Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance. So you came here today just out of curiosity, just to take a look, chat with me, and give me some pointers?"

"Of course not, there are two things. In fact, I haven't even accomplished the goal I was guiding you to."

"Please speak."

Jiang Ming was genuinely curious. After saying so much, they still hadn't gotten to the point. What was Ni trying to point out?

"You know about the 'prophecy of sinking' and the 'prophecy of destruction,' right?"

"Know a thing or two."

The former refers to Fontainebleau being submerged by water, while the latter... may be related to the line written in the Traveler's story in the game: "The world will not burn again."

In short, it is a prophecy about the destruction of the world, which is also mentioned in the "Book of Secrets Revealed" that appeared before his journey.

"So whatever your plan is, just get on with it."

Chapter 166 A Country Girl

"Why? Is it important?"

"At least in the scenario we've seen, the possibility of you being involved seems better."

Is that so?

So this big shot came all this way just to urge someone on?

“I understand. In fact, I would have done it even without your prompting. So, what’s the other thing?”

You know Mona, right?

"Of course, the apprentice of that witch Barbielos, Astrologis Mona Megistus?"

"Huh? You actually remembered her full name?"

Nico's tone was full of surprise.

"I have a deep impression of this name, and it's not surprising that I remember it after mentioning it repeatedly."

Who knows how many references miHoYo has used in Mona's name? They've brainwashed people with it repeatedly.

"That makes things easier. Mona is already on the Dark Star and will be here soon."

"Huh? Why did you bring her here?"

"Let's come and see for ourselves, and maybe exchange ideas and learn from each other."

"...We don't deal with things like astrology here for the time being."

"Don't be so narrow-minded. True geniuses are often all-rounders. At the very least, to master astrology, you need to be able to model, which requires a high level of mathematical ability."

How come this astrology is like a computer model that predicts something?

and many more!

Jiang Ming suddenly remembered the novels he used to read.

There really are such settings; divination and fortune telling are based on modeling and predicting the future, just like predicting the weather.

Is astrology like that too?

Surely not...

Jiang seemed somewhat hesitant.

"In short, I'm leaving Mona in your care for now. I'm sure she'll be able to help you."

Huh?

What did this person see this time?

Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.

Anyway, Mona is already on the ship, so she must have Beidou support.

Even if Beidou intervenes, he won't be able to refuse.

"Alright, that's all. Well then, our pleasant afternoon tea time is over."

The exquisite teacups on the conference table vanished instantly.

Jiang Ming called out a few times in his mind, but received no response.

It seems they have indeed left.

What is this?

We chatted about a lot of things, some useful and some not, but the two important matters were only mentioned in a few words, and we didn't talk about them for very long.

"So? Did Ms. Nicole mention anything?"

Xin Hai and Wu Lang both noticed the disappearance of the teacup and also noticed that Jiang Ming was gradually coming back to his senses.

Now it's finally their turn to speak.

"Yes, we have guests."

Jiang Ming scratched his head, feeling a bit of a headache over Mona's arrangements.

Should we arrange a laboratory for her? Or something like that?

"guest?"

"Yes, it's on the Beidou ship, and it should arrive tomorrow."

"Is he a good friend of Ms. Nicole?"

"A good friend's disciple, but also a genius. I wonder what else he might be interested in besides astrology."

"I see... Then let's respect his/her wishes and receive him/her as usual."

Xin Hai offered a conventional solution.

“I think that’s fine, but in order to make the best use of talent, we need to think about what we can do for this person.”

Now that Haigishima Island has grown to a significant scale, it is in dire need of manpower, especially in Inazuma, where there is a shortage of talent.

"I think we should wait until we ask the person in question for their wishes before making any decisions."

"Seconded."

Xin Hai and Wu Lang both agreed to discuss it later.

"Well, let's talk about that tomorrow. Let's discuss the resources first. The large quantity of minerals brought by Beidou's fleet this time can alleviate our urgent needs."

Their industrial production capacity has been constrained by a shortage of raw materials and has not improved for a long time.

The fighting broke out on Bayun Island recently, and a large portion of resources were invested in military production, with the daily consumption of guns and ammunition reaching astronomical figures.

In particular, they need to use a large number of heavy artillery pieces to destroy the enemy's barrier.

The saying "When the cannons roar, gold is worth a fortune" is no joke.

Although they were better off using cannons and shells than the enemy was using their men.

In addition to the use of guns and ammunition, they are now making extensive use of robot troops, which are made entirely of metal.

In addition, they are also building massive armored vehicles that weigh tens of tons, and ships are still being built in the docks.

Given their meager mineral resources and the reduced transport capacity due to the war, their resources are somewhat strained.

At this very moment, the minerals brought by the Southern Cross fleet of Beidou became a source of clean water to solve the urgent problem.

The group discussed the resource allocation issue for several hours before finally determining the quotas.

As for what Nico and Jiang Ming talked about, Xin Hai didn't ask any further questions.

This mysterious senior has deliberately chosen a "private call," so it would be impolite to pry any further.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next morning, Beidou's fleet arrived at the port on time.

"Eh?"

Mona looked at the scene before her and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Is it rising too fast?

I set off from Fontaine to Liyue, boarded a ship to cross a thunderstorm and head to Inazuma, but ended up sleeping and returning to Fontaine?

No, Fontaine wouldn't use expensive and delicate humanoid wind-up mechanisms to move these goods.

Although she had heard on the way here that things like clockwork mechanisms were widely used here, she never expected that they would be used so commonly.

She thought it would be something like Fontaine, with just a few security machines.

but now……

Robots can be seen everywhere carrying goods.

The humans interspersed among them were also covered in mechanical equipment.

"It's incredible..."

In Fontainebleau, the use of robots sparked a nationwide strike even before they were implemented. How can they be used so commonly here?

Aren't people worried at all?

How did they handle it?

the most important is……

Mona summoned a water basin.

"I can't see anything here at all..."

She had consulted the oracle several times before coming here, and this place shouldn't be like this.
