Chapter 302: Another day of voluntary overtime
"I promise you, sister."
Gu Sanqiu hugged Ningguang, resting his chin on her shoulder, and a trace of elemental power began to condense in his mouth.
"I will definitely make more preparations and will never put myself in such a life-and-death crisis again. I swear on the name of the incense burner."
"Now, have a good sleep, sister. If you are tired, have a good sleep."
Feeling sleepy, Ningguang pushed Gu Sanqiu away, a helpless look on her face.
"You little brat..."
Gu Sanqiu picked up Ningguang, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and lit some nourishing and invigorating aromatherapy in the room.
Looking at the sleeping Ningguang, Gu Sanqiu leaned over, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then walked out of the room.
Changing one's destiny is a huge proposition, which also contains great dangers.
People may live their lives with passion, or they may have multiple calculations. Various reasons prompt them to fight for empty and grand propositions.
But looking back at those around them, those who were worried and concerned about them had been left far behind without them realizing it.
Even the distance between life and death.
No matter what your current situation is, the starry sky of Teyvat will always have a place for you.
No matter where you are, always remember that your loved ones are still waiting for you to return home safely in your hometown.
Gu Sanqiu made a few hand seals to eliminate the elemental power remaining in his mouth, then took out his black robe inlaid with gold patterns, stepped on the wind element and flew towards the Qun Yu Pavilion.
"Master Ningguang, you're back... Eh? It's Xiangjun."
Bai Wen walked out of the main pavilion to greet him, and was stunned .
He walked step by step from mid-air onto the deck. The outer robe he wore disappeared into the night, with only a few traces of golden patterns vaguely visible.
In short, he looked weird, very different from the usual Gu Sanqiu who always had a smile on his face, as if a sense of majesty was rising from within.
"It's so late, what are you doing here, Xiangjun?"
"The documents from these few days probably haven't been processed yet."
"Indeed not."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "Go and get me all the backlogged documents, I will handle them. Call the other two to the main pavilion. You will have to work hard tonight."
"yes."
Bai Wen bowed and then ran to inform the other two people, while Gu Sanqiu came to Ningguang's usual office with a familiar look.
"Oh my god, so many?"
Gu Sanqiu's eyelids twitched. There were too many documents piled on the desk.
"Should we call Elder Ganyu over to help?"
Gu Sanqiu thought about it and decided to give up. It would be better to forget about this kind of excessive exploitation of elderly employees. Besides, maybe they are working overtime somewhere now.
"I'll just come here."
Gu Sanqiu took off his outer robe and hung it behind the chair, then picked up his pen and began to review the documents that had been piled up recently.
He has no concerns about his eyesight, otherwise he might look more professional wearing glasses.
"Why did Xiangjun come here suddenly today? And she came just to deal with these squeezed documents."
The three of them whispered to each other cautiously when handing over their work.
"I don't know. This guy seems to be very different today. When he glanced at me, I thought I saw Master Ningguang standing in front of me and giving me orders."
"Don't worry about it. It's probably a private matter between you and Xiangjun. Cooperate with Xiangjun and try to go back to bed early."
A few hours later, Gu Sanqiu glanced at the three secretaries lying on their workstations, and each of them threw a bottle of nourishing pills on the table.
As long as she rests and takes the pills and has a good sleep, she will be fine. He doesn't need to carry her back to the room like he did with Ningguang.
"I'm so tired. It's really uncomfortable to have several days' work piled up in a few hours. I almost vomited after reading the documents."
Gu Sanqiu lit up a cigarette. This was the first time he lit up a cigarette in the Qun Yu Pavilion without Ningguang's consent. It must be said that this was a great step forward on the road to death.
Walking to the edge of the deck, Gu Sanqiu looked down at the Liyue Harbor where the lights were still bright, and his mind couldn't help but fly far away.
"If the Jade Pavilion really falls in the future, we won't be able to see such a scene for a while."
Gu Sanqiu raised his head and looked higher up: "It's a bit interesting, but it's not something to be afraid of. Even if we have to deal with people, we will start from the big ones to the small ones."
This is different from dealing with corrupt officials from a young age to prevent them from becoming desperate and doing something desperate.
The person who wants to heal this world possesses a higher level of power. In any case, it is impossible for him to be defeated in a short period of time.
"Are you racing against time? How come you suddenly jump into such a high-level plot?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "But at least it's interesting. If I really succeed, there will be something to record in the family history books in the future. It will definitely take up a large space."
…
"Xiang Jun? How come you have time to come to our secret vault today?"
When Gu Fei saw Gu Sanqiu, his eyes were filled with shock. His expression was as if Gu Sanqiu saw an old man paying the money in person instead of writing the bill.
"I can't come? That's not the way to say you have a problem with me."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand to signal Gu Fei to lead the way: "How is the imitation of that thing going?"
"Hey, Xiangjun, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. This thing is considered confidential here."
Gu Fei looked around cautiously.
"Let me answer Xiangjun's first question first. You used to be a little afraid of our secret vault. The frequency of your visits here these two times is indeed not normal."
"As for the second one..."
Gu Fei opened a door through a series of complex code operations.
“It’s still going smoothly.”
Gu Sanqiu looked at the instrument in front of him, which was shabby but still looked majestic through its patterns and style.
"How far have you copied it?"
"We still don't quite understand the structure of energy operation, but we have made some breakthroughs now. We expect to see initial results in a month or two."
"One or two months, it is indeed a breakthrough."
Gu Sanqiu asked: "So what about the material of the bow and crossbow?"
Gu Fei explained: "According to the classics and relevant technical records that you gave us, Xiangjun, there should be two models of the Guizhong Machine. One is directly activated by elemental force, using elemental force as arrows."
"The second method is more complicated. It is to forge arrows to increase their lethality. Basically, it means to make arrows as magic weapons."
"According to our preliminary estimates, the cost is not very high, but unimaginably high, and is completely unsupportable for our use in conventional warfare."
Gu Fei had a blank expression on his face: "We purchased a high-precision metal formula from Fontaine, and we plan to combine it with ancient books to see if we can come up with some innovations. This is another expense."
"Another point is that even if the imitation is successful, it will still be inferior to the original return machine in terms of power."
"Don't tell me that if you don't have money, go find the Seven Stars. The most I can do is provide you with some more records in the classics."
"Don't worry about the power. I want to copy it just to expand our military and give our Liyue soldiers more things to save their lives."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand and said, "You have to hurry up and copy any model as soon as possible. Anyway, we have no shortage of people in Liyue, so any model can be used. It is very important to arm the Qianyan Army."
Gu Fei looked worried: "Xiang Jun, from what you said, are we going to have a war?"
"It's not that a war is about to start, but that a lot of strange guys have been preparing for war all along."
Gu Sanqiu patted Gu Fei on the shoulder and said, "Everyone is preparing for various wars. Liyue cannot fall behind in such a place."
"If anyone dares to cause trouble for us, we must beat them back severely!"
