The reason is simple: the climate conditions are too harsh.
Moreover, monsters will appear from time to time.
If we have to pinpoint a place where problems might occur, then snow-capped mountains are undoubtedly the most likely location.
But here's the problem: can the problems that come out of Xu Guang's mouth be minor issues?
Last time, the other party only needed to say a few words, and the demon god appeared.
Although the final loss was not significant, it left an indelible impression on Keqing's heart.
This time they've come again; it can't be a small matter.
Looking at the smiling corners of the other person's lips, Ke Qing sighed: "Alright, alright, I understand. Just tell me if there's anything else."
Xu Guang took advantage of Amber's inattention, put his hand down and then gently lifted it up.
"Why doesn't the clever Miss Keqing try to guess?"
At this moment, Ke Qing was completely naked, because last night, some things were damaged by the other party because they were in the way.
The moment the other person struck her, she flinched and glared at them, biting her fangs.
"You want more?"
Xu Guang waved his hand: "What are you talking about? Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, so it's reasonable for me to be abstinent whenever I have free time."
Ke Qing rolled her eyes: "Nonsense."
However, she also understood that she couldn't leave now, and since the other party was unwilling to let her go back, there was nothing she could do.
only……
She's making a contribution to Liyue, so Ningguang will surely forgive her for her work-related issues.
At that moment, Ningguang, who was far away in the Skirt Pavilion, sneezed. She rubbed her nose, looked at the documents on the table, and felt relieved.
The other party did not lie to her, nor did they issue any strange regulations.
There was one thing that bothered her: according to the clerk who worked there at the time, the other party had specifically picked out a particular file.
Its owner is Yan Fei.
So what does this mean?
What's the next target to take action against?
Ningguang touched her smooth chin and shook her head.
Oh well, I can't control the other person anyway, as long as they don't go too far.
It's a pity about that young girl, Yan Fei. She remembered her; she was a vibrant and promising rising star in the legal field.
They are passionate about everything.
She had originally thought that the other party might be able to change Liyue's rigid rules.
But now, she can only hope that the other party has good luck.
Speaking of which, when she sneezed just now, was someone thinking of her?
In Mondstadt, the three walked slowly forward, with Xu Guang holding a recruitment notice in his hand.
Ke Qing stared at the other person in confusion, wondering what they were up to.
Seeing the beef offal chef's confused expression, Xu Guang explained, "Since we need to deal with the crisis on the snow mountain, we definitely need to bring in some people. Otherwise, how can we, the three of us, possibly manage?"
Hearing the other party's righteous words, Ke Qing curled her lips.
What does it mean to say whether three people can solve it?
You can do it all by yourself.
They were just accessories.
Can any crisis be greater than the resurgence of the demon god?
Even the usually quiet Amber felt a heavy burden on her shoulders at this moment.
The other party didn't hide it from her, so she knew about it.
Who would have thought there would be such big trouble deep in the snow-capped mountains?
Upon closer examination, Mondstadt has truly suffered many misfortunes this year, first with the eruption of the Abyss, and then with countless monsters invading.
All these things combined made her feel a little sorry for Commander Qin.
Thinking to herself, Amber looked at Xu Guang, feeling that if he were there, she could definitely do it!
Xu Guang, who was walking at the front, was still making revisions, thinking about who to bring this time.
As for the evil dragon Durin, it's not as easy as just accompanying Noelle through the knight's exam. Although he'll protect her from danger, some experienced people are still needed to make it look more formal.
After all, Dulin's current status is merely that of a pet, not even as high as that of the Whirlpool Demon God.
broken.
Xu Guang paused for a moment when he thought of that thing.
It seems I haven't given it to Fufu yet, and it's been a long time since I've visited her. I wonder how she's doing now.
I figured I might as well go and take a look since I'm passing by.
With that thought in mind, the three of them arrived in Mondstadt.
Xu Guang waved the recruitment notice.
"This mission requires an astrologer, an elite knight, and a mercenary. I happen to know them all. Do you want to come with me to find them, or go back and rest?"
Amber spoke first: "I'm fine with anything, I don't have anything to do right now anyway."
Ke Qing nodded and said, "I'm not a local, so I can only follow you. What else can I do?"
Xu Guang shook his head: "You can't say that. If you want to rest, I can help you find a place."
Amber volunteered: "I actually have some spare rooms in my house..."
Ke Qing glanced at the two of them, chuckled, and then moved to stand in front of Xu Guang, standing on tiptoe and biting his neck: "So, do you want me to go or not?"
Xu Guang looked at Amber, who was practically drooling, pinched Ke Qing's cheek, and whispered, "If you want to go, there will be plenty of opportunities. Just come to my place tonight. Now, I'm going to take you to meet some new friends. They are all elites from various countries. Getting to know them will be beneficial."
Ke Qing hummed in agreement and nodded in response.
So the group of them went to the house Mona had rented.
Amber went up and knocked on the door.
She felt that of these people, she was the one who knew Miss Mona the best, so it should be her.
But after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response from inside.
Amber was a little confused: "That's strange, isn't Miss Mona home? Perhaps we should ask the neighbors."
Xu Guang looked at the familiar opening and felt it was somewhat like a side quest, but time was of the essence and the task was heavy, so he didn't want to waste any more time and stepped forward to open the door.
Then I'll go back to what I was saying.
"She is here, but she's not in very good condition right now."
Amber stared blankly at the scene, lost in thought.
She never expected that Mr. Xu Guang would be able to open the door to Miss Mona's house. Could it be that the relationship between the two of them is even better than she thought?
After entering the room, Xu Guang took out a bottle of glucose from his pocket, kicked open the bedroom door, looked at Mona lying on the ground, picked her up, cast a healing spell, pried open her mouth, and poured the glucose down her throat.
Mona slowly woke up, opened her eyes, and looked at the boy in front of her, exclaiming in shock: "How did you get here? Or have you been dead all along?!"
Xu Guang tapped her on the head: "You're not dead, but if I hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't be far from death."
This statement is false.
With the Eye of God, even without eating, one can absorb a small amount of elemental power from the air, so starvation is not an option.
But it will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Chapter 364: Teaching Mona How to Make Money
"Tell me, where did you spend the money this time?"
At this moment, Xu Guang was sitting alone in the room, while everyone else was standing.
Mona, facing him directly, seemed more like a primary school student, hesitatingly saying, "A while ago, I saw a rare, out-of-print alchemy book, and I couldn't resist..."
Xu Guang sighed: "You're even skipping meals for the sake of books, no wonder you've always been so young."
Mona retorted, though her argument was unconvincing: "But once you miss out on a rare book, it's truly gone forever. As for food, you can eat it anytime!"
Xu Guang raised his eyes: "Oh ho, you dare to talk back?"
Meeting the other person's extremely imposing gaze, Mona shrank back.
She felt as if she had returned to her student days and was facing her teacher; the sense of oppression was exactly the same.
"I'm sorry..."
Mona spoke softly, and Xu Guang, seeing her like this, didn't press her any further. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her: "There's 500,000 in here. Go buy some food first. As for how to pay it back, you can come with me on this snow mountain adventure. After all, you are an astrologer."
Mona's eyes lit up as she looked at the card.
Good heavens, 500,000!
How long will it take her to earn it back?
As for going on an adventure in the snow-capped mountains?
I'd do anything, even face mountains of knives!
Mona accepted the card with trepidation, hugged it, and took a deep breath.
"Oh, the smell of money!"
Xu Guang rolled his eyes at the little money-grubber and handed him a note.
"Remember to check this later, it might help you if you're short of money. I have to go now."
After saying that, he led the two away.
Lu Keqing had a bit of a headache: "This is the elite you were talking about?"
Xu Guang smiled and said, "Don't let her appearance fool you. Her water divination skills, while not the strongest, are still quite renowned on the continent. It's just that her hobby is rather peculiar; she likes to collect rare books."
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing slowly nodded.
It seems so; those who are capable often have habits that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Since the other party is so certain, there shouldn't be any problems.
He's just a water fortune teller.
It seems that having Xu Guang, this guy who can predict the future, is actually quite useless.
Meanwhile, Mona, watching everyone leave, opened the note to see what clever strategies the other party might have left her.
But when she saw that line of text, the corner of her mouth twitched.
"What the hell is this? And why do I have to silently chant Xu Guang's name while lying down? Is this some new kind of sleep aid? I can have anything in my dreams?"
However, since the other party is now her sugar daddy, she has to give it a try since he asked her to.
It wouldn't take much time anyway, and there was plenty of money to be made. Xu Guang's decision to keep this wasn't without reason.
According to his observation, when a person's desires are strong, they can not only attract the eye of God, but also his attention, thus entering his dreams.
That's how the very first shadows were.
She longed for eternity, and desperately needed it.
So he came to the dream world, and Xu Guang thought, if there is no need, then can he create one?
Mona thus became the first experimental subject.
If you succeed, you won't lose anything; if you fail, it doesn't matter.
Soon, Xu Guang and the others arrived at the Knights' encampment.
When I knocked on Qin's office door, he very considerately got straight to the point.
"I'd like to borrow Yura for a while. I wonder if it's convenient for you here."
