This heroine is so despicable

Xing's hand turned to the next page of the design drawing again - this was the last page, and it was also the design drawing that protected the most important part of the battleship.

"Master Ningguang, you don't have to bear any responsibility, because all of this is just my greedy demands from you..."

The last page is the most important power propulsion device.

The most sophisticated and important propellers and active rudders are here, and they have probably never been explored since this battleship was designed.

Xing suppressed his inner excitement and ignored the excited shouts of the narrator. He absorbed himself in learning the essence of the design, carefully copying, depicting and rewriting it.

After a while, she was able to sense the encrypted information in the design drawing and couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised again.

"Oh my! Lady Ningguang really hasn't shared it with anyone else. Then... have you secretly developed it yourself before?"

Ningguang suppressed her trembling:

"No...no...how could such a thing be possible..."

"Really? I don't believe it. Look..."

Xing's exquisite copying had perfectly copied the design. Perhaps because her index and middle fingers had accidentally rubbed against the paper for too long, her fingertips had been accidentally stained with some slippery ink.

When Ningguang saw the stars being shown to her, her face immediately turned even redder. Perhaps it was because she had not expected that the printing on her pages would be so poor.

With a hint of curiosity, Xing deliberately tasted the ink on her finger, and Ningguang, who was standing beside her, quickly pulled her hand:

"Wait! Dirty! W-What are you thinking about!?"

Xingcai ignored Ningguang's embarrassment and commented seriously:

"It's not dirty at all, and the smell...is not what I expected, but I don't hate it."

"Don't make such a serious comment! You--um..."

I didn't expect that Lord Ningguang, who is so high and mighty, would be so vulnerable in private.

Xing turned sideways and changed to a more comfortable position, letting Ningguang sit on his legs. He put his hands completely into the design drawing and began another round of in-depth study and exploration of all parts of the ship.

In the following period, under the leadership of Xing, the two had in-depth exchanges and discussions on the development and design of the hull.

Although Lady Ningguang was a little nervous at the beginning, after gradually getting into the mood, the two of them continued to strengthen their communication and speak freely to each other, and the atmosphere on the scene became relaxed and warm.

In order not to disturb Ying and Paimeng's rest, the two moved their workplace to Ningguang's bedroom, so that Xing could broaden his thinking and find the right direction in his subsequent work.

Through joint learning and in-depth discussions, Xing took more forceful measures and a more pragmatic style, worked harder and persevered, and helped Lord Ningguang to reach new levels again and again in his work tonight.

Congratulations, congratulations!

Volume 117: Under the Sun: Lantern Festival

The next day, Ying slept until she woke up naturally and found that it was almost noon when she woke up. After all, she was a guest in someone's home, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But when she got up, Ying realized that it was not just her who had overslept, Xing and Ningguang had also overslept.

The former was fine, but the impression left on her by the latter was that he didn't seem like the type of person who would sleep in.

And...they both seemed particularly sleepy—even though they had slept for so long.

"what……"

Xing yawned while eating something that he didn't know whether it was breakfast or lunch, and explained to Ying:

"I suddenly had a good idea with Ningguang last night, but we accidentally discussed it too late."

"A good idea?"

"Yes!"

So Xing told Yingmei about the idea of ​​the Starlight Floating Battleship, and the latter and Paimon were stunned.

"Then...if we have a ship like this, wouldn't we be able to go anywhere in the world?" Paimon asked.

Xing suddenly remembered the island floating in the sky of this continent... Could it be...

[I don’t think it’s a good idea to approach that place rashly…]

The narrator's voice seemed particularly weak today, as if he was very tired.

[Who do you think did it? ]

At this time, Ningguang also responded to Paimon's words:

"Unfortunately, this ship is intended to be a weapon, so I think it will stay in Liyue most of the time even after it is completed. If it rashly enters another country's airspace, it will cause a serious diplomatic incident."

Xing drank some soy milk and shrugged:

"I think Dongzhi should consider sending the Starlight to circle around their border a few times, so that those Fatui won't come to cause trouble every other day."

[Gunboat diplomacy, huh? Don't forget that there are gods in this world. Be careful that someone will really poke you down with a bamboo pole.]

Although he really wanted to continue playing with Ying, Xing, who was a little exhausted physically and mentally, still rested until the afternoon before he recovered and found Ying, who was invited to visit the Death Star.

The Death Star was now quietly anchored in the harbor. Except for a small number of crew members who stayed on duty, most of the people had returned to shore.

When Xing arrived, Beidou was teaching Ying how to drive a combat boat - a small boat that looked very small but was extremely flexible. It was obvious that they were usually hung on the side of the ship like lifeboats and would be released when encountering situations.

[So this Death Star is actually an "aircraft carrier"? ]

Xing couldn't help but think of the star rafts on the fairy boat. The style of that thing was very suitable for Liyue. If a few of them could be put on the future Starlight, wouldn't the Starlight also be able to become an aircraft carrier?

Just as Xing was thinking, a voice came from the side:

"I suppose you are the new friend that Captain Beidou mentioned?"

Xing turned around and saw a white-haired boy with a tuft of red hair on his head. Although the style of his clothes seemed similar to Liyue's at first glance, they were also somewhat different.

"Are you...Inazuma?"

It took Xing a long time to remember this dress. It seemed that he had seen a similar style on that boy named Sanbing - of course, he had only seen these two Inazuma people, so he was not very sure.

The other party nodded:

"My name is Fengyuan Manye, nice to meet you..."

At this moment, Beidou and Ying also returned to the deck, and the big sister also formally introduced him to the two of them:

"This is Kaedehara Manye, who is currently wanted by Inazuma. Ah - don't get me wrong, he has not committed any crime. He is simply hiding from the shogunate because of the Eye Hunting Order."

Now Ying and Xing were a little curious - they only knew that General Raiden of Inazuma had issued an order to close the country and an order to hunt the eyes, but the specific reasons and the whole incident were still completely unclear. Now that there was a local Inazuma, they naturally had to inquire for information.

"So... why does General Lei Dian want to confiscate the Eye of God?" Paimon asked curiously.

Xing has more guesses:

"Could it be... because someone with the Eye of God started a rebellion and wanted to replace General Raiden, so she made this decision in anger?"

Manye shook his head:

"As far as I know, it seems that there is no reason. The reason why General Raiden issued the Eye Hunting Order seems to be that she hopes that Inazuma can get a better 'eternity'..."

"...?"

Xing and Ying looked at each other, obviously not understanding, and Wan Ye could only explain:

"I'm afraid no one knows what General Raiden really thinks, but... judging from the intentions understood and implemented by the Three Magistrates, General Raiden seems to want Inazuma to maintain a static state, unmoved in the long river of time, until 'eternity'."

Manye sighed as he said this.

"Perhaps... the general thought that the Eye of God would bring uncertainty to Inazuma, and the 'eternity' in the general's eyes could not tolerate such 'instability'... so she sent the Tenryo Bugyo to collect the Eye of God everywhere. Countless people's dreams have been sacrificed in this Eye Hunting Order, and some have even paid with their lives..."

I don’t know what Yingmei is thinking, but Xing is already beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.

She originally thought that General Lei Dian's order to close the country and the order to hunt the enemy was due to some deeper reasons, but she never expected the answer to be this.

[As the saying goes, those who fall behind will be beaten. Great, Inazuma can actually take the initiative to fall behind. From a long-term perspective, it is possible that gunboats will be used to open Inazuma's country in the future.]

"The general trend of the development of things is to move forward and rise. New things will inevitably defeat old things. As a god, General Lei Dian, don't you even understand such a simple truth?"

Wan Ye didn't say anything, just sighed.

Ying asked curiously:

"Then... no one resisted?"

"Yes, the people of Kaigi Island have formed a resistance army, and the war with Tenryo Bugyo has been going on for some time, but... the situation of the resistance army is far from good."

The star is a little strange:

"The rebels... General Raiden didn't take action? I heard that his fighting power is not much worse than that of Lord Yan..."

Manye shook his head:

"General Lei Dian has not yet made a move. This is probably the biggest reason why the resistance army has been able to hold out for so long... But... I think even the majority of the resistance army don't think that anyone can really stop the general's 'Unthinking Sword'..."

[Hey, that may not be the case. If it were you... I'm afraid it wouldn't be too difficult.]

At this moment, Xing has subconsciously begun to think in his mind - anyway, he will probably have to go to Inazuma with Yingmei in the future, should he discuss it with Ningguang and take the opportunity to participate in Inazuma's internal affairs?

[Liyue CIA? And I don’t think Ningguang would agree with you.]

Yes, although Ningguang is a shrewd businessman, her shrewdness does not mean she is blinded by greed. She probably would not be interested in doing something that sounds dangerous.

Afterwards, the two curiously asked some questions about Inazuma, and as the sky gradually darkened, Ningguang sent someone to invite them to go to Qun Yu Pavilion to celebrate the New Year together - every year during the Sea Lantern Festival, flying lanterns would be released, and Qun Yu Pavilion would naturally be the best viewing point.

Volume 2: Under the Sun: Fainted and Digital

I just realized that I copied the wrong chapter when I posted it. I refreshed it and saw the new one.

Last night, the preview of Star Rail 2.0 excited me...

Everything is fine. The plot of 2.0 will definitely be very exciting. There has never been such a perfect start. It’s just... why is it Teacher Shaoji?

Moreover, he kept talking about being healthy, sunny, positive, and how Pinocchio was absolutely safe... If you trust him, you might as well believe that I am the emperor of an ancient country!

Add to that the disturbing details in the new PV... Ugh! I don't want to see his teeth! No need for that kind of thing! Let Bengtie remain a true light comedy for at least another ten years!

PS:

Regarding the chapter about group numbers, I just found out that it was blocked for some reason. I will post the group numbers in the thread later.

Volume 118: Under the Sun: The Faraway Star

As night fell, the lights in Liyue Harbor became brighter and brighter, and people had already lit up the sky lanterns one by one.

The largest of them is naturally the Julu Sky Lantern built by Yuehaiting. It is now placed at the port. Ningguang told Xing and Ying that this year's Sky Lantern commemorates Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun.

It was once one of the immortals of Liyue. It is said that during the war between demons and gods, Zhenjun used his antlers to support the collapsing Tianheng Mountain in order to protect the people of Liyue Port, but he shed his last drop of blood in the battle.

The people of Liyue believe that the lights on the night sea will guide the heroic souls of the past back home, so those lights also have the meaning of "may the torch be passed on and virtues will not be extinguished"...

Although Ganyu went to Jueyunjian to invite several other immortals, the latter seemed to still maintain some attitude and did not come to Liyue to participate in the Lantern Festival. It was only heard that the woman participated in the production of the Julu Sky Lantern.

Now, as the Julu Night Lantern slowly rose into the sky, after a burst of light, under the effect of immortal magic, it seemed to come alive and began to move its hooves. After circling Liyue Harbor, it continued to fly higher into the sky, and finally turned into a counter-flying meteor, blooming into gorgeous fireworks.

At the same time, countless small lanterns dyed the night sky into a spectacular picture. Even the stars who thought they had seen all kinds of scenes were shocked and moved by the scene before them.

"It would be nice if Xiao Sanyue came too..."

"……Um?"

Ying was sitting next to her. They had just subconsciously held each other's hands. Hearing Xing's subconscious muttering, Ying narrowed her eyes instantly.

Of course she knew the name Xiao Sanyue, a close companion in Xing's world, perhaps just like Paimon and herself.

Ying put herself in his shoes and thought that if Paimon wasn't there to see the scene, she would indeed feel regretful...

But... that's what I said, but at this time, you are thinking about another woman! ?

Fortunately, Xing reacted in time and tightened his grip on Ying's hand:

"I... I'm not saying that I would rather have someone else by my side! Being able to spend time with Ying... I'm already the happiest!"

That's more like it.

Xing looked at Ying who was leaning on his shoulder again. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he started to become distracted again.

But at this moment, she felt as if something hit her feet under the table.

[Wait, this feels like...]

Xing immediately looked at the people around him. Beidou was talking to Paimeng about something interesting, and there was no way they could be the two of them. Keqing was also talking to Ganyu, so the rest was...

Xing looked at the person sitting opposite her, who seemed to be admiring the fireworks without saying a word. The latter's eyes swept over her quietly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then, Xing felt the other person's feet rubbing against him gently, and even moving gradually upwards.

But... damn it!

As expected of Ningguang, her long legs are really worth it! She can even reach like this! ?
