Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

(I want to get on the recommendation list, but that requires updating 4,000 words for three consecutive days, which I don't have the time for. So I'll just write 4,000 words in three days, for a total of 12,000 words in twelve days. This is just a budget.)

(Sorry everyone, I'm really sleep-deprived. If I lose focus, I fall behind in class. Like everyone else in top high schools, I want to get into a good university. Humanities subjects require memorizing a lot of information from the books, so I need to pay attention to the words on the whiteboard at all times. I can't afford to be sleepy or lose focus, otherwise I might miss some important points because I don't have enough time.)

(I'm so sorry everyone, I've been quite busy lately. My stupid school is sending me on a study tour to Qufu and Linyi, which costs 490 yuan. I went, so I haven't updated for a few days.)

————Back to the main text————

Fortunately, the lady wasn't there, otherwise she would have scolded Chen Xi to his face for serving two masters and suspected him of having ulterior motives towards Empress Zhidong.

"As compensation, this is for you. Whether you take it or not is up to you." Chen Xi took out the anti-wear pills he had bought earlier from his system backpack and handed them to Zhong Li.

"As an envoy of the Kingdom of Zhidong, there are some things I cannot do without my consent. Please forgive me."

Zhongli: "Alright, I accept your kindness."

……

Paimon: "Have you noticed that [the pilgrim] shows great respect to Zhongli?"

Kong: "Didn't he just say that he is also considered a Liyue person, so it's normal for him to be very respectful to Zhongli after learning about Zhongli's identity?"

Paimon felt like his brain was about to explode: "That makes sense."

……

Chen Xi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "The task Her Majesty the Empress entrusted to us has been completed. I will take my leave now. I hope we will meet again, Mr. Zhongli."

“Okay.” Zhongli nodded.

Tadalia: "Goodbye, Mr. Zhongli. I'm going back to report. See you next time!"

The scholar politely waved goodbye: "Goodbye."

Zhongli: "I wish you a safe journey."

……

The three executives, along with their Fool soldiers, boarded a ship and returned to winter. After a two-day voyage, they arrived at the port of the Eastern Kingdom.

The foolish soldiers cleared a path and lined up in two rows to allow the three victorious executors to quickly reach the Eastern Palace to pay homage to the Winter Queen.

Chen Xi took out his military overcoat in advance and put it on, and gave one to D'Artagnan to wear in order to avoid catching a cold. As for the "scholar", there was no need to pay attention to him. Chen Xi believed that the slices were very resistant to cold and that the Dotore-made products would definitely be of high quality.

The "scholar" knew that Chen Xi was still angry with him, so he didn't say much and could only watch helplessly. Chen Xi thought he was lying to her again and ignored him.

……

In the very center of the palace, Queen Winter sat regally on her throne. Although there was no covering whatsoever, her face remained obscured, as if a layer of mist concealed something. (Yes, the powerful plot forbids viewing.)

All three executives knelt on one knee. Chen Xi said, "We have completed this mission. Please, Your Majesty, indicate the next course of action."

The Winter Queen remained expressionless: "[Childe] will continue to serve as an envoy in Liyue, while [Wanderer] and [Professor] will go to Inazuma to assist [Scattered] in obtaining the Heart of God from Balzebub."

"You've worked hard. I'll have [the rich man] allocate some funds to throw you a celebration banquet tonight. You can rest for three days before continuing your mission. You may leave now."

The "scholar" tried to help Chen Xi up, but before his hand could even touch her arm, he was knocked down. Chen Xi asked Dadalia to pull her up because her leg was numb.

Chen Xi stood up: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

This was the first time Empress Zhidong had heard her subordinates thank her. She paused for a moment, then sent a telepathic message to Chen Xi to stay behind while the others left.

Chen Xi: "What are Your Majesty's instructions for dismissing the other officials and leaving me alone?"

Queen Winter asked in confusion, "Why are you thanking me?"

Chen Xi said frankly, "Because we can rest for three days before carrying out the mission." Our school doesn't have it that easy. Of course, I have to thank you; I'm the Winter Queen's dog!

Queen Winter: "This is nothing to thank me for."

Chen Xi flattered, "But this is enough to show that Your Majesty cares about your subjects, and is not as cold as you appear on the surface. I suppose the God of Compassion must have been particularly gentle in the past, but due to some reasons that cannot be said, he has become like this now."

Queen Winter: "You're just like him..."

Chen Xi's curiosity compelled him to ask, "Who is this person Your Majesty speaks of?"

The Winter Queen seemed to be recalling something: "One of my former kin, a human."

Chen Xi fell into deep thought: "..." Could it be that something went wrong because of my intrusion into the plot? Can humans become servants of gods? Does that make sense?

……

Suddenly remembering his important matter, he said, "I have other matters to attend to, Your Majesty. Please grant me permission."

Winter Queen: "Speak."

Chen Xi: "I would like to go to Xumi first to take care of some personal matters, and then go to Daoqi."

The "scholar" still needs to be saved, but whether he can be saved is unknown and depends entirely on luck.

Empress Zhidong did not inquire about the matter: "Granted."

Chen Xi was surprised that she was so easy to talk to, and immediately praised, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Empress Zhidong feigned seriousness: "Ahem, from now on, you should have the other executives learn these phrases too." I wanted to hear them praise me more.

Chen Xi: "I understand." Actually, you just want them to praise you more; everyone likes to be praised.

Empress Zhidong turned her back to Chen Xi and said, "If there's nothing else, you can go and rest. Someone will inform you where to go for the banquet."

"Your subject takes his leave." Chen Xi first took a few steps back, then turned and left.

……

Outside the Winter Palace

D'Artagnan paced back and forth until he saw Chen Xi finally emerge, then went to greet him.

"What did Her Majesty the Queen say to you? Would you like to share it?"

Chen Xi: "When the time comes, someone will inform us where to attend the banquet. That's all. Her Majesty the Empress doesn't allow us to say anything else."

The "scholar" suddenly appeared and tried to take Chen Xi's hand, but was ruthlessly shaken off.

"Are you still angry? Aren't you coming back with me?"

Chen Xi was naturally unwilling: "I'll go with D'Artagnan. You can do the experiment by yourself. See you at the banquet."

The scholar had no choice but to give up: "Please ask the eleventh seat to take good care of him for me."

D'Artagnan: "Okay."

The "scholar" left and headed to the laboratory.

Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he left, and leaned wearily against D'Artagnan.

"Please help me find a place to rest for a while."

D'Artagnan hoisted Chen Xi onto his shoulder: "How about coming to my house? But keep my status as an executive officer a secret."

"it is good."

“Tok will be very happy to see you; this is the first time I’ve brought someone home…”

"Ah."

D'Artagnan talked about his family the whole way, which shows how much he cares about them.

"...By the way, I've never heard you mention your family before. Could you tell me about them?"

"They... I can't remember. Ugh, my head hurts. [Doctor] should be considered family, he was really good to me before..."

Chen Xi found that she couldn't remember what her parents looked like or their voices, as if they had never existed. It all seemed like a dream, and her memories seemed to have been altered.

D'Artagnan: "[Doctor]? He's not a good person. He's nice to you for a reason."

Chen Xi: "I know, but I can't think of any other people in this world who are close to me."

D'Artagnan: "You look younger than me. If you don't mind, you can call me brother."

Chen Xi always felt that he was taking advantage of her, but she was indeed younger than him: "Brother Tadalia? Just call me Chen Xi, I'm not used to that name."

Tartaglia: "Is that your original name? The word 'Xi' in Liyue means the morning sun, shining on everyone like the sun. It's a nice meaning."

Chen Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "...Yes, are we almost at your house?"

“It’s just ahead!” D’Artagnan said, pointing to the manor not far away, his voice cheerful and light.

The manor covers an area roughly the size of four school football fields. The gate is open, and a patrol of Fools soldiers guards it, so it's very safe.

Chen Xi revealed the evil eye he knew the Empress had given him, and the Fools' soldiers saluted the two of them, allowing them to pass.

"I begged him for ages before he agreed to give it to me, so you don't have to worry about your family's safety."

"Thank you so much!"

Tadalia put Chen Xi down and gave him a bear hug.

Chen Xi: "Let go quickly and go knock on the door. Your family must miss you terribly."

D'Artagnan let go of him, walked to the door and knocked three times with her backhand. The door was pushed open, and the little boy was very happy to see D'Artagnan. He pulled D'Artagnan into the house, and Chen Xi followed.

"Brother, why are you only coming back now? Tok missed you so much." Tok hugged Dadalia's arm affectionately.

Although it was embarrassing for her colleagues to see her like this, Tartaglia, being a doting brother, patiently comforted her younger brother and said in a doting tone, "We've had a lot of work lately, and there are many children like Tok who need the one-eyed baby, so I was away on a business trip to Liyue for a long time."

Chen Xi forced herself not to laugh and cooperated with him: "Yes, I am your brother's colleague, what he said is true."

D'Artagnan was very grateful for Chen Xi's cooperation and added him to the list of people he could trust.

"This is Brother Chen Xi. Because his home is too far away, his brother invited him to rest here. I hope Tok doesn't mind?"

Tok was very well-behaved and sensible: "No, no, my brother's colleague is my friend."

D'Artagnan patted Tok's head; their brotherly bond was truly enviable.

"Tok, are there any spare rooms in the house? He's exhausted and needs to rest."

Tok: "Yes, I'll go ask Sister Donya to help me tidy up. It'll be done in a bit."

Chen Xi: "Thank you, Tok."

Tok: "Brother Chen Xi, you're welcome."

When Dadalia saw that Chen Xi was so sleepy that he could fall asleep standing up, she told him to lean on the sofa for a while and went to help tidy up the room.

While waiting, Chen Xi fell asleep without realizing it, and it was Dadalia who carried him to bed and covered him with a blanket.

……

Chen Xi called out in her mind:

Does the system have any skills or techniques like those in cultivation novels that allow you to control a sword?

System: Yes, Sword Control Technique, 1 Mora. The price has recently gone up because I want to buy more bags of snacks.

Chen Xi complained: So you're just going to ruthlessly exploit me?

System: Ruthless. Anyway, you have a lot of Mora, and there are also a lot of Mora in the Northern Bank.

Chen Xi: I think there's a saying that makes a lot of sense.

System: Which sentence?

Chen Xi: No business can succeed without cunning.

System: Thanks for the compliment. So, are you going to buy it or not?

Chen Xi: Of course I'll buy it; I need this to get around.

The system automatically deducted 1 Mora. There's a tutorial below on how to use it; please check it out yourself.

The method of using the Sword Control Technique is as follows:

You can envelop the sword with elemental power (or anything else), make a sword gesture with your left or right hand, and control it with your mind. It can be used for attacking or escaping, and everyone who has used it says it's great.

Chen Xi: Tsk, I feel like I've been tricked.

System: You can control tens of thousands of weapons, like the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique from novels. You're not at a loss at all, okay?

Chen Xi: Then... is there anything like a teleportation anchor point?

The system checked the shop and replied: Not available at the moment, but there is a skill that can teleport you to the believer's side, which comes with the Dream Demon God's Authority.

Close your eyes and feel the call of the believer with your heart. You can teleport to the believer's side or back by moving your thoughts. I heard that you humans call this a divine manifestation. You can try it.

Chen Xi: Hmm.

laboratory

Seeing a soldier walking slowly, Azir kicked him: "It's an honor for you to become [Doctor's] experimental subjects! Hurry up and go inside!"

The bound lead sergeant explained, "We are Lord [The Wanderer's] men; you've arrested the wrong person!"

Azir scoffed, "[Doctor] is [Wanderer]'s teacher, so naturally [Doctor] can use his people at will!"

Another soldier flew into a rage, breaking free of his ropes: "What do you mean, 'use at will'? I think you're just using us as experimental subjects!"

Azir was terrified and was knocked to the ground before he could react. Blood flowed from his nose, and the other soldiers' fists pounded hard on his face, leaving him bruised and battered, making him look utterly pathetic.

The sounds of rioting quickly attracted the attention of others.

Seeing his superior being beaten, the captain of the guards roared, "Stop! What are you doing?!"

Azir struggled: "Take them down! They're trying to escape!"

A squad of guards surrounded them with weapons, re-tied them with ropes, and led them into the laboratory.

……

The "scholar" prepared the potion: "How's the matter I asked you to do coming along?"

Azir: "My lord, everyone is already inside."

"Scholar": "Very good, the experiment can begin."

……

"The experiment begins."

"Inject DR251!"

(A name made up by the author)

The needle pierced the vein, and the medication entered the circulation with the blood flow, waiting a few minutes for the effects to take hold. "Pfft..." The sergeant coughed up blood, trying to speak but unable to, slowly closing his eyes, awaiting death.

"Azir, you will die a horrible death!" The soldier's blood vessels burst, staining his clothes a glaring red, and he eventually died from excessive blood loss.

"Brother, I can't go back..."

"Now I can finally reunite with my mom and dad..."

Another soldier's body exploded because it could not withstand too much energy. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and body parts were scattered on Azir's head. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.

The soldier convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and died ten minutes later.

Some soldiers, unable to bear the pain, bit off the poison hidden in their teeth and committed suicide. Others, suffering mental damage, became mentally impaired and were ruthlessly killed by the guards.

In addition, a few individuals with strong willpower survived.

……

Azir was used to this and ignored the horrific scene: "Sir, there were 60 people in total, with 3 survivors..."

The "scholar" wiped the blood from his face with his hand, his expression calm, as if it had nothing to do with him: "...It's already very good. You can handle the rest."

Azir: "Yes."

"You three, come with me!" The guard untied the ropes binding the three survivors. The survivors stared blankly at them as if they were dead, their hearts filled with rage that could erupt at any moment.

They hated why they couldn't protect their brothers, hated the people who used them for experiments, hated that they were "Wanderers" being used for experiments, and hated that their lives were worthless in the eyes of this executive officer...

"kill--"

"Go to hell, Doctor!"

"kill--"

The survivors raised the daggers they had hidden at their waists and stabbed at the "scholars." The guards' long swords pierced their bodies first. On the verge of death, the soldiers were filled with despair, crying out, "Gods, why have you abandoned me?"
