Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"Let's go."

Su Zhe walked towards Yujingtai.

Shen He looked at him, his eyes flickering slightly.

She still hasn't learned to use this power for the benefit of others.

But for this person, she felt it was worth it.

Shen He quickly caught up with Su Zhe, and the two walked away side by side.

Not far behind, a pink-haired girl appeared, silently watching Su Zhe's back.

...

"So, the business opportunity you're talking about is this thing called 'chess'?"

In Ningguang's office.

Looking at the chessboard laid out on the table, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Is this thing interesting?

She was handling official business when her secretary suddenly told her that Su Zhe had arrived, saying he had brought a great business opportunity. Ningguang quickly dropped what she was doing and came over.

Then...

Hmm, this thing doesn't seem to have ever existed in Teyvat.

Liyue also has its own chess game, and she even invented one herself. It was a game that depicted the scenes of Liyue on a chessboard, including merchants, teahouses, shops, hotels, and general stores. Players would then use their own methods to manage the situation and gain more chips.

From a modern perspective, it's probably similar to 'Monopoly'.

However, Ningguang's rules for the game are numerous and too difficult for the average person. Those who like this game are mostly people interested in business, so the game sells well, but that's about it.

She had never heard of the 'chess' that Su Zhe mentioned.

If something has never happened before, that's a business opportunity, provided it's genuinely interesting.

"This is a puzzle game that can be used to pass the time, develop intelligence, and is suitable for all ages. It is easy to carry, simple to use, and has many other advantages. Of course, most importantly, it is fun."

After saying that, Su Zhe immediately had a big fight with Shen He to demonstrate to Ning Guang.

While fighting, he explained the rules of chess to Ningguang.

This thing is actually very simple, but chess is easy to learn but difficult to master. It's quick to get started, but it's very difficult to become a master.

Ningguang's expression gradually changed from initial confusion to surprise, and finally, as she watched, she became interested.

"I'll give it a try."

Lord Tianquanxing sat down with great interest and started fighting with the newbie Shen He.

Su Zhe had to admire Ning Guang's wisdom and resourcefulness, and she was indeed talented in this area, actually winning against Shen He in the first round.

"Life is like a game of chess, requiring careful management at every turn, especially in the business world. This game of chess is not a business, but more like a battlefield... Hmm, not bad~ I surrender."

Ningguang said with a smile.

"Right, and it's very easy to get started. Anyone can learn it, and I believe it will become a mainstream form of entertainment in the future. You can even use your resources to promote it, such as by organizing chess tournaments."

You're right.

With Ningguang's mindset, he naturally knows how to promote a new product, and chess does indeed possess the advantages that Su Zhe mentioned earlier, and it also has a positive guiding effect.

For example, using intellectual development as an excuse for promotion can be very effective.

However, to Ningguang's surprise, Su Zhe was able to come up with such an ingenious idea.

"Su Zhe, what's wrong with your brain?" Ningguang couldn't help but ask. "Or are all immortals this clever? Was that recent event launched by the Hall of Rebirth your idea too?"

Ningguang was well aware that the Hall of Rebirth had been making a big splash in Liyue recently.

When she first learned about 'insurance', she couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of the concept, and even quickly thought of applying it to other fields.

They were even more shocked when they learned that Su Zhe had proposed the plan.

“Oh, that’s true.” Su Zhe shrugged. “I just had nothing better to do than think about it myself… Well, I’m handing this chess idea over to you. Consider it my investment. I’ll take 40% of the shares.”

Ningguang rolled her eyes: "You really dare to ask for so many shares just for an idea."

"Do you want it or not?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ningguang sighed softly. "Su Zhe, if you were to become a businessman, I feel that you would definitely be one of the top ten richest merchants in Liyue."

"Forget it, I just need the money, but I'm not interested in money."

Ningguang remained silent. "Not interested? Then why do you want money?"

"Oh, right." She suddenly remembered something, "Get ready, Inazuma's diplomatic envoy is coming to Liyue in a couple of days, and she said she wants you to handle the liaison."

"Uh-huh?"

Su Zhe was taken aback. "Inazuma's diplomatic envoy? Who is that?"

"Son of the Eightfold God."

...

Chapter 20 Professional Legal Advisor Yan Fei, the Outburst of Yuanxia Palace

Upon hearing the news that Yae no Miko was coming to Liyue, Su Zhe felt somewhat depressed.

Why would someone leave Inazuma with so many other things to do and come to Liyue? What's going on in their head?

"I rejected her."

Ningguang added, then smiled and said, "I told her that the Great Sage of the Sea is the head of all the Liyue Immortals and is not in charge of diplomatic work."

Son of the Eightfold God?

That guy is not easy to deal with.

Although Ningguang had never met the other party, given her position, she naturally had an understanding of important figures from various countries.

As far as she knew, Yae no Miko held the position of priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, often wandered among the food stalls in Inazuma, and was extremely fond of reading light novels, making her a 'lazy' person every day.

Of course, that's just the surface.

In reality, Yae no Miko is exceptionally intelligent. Although the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate have run into trouble, the Shabu Magistrate's reputation has remained excellent. The fact that Inazuma's situation has remained stable until now is largely due to her behind-the-scenes work; she is a true 'mastermind'.

Yeah, she likes to play dirty tricks, or to put it nicely, she's a strategist, just like her.

Ningguang had always been wary of this kind of person. Considering that Su Zhe had stayed in Inazuma for a period of time, the purpose of Yae no Kamiko's visit this time was probably not so simple.

"In short, you don't need to worry about this. Just know about it. You can even consider taking a long trip." Ningguang blinked. "After all, immortals come and go without a trace. That's common sense."

"Haa~ I'll think about it."

Su Zhe shrugged.

He wasn't worried about the fox, but rather the woman standing behind it.

If that person comes, then he definitely can't avoid it.

Sigh~ Eternity, I don't seem to have any insights lately. What should I do? Maybe I should ask Zhongli what he thinks of eternity?

...

After leaving Tianquan Star Mansion, Su Zhe and Shen He strolled around Yujing Terrace for a while before heading towards the residence.

Ningguang can handle the chess matter; with her abilities, it will soon appear on the Liyue market. If sales are good, Su Zhe also has Go, checkers, and Ludo, enough to keep things going for a while.

Su Zhe has no interest in money, but that doesn't mean he's not short of it. After reaching the fifth level of strength, his daily cultivation speed has slowed down considerably, and there aren't any powerful sea beasts for him to devour. After thinking it over, Mora is the easiest thing for him to get his hands on.

"Huh? It's Grandma Ping."

Not far away, Ping'er, with a kind expression, was tending to a few glass lilies.

Hearing the voice, she turned around and said with a smile, "It's you guys."

Because Granny Ping was also near Jade Capital Terrace, not too far from Su Zhe's residence, they got to know each other after a while. After all, there are only a few immortals in Liyue Harbor, so they see each other all the time.

Shen Hechao's grandmother bowed respectfully.

"Shen He, how has True Lord Liuyun been lately?"

“Master is doing well. When I went back a few days ago, she even asked about you.”

"Hehe~ With Lord Liuyun's personality, she's actually more suited to living in Liyue Harbor. I've seen her wandering outside the harbor several times. Sigh~ These old friends, they all clearly want to come and see, but they can't bring themselves to do so. Really."

Grandma Ping shook her head with a smile. She knew those stubborn old friends too well. Take that bird for example, it had been at the entrance of Liyue for several times but hadn't come in.

She clearly loves Liyue and protects Liyue Harbor, but she pretends to be indifferent. In human terms, that's called being a tsundere.

In comparison, Grandma Ping felt that Su Zhe was quite good. As an immortal, he interacted with people naturally and was more like a human than humans themselves.

Grandma Ping shared the same idea as Zhong Li: the future of Liyue would surely be a picture of humans and immortals working together to move forward, and Su Zhe's role in that would be crucial.

"Speaking of which, my child just came back a few days ago. You can get to know him sometime."

Su Zhe asked doubtfully, "Is it Yan Fei?"

“Oh? You know about her too? That’s perfect. After Yanfei was born, her parents entrusted her to me to take care of. Although she is a half-immortal, she is closer to humans. You and she should have common topics to talk about.”

Su Zhe smiled and responded. He was quite familiar with Yan Fei. Putting aside her status as a half-immortal, she was a very powerful fire damage dealer in the game, and at only four stars, she was easy to develop.

However, Yanfei's fame does not stem from her strength, but from her reputation: Luo Xiang, the great lawyer of Liyue, and Zhang San, the outlaw who is an enemy for life.

Besides that, another impressive thing is his character illustration with green onions stuck in his ears.

After chatting with Grandma Ping for a bit, Su Zhe and Shen He continued walking back. Before they even reached the door, they saw Youla chatting with a pink-haired girl in the distance.

...

"...Then, when I returned from my studies in Fontaine, I heard about what happened in Liyue Harbor. Ugh! The Emperor has actually passed away. I can't believe it. I went to tell my grandmother, and she comforted me, saying it's okay. Even if the Emperor is gone, Liyue won't be in chaos."

"I've heard about the Lonely Cloud Pavilion. I've heard my grandmother talk about the Vortex Demon God Oser. He was an extremely powerful being during the Demon God War. I never imagined that an immortal could defeat him!"

Outside the Su family mansion, a pink-haired girl kept chatting with Yura. Judging from her tone and expression, she was a very energetic girl.

Across from her, Miss Wave Knight was also pretending to be indifferent.

"So you're here to see Su Zhe?" she asked Yan Fei. "Unfortunately, he just went out."

"No, I came to find you."

"Find me?"
