Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

After saying goodbye to Albedo who was still thinking, Rhine raised his hand, and countless tiny black cubes wrapped his body again.

Feeling the familiar touch and watching the sea view in front of him turn into darkness, when the light appeared in front of him again, Rhine had already arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

"Hey, Mr. Zhongli, how have you been these days?" Rhine asked with a smile as he looked at Zhongli who was making tea.

"Don't be polite, please take a seat." Zhongli spread his hands and invited Rhine to take a seat.

"Rhine, why do you know my location?" he asked puzzledly.

"Based on common sense, Mr. Zhongli will spawn at several fixed locations in Liyue Harbor." Rhine sat on a wooden chair.

"However, due to you, Wangsheng Hall has been experiencing a period of slow business recently. Walnut will definitely restrict you from wandering around and ask you to help her or something."

Not to mention that Zhongli's identity is still kept secret, Rhine feels that even if Hu Tao knows that Zhongli is the Geo King, if he hinders the development of Wangsheng Hall, she will still ask him to distribute flyers.

"I'm here to ask you a favor." Before pouring the tea, Rhine got down to business.

"Dongzhi is pressing me hard. I will have to return to Dongzhi in a few days. Not to mention the Queen, I will probably have to face some not-so-friendly executive officers. I am a little unsure.

Why don't you cast a spell on me, Lord Emperor? It doesn't have to be too powerful, just enough to provide some protection, enough to block a few of General Lei Dian's "Unthinking Knife".

There is no way around it. As an executive, Rhine often has to face potential dangers, either from strangers or from colleagues around him.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't have to worry, but now that he has lost his power, Rhine inevitably lacks a sense of security.

"If I don't wear a few layers of jade shields on my body, I really wouldn't dare to walk around in Teyvat." He sighed in his heart.

Zhongli poured himself some tea and said with a smile, "You are an executive officer, and this identity should have no obstacles in Teyvat.

This loss of power is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Although the combat power of Teyvat is divided into different levels, many problems can still be solved by intelligence.

You can also resolve all kinds of dangers and train yourself with your own wisdom, and you don't have to rely on me."

To be fair, Zhongli didn't really want to help.

It's not that he disliked Rhine. On the contrary, he thought Rhine was quite interesting and was happy to help if she could do him any small favor.

However, this was different from the rock element crystals left behind before. If he used protective measures on Rhine, he would leave his own mark. This mark was unusual, and its meaning was equivalent to telling outsiders that this person was protected by him.

In the eyes of the God of Ice, the significance of such a mark is equivalent to Morax declaring Rhine as his own subordinate.

Although Zhongli could not possibly be afraid of the Ice God, from a courtesy perspective, this method of seemingly snatching people away was too easy to cause misunderstandings and would make others think he was rude.

"Is that so..." Rhine didn't think too much about it, he just felt a little regretful.

Everyone knows that in the entire Teyvat, Zhongli’s shield is the most useful.

It’s really a pity that I couldn’t get any benefit from the old man.

"Forget it. I'll just stay in Liyue for a while longer and put off going to Zhidong for a while longer."

Rhine drank the tea in his hand and said, "That's it, Zhongli, I'm leaving first..."

"Hey, hey, isn't this Rhine? What brings you here?" Just when Rhine was about to leave, Walnut suddenly stepped into the Hall of Rebirth and spotted Rhine at a glance.

She circled around Lai Yin, looking him up and down. "I haven't seen you for a few days. You still look energetic. It's just that you haven't written enough chapters in your storybook. When can you add a few more chapters?"

"Uh, no hurry, no hurry..." Rhine was ashamed. During this period of time, he had been surviving in the gap between Ningguang and Ye Lan. He had no time to think about the storybook.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this. You just happened to be here, and I want you to do me a favor." Hu Tao put down the flyers he had not yet distributed.

"There has been some movement in Wuwangpo recently. If you have nothing to do, you can come with me to take a look. It would be boring for me to go alone." She poured a cup of tea and said while drinking.

"Of course, I will return to Winter in a while. During this period, I am always free." Rhine would certainly not refuse.

“Yeah, that’s good. We won’t bring Chongyun and Xingqiu this time. It’s just the two of us. We’ll take action in three days.

I will distribute the flyers in the next few days, and we will be able to set off at noon three days later, so we can sleep at Wangshu Inn at night.

However, the Seven Stars have been vigorously developing Liyue's economy during this period, and the trade routes are bustling. If there is no reservation, will Wangshu Inn be out of rooms?

Forget it, you are a simple and serious person, and I am not a hypocritical person. At most, we can live in the same room and pay half of the rent. "

Lai Yin joked, "If I can live in the same room with Master Hu, it should be considered a great benefit. I will pay for the room."

He is a person who takes money very seriously, after all, he doesn't have to earn it himself.

"Hey, you dare to tease this hall master, you deserve a beating."

Hearing Rhine's teasing, Walnut came up to him with a giggle, stood on tiptoes, and gently tapped Rhine's forehead with her fingers.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Rhine screamed exaggeratedly, as if Walnut's head collapse was even more terrifying than Osel's full-strength attack.

"Wow, you acted really well. I'll give you another one." As he said that, Walnut stood on tiptoe again and flicked Rhine lightly.

"Oh no, I'm going to die~" Rhine fell to the ground, covering his forehead.

Zhongli watched the interaction between the two and gently put down the teacup.

"Master Hu, if I remember correctly, Wangsheng Hall should have ordered a batch of timber from Chihuyan. You may need to keep an eye on the loading and unloading work there." Zhongli reminded.

"Oh no, I forgot about this. Thanks to the guest for reminding me in time. I'll leave first." Hu Tao drank the tea in his hand and hurried out of the Hall of Rebirth.

“Rhine, as an executive officer, staying in Liyue for a long time will easily arouse suspicion.

Why don't I arrange some protection for you first, so that you can complete the Ice God's mission as soon as possible."

In the end, Zhongli looked at Rhine helplessly and spoke calmly, but there was a sense in his normal tone that he could not allow others to question him.
