Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

There were several sailors on board, each busy with their own tasks.

Above the bridge, a black-haired girl wearing an eye patch stood upright, a greatsword in front of her, her hands gripping the hilt, gazing into the distance.

Her figure appeared incredibly small compared to the vast ocean, yet she stood there, as steady as a mountain, undaunted even by towering waves.

Indeed, this is true. As the leader of the Southern Cross and the uncrowned dragon of Liyue, Beidou's name is far more renowned than that of the sea monsters.

"Boss, there's someone over there!"

A sailor suddenly shouted.

Beidou turned his gaze and saw a wooden plank floating to the right front of the Death Star.

A person was lying on the wooden board.

"Pull him out of the water."

Beidou gave the order.

The sailors got to work, rescuing the people who had fallen into the water and bringing them aboard.

"A treasure-hunting group?"

Seeing the unconscious man, Beidou raised an eyebrow. She had never had a good impression of the treasure-hunting gang, but now that she had rescued him, she couldn't just throw him back into the sea.

"Boss, what should we do?"

"Take it with you for now, and hand it over to the Qianyan Army after we reach the shore."

These treasure-hunting gangs all had criminal records on their hands.

With a little digging, you can always find all sorts of charges to throw them into jail.

What puzzled Beidou was that these creatures usually operated in various ruins or were on their way to excavate ruins; there was no way they would come to this vast ocean.

This situation can only mean that something is unusual in the vicinity.

Chapter 11 Southern Cross, Dragon King and Northern Dipper >>

She turned her gaze out of the ship and keenly noticed that some broken planks were still floating in the sea, exactly the same as those carried by the treasure-hunting group.

"Wake him up."

Beidou waved.

After some gentle treatment, the group of thieves awoke from a fit of coughing.

"Sea...sea monsters!!!"

He instinctively screamed, his face showing fear. Only after realizing he had been rescued did he breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

"You encountered a sea monster?"

Beidou looked at him and asked.

"Southern Cross? Northern... Big Dipper Lord?"

“It’s me.” Beidou crossed his arms and scrutinized him. “We can talk about other things when we meet Qianyan Army. First, tell me what kind of sea monster you encountered.”

She set sail this time specifically to hunt sea creatures.

She wanted to see both the ferocious and terrifying sea serpent and the baby whale that saved the Thousand Rock Army.

Captured by the majestic Big Dipper, the members of the treasure-hunting gang recounted their experiences.

He didn't tell her about the Beidou Ruins, he just made up an excuse, but Beidou wasn't interested in that either, she was only interested in sea monsters.

"Boss, it must be that baby whale we heard about."

A sailor said in a low voice.

"Didn't they say that baby whale doesn't attack people?"

"Things at sea are as unpredictable as the weather. This isn't your first time at sea, and there's no use guessing about these things." Beidou waved his hand. "Zuoyi, take the small boat back and bring the news from here to Ningguang."

"Big Sister, why tell Seven Stars? Are we really not strong enough to deal with that baby whale?"

The Southern Cross is a fleet armed with firepower with the permission of the Seven Stars, and the Death Star's firepower is even stronger than that of ordinary official armed ships.

In addition, they are all experienced sailors. It is no exaggeration to say that the combat power of the Death Star is more powerful than the two Thousand Rock warships before.

Most importantly, we have BeiDou.

It's not even afraid of mountains and seas, so why would it be afraid of this mere baby whale?

People have reason to believe that even the most terrifying waves would bow down to this Dragon King.

"We can deal with it, but we can't."

Beidou gave a soft hum.

"Why do you think we happened to know about those two sea monsters? This matter hasn't even spread within the Thousand Rock Army."

"What do you mean, boss?"

"This was all arranged by that woman. She probably became curious about this human-friendly sea beast, and who knows how many units of Mora she's already converted it into... It's a deal, and when it comes to matters at sea, there's no one in Liyue more suitable than us."

"So that's how it is... Damn it, she's using us. Boss, maybe we should just ignore her."

"If we ignore her, what should we do with the goods we brought back yesterday?"

Beidou shook his head.

Upon their return from this voyage, Southern Cross brought back many goods from other countries.

Some things are not so easy to get into Liyue.

Not only are the procedures troublesome, but you also have to pay extra. The worst thing is that the authorities deliberately make things difficult for you.

That's why Beidou said it was a deal: she would solve Ningguang's problem with the sea monsters, and Ningguang would solve her problem with getting the goods into the port.

Although neither of them said it outright, their long-standing rivalry was an open secret.

Liyue is a trading capital, where transactions happen constantly.

Of course, Beidou itself is also very interested in so-called sea monsters.

Given her personality, she would never give in if she truly disliked something.

Ningguang had anticipated this.

"Let's go see just how powerful that sea monster really is."

Chapter 12 Shipwreck and Treasure

"This is the third wave already."

At the bottom of the sea, Su Zhe lay hidden in a secluded spot outside the ruins, silently observing the situation inside.

Almost two days have passed since the tiger sharks appeared, and a total of three waves of mutated marine creatures have emerged.

The mutated tiger shark was the most formidable, and the only one that rushed in and then escaped.

As for the other two, one of them seemed to know what was going on in the ruins; he just wandered around for a bit, and left once he knew the other was still there.

The remaining one rushed in like a tiger shark, but it couldn't get out.

At this point, Su Zhe was certain that the guy inside was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

"It seems I won't be leaving anytime soon."

After returning from a hearty meal and finding nothing unusual, Su Zhe flicked his tail fin and flew away.

Make a note of this place; you should be able to go in and take a look after you advance to the next level.

"what?"

Not far after swimming out, Su Zhe spotted two ships anchored on the sea.

One of them was similar to the one I saw last time, but with a heavier draft, and it looked like a reinforced version.

The other ship was also armed, and after he got closer and took a closer look, his mood became strange.

"Why are they the ones?"

...

Are you sure it's here?

Beidou looked at the woman in front of him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

After encountering the treasure-hunting group last time, she immediately sent someone back to inform Ningguang, and then began searching for the baby whale aboard the Death Star.

Unfortunately, two days have passed, and we still know nothing.

Having just met up with Ningguang's ship today, Ningguang immediately brought her here.

The clear objective made BeiDou somewhat skeptical.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Ningguang smiled slightly: "How could that be? I just received some useful information before setting off."

Beidou said thoughtfully, "Is it someone from that treasure-hunting group?"

Ningguang smiled without saying a word.

"Wait, what if there aren't any members of the treasure-hunting group? Wouldn't you have made a wasted trip? That's not like you, or... damn it, you've tricked me again!"

Seeing Ningguang's expression, Beidou immediately understood.

She was already puzzled as to why the treasure-hunting gang would appear in such a place out of nowhere.

Even the mountains near Guyun Pavilion, if you search carefully, you might actually find some relics and treasures.

But in the vast ocean, if you didn't know the information beforehand, who would be foolish enough to come here to dig for treasure?

So, how did the treasure-hunting group know there was treasure to be found here?

The answer lies with this damn woman.

"Don't look at me like that. I was just trying my luck, but I didn't expect them to actually find it."

After speaking, Ningguang turned to her secretary and gave her a few instructions, who then returned to another ship.

Beidou watched her go, and after a while, two people dressed in light diving gear came over.

It's clear that these two are skilled fighters, likely well-trained members of the Thousand Rock Army. Ningguang has put a lot of effort into this plan, and naturally, she brought along capable assistants.
