Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

[It seems Mu's wife was right after all; the Fools definitely have a secret they're hiding.]

Would it be better if we told Qingge?

[How foolish of me! I should have told Qingge that Dadalia seemed quite wary of her.]

Return to Liyue.

At Bubulu, the story continues.

Mu Qingge knew what was going to happen next, but she didn't intend to stop it.

Isn't that a fun part of the game?

She can't reduce the amount of story content for players just for her own convenience.

So, at the request of the little zombie Qiqi, the four of them went to Tianheng Mountain to repair the Returning Machine, and then returned empty-handed.

When Zhongli and the other two finally understood what Qiqi meant, they were speechless.

However, faced with the adorable Qiqi, they could only accept their bad luck.

It was Bai Shu who came to their rescue.

Not long after, Dattaria arrived. Upon hearing about the incident involving the coconut sheep, he couldn't stop laughing and offered to pay for it himself.

Finally, Zhongli uttered those words:

"Well, two million nine hundred and ninety thousand doesn't sound like much at first glance, but from a generally rational point of view, it is indeed ten thousand less than three million."

With the matter of the Incense of Rebirth resolved, Zhongli bid farewell to the others and left the place.

Mu Qingge left behind Zhong Li.

The conversation between the young master and the spies of the Fools when he left revealed the location of the Immortal Ancestor's physical remains to him: the Golden House.

Player perspective.

[It turns out their target was the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation!]

While what was said earlier wasn't wrong, their true goal is actually the Heart of God!

[Oh no, does nobody know that the Fools have already received the news?]

[Uh... how do we get the Heart of God? Cut him open? That's a bit too cruel!]

[Based on the example of Barbatos having his heart ripped out, it's likely they'll only get the heart of God, without harming the body. It probably won't be that cruel, considering this is a 16+ game.]

Liyue.

The ceremonies for sending off the immortals were basically complete, and Zhongli took it upon himself to host a dinner party.

Mu Qingge declined the Emperor's offer and decided not to get involved in the matter afterward.

It wasn't because she was unwilling, but because she felt it was time to go back and take charge.

Fengyan has already sent someone to urge him on; he's undecided on several major issues.

Perhaps it wasn't that he couldn't make up his mind, but rather that Mu Qingge's decisions were all correct, and he didn't want to take any risks in these major aspects.

In addition, Mu Qingge also needs to prepare for what's to come, whether it's facing the young master, Ausel, or her wife, Ba Che.

The Chiyan Army must be fully prepared!

These soldiers are the treasures of their families; their lives must be protected!

Chapter 28 Waiting for a Duck to Run into a Tree Stump

Back at her post, Mu Qingge immediately got to work.

While we were at it, we also took care of a few things that Fengyan hadn't been able to decide on.

After everything was finished, it got dark, and the body was quite exhausted.

Mu Qingge went to bed to rest and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Mu Qingge was asleep, but Jiang Mumu was not.

At this point, she has figured out how to interact with game characters in the real world. Not only can she interact with players, but she can also edit and add her own storylines to the game "Genshin Impact".

Before, I was unsure whether I was actually in the storyline, and I was always uncertain about what I was doing.

Things are different now; the room for maneuver has been greatly increased!

If I remember correctly, the young master will probably go to the Golden House tomorrow, fight the traveler, and then release Lord Lone Cloud's Oser.

There are many highlights in the Liyue storyline, and Mu Qingge, disguised as a character, is indispensable in several major battles that follow.

And it's not just about being present; she also has to shine!

There are plenty of opportunities for her to leave a lasting impression on players.

However, Jiang Mumu still felt it wasn't enough.

She's planning to create another mini-climax before the main climax begins—something just for her.

Anyway, Liyue already has a lot of big scenes, so a little more won't hurt.

……

That same evening, Jiang Mumu's other alias, Angie, the first lieutenant under Captain Capitano and the first executive officer of the Fools of Winterfell, also arrived in Liyue Harbor.

Angie came alone, without anyone with her. She was still wearing the same outfit she had worn at the foot of the snow mountain, and she immediately attracted the attention of Qianyan Army upon entering the port.

Anqi explained to Qianyanjun that she was looking for her relatives.

After filling in some basic information, she successfully entered Liyue Harbor.

As expected of a commercial capital, it seems even more bustling at night.

Angie strolled around Liyue Harbor. She originally wanted to go to Wanmin Hall, but it was already closed at this time.

She randomly chose a restaurant, ordered a large table of delicious food, and then rested after a satisfying meal.

……

Time quickly passed to the second day.

Mu Qingge got up early to wash up, then called Feng Yan over, gave him a few instructions, and left.

She was not in a hurry to go to the Golden House, because the traveler's progress was far from that point.

That's right, she now has a clear understanding of the Traveler's and Paimon's progress.

As mentioned before, Jiang Mumu can play games.

Her game progress is different from the players'; her game progress is real-time.

In other words, as long as she keeps up with the progress, her progress bar in the game Genshin Impact directly corresponds to the progress of Luminosity and Paimon on the Teyvat continent.

They're still sleeping.

The reason Mu Qingge came out so early was that she had to go to the Hall of Rebirth to apologize.

Yes, an apology.

She had previously rescinded the order for the Thousand Rock Army to arrest Ying and Paimon, but for some reason, one squad did not receive the order.

They somehow learned that Ying and the others were with Zhongli and seemed to know him well, so they stormed off to the Hall of Rebirth.

He then got into a conflict with Hu Tao and was beaten out by Hu Tangzhu.

Mu Qingge only found out about this last night while she was at work.

After learning the whole story, Mu Qingge punished the Qianyan soldiers involved by deducting three months' salary and also gave each of them several lashes.

It wasn't that she had ulterior motives, but those Qianyan soldiers really did go too far.

Mu Qingge understood that they were agitated by the Emperor's death, but that was not an excuse for their dereliction of duty.

She has already punished her very lightly.

As soon as Mu Qingge entered the Hall of Rebirth, she saw Hu Tao sitting idly in a chair.

He wore a hat with the Qiankun Tai hexagram on his head, had plum blossom eyes, and his slender fingers were painted with jet-black nail polish. He wore a long black robe that reached his waist, shorts, socks, and black shoes, with red knots tied around his legs. His divine eye was on his back.

The moment Mu Qingge came into Hu Tao's view, the lively Master Hu jumped up.

"Qingge, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you here for ages!"

"Did Hall Master Hu know I was coming?"

"Hehe, of course. A lot of people saw what happened before. I thought you would come yesterday."

Hu Tao glanced at Mu Qingge's face and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything was normal: "Let me make this clear first, they were the ones who were disrespectful to the deceased and spoke harshly. I was just defending myself."

Mu Qingge is not very old, not much older than Hu Tao. Although the two don't usually talk much, Mu Qingge really likes Hu Tao, this energetic girl.

Furthermore, if you really look at it, she and Hu Tao also have a business relationship, so she can be considered Hu Tao's honored guest.

Some of the Thousand Rock Army's missions are quite dangerous, such as clearing out monsters and treasure-hunting groups, which are the most prone to accidents.

“I already know the whole story. I’m not here to accuse them, but to apologize on their behalf. Master Hu did nothing wrong. I failed to control my subordinates properly, and they, including their leader, have received the punishment they deserve.”

Mu Qingge and Hu Tao are about the same age, but their appearances are very different.

To be honest, Mu Qingge is somewhere between an adult woman and a young girl; she's tall enough but her temperament doesn't match, while Hu Tao has the figure of a young girl.

"We will also take responsibility for the losses of Wangsheng Hall. We only hope that Hall Master Hu will not have a bad impression of Qianyan Army because of this matter."

"Oh dear, what are you saying?" Hu Tao immediately waved her hand.

"I stopped caring about this a long time ago. 'A thousand cliffs are solid, a thousand peaks are unyielding, a thousand cities are armed, and demons and evil are pacified.' This saying is well-known in Liyue. I, Hu Tao, was actually afraid that you would come to question me. I had no other intentions."

Mu Qingge was pulled to sit down by Hu Tao, who then reached out her small hand and pressed on Mu Qingge's shoulder, as if giving her a massage.

After feeling the hard texture of the armor, Hu Tao quietly withdrew her restless little hand.

"Qingge, why are you always wearing this... armor?"

"I've been very busy lately, and there are many things that require my presence at any time. Wearing this armor makes it more convenient. Besides, this armor is extraordinary, not heavy, and very comfortable to wear."

"By the way, Master Hu, is Mr. Zhongli currently at the Hall of Rebirth?"

"You mean Zhongli? He went out very early this morning, before I even got out of bed. I don't know where he went. What happened? I hope he didn't do anything wrong."

"Master, you misunderstand. I'm looking for Mr. Zhongli for other matters."

"..."

After chatting with Hu Tao for a while, Mu Qingge left the Hall of Rebirth.

To her surprise, she bumped into Ye Lan head-on.

"Night Orchid?"

Ye Lan nodded gently, pulled Mu Qingge aside, and explained only after confirming that no one was around.

After listening to the whole thing, Mu Qingge couldn't help but frown.

"Hmm...you can even lose track of people?"

Ye Lan nodded solemnly:

“The other party’s behavior is very suspicious. Her registered name in Qianyan Army is Anqi, from Zhidong. This is her portrait. Be careful.”

Mu Qingge took the portrait, glanced at it, and asked:

"mask?"

"She always wore a mask, which is why I investigated her, but unfortunately..."

Mu Qingge put the portrait into her bosom. It was quite lifelike. She wondered who painted it, but it probably wasn't Ye Lan.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

After Ye Lan left, Mu Qingge paused in thought: So it was Ye Lan who had been following me before.

This "self" is naturally Anqi. She was followed when she left the restaurant this morning. In order for the next plot to proceed smoothly, Anqi spent some time getting rid of Yelan.

As expected of Ye Lan, her strength is indeed formidable; she must have put in a lot of effort.

Mu Qingge will not participate in the following plot; she has more important things to do.

Judging from the progress in the game, Tartaglia is probably already planning to go to the Golden House.

We need to find a suitable reason and a suitable time to go; tracking down Angie is a very good reason.
