I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

It was obvious that Ivan had calculated the losses for the Northern Bank before quoting his price.

He said he was making false reports, but he wasn't making false reports; he clearly came prepared.

Logan's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Holding the agreement signed by Logan, Ivan said with a smile, "Please rest assured, President Logan, we will send the funds over immediately."

Ivan left, and soon after, Xiang Feng brought a large amount of Mora cash from Huaxia Bank. When Logan received the goods, he discovered that this Mora cash was the same one that had been transported out from the Northern Bank before, and even the boxes used for transport were the same. He almost bit his gums until they bled.

This is the ultimate level of getting something for nothing.

At noon, the Northern Bank, having received the money, finally began processing the backlog of customer withdrawal applications. The Mondstadt residents who came to withdraw their money gradually calmed down after receiving it.

However, this incident dealt a fatal blow to the reputation of the Northern Bank. It was foreseeable that no one in Mondstadt would deposit money in the Northern Bank again, and the Mondstadt branch of the Northern Bank was declared bankrupt.

In the afternoon, Ivan sent people to begin taking over the various properties of the Fools in Mondstadt. By the evening, the takeover was almost complete, and all the personnel who needed to be removed had been dismissed. Logan, along with the unconscious Gob and a group of bank members, slunk away from Mondstadt. Now, only a small squad of Fools remained in Mondstadt as a symbolic representation, serving as the Winter's Kingdom's envoys to Mondstadt.

This marks the complete expulsion of the Fatui forces from Mondstadt.

In the Grand Master's office at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, Jean looked at the list in her hand with undisguised delight on her face.

"Importing ore, importing grain... the Fools have really vomited everything out!"

Ivan chuckled as he sipped his tea, "These things are now all under the name of China Merchants Bank."

Jean sighed: "Mondstadt's vital lifeline has finally escaped the control of the Fatui..."

Ivan said, "We have decided to transfer all ownership of these industries to the Knights. After all, Huaxia Bank is a bank jointly established by our two countries. If these key industries remain under Huaxia Bank's name, there will inevitably be gossip."

Qin smiled and said, "There's no need for that. After the Fools' forces were wiped out, these industries are basically in a state of emptiness. Restarting them would require a lot of funds. If they are held in the name of the Knights Order, the Knights Order would need to apply for funds from the China Bank, which is too troublesome. It's better to leave them in the bank's hands. Moreover, China has a very good image in the hearts of the Mondstadt people, so I don't think there will be any gossip."

Ivan nodded: "That would work too."

After confirming the issue of the Fatui's industries, Jean continued, "These industries will be developed in cooperation between Mondstadt and China. What are the plans?"

Ivan stroked his chin and said, "Currently, the two most critical issues for Mondstadt are the need to import large quantities of food and minerals. Regarding food, we still need to import from abroad for the time being, but we don't need to rely too much on Liyue now. China is also a major food producer, and importing food from China through the China Bank will be much more favorable than importing from Liyue. Once the first batch of experimental crops in the experimental fields in Springvale has made progress, we can try to cultivate land in Mondstadt for planting, and then ensure that Mondstadt achieves complete self-sufficiency within two to three years."

"Regarding minerals, we will bring in technical personnel and specialized equipment from China to comprehensively upgrade the mining industry in Mondstadt. Mondstadt is actually rich in mineral resources. If we can reduce the extraction rate and mine in batches, we can not only meet our own needs but also export them entirely."

"As for the transportation industry, Liyue is currently experiencing some turmoil, and trade routes are temporarily suspended. This period is a good opportunity for us to reorganize and modernize all the caravans in Mondstadt and develop new trade routes and transportation routes."

"Let Mondstadt begin its journey toward modernization."

Chapter 80 Immortal Severely Injured

A loud whistle pierced the clear sky over Tewat.

On the Shingu ship, Ivan watched as the transport plane slowly landed on the deck. Then the hatch opened, and several fully armed Chinese special forces soldiers escorted a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit down.

Ivan smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with him.

"Professor Tian, ​​you must be tired from your journey."

The middle-aged man's name is Tian Li. He is a geologist at Huaxia University of Science and Technology and is also the youngest recipient of the Spendoroff Prize in the world. This award is the highest honor in geology, and those who can win it are all top experts in the field.

"Commander Yi, hello."

Tian Li shook hands with Ivan, then said with a touch of amazement, "This is truly amazing. I never imagined there really was a new world. When the Security Bureau contacted me, I thought the new world was some kind of code name for a top-secret research project."

Ivan laughed and said, "Professor Tian, ​​welcome to Teyvat. We originally planned to have you come to Teyvat with the second batch of support personnel, but due to some special reasons, we had to ask you to come ahead of time."

Tian Li said, “Commander Yi, what are you saying? Serving the country is what we should do. We will come when called, fight when we come, and win when we fight. Besides, I am also extremely curious about this new world full of unknowns.”

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ivan took Tian Li and boarded the helicopter bound for Mondstadt.

On the plane, Ivan explained, "The transport plane that brought the professor earlier had other missions, so I'm sorry to trouble Professor Tian to transfer to another plane with me."

Tian Li smiled and said, "It's alright."

Soon the coastline came into view. Tian Li looked out the airplane window at the Mondstadt land and suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

"Judging from the terrain and topography of this landmass, there should be quite a few mineral deposits..."

Upon hearing this, Ivan burst into laughter: "Professor Tian, ​​this land is the border of Mond, one of the seven kingdoms of Teyvat. The most important task we have for you here is to explore the mineral resources in this area."

Tian Li nodded and said, "I see. This must be related to the international blockade against China before."

Ivan said, "Yes. If we want to completely break through all the blockades, the exploration of Teyvat will be crucial."

Just then, a high-pitched scream suddenly came from behind the helicopter, which could be heard clearly even by the crew members wearing noise-canceling headphones.

Tian Li subconsciously turned around to look at the back of the plane, and was shocked to see a blue-green dragon, hundreds of meters long, flying to the side of the helicopter and flying alongside it. Because they were so close, Tian Li could clearly see that a boy dressed in emerald green clothes seemed to be sitting on the dragon's neck.

Tian Li was stunned.

"this......"

Ivan laughed and said, "This is the Wind Guardian Dragon of Mondstadt, named Dvalin. As for the person behind it... he's a bard. I'll introduce you to him sometime."

After undergoing surgery in China, Dvalin was transported back to Teyvat with the fleet. He soon woke up from anesthesia and recovered well, without any scars on his neck. After communicating with Wendy, Dvalin understood everything that had happened. From then on, Chinese fleet aircraft often encountered Dvalin providing escort when carrying out missions.

Wendy, sitting on the dragon's back, waved at Ivan from the plane, holding up a half-empty bottle of beer, making Ivan both amused and exasperated.

Ever since Venti tasted beer in China, he has fallen in love with it. The beer that China previously released into the Mondstadt beer market has been almost entirely bought up by Dawnbringer Winery and Cattail Tavern. Recently, Venti has been frequently going to Diluc's place to mooch beer, and he has even been busking more energetically than usual in order to get some.

Dvalin followed Ivan's plane all the way to the skies above Mondstadt before disappearing into the clouds with Wendy on his back.

Watching Teyvat disappear into the sky, Tian Li remarked with some emotion, "Teyvat is truly a magical place."

Ivan laughed and said, "There are many more amazing things about Teyvat. Professor Tian will find out later."

The helicopter landed in Fengqidi, and Ivan and Tian Li got off and took a carriage back to the Monde Embassy.

After temporarily arranging accommodations for Tian Li at the embassy, ​​Ivan said, "Professor Tian, ​​we have a heavy task and a tight schedule. The exploration equipment has already been transported here. Let's take advantage of the good weather today and set off to conduct preliminary mineral exploration."

Tian Li said, "No problem."

And so, before Ivan and his men could even settle in, they rallied another exploration team of more than ten people and set off from Mondstadt without stopping.

Mineral exploration is usually a needle in a haystack. Under normal circumstances, prospectors would need to travel to almost every corner of Mondstadt to find mineral-rich deposits. But for Ivan, a veteran Genshin Impact player who has the map etched into his mind, it's not that complicated at all.

Ivan knew the location of almost every mining site in Mondstadt by heart.

Guided by Ivan, the exploration team arrived first near Wolfrun Territory.

Wolfrune is a region in Mondstadt with relatively abundant mineral resources, especially the gentle slope area between Wolfrune and Ciderlake, where there must be large mineral deposits underground.

Upon arriving at their destination, the exploration team hadn't even had time to examine the strata before discovering a large quantity of iron ore and crystal ore on a nearby cliff.

Tian Li put on gloves, used a tool to chip off a small piece of blue crystal ore, examined it in his palm, and then exclaimed softly, "I've never seen this kind of ore before. Is it a specialty of this world? Interesting."

At this moment, Ivan walked over and asked, "Professor Tian, ​​how is it?"

Tian Li turned his head and glanced at the surrounding environment, saying, "This is indeed a large mineral deposit, and there are at least two of them, one is iron ore, and the other is this kind of crystal mine."

As Tian Li spoke, he took out a detailed map of Mondstadt and circled several small circles around their current location in Wolfrune: "No matter what, let's set up the machines in these locations first and see what the surrounding strata are like."

Ivan nodded and was about to tell people to get off the machine according to the map when he saw Xiang Feng, who was in charge of perimeter security, running over anxiously from afar.

Ivan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Feng said anxiously, "Commander Yi, we just found someone on the outskirts. It's someone you know, but he looks like he's seriously injured. We've brought him back."

Ivan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "What? Where is he? Take me there quickly!"

Xiang Feng led Ivan back to the camp at top speed. The moment Ivan saw people, his pupils contracted.

"True Lord Who Borrows Clouds and Wind!"

At this moment, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was lying on the bed, his face pale, with dried blood at the corner of his mouth, and he was in a coma.

Ivan hurriedly stepped forward to check on the injuries of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and found that there were no obvious injuries on the surface of his body. He was obviously suffering from severe internal injuries. His breathing was intermittent and his pulse was weak. His condition was critical.

Without hesitation, Ivan roared, "Quickly, get back to Mondstadt immediately!"

Chapter 81: Stripping Naked and Applying Medicine?

Inside Mondstadt Cathedral, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun lay on the bed, his face pale and still unconscious.

Barbara's palm writhed with azure water elemental energy, which transformed into transparent ribbons that slowly wrapped around the body of True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng. Then, the air fell silent.

Ivan stood aside, waiting anxiously. Half an hour later, Barbara withdrew the energy that had been wrapped around Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and frowned, saying, "She suffered severe internal injuries. If she had arrived any later, her life might have been in danger. How did she get so badly injured?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. We found her near Wolf's Lair... How is he now?"

Barbara said, "I've already repaired her basic injuries, but she'll need medication for a period of time to fully recover."

Ivan nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you."

Barbara smiled and said, "Mr. Ivan, you're too kind. Saving lives is the duty of our church. By the way, I also need to get her some medicine."

Ivan turned to Xiang Feng and said, "Captain Xiang, go and help."

"it is good."

After Xiang Feng and Barbara left, Ivan looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and fell into deep thought.

What exactly happened to cause Lord Liuyun Jiefeng to be so seriously injured?

What exactly happened during the days that True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was away?

After thinking for a while, Ivan shook his head.

Without any clues or leads, thinking about these things is just wild guessing. To find out the truth, we can only wait until Lord Liuyun Jiefeng wakes up and ask her.

On the other side, Xiang Feng and Barbara arrived at the cathedral's pharmacy. Barbara took out a bottle of ointment from the medicine cabinet and handed it to Xiang Feng, saying, "She has several internal injuries that need to be treated. This ointment is made from lizard tails and ice mist flowers through alchemy. It needs to be applied all over her body twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, so that the medicine can be fully absorbed."

Xiang Feng paused for a moment, then looked surprised: "Do I need to cover my whole body with it?"

Barbara blinked and said, "If you feel it's inconvenient, you can leave her here and we'll take care of her."

Xiang Feng raised an eyebrow, and the image of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and Ivan sharing a room in Ivan's room flashed into his mind. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, how could it be inconvenient? We can take care of him."

He then put away the ointment.

After thanking Barbara, Ivan and Xiang Feng left with Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun. Since they didn't know where Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun lived in Mondstadt, they could only take him back to the Chinese Embassy for the time being.

Back at the embassy, ​​Ivan was about to arrange for a separate room for True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng when he turned around and saw several soldiers carrying True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng into Ivan's room under Xiang Feng's command.

Ivan rushed upstairs, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What happened?"

Xiang Feng shooed the young soldiers away, then took out a piece of ointment from his pocket and said with a meaningful smile, "Commander Yi, this is an ointment for treating internal injuries. It needs to be applied all over the body, once in the morning and once in the evening. It's yours now."

After Xiang Feng finished speaking, he stuffed the ointment into Ivan's hand.
