The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

“…Okay.” Ying said.

Shen He looked around and there was no sign of Lin Ye. He wondered if Thomas knew Lin Ye.

Next, several people went to the outlying island monitoring station.

On the way, Ying and Shen He introduced themselves.

I learned from Thomas that Ying's name is also well-known among Inazuma and she is very famous.

Shen He and Lamia seem to be unknown.

However, Thomas was no ordinary person and could sense that the two were extraordinary.

The so-called inspection station is a department set up by the Kanjo Bugyo, which is responsible for registering people from foreign countries who come to the island and handling the procedures for landing on the island.

After that, you have to go to the Yuanguo Supervision Office to complete the residence procedures.

Originally, foreign travelers did not need this thing, but the Kandei-honjo issued it in order to make money. The Kandei who was in charge of government affairs and the Tenryo who was in charge of military power became corrupt together and colluded with each other. The Shogun in the castle tower did not care, so this extra thing was a good way to make money.

Ying was also stunned when she heard the staff member Lilyhua say that the handling fee was one million Mora per person.

Chapter 552 Ying: Thunder God is incompetent and pursues personal interests

Outlying islands, distant countries supervisory offices.

"One million Mora for each person, four million Mora for four people. I didn't make a mistake in my calculations."

Lilyhua said coldly, ignoring the shock of Ying and Paimon.

"It's not that I calculated it wrong... um..." Paimon was speechless. She turned her head to look at Ying and gave her a pitiful look, asking "Do we have enough Mora?"

Ying was silent for a while.

She felt it hurt to breathe.

Is there a golden house here for her to rob?

Or where is the young master?

Although Paimon is a money-eating beast, his food expenses alone cost 300,000 Mora a month.

Four million Mora is enough for her to support Paimon for thirteen months!

Lamia was also shocked by the price.

They used to live in the deep sea, where there was no currency exchange. After all, Mora was a product created by hostile gods. If the followers of the vortex demon Osel dared to use it, they would die a miserable death.

Therefore, trade between sirens is usually a simple barter.

Later, they settled in Liyue Harbor. Beidou gave them a house in a lane and a large sum of Mora as moving expenses. If they lived frugally, they could live peacefully in this abandoned house for many years.

But this also made Lamia realize the importance and value of Mora. A person without a stable source of Mora would often feel anxious even if he had 10 million Mora savings.

Lamia usually supplements her family income by selling the jewelry she makes, which helps to pass the long and boring time.

Of course, as a mermaid, Lamia can literally go to the sea and search for pearls, which is also a way to make a living.

Having said so much, I can sum it up in one word:

poor.

It's poor, not poverty.

When traveling, Lamia only brought more than 400,000 Mora for emergencies and could not afford the sky-high handling fee.

She pursed her lower lip and looked at the staff member Lily Hua, wondering if this guy was trying to scam them.

There was no way. Lamia had been fooled. If it weren't for Lin Ye's help that time, Miss Siren would have been troubled for a long time, considering whether to feed the scum who deceived her to sharks or sea monsters.

Lamia secretly observed the reactions of others. There was no need to say much about Ying and Paimon, but she showed a hint of surprise on her face at Shen He's words.

It’s not that four million Mora is unaffordable.

But now Shen He also understands the importance of it.

In the past, she would wonder why people could exchange things with Mora, but now Shen He knows that this is a fortune that ordinary people would have to save for a long time even if they did not eat or drink.

According to the last ninja Hayateu, this is her salary for twenty months!

This is Taromaru, the owner of Loumu Tea House, 22.22... times his private money!

And, four limited edition Seven Saints Summoning Cards!

…and other similar examples.

Ying had never expected that the first difficulty she encountered when she arrived at Inazuma would be the Mora problem.

There is a saying in Liyue: Even a penny can make a hero fall.

She only had over two million Mora in her little treasury, barely enough to pay her and Paimon’s handling fees.

…There’s nothing I can do.

If all else fails, hide in the mountains and become the king of the mountain, avoid the shogunate's encirclement and suppression, and learn the old ways of the forest.

There will always be a way when you reach the mountain, so take each step carefully.

Ying was mentally prepared to be an illegal resident.

"Everyone, do you want to go through the procedures for staying here?" Lily Hua asked.

This person was not a spoiled rich girl, but at best an ordinary civil servant whose monthly salary was only a few hundred thousand Mora. If it were her, she would not be able to pay the four million Mora handling fee.

But how to say it?

She wasn't the one paying.

Since the lockdown was announced, not only have foreigners had a hard time living, but Inazuma people have also had a depressing life.

Over time, Lilyhua became indifferent in this atmosphere.

Lily is used to foreigners being shocked by the fee, but so what? It's not the "price" she set.

When Shen He heard this, she was about to say that she would pay Mora, but Thomas suddenly burst into laughter.

Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, laughing heartily is a skill that never fails. It can attract attention in meetings, save your life when caught, and if all else fails, it can also show that you are not afraid of authority or death.

Sure enough, Thomas attracted everyone's attention.

"Haha...Miss, these two are my friends. Take a look. Do you think I look familiar to you?"

"It's you, Mr. Thomas." Lily Hua then noticed the young man hiding in the shadows and thought, "Then for your sake, 400,000 Mora will be fine."

"Suddenly there are so many missing..."

Ying was still surprised.

Thomas's face is so useful? He gave me a 10% discount.

People always need to compromise.

If it was 400,000 Mora at the beginning, Ying would feel a little pain, but with the example of 4 million Mora, it is not impossible to afford just over a month's food expenses for Paimon.

"Thank you so much, Miss Yurikara."

"But in my opinion, regarding the handling fee... 600 Mora is enough. I'll pay for them and treat you to a meal. How about that?"

Six hundred Moras?

Paimon thought she was an expert at bargaining, as she could bargain down a serving of fisherman's toast that usually cost more than nine hundred Moras to more than six hundred Moras.

I didn't expect that Thomas in front of me was so talented that he dared to cut the price from 4 million Moras to 600 Moras!

How much of a discount is this... Rong Paimeng, let's do the math.

Lily Hua heard this and weighed the pros and cons in her mind. Thomas was a local tyrant, so of course he was nothing in the eyes of the Kanjo Bugyo... but she heard from others that he seemed to be the White Egret Princess's man...

He is also good looking.

We can get acquainted.

As for Mora who suffered losses...

The people at the top are enriching themselves, enjoying the best fish and meat, but aren't they allowed the people below to have a little soup?

Three million nine hundred and ninety four hundred Moras.

I couldn't afford it before.

Now...

"Okay, then I'll rely on Mr. Ma and register it." Baihehua's brows relaxed, her attitude no longer cold, and she said easily.

"Hey, thanks for taking care of me."

Seeing this, Shen He was thoughtful and guessed the reason.

Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and human feelings are learned.

She still has a lot to learn in this worldly world.

Afterwards, the formalities were handled smoothly at the Far Country Supervision Office.

Thomas symbolically charged each person 200 maras, which was just the amount of maras for an omelette.

After leaving the Far Country Supervisory Office, Paimeng was still filled with emotion.

"Four million Moras has been reduced to six hundred Moras. Is there something wrong with the Inazuma people's concept of money?"

"This terrible concept of money reminds me of an acquaintance..." Ying said softly.

"Haha, there's nothing to be surprised about," Thomas said with a smile, "This handling fee itself is just a private project."

"For the supervisors of Yuanguo Supervision Bureau, no matter how much handling fee is paid, it will go directly into their pockets. It's just a matter of how much they make."

"What if I meet a wealthy foreign businessman who is unfortunate enough to be stranded here and is honest and obedient..."

"It's more than one million Mora!"

Paimon was indignant about this kind of thing.

“At this time, the importance of having a local friend is reflected.”

"Is there no one resisting?" Ying asked.

"As a stranger in a foreign land, under the Inazuma Lockdown Order, I am alone and helpless, and there is really no good way out."

"The most those foreign businessmen can do is to huddle together for warmth."

"This is also the origin of the Outlying Islands International Chamber of Commerce, a chamber of commerce established by foreign businessmen. In addition to making profits, the chamber of commerce is also responsible for regulating, organizing, and assisting foreigners to survive in Inazuma."

The existence of the International Chamber of Commerce is not good news for Ying.

It's not that the International Chamber of Commerce has offended Ying, but the existence of this chamber of commerce shows that it is difficult for foreigners to survive in Inazuma.

Since even survival is so difficult, one can imagine how difficult it would be to meet General Lei Dian.

"Thomas, is there any way for us to meet General Raiden?"

"Meeting General Raiden... In the hearts of the Inazuma people, General Raiden is the most noble and extraordinary being. It is difficult for ordinary people to meet him. For you, as extraordinary people, this goal is really ambitious..."

Ying observed Thomas's expression and saw that he didn't seem that embarrassed, so she quietly waited for his next words.

"But, to be frank, I have a way to introduce you to General Lei Dian." Thomas said confidently.

That is, I kneel before the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes Statue! (crossed out

"Really? The local tyrants on the outlying islands have this kind of connections! That's amazing!" Paimeng said.

Ying suspects that Thomas's identity is not as simple as a local tyrant. The outlying island is part of Inazuma, but only a part. No matter how powerful he is, it is unlikely that he has any connection with the supreme ruler.

Thomas felt a little embarrassed by Paimon's praise, scratched his head and said, "Well... hehe, if we use all our resources, there will always be a way."

"only…"

"only?"

"Connections are an expensive business, aren't they?"

Paimeng was furious when he heard this.

"You try this trick too!"

"No, I'm not talking about business with you Mora." Thomas waved his hand, "Helping each other and getting what we want is my principle."

"The president of the International Chamber of Commerce, Ji Lixu, is a friend of mine. You are aware of their situation."
