Originally, I was thinking of trying to reshape their bodies, but now, I have to hand it over to the Great Compassionate Tree King and ask her to think of a solution.

Looking at the new patterns on her dress, even though Nashida was the goddess of wisdom, she was speechless at the moment.

The grass, the yellow sand, the Patishalan, and now with the addition of a Libra, it’s almost full.

Harm~

Sighing and looking at the dark space around her that had returned to nothingness again, Nashida felt helpless.

After leaving behind enough power to maintain ten thousand mother trees and the nectar pool, Nashida withdrew from this space with the consciousness of Egolia and Ximog.

After completely taking over the Ten Thousand Species Mother Tree, she already knew that Ying and Paimeng had not entered the Ten Thousand Species Mother Tree at the beginning, but were directly teleported to the sea of ​​nectar flowers by the two predecessors.

Now that I have been missing for a long time, they must still be anxiously looking for me.

I just don't know how she will go to Fontaine after all this trouble.

Condensing a touch of pure water and feeling the breath of the orthodox "God of Justice" emanating from herself, Nashida couldn't help but have some interesting ideas.

Chapter 143: Small Steamer

"I didn't expect this Void Terminal to be so convenient. Guest, how great would it be if we in Liyue also had a Void Terminal?"

Closing the screen in front of her eyes, she leaned comfortably on the chair beside the boat. After so many days of baptism in the void network, Walnut couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, they were on an inland river steamer that regularly traveled between Xumi City and Omos Port. They were admiring the scenery of Xumi on both sides of the river and chatting about what they had seen and heard in Xumi in the past few days.

"What the hall master said is very true. The void has indeed brought a lot of convenience to the lives of the Xumi people."

Taking over Hu Tao's words, even Zhongli, who has lived for more than 6,000 years, expressed his appreciation for the various new and novel functions of the Void.

Look, based on her experience in Port Omos these days, Hu Tao has become a little dependent on the Void Terminal.

After all, for the people of Teyvat who have never been exposed to the "Internet" before, even if it is just a prototype, its attraction is unmatched by anything else.

Especially for people like Hu Tao who are already very active, the void can not only be used for entertainment, but also play some unimaginable role in their careers.

Take Hu Tao as an example. In addition to using the void to learn about Xumi and make friends online, she has also tried to use the void to find customers and promote the promotions of Wangsheng Hall in various chat groups.

If it weren't for the fact that Xumi officials currently do not accept advertising in the void, she would definitely let the people of Xumi see what a professional team is.

“Not only that, in the current Xumi, there are many new things that are amazing.”

For example, the ship under their feet at this moment is a type that has never been seen in Teyvat before.

"Using lime and sand as raw materials, and then using special agglomerates to condense them, it is actually possible to form such a hard material. This is truly a genius idea."

As the God of Rock, Zhongli could naturally recognize the source of the material of the ship under their feet. But it was precisely because he could recognize it that he was surprised by it.

Because the ship they were standing on at the moment did not use traditional wood, nor did it use metal like the Fontaine Solstice. Instead, it used a material similar to stone to build the hull.

From the reply given by the void, we can learn that the name of this substance is "cement" and it is a newly developed building material by Xumi.

Now, thanks to Nashida's vigorous policy promotion and the gradual arrival of industrial equipment from Dongdong, Xumi's cement production has gradually increased.

Therefore, in addition to continuing to use it to build roads and houses, technicians have also been testing some strange uses one by one, including experiments with using cement to build inland transport ships.

You should know that Xumi currently has little steel production, and traditional wooden ships are not suitable for Xumi's rapidly growing transportation capacity needs at this stage, regardless of their carrying capacity or durability.

Therefore, cement ships, which can be quickly formed, have a certain quality guarantee, and do not require a large amount of special air-dried wood, have come into everyone's view.

Anyway, we don't expect them to go to war, so if we just use them for inland shipping, it would be a good choice.

Therefore, after preliminary tests, a small batch of cement ships were manufactured and put into use in Xumi's now busy inland shipping.

As for why Hu Tao and Zhongli were able to board the cement boat, which was rare in Xumi nowadays, it was because they were distinguished guests from Liyue and the Xumi authorities specially arranged such a boat for them.

After all, in the eyes of today's Xumi people, this ship is not something that is not worth showing off, but the latest technological achievement of Xumi.

"And this boat doesn't even need sails. Wow, I didn't expect that it could move forward just relying on these two big wheels on the side of the boat."

Turning your eyes to the sides of the boat, you can see two huge wheel-like structures rotating constantly, pushing the river water backwards while driving the entire boat forward.

This reminded Hu Tao of the water wheels that could be seen everywhere in Liyue, except that the water wheels in Liyue rotated passively under the action of the water flow, while the water wheels in Xumi actively pushed water to propel the boats.

"Well, according to Xukong's introduction, this is because the ship is equipped with a mechanism called a "steam engine", which is why it can drive the rotation of these two water wheels."

Following Hu Tao's gaze, Zhongli fell into deep thought as he looked at the unique mechanism called "Pinglun" by the Xumi people.

He was wondering, compared with the immortal mechanisms of Liuyun and others, the various novel objects of this new Xumi would have what status.

Maybe they are really old and it's time for them to go out and see the world.

...

"Oh, it's so boring to take a boat ride. Fortunately, there is a signal in the void along the way, otherwise even this hall master would not be able to laugh."

Grabbing the luggage he carried with him, Walnut was the first to jump off the deck after the stern was lowered.

Although because the new ship ran fast, they arrived at Xumi City much earlier than expected.

But no matter whether it is fast or slow, it is a great torture for someone like Hu Tao who can't sit still.

Fortunately, since this river is the main transportation artery of Xumi, there are signal towers of void terminals built on both sides of the river along the way, so that she does not have nothing to do.

"Hurry up and catch up with the guest. Stop walking so slowly." Looking at Zhongli who was walking slowly behind her, Hu Tao felt a little unhappy.

This guy just sends bills to her every day and always buys some antiques with high premiums, otherwise she wouldn't have to go out and sell them every day.

Now that's great. They clearly came here to expand the business and increase the financial resources of Wangsheng Hall, but Zhongli, the guest official, is always so unhurried, which is really annoying.

It’s decided, he won’t get any salary this month... no, even next month’s salary, he has to use it all to pay his bills!

"Master, don't worry. We came to Xumi this time at the invitation of the Xumi government, so we will have plenty of business to do..."

Carrying a lot of bags, Zhongli slowly walked down from the boat. Even though Hu Tao had pouted, his tone was still so calm, as if nothing could move him.

But in the next moment, before he could continue to defend his behavior, his unchanging expression actually showed a slight ripple.

"Oh, what's that expression on your face? Is there something behind me?"

Hu Tao, who was familiar with Zhongli's usual style of doing things, also realized that something was wrong at this moment and quickly turned around and looked back.

Not far away from them, a young woman with long white hair like a waterfall was watching them silently.

Chapter 144: Model Worker Comrade Yilin

"Hehe~" Looking at Zhongli's confused little eyes, Buyer couldn't help but chuckle.

I didn't expect that the once all-powerful God of War would have such an expression on his face. It's really quite funny.

"Long time no see, old friend. Are you doing well in Liyue recently?" Seeing that Zhongli did not respond for a long time, Buyer took the lead to speak and break the somewhat strange atmosphere.

"Hello...long time no see." After adjusting his expression, Zhongli smiled and spoke.

Although we don’t know what happened that led to the resurrection of the Great Compassionate Tree King, it is a good thing after all that an old friend has returned.

"Ok?"

Seeing the two of them starting this conversation inexplicably, Hu Tao on the side immediately became interested, and her eyes kept moving back and forth between Zhongli and Buyer.

Her intuition told her that there was something fishy between these two people!

"Let's go. This street is not a good place to talk. I'll take you to find a quiet place." After exchanging radio waves, seeing that Zhongli had understood what he meant, Buyer was ready to lead the two of them.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute." But Hu Tao on the side suddenly spoke up and stood directly between the two old men, separating them.

"Guest Zhong, shouldn't you explain to me when you met another acquaintance in Xumi?" This time, Hu Tao even deliberately added a "Zhong" in front of the guest to show how much he valued it.

"Uh..." Being stared at by Hu Tao's curious eyes, Zhongli was speechless for a moment and suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Do we need to ask him to just say that he not only knows people in Xumi, but also in other countries?

"And she's such a beautiful big sister." Turning her head to look at Buyer, Walnut walked up to her very familiarly and stretched out her right hand.

"Hello, beautiful sister, my name is Hu Tao. Hu means eating and drinking as much as you want, but Tao does not mean naughty." Under Buyer's surprised gaze, Hu Tao directly took Buyer's hand.

"I am the 77th head of the Liyue Wangsheng Hall. It's a pleasure to meet you. I wonder if Big Sister is interested in learning about the business of our Wangsheng Hall?"

Hu Tao's smile was very bright, but from her occasional glances at Zhong Li, it was not difficult to tell that she must have some little thoughts of her own.

"Business?" Since he had been informed in advance, Buyer still knew what the Wangsheng Hall did, so he raised his head and looked at Zhongli, and then put the pressure back on Lord Emperor.

After all, her tomb had been built not long ago under the supervision of Nashida, so there was no need for any service.

"Master, this is a close friend of mine. We just happened to meet again now, so let's not talk about business for now."

Finally, under the gazes of both of them, Zhongli couldn't pretend he didn't see it and came out to explain on behalf of Buyer.

"Ms. Walnut, my Erin's grave has actually been prepared a long time ago, so I don't need the services of the Hall of the Dead. Thank you for your kindness."

After removing the name of the Great Mercy Tree King, Buyer calmly described his grave in detail to Walnut, which dissuaded the other party from continuing to sell the product.

However, in the next moment, Walnut's eyes turned and he actually moved directly to Buyer's side.

"Hehe, since Miss Yilin is Keqing's good friend, then she is also my good friend. By the way, Miss Yilin should be younger than Keqing, right?"

Walnut's enthusiasm stunned Buyer for a moment. She didn't expect the other party to be so proactive and bold.

Because according to the normal plot development, shouldn't the three of them formally introduce themselves to each other and then follow her to tour Xumi City together?

"Yes, I am much younger than Zhongli." Even though he was a little confused, Buyer would definitely not deny it.

"That's good. Don't worry about Zhongli from now on. We will call each other sisters. You are Sister Yilin and I am Sister Hutao. How about that?"

Hu Tao said something shocking, and using her talent for social phobia, she gave herself a super promotion.

"No..." "Okay, Sister Walnut."

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Zhongli was about to speak up to stop it, but the next second Yilin agreed directly, leaving him speechless.

"Very good, very good..."

Looking at Buyer's happy expression, Zhongli could only sigh silently.

Increased wear and tear...

...

After accepting Hu Tao as his new sister, Buyer became playful for a moment and started strolling around Xumi City with Hu Tao and Zhongli.

During this time, as if to show something, she also took the initiative to buy a lot of gifts for the two of them, and she paid for all of them.

Things are different now. She has a job now and will never be embarrassed by lack of money again!

"Sister Yilin, isn't this a bit too much? How about we let Wangsheng Hall reimburse part of it?"

Even Kurumi felt a little embarrassed when she saw all kinds of gifts piled up on the floor waiting to be sent to the hotel where they were staying.

After all, she and Yilin had only known each other for one morning, and she had bought so many things for her that she couldn't be stopped.

I can only say that this is in stark contrast to a guest official who only sends bills to himself every day.

"As Liyue says, friends have come from afar, and as a Xumi person, I should do my best to be a good host, so don't refuse, Hu Tao."

Sitting in a private room of the cafe, Buyer picked up a cup of steaming espresso and took a sip.

After finishing a morning of visits, just as she had said at the beginning, she took the two to a quiet place.

"Besides, my coming to contact you this time is not purely accidental, but I am here with a mission."

Putting down the coffee cup in her hand and straightening her expression, Buyer told her real purpose today.

"This is what happened..."

It turned out that after so many days, after much persuasion from Elhaisen and others, she finally joined the Xu League.

And as soon as she joined, Elhaisen entrusted her with important tasks on the grounds that she was knowledgeable, kind and friendly.

Of course, she refused, but Elhaisen held her hand tightly and said to her earnestly:

"Everyone has already made a decision. Lord Grass God also admires you very much, so Comrade Yilin should not be so modest."
