Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

The "Eye of God" stole her pride; it was a provocation and insult from God. So for a time, she always thought about destroying the "Eye of God," but unfortunately, she never succeeded.

But... I bet not many people know about this, right?

"Liyue Rich Woman": "Why does Miss Quickrain know so much? Could it be that she has tried something like this before?"

When Keqing saw Ningguang's question, she immediately realized that something was wrong and that she had accidentally let something slip.

"Beef Offal Chef": "No, no, who would be so foolish as to risk losing the Eye of God? I mean, isn't this common sense?"

"Liyue Rich Woman": "Whether it's common sense or not, I don't know, but as far as I know, there really is a fool in Liyue who plans to throw away the Vision. The key is that we all know this person; it's Keqing, the Star Guardian."

Are you deliberately picking a fight?

Ke Qing was shocked. How many years have passed since this dark history? How come anyone still knows about it?

No, I need to change the subject quickly.

Before Keqing could even speak, Xiao, who had been lurking in the shadows, finally spoke up.

"Young and energetic guy": "Or is it because Li Ye lacks reverence for the Rock King Emperor?"

In Xiao's memory, the "Eye of God" was given by the Rock King Emperor, so isn't it natural that someone like Li Ye, who has no respect for the Rock King Emperor, cannot obtain the Eye of God?

Ke Qing, along with Granny Ping who was diving and True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng, all had the same thought when they saw the "energetic young man" suddenly appear: Who is he?

Why did he start by mocking the Rock King for being petty? There aren't many people in Liyue who dislike the Rock King, so how did Li Ye manage to find them all?

Gan Yu also felt that she had to stand up and vindicate the Rock King Emperor at this time.

"Unemployed Vagrant": "I don't think that's the reason, because both Mr. Zhongli and Yuheng Star possess the 'Eye of God,' clearly indicating that Emperor Yan is not a narrow-minded person. This 'energetic young man' may have some misunderstandings about Emperor Yan."

elf:???

It's not that I misunderstood, it's clearly you who misunderstood!

When did I say that the Rock King Emperor was narrow-minded?

Just as Xiao was about to explain, another message popped up in the chat group.

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "I thought you guys were talking about something else. After I woke up, I spent ages scrolling through the chat history. Turns out you were discussing why I don't have the 'Eye of God'."

There aren't that many conspiracy theories. It's simply because Morax had already been killed when I arrived in Liyue. Currently, a new Geo Archon hasn't been chosen, so there's no god to issue "Visions." Is that hard to understand?

When the people in the group saw Li Ye's explanation, they realized that's what happened. It was indeed not hard to understand, but something still felt off.

Now that Morax is completely gone, who is the one who sent us dreams?

Zhong Li, who initially thought the subsequent developments had nothing to do with her, suddenly felt like she had swallowed a bitter pill when she saw Li Ye's message.

He was already considering whether he should immediately carry the Dragon King Ruotu to the Winter Kingdom, ask the Ice Queen for the Heart of God, and make a "God's Eye" for Li Ye.

Li Ye didn't take the "Eye of God" to heart. He wasn't Pantalia, and he wasn't interested in whether God was interested in the gaze He was being shown to.

Similarly, they neither reject the "Eye of God" because they feel it is a gift from God, nor are they depressed because they cannot obtain it.

To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate;

Accept gains with equanimity, and accept losses with composure.

It's just a tool, why take it so seriously?

Thinking of this, Li Ye added another sentence.

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "Actually, there's no need to rush. When that guy who plotted against Morax inherits the position of Geo God by seizing the Heart of God, he'll definitely give me a 'God's Eye' instead."

Looking at Li Ye's guess, Zhong Li could only think: Boss Li, please stop using your supernatural powers!

Chapter Seventy: Everyone Has a Bright Future

Zhongli realized that if Liyue were to descend into chaos one day, the root of the problem would definitely lie with Li Ye.

Fortunately, when Tartaglia stirred up trouble in Liyue, Li Ye hadn't yet had time to climb from Jueyun Karst to Liyue Harbor. If those two had gotten together, who knows what kind of earth-shattering thing they might have done to him.

Li Ye, who had just woken up, sat down because it was a bit cold. He put his phone on the table, sat up, and curled up in the blanket, leaving only his head sticking out.

Hmm? This is Gan Yu's quilt?

Just as I was wondering, Gan Yu also came out of the bedroom.

Gan Yu had gone back to the bedroom to talk because she was worried about making noise and disturbing Li Ye. Now that she found Li Ye was awake, she took her phone and came to the living room.

Gan Yu poured Li Ye a cup of hot tea: "Have you had dinner?"

Li Ye: "No, what about you?"

Gan Yu: "I've finished eating. What would you like to eat?"

Li Ye: "Just make something light, then go rest after eating."

Gan Yu: "Okay."

Since living with Li Ye, Gan Yu has learned to cook several meat dishes, even though she still only eats a little light food every day.

It's unclear whether it's to accommodate Gan Yu's diet or because Li Ye himself doesn't like greasy food, but the two of them usually eat light meals and rarely consume meat.

As Gan Yu walked into the kitchen, Li Ye's attention returned to the chat group.

Ningguang and Keqing, seeing that Li Ye had woken up, naturally stopped worrying about the "Eye of God".

They were more concerned about the two messages Li Ye sent before going to sleep, and were frantically urging him in the group to finish what he had just said.

Even Zhongli is no exception. If this isn't explained clearly now, Ningguang and Keqing could probably fight in the void until dawn.

When Li Ye saw everyone asking questions, he repeated Xing Qiu's words to him in the group chat, word for word.

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "Look at this Tianquan Ningguang, he says he attaches great importance to it, he says he's going to hold a charity fundraising banquet, and he even says he's going to invite me over. No matter how you look at it, he's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, he has no good intentions."

Ningguang saw Li Ye's words and unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.

It turns out that Fat Tu bit the Emperor, failing to recognize a kind heart!

I put in so much sincerity, and not only did they not appreciate it, they even turned around and slandered me!

"Liyue Rich Woman": "Is it possible, I mean possible, that Ningguang really meant well, and this is just a guess, and may not be correct?"

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The "Wanmin Newspaper" plus the "Public Welfare and Charity Foundation" are coveted by any chamber of commerce, who would love to find someone to stab me to death and then take over themselves.

"Would Ningguang, as Liyue's most successful businesswoman, not be envious at all?"

Ningguang really wanted to grab Li Ye by the collar and tell him that she had shares in both projects, so why was she jealous?

"Beef Offal Chef": "Since Tianquan Ningguang plans to invite Mr. Li Ye to the donation banquet, it should just be a collaboration idea. I think Li Ye is overthinking this."

Although Keqing had some reservations about Ningguang, after learning the whole story, she was still very willing to believe in Ningguang.

Besides, I happen to be at Yuehai Pavilion, so I can go and sound out Ningguang's opinion tomorrow.

Given Ningguang's personality, even if she discovers that she is being tested, she certainly won't care. She might just make a few sarcastic remarks in return, but that wouldn't be a waste of her good intentions.

If Ningguang really had such thoughts, then I could stop her from putting them into action in advance.

"Guest of the Hall of Rebirth": "From a general theoretical point of view, it is indeed not appropriate to draw conclusions lightly."

Seeing Kuaiyu decisively change her stance, Ningguang felt much better instantly.

Although she rashly turned the blame on herself without knowing the truth, it is commendable that she was able to decisively change her stance and bravely defend herself after the truth came out.

Li Ye blinked. Could it be that he was just worrying unnecessarily?

"Who in the world doesn't understand Ye?": "Let's put this matter aside for now. Actually, I really hope that Tianquan Ningguang can cooperate in good faith. After all, having the Liyue Seven Stars' endorsement saves a lot of trouble when doing public welfare and charity."

As for the other matter of setting a trap for Yuheng Star, it wasn't really setting a trap; it was simply a win-win-win situation through cooperation.

Li Ye briefly reiterated his suggestion to Xing Qiu.

"Who in the world doesn't know the way of Ye?" "If you want to get rich, build roads first!"

My trade strategy is to integrate the scattered parts of Liyue and connect them completely.

The biggest challenges facing this plan are twofold: transportation and communication.

"Mora phones" primarily solve communication problems, but to improve transportation, the only solution is to improve the roads and address safety issues during transport.

Through my method, I persuaded the Merchant Guild to cooperate with the Liyue Seven Stars.

Once they've built a comprehensive road network in Liyue, it'll be our turn to reap the rewards.

Ke Qing ignored what Li Ye said next; she was considering the feasibility of the plan.

"Beef Offal Chef": "I feel that this plan is not very good. It may be okay in the short term, but in the long run, it will only make the people of Liyue think that all the infrastructure is done by the Chamber of Commerce."

Conversely, the Liyue Septate collects taxes but does nothing else, which makes the people of Liyue question whether the Septate still has any reason to exist.

Seeing Ke Qing's worry, Li Ye almost spat out his hot tea.

"Who in the world does not understand Ye?": "Liyue is a country founded on commerce. What do merchants value?"

They raise prices on the spot, then try to negotiate a lower price!

The Chamber of Commerce will pay for the road construction, how much will the Liyue Septally subsidize, and whether the Chamber of Commerce will be fully responsible for the road construction or cooperate with the Liyue Septally in its construction—all of these can be discussed!

When we go back to building schools and canteens, we will announce to the outside world that they are jointly organized by sponsors and charitable foundations.

If you want our foundation's help but don't want us to share in the profits, that's fine too.

"You'll have to pay more!"

Upon seeing Li Ye's explanation, not only Ke Qing, but everyone in the chat group was stunned.

This was truly the first time they had ever seen someone treat charity as a business.

So it turns out you can bargain about charity too. I've learned something new.

"Beef Offal Chef": "Then why didn't you make things clear when you were talking to Xingqiu?"

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "When you see someone doing business, don't they exaggerate their products to the point that they are 'rarely found in the heavens and hard to find on earth'?"

"When I talked to Xingqiu like that, I was just dangling a carrot in front of him. Who would be interested if the carrot wasn't big enough?"

As expected, you, Mr. Li, are a professional at making empty promises.

"Beef Offal Chef": "So what does the so-called win-win-win cooperation refer to?"

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "Is there any need to ask? Isn't it obvious?"

The Chamber of Commerce earned a good reputation for building roads; the Seven Stars of Liyue saved on Mora; and finally, it alleviated the transportation pressure when we were deploying across Liyue. Everyone has a bright future ahead.
