Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

A wider world awaits her; retirement is wonderful!

"You want to take over the business?!"

Whether it was a misperception or not, Wendy and Zhongli sensed a hint of excitement and joy in the words of the maintainer.

'It must be my imagination!' Wendy thought to herself.

“It’s not an illusion!” Zhongli was very certain. As someone who also wanted to retire, Zhongli could tell whether what the maintainers said was false.

Based on her previous behavior, the maintainer really wants to retire.

Thinking about how he had gone through so much trouble to shed his duties as the Rock God, only to be given the role of the Sustainer and be responsible for even more arduous work.

"!!!" Zhong Li shuddered. No way she wanted to go from one tiring job to an even more tiring one!

"No, I'm asking for someone else." Zhong Li didn't hesitate at all and directly shifted the blame.

"Who?" The maintainer's mood dropped. In her opinion, there were very few suitable successors, but Zhong Li was one of them, as he met the standards in both martial arts and management.

The rest...

Raiden's management skills are up to par, but his combat abilities are somewhat lacking. As for your claim that the former Thor is dead, the maintainer says it's a minor issue and not worth worrying about.

The demon god's soul is preserved by the ley lines, and the World Tree can be used to extract it again. The only problem is the physical body...

The body of a demon god needs time to develop, and the corresponding powers require a body to match them.

The Great Tree King's management skills are also up to par, and his martial prowess is decent, but...

According to the information she gathered, the Grass God has been replaced, and the current Grass God is the Little Auspicious Grass King.

As for the other gods, they all have some problems. The wind god has been slacking off, the rock god wants to retire just like him, the water god is somewhat obsessive, and the ice god and fire god are the same.

Thinking about it this way, she doesn't have many capable people under her command!

The person who maintained the relationship really wanted to complain, but ultimately said nothing.

After hesitating for a while, Zhongli did not betray the Ice God, but instead came up with another excuse, "a demon god I used to know."

The answer was perfunctory, but the person maintaining the relationship didn't press further. She was already thinking about retirement and naturally didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

"Let's change the subject." Seeing the awkward atmosphere between Zhongli and the Sustainer, Fang Rui joined the conversation at the right time, steer the topic to another angle.

"Regarding the Mora issue, we're traveling the world, but unfortunately we didn't bring enough money, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhongli already understood what was going on. He wanted to refuse, but the watchful eyes of the maintainer made him swallow his words.

"Wait a moment, I'll change my identity."

Having said this, Zhongli left the place and returned a little later with a pot.

The Dust Song Pot uses the technique of creating a grotto-heaven to open up a space inside the pot.

“There are a lot of Mora inside, I don’t know exactly how many.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui took the Chen Ge Pot and glanced inside. The mountain of Mora was glittering.

'Quite a lot!' Fang Rui thought to himself as he put away the Dust Song Pot.

"Thanks for the help."

A moment later, Fang Rui invited, "Want to travel together?"

"No need." Feeling a premonition that she was going to become his personal wallet, Zhong Li immediately refused.

"Is that so? What a pity." Fang Rui didn't insist and left with the Sustainer and the others, strolling around Liyue Harbor.

Zhong Li had no interest in accompanying them, but unfortunately there were too many dangerous people, so he had to keep an eye on them...

During their shopping trip, Wendy suggested more than once that they go to a pub for a drink to relax, but everyone refused.

When it comes to drinking, Zhongli only takes a sip, Weizhizhe has no interest, and Fangrui doesn't particularly like it.

As for Tvalin, he said Wendy should drink less alcohol.

Zhongli is a fun-loving person, and under his guidance, the group's understanding of Liyue's entertainment venues increased rapidly.

At noon, everyone had lunch at Wanmin Hall, cooked by Chef Mao. Xiangling was still in Mondstadt collecting ingredients and had not yet returned...

"It tastes very good." The Sustainer nodded slightly. For her, food was a rare commodity, since she could survive without eating.

"Yes, it's delicious." Wendy drinks when she has money and rarely eats normal food, for the same reason as above.

As for Dvalin, having previously been in dragon form, he had never visited human towns, and naturally had never tasted their cuisine.

The group praised the dish, and Master Mao was very pleased, so he gave them a complimentary cold dish.

After the meal, everyone returned to the Hall of Rebirth. Fang Rui and the others stayed in the Alchemy Car.

Elsewhere, at the Liyue branch of the Northern Bank, the lady who came to Liyue found Tartaglia and explained the situation.

"Are you making things harder for me?" Tartaglia was speechless when she heard that the Wind God was in Liyue.

Normally, the seven ruling gods do not leave their respective territories, but there are occasional exceptions. For example, there used to be a customary gathering of the seven gods, but that gathering has now been cancelled.

Therefore, the only god who wanders around nowadays is perhaps Barbatos, who does nothing of interest.

"..." The angry woman didn't refute anything. The difficulty of obtaining the Heart of God had also increased several times. Now she was clueless and didn't know what to do.

In short, find Morax first.

With the Queen's offer of a cooperative agreement, they should be able to persuade Morax.

With that thought in mind, the woman left the Northern Bank to find someone.

Several days later, the ceremony to invite the immortals had begun, and everyone headed to the Jade Capital Terrace.

Fang Rui and the maintainer were positioned on a rocky hill outside the railing. Because of their higher elevation, they could overlook the entire area.

Wendy and Dwarin sat on the railing, gazing at the azure sky, while Ying and Paimon struggled to push their way forward in the crowd. The rest of the people did not come to Yujingtai.

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

Ningguang formed a hand seal, and Yanjing flew into the sky with a dazzling tail of light. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed. The dragon's body moved among the dark clouds, appearing and disappearing.

"Hmm?" The maintainer frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

Fang Rui took out his camera. He had already missed the iconic scene of the Wind God, so how could he miss the iconic scene of the Rock God?

The next second, the giant dragon fell out of the vortex of dark clouds and plummeted straight towards Yujingtai, leaving a group of people dumbfounded.

Fang Rui turned on the recording mode, but saw a golden light appear in the lens.

"Holy crap!" With a quick rant, the dragon had already landed on the ground, and the Jade Capital Terrace was utterly silent. The embarrassing history collection hadn't been successful...

"Zhongli, what are you doing here?" Fang Rui reluctantly put down his camera and looked to the side.

No one knows when or where Zhongli appeared.

"Let me take a look." Zhongli glanced at the camera, a feeling of relief washing over her.

Having his picture taken was not part of his plan.

"How stingy," Fang Rui complained.

"You... just retired like this?" The maintainer was speechless. If you had retired normally, I wouldn't be so speechless.

“Ahem, I want to test this,” Zhongli replied, “whether humanity can continue to move forward without my protection.”

"You mean... you're not planning to find someone to succeed the Rock God?" The Sustainer frowned.

The rule of seven-year rule was set by me! How dare you change it!

Upon hearing this, Zhongli showed no sign of nervousness and instead asked, "You're already preparing to retire, why are you still concerned about this?"

The maintainer: "…………" You make a good point.

There's no need to worry about it unless it causes a huge uproar, after all, I'm about to retire!

Thinking this, the Sustainer said nothing more, but quietly watched Yujingtai to see how Ningguang would handle the matter.

Zhongli did the same thing, watching quietly.

After letting her mind wander, Ying decided to run away...

"Huh?" The onlookers immediately looked puzzled.

No, why are you running?

Chapter 447 Oser is preparing

Seeing that Ying and Paimon's escape was discovered and they were taken away by the Fatui's enforcers, Zhongli and the others were expressionless, but in reality, they were speechless.

After answering Qianyanjun's questions, the group left Yujingtai and returned to their RV.

"What are your follow-up plans?" the maintainer asked directly.

Although Zhongli's retirement plan is not a useful reference, his supporters are very curious about how he arranged it.

"Wait, wait for the accumulated problems in Liyue Harbor to erupt."

As Liyue's military leader, Zhongli is confident in resolving the problems in Liyue Harbor. All he needs to do is observe from behind the scenes and see how the Liyue Seven Stars act. If they perform well, he will let them go; if not, he will take matters into his own hands.

"So, you'll be quite free for a while afterward?" the maintainer said.

“No, I need to prepare the ceremonial gifts for the immortals. Would you like to come and take a look?” Zhongli extended an invitation.

“No need, I have other things to do,” Fang Rui said, glancing at the maintainer.

Based on past experience, she had a feeling that Fang Rui needed her help.

Zhongli nodded slightly, not inviting them further. Thinking of their previous actions, he had already guessed what was going on, so he turned and left, leaving the two space to talk.

"Tell me! What do you need my help with?" the maintainer asked bluntly.

"Rescuing people from the earth's veins."

Fang Rui's answer left the maintainer somewhat helpless. It was only because you were stronger than me; otherwise, if anyone else had said that to me, a beating would have been the least of my worries.

"Yes, but I suggest finding the Grass Goddess. As the manager of the World Tree, she is more suitable."

The person who maintained the system said that although she had the authority, she was not as skilled as the Grass God in operating it.

“I know, but there’s one target whose location is a little special.”

Fang Rui began to tell the story of Yaksha Fushe, describing the characteristics of the space where the other party was located.
