Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"Ah? Yes, that's right. We can talk about the location now. Liyue is vast and rich in resources, and there are still many auspicious sites waiting to be developed."

Ke Qing only realized what Ning Guang meant when she heard Ning Guang call her name, and hurriedly responded.

It seems that Ningguang has agreed to increase production in the Stratorock Abyss.

"So, our cooperation agreement is settled for now. Let Hideo Yamagami handle the specific details."

"There is another issue regarding transport capacity. We will form a new fleet and join Captain Beidou's fleet to handle the transport of goods between our two sides. The fleet is the same type as the one I am currently using. We will also have larger tonnage vessels in the future. To improve transport efficiency, we may need to make some minor modifications to your port."

"Is it about container standards? Seven Stars has discussed this before, and we all agree that it is indeed a good idea."

"More than that, it's a comprehensive set of technical standards, including requirements for the water depth and height of the dock."

Jiang Ming conveyed their expected requirements to Ning Guang.

"A 300,000-ton class???"

Ningguang stared at the data presented with a face full of question marks.

What kind of ship is that big?

"At the current rate of efficiency, I feel we're not far from reaching that level. As for the design, we still need to consider the future, so we don't have to make repeated modifications later."

Ningguang stared at the data in silence for a long time.

The current docks in Liyue Harbor are not even capable of stopping 30,000 tons, let alone 300,000 tons.

“We will seriously consider this matter. I will discuss it with the Seven Stars another day.”

Ningguang did not immediately agree.

The docks in Liyue Harbor are constantly at full capacity, so upgrading them requires advance planning.

The following time was used for some detailed discussions.

When it got dark and the two parted ways, Ke Qing went out first, while Ning Guang called Jiang Ming back alone.

“Mr. Jiang, the materials you sent have played a crucial role in the development of Liyue.”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment before he realized which ones they were.

"I'm glad I could help."

"However, these materials seem to be incomplete. Is there something Mr. Jiang is having trouble saying?"

Jiang Ming roughly understood that Ningguang wanted a more comprehensive understanding.

However, he has already given enough; if we were to delve any deeper…

He was a little confused.

It's not that I'm afraid of Ningguang, but I'm afraid that the major families of Liyue might act desperately, and if that affects Inazuma's side, things will get complicated.

“Ms. Ningguang, there’s an old saying that goes, ‘Haste makes waste.’”

After much deliberation, Jiang Ming decided to leave it at that for now and wait until the conditions were right.

Chapter 181 Exposed

It was already evening when they left Qunyu Pavilion. Jiang Ming suggested that they take a walk around Liyue Harbor, saying that he was not familiar with the area because he had been away for too long. He asked one of Yuehai Pavilion's secretaries to accompany him as a guide.

The real-world Liyue Harbor is much larger than the one in the game, with streets and alleys stretching out one after another.

However, the general structure is quite similar, and you can always come across a familiar place after walking a long distance.

It's basically like Liyue Harbor in the game magnified many times and filled with various buildings. The scenes in the game are more like some eye-catching key nodes here.

The difference is that, because the power system is already well-established in Liyue, many places have already been equipped with electric lights.

The lighting is much brighter than candlelight, and it already has a lighting effect similar to that in games.

As I walked, I crossed the bridge and came to a familiar place.

In the game, he frequently visited this place when he came to Liyue to borrow the crafting table.

You can even see teleportation anchors here.

The sound of storytelling could be heard in my ears.

Tian Tiezui.

To be fair, it was indeed very well said and quite captivating.

However, Jiang Ming's attention was focused on the people listening to the storytelling below.

Familiar attire, a reassuringly tall figure, holding a cup of hot tea to his lips, sitting in that classic seat.

There was also a birdcage on the table.

The sense of security you give me is less than one ten-thousandth of what this man provides.

Jiang Ming told his secretary, Yue Haiting, who was accompanying him, not to follow for the time being, and then walked forward alone to the opposite side of Zhong Li.

"Hey buddy, would it be convenient for us to share a table?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli looked up and saw Jiang Ming.

He looked around and saw that there were still empty tables.

This person... came specifically to see me?

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhongli's eyes.

"Guests who have come from afar, please feel free to come."

Zhongli gestured for Jiang Ming to sit down.

Jiang Ming didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down and asked someone for a cup of tea. For a while, he didn't say anything, but just listened to Tian Tiezui's storytelling with Zhong Li.

Zhong Li acted as if Jiang Ming didn't exist, continuing to listen to Tian Tiezui's storytelling and drink tea.

In fact, he was also wondering why Jiang Ming had approached him.

However, he wasn't in a hurry; it was better to wait for the other party to speak first.

Only after Tian Tiezui finished his storytelling did Jiang Ming take out a small metal rod from his pocket and place it on the table.

Upon pressing the switch, Zhongli clearly sensed a change occurring around him.

"?"

Zhongli looked at Jiang Ming with a puzzled expression.

"An experimental device that can block out the sound of our conversations; the power supply can last for about 30 minutes."

Meeting Zhongli's questioning gaze, Jiang Ming gave a brief explanation.

Zhongli was somewhat surprised by these words.

There are no traces of magical arts or elemental power used. How could mortal wisdom and technology have developed so quickly?

Zhongli carefully sensed the surroundings and found that there were indeed quite a few prying eyes around him.

However, all the attention was focused on Jiang Ming.

I have no idea what this person wants to talk to me about.

However, since there is a need for confidentiality...

Jiang Ming clearly felt that it was much quieter around him.

"If it is necessary to isolate oneself from the outside world, this is a safer approach."

I don't know what Zhongli did, but judging from the other person's tone, it didn't seem to be any more difficult than eating or drinking.

The other person was even leisurely making tea for themselves.

“That saves a lot of trouble.” Jiang Ming said as he put his device away. “Thanks, Morax.”

Zhong Li held the teacup to her lips without pausing, but after taking a small sip, she frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Ming.

"Morax is the name of the Geo Archon, and he holds a transcendent position in the hearts of the people of Liyue. He is indeed very famous. However, it seems a bit of an exaggeration to say that we should thank the Archon for everything."

The other party is just an ordinary person, there's no mistake about that. I have a good memory and I'm sure we've never met before. Besides, the other party is a guest invited from outside the world, so how did they know my identity?

Zhong Li neither admitted nor denied it, but was simply trying to change the subject.

He wasn't sure if the other party was just bluffing him.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I want the Heart of God, at least for a while."

This left Zhongli speechless.

It doesn't seem like they're bluffing.

"At this point in time, you shouldn't have reached any agreement with the Ice Queen yet, right?"

They even know about the deal he's discussing with the Ice Queen?

Zhongli's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Young friend, how do you know these things?"

If his actions have already been recorded, doesn't that mean that he and the Ice Queen haven't done anything yet, but everything has already been leaked?

It's already been exposed?

Is his next move even necessary?

Is there any chance that the Ice Queen's operation will succeed?

At this moment, Zhongli suddenly realized that if all of this had been recorded and known, then the Ice Queen's act of defying the laws of nature had become a paradox.

If Heaven's justice and the maintainers are still capable of action, then knowing all this, they certainly wouldn't sit idly by while the Ice Queen acts, nor would they stand idly by while he secretly supports the Ice Queen through a combination of selling and giving.

If it is already beyond our power to stop it, then the role of the Heart of God seems to become dispensable.

If even the principles of Heaven and those who maintain them don't know this, then how does Jiang Ming know it?

He now desperately wants to get a definite answer from Jiang Ming.
