Genshin Impact: Quietly Investing for Six Thousand Years

evening.

Two carriages slowly entered a small town with smoke rising from chimneys. A sign on the side of the road read "Qingquan Town".

The roads on both sides were too narrow, and it was difficult for the carriage to move smoothly.

Forcing people to ride in the carriage might make them feel bumpy. After weighing the pros and cons, the carriage slowly stopped by the roadside.

"Mr. Chen Mo, we have arrived at Qingquan Town." said the coachman.

Chen Mo walked down with Qin and said, "The road inside is not easy to walk on, so be careful."

Not far away, there is a huge windmill building, its blades slowly turning in the evening breeze.

"Yes." The coachman carefully drove the carriage forward slowly.

"Why are we here?" Diluk and Kaeya came over, looking confused.

"Monsters appear more frequently at night. Let's stay here for one night and go back tomorrow." Chen Mo explained with a smile.

Qin lowered her head, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Chen Mo led the three kids into Qingquan Town, where intricate houses were located on the stone slopes.

Smoke was coming out of the chimneys on the roofs of every household, and the whole town was filled with the aroma of cooking.

There was a quarrel ahead, and the sound of a man crying.

Chen Mo was stunned. The people of Qingquan Town are simple and honest. Isn’t the culture the best in Mondstadt?

As I got closer, I saw a man lying on the ground, with a woman of noble temperament and a black and red shawl draped behind her standing next to him.

Miss?

Chen Mo was stunned. Why was she here?

"There is no law! This woman broke my 'holy water' and refused to compensate me. I said nothing, but she beat me up like this. Everyone, please help me judge. Is this possible?"

The man was lying on the ground wailing, and the people around him were all looking indignant.

There was a broken bottle on the ground.

"Humph! You are unworthy of asking me to compensate you!" The lady sneered.

"How can you talk like that? You broke someone else's things and didn't pay for them. You think you're right?"

Someone in the crowd spoke up.

The lady hugged her chest, still looking superior.

In her opinion, these people are all troublemakers and are not worth worrying about.

Chen Mo shook his head. The lady still looked the same, not changed at all.

"What an attitude you have!"

"Notify the Knights, someone here beat someone up and refused to pay!"

"Surround her and don't let her get away!"

For a moment, the crowd surged.

"Let me pay for it, you guys..." The lady was about to sneer when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

"Let him pay for it. He has all my money."

Following the direction the lady pointed, the crowd slowly made way.

Chen Mo pulled Qin and others aside, but he saw the lady pointing at him and his face turned strange.

"These are some of my students, the two young masters of the Lakenfinny family and the eldest daughter of Gunhild." Chen Mo stretched out his hand to introduce them.

"We don't know her."

The lady's face froze. I haven't seen you for just a short while, and you don't recognize me.

Hearing these two names, the hunters present were slightly stunned and looked at Chen Mo, "How do you prove it?"

Jean and Diluk and Kaeya took out their family medals, which could not be faked.

The crowd gathered around the lady and continued to accuse her, even the hunters looked at her unfriendly.

After Chen Mo and his companions left, Qin had a strange expression on her face and kept glancing at Chen Mo from time to time.

Chen Mo reluctantly grabbed her golden ponytail and lifted it up, "Do I look like a big enemy?"

Qin shook her head, and the groom came over to meet her. They found some nice houses.

Finally, Chen Mo chose a few houses close to the stone wall and rented them out to an old lady. The price was reasonable, so he paid a deposit.

The hunters also said goodbye, and before leaving, they told them to just call if they needed anything.

Chen Mo readily agreed and took out the dragon meat he had prepared in advance from his portable cave, as well as a barbecue rack, a small stool, and some seasonings, planning to do some barbecue.

"What kind of meat is this? Such a big piece!" Diluk looked at the huge piece of meat in front of him with surprise.

"Master, what kind of meat is this?" Kaiya turned his head and looked at the busy Master Chen.

"Dragon meat." Chen Mo replied casually.

Diluk rolled his eyes and said, "What a boast!"

Chen Mo cut the meat into pieces, and the two men skewered the meat, then were soon sent out by Chen Mo to find charcoal.

Qin Momo came to Chen Mo's side, stretched out her little hand, and grabbed Chen Mo's arm, "You are not hurt, are you?"

The soft voice was filled with worry.

"Of course it's okay." Chen Mo said with a smile.

I added in my mind, I didn’t hunt it.

beep...

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Chen Mo was a little "surprised" with a smile in his eyes.

"You're back so soon."

The lady didn't look too happy, she had just paid an IOU of 30,000 Mora.

Only then did this group of unruly people let her go.

If Chen Mo wasn't here, it would be inconvenient to do it...

"Why……"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mo said, "We are just chess friends. We have no obligation to help you pay."

Thinking that their relationship was not that close, the lady looked embarrassed.

He pretended to be calm and walked over. When he saw the piece of meat on the chopping board, he asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

Qin said seriously: "Dragon meat."

Hearing this, the lady looked at Chen Mo in surprise, but saw that he rolled his eyes and had no intention of paying any attention to her.

The anger in my heart rose inexplicably, the temperature around me also rose, and I turned around and was about to leave.

Chen Mo felt the rising temperature, paused, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

"I'll take you to see the truth about that 'holy water' tonight." Chen Mo rubbed Qin's little head.

The lady paused, her pretty face full of struggle. This was the greatest humiliation she had ever experienced in her life, and she was unable to vent her anger.

Exhaling, the majestic figure trembled several times, and the lady turned around and looked at Chen Mo, "What is the truth?"

"Ah? We can't go until we have dinner."

"Then eat quickly!"

"But we have no fire!"

"..." The lady's pretty face flushed, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm angry, I'll do it!"

"Oh! That's too embarrassing." Chen Mo quickly moved aside and gave the barbecue grill to the lady.

The lady took a few deep breaths again, came to Chen Mo's position, and looked at the small stool.

After some thought, I decided to stand.

Chen Mo brought over some meat and vegetable skewers, "It's on fire."

"Don't make the flame too big."

"Are you stupid? You're confused again!"

"Can you make the fire a little smaller?"

……

Qin ate the skewers and watched the lady's face change from murderous rage to numbness.

I can't help but sigh that the skewers are so delicious.

Diluk and his companion came back with the charcoal and found that it had already been eaten. They couldn't help but complain about... Qiqi.

Why didn't you call him back earlier?

Qin ate the skewers and silently took out the West Wind Sword.

Diluk and Kaeya immediately turned into a flow waiter.

He shouted, "Senior Sister, you are really good at judging people! I am only suitable for serving others."

The lady controlled the fire with one hand and held the skewer with the other, biting it hard, which was truly brutal.

Every time he took a bite, he would look at Chen Mo, as if the skewer of meat in his hand was Chen Mo’s meat.

Chen Mo was frightened by what he saw and quietly moved away.

At night, Diluk and Kaeya were in charge of cleaning, while Chen Mo brought the lady and Qin to a spring.

"What are you doing here?" The lady turned her head to look at Chen Mo, with a little oil stain on the corner of her mouth.

"Look in the mirror." Chen Mo crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows.

The lady walked to the spring with half belief and half doubt. After seeing clearly, she wiped the corners of her mouth quickly.

Chen Mo's expression changed, and the three of them immediately hid in the darkness.

"Shh, don't talk."

After a while, a figure came over stealthily, with an obscene smile on his face, "What a fool with a lot of money, I really made a lot of money this time. I, Hopkins, am indeed the smartest person in Teyvat, hehehe..."

He walked to the spring and saw that there was no one around, so he took out a few bottles from his arms and filled them with spring water.

Seeing this scene, the lady's eyes were filled with anger and she rushed out directly, but was stopped by Chen Mo who grabbed her wrist.

"give it to me!"

Chen Mo smiled confidently and walked out.

He patted Hopkins gently as he was daydreaming.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!... Huh... Huh... I'm scared to death!" Hopkins stood up in panic.

The bottle in his hand also fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Ah... that is, I, I am feeling the revelation from the God of the Spring!" Hopkins' eyes rolled and his tone seemed to be weak.

"Just stay away and don't bother me."

As he said this, he was about to push Chen Mo, but his sword went straight through Chen Mo's chest.

"Why are you picking my chest?"

"Do you want to be like me?"

The voice was so faint that it seemed to come from an extremely cold purgatory. Hopkins froze all over and slowly turned his head to look at the arm that passed through his body.

Fear appeared in his eyes and his whole body began to tremble.

"Ghost!"

He tried to pull it out quickly, but found that his arm seemed to be stuck inside and could not be pulled out.

"Do you want to be like me?"

"You're here to take my place, right?"

Every word struck Hopkins straight to his heart, and he wanted to faint.

But I found that my mind was exceptionally clear and the fear in my heart was growing.

"No, no..."

"You use my name to make money, but you don't even give me a Mora. I will drag you back to Purgatory..."

The last sentence was so harsh and sharp that Hopkins fell to his knees, slapped himself in the face madly, and burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, I offer my tribute, I offer my tribute..."

Chen Mo looked at the lady and blinked. Are you satisfied?

The lady in the dark let out a sigh, a look of satisfaction in her eyes, and her red lips slightly parted, "Let him apologize to me."

Chen Mo raised a finger and the lady nodded. It is better to have too many debts than to be a burden. She already owed two, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

Having received another debt, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction and looked at Hopkins.

"Do you want me to cling to you forever? Or do you want me to help me leave Purgatory..."

Hopkins nodded frantically, "I will definitely help Master Ghost leave Purgatory!"

"From now on, you have to do good things in my name and apologize for the wrong things you did in the past, so that I can leave Purgatory..."

"I understand, I understand. I will definitely do good things and make sure you leave Purgatory..."

"If you send me back to purgatory again, I will keep pestering you, forever!!!"

Chen Mo's fingers shot out a wave of energy, knocking him unconscious. At the same time, another debt mark formed on his hand.

The lady walked out of the darkness and glanced at him. "He got it for free."

Chen Mo looked at Qin and winked at her. I hope I didn’t break your oath to protect Mondstadt forever.

Qin felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Chen Mo still thought of her.

It is indeed much better to teach people to be good than to eliminate them directly.

"Let's go back to Mondstadt tomorrow. The Windblume Festival is coming soon."

The bright moon casts cold light, and the calm spring water is shimmering with a layer of faint light.

Beside the spring, a good man who later called himself "Ghost Messenger" was born...
