Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

"Who knows? But Li Ye never thinks in the usual way when it comes to problems."

"The bigger the commotion, the easier it is for the 'Northern Bank' to cause trouble in secret. Li Ye is not unaware of this; since he dared to do this, he must have a way to deal with it."

"I heard that Li Ye has acquired an astrologer, so he probably has enough confidence to do this."

"Divination is merely an external force. If a single astrologer could bring down the 'Northern Bank,' it wouldn't have been able to lord it over Liyue for so many years."

On a floating rock, six or seven people gathered together chatting. They were all elites of the "Fallen Feather Chamber of Commerce" and had come on behalf of the Chamber to investigate "Wanmin Bank" to see if it was truly worthwhile to cooperate with it in depth. There were many similar cases.

Just as they were about to reach Tiger Rock, the person looking out the window seemed to see something and suddenly exclaimed in surprise. The others followed the person's gaze and were also shocked.

Above the Tiger-Eating Rock, a huge model, over fifty meters long and exquisitely crafted, floated.

That's a dragon!

Its golden scales shimmered in the sunlight, and its five enormous claws, each larger than an adult, seemed capable of tearing a person to shreds with the slightest force.

A pair of majestic dragon eyes that exude an invisible pressure even from a thousand meters away, making people afraid to look directly at them;

Its claws were waving, its eyes were turning, it seemed like a demon god descending, or a celestial being appearing in the world, hovering in the heavens, looking down on all living beings.

"Holy crap! What is this?"

"Alive or dead? Who did this?"

"It must have been Li Ye who did this!"

"This thing is called a dragon. It looks a bit like Lord Rock. I remember it very well."

"Now that you mention it, I remember reading in the Wanmin Daily that someone had seen something like this in Jueyun Mountain, but whether it's true or not is unknown."

These people were all business elites, and they immediately understood that the dragon must have been created by Li Ye.

If nothing unexpected happens, the shape of this dragon will become the unique symbol of "Wanmin Money House"!

They had thought that since today was the official opening day of "Wanmin Bank", Li Ye would definitely come up with all sorts of ways to make "Wanmin Bank" leave an indelible impression on people, but they never expected that he would take such an incomprehensible approach.

"Li Ye is too...too generous!"

"How many Mora did he spend on this dragon? 100,000? 500,000? Or 1 million?"

"I don't know, but I do know that no matter how much money Li Ye spent, or whoever came to Chihu Rock, they would never forget this behemoth!"

"I believe that tomorrow, no! This noon, the rest of Liyue will be talking about this dragon, and then, incidentally, about Li Ye's money exchange!"

“I used to think that although Li Ye’s reputation was almost universally known in Liyue Harbor, people only cared about him as a person, not about his businesses.”

Or rather, what everyone is paying attention to are his charitable businesses, while hardly anyone mentions Jiaxuan Teahouse.

However, what no one expected was that Li Ye, with just this one move, completely linked himself with the money exchange; this guy was simply a business genius.

Inside the floating stone, the elites who had been discussing things calmly all went into a frenzy after seeing the enormous five-clawed golden dragon.

What they saw was not a huge model, but a completely new and unimaginable marketing approach!

Regardless, in the eyes of these inspection teams, Li Ye's preemptive strike was absolutely perfect.

Even today, Yunhan Society's free performance cannot steal the attention from "Wanmin Money Shop"!

Unlike these business elites, the ordinary people of Liyue don't consider these things at all.

Upon seeing the dragon, some were too frightened to move, some shouted excitedly, some were so shocked that their heads tingled, and many more stood there in a daze.

Some Liyue people even worship the dragon devoutly, regarding it as a deity.

After the initial shock subsided, discussions erupted from the noisy crowd.

This is incredible! Can someone tell me if this lifelike dragon is really just a giant model?

"Mommy, Mommy, what's that?"

"Mom... doesn't know..."

"Will it eat us?"

Whenever this kind of conversation occurs in a crowd, someone will always say, "No, it will only protect us all, just like the Rock Lord and the immortals."

Is that so? The child didn't understand, but in his young mind, a belief was unintentionally planted: this giant dragon was just like the Rock King and the immortals.

That's true. This dragon looks somewhat like the Rock Lord's doll. Could it be that this dragon is the Rock Lord's child? Or perhaps his brother?

Children are always innocent and prone to making associations.

On the other side, Feng Yan, who was leading the Qianyan Army to maintain order outside, looked up at the floating dragon and a crazy and daring idea popped into his mind.

This giant dragon bears a striking resemblance to the Rock Lord. Considering that Mr. Li is very likely to be the new generation of the Rock God, could this giant dragon actually be Mr. Li's true form?

As the successor of Prince Yan, Boss Li also has a special relationship with Prince Yan.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

Inside the "Wanmin Money Shop," Li Ye looked up at the giant dragon floating in the sky, inwardly praising "Shen He"... Shen He's master's craftsmanship.

In less than three months, they were able to create such a high level of completion; it would be amazing even on Earth.

He had already decided on the headline for tomorrow's newspaper: "Mysterious dragon appears, or is it intricately related to Lord Rock?"

Of course, Li Ye probably never imagined that his proudest achievement would inadvertently lead him to recognize a father.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Preparing for the On-site Meeting

While waiting for the opening ceremony, Li Ye noticed a message on his phone. He took it out and saw that it was from Ke Qing in the group chat.

"Beef Offal Chef": "Hey, hey, hey, is anyone eating at Huyan? Did you see that? Li Ye actually made a giant dragon in the sky!"

"Li Ye, how did you create that giant dragon? Why were you the one greeting everyone before?"

Ke Qing thought that "Northern Bank" would definitely cause trouble during the day, and that her arrival might be able to help Li Ye out of the predicament.

However, as soon as she arrived at Tiger Rock, she was immediately startled by the giant dragon.

Ke Qing never expected that Li Ye would go to such lengths to promote "Wanmin Bank". It was such a pleasant surprise.

"Guest of the Hall of Rebirth": "From a general theoretical point of view, he certainly exudes majesty."

Zhongli, who was strolling around Hu Tao's place while eating at Huyan, was very pleased when he saw the giant dragon circling in the sky.

Whether from an aesthetic or majestic perspective, this mysterious, never-before-seen creature is perfect.

He even wanted someone to put a model of himself next to him so they could take a picture together.

"Liyue Rich Woman": "Impressive and unforgettable. From a promotional perspective, she achieved the ultimate in promotion with minimal expenditure."

I reckon that in the near future, quite a few people will be discussing this dragon alongside the Jade Pavilion, right?

Although the dragon model cannot compare to the Jade Pavilion, the iconic building of Liyue Harbor, in terms of influence and the sustainability of the topic, the problem is that the Jade Pavilion was built at the cost of countless wealth and effort of Ningguang.

How much money did Li Ye spend?

I doubt they even have enough money for scraps from the Qunyu Pavilion!

Fortunately, besides being a place to look around and live, Qunyu Pavilion can also be smashed, which made Ningguang feel somewhat relieved.

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "What? Everyone's come over to eat at Huyan? Kuaiyu, are you back too?"

The model of that giant dragon was created single-handedly by the 'great inventor' in the group; I never expected it to be so realistic.

The giant dragon created by Shen He's master far exceeded Li Ye's expectations.

However, considering that Shen He's master can manufacture mobile phones, it wouldn't be surprising if he could create a giant dragon model in a short period of time.

In fact, Li Ye had long suspected that Shen He's master was either an immortal or a special organization, but certainly not an ordinary recluse from the mountains.

The reason we didn't conduct a thorough investigation was because we didn't have the resources.

After all, no matter how much they doubt each other, can they just part ways and stop cooperating?

Of course, there was another reason: Gan Yu kept instilling in Li Ye the idea that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun was a tech geek and certainly didn't have many ulterior motives, so they could cooperate with him without worry.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this view. Unfortunately, as a tech geek, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, although he doesn't have any ulterior motives, talks a lot.

This is also why Gan Yu has never dared to tell Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun that she was right next to Li Ye.

She was genuinely worried that one day, when True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng couldn't resist chatting with Li Ye, he might inexplicably bring up her.

"The Great Inventor": "Don't be surprised, this is just a small test for me, there's no need for praise. Of course, if you can't help but want to praise me, that's perfectly understandable."

When everyone saw that it was made by the "great inventor," they immediately understood. After all, he was the one who could make mobile phones, so it was only natural that he would make a giant dragon model.

After sending the message, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun stared eagerly at his phone screen, waiting for everyone to praise him. However, by then, Li Ye had already changed the subject.

"Beef Offal Chef": "Yes, I'm eating at Huyan. Is Boss Ji here too?"

Kuaiyu had been investigating this Boss Ji, and finally, based on the clues provided by Li Ye, she found out about Wangshu Inn.

However, we haven't found out who it is yet. I didn't expect Boss Ji to come to Huyan today. I might have a chance to find out who she is!

There are only so many rich women in Liyue, and Keqing is confident that she will definitely get to know this Boss Ji!

Ningguang never expected that Kuaiyu, who had disappeared for so long, would actually reappear. She had been investigating for the past few days, checking almost everyone around her, but still couldn't find out who Kuaiyu was.

This made Ningguang realize that she seemed to have overlooked something, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. She never expected that Kuaiyu would walk right into her trap!

"Liyue Rich Woman": "I saw that huge model from a distance while I was eating at Tiger Rock."

Li Ye was even more surprised by the coincidence. Apart from Granny Ping and Shen He's master, it seemed that everyone else had come to eat at Huyan. Wasn't this a perfect opportunity to meet up?

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "Hey, is everyone eating near Huyan? What a coincidence! How about we meet up tonight?"

I've wanted to invite everyone over for a while now so we can have a meal together and get to know each other.

Xiaomei should be able to make some time tonight, I'll pick her up then.

"Guest of the Hall of Rebirth": "From a general theoretical point of view, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Zhongli wasn't interested in watching the spectacle; he simply wanted to know how Keqing, Ningguang, and Ganyu would react when they met in person.

Meet?

Ke Qing paused for two seconds upon hearing this. She wanted to meet him, but only secretly, and did not want to be recognized by him.

After all, Ke Qing didn't conceal her appearance when she met Li Ye. If Boss Ji is indeed one of the wealthy women he knows, she has most likely seen him before.

I need to think of a way to secretly find out Boss Ji's identity without revealing my own!

"Beef Offal Chef": "I think we should definitely find an opportunity to meet up and get to know each other. However, I may have some things to take care of during the day, so I'm not sure if I can make it tonight."

Let's book a meeting place first, and I'll let you know in the group chat later how things are going.
