Genshin Impact, the new God of Grass, makes Xumi great again

So even if there were mineral deposits, not many people would collect it before. At most, they would collect a little while digging for other minerals.

This means that if Xumi wants to roll out a power grid on a large scale, it must first find a way to solve the problem of the source of electrical crystals.

Whether we find a way to dig it ourselves or import it from other countries, we have to get enough of it.

"But I heard that someone from Liyue will be coming soon. Maybe we can think of a solution in this regard?"

Since she had been staying in Xumi City and keeping in touch with Nashida every day, Falushan was much more informed than Kavi who was away all year round, and she directly told him a piece of news that could be considered confidential.

"But we don't have much money to trade with Liyue. El Haisen complains about being poor every day."

As an engineer, Kavi knew how short of money New Xumi was. Even with the assistance of Zhidong, the gap was still large.

It would be fine if it was a small import in a short period of time, but if it was a large large import, Xumi's current finances might not be able to afford it.

We can't really use the harvested grain to earn foreign exchange, that would cost too much.

"According to Lord Grass God, she should have a way to solve this problem."

Based on some of the information Nashida had previously revealed to her, Falushan still had some confidence about this issue.

No matter how you look at it, our Lord Grass God can indeed use the power of rock elements. Maybe by making connections with the neighboring Liyue, we can really get some help?

Chapter 137: The Strange Hall Master and the Calm Guest

A long time has passed since the great uprising that shocked all of Teyvat. As the situation in Xumi has gradually stabilized, the commercial activities in the port of Ormos have gradually recovered from the smoke of war.

In the busy port, ships from all over Teyvat come in an endless stream, and the dock workers have returned to their former busyness, constantly loading and unloading cargo for the ships coming and going, using their hard work to work tirelessly for a foreseeable bright future.

Since the great uprising, the ownership of the Omos Port dock has been returned to the Xumi government, and the identities of these ordinary dock workers have also undergone a major change.

Today, they are all employees of the Xumi State-owned Port Enterprise. After being exempted from the profit sharing originally given to the terminal owners, they have seen a qualitative leap in both their treatment and labor security.

It can be said that the more you work, the more you get, and the more motivated you are.

"Look here, guest, is this the city of Xumi? It's very different from our Liyue."

On the deck of a Liyue ship slowly approaching the port, a chestnut-haired girl was yelling at the scenery of Omos Harbor.

She was wearing a brown and black jacket in the Liyue style, and a bagua hat with strange symbols on her head. Her beautiful plum-shaped pupils further reflected the unique eccentricity of this girl.

Judging from her excited look, this girl should be visiting Xumi for the first time.

"As far as common sense is concerned, indeed."

A steady voice came from behind the girl, which made people shift their gaze away from her and notice the steady figure.

Judging from their positions and temperament, it is hard not to think that they are a father and daughter visiting Xumi.

"You are such a great guest. This is the first time that our Wangsheng Hall has developed an overseas market. Don't act like an old-fashioned person at a time like this."

"As the saying goes, a smile makes you look ten years younger. Even old antiques can be rejuvenated."

Turning around, the chestnut-haired girl waved at the guest and began to tease this guest whose expression never changed.

But then, as the ship docked and the docks were lowered, the girl disappeared with a whoosh and rushed directly from the ship to the dock.

"Hall Master..."

Looking at Hu Tao who had already started selling set meals to the workers at the dock, Zhongli couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, feeling very helpless.

He really had no way to deal with this child.

"Master, there is no need to be so anxious about the sales. This is not Liyue Harbor, so it is better to be cautious."

Noticing the annoyed looks on the dock workers' faces, Zhongli didn't wait any longer and stepped forward to interrupt Hu Tao's rapid-fire sales pitch.

Although they came to Xumi this time on behalf of the Wangsheng Hall at the official invitation of Xumi, it is better to avoid such things as trying to sell a full range of services to anyone they meet.

Otherwise, if any bad reputation spreads, it will also be a loss to Liyue’s image.

Besides, as a senior, he still has to have some dignity in front of Nashida, a junior.

So he took the initiative to step forward and sincerely apologized to the workers who were unable to move the goods because they were delayed by Walnut.

"Why are the people of Xumi like this? This is a buy two get one free promotion, but they are so ungrateful."

After several workers left, Walnut puffed up his cheeks and looked at the guest who interrupted his sales promotion with an expression that said "I'm unhappy, please comfort me."

It was obvious that they came to Xumi this time because they were invited to open a branch. What's wrong with developing some customers in advance?

"Master, please listen to me. Our Wangsheng Hall has just arrived in Xumi and our foundation is not stable. We can still consider developing customers in the long run. The most urgent task is to complete the contact with the Xumi officials as soon as possible."

Using both reason and emotion, and without affecting Hu Tao's reputation, Zhongli began to persuade her to temporarily give up the idea of ​​selling her products on the street.

"And after the God of Grass regained power, Xumi also saw the emergence of many unprecedented ingenious things, which are really worth seeing."

In addition to persuasion, based on his experience of getting along with Hu Tao over the years, Zhongli also planned to use the various strange objects that had recently appeared in Xumi to attract Hu Tao's attention, so that she could temporarily divert her attention from sales.

Just as he was speaking, someone from the Xumi government came to see them.

"Hello, guests from afar. Welcome to Xumi. This is our Xumi's unique technological crystal void terminal. It is now distributed free of charge to all foreigners who come to Xumi. Please accept it."

However, it was obvious that these staff members had not been greeted in advance. After a few simple greetings and handing them the void terminal, they walked aside to talk to the next outsider.

But it was better this way, because for the two of them, they were not interested in the so-called treatment and false reputation at all. Instead, this equal arrangement was more to their liking.

"Oh my, this Void Terminal is really amazing. It actually has so many functions."

As expected, after starting the Void Terminal, Hu Tao was immediately attracted by the various contents on it and was amazed.

Especially after seeing the introduction sections to various places in Xumi, she almost immediately realized the business opportunities contained therein.

"Keqing, if we can advertise on the Void Terminal, won't our sales increase rapidly?"

With a roll of his eyes and a clap of his hands, Hu Tao directly put forward the bold idea in his mind.

As it turns out, even when Hu Tao first came into contact with the embryonic form of the Internet, the first thing he thought of was how to advertise his own Wangsheng Hall.

“Uh…” Zhongli was speechless. Faced with such a persistent Hu Tao, he really didn’t know how to respond and could only abruptly change the subject.

"Master, before we head to Xumi City, why don't we take a walk around Omos Port first? It's a good opportunity to experience the different cultural landscape of Liyue."

After saying that, he walked straight into the city, forcing Kurumi to keep up with him.

Now he could only pray silently to himself in his heart, hoping that this trip to Xumi would go smoothly.

Chapter 138: Apep, Addicted to the Internet

Deep underground in the Thousand Valleys Sand Land, in the palace of the Dragon King of Grass, a little white-haired girl in a lotus skirt was sitting on a golden throne.

Leaning comfortably on the tailor-made throne backrest, the little Loli was staring at the screen in front of her with excitement.

There is no doubt that, considering the surrounding environment and her appearance, this little Loli who looks almost exactly like Nashida is our Lord Grass Dragon King - Apep.

"Hahahaha, these mortals' thoughts are really interesting. What they say can be so interesting."

Ever since being rescued by Narcida, Apep has been staying in his own palace for such a long time and has not stepped out.

During this period of time, the void terminal left by Nashida became her only choice to pass the time.

At first she was not interested in this little human item and had no intention of using it.

But under Nashida's persuasion, she finally reluctantly registered an account for herself and began to be active in the void network.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t play it. Once you start playing Apep, you will immediately be addicted to the ocean of the Internet.

Because since she was born, she has either been snarling at her brothers and sisters or fighting with others. Apart from that, she has either been eating or sleeping. The first half of her life has been so boring.

After the war with Tianli broke out, she began to hide from place to place again. She was afraid every day that another nail would be dropped from the sky. Her nerves were tense and she never relaxed for a moment.

Later, she was plotted against by the Red King and swallowed a large amount of forbidden knowledge, which made her suffer from erosion all the time.

It can be said that her entire dragon life before being rescued by Nashida was a combination of boredom, fear and pain, which was extremely tragic.

It was only after she was rescued by Nashida and branded with Nashida's mark that she finally felt truly relaxed.

At this moment, the sudden appearance of the void terminal directly opened up a new world for her.

Through the void terminal, she learned for the first time that in addition to the boring primitive emotions of human society, there are also such colorful cultural and entertainment activities.

This made her feel very novel, and she changed from passively understanding to actively trying to get in touch with human society.

While learning about human society, she suddenly discovered an interesting feature of the Void Terminal - the online chat room.

Through this function, she can communicate directly with ordinary people in Xumi today and fully express their opinions.

[Great Grass Dragon King: Praise me! Sing praises! Is there anyone who doesn’t believe that I am the Great Dragon King?]

Among her favorite things to do is to show her supreme power on the Internet and attract a large group of netizens to call her boss.

The specific method is to directly and arrogantly insert into the chat group and say some words that seem incomprehensible to outsiders.

Then, when others questioned and laughed at her, she used the high authority given to her by Nashida to silence these people one by one, demonstrating her authority as the Dragon King.

After doing this for more than a dozen times, the Xumi people gradually remembered Apep's ID. Whenever she appeared in the chat room, someone would always post the slogan "The Dragon King has arrived".

This was very useful to her, and when she was happy, she would even post some lucky draws to show off her financial strength as the Dragon King.

Moreover, all the coupons she gave as rewards were genuine and usable. As long as one had the Void serial code she gave, one could really enjoy discounts when purchasing items in the state-owned stores in Xumi.

Of course, these coupons were all from the treasures she had accumulated over thousands of years, and not a single cent from the Xumi government was used.

According to the agreement she had made with Nashida, for every voucher she gave out as a reward, she would subsequently replenish the Xumi Treasury with the corresponding Mora.

In this way, in this process, Apep gained happiness, the official enriched the treasury, the lucky netizens got discounts, and the GDP of Xumi country increased. It was really a win-win situation, a great win.

[Lord Grass God is the cutest: Since Lord Dragon King is so great, who is stronger between Lord Little Grass King and Lord Dragon King? ]

However, during this period of time together, netizens also discovered a weak spot of Apep, which is Lord Grass God.

For some reason, as if he was afraid or had some unspeakable secret, whenever people mentioned the comparison between the Grass God and Apep, Apep always said some nonsense.

For example, what does losing to Cao Shen mean? She ambushed me, an old comrade, and I will definitely get back at her.

Then the netizens would burst into laughter and remind Apep before she lost her temper that criticizing Cao Shen might result in a ban.

In this situation, Apep will either get angry and send a mute package to all netizens one by one; or he will choose appeasement and send more coupons to shut everyone up.

And this time, Apep obviously chose the former.

"You damned ants, how dare you tease me every day? I will ban you one by one!"

With his little hand hammering on the armrest beside him, Apep gritted his teeth and banned all the netizens who had just spoken, and once again sent Nashida a request to expand her authority.

With her current authority, the maximum ban she can get is a week, which has no deterrent effect at all. Her authority must be increased!

"Huh~ Humans from foreign countries are more likable."

After doing all this, Apep closed the public chat room window and opened a private chat room instead.

[The Great Grass Dragon King: How are you doing, little one? How is your rest? How long will it take for you to come to Xumi City? ]

This was a foreign visitor whom she had met in the chat room not long ago. Since his quirky personality was very much to her liking, she added him as a friend.

From the conversation, she learned that the other party came to Xumi to discuss business matters and was currently taking a short break in the port of Omos.

[The best limerick in Liyue Harbor: Oh, don’t mention it. My old antique went out again. I don’t know where he went to drink tea or watch a play. ]

At this moment, on the streets of Port Omos, Walnut, holding the Mantle Staff, was looking for his guest in the crowd.

They had originally agreed to take a short rest before setting off for Xumi City, but Zhongli ended up getting up early every morning and running outside, even claiming that he was observing the social changes in Xumi, which made her very angry.

She is not allowed to expand her business here, and yet she has to run around everywhere every day and receive a lot of bills. How can she not be angry?

So, this morning, after Zhongli left the hotel, she immediately followed him secretly, trying to catch him in the act when he was making large purchases.

[The Great Grass Dragon King: If you plan to come to Xumi City in the future, please let Sister Apep know. I will see if I can send someone to pick you up.]

Apep was willing to put a little more thought into this Liyue netizen who was very much to her liking. After all, for her, she was free anyway, so she might as well find something to do.

[The best limerick in Liyue Harbor: Then I’ll leave it to Sister Apep. Sister Apep is the best. ]

Looking at the message sent by the other party, Apep's mouth curled up into a smile and he was in a very good mood.

But before she could figure out how to respond, a sudden violent energy wave came from a distance, causing her to raise her head.

She focused her eyes and expanded her perception outward, and soon found the source of the energy fluctuation.
