Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Gold is the wealth of Liyue, the lifeblood that makes Liyue's heart beat. This is a sentence that the Geo Archon once said.

Ningguang's biggest task this month is to make full use of the golden period for trading and create as much wealth as possible for Liyue.

Controlling the flow of money with a wave of her hand is terrifying; the speed at which she amasses wealth is astonishing. Perhaps it can be said that Ningguang truly lives a life where millions are at stake every minute.

However, at the same time, she is the kind of person who will do everything she can to make a deal even if it only involves one Mora.

I want both the big and the small.

In her words, what's wrong with earning another mora?

In short, after observing these past few days, Su Zhe hasn't learned any skills; he's just become obsessed with money.

Seeing so much Mora flowing past him, Su Zhe was incredibly envious. Even though he had never seen Ningguang's vault, he could glean some insights from her daily activities.

Rich woman, I'm starving, time for food!

Su Zhe was truly hungry. With Ningguang's wealth, he might be able to break through to the fifth or even sixth rank simply by devouring Mora!

"Wait, wait, Su Zhe, you're a person with integrity!"

The next day, Ningguang gave him 100 million.

Okay, actually it's a housewarming gift, or more accurately, a housewarming celebration, since Su Zhe's new place has been decided.

It was a house with a total area of ​​over 1,000 square meters. It looked like a traditional courtyard house, with a corridor around it and a courtyard in the middle. The courtyard had artificial hills and a small river, and it was decorated in a very grand manner.

The house has two floors, many rooms, and is spacious. Most importantly, it has a good location, not far from Jade Peak and close to Moonsea Pavilion. It is located in the highest area of ​​Liyue Harbor, and every inch of land there is practically gold.

"Consider this 100 million Mora as a way to purchase your daily necessities. If it's not enough, just ask me for more."

Upon hearing Ningguang's words, Su Zhe felt his teeth go weak.

Damn, who could resist such a rich woman!

After Ningguang left to attend to her own business, Su Zhe called Xiaogong and began to tend to his fishpond.

Actually, everything inside was complete, including all kinds of furniture. Not knowing what to buy, I simply bought a lot of food. Even more outrageous, I bought a bunch of fireworks, saying I wanted to study them.

"Just don't blow up my house, it's a brand new house."

"Hehe~ Don't worry, it won't explode, I'm an old hand at this!"

"Then I'll go look around some more, do you want to come?"

"No, I'll wait for you to come home. Just remember to call me when you're ready for dinner."

Xiao Gong plunged headlong into the fireworks display, while Su Zhe shrugged and decided to go explore on his own.

Liyue Harbor is very large. The area I explored with Xiaogong before was only the left side. I didn't really see the dock area, including Tiger Rock.

Wanmintang, Wangshengtang, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce... Familiar places from my memory, one by one, floated into my mind.

Then, without realizing it, he walked to the teleportation point near the alchemy table in the game. Looking into the distance, he saw a familiar figure sitting at a simple table in a shop with a sign that read "Three Bowls Never Cross the Harbor".

"Mr. Zhongli."

Hearing the sound, Zhongli turned around.

"What a coincidence," Su Zhe said with a smile. "I didn't expect to run into you here."

"I'm a regular here."

"Oh? Mr. Zhongli actually likes this kind of place?"

To be honest, Zhongli looks like a noble young master from a wealthy family. His speech, temperament, and knowledge are all top-notch.

No way? No way? You don't really think Morax came here because he's broke, do you?

Zhongli said gently, "The marketplace also has its advantages. Although it is a mixed bag, there are unexpected gains that can be found by sifting through the sand to find gold."

"That's true."

"Su Zhe, what brings you here?"

"Oh, I moved to a new place, bought some things, and just stopped by to browse around."

Su Zhe sat down at the same table as Zhong Li. The shop waiter came over and gave him a menu. He scanned it and ordered two servings of sweet fermented rice balls.

Zhong Li seemed to want to say something, but didn't speak until the waiter brought the food over. Su Zhe tasted it and spat, "Pah! Where is this fermented rice wine?"

"Is this supposed to be plain boiled dumplings?"

But Zhong Li was eating with great relish.

“This wine has been diluted with water.” After taking a sip, Zhongli said inexplicably, “It doesn’t taste the same as before.”

There's an inexplicable heaviness in this sentence, making one feel sad.

For immortal beings, time is also a heavy burden.

Having witnessed so many lives pass away, walking on the road of endless time, with familiar people gradually leaving, until finally only oneself remains, this process is undoubtedly extremely agonizing.

Perhaps the very existence of time is the most terrifying wear and tear on a demon god.

Su Zhe couldn't help but wonder what the scene would be like a thousand years from now if he survived.

"Hey~ Mr. Zhongli, you're here again."

Then another voice came.

Su Zhe turned his head and saw an old acquaintance.

"Huh? Who is this...?"

The young master stopped in front of the table, and when he saw Su Zhe, he was stunned.

Messenger of the Wind God?

No, according to the latest news, it's Thor's messenger.

Wait, wait, how did he end up with Zhongli?

“He is my friend, Su Zhe.”

Zhongli said calmly.

“Su Zhe, this gentleman is Young Master, the executor of the Fools. Young Master is his code name.”

"Hey, Mr. Zhongli, how could you... Sigh~ Well, I can't hide it from you anyway."

The young master sighed, then sat down casually and smiled at Su Zhe, saying, "I know you have some grudges with our Fools, but we became friends after a fight. Compared to the ladies, I am... well, maybe not a good person, but I definitely don't want to be your enemy."

The young master must be careful, for he has managed to frustrate both the lady and the stragglers.

Although he also really wanted to fight Su Zhe, well, purely from a warrior's perspective.

Zhongli asked, "Do you know each other?"

"Haha~ I wouldn't say we know each other, but Mr. Su Zhe's deeds are widely known among the fools these days."

Su Zhe shrugged: "That's because you Fools are always causing me trouble."

"Hmm, you're right." The young master laughed. "Then, at least here, I'd very much like to become friends with you, what do you say?"

Su Zhe was somewhat puzzled: "I've killed quite a few Fools, don't you want to kill me for revenge?"

"For us, there is no such thing as revenge." The young master's eyes were clear. "By joining the Fools, every action we take is in accordance with the Queen's will. As warriors of Winter, there is nothing shameful about dying in battle against the enemy."

"This is our mission, and our destiny. But in private, what we want to do does not conflict with our identity. Do you understand what I mean? I will treat you as a friend as an individual, but when carrying out a mission, there will be no personal feelings involved."

At this point, the young master laughed heartily: "Just like Mr. Zhongli and I, you see, although Liyue doesn't like us, Mr. Zhongli and I are good friends."

As he spoke, the young master patted Zhongli on the shoulder.

The old man, however, had a very calm expression.

Su Zhe's expression was strange: "You two are good friends?"

“Of course, Mr. Zhongli is my best friend in Liyue. If I could add you, you could be considered the second.”

So you only have one friend?

"Ahem~ Don't, don't say that."

That was a bit of a blow; the young master was taken aback and it took him a while to recover.

There's nothing he can do. The Fatui's reputation is getting worse and worse. As an Enforcer, he gets glared at whenever he walks in Liyue.

In this respect, every time the young master saw Zhongli, he felt an extraordinary sense of familiarity with the latter.

“Alright, then we’re friends in private.” Su Zhe smiled slightly. “But on the battlefield, I’m ready to kill you at any time.”

The young master felt a chill in his heart.

He had no doubt about the truthfulness of Su Zhe's words.

And what happened? In the past, when faced with a strong person's 'challenge declaration,' he only felt a surge of passion.

But looking at Su Zhe's smile, he felt inexplicably uneasy, as if he were being stared at not by a person, but by a ferocious beast!

For a moment, the atmosphere at the dining table seemed to freeze, with only the old man eating the dumplings as if nothing had happened.

"Hu~~"

After a long while, the young master let out a heavy sigh, dispelling the chill in his heart, and his gaze became burning.

"Okay, me too. We're friends in private, but enemies on the battlefield!"

Fear and timidity can never help you achieve success, and the young master is well aware of this.

He forced himself to abandon these things, constantly walking under the pressure of extreme challenges, dancing on the edge of a knife, and growing at an incredible speed.

"Well then, I have something to do, let's talk again next time!"

The young master took a sip of tea, then got up and left.

Su Zhe has arrived; he needs to hurry back and think things through carefully.

"Young master may seem reckless, but he is actually quite shrewd. You should be careful when you associate with him."

Zhongli suddenly spoke up.

Su Zhe paused for a moment, then chuckled: "I can see that, but putting aside our positions, he's actually a pretty good friend."

Zhongli nodded and continued eating the dumplings without saying anything more.

After a while, another familiar voice came.
