Genshin Impact, there is something wrong with my life simulation system

After hearing the information from Tsumugi Kujo, the lady was speechless. She didn't expect that guy to be interested in women...

“Nothing happened afterwards.” Lei Ying Warlock shook his head and said, “After that, I used Blink to escape. I don’t know what happened after that.”

In other words, that guy is a ruthless person who is obsessed with women?

The lady had a certain understanding of Kujo Tsumugi's character.

"You are the only one in our team who has been captured by her. Is there no more information?"

"This, no more." Katarina hesitated for a moment, then shook her head carefully, "Since I escaped, the second lady of the Kujo family no longer takes prisoners."

"I see."

The lady looked forward through the carriage window. The outline of Mondstadt had already appeared at the other end of her sight. Her face was full of arrogance and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"In that case, when we arrive in Mondstadt, let me personally meet the second young lady of the Kujo family who has always been against us Fatui."

..................................................

Chapter 42: Honorable Knight, neither honorable nor a knight

The dark clouds over Mondstadt had dissipated at some point, and the lady's carriage slowly drove into Mondstadt.

"Why has the city become so deserted?"

The lady did not know that the Wind Dragon Tevarin had attacked Mondstadt, so she was puzzled by the unusually deserted Mondstadt Street. Her eyes wandered around the street, and suddenly, her gaze fixed on the Deerslayer Restaurant.

Or rather... it was fixed on a customer of the Deer Hunter Restaurant.

The purple hair cascading down and the delicate facial features like a doll all indicate that the person in front of you is a gorgeous girl, and the purple kimono on the girl gives her a touch of elegance.

At this moment, the girl was sitting on a chair outside the Deer Hunter Restaurant, staring at the green-haired woman sitting opposite her with a resentful expression and talking incessantly about something.

But what attracted the lady's attention was that the girl's appearance was exactly the same as the person in her memory.

"Eh?"

Even for a lady who had lived for hundreds of years, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation and she was stunned for a moment.

However, the galloping carriage did not stop because of the lady's daze. When the lady finally came to her senses, the carriage had gone very far away, and the figure had become blurred and her face could not be seen clearly.

Was that just... an illusion?

The lady in the carriage was in a state of self-doubt.

No, that's not right!

But immediately, the lady rejected the idea.

Was it "reincarnation" as the people of Liyue often said? Or...she didn't die at all, but lived for five hundred years in a way she didn't know?

Thinking of this, the lady's heart began to beat again.

Thinking that he might be able to "rekindle their past relationship" with her, this executive officer, who was known for his arrogance, actually showed a childlike innocent smile on his face.

……

At this time, Kujo Tsumugi was looking at the Fatui carriage going away with his eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Through her talent of foreknowledge of danger, she had actually discovered the Fatui's carriage a long time ago, and she also guessed that the person who could make the foreknowledge of danger issue such a strong warning should be the Fatui's executive officer.

However... just after the carriage passed by him, the extreme sense of danger coming from the carriage disappeared?

What's going on? Is the talent broken?

After thinking for a long time without any clues, Tsumugi Kujo scratched his head, not understanding what was going on. He could only turn around and continue what he was saying, "So, the Knights of Favonius are actually a bunch of guys who take money but do nothing. Even if the Knights of Favonius go bankrupt, it will not affect the security of Mondstadt."

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" In response to Kujo Tsumugi, Kuki Shinobu rolled her eyes.

Tsk.

That's why Kujo Tsumugi hates smart people, they are too difficult to fool.

However, what Kujo Tsumugi said is not too wrong. The remaining group of Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt are indeed not of much use. In the game, the Knights of Favonius have only done two things during the player's adventure in Mondstadt.

1. Bring me to Mondstadt.

2. Leave the rest of the chores to me.

Later, we successfully defended the city from the monsters' siege, but after the war, I still had to clean up the chevaux de frise and arrow shields set up by the Hilichurls.

The Knights of Favonius have only one mission in Mondstadt, and that is to convince the people of Mondstadt that they are protected.

"Um...Excuse me, is this Miss Kujo?"

Just as Kujo Tsumugi and Kuki Shinobu were talking, a Knight of Favonius ran over and interrupted their conversation.

"Captain Qin asked me to invite Miss Jiujo to her office for a chat."

Humph, it seems that the foreshadowing I laid has worked.

A smile of success appeared on Kujo Tsumugi's face.

When she left Captain Jyn's office a few days ago, she specifically told Captain Jyn to be careful of Tevarin's attack on Mondstadt, just to make Captain Jyn believe in the accuracy of her intelligence. After all, if the intelligence was inaccurate, she, as an intelligence dealer, would not be able to make any money.

"That's it then, Shinobu-sister, you go back to the hotel and wait for me."

Tsumugi Kujo stood up, said goodbye to Shinobu Kuki, and followed the Knight of Favonius all the way to Captain Koto's office.

"Honorary Knight? What's that?"

As soon as she reached the door, Tsumugi Kujo heard a clear and delicate female voice coming from the office.

"Honorary knights are another name for being taken advantage of in Mondstadt." Tsumugi Kujo stopped the Knight of Favonius from knocking on the door and pushed the door open to enter the room. "So-called honorary knights have neither honor nor knighthood, and they don't enjoy power, but they must fulfill their obligations and stand up to protect Mondstadt in special times... like now. And the most important point is... Honorary knights don't get paid."

Kujo Tsumugi's words made everyone in the room turn their heads to look at her.

In addition to Qin and Lisa who had been seen before, there was also a girl in the house wearing white exotic clothes and with golden hair. There was no doubt that this was Ying.

Next to Ying was floating an emergency food, Paimon, who was about the size of a three or four-year-old human.

"What, no salary? Then we won't be honorary knights!"

When Paimon heard that honorary knights would not receive any salary, he immediately quit and grabbed Ying's hair, urging her to leave.

"is that true?"

Of course Ying would not believe Kujo Tsumugi's one-sided story, so she asked Qin.

Qin's face turned slightly red and she nodded very slightly.

"But... this is the only thing we can offer at the moment... We really want to thank you for defeating Tevarin!"

"The only thing you can take out? Is it possible that the Knights of Favonius no longer have Mora?"

Tsumugi Kujo noticed the details in Qin's words keenly.

"This, this..."

And Kujo Tsumugi's words seemed to touch Qin's sore spot, and the expression on her face instantly became awkward.

"Let me explain this point~" A lazy voice sounded, and Lisa helped her good friend Captain Jean out of the predicament, "As you know, Mondstadt is the free capital, so Mondstadt's taxation has always been the lowest among the seven countries."

"In addition, we are adjacent to the commercial country of Liyue, but there are too few industries that can export and earn foreign exchange... Therefore, a large number of Mora in Mondstadt flow to neighboring countries..."

"Grandmaster Falga took away a huge amount of Mora during the expedition as military expenses... plus the pensions and wages of a large number of retired Knights of Favonius in the country, and..."

Having said that, Lisa glanced indifferently at her good friend Qin, who had already lowered her head in shame.

"An upright character is a good quality for a knight, but it is not appropriate to use it in business."

Chapter 43 To be, or not to be?

Later, through Lisa's narration, Tsumugi Kujo and Ying also understood why the economy of Mondstadt was so bad.

The conditions that Lisa mentioned before were all "inducements", and the direct cause was a wrong decision made by Captain Jean after Grand Captain Falga led the elite Knights of Favonius away.

At that time, Captain Falga had just led the elite Knights of Favonius away from Mondstadt, and Jyn had just taken over the position of acting captain. The Fatui's executive officer, "The Doctor", found Jyn and said that Mondstadt was currently too weak. He could provide Mondstadt with magical props developed by the Kingdom of Winter, which could greatly enhance the strength of the Knights of Favonius stationed in Mondstadt. Of course, this would require a large sum of Mora.

Since the "Doctor" had helped Mond defeat the dragon Ursa a few years ago, Jean had a good impression of him and signed the contract with him without carefully checking it. She did not notice the trap hidden in the contract, and then... Mond's economy went from bad to worse.

"What trap did the doctor set in the contract?" Ying asked from the side.

"We have to pay a deposit first, and pay a certain amount of Mora to the Fatui every month."

"Isn't this just a normal installment payment? Where's the trap?" Hearing this, even Kujo Tsumugi became curious about how Qin was tricked. After all, there was no such information in the game.

"Well... the contract only states that Mondstadt must pay the Fatui a sum of Mora every month, and the Fatui will transport the weapons to Mondstadt when the 'time is right'..."

At this point, Lisa seemed to feel a little embarrassed and her voice became lower.

"..."

Tsumugi Kujo looked speechlessly at Qin who buried her head in her chest because she felt embarrassed.

If I had known that Qin was so easy to fool, why would I be an information dealer? Wouldn't it be faster to make money by directly defrauding people?

"Of course, at this time, Mondstadt's economy could still barely hold on... But not long ago, the Bank of the North suddenly raised its interest rate, and people deposited Mora in the bank and did not take it out for circulation, resulting in a further reduction in tax revenue..."

Hmm, I didn't expect that the "rich man" actually knows some economics? And he knows how to use this to put pressure on Mond?

Sure enough, that guy is just as not to be underestimated as Ningguang.

Ninety-nine percent of the people on the continent of Teyvat have no idea about economics, and the remaining one percent only have a superficial understanding of economics.

How ignorant are the people of Teyvat about economics? Look at Zhongli, he is a demon god who has lived for thousands of years. What has he not seen? He controls the minting rights of Mora, the only currency in circulation on the continent, and has single-handedly raised the inflation of the entire continent.

All I can say is that as long as you have some common sense in economics, you won't be completely ignorant of economics.

However, compared with the outrageousness of the people of Liyue, Zhongli's behavior is nothing.

As the most prosperous trading center in the entire continent, in Liyue Port, which is known as the port of thousands of ships and sails, the largest bank in the country was actually opened by people from the Kingdom of Winter...

Even though Kujo Tsumugi was just a newbie who only knew some basic knowledge of economics, she could see how dangerous this was.

However, the people of Liyue, including the seven stars of Liyue throughout the ages, did not think that this was a problem. The Bank of the North took root in Liyue for hundreds of years and became the main source of income for the Betrayals' activities in countries around the world.

It was only after Ningguang came to power that she began to use various methods to reduce the influence of the Northern Bank in Liyue. However, she did not want to help Liyue's economy break free from the control of the Fatui. She just had her eyes on the big cake of the banking industry and wanted to take a piece of the Fatui's cake.

In short, after saying so much, I actually just want to make one thing clear: the "rich people" who pushed Mond into the fire pit through financial means are really much stronger than other people on the continent.

At least in terms of economy, the means of the "rich man" and Ningguang should be equally matched.

As for Kujo Tsumugi...she should be a little worse than the two of them. At least she has never had the upper hand in her previous fights with Ningguang.

There is no way. Although Kujo Tsumugi is a time traveler and has much more knowledge than the natives of Teyvat, she is still too inexperienced compared to the rich Ningguang, a veteran who has been in business for dozens or even hundreds of years.

As for why the Kingdom of Winter is so determined to make money in Mondstadt, Kujo Tsumugi knows what they are going to do without any hesitation.

"Judging from the Fatui's style, they must have sent someone to find Captain Jean and said that if their conditions were met, they could temporarily terminate or directly annul the contract. If I'm guessing correctly, the conditions they proposed should be to allow the Fatui army to directly enter Mondstadt."

Kujo Tsumugi said with a look of disdain.

"Ah, Miss Kujo really understands the Fatui's style of doing things. Come, sister will give you some rewards~"

After saying that, Lisa stretched out her arms and hugged Kujo Tsumugi in her arms. Due to the height difference, Kujo Tsumugi's face was buried in Lisa's plump chest.

"Paimon don't look!"

Ying immediately covered Paimon's eyes.

"Huh? Why? What happened?"

Little Paimon was very dissatisfied and stomped his feet angrily in the air.

"Ms. Lisa, what are you doing?" Kujo Tsumugi pushed Lisa away speechlessly.

Although it was indeed very comfortable, Lisa was not the type of person who would casually give benefits to others. When she thought that Lisa must have some ulterior motive for doing this, Kujo Tsumugi felt that the two piles of fat on her chest were unattractive.

Moreover, if we compare the bodies, Rosaline's body is sexier than Lisa's. Tsumugi Kujo has been treated in this way and that way by Rosaline in special scenes, and has long been in sage mode. How could she be tempted by a small benefit?

Humph! Snake spirit, your little tricks are useless to me!

"Yes, just as Miss Kujo said, the Fatui did make such a suggestion, but I rejected it all." After a lot of self-psychological counseling, Qin returned to normal.

"I have always felt guilty about this, because my personal mistakes have caused Mond's economic situation to deteriorate significantly..."
