Chapter 20: Of course it’s about putting on a sack!
"I?"
"Of course I came back to——"
Ming Chong patted the squirming sack, and it immediately stopped moving. He put away his smile, raised his head, and raised an eyebrow:
"Give an explanation to those who follow me."
He really seemed to have some of the aura of the God of Thieves, making the meaning behind Ming Chong's behavior difficult to grasp.
The sudden change made A Jiang stand in awe. "I understand, Boss. I'll make the arrangements now."
?
Ming Chong looked at A Jiang's decisive back and slowly asked a question.
What are you doing?
—What do you understand? Tell me!
—No! I don’t think you understand!

…
My name is Zhiyi, an ordinary person living in Liyue Harbor. I finally found a kind and knowledgeable mentor, thinking my life had finally turned around and was on the right track. But I never expected to be kidnapped in public...
"Name."
"Knowing the easy."
"gender."
"……male."
Zhiyi sat on the chair, observing the people above and around him in a calm manner.
"Where are you from?"
"Liyue Harbor eats Tiger Rock."
"Do you know where this is?"
"...I don't know." In fact, he knew. He had already guessed it when he smelled the fragrance of rice. Although it was a little unbelievable, in just a few minutes, he arrived at Qingce Village from Liyue Harbor, which took three days of continuous travel to reach!
However, no matter how hard it was to imagine, this was still the truth. He simply couldn't imagine how powerful these people were! However, facing a group of people whose background he didn't know, Zhiyi didn't dare to reveal too much.
After answering this question, Zhiyi keenly noticed that the eyes of the people around him became subtle.
Some of them had a malicious connotation. Of course, there were also surprises.
"The smell of lies." Ah Jiang, who had also triggered the "truth", stared at him expressionlessly, "You really are very capable."
Kritov abandoned the alchemy table with great interest and came to watch the joke. This Zhiyi would definitely be a big shot in the future, so it was better to take advantage of this opportunity to watch the joke. "No wonder you are valued by the adults."
"Since you know where this place is, you can surely tell who we are, right?"
"...You are a group of treasure hunters." Zhiyi had to be honest to avoid being targeted. "But why are you looking for me?"
Some of the people around couldn't help but look at Ming Chong who was sitting at the top. Zhiyi certainly didn't ignore this. He was also trying to guess the identity of this young man.
In fact, Ming Chong, who was stared at, was already dumbfounded. It was thanks to the environment that he was able to create an unfathomable temperament.
Plus the title of the ending CG that I didn’t have time to watch before——
Title: Day and Tyrant
"Lord, ever right, ever marching forward, seas of fog, thunderstorms, eternal night... how could you stand still? Not even death can stop you! We await your return."
Title Effect: You are a philanthropic human, a rebellious hero, and a ruthless ruler... Under you, all beings are equal. Wearing this title grants the effects of "Existence" and "Personality."
"Existence" allows the wearer to perfectly preserve consciousness through the carrier. Wherever the eyes look and the power reaches, "Existence" will descend.
"Personality" allows the wearer to transcend limitations, free from the interference of fate and the prying eyes of prophecy. This characteristic already accommodates "rebellion."
"The current title has been automatically worn."
When Ming Chong was stunned and distracted, he finally understood what this "New Wind Field" mark was, which combined "truth" and "personhood".
It’s not as simple as 1+1=2.
He thought about publishing a textbook specifically for studying this, and even thought of a name: "Theory of Advanced Title Effect Reaction."
But none of this matters. What matters is—
How can this person who carries the label of "genius" also have the label of "breaking bad"?!
Is he Jia Xu? !
...Or is it Zhao Guangyi?
After all, aren't those marked as "New Wind Field" people who complement him?! Look at this guy, he's so cunning he's almost turning into a black coal ball. Could it be that Ming Chong is someone who lacks cunning?!
He finally understood that when a person is speechless to a certain extent, he will have the expression he has now.
In that case, it would be a shame to let down the noble aura that these brothers have created for him.
All effects at maximum power on, on, on!!!
And this—
Gray filter!
Ming Chong's upper face was shrouded in shadow. He revealed the "truth" and was about to speak in a pretentiously profound manner:
"Zhi Yi..."
The next second I saw the character log, I couldn't hold it in anymore.
The early death of parents, huge debts,
A hopeless life, and a broken him.
——He is so pitiful, he can still work hard to live like this. If it were me, I would have given up long ago.
——If you can live, live; if you can’t, die.
——But…as for Breaking Bad…let’s get a sample first.
The moment Ming Chong opened his mouth, the atmosphere around them became somewhat tense. Zhiyi was also somewhat affected, leaning stiffly against the chair.
"I admire you."
"So, here's something for you to do."
"Let me do it?" Zhiyi was a little confused about his intentions, but it would be unwise for him to refuse on someone else's territory at this time. "...What is it?"
A Jiang couldn't help but look at Ming Chong.
Ping Pong Zero——
A Tibetan silver crow seal fell on the table with a crisp sound. Ming Chong played with it for a while and threw it to Zhiyi.
"Ajiang, teach him how to use it."
Zhiyi caught it in a hurry and looked cautiously at Ajiang who was approaching him, but he couldn't think of anything for a while, so he could only do as he was told.
While Zhiyi was learning the basics, Ming Chong continued, "Tomorrow our Treasure Hunting Group will discuss cooperation with the people from the Liyue Seven Stars. Zhiyi, you must treat them well!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird.
A Jiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the looks of the people around him when they looked at Zhiyi also changed.
Gulp!
Facing such gazes, Zhiyi, feeling uneasy, swallowed hard. He felt that facing these powerful and collusive treasure-stealing gangs that had amassed immense power, he could only help them do their work.
However, these have nothing to do with Ming Chong who left after saying that.
All he could think about at the moment was—what a close call! He still had a Crow Seal in his pocket, otherwise he would have lost the last glittering Golden Crow Seal!
——
——
The next day.
"Well, this is the end of the cooperation terms between Liyue officials and the treasure-stealing group. Happy cooperation." Ye Lan nodded slightly, picked up her document and left.
After being watched in turns by the treasure-stealing group and using the ice hook juice "friendly provided" by a certain alchemist, Zhiyi stayed up all night to understand and digest the information related to the revised treasure-stealing group. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair tiredly.
Ningguang took a sip of tea. "A Chong, I can't believe you've found such a talented person so soon after leaving the Woodcutter's Valley. I was a little worried... no, I thought I could get a great deal!"
“Hehehe——”
Erha Smirk.jpg
Just as Zhiyi was pretending to be dead and resting while eavesdropping on the news, a loud commotion was heard outside the house.
Bai Xiao hurried in with an indescribable complex emotion on his face.
"What happened, Baixiao?" Ningguang frowned and put down the teacup.
"Lord Ningguang——"
"Let me, an old guy, explain it! Ningguang." A strong and old male voice pushed the door open with the sound of footsteps.
"...Uncle Tian?" Ningguang didn't show it on her face. She looked at Ye Lan behind Uncle Tian and received a subtle reminder.
“…Uncle Tian?!” Zhiyi sat up straight in shock, suddenly realizing that the development of things was somewhat unexpected.
"Zhiyi, are you okay?" Uncle Tian walked over slowly and patted his shoulder. Zhiyi shook his head slightly.
"Ningguang, I wonder what's the matter with you bringing this disciple I've chosen here? Why didn't you tell me first before taking him away?"
"This..." Ningguang was a little confused. Soon Baixiao leaned close to her ear and told her about the kidnapping incident at the dock last night.
“…”
Ming Chong looked around with great interest, until Ningguang, Zhiyi, and the others all turned their eyes to him.
"Why are you looking at me? Go on! Talk more, I love to listen, I love to watch!"
Ningguang resisted the urge to hold her forehead. "A Chong, let me ask you, how did you get this talent?"
"Put it in a sack!" He spoke confidently, describing the crime last night in vivid detail. "As soon as I separated from you yesterday, I was thinking about who to talk to you about. Unfortunately, although our treasure-stealing team is full of talented people, we don't have anyone in this area!"
"But there's nothing I can do! I need it urgently the next day! I had to look for it in Liyue Harbor. Last night, from a distance, I saw someone walking by the docks...
This guy was as cunning as a coal ball, so I decided it was him! I quickly grabbed a sack and put it over his head. Hey! Then I finally convinced him with all my might.
Zhiyi: ...
The room fell into silence.
"By the way, Ningguang, you haven't told me who this old man is!" Ming Chong showed an expression of watching the fun again.
"Young man, you seem quite capable to be able to discuss things with Ningguang, but you're too reckless when it comes to things.
"I may be untalented, but I am one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Tianshu. You kidnapped my student right under my nose, so I've come here to demand an explanation." Uncle Tian could tell Ming Chong was looking for someone to discuss something, so he reluctantly sat down to chat.
After all, this time Zhiyi can also accumulate some rare experience. Of course, Uncle Tian doesn’t know how much experience it is.
——The teacher is...Tianshuxing?!
Zhiyi's expression was filled with shock, because before this, he had only thought that his teacher was a commoner, who at most had a daughter who worked at Yuehai Pavilion.
Ming Chong rocked his chair back and forth, thinking for a moment. "Oh... Ningguang is from Tianquan Star, Tianshu Star... So you're one of the Seven Stars of Liyue! Wow! As expected of me, I chose a disciple from Tianshu Star right away!"
Ningguang drank a cup of tea in silence. She finally understood why the identities of the talents under Mingchong always needed to be checked.
emotion……
I just grabbed them randomly!
