The matter was settled.
Jiang Chen would give Osial a good beating when the time came.
"When releasing Osial, make sure to seal it back afterward."
"But this time, when you seal it, don't reinforce it too much."
"Osial might still be useful in the future."
The Vortex God.
Jiang Chen planned to use it for power generation.
Tidal power generation, ever heard of it?
This was an excellent power source.
So it had to be kept.
Hearing Jiang Chen say it could be useful, Zhongli was quite surprised.
What other use could Osial have?
For the moment, Zhongli couldn't figure it out.
But since Jiang Chen said so, there must be a reason.
He'd leave some gaps when sealing it.
With this in mind, Zhongli nodded.
"I understand."
"Although I don't know what you plan to do, I'll leave it as you requested."
This was just a small matter.
He'd hold back a little when the time came.
"Then I'll trouble you with that."
"It'll be quite useful in the future."
Jiang Chen didn't explain too much, only saying it would be useful later.
As for the rest, Jiang Chen didn't elaborate.
Zhongli understood.
They didn't discuss this matter further.
Instead, after chatting for a while, Zhongli asked Jiang Chen about other things.
"What are you planning to do today?"
"You seem to have nothing to do?"
Zhongli sipped his tea while asking Jiang Chen.
Wandering around alone, it seemed like Jiang Chen had nothing to do.
"I plan to wander around and make some friends."
"After all, we're just waiting for the Rite of Descension to begin."
Today's harvest was only Xiangling and Hu Tao.
But that was fine.
After all, it was just the beginning.
He would definitely meet more people later.
Hearing this, Zhongli couldn't help but nod.
"You've just arrived in Liyue, so it's indeed good to make more friends."
"In Liyue, aside from a few people who know you, most don't."
It's always good to know more people.
Once Jiang Chen became the Tianquan, if he needed help with something but couldn't find anyone, it would be troublesome.
Jiang Chen smiled.
He didn't argue with this.
It was indeed a valid point.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen left.
He planned to continue wandering around outside.
As for Zhongli, he would stay here to watch the opera.
Jiang Chen didn't understand opera, so he wasn't very interested.
This time, Jiang Chen didn't pay for Zhongli's bill.
Let the old man figure it out himself!!
However, Jiang Chen's worry was unnecessary.
As he walked out of the private room, Jiang Chen saw someone wearing a scarf in the hot weather approaching.
Wasn't this Zhongli's external wallet, Tartaglia?
When Tartaglia saw Jiang Chen coming out of the private room, he was also stunned.
He had just learned that Zhongli was here and planned to chat with him.
But someone he didn't know came out of the private room?
A friend of Mr. Zhongli?
Curious, he glanced at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen also looked at him.
The two exchanged glances, but Jiang Chen didn't say anything.
After giving this clueless guy a look, Jiang Chen left.
Meanwhile, Tartaglia felt a strong sense of threat from Jiang Chen.
This was a warrior's intuition.
"A strong one!"
Watching Jiang Chen leave, Tartaglia raised an eyebrow.
Mr. Zhongli knew such a strong person?
Thinking of this, he decided to ask Zhongli who that person was.
With this in mind, Tartaglia pushed open the door to the private room and walked in.
"Mr. Zhongli!"
Hearing Tartaglia's voice, Zhongli nodded.
"Take a seat."
The wallet had arrived.
Now it was time to figure out how to complete the task Director Hu had given him.
Just thinking about this made Zhongli sigh.
What a headache.
This task wasn't easy.
"Mr. Zhongli, was that friend who just left your acquaintance?"
"He seemed really strong."
Tartaglia was full of curiosity as he probed for information.
Hearing Tartaglia's words, Zhongli was somewhat surprised.
Had he already set his sights on Jiang Chen?
"He is indeed strong."
"And he will be the next Qixing."
If you want to cause trouble for him, you'd better think twice.
Don't go looking for trouble and end up getting beaten up by him.
That would ruin the plan.
In his plan, Tartaglia played a crucial role.
When Tartaglia heard Zhongli say this, he was also shocked.
The next Qixing?
And he was very strong?
Thinking of this, Tartaglia was truly surprised.
He had never heard of this person before.
Did Liyue really have such a person?
Now, Tartaglia was genuinely curious.
In his investigations, Jiang Chen had never appeared before.
It seemed like he wasn't from Liyue? A powerful Qixing of Liyue?
It seemed like he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
He'd have to be careful.
For now, he wouldn't provoke him.
Although he was a reckless person, he understood that the most important thing now was the Gnosis.
In Mondstadt, La Signora still hadn't found the Anemo Archon.
If he caused trouble in Liyue, he wouldn't be able to find Morax.
The Rite of Descension was about to begin, and he didn't want any complications during this time.
After silently noting Jiang Chen's existence, Tartaglia decided to have someone investigate him thoroughly once he returned.
He'd figure out the situation first.
A person he had never seen before, but who was the next Qixing?
As for Zhongli's words, he didn't doubt them.
After spending some time with Zhongli, he deeply admired this knowledgeable man.
Because he was truly impressive.
Immediately, Tartaglia began discussing other matters with Zhongli.
He didn't say much about Jiang Chen.
The two chatted about various topics while drinking tea and listening to the opera.
There weren't many people who could make Tartaglia listen so obediently.
Right now, Tartaglia was like a primary school student, attentively listening to Zhongli's words.
Jiang Chen had no idea about what was happening here.
At this moment, he was wandering around aimlessly.
He was very curious about everything in Liyue.
From time to time, Jiang Chen would stop and chat with some people.
He wanted to understand the current situation in Liyue better.
By noon, Jiang Chen returned to Wanmin Restaurant for lunch.
It was just the right time for a meal, and Wanmin Restaurant was bustling with activity.
As soon as Jiang Chen entered, he saw the four people already sitting inside.
Guizhong, Havria, Lumine, and Paimon were all there.
Seeing them, Jiang Chen walked over.
They naturally noticed Jiang Chen as well.
"Jiang Chen, where did you go?"
Paimon, seeing Jiang Chen arrive, happily greeted him.
She had already forgotten what happened yesterday.
Now was the time to eat, so why bother with unhappy things?
She had long forgotten about those matters.
Yesterday, she had even said she wouldn't talk to Jiang Chen anymore.
But Paimon claimed she had never said such a thing.
If she didn't behave well now, what if Jiang Chen refused to feed her?
She knew how to prioritize things.
