opened the figure box. The next moment, what appeared before them was an exaggeratedly large base, as transparent as the real ocean, with even the mountain peaks carved with patterns.

The moment when Morax, wielding the Rainbow Spear, suppressed Oser was captured, almost like a replica of a scene from the Demon God War. To call this a figurine would be an insult to this statue; it is a work of art.

An artwork worthy of being placed in the Liyue History Museum!

Ke Qing and Gan Yu almost forgot to breathe. At the same time, they both felt a sense of regret. Ke Qing regretted not having someone else queue up for her to get another item in the collection, while Gan Yu wished she could go back in time to tell herself to queue up earlier.

"Ke, Qingqing~" Gan Yu suddenly hugged Ke Qing's leg, her eyes brimming with tears, and pitifully pointed at the lifelike Rainbow Spear in Morax's hand, saying, "We've been sisters for so long, just give this to me!!!"

"Can't!"

Ke Qing, upholding the principle of righteousness over family ties, refused Gan Yu's request. She couldn't possibly let such a handsome emperor handle a plastic weapon.

The instruction manual mentions that the Rainbow Piercing Spear is made of weapon alloy, and in a sense, apart from being a bit small, it is a real weapon.

"Your Zhongli figurine, hmm... it's cute even though it's small!" Keqing blinked and said seriously.

Chapter 164 Punching the Jade Pavilion and kicking the Golden House, directly unifying Liyue!

"Brother Su Ming."

"You are a genius."

Linglan had never been so shocked. As Su Ming's attendant, she had witnessed the miracle Su Ming had created in just one week.

When Su Ming brought out the first sample of Morax's Oser, Linglan was immediately shocked. She couldn't imagine how complicated the process would be to create such a high-precision figurine. No wonder only the top ten could get it for free.

"Can I have this?" Linglan squatted in front of the statue and reluctantly touched the base with her index finger, her face clearly saying, "I really want it."

Su Ming smiled and nodded, "Of course, it's just a sample after all. If you want to take it, just take it. I'll make a more exquisite one for you later."

"Really?" A look of surprise flashed in Linglan's beautiful eyes. She then gave Su Ming a big hug and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

During this week, Su Ming successfully used the mechanical creator's abilities to build all the theoretically possible machines, forming a reasonably usable figurine production line. The only drawback was the rather slow production speed; only one set of Zhongli Cicha (or rather, Ausel's) statue could be produced per day, while ten sets of Chenshi Xianyou Zhongli could be produced per day.
