Chapter 6: Dr. Crumb and the Pretty Boy
Kerr was born in a small village in the southernmost part of the Solstice Country.
The people of the village made a living from hunting, and by the age of 14 he had become the best hunter in the village.
He was born with a keen sense of smell and a flexible body.
Although he is still young, he can catch a lot of money every time he hunts.
Kerr was raised by an old hunter in the village, and although he had no blood relatives in the village, he still regarded the people of the village as relatives.
In this icy land, humanity must learn to unite if it wants to survive.
However, Kerr preferred to go alone, and on the eve of a cold spell, Kerr went hunting alone in the ice fields at night in order to increase the food reserves in the village.
On a vast white ice field, even Kerr, who was very good at searching for prey, returned empty-handed in the ice fog.
But when he returned to the village, he was greeted by a mess and a blood-red land.
A blue-haired man with a black and white mask forcibly implanted some strange steel artifacts into the bodies of the villagers.
"Ah, this group of people really can't do it, the adaptability is too poor, and there is not a single qualified person." The blue-haired masked man scratched his head a little frantically and threw the steel artifact in his hand to his subordinates.
Suddenly, the blue-haired man turned his head, and a pair of scarlet eyes stared at Kerr, who was already Muna, behind the black and white mask, and said the devil's words:
"Yo, there's still one left here, I wonder if you're the [qualified] I'm looking for?
Since then, I don't know how many years have passed, and Kerr, who has been implanted with a semi-mechanical modification device, has stagnated his growth, and has always looked like a teenager.
A few months ago, he escaped from the Doctor's lab and fled to Liyue on the ice field.
Kerr was the failure of the doctor's experiment, at that time the doctor only dared to secretly arrest people for experiments, and without the permission of the ice god, he only dared to secretly arrest some people from remote villages to conduct human experiments.
Due to being one of the first transhumans, although Kerr can use elemental weapons, he will have a strong load on his body, and if the intensity is too high, it will cause a sharp rise in body temperature, which is likely to cause blood vessels to explode.
In Liyue, Kerr slowly opened his eyes on a bed.
"Ah, wake up, wake up, that kid in Baizhu is awake."
"Hmm, it's glaring, where is this?"
Kerr opened his eyes, but was dazzled by the sun outside the window.
A green-haired man with a white snake coiled around his shoulder walked over and smiled, "You're awake, little brother of the reformer." ”
"Uh, are you? Also, why am I still alive? ”
Kerr reflected on his previous situation.
After overloading, he threw his strongest blow and went black and fell unconscious.
"This is Bubulu, and I'm the boss Baizhu here."
Baizhu paused, and looked at Kerr with some curiosity:
"It's you, I've never seen you heal on your own after the blood vessels burst open, and your semi-mechanically modified device should be the equipment of the Fatui, but why did the [Yuheng] of the Seven Stars send you here?"
“………。”
Kerr looked confused and didn't answer, because he didn't know why, and now he was very suspicious that he had reached the afterlife.
………………。
At the docks in Liyue, Nanshuo was in a daze with the sea breeze.
"Eh, I didn't get a job yesterday after a busy day, and although I don't have to eat, I can't stop eating all the time, Mora, Mora...... Where can I get Mora? ”
"If you want Mora, then come to our Northland Bank as an advisor."
Behind Nan Shuo, a sunny-sounding voice said.
Nan Shuo turned his head to see that it was none other than the gold medal thug of the Northland Bank, the strongest toy salesman in the Solstice Country-[Childe] Tartaglia.
In fact, this product has long wanted to contact Nanshuo, and he has been paying attention to Nanshuo since the Li Mo incident, but because the identity of Nanshuo Demon God is not easy to contact, he can only observe.
Later, after reporting it to the Empress, the Empress decreed, "Try not to disturb you." "I just endured it and didn't come to Nanshuo.
But what happened in the Moon Sea Pavilion yesterday made Childe very interested, looking at this unknown demon god who seemed to want to find a job, and was driven away by the Seven Stars, so what are he waiting for if he Tartaglia doesn't come out to pick up the leak at this time?
"Mr. Nanshuo, although it is the first time you and I have met, we have actually crossed paths several times, and the previous news and letters were sent to you by me." Tartaglia said with a smile.
"Ah, is it? Do you really want me to be an advisor to Northland Bank? Nanshuo raised his eyebrows, it would be good if he could sneak into the Northland Bank, after all, in the previous life of Genshin Impact, the prince had the "reputation" of [wallet], and there was also the big treasure chest containing 20w Mora, the financial resources of the Northland Bank were indeed very strong.
"If Mr. Nanshuo is willing, then I am naturally extremely welcome."
"Okay, but since you've dealt with me many times, you know who I am."
When Childe heard this, he felt a little bad in his heart, but he still said:
"The identity of the gentleman, the empress has also explained."
"Well, if you want me to be a consultant, you know the price of being equipped with it ( ̆•ω• ̆)"
Tartaglia's face froze, and his handsome face seemed to say "That's true", but he continued: "If Mr. Nanshuo can become an advisor to my Northland Bank, we will naturally prepare the corresponding price. ”
When Nan Shuo heard this, he showed an evil smile, as if he had become the former Dark Demon God Dao again:
"In that case, my monthly salary will be three times!"
As soon as Nanshuo's words came out, Gongzi was suddenly confused, he was already ready to make something strange or give Nanshuo "a cow and a horse" for a while.
After all, the Fatui were about to make a big move, and it was necessary to bring Nanshuo, the biggest destabilizing factor in Liyue, into their camp before that.
I didn't expect it......
"What, is triple too much? It's not that I'm talking about you, young man, an old man like me who can already be said to be of retirement age, it's already very good that I'm willing to work for you, if you don't give you some subsidies in terms of salary, then you're not sensible. ”
Just when Nan Shuo was about to continue in the afternoon, Childe stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Stop, stop, okay, three times is three times. The monthly salary of our bank consultant is about 30w Mora, can I open 100w for you a month? ”
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Nan Shuo nodded, with a look on his face. But in my heart, I was extremely excited and thought, ", 100w, if I go on like this, I will soon be able to ...... in Yujingtai." Eat Tiger Rock and buy a suite. ”
PS: (The purchasing power of Mora in the game is really messy enough, but it is probably 1:20 when compared to RMB.) Don't take it too seriously. )
"Then it's decided, Mr. Nanshuo, you are now our advisor to the Northland Bank."
Tartaglia turned his head happily and left, not planning to have too much contact with Nanshuo, after all, the empress had an order.
"Ah, wait."
"Uh, anything else?"
"Then I...... What are you going to do? ”
"Ah, I forgot to mention this. Mr. Nanshuo doesn't have anything to do, just help us when we encounter some special situations. ”
"Uh......... That's ...... salary."
"Isn't 100w enough? That 200w? ”
"Damn, I have less feelings. But I'm not trying to say that. Nan Shuo sneered, and then gestured to Gongzi with his eyes.
Childe looked at Nan Shuo's squeezed eyes and was a little puzzled, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted and said, "Ah yes, I forgot to tell Mr. Nan Shuo's salary." You can go to the Northland Bank to receive the salary now, and the salary will be paid on the 15th of each month, of course, Mr. Nanshuo, if you are short of money, you can advance the salary at any time, and I will say hello to the bank staff later. ”
After this incident, Nan Shuo then went to the Northland Bank to receive the month's salary, and hummed a little song to find a place to have fun.
On the bustling streets of Liyue, Nanshuo changed into a blue robe and clutched a folding fan with the words "Wandering in the World" written on it. With his handsome and chic face and slender figure, anyone should praise "What a personable son of the turbid world." ”
Suddenly, Nanshuo, who was looking around, saw Zhongli drinking alone under a tavern.
Nan Shuo stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Li, who was listening to the book, and said, "Eh, isn't this Zhong Li, I haven't seen you like this for a few days." ”
Zhongli's face was still calm, but a few rows of black lines faintly appeared on his forehead and said: "The person who stole other people's names dared to stand in front of the thief in front of the thief, you thief is really arrogant enough." ”
"Eh, eh, don't say that, how boring are you drinking alone, it just so happened that we met by chance today, how about we drink together?"
"As far as the theory of universality is concerned, your proposal is good."
While speaking, Nan Shuo sat opposite Zhongli and called the shopkeeper.
"Little Er, warm a pot of fine Liyue special brew, and a few plates of meat dishes, I'm going to have a good drink with this master today."
"Okay, guest officer"
"You seem happy?" Zhong Li saw Nan Shuo greeting Xiao Er with a smile on his face, and said with some curiosity.
"Hey, hey, I've got a job. 200w mola a month. ”
"Uh, 200w Mora, it doesn't sound like a ...... at first glance"
Nanshuo directly interrupted Zhongli's "spell casting"
picked up the wine on Xiao Er's and poured it for Zhongli.
"Don't say it, I'm having a treat today, so I must have a good drink."
Zhongli's eyes flashed a little different. "Just a few days after the seal was broken, did he integrate into humanity so quickly?"
After drinking and eating, Nan Shuo said drunkly: "Eh, if I guess correctly, you are going to carry the burden." ”
Zhongli on the other side looked as usual, although he had drunk a lot of wine just now, he didn't feel much.
"Oh, how so?"
"Don't think of me as a god who has been worn out for thousands of years, okay?"
Nan Shuo said secretly in his heart: "Of course I know the plot." ”
"The explosion of the Jade Pavilion, although Seven Stars has issued a notice saying that it is the Jade Pavilion's own energy problem. But there are also many people who know that it is me, the demon god, who is causing trouble. ”
"But you didn't say anything and came to me for an informal meeting. Are you going to announce to all Teyvat that the god of the rock is out of business? ”
Zhongli sighed and said quietly: "If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it's a pity that the old man ...... See you again? ”
"I do want to let go of Liyue's Patronus Saint, but if that's not the case, how can I do anything to you? After all, you're one of the few old people I've ever had. ”
