Genshin Impact: I am a Puppet Master

As soon as he returned to the hall, Qingliu's indifferent voice reached Columbia's ears.

"What does he want from me?"

"You're here, nothing much to do, just dealing with the monsters on the edge of the city."

"Oh? I guess Piero wants me to quickly establish my prestige here, what do you think?"

"Um............"

Anyone can see that Piero wants Qingliu to quickly establish his prestige in Zhidong. This is a country where the strong are respected, and Qingliu's direct parachuting as an executive officer will naturally not convince everyone.

After taking a sip of the tea on the table, Qingliu said slowly, "Although I don't want to go, I have to give our commander some face. It will be more convenient for us to travel in Zhidong. Please help me call the scattered soldiers and ask them to bring the distribution map of Zhidong to find me later."

As he spoke, Qingliu had already walked towards the gate.

"Of course I can do that. It's just that I haven't seen you smile for a long time, brother Qingliu. I heard that when you were an Oiran in Liyue, many rich people spent a lot of money just to make you smile. It just so happens that I have a lot of Mora, I wonder if I can buy you a smile~"

The sound behind him made Qingliu pause, and he opened his mouth but no sound came out.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. I don't want to buy a fake smile like Pantalone's. That would be a big loss. Go and get busy first."

"Um........"

Knock on the door of Piero the Harlequin's office

"come in"

Walking into the office, there was no one inside except the clown Piero, and there was already brewed tea on the table.

Noticing Qingliu's gaze, Piero smiled and said, "I heard that people in Liyue are used to drinking tea. I was afraid that you would get used to drinking tea after staying there for too long, so I asked a rich man to bring some high-quality tea leaves."

"I don't like to talk about other topics before getting down to business"

Piero sighed and poured the tea from the teapot into two cups before slowly saying, "Sit down and talk. The recent infestation of monsters around the city is the best time for you to return to Winter to establish your prestige. I think with your brain you can naturally think that this matter is beneficial to you and you have no reason to refuse."

"Leave the monster cleanup to me. As for drinking tea, there's no need. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Qingliu turned around and prepared to leave.

Looking at Qingliu's back, Piero shook his head slightly and called Qingliu helplessly in a low voice, "Wait, this is the badge representing the identity of the executive officer. I just asked someone to make it this morning."

Qingliu took the black badge and left without saying anything.

The clear stream on the street immediately noticed Scaramucci, a straggler who was out of tune with the crowd.

"Very punctual, I am very satisfied"

Hearing this, Sanbing spread his hands and a scroll appeared. "What you want, I got the electronic projection version from the doctor."

The puppet took the scroll and Qingliu raised his eyebrows. "Very good. I heard that you have a lot of contact with the doctor. Tell me about him. The way he looks at me makes me feel disgusted, but I can feel that he is not easy to kill."

Frowning, Sanbing said helplessly, "Dotore, that damn blue-haired guy has an almost insane obsession with his messy research, or he is just a lunatic who will do anything to achieve his goals. Oh, yes, his slices are worth mentioning."

"slice?"

"Yes, it's slices. Every year he would make slices of himself in that year to record himself in that year. These slices are living beings with self-awareness, so it can be said that those slices are Dortore. He redefined the concept of life, and the one we usually see is the most evil of all the slices."

Listening to Soldier Scaramucci's story, Qingliu couldn't help but feel interested in Dr. Dottore. "So Dr. Dottore and I have similar personalities. We are both immersed in our own worlds, and we are both willing to do anything to achieve our goals."

Qingliu's words seemed to be spoken to himself, but Sanbing still heard every word clearly, muttering to himself, "Same madman."

"By the way, actor, why do you want this map?"

"Well, Piero asked me to clear out the monsters on the edge of the city. I plan to clear out all the monsters in the winter territory overnight and quickly establish my prestige here."

The scattered soldier was shocked by Qingliu's words. After a pause, he said in disbelief, "One night? How is that possible? With the winter season approaching, it's too late to clear all the monsters in the territory, no matter how powerful they are. It would take several months just to travel back and forth using elemental power. It's impossible to even clear the borders, let alone the entire territory."

What responded to Sanbing was Qingliu's chuckle. His smile was very beautiful, just like the warmth brought by the warm winter sun. Sanbing asked himself if he was a human girl, he would probably fall for it.

After laughing for a while, Qingliu stretched out his white hand and spread it in front of Sanbing. "Do you know this?"

Just as he was about to ask something, he saw the space on the open palm in front of him being squeezed, shrunk, and repaired, and finally turned into a small black hole.

“Space… Space force?!!!”
