Genshin Impact, but the chat group

With Zhongli behind her to ensure her safety, Li Yue could freely experiment.

So Li Yue tried out several classic Kido techniques, such as White Thunder, Crimson Fire Cannon, Azure Fire Fall, and Heavenly Storm, and then engaged in close combat with his Zanpakuto.

In terms of Kido, Li Yue relied on the spiritual pressure of Kensei Muguruma, and even though he had never used it before, he was able to use it successfully on his first try thanks to the memory provided by Aizen. However, due to his lack of proficiency, the power was not very good. But in terms of sword techniques, Li Yue was absolutely terrible.

Throughout the entire process, all he did was perform a double-handed jumping slash, without any other moves. However, with the support of spiritual pressure and Zhongli's shield, especially under the suppression of the captain-level spiritual pressure, the Hilichurls couldn't even move and could only stand still and be slashed by Li Yue's jumping slashes. It was quite a powerful and beautiful sight!

"Young friend Li Yue, the power you have awakened is very peculiar. It is a power I have never seen before, but it is also rich in various elements. As for what this power is, I'm afraid it will require some time of research."

Unable to figure out what kind of power this was, Zhongli could only answer in this way. Although he was puzzled by Li Yue's power, Zhongli was also relieved. He knew that Li Yue was not a native of Teyvat, and the power he had awakened was most likely not a Teyvat power. However, although the power that Li Yue had awakened was strange and unknown, it was not a power of the Abyss. As long as it was not a power of the Abyss, Zhongli was relieved. At least he did not have to worry about Li Yue falling into the Abyss.

"Currently, it seems that this power is under your control, young friend Li Yue. Although we don't know what this power represents, it is harmless in general. Therefore, you can use it with peace of mind. As for the relationship between this power and elemental power, we can only wait for further research to find out."

"Oh, I see. That's a real shame."

Li Yue shook her head in disappointment.

"I thought it was because I fused with a Geo elemental creation that I awakened the Geo element. I thought the Geo Archon saw me and was going to give me the Geo Vision. Speaking of which, I've already awakened this power, and the Geo Archon still hasn't seen me? Tsk, how stingy."

Is this my fault?

Zhongli listened from the side, feeling utterly helpless.

“Let’s go, Zhongli. Since we don’t understand what this power is for the time being, let’s go back first. It’s getting late, and Hu Tao should be back soon.”

After deliberately complaining, Li Yue invited Zhong Li to go back together.

“Indeed, it’s time to go back, otherwise the hall master will start lecturing us again.”

The two returned to the Hall of Rebirth from Tianheng Mountain together. As expected, Hu Tao had already returned to the Hall of Rebirth. When she saw Li Yue and Zhong Li returning together, she immediately waved happily.

"Zhongli and Liyue! You're finally back!!"

"Hu Tao, you seem so excited, is something good happening?"

"That's right, it's great news!"

Hu Tao clenched her fists and opened her beautiful big eyes.

"We previously launched a limited-edition luxury cemetery plot service, but we haven't released a second phase yet. However, today several customers have proactively contacted me, wanting to reserve plots in the second phase directly! They are even willing to pay double the price to secure their spots early!"

Double the price! Before, Walnuts would offer half price on the second item or buy one get one free. Now, not only are they not offering half price or giving it away for free, but some people are even actively raising the price.

"Li Yue, your plan is absolutely brilliant!"

"It's nothing, it's just a simple publicity stunt that exploits the competitive mentality among the wealthy."

Li Yue crossed her arms and looked smug.

“There is no shortage of rich people in Liyue Harbor, but the rich will also compete with each other. Although the business of the Hall of Rebirth is not very auspicious for everyone, none of them can avoid the Hall of Rebirth.”

In Liyue Harbor, the Restaurant of Rebirth truly holds a monopoly. There are several restaurants competing with each other, such as Liyue Cuisine and Yue Cuisine, and in the Tiger Rock area, there are Wanmintang and Zhongyuan Zasui. There are many choices, but the Restaurant of Rebirth is truly unique!

Therefore, when Li Yue helped Wang Sheng Tang launch a limited-edition feng shui treasure land package for wealthy people, the rich had no choice.

Li Yue's advertising slogan is also very simple: Only people with real status can own limited feng shui treasure burial plots!

Liyue has no shortage of wealthy people, but it lacks wealthy people with status. This is because Liyue's high-level officials are only the Seven Stars. This auspicious place, which only people with status can own, immediately caught the attention of these wealthy people, so they all wanted to buy it.

For no other reason than for this prestigious label!

"Have you accepted their reservation, Walnut?"

"No, no, just like you said, Li Yue, we have to keep them hanging on and not let them get an appointment easily. The more unattainable something is, the more they want it!"

"That's right, exactly! When the second phase of the product is launched, our starting price can be doubled to that of the first phase! That is, the amount they want to pay more to reserve."

"Huh? It's going to go up again!?"

Hu Tao was astonished.

"That's right, the price needs to keep rising. Only by raising the price in the second phase can the status of the first phase buyers be highlighted. The price needs to be higher and higher as time goes on! The higher the price, the more they will want to buy!"

As Li Yue spoke, she pointed to Zhong Li beside her.

“Zhongli and Keqing, the Star of Yuheng, have a very good relationship. We can even have Zhongli give Keqing a burial plot and then advertise it to the outside world, saying that she is buried in the same auspicious place as the Seven Stars of Liyue. That way, the price can be increased even more!”

???

Zhongli, who was listening nearby, was shocked. Was selling a graveyard even involving Liyue Qixing? And why me? Delivering a graveyard out of nowhere, even if it was free, would still get me a lot of flak.

"Young friend, I think..."

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think! If I think you can do it, then you definitely can!"

Li Yue interrupted Zhong Li's chanting, and Hu Tao immediately followed suit.

“That’s right, Zhongli, as a guest elder, you should contribute to the performance of the Hall of Rebirth. Otherwise, where will you get the money to drink tea and watch operas outside? Yuheng Star has said several times that he wants to recruit you. You can take advantage of this relationship to get closer to him. Anyway, it’s not like we’re the only ones who will try to get close to Qixing. No matter what method you use, just give him a burial plot.”

"Okay, I'll try my best."

With both Li Yue and Hu Tao giving him instructions, Zhong Li could only say that he would try his best. As for when he could finish, that would depend on when Zhong Li wanted to do it. He would agree for now, otherwise they would keep nagging him.

"Let's go! I'm in a good mood today, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Seeing that Zhongli agreed, Hu Tao waved her hand, ready to be generous this time.

When it comes to food, Zhongli's expression immediately changes. As a gourmet, Zhongli takes food very seriously.

"Oh? Which house is the sect leader planning to go to?"

"Let's go to Wanmintang. I prefer the atmosphere there. Big restaurants are boring!"

Li Yue directly brought up Wanmintang.

"Wanmintang is fine, it would be great if Xiangling were in charge of cooking today."

The three of them went to Wanmintang together, and new messages appeared in the chat group.

[A plump woman in black stockings: Aki Tomoya has disappointed me so much!]

10. Aspiration is the furthest distance from understanding!

[The plump woman in black stockings: I arrived a little late as agreed, but when I got there, it turned out I wasn't the only one they had invited. Kato Megumi and the blonde, flat-chested woman were also there. If I had arrived earlier as I had thought, I probably would have just sat there dumbfounded waiting for him to bring his people to see me.]

[The chubby woman in black stockings: His explanation for trying to persuade me to make the game for him was exactly the same as in the storyline, not even a single word was changed!]

[The fat woman in black stockings: Kato Megumi and the blonde flat-chested woman said exactly the same things. That blonde flat-chested woman still has that disgusting, arrogant expression on her face, it's really annoying!]

[The plump woman in black stockings: He wants me to work for him for free. Even if he were to pay me, he wouldn't even provide a basic business plan. He's all talk and no action, passionately rambling on for ages, but hasn't said a single thing that's truly important.]

[The chubby woman in black stockings: Looking at it this way, my future self is practically an idiot. No, it should be said that I didn't know my future self was an idiot. At least now I know what kind of person Aki Tomoya really is.]

[The plump woman in black stockings: Tsk, how annoying! I actually fell for him because he helped me promote my book. Just because of something so trivial! I was such an idiot before!]

Kasumigaoka Utaha was very excited and sent several messages in the chat group in one go.

A series of message notifications left Li Yue, who was already at Wanmintang and waiting for her food, completely bewildered. When she checked the chat group, she realized that Kasumigaoka Utaha was sending messages like crazy. While waiting for her food, Li Yue started replying in the group.

[Silly Guy: To be precise, it's perfectly fine for you to have feelings for him from the start. For a new writer, their first serialized work is naturally something to cherish. And he just happened to save your work when it was about to be canceled, changing its fate. So having feelings for him is understandable, after all, he did help you.]

[Silly Guy: You just didn't realize that his help was essentially just his own hobby. And in the years that followed, he continued to live solely according to his own interests. To put it bluntly, he only cared about his own interests and didn't consider other people's feelings. Promoting your book was his hobby, and getting you to help him with games was also his hobby. When his interests could help others, it was very good for them. But when his interests became a burden imposed on others, it wasn't good for them.]

[The silly, funny guy: He describes his ideal story to you through his dual identities—as someone who helped you and as a fan of your novel—and you admire his ideals, but you've forgotten the most important point.]

[Plump woman in black stockings: Which point?]

[Silly and Amusing Person: Aspiration is the furthest distance from understanding!]

Aizen peeping through the screen: ......

When Li Yue watched the anime, she felt that Aki Tomoya wasn't a bad person at first, but his biggest problem was that he imposed his will on others, which was disgusting.

The three main female characters, Kasumigaoka Utaha, have feelings for him and therefore accept his request; Eriri also has feelings for him and therefore accepts his arrangement; and Kato Megumi, who is not good at refusing others, also accepts his arrangement. It can only be said that he had extremely good luck.

The end result was that he dumped the two girls who had feelings for him. The process was disgusting. It was one thing for Eriri to be so arrogant and kill herself, but after Kasumigaoka clearly expressed her feelings, she was still kept hanging. He took the "neither taking the initiative nor refusing" approach to the extreme until he finally rejected her. This is why Li Yue hates him. It's definitely not because he's jealous of the group of beautiful girls around him.

[A plump woman in black stockings: Ugh, this is so annoying!]

[Silly and Amusing Person: So, now that you know what the future holds, how should you deal with it?]

Li Yue is now very curious about Kasumigaoka's choice.

[The chubby woman in black stockings: Although I'm very annoyed, I will participate in his game development.]

Ok?

Li Yue was somewhat puzzled. They already knew all this, so why participate? Did they plan to use the information they'd obtained beforehand to conduct an open-book exam?

[The plump woman in black stockings: After calming down and thinking about it, just like you said, he did help me. If it weren't for his promotion, my novel would have died out from the second volume onwards, instead of achieving decent sales like it does now. I owe him a favor. And as you said, I was too focused on having feelings for him and didn't consider his possible attitude towards me. The future hasn't happened yet, and the future can't be a reason for me not to repay the favor. But from now on, I will let go of my feelings for him and treat him as an ordinary person who helped me.]

[The plump woman in black stockings: As a light novel author, he helped me with the promotion of my novels. Now he wants me to write a copy for him. To repay this favor, I will agree, but everything must be done professionally! I won't waste my time fooling around with him and his women. I will only write the copy according to his requirements and send it to him. Once his so-called game is over, I will owe him nothing.]

[The guy with the super-sized hairspray: A very fair and just choice.]

[Silly and funny person: Sparrow!]

Li Yue completely agreed with Aizen's assessment. Originally, Li Yue thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha was unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to rely on herself to know the future, so she directly opened the exam. After all, if Kasumigaoka Utaha was determined to defeat Aki Tomoya, she would have a very high chance of winning if she had the future strategy in hand.

That wasn't the case; she simply wanted to repay the favor fairly.

[Silly Guy: Hey Godfather, you're online too? Have you finished researching elemental power yet?]

[The guy with the super-gelled hair: I'm currently researching it, but testing the equipment to measure this power takes time. Until I get the results, I'm relatively free. Although I know that an invisible empire is hidden in the shadows of the Seireitei, the time isn't right yet. I'm not in a hurry; I have plenty of time to make arrangements.]

[Silly Person: Is this the leisure of the strong? I'm genuinely envious.]

[The guy with the super-gelled hair: Li Yuejun, you'll reach my level sooner or later. Although the elemental creation you gave me hasn't yielded results yet, my intuition as a researcher tells me that this power is not weak. If you fully master this power, and combine it with the power of the Grim Reaper, Li Yuejun will definitely become a powerhouse on par with me.]

[Silly Guy: So that's how you see me, Godfather? Thank you for the compliment! I will strive to improve and shout as soon as possible: A true man is born between heaven and earth, how can he live a life of subservience to others!]

[The guy with the super-sized hairspray: ......]

[A plump woman in black stockings: I don't really understand you superhumans.]

Kasumigaoka Utaha watched as the two talked about power and the extraordinary, and as an ordinary human, she couldn't understand it.

[Silly Person: It's normal not to understand, because everyone in your world is just an ordinary person. Okay, my food is here too. My friend is treating me to dinner today, so I'm outta here. Bye~~~]

11. Chairs filled with Parvati!

As the sun rises over Liyue Harbor, the port city begins to bustle with activity. Sailors on the docks begin loading and unloading cargo from the ships docked in the harbor, while shops on the commercial street open for business.

Inside the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, drinking the first cup of tea of ​​the morning, and then looked up at the roof.

I don't understand it, I really don't understand it.
