Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

The sun was shining brightly, and he squinted as he basked in the sun. Ba Che brought over a plate of fruit, peeled it, and fed the fruit.

Hmm, let's wait and see.

...

The young master has been feeling very depressed lately.

Since receiving the Empress's order, he went to the Su family three times! Three times! And each time, a girl with long blue hair told him, "My husband said he's not here."

The young master immediately became displeased. "Your husband told you he's not here, so doesn't that mean he is?"

What's even more infuriating is that the woman had a smile on her face. Was she deliberately mocking him?

If it weren't for the thought of the sheer number of fines recently accumulating, causing Northern Bank to run into financial difficulties, he would have flipped the table immediately.

Helpless, the young master had no choice but to find another way and went to Zhongli for help.

After all, Zhong Li and Su Zhe have a good relationship; the three of them are 'good brothers' who have shared drinks at the same dinner table. This little favor shouldn't be difficult for them.

With the intention of incidentally preparing Zhongli to become a member of the Fools, the young master visited Zhongli three times in a row, for food, drink, and whoring... ah no, not really, just for eating, drinking, and buying some gifts.

As a result, Zhongli would always finish eating and playing without a care in the world, and then leave without paying any attention to the things he mentioned.

Mr. Zhongli, that's not fair of you. There's a saying in Liyue, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding, and he who takes another's money is bound to do his bidding." Why doesn't that apply to you? What happened to your supposed spirit of contract?

Little did he know, Zhong Li was also waiting for Su Zhe to make his move.

The Fools' intentions were obvious. Although others didn't know, Zhongli believed Su Zhe did.

Now that they know, they should be taking action soon... right?

Su Zhe's movements.

Day 1: At Heyu Teahouse, we listened to Yun Jin sing opera and had a pleasant conversation with her. We also had dinner together in the evening.

Day 2: I walked the birds on the Jade Capital Terrace, and in the afternoon I went to the lotus pond to feed the fish and chased away three couples.

Day 3: I walked from Feiyunpo to Chihuyan with Shenhe, and then walked back from Chihuyan. The meaning of this is unclear.

Day 4: Water sprays outside Liyue Harbor.

Zhongli was very depressed, even more so than the young master.

When Liyue was first established, he worked from morning till night every day, worrying himself sick for the people of Liyue.

Then look at Su Zhe, what's going on?

Seeing Su Zhe slacking off every day, Zhong Li felt that this couldn't go on.

Although Liyue is entering an era of 'rule by man', that doesn't mean the Geo Archon will do nothing!

Only by fully understanding the situation in all areas of Liyue and clearly identifying the problems that exist in Liyue can we better fulfill the duties of the gods.

In other words, Su Zhe can rest, but not now.

Seeing that things couldn't go on like this, and with the Wangsheng Hall holding a big promotional event, Hu Tao wanted Su Zhe, an honorary guest elder, to come and help out. So Zhong Li personally went to the Su family.

My husband said he's not here...

Before Ba Che could finish speaking, he met Zhong Li's gaze and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation instantly emanating from his celestial spirit.

She couldn't discern Zhongli's identity, but the moment she opened the door, she felt as if she were being watched by some terrifying being. However, it was only for a moment, and the feeling quickly disappeared.

Zhong Li nodded to her, then went inside and pulled Su Zhe to the Hall of Rebirth.

"Why are they having such a big sale again out of the blue?"

Seeing Hu Tao bustling around taking care of things, Su Zhe was immediately puzzled.

"You don't know, this is a tradition in Liyue. Every year before the Summoning Ceremony, the business of the Hall of Rebirth is at its worst, but after the Summoning Ceremony, it immediately becomes the peak season."

Before the ritual to summon the immortals, no one dared to die. In order not to bring bad luck to Prince Yan, they held their breath and endured it.

After it's over, we won't have to hold it in anymore; we'll all just let it all out together.

So I've been very busy lately.

As Hu Tao spoke, she handed Su Zhe a banner, saying, "Help me hang it on the bulletin board outside."

Su Zhe unfolded it and saw that it was a special offer from Wangshengtang. In memory of the Emperor, the store launched a "One Family" group purchase event with discounts up to 30% off!

"..."

Is this something a human could come up with?

In addition to the "Family" group purchase, there is also the "Friends and Relatives Purchase," which allows you to buy for your relatives and friends. Even if you don't use the purchased items, you can keep them and use the vouchers to put them in your coffin later.

Su Zhe was completely stunned by what he saw.

"I don't think you can do it this way."

Su Zhe said to Hu Tao.

"What's wrong? We do this every year, it's nothing."

"So how was the result?"

"Hmm... so-so, it seems the 30% discount isn't quite enough."

“Q389 isn’t that problem.” Su Zhe waved his hand. “According to economic principles, a commodity only has value in the hands of the person who needs it. In other words, you have to sell it to the right person.”

Walnut ovo

Zhong Li asked curiously, "Where does this economic principle come from?"

He had never heard of it, but he was greatly shocked.

Because this simple sentence encapsulates the core concept of trade.

"I figured it out in my spare time," Su Zhe said without blushing. "I think the core of the art of trading lies in the relationship between supply and demand. There must be buyers for there to be sellers. Our Wangsheng Hall provides funeral services, so who needs funerals the most? Of course, it's the elderly. If you, the hall master, just randomly solicit people on the street, you won't attract customers, and you'll be disliked."

Hu Tao nodded thoughtfully: "Then what do you think we should do?"

“How about this, everyone in Liyue Harbor knows about the Hall of Rebirth. If someone is going to die, they will probably come looking for it themselves. So we can promote it in a different place, like Qingce Manor, which would be good.”

Hu Tao scratched his head: "Qingce Manor... seems quite good indeed."

"Also, let's skip all that 'one family' stuff and just do an 'insurance purchase' instead."

"Insurance purchase?"

Hu Tao and Zhong Li pricked up their ears.

"It's just paying a little money every year for insurance. No matter when you die, the funeral parlor will accept your case. If you don't die, the money won't be refunded."

"Wait, wait, wait, I don't quite understand your idea. You mean... well, he didn't die, so the money is ours?"

“Yes,” Su Zhe laughed, “It’s all about getting something for nothing, it’s a business of probability.”

Teyvat is a magical world, home to countless adventurous and spirited individuals. But adventure always brings danger, and nobody wants to end up dead in the wilderness.

In fact, the Hall of Rebirth had previously launched a pre-booked funeral service. After death, the entire continent would collect the body, whether you were in the mountains or the sea, or even inside a monster's belly, they would find a way to piece you back together and let your soul return home.

People in this world seem to care a lot about the idea of ​​returning to one's roots, but unfortunately, this kind of service is too expensive. Not only do most people feel it's unlucky, but the price also makes it prohibitive.

However, if the price is too low, the recycling cost will be high, and if there are too many troublesome funeral parlors, they will go bankrupt.

Therefore, this insurance purchase is very reliable.

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes blazed with anger. She immediately threw down her things and went to find paper and pen to make a detailed plan.

Zhong Li was a little puzzled. The more he looked, the more he felt... why did it seem like there was another walnut?

Hu Tao was a woman of action. Before long, she had developed a preliminary plan for insurance purchases. She then showed the plan to Su Zhe, and together with Zhong Li, the three of them set off for Qingce Village to promote their business.

...

"Once we get over this mountain, we'll... Whew, why is this road so difficult to travel?"

Not far from Qingce Village is Wuwang Slope. It was getting dark, and Hu Tao suggested taking a shortcut, but it turned out to be a cliff. No wonder Hu Tao didn't bring those ordinary ceremonial attendants this time.

With just a few people here, if something happens, there's no need to choose a spot; just dig a hole on Wuwang Slope and bury them.

Hu Tao is definitely fine; she's a hall master who knows 'martial arts.' Zhong Li is even better; although he looks slow, the old man has a steady pace.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Zhongli, it seems something has happened at Tianqiu Valley recently, are you aware of it?"

“I know a little.” Zhongli’s voice was not very inflected. “The old area is mostly mountainous. It is said that rock dragon lizards once roamed there in ancient times. These kinds of monsters live in rock strata, and powerful rock dragon lizards can easily cause earthquakes.”

Zhongli didn't intend to mention these things too much. Whenever he thought of the Rock Dragon Lizard and his friend born in Liyue, he had to drink a pot of wine to dispel his sorrow.

Suddenly, the sounds of fighting came from the woods below the hillside.

"Huh? It seems like someone's here."

Hu Tao waved to the two of them.

The three followed the sound and heard shouts of "Ha!" and "Ha!", which were quite powerful and familiar.

"flaw!"

A flash of blue light annihilated the enemy. The young master dispersed the elemental blades in his hands, turned to look at Su Zhe and the other two, and was somewhat surprised.

What are you doing here?

"Shouldn't we be asking you that question?"

Su Zhe looked around and realized that what the young master had just killed was a group of remnants of demon gods.

The young master shrugged: "My subordinates came here to pick raspberries, but they were attacked by something strange, so I came to check and found something interesting."

As he spoke, a smile spread across his face: "Su Zhe, Zhong Li, look, isn't it strange? So much demonic remnant has accumulated here."

Zhongli frowned, also finding it strange.

Su Zhe glanced at the young master: "Why do you look so happy?"

"Haha! Of course, these guys aren't enough for me to have a really good fight, but they're still pretty good opponents."

The young master had been feeling incredibly stifled in Liyue Harbor lately, and he was naturally delighted to finally have a fight to fight.

Enemy! Damn it! Enemy! Attack!

"Something is definitely not right."

Su Zhe touched his chin.

It's impossible to say that Wuwangpo is a clean place.
