Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"...Selling swords?" The gatekeeper knight was puzzled.

Selling swords to the Knights of Faith is strange no matter how you look at it!

The knight, who had intended to persuade the group to leave, immediately saluted upon seeing Kaeya and his companions approaching, "Captain Kaeya!"

Looking at Fang Rui and the others, and the somewhat strange sword, Kaiya asked, "What's going on?"

“They’ve come to sell weapons,” one of the knights replied.

"For sale?" Kaeya asked, noticing the sword's cool design and its unusual nature. "How much?"

"I'm not very familiar with the prices of weapons, so just give me a market price."

As Fang Rui spoke, Kaiya's expression became somewhat strange. Judging from his tone and demeanor, the man was not lying, but his attitude was questionable, suggesting he was somewhat slacking off.

“I really want to buy it, but I don’t have that much money. But I can introduce you to a client, whether he’s willing to sell is another matter.”

As Kaiya said this, as a knight, he naturally had no intention of cheating anyone.

"Thank you," Fang Rui said.

At the same time, Ying, who came here with Kaiya, was seriously examining the Sustainer.

'Looks familiar! Very familiar!'

The Sustainer remained calm, ignoring Ying's scrutiny, and instead observed Paimon.

'It looks familiar, but... something's not right!'

'There might be a connection.'

The group, each with their own thoughts, exchanged glances for a moment before separating. Kaiya and the others entered the Knights' headquarters, while Fang Rui and the others waited outside...

"Selling weapons is such a hassle!" Fang Rui exclaimed.

"Hey! Do you guys know how to meet the Wind God?" Grimmjow, looking for someone to fight, asked the knights.

The maintainer, who was standing nearby, perked up upon hearing this, as she was equally curious about how to meet the Wind God.

How to meet them? Just camp out at the tavern, of course!

Fang Rui mentally complained, but didn't participate in the conversation, instead placing his sword beside the railing.

"I don't know, the Wind God hasn't appeared for hundreds of years~" the gatekeeper knight answered truthfully, stating something that was common knowledge.

"Hmph~" The maintainer slightly curled the corners of his mouth, mentally judging Barbatos as "negligent in his duties," and prepared to observe him further before rushing to beat him up.

“Uh…” Grimmjow tilted his head. In the territory ruled by the wind god, the wind god had not appeared for hundreds of years. How interesting.

While the group chatted, Ying and Qin finished their conversation and left the Knights' headquarters, preparing to head to the temple guarded by the Four Winds to deal with the issues.

"Come with me! I'll take you somewhere first."

Before leaving Mondstadt to deal with the issues, Kaeya planned to take Fang Rui and the others to the prospective client's location, since it was on the way anyway!

Angel's Gift is a well-known tavern in Mondstadt. Kaeya pushed open the door and entered the tavern. After looking around and not seeing anyone, he found the bartender and said, "Send a message to Diluc. Someone is selling a very good sword. Ask him if he needs it."

After saying that, he gestured for Fang Rui to wait there for a while, and said that the bartender Charles would send someone to deliver a message to Diluc.

"No problem." If we stay here, we might catch a lazy, good-for-nothing wind god.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Wind God looks like when he sees the Sustainer; his expression will definitely be priceless.

Unfortunately, there was no Mora, so there was no way to drink at the tavern.

The group went up to the second floor and sat down near the railing, where they could see the situation on the first floor. Then they started playing a game, not a game console, but Gomoku (Five in a Row).

A few hours later, Diluc, having received the news, arrived at the tavern and learned the details from the bartender.

"You weren't drinking, you were playing chess?"

Interesting that no one was drinking while waiting for someone at the tavern.

Diluc raised an eyebrow slightly and went upstairs. Fang Rui and the others were no longer playing chess, but discussing their travel plans.

Fang Rui said he wanted to manufacture amphibious vehicles that could provide accommodation and facilitate travel.

The person in charge said it was great, and asked whether to hire someone to make it or do it themselves.

Finding someone to make it should be possible for the amazing Abedo, and doing it himself is no problem either; Fang Rui's skills are commendable.

When Diluc arrived on the second floor, the two talked about the kitchen. Among everyone present, Fang Rui was the only one who could cook.

Is Fang Rui someone who likes to cook? The answer is definitely no!

"We need to hire a chef," Fang Rui said.

"I have no objection, but who are you planning to invite? Don't just pick anyone."

Diluc didn't say anything upon hearing this, not knowing what the two were talking about, and didn't speak rashly.

Upon seeing someone arrive, the two paused their discussion and turned their attention to him.

"Hello," Diluc greeted them, without a cold expression.

"Hello, Mr. Diluc, this is the merchandise." Fang Rui got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

The sword is shaped like a wolf's tail. As for why it has the shape of a wolf's tail, it was naturally modified by Fang Rui. The sword is made of recycled metal and has an affinity for fire element, which allows fire-attribute attacks to exert 150% of their power.

Diluc was satisfied with the sword's effects after a brief explanation. "May I try it out?"

"Of course." Fang Rui gestured, "Please go ahead."

The group left the tavern, exited through the back gate of Mondstadt, and arrived at the Cider Lake.

At this time, there was no one outside the back gate of Mondstadt, the fishermen had gone home, and there were no boats on the lake, making it a perfect place to test swords.

First, unleash a set of elemental sword skills, then unleash an elemental burst.

Seeing the power, Diluc was very satisfied. He returned to the tavern with Fang Rui and the others and paid them the money.

"They actually managed to produce so much cash. How much money does the tavern have?"

Holding the money bag, Fang Rui and the others walked along the street, looking for a hotel.

"Who knows?" The maintainer indicated she didn't care and instead asked about something else, "Where does the ore for building 'RVs' come from? Do you buy it?"

"Buy it with money? How long do you think that little bit of money will last?" Fang Rui retorted.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, but I estimate it won't be long," the Sustainer said, then asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"What else can we do? Mining!"

Although minerals in the real world are not as easy to collect as in the game world, information from the game world is still somewhat useful, such as identifying where there are minerals.

Ordinary iron ore and white iron ore are a bit low-grade. You need to use higher-grade ores, such as magic crystals, to make a powerful alchemical device.

but……

Mining is for tomorrow; what we should be focusing on right now is dinner and accommodation.

They met up with Shiho Miyano and the others, and together they headed to the "Deer Hunter Restaurant".

Here, the group encountered another group of people, including Ying and others who had resolved the temple's problems; they seemed to have come to celebrate.

"Yo!"

"Yo! Looks like the weapon sold~" Kaeya responded, then asked with interest, "How much did you get?"

“Not much, ten million,” Fang Rui replied.

"Huh? So cheap! That shouldn't be the case..." Kaiya was a little surprised. His brother was very rich and didn't mind spending money to buy a good weapon, nor would he deliberately try to bargain.

"I'm offering a friendly price; I need Mr. Diluc's help to acquire some ore."

He can find the unique ores of Mondstadt himself, but he needs Diluc's help to acquire the unique ores of Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru.

"I see."

While the two were talking, the others had already sat down and started ordering food.

Ying looked at the Sustainer, and the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed, yet the differences were obvious...

Let's observe further!

Chapter 444 The mission is in progress

The Maintainer didn't care about Ying's gaze; it didn't matter if she was recognized.

The important thing now is dinner. What should we eat?

The maintainer, who lacked knowledge about food, was unsure of what to choose and quietly watched Fang Rui, hoping to get help.

"One serving of honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry per person, plus two servings of radish and vegetable soup, and two servings of sweet flower-stuffed chicken."

“Okay.” Sarah, a waitress at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, responded and told the chef the names of the dishes she had written down.

Meanwhile, Venti, who was not traveling with Kaeya and the others, was near the plaza when the flowing wind brought him new information, causing him to frown slightly.

'A stranger's visit...'

Moreover, they were strangers with high combat power. Wendy felt she should investigate them. So she went to the alchemy table across a fountain square, diagonally opposite the Deer Hunter restaurant, and stood in the shadow of the building, observing the strangers.

'...You look very familiar!'

'Hmm! She looks so familiar! What's she doing here?!'

Wendy was speechless. The previous times he had met this person, nothing good had come of it, and now he had met her again.

My heart is pounding!

Clutching his chest, Wendy felt the speed of his heartbeat. Don't ask where the wind sprite got its heart; it was in human form now.

but……

The fact that the other party did not take direct action indicates that their goal was not to destroy Mondstadt, but for other reasons.

'What should I do? Should I see her?'

Wendy asked herself this question, knowing that among the seven rulers of the mortal realm, one was plotting a rebellion against the laws of nature. If the laws of nature found out, the kingdom might lose one...

Although the people of Zhidong have no relation to him, but...

Wendy hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself, "If I don't get a year's worth of free drinks, I'll make trouble for you," before heading to the Deer Hunter restaurant.

"Huh!" Ying was a little surprised to see Wendy.
