Chapter 19 Update Expansion Pack Why didn’t you call me?
"The traveler glanced at King Rādhāraṇa and did not answer.
"You mean to say you came here through Liyue? How interesting, Traveler, I am also considered an ally of Liyue!"
The Ruota Dragon King realized it later and said, "Traveler, you don't have to worry about him. The Dream Demon God won't do anything in Impas. Now he can only say unpleasant words."
——"Because of Lord Impas?"
Paimon suddenly grew bolder, pointing at the Dream Demon. "Impass is such a good man, but he actually took in this bad guy! Xiao must be having a hard time working with Liyue! And, even after following Impass, why is she still like this? Won't she change?!"
Before Ruota could speak, the Dream Demon God was amused. "That's really interesting. You don't think that since I became that man's subordinate, I have to cry and atone for my past sins? I won't, and that man won't ask me to do that."
"Or do you think that just because you've heard his stories, you understand him better than us, his subordinates who have worked with him? Oh~ How can you have such a cute and naive idea? I almost pity you."
——“…”
"Of course Impas doesn't care about my past. You know, most of the demons here have done evil. Why don't you blame them? Is it because... none of your friends were among their victims? Hahaha! What a coincidence! Impas feels the same way."
——She said: "But I don't know those humans. I have no idea how they died. No matter how many people died or how they died, I only know an approximate number, not even a specific number! I only care about the people in my territory... and you, my loyal subordinates!"
The Dream Demon's originally calm aura gradually turned frantic. "Ever since my death in the Demon War, resentment has roamed Liyue, leaving no peace. What you said is already a thing of the past! I'm alive now because of Impas, not for some ridiculous atonement!"
She said, "Although I am human, I don't need the demon to love me. I love you, the demons I brought home, my subordinates, and I don't need you to respond... I allow you not to love humans, I allow you to escape, I allow you to be cowardly, as long as you can help my territory."
"He gave me life, freeing me from the shackles of pain, fate and nightmares. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"Do you think I can love humans now? No, how could I love those things that haunt me in nightmares and are at the mercy of the sky!"
"Humanity only includes Impas and others. So is there anything wrong with me choosing Impas?"
The traveler watched quietly, and suddenly realized that the demons of the Impas Empire were probably just like the Dream Demon before him, loyal only to their monarch.
Loyal to that boy.
But why are they able to sit at the same table and stand shoulder to shoulder with humans?
Finally, the Dragon King sighed—
"After he left, there wasn't much left. Apart from ourselves, there was only this country."
"He didn't even have time to choose a name for his country."
Such a strong sense of widowership!
Ming Chong took a deep breath and contributed to the rising temperature on the continent of Teyvat.
So what’s going on?!
Dead or not?
Is he dead, or not completely dead?
...like death?
- Yes, this simulation has ended due to force majeure, and this option has been locked.
So miserable.
How miserable!
The simulator is me doing sit-ups between life and death?!
Hey, that's fun!
However, Ming Chong always felt that something was not quite right...
I was so attached to the previous second-brush option that I didn't have time this time, so I just typed it in... But after reading the post-mortem...
woc!
So many male ghosts!
Okay, okay, everyone secretly took the dark and heavy man's script...
--no!
Ming Chong: I knew it would give me a job, but I didn’t expect it would give me such a job!
Talk about one, two, three... anyway, there are a lot of them!
—This simulation did not develop in this way.
Just as Ming Chong was about to raise an objection, the simulator came face to face with another CG [Loser Alliance]—
Title: The Halo of the Antagonist
"Why does a villain who always fails have so many followers?"
Title Effect: You are the hope in desperate situations, the helping hand when you are at your wit's end, the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Wearing this title grants you the "Comeback Buff."
Phanes: A high-spirited young man will refuse any failure."
Ming Chong looked carefully several times but found nothing unusual.
What's going on?
There's nothing wrong with that!
The simulator highlighted the name "Fanes" in red.
—Oh…oh! So this is where it’s different!!
……so what?
- In this simulation, the player attracted the attention of [First Throne] Phanes, and was therefore targeted by the sky.
“…”

ah?
What throne? What Phanes?
Updated expansion pack?
No one informed?!
Simulator, the simulator is speechless.
——Do you want to check the death records?
Okay, let me check it out!

stunned.jpg
What is this?!
...shit!
With so much armor stacked up, why isn't there any combat scene?!
This combat system is really fucked up!
hetui!
Ming Chong only knew that this round had not ended yet and the options were locked.
- In this simulation, players died a total of 247 times.
——Shut up! You are the only one who is smart!
Ming Chong was a little angry and embarrassed.
Humph, since the simulator has prompted him, he will just treat it as a discussion this time. The object is some new throne released in the expansion pack.
Seeing that nothing happened in the territory he had worked so hard to build, he didn't bother thinking about the final battle process.
But one thing is very obvious -
He is still too weak!
I can't do anything.jpg
And it seems that this "Wordless Monument" can play a role in resurrection...but the process is a bit bumpy and he doesn't understand it at all.
Ming Chong looked at the remaining option that he had not clicked a second time and felt a little scared.
He felt like he had already used up his brain for the next three days today, and he really couldn't think anymore.
Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.jpg
——But then again (chew chew chew) as expected, before going to Sky Island, I (chew chew chew) spent the entire night studying the effects of the title (chew chew chew) before I finally successfully performed the combo!
I can't even imagine how much he must have looked like in the eyes of the people in the Infrastructure Territory, with that Mary Sue halo of "The Farewell Curtain" on him, stuck there half-dead with bugs!!
—And that Kanreya (chew, chew, chew). So that's a human kingdom (chew, chew, chew). I should learn more about it when I get a chance (chew, chew, chew). It seems quite up my alley...
Rule over the gods with a mortal body!
How handsome!
It's a pity that today's rewind times have been used up, otherwise Ming Chong would have the experience of a generation of lords. Uh... He just thought about what he would have to talk to Ningguang about soon -
Regarding the Future Development Route of the Treasure Hunting Group
I feel like the food I eat is a little hard to swallow...
"Don't force yourself to eat if you can't finish it. The food is almost cold." Ningguang glanced at him.
What? It turns out that the simulator is for eating. I’m already full!
Ming Chong put down his chopsticks reluctantly, feeling that disaster was about to happen.
As for infrastructure, he does have some experience on the keyboard, but if you really ask him, he can only delay it!
He will definitely do it tomorrow!
"...You don't have to worry so much, Chong. I'm not asking you to come up with a complete and effective set of rules all at once." Ningguang said helplessly.
"We're mainly discussing the cooperation model between the Treasure Stealers and Liyue. The internal rules of the Treasure Stealers still need to be considered in light of practical considerations. Your previous idea is a good one. At least, there won't be any major mistakes."
"Cooperation model..." Ming Chong pondered these words with difficulty, "Are we finally going to have a collusion between officials and bandits?"
“…”
Ningguang's lips twitched as she finally explained, feeling exhausted. "Ye Lan previously inquired about your reorganized treasure-hunting group. We can focus on your post-retirement work arrangements and the missions of your spies within Liyue."
"You've already strengthened your credibility, security, and identity confidentiality. So, there's a great deal of potential for us to collaborate."
Um……
It feels like the knowledge passes smoothly through the cerebral cortex.
"Okay! I understand!" Ming Chong opened his wide, intelligent eyes. "Everything you said can be cooperative, Ningguang. Tomorrow I'll have my person in charge of this matter come and discuss it in detail with... your people."
—I’ll go to the dock soon and strap my external brain home! (clenched fist)
Ningguang nodded, unsuspecting. She had considerable confidence in Mingchong's ability to identify and employ people; their talents were all extremely reliable... except for the need to verify the factions to which his subordinates belonged.
"By the way, A Chong, I will ask Ye Lan to hand over to you when the time comes. Such cooperation requires high confidentiality, and she will be in charge from now on."
Finally, after Ming Chong watched Ningguang leave, he immediately ran towards the fishing spot at the pier.
This is called emergency hedging!
I also stole a sack on the way.
Hehehehehe!
When Ming Chong was about 200 meters away, he showed a smile of an old farmer with a good harvest, activated the 100% borrowing technique, and used the Black Tiger Heart-Rip to put the man into a sack.
One hand holds a dragon, the other hand holds everyone.
Today is really a great harvest!
“Ah ...
"Oh no! It's not like that at all! I'm here! Someone is stealing someone! Hurry up and save them!!"
The passersby in Liyue who witnessed the great metamorphosis let out sharp explosions.
The explosive content attracted a crowd of workers and shop owners to watch.
He didn't even look back. As soon as the "Qian Kun" opened up, he ran back to Qingce Manor overnight.
“…Boss?”
"Didn't you say you wanted to go traveling?"
Ah Jiang held the Crow Seal and his eyes wandered, finally falling on the sack that Ming Chong was holding under his arm and was still squirming.
"Mmmmm--who is it!"
“…”
At this moment, the history of the sound transmission in the Golden Crow Seal kept replaying in his mind—
"Oh my god! Which low-level treasure-stealing group has so disrespected the rules of martial virtue that they kidnapped a living person at the Liyue docks?!"
"Now all of Liyue is saying that our treasure-stealing group is stealing people!!! Do you think this sounds good?!"
"*Liyue bird sounds* Don't let me know who this person is! He's really ruining our reputation!"
"You all keep your voices down, is this glorious?"
