Early in the morning of this day, Qin did not deal with the documents on her desk as usual, but came to the main gate of Mond early and waited quietly for the distinguished guests who were about to arrive.
Yesterday a carrier pigeon brought a letter that Ningguang from the Tianquan Star and the Yinlun School sage from Xumi, two of the Seven Stars of Liyue, would arrive in Mondstadt this morning.
This was the third time that Qin had welcomed the heads of state of other countries. Before this, she had welcomed the city-state lord of Nata and the chief judge of Fontaine, so this time the reception seemed very familiar to her.
However, the only thing that made Qin feel a little nervous was that Kujo Tsumugi, who had been with her the previous two times, was not here this time. Qin really wanted to bring Kujo Tsumugi with her, but Kujo Tsumugi said, "Ningguang and I have a grudge. Are you sure you want me to go to greet her?" Qin gave up the idea.
From a distance, Qin saw two carriages coming in the distance. The first carriage looked quite luxurious. Not only was the carriage itself made of quite expensive wood, but a layer of light gold foil was sprinkled on the outside of the carriage. The shiny gold foil reflected the sunlight in the sky, and from a distance, it seemed as if the carriage itself was glowing.
The second carriage is much more low-key than the first one. It looks no different from an ordinary carriage, except that there are some simple decorations on the outside of the carriage. However, although the decorations are simple, they give people a sense of elegance.
Huh, are you here?
Although she did not greet the other party on the ground with Qin, Kujo Tsumugi still snorted coldly while looking at the first carriage in the distance in the sky.
Ningguang...
In the game Genshin Impact, Mihoyo deliberately downplayed the merchant attributes of Ningguang, making her look like a great hero who gave up the Jade Pavilion to protect Liyue.
The real Ningguang is completely different from the Ningguang in the game.
In order to gain an advantage in the business world, Ningguang has done many shameful things, not to mention such small tricks as hiring a group of treasure robbers to rob the opponent's caravan.
In reality, Ningguang even colluded with the top leaders of the treasure-stealing group for her own benefit, allowing them to secretly mine minerals from the Layered Rock Abyss.
This point is also mentioned in the game Genshin Impact. In the main quest of the Abyss, due to the emergence of black mud from the ground, the Seven Stars of Liyue sealed the above-ground part of the Abyss and sent guards to guard it. Logically, there should not be any humans in the Abyss at this time.
However, when the protagonist follows the main quest and enters the above-ground part of the Layered Abyss to unlock the seal, he can see the treasure-hunting group working hard here.
Ningguang certainly loves the country of Liyue, just like a farmer loves his farm, but once Ningguang finds that she can get higher profits by selling the farm, she will sell it without hesitation.
How should I put it... This is very consistent with Kujo Tsumugi's perception of businessmen - as long as they have money, these guys have no bottom line.
Influenced by the game in the past, Kujo Tsumugi had a good impression of the character Ningguang, but after getting in touch with her and suffering several losses, Kujo Tsumugi gradually began to wake up and stopped her "dog-licking" behavior. As a result, when she found that Kujo Tsumugi was wary of her and no longer willing to provide money-making ideas, Ningguang immediately distanced herself from Kujo Tsumugi, as if she had never met Kujo Tsumugi before.
Ningguang's behavior was like a slap in the face, which instantly shattered Kujo Tsumugi's fantasy about the characters in the Genshin Impact game, making Kujo Tsumugi completely face the reality and laying the foundation for her subsequent darkening.
After regaining consciousness from the memories of the past, Kujo Tsumugi noticed that Ningguang, the Sage of the Ordination Institute, and Qin were already chatting together.
Looking at Ningguang's sexy and slender figure and her long, white and slender legs exposed, although Kujo Tsumugi's XP was very tempted, she did not feel any special impulse when facing Ningguang.
With another cold snort, Kujo Tsumugi originally wanted to leave just like that, but the moving shadow on the ground exposed Kujo Tsumugi's figure. After Ningguang saw Kujo Tsumugi in the sky, she immediately called her down.
Although he hated the other person in his heart, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Facing the polite Ningguang, Kujo Tsumugi could only suppress his unhappiness and start a hypocritical conversation with her.
"Aunt Ningguang, long time no see."
The first sentence that Kujo Tsumugi said made Qin's eyes twitch uncontrollably, for fear that she would fight with Ningguang on the street.
"Oh?"
Almost everyone can smell the gunpowder in Kujo Tsumugi's words, so Ningguang was unhappy when she heard Kujo Tsumugi's greeting, and was thinking about how to get back at him.
"Ahem, alright, alright, let's go to the city and rest first."
Although no one knew what had happened between Kujo Tsumugi and Ningguang in the past, the sage of the Institute of Religious Affairs immediately stepped forward to smooth things over after noticing the tension between the two.
The sage's words did prevent this "war". On the way to the inn, Qin and Ningguang came together, and the sage also took the initiative to find Kujo Tsumugi and started a conversation with her, leaving Ningguang and Kujo Tsumugi no time to pay attention to each other.
Scholars of the In Theory School strive to explore the source, composition and nature of knowledge. Under this guiding ideology, most people of the In Theory School study knowledge in areas such as history and sociology. However, when this scholar of the In Theory School was chatting with Kujo Tsumugi, he noticed that her views were different from those of most people in the world.
"Merchants are the most evil and shameless class in the world." Tsumugi Kujo said viciously, "Unlike other classes, the way merchants survive is completely different from others."
There are no capitalists in this world, so businessmen naturally become the objects of Kujo Tsumugi's hatred.
"While everyone else is working honestly to make a living, merchants are taking advantage of information gaps and price differences in different locations to profit for themselves."
"This unique way of making money causes businessmen to often do things that benefit the business community rather than the general public."
"For example, deliberately hoarding rice and flour to drive up food prices during famine years."
What Kujo Tsumugi said was mixed with a lot of subjective content, and was purely for the sake of criticizing. But even so, the sages of the Yinlun school listened with great interest, because some of Kujo Tsumugi's views were very novel. For example, she used "class" to classify people in society, and also used vivid examples to illustrate the needs of various classes.
For example, the nobility hopes that their country will be prosperous and stable, because only in this way can they guarantee their privileges to the greatest extent.
"For example, Captain Jean works hard every day and says she wants to protect Mondstadt forever. But in essence, she is just the aristocracy trying to maintain their privileges."
While Qin, who was walking in front, wasn't paying attention, Kujo Tsumugi quietly spoke to the sage.
Chapter 195 The Maid Opens the Door to a New World
"That's an interesting point of view, Miss Kujo, but unfortunately the time is too short now. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to discuss the point you just made in depth with you.
The sage looked forward and saw that they had arrived at the hotel that Qin had prepared for them, so he spoke to Kujo Tsumugi politely.
"If there's a chance, I will."
Kujo Tsumugi shrugged indifferently. She thought the sage's words were just some polite remarks, so she didn't take them to heart.
After saying bad things about Ningguang along the way, Kujo Tsumugi vented some of his dissatisfaction, so he quickly said goodbye to the Sage of the Institute of Religious Affairs and returned to the office with Qin.
"The next step is to prepare for the opening of the Fine Wine Festival. Qin, are you ready?"
According to the plan, Jyn will announce Mond's plan to build the Whispering Forest tourist area at the Wine Festival.
Qin took a deep breath to relieve the tension in her heart.
"Of course, but...is this plan really reliable?"
Qin still has some doubts about whether this plan can be successful. No matter how beautiful the scenery at Xingluo Lake is, it is still unknown how many people from other countries can be attracted to visit.
"I don't think there's any problem."
Kujo Tsumugi was full of confidence in this plan. There were many wealthy people with nothing to do in Liyue. When they heard that Mondstadt had built a new tourist area, they would definitely come over to play. As long as they served those wealthy people who spent money lavishly, would Mondstadt be afraid of not making money?
Unlike Qin, Kujo Tsumugi has never thought of making money from poor people. Her principle of doing things has always been to make money from whoever has money.
"Then I'll leave this place to you. Bye."
After looking around and realizing that she had nothing to do, Tsumugi Kujo immediately left Captain Koto's office. As soon as she arrived at the lobby of the Knights, she heard a petite and sweet voice.
"Sister Tsumugi!"
The small fiery red figure suddenly threw itself into Kujo Tsumugi's arms.
"What's wrong, my cute little Klee?"
Feeling the petite figure in her arms, Tsumugi Kujo couldn't help but rub Klee's cheek. She had been busy with official business recently and had no time to play with little Klee, which made Tsumugi Kujo feel a little uncomfortable. So she had been accompanying Klee to play in Mondstadt these days, causing a lot of trouble for other residents.
For example, taking Klee to blow up pigeons on the stone bridge has almost become a daily activity for Kujo Tsumugi.
"I want to write a reply to my mother, but I don't recognize some of the words..." Klee acted coquettishly in Kujo Tsumugi's arms and expressed her troubles.
A few days ago, Alice's letter and Kujo Sara's letter arrived in Mond together, and Kujo Tsumugi learned that Alice was currently staying in Inazuma.
"Then let me write it for you."
Tsumugi Kujo said this lovingly, then followed Klee to her room and wrote a letter to Alice according to Klee's instructions.
At the end of the letter, Kujo Tsumugi wrote Klee's name, hesitated for a long time, and finally added the four words "Love you Tsumugi".
According to the experience of previous simulations, anyone who has been close to Alice in The Sims will have their memory modified, thinking that everything that happened in The Sims is real. Now Alice's memory should have been tampered with as well.
Guessing what Alice's expression would be when she received the letter, Tsumugi Kujo showed a malicious smile, and then handed the sealed letter to little Klee. Seeing Klee jumping up and down with joy holding the letter in her hands, the smile on Tsumugi Kujo's face became warmer.
For a moment, Tsumugi Kujo even thought that she was the "gold" in the simulation system, playing with Klee in Mondstadt every day, and then waiting for Alice's journey to end and reunite with her again, and finally living a shameless and happy life.
However, the moment this illusion appeared, Kujo Tsumugi became alert. He patted his cheeks, feeling the slight pain on both sides. Kujo Tsumugi immediately woke up and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Perhaps because the last simulation lasted a very long time, Kujo Tsumugi was obviously more strongly affected by the memories this time, and he even had the boring idea of reviving alchemy.
"I'm really becoming more and more unlike myself." Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but mutter to herself.
However, Kujo Tsumugi had no intention of stopping using the simulation system. There was no other way. The simulation system was too tempting. Not only could it allow Kujo Tsumugi to get close to other beautiful girls, but it could also make Kujo Tsumugi stronger. Even though Kujo Tsumugi knew that it had side effects, she couldn't stop using it and had to continue using it.
After sending the letter with Klee, Tsumugi Kujo found an excuse to return to the hotel alone.
"Well……"
After returning to her room, Tsumugi Kujo immediately buried her head in the quilt. She was in a low mood because she realized that she was gradually becoming different from herself. Therefore, she did not notice the guy who sneaked into her room.
"Master, I miss you so much!"
Who else but Sandoni could have used such a unique name?
"Sandoni, it's not time for the Adventurer's Guild to get off work yet. Are you really a manly person to occupy Catherine's body like this?" Kujo Tsumugi stuck his head out from under the quilt and looked at Sandoni in front of him silently.
Because Tsumugi Kujo had lived in the Whispering Forest for more than a month, Sandonie, who was the most attached to her, felt lonely and unbearable. It was as if he wanted to make up for the time he had not spent in the previous month. These days, Sandonie came to see Tsumugi Kujo almost every time he had time.
"Why should Sandoni consider other people's feelings? Sandoni just wants the master to like him."
Sandone said something that only a sophisticated egoist would say, and Tsumugi Kujo knew that she meant it sincerely.
But...how to put it.
Although she knew that Sandone's twisted attitude was wrong, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but feel secretly happy when she heard that Sandone valued her so much.
Their eyes met, and seeing the undisguised desire in Sandone's eyes, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but glare at her. Needless to say, Kujo Tsumugi took off her kimono on her own initiative, revealing her fair skin, and the room was soon filled with a pink and ambiguous atmosphere.
At the door, Noelle, Tsumugi Kujo's nominal personal maid, was staring at the scene in front of her with wide eyes through the gap in the door that was not closed tightly.
Noelle came to bring lunch to Tsumugi Kujo. Although she had been separated from Noelle for more than a month when Tsumugi Kujo went to the Whispering Forest, Noelle began to perform her duties as a personal maid after Tsumugi Kujo returned to Mondstadt. However, since Tsumugi Kujo was very busy recently and only returned to the hotel for meals, Noelle's duty was only to prepare Tsumugi Kujo's three meals a day. But she didn't expect to run into this scene.
Women and women...and...this posture!
The innocent maid opened the door to a new world from then on.
Chapter 196: The Opening of the Wine Festival
On the day of the Brew Festival, in the Whispering Woods in Mondstadt.
Since Captain Qin announced early on that the Wine Festival would be held here this year, the Whispering Forest was much more lively this year than in previous years. Various colorful flags, balloons, banners and other decorations were hung between the trees, and merchants also came to the stalls early to prepare to make a fortune in this Wine Festival.
It was still early in the morning, and as the Whispering Forest was some distance away from Mondstadt, tourists had not yet arrived. However, the stall owners were busy chatting and making their own preparations, so it didn't seem deserted.
And at a stall called "Mysterious Diona Special" in the best location in the Whispering Forest, Tsumugi Kujo was instructing Noel on what to do when encountering an emergency.
"If someone makes trouble, just punch him in the face. Beat him to death until he is dead. I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong!" Kujo Tsumugi patted his chest to show that he has someone above him.
"And then..." Just when Tsumugi Kujo wanted to continue instructing Noelle, she found that her little maid was standing there blankly, daydreaming.
"Noelle? Noelle? Why is it like this again..."
Tsumugi Kujo scratched her purple hair in distress. Since the past few days, Noelle has often been in a daze for no apparent reason, and it has become so serious that it has affected her life.
Of course, this affected Kujo Tsumugi's life. Due to her frequent daydreaming, Noel basically forgot to add seasoning to the meals she cooked these days, which made Kujo Tsumugi's stomach suffer. The worst time was when Noel forgot to add fruit when making fruit salad!
Since then, Tsumugi Kujo has stopped eating the food cooked by Noelle.
Tsumugi Kujo asked Noel why he became like this, but in response to Tsumugi Kujo's questions, Noel always avoided the question and tried hard to change the subject, then repeatedly stated that he would not make the same mistake again next time... and then not long after, the same scene was repeated again.
However, after a few days of contact, Tsumugi Kujo also found a way to stabilize Noel's strange state.
Tsumugi Kujo took a deep breath, then took a step forward, gently wrapped one hand around Noelle's slender waist, and gently stroked her cute and smooth cheek with the other hand. She leaned her head forward slightly, as if she wanted to kiss her.
"Alas?!"
Just as their lips were about to touch, Noelle woke up like a frightened rabbit. Before her brain could react to what was happening, her body instinctively pushed Kujo Tsumugi away.
There was a "bang" sound.
Under the influence of Noel's strange power, Tsumugi Kujo's figure turned into an afterimage, flew backwards at lightning speed, and hit a big tree behind him.
"My waist!"
Kujo Tsumugi held her lower back and stood up from the ground tremblingly.
"Tsumi-sama, I'm so sorry!"
Noelle, who had regained consciousness, also reacted and helped Tsumugi Kujo's petite body to sit on a chair nearby, bowing desperately to apologize.
"Eh, forget it, just rest for a while." Kujo Tsumugi felt a little regretful. If she had known that she would get hurt, she should have directly touched Noel's chest.
At least it's not a disadvantage to have a try. It's not like now, where I didn't get any advantage and ended up getting hurt.
I had been thinking about visiting this place with Eula before the tourists arrived, but it looks like that's not going to happen.
As Kujo Tsumugi was thinking this, she noticed a cold gaze coming from a distance.
Eula, who had short ice-blue hair and wore a Knights of Favonius uniform, looked at Noelle who was apologizing at the side with her golden eyes, and then glanced at Tsumugi Kujo who was holding her waist.
