Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

The House of Representatives currently looks down on businessmen.

This can be seen from the harbor master's tax system.

They just use businessmen as tools to make money.

Just like the ancient dynasties that emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, the Council of Religious Affairs emphasized knowledge over commerce.

Their large patent reserves allow them to earn a steady stream of wealth without having to engage in any commercial activities.

Well, or rather, for those high-ranking scholars, knowledge is wealth, but not for Mora.

Wang Que cannot say that this view is wrong.

After all, knowledge is indeed a valuable asset.

But because of this concept, the other party seemed to have some misunderstandings about him as a big businessman.

They thought he was one of the merchants in Xumi City who were oppressed by them.

"We have to fight back."

Wang Que's eyes flickered slightly, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

To be honest, among the seven countries, he is the least inferior to Xumi.

No matter what, other countries are protected by higher-level forces.

Don’t look down on Mondstadt’s drunkards and Liyue’s social losers because they seem unreliable. If Wang Que really does something bad... they won’t turn a blind eye.

General Inazuma Raiden strikes whenever he wants.

Even if Funina has no power in Fontaine, the water dragon brought back by Fucaros is already maintaining Fontaine's system.

Not to mention the roar of the sun on Nata's side.

As for Solstice? Wang Que didn't want to be besieged by the Executors. He wasn't Master Diluk.

Only Xumi, the little auspicious grass king, was imprisoned because she did not want to resist, but also because she was really weak.

The House of Religious Orders looks huge, but in reality, its high-ranking officials are completely unable to compete with Wang Que in terms of power.

"Looks like I have to save Xumi."

Wang Que muttered to himself.

He originally planned to come to the Academy to acquire some advanced knowledge and make some money.

The matter of saving Xumi can wait until Huangmao arrives.

But now, since others have taken action, he can't help but fight back, right?

"But the visit I was planning to make will have to be described in a different way."

……

(Six major factions of the House of Lords)

Amirita College, the Institute of Religious Affairs.

"You mean, a merchant from Liyue came to visit me with a letter of introduction from Tinari?"

Nafis's eyes wavered slightly as he looked at the scholar in front of him.

The scholar who came to report nodded and said, "Yes, Sage Nafis, the merchant's name is Wang Que. This is the letter."

Nafis took the letter, opened it and read it.

"Hmm? An inhibitor for demonic scale disease?" Nafis' eyes lit up.

Although the letter also mentioned Wang Que's magical abilities and the powerful floating city.

But what attracted this sage of the Life Theory School the most was still the drug that could inhibit the demonic scale disease.

As mentioned before, most scholars of the vitalism school work part-time as doctors.

Their understanding of life is unmatched by other factions.

As a scholar of this faction, Nafis naturally also studied the demonic scale disease and even wanted to solve it.

But obviously, he failed.

And now, a Liyue merchant actually came with an inhibitor.

How could he not be surprised by this?

"No wonder that little fellow in Tinari can write a letter of introduction."

Nafis sighed, then said to the scholar, "Please ask them to come."

There was no way he would let go of the Demon Scale Disease Inhibitor.

Not to mention the safety of the people of Xumi, even for his own inner desire for knowledge, he had to meet Wang Que.

The scholar bowed and said, "Okay, Sage Nafis, I'll let them know right away."

He turned and left the Sage's office.

Soon, the scholar entered the office with two businessmen dressed as Liyue people.

It was Wang Que and Fu Xu.

"My sincerest greetings, Sage Nafis."

Wang Que greeted him politely. Fu Xu stepped forward and placed the gift down. "This is Liyue's tea. I hope you like it."

Nafis did not refuse. Compared to other Xumi people who liked wine and coffee, he naturally knew about Liyue's famous tea.

I also know that sending tea leaves is a sign of courtesy in Liyue.

This means that Wang Que respects him.

"Well, hello, I've read the letter from Tinari. Do you have any samples with inhibitors?"

The wise man had no intention of exchanging pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Wang Que smiled, polite but unflattering: "Of course I do, but before we talk about cooperation, I must make one thing clear."

Nafis was stunned for a moment, then said, "What's the matter? If it's about compensation, don't worry, we won't infringe on other people's patents."

He thought Wang Que was worried that the potion would be cracked.

Wang Que shook his head: "That's not the case. I'm not afraid of you cracking my patent, because your patent is nothing secret to me."

This sounds a bit like a threat.

But it also reminded Nafis that the merchant in front of him seemed different from the local merchants in Xumi.

He is not easy to bully.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Nafis became more serious.

Wang Que's expression also turned serious. "This morning, my floating city came under a virtual attack. The attackers attempted to steal the city's internal information and control rights."

Nafis frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with the potion..."

He was about to ask what it mattered, but he immediately realized what was going on.

The floating city is parked next to the Xumi City.

In this place, apart from their Order House, who else would dare to attack the floating city?

Nafi's expression suddenly turned serious. "You mean, you suspect we were the ones who did it?"

Wang Que shook his head and said directly under the other party's doubtful gaze: "It's not doubt, it's certainty."

"Except for your Void System, there is no other entity in Xumi that can break through the outer firewall of the Floating City."

Wang Que said with a hint of sarcasm: "Sage, you don't think those desert people can do it, do you?"

Nafis's face flushed red, and then a hint of anger appeared: "You'd better not make groundless accusations, otherwise the House of Lords will not let you go."

"The House of Lords had better give me an explanation, otherwise I will not let you go."

Who doesn't know how to make harsh remarks?

Wang Que responded very naturally.

Nafis was not blinded by anger. After all, he was a sage. Although he had a hot temper, he was also the most rational among the sages of the House of Lords.

"You guys wait here."

He turned around and left the office, leaving Wang Que and Fu Xu here.

After he left.

Fu Xu looked at Wang Que in surprise: "Boss?"

"Are you wondering why I caused the conflict?" Wang Que said with a smile.

Fu Xu nodded: "Yes, this is different from what I said yesterday."

What they said yesterday was that they were here to build good relationships.

"Don't underestimate this sage. He is one of the few rational people among the sages of the Ordovician Council."

"He will apologize to us."

Wang Que made a judgment.

Just as he judged.

It only takes ten minutes.

Nafis came back with a depressed look on his face.

The first words he said after seeing Wang Que were: "Sorry, everything you said is true."

Wang Que waved his hand and said, "Sage, an apology won't solve the problem. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, the elemental cannons of the floating city will prove that my words are not false."

After getting so many cards from Inazuma, he can now speak more confidently.

Of course, the address is still very polite.

As a human being, besides avoiding fishy smells, you must be polite!

Chapter 329: Fire First

Wang Que was not trying to intimidate Nafis.

He was really planning to use the floating city's elemental cannon to launch an attack.

Before in Guyun Pavilion, he only used elemental rays to scare Ying and Paimeng, but the true power of the floating city has not been demonstrated yet.

The main reason is that Guoyun Pavilion is indeed close to Liyue Harbor, and some weapons of mass destruction are not easy to test.

As a result, those who came to Xumi to do business properly ended up being tricked by others.

Wang Que was very angry at first, but soon became happy.

What is this? This is a legitimate reason!

Whether before or after the time travel, the civilization Wang Que lived in had one characteristic.

No matter what you do, you must have a legitimate reason.

Unjust struggle will ultimately harm others and oneself.

And revenge with a legitimate reason is the work of justice.

Therefore, Wang Que told Nafis that if negotiations could not get a satisfactory answer, then he would use the elemental cannon.

When Nafis heard Wang Que's words, he was also angry.

He has always had a bad temper.

Now I am being threatened by a businessman like this...

But, they are indeed the ones who are in the wrong.

"What do you want?" Nafis said, suppressing his anger.

Wang Que raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Remove all commercial restrictions and allow my Chamber of Commerce to trade freely."

This sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems like bullshit.
