Chapter 680: Missing Commission, Comparative Heart, Kunjun

"Jiang Yi, Ying, Paimeng." Catherine greeted them in a very friendly manner, "Are you here to see the new commission?"

"Yes!" Paimon crossed his arms and said, "Catherine, please give Mora's highest commission to us."

Catherine smiled and said, "I think this urgent job is more suitable for two great heroes."

Jiang Yi and Ying are not picky and don't care about any commission.

Seeing that the two did not refuse, Catherine quickly said, "Old Dai is one of the foremen of Huishan Hall in Liyue Port. He hopes that the Adventurer's Association can send a few people to him to help him search for the missing workers in the mining area."

Huishan Hall is one of the Eight Gates of Liyue and controls the mining industry.

"Finding someone? That's easy!" Paimeng's eyes sparkled, and he saw the reward waving at him. "For Jiang Yi, who has learned the art of divination, this is a piece of cake."

"By the way, fortune-telling requires birth data or some items that were with the missing person, right?"

Catherine said, "If you want to know the missing person's date of birth and his belongings, go talk to Old Dai near the dock! I don't have that information or items here."

"You two have officially accepted this commission, right?"

Ying nodded.

Catherine wrote down the two names according to the procedure.

Jiang Yi pinched his fingers. After hearing the word "looking for someone", his whole brain started working and he began to trace his memories.

Finally, it is frozen in one picture.

"It seems that there is another battle waiting for me before I go to Inazuma."

The blood in my body seemed to be boiling and I seemed to hear the roar of a violent dragon in my ears.

"Jueyunjian..."

Gazing at the blessed land of immortals from afar, can Master and the others sense it?

He Ying came to the dock.

Lao Dai is a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a tough face, his body covered with calluses.

Jiang Yi and Ying explained their purpose.

"Are you the adventurers sent by the association?" Old Dai glanced at Ying, then looked at Jiang Yi, "Flying Sword Master, Playboy? Mr. Jiang Yi."

Jiang Yi frowned. What's your other nickname? What playboy?

Ying was stunned and quickly covered her mouth to hold back her laughter.

"Is this famous and infamous?" Paimon spread his hands.

"Oh! Don't get me wrong! I didn't give you this nickname." Old Dai explained, "I just heard someone who reads the Fontaine Steam Bird call you that."

Jiang Yi now really wants to take the sword to Fontaine and directly destroy the Steambird Newspaper in the world.

"Ah! Calm down, calm down. After all, what the other party said is true, isn't it?" Paimeng saw that Jiang Yi's eyes became sharp and hurried to persuade him.

"Paimon, stop adding fuel to the fire." Ying tried hard to hold back his laughter as he tried to stop Paimon.

"I didn't!" Paimon said halfway and his voice faded away.

"Ahem!" Old Dai hugged his chest. "I heard that the Flying Sword Master is a very capable person. He can fly, hide underground, tell fortunes, and draw talismans. He is capable of everything."

"And this lady, you are the traveler, right? I have seen your appearance in the poster of the Southern Cross Fighting Association on the wall."

"With the help of two heroes who saved Liyue, it seems that finding someone is almost certain this time."

"However, I have also invited a helper, who will be here soon. Let's go together."

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said, "Why do we need help? Uncle, are you looking down on us?"

"No, no." Old Dai waved his hand and said, "In our line of work, we have to do appraisals. It's the same with stones and people. I can tell at a glance what kind of people they are. The two heroes are very capable, and they have been verified by many parties. How could I underestimate them?"

"However, you may not know that this incident happened in a mining area, and it is a bit bizarre." He said slowly, "Mining areas are always prone to accidents. If we want to go deep into the mining area to look for someone, we'd better find an expert who knows the business, just in case."

"Your strength is unquestionable, but your main business is not mineral identification or geological analysis. If an accident happens deep in the earth, even the strongest people will get hurt! Or if you take the wrong path and delay saving lives, that's not good either."

"With an expert by your side, everything can be taken care of easily."

Old Dai said earnestly.

According to his information, earthquakes have been occurring frequently in the mining area since the beginning of the year, and the frequency is increasing.

How can we dare to look for people without a geological expert?

He nags, "Moreover, the helper I found is a top expert. No matter what kind of stone it is, he can tell it almost exactly with just one look! When it was formed, how it was formed, and what major disasters happened in the area around the stone. He can tell everything."

"Isn't that amazing? If we go into the mines to look for someone, we'll have to ask him which mines are strong and which ones are not suitable for people to walk through."

"Let me tell you, he is the person who knows the best about stones in the world! If you meet such an expert, why don't you invite him over as soon as possible?"

Jiang Yi said: "Do you know the names of the missing people and the clothes they usually wear? Or do you know their birth dates? I can use divination to calculate it. Maybe they didn't go deep into the mine, but disappeared outside?"

Paimon shouted, "No, no, how could you find the person who knows the most about stones in the world? That person should be our friend!"

Ying was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Is this the focus? Paimon is so competitive today."

"Ah!" Old Dai was speechless for a moment. "Okay, come one by one. As for what Master Jiang Yi said, I can only provide the names of the missing persons. I don't know their birth dates, and I don't have their clothes."

"That's fine." Jiang Yi said, "Since it's a mining area, once we get to the destination, we might be able to find fibers from their clothes on the sharp rocks."

"Okay then." Old Dai nodded, then looked at Paimeng and said unconvincedly, "You said your friend knows more about stones than the helpers I found, so why don't you bring him over? It's just right. One more person means one more help. If we go together, we can help each other and compete with each other."

Old Dai won't tolerate being questioned about his vision.

Paimeng waved his hand and said, "Hehe, there are always people who are better than you! You wait here, I will bring him here soon!"

Ying looked at Paimon helplessly.

It's obvious who Paimon is talking about.

Jiang Yi looked up: "Zhongli is listening to the book at Sanwan Guoguogang."

Given the distance between the pier and Chihu Rock, it would be easy for him to find someone there.

"I'll wait here!" he said, "to learn more about the missing person and prepare for the divination."

"Okay!" Ying nodded, and quickly ran up the stairs at the dock, heading for Sanwan Port.

"We talked about it last time, Emperor Rock King..." The storyteller Tian Tiezui in the restaurant was fanning himself with a paper fan as he told the legend.

Zhongli sat in a chair and drank tea slowly and leisurely.

"You two seem to be in good spirits. The Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin. Why don't you come here to listen to people reading books?" He looked at Ying and Paimeng.

Beidou’s posters were posted on every street corner of Chihuyan, and everyone who came here could know the news about Ying and Jiang Yi.

"No, no! We are here to find you. Are you free now?" Paimon looked at Zhongli expectantly.

"There is time." Zhongli said leisurely.

He always had plenty of time.

"It's like this..." Ying quickly explained what happened, "The commission we received requires someone who understands geology and ores to go to the mining area with us."

Paimon sighed, "Although I think it's completely unnecessary with Jiang Yi here, but since the client asked us to do so, we can only do it. After all, he still underestimates us. In this case, we will crush his helpers in all aspects."

She said confidently: "Looking at the entire continent, is there anyone who knows more about geology and minerals than you? I want to prove to him that you are the expert on stones in Teyvat."

Zhongli put down the teacup and asked inexplicably, "Geology and minerals... Where does this unreasonable desire to compare come from?"

Paimeng was slightly embarrassed and waved his hands, saying, "I'm not comparing myself to others. I just think he doesn't know much and want to let him see it. There are always people better than you..."

Being interrupted from drinking tea and listening to a book, Zhongli said as he wished: "Haha, in that case, I will go with you."

The account was recorded in the hall and he stood up and left the table.

Paimon was overjoyed, and Ying was a little surprised that Zhongli was willing to join in the fun.

Zhongli held one hand in front of him and the other behind his back, looking very elegant.

"To put it bluntly, although I have some knowledge, I am not necessarily the most proficient person in the world in this field."

"There is no limit to learning, and it is always a good thing to gain more knowledge. Firstly, I can feel at ease with you, and secondly, if there are really experts, let me learn from each other."

Paimon scratched his head. This is the unique modesty of the people of Liyue.

Oh! Except Master Jiang Yi.

Whether it is Zhongli, the former God of Geo, or Granny Ping, Ganyu... these immortals are all very humble.

The three of them arrived at the dock.

Old Dai was talking to Jiang Yi about the missing person.

"Is this your friend?" Old Dai looked at Zhongli. From his attire, expression, temperament, etc., he was indeed a man with a lot of background.

"That's right!" Paimon raised his head. "I think this gentleman is the one who knows the most about minerals and geology in the world."

Zhongli smiled at the flattery and said, "Thank you. I just have some experience."

Old Dai became excited: "Hey, if you say so, the one I found is definitely not inferior to others."

He thought about what words to use to describe that person.

Soon, he waved his hand.

"I can't tell. I'll wait until he comes later. You can feel it for yourselves!"

Paimon snorted and showed a look of contempt.

"That totally sounds like an excuse."

Jiang Yi wrote the names of the missing people with a brush. The real names of living beings are closely connected with their souls and flesh and blood. They are the recognition of the world, all things and life that lives in this world.

A person's full name is actually his or her real name, but because there is a possibility of having the same name as someone else, when fortune-telling, people often use birth dates and other factors to eliminate the possibility and make a unique identification.

Jiang Yi had the memory of the game plot to cheat, but at this moment, he was verifying his divination skills, so the process was meticulous.

Avoid relying on game memory all the time, or you will be blind when you encounter the unknown in the future.

Suddenly, a dark-haired, gentle man wearing black-framed glasses walked over from a distance.

"Uh...is this the place?" He looked around in confusion.

Old Dai was delighted when he saw his expression: "Oh my! You came just in time. Let me introduce you all. This is the helper I found, Kunjun."
