Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Rather, if Ningguang ever heard Beidou praising her in front of others, she would probably think that the other person had lost their mind.

“Su Zhe is right. I specially selected the head chef this time. He did go to Inazuma to study. Considering that you just came back from Inazuma, some of your tastes may not have changed yet. Let’s try some Inazuma dishes with Liyue characteristics.”

Yoomiya devoured the tempura in a few bites, nodding repeatedly: "It's really great! This shrimp is so chewy and delicious, much better than the ones sold in Hanamisaka!"

Su Zhe's lips twitched. Girl, don't you even look at how much the prices differ between the two sides?

The cost of this meal could probably buy the entire food stall.

"Mr. Zhongli, what do you think? This is the first time I've invited you to dinner, so I'm not quite sure what your tastes are."

After glancing at the seafood feast on the table, Zhong Li remained silent for a moment, then picked up the appetizer next to him and took a sip.

lay down.

"In terms of craftsmanship, the dishes at Crescent Moon Pavilion are among the best in Liyue, and this meal was personally prepared by Miss Ningguang. I'm afraid there are few dishes in the entire Liyue that taste better than this."

After saying that, he reached out and picked up a piece of moon egg and put it in his mouth.

"good."

Ningguang smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhongli, please try this Mora meat. It's different from what we usually sell. I specially asked the chef to cut it into pieces and add some special techniques."

Zhong Li: "..."

Su Zhe wanted to laugh, but he had received professional training, so he couldn't.

Oh my god, Mora has been dismembered!

"good."

Zhongli took a bite, looked at the dishes on the table, but ultimately didn't eat the seafood. Instead, she picked at the other dishes one after another.

Seeing this, Ningguang suddenly understood.

It turns out that this guest of the Rebirth Hall doesn't really like seafood.

...

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

At the dinner table, Ningguang didn't ask Su Zhe about Daoqi; instead, she chatted with Zhongli the whole time.

Su Zhe initially thought she was joking when she asked Zhongli about the ritual of inviting immortals, but she actually did ask. Logically speaking, as one of the Seven Stars, Ningguang couldn't possibly be unaware of the procedure for the ritual of inviting immortals, since it had always been done that way over the years.

Huh? Trying something fancy?

The arrival of the Emperor is the biggest event; this is not the welcoming of a new emperor, so the gods naturally wouldn't like that.

So no matter how Su Zhe looked at it, something felt off.

As for Zhongli, regardless of whether Ningguang was agreeable or not, he would answer whatever Ningguang asked.

When asked about suggestions on how to improve the ritual of inviting immortals, Zhongli offered several seemingly good ideas based on past experiences with such ceremonies.

He was really answering seriously, and Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh, this must be the dedication of the God of Contracts.

"Miss Ningguang, may I offer a suggestion?"

Seeing that the two were having a great time chatting, Xiaogong couldn't stand it anymore.

Ningguang was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting this girl to be so enthusiastic. She quickly nodded and said, "Go on, go on."

"Since it's such an important festival, how can we miss out on fireworks? How about we set off some fireworks? Like during the Inazuma Festival, we can light the fuses at the most exciting moment, releasing everyone's passion. But here, right when the Geo Archon descends, bang! Fireworks explode in the sky, and all the people of Liyue cheer loudly, 'Welcome, Archon!' What do you think?"

Ningguang: "???"

Zhong Li: "..."

Su Zhe pretended not to recognize him and picked up a crab leg to gnaw on.

The entire private room fell silent for a while.

Under Xiaogong's expectant gaze, Ningguang coughed lightly a few times to cover up her lapse in composure.

She swore she had probably never seen such a 'daring' girl.

Zhongli was even more certain of his idea.

He can't handle this child.

"Um... the Night Palace, the Summoning Ceremony is different from ordinary festivals. It is a very solemn and grand occasion, so it is not very suitable to set off fireworks."

Ningguang ultimately rejected Xiaogong with 'regret'.

What a joke, she's in charge this year.

If fireworks were set off when the Emperor descends, the scene would be so spectacular that it might startle him.

"I see."

It was a great pity for Xiaogong.

Because of her outrageous remarks, Ningguang's plan to test her was also put on hold.

After dinner, Zhongli left alone. Ningguang prepared accommodations for Su Zhe and Xiaogong. Su Zhe didn't really need to worry about the things on Haiwu's side; it was just a matter of being connected. So Ningguang didn't even prepare a factory site for Su Zhe.

Anyway, he can stay here temporarily for now. After discussing it in the next few days, there's a high probability that a separate residence will be arranged for Su Zhe. As for the sea area east of Liyue Harbor, that's for Kyogre. It's up to Su Zhe's wishes—whether it's land, sea, or amphibious, it's flexible.

Before leaving, Ningguang mentioned the matter of Guyun Pavilion. She said that Su Zhe would definitely have to go and take a look when the Immortal Ceremony was held. She planned to take advantage of this opportunity to let Gyoka perform well.

Having taken the previous actions, if Georka can successfully subdue Bache, then she will have a reason to speak with the Emperor.

Messenger of the Wind God? Messenger of the Thunder God?

Hehe.

It's as if we in Liyue don't have any gods.

Her little... no, she's a giant whale now, she's definitely going to be the most dazzling star in Liyue in the future.

Speaking of which, how old is Kyogre?

Ningguang was a little puzzled. She had asked Keqing before, but Keqing didn't know anything about it, saying that she had never seen it even once. She was really useless.

Look at yourself, Inazuma, you've been gone for so long, what have you been doing?

Ningguang even suspected that Su Zhe might return even if Ke Qing didn't come back this time.

"By the way, starting tomorrow, you'll be working with me for the time being. I'll show you around Liyue."

Lord Tianquan extended the final invitation, then gracefully stepped into the night.

Su Zhe and Xiao Gong stood at the door until her figure disappeared.

“Su Zhe.” Xiao Gong suddenly tilted his head. “I have a feeling that Lady Ning Guang is interested in you.”

Su Zhe didn't say anything, thinking to himself, "She's not interested in me, she's interested in the fish."

...

"How's my workplace? Not bad, right?"

The next day, Ningguang specially sent someone to lead Su Zhe to the Qunyu Pavilion.

This luxurious palace, floating above Liyue Harbor, is magnificent on the outside and equally luxurious inside, yet it maintains a high-class style. You could call it extravagant and wasteful, but it is certainly comfortable to look at and even more enjoyable to live in.

According to Ningguang's introduction, the Jade Pavilion was built on the foundation of a huge floating stone, and its interior contains celestial talismans with stable power, as well as a considerable amount of firepower.

It is a super palace that integrates multiple functions such as residence, office, and armed defense.

When introducing the palace, Su Zhe could clearly feel Ning Guang's sense of pride. After all, the size of Qunyu Pavilion today was built up little by little by her.

Su Zhe stood at the edge of the palace, thought for a moment, and said, "Such a large palace, it must have a lot of impact when it falls down, right?"

Ningguang was momentarily speechless and rolled her eyes at Su Zhe.

"You have a really unique perspective on this issue."

Is this the demon's unique way of thinking? How strange, why would I smash it down for no reason?

It's impossible no matter how you look at it. Even if Liyue is destroyed and the Emperor is gone, her Qunyu Pavilion will still float in the sky above Liyue!

Chapter 5 How about setting off fireworks during the Immortal Summoning Ceremony? >>

"However... in terms of sheer power, it is naturally immense. The interior of the Jade Pavilion contains the core device that supports the operation of the palace, coupled with a high-energy power furnace. If it is destroyed from the inside, it will unleash unexpected effects. Perhaps half of Liyue Harbor will be destroyed if it is smashed down."

Ningguang smiled slightly, "This is a secret. I'm only telling you this, so don't tell anyone else, or I'll be in a lot of trouble."

With such immense power hanging in the sky above Liyue, it's like having a nuclear weapon hanging over the heads of the people of Liyue.

Although the Seven Stars wield great power, Ningguang's actions indirectly threatened the lives of the Liyue people. From this perspective alone, it was already an incredible feat for Su Zhe to believe that she could raise the Jade Pavilion.

"Don't worry, I won't tell."

Su Zhe smiled.

Then the day's work began.

Ningguang's daily work schedule is planned in advance, down to the level of detail, even specifying who she should eat with each day.

Although I had done this before in invitation events, it's still very different to actually handle things on the sidelines and immerse myself in the experience.

Even so, Ningguang still manages to handle everything in an orderly manner.

Well, in the middle of the night, her secretary told her that Ke Qing had arrived. Ning Guang left for a while, and the secretary secretly told Su Zhe that Ke Qing had been staking out the place since last night.

Su Zhe immediately realized that Ningguang had probably tricked Keqing by going to the appointment last night.

"Why is it that every version of the story seems to be persecuting Ah Qing?"

While thinking this, Su Zhe ate fruit, read a book, enjoyed the breeze, and gazed at the distant mountains and the sea. What a wonderful pavilion in the sky!

Damn it, what a depraved life.

I absolutely love it.

...

Over the next two days, Su Zhe stayed by Ningguang's side and basically became a familiar face in Liyue's high-level circles.

Everyone knows that Su Zhe is the honorary Sea Fog Commander, but only a few close friends know that he is actually Kyogre.

As the countdown to the summoning ceremony began, Su Zhe noticed that the entire port city was rapidly 'operating'.

The commercial and trade activities are extremely evident. According to Ningguang's veiled hints, the preliminary statistics of Liyue's revenue in this month of each year are almost 10 times higher than the previous month. One can imagine how great the impact of the arrival of the Geo Archon is.

This month is also known as the 'Golden Month' by the people of Liyue.
