"Impersonate Zhongli?"
Instead of objecting, Childe seemed quite excited upon hearing this request.
"That's great! I've always wondered what it feels like for Zhongli after retiring as the Geo Archon. This is a perfect opportunity!"
From this, it was evident that Childe wasn't very skilled at scheming.
Because anyone a little smarter would have acted very hesitant at this point, otherwise the other party might think they were giving too many benefits and might try to bargain down the price.
Xavier hadn't expected this operation to go so smoothly. It seemed he wouldn't need to put in much extra effort.
And when Childe followed Xavier back to the villa, he was startled.
"Oh my goodness, how are you all here? No wonder I didn't see you in Liyue!"
Although he had heard rumors about Xavier, he didn't know that Xavier could bring people back and forth between two worlds.
Nor did he know that everyone had already made this place their second home, frequently coming here even without a specific reason.
Aside from those who were busy with work, more than half of the people he knew were here.
"Very good, very good. Now that Childe has been called, we can begin the next step of the plan!"
Hu Tao said to herself, hands on her hips.
Xavier asked, puzzled, "How come I didn't know there was a next step?"
"Theoretically, there should be a next step, right?" Venti said, swirling his wine glass. "After all, we need to imitate their words and actions to avoid revealing any flaws."
"Besides, shouldn't we at least prepare makeup and wigs?"
Xavier's face suddenly flushed. He had actually overlooked such an important detail.
"Venti is right! I'll go buy wigs and clothes right now!"
"Also, there are many minors here. Can you please not drink during the day!"
As he spoke, Xavier snatched Venti's wine glass away.
Venti stuck out his tongue. While Xavier was in Liyue, he had taken a couple of sips.
"Hmm, interesting, interesting."
"Hmm, delicious, delicious."
"Hmm, fun, fun!"
Childe was like someone who had just opened the door to a new world, forgetting how to imitate Zhongli.
One moment he was fiddling with small objects, the next he was eating desserts and delicacies, and then he was playing on the computer and game console.
Unbeknownst to him, the employees of Northland Bank were waiting for their Harbinger.
Because Childe had only said he would figure out a way to deal with the current trouble, but an entire afternoon had passed, and he hadn't even shown his face.
They strongly suspected that their Lord Childe was very likely avoiding the problem!
A day later, all the clothes and wigs Xavier had bought arrived.
Looking at the piles of clothes, wigs, and props on the floor, everyone was momentarily stumped.
Kaeya spoke up, "Even though we have the clothes and wigs, it won't be that easy to transform into the other person, will it?"
Everyone nodded in tacit agreement, because there was one more step that they weren't good at.
That was makeup.
Xavier also scratched his head: "This is indeed a troublesome matter. Let me see if anyone can help..."
Xavier scrolled through his list.
At the very top, of course, were Juhua Hua and Hua Ling.
Although some of them, as voice actors, had played cosplay in the past.
But their working hours were very irregular, and it probably wouldn't be easy to call them over for help.
Moreover, with so many people on his side, he would at least need to call a whole team.
Suddenly, he saw Heli Hua.
"How could I forget her?" Xavier seemed to have found a savior.
As an experienced cosplayer, she must have a complete understanding of this aspect.
So, without hesitation, he dialed her number.
"Oh, Great Demon King, you actually called me! That's so rare. You're not calling me for something, are you?"
He hadn't expected the other party to expose him right away, which made Xavier's face flush.
"Indeed, I have something I need your help with. I wonder if you're available..."
After telling Heli Hua about his problem and idea, Heli Hua seemed very interested.
"Impersonating each other, that's too interesting! Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll contact people right now!"
