Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Especially places like the House of Religious Orders that involve a lot of research and expenditure.

When there were no Liyue materials, they had to control the amount of materials when conducting experiments and did not dare to expand the experiments.

Now that we have been accustomed to almost unlimited elemental materials for a while, both the scale of experiments and the number of new experiments launched have exceeded the limits of Xumi's local material supply.

At this time, if we do not purchase materials from Liyue, all previous investments will be wasted.

Even some experiments that had just gotten on track failed directly and the project team was disbanded.

For businessmen, they can make choices. It is not a big deal to dissolve some projects that do not see profits for the time being.

However, the House of Representatives is not a businessman.

Although they have various questions, their thirst for knowledge is real.

Disbanding the experimental project team because of rising material prices?

If such words were spoken out, the mentor in charge of the project would go to the Palace of Wisdom and hang himself.

"Thirty percent is not enough."

"Those academic tycoons in the Ministry of Education have plenty of money."

Ningguang shook her head. She was the most radical person in Liyue.

"Double it."

Keqing and Tianshu exchanged a glance: "Won't this lead to a decoupling?"

We have finally gained a basic grasp of Xumi's elemental material market. If we lose touch with it due to price increases, it would be more trouble than it's worth.

"You underestimate the wealth of the Order of the Lords." Ningguang shook her head slightly. "Even if you triple the price, let alone double it, they can still afford it."

"Why not double it?" Keqing continued.

Ningguang glanced at her and said, "What about next time?"

Keqing suddenly stopped talking.

I doubled it this time and the other party took it. If there is any conflict next time, I can’t triple it, right?

Pressure must be applied step by step.

"Then it's decided. Let's notify Feiyun Chamber of Commerce." Seeing that Keqing and Tianshu were silent, Ningguang made the final decision.

The several illusory projections around did not speak a word from beginning to end.

End of the meeting.

...

Port of Ormos.

"Oh hahaha, the big merchant from Liyue is firing cannons outside Xumi City."

"Hahahaha, that's really funny."

"Then there should be panic in Xumi City right now."

"Let me think about it, let me think about it."

"Hey, hey, go quickly and turn our secret warehouse outside Xumi City into a safe house."

The short master Sangge Mahabayi didn't care why Wang Que fired.

Nor does he care how the House of Representatives will respond.

She only knew that selling a sense of security to insecure people was a very profitable business.

Under her instructions, someone will soon be selling so-called safe house tickets in Xumi City.

...

Outside Xumi City, at the camp of a certain Gilded Brigade.

"Elemental cannon, elemental cannon, hahahaha, yes, this is the thing, this is what we want."

A one-eyed desert dweller wearing an eyepatch laughed ecstatically.

As a loyal follower of the Red King.

Although he joined the Gilded Brigade and came to the rainforest to make a living, it does not mean that he is truly submissive to the rainforest in his heart.

In fact, he and his brigade currently belong to a group called the Legacy of the God-King.

Their greatest ideal is to resist the tyranny of the rainforest and restore the glory of the Red King.

Of course, that's just what I said.

In reality, the Legacy of the God-King is a gilded brigade that has completely lost its moral bottom line.

Because this brigade has a very bad rule.

As a member of the Legacy of the God-King, whether joining voluntarily or forced, one must leave a criminal record to show loyalty and to be used as a handle for blackmail.

Just looking at the rules, you can tell that this is not a good organization.

But no matter what, they were very happy to see the merchants from Liyue and the Order of the Lords having a conflict.

"Come on, let's contact this businessman through our secret line in Xumi City."

"We need this kind of weapon, no, we need something bigger and more powerful."

"We have to destroy that damn sand wall."

"Oh, by the way, tell Boss Wang that if he needs us, we, the Hand of Akhmar, are more than willing to accept his employment and launch an attack on the House of the Decrees."

...

Xumi City Cafe.

"That friend of yours did something remarkable."

Placing some miscellaneous books in front of Xingqiu, Alhaisen spoke in a complicated tone.

In fact, he had sensed yesterday that Wang Que might be a trouble.

After all, the knowledge recorded in the other party's notes is enough to prove how great this person is, but Elhaisen really didn't expect it.

In just one night, his premonition came true.

With a shot of thunder element cannon, Wang Que announced his presence to the entire Xumi City.

Even he had to look at Wang Que.

He wants to live a good life, do a simple job, and read a book every day.

But now it seems that whether he can continue to live like this depends on whether Wang Que will calm down.

"Ah? Haha, sorry, he's just angry. He's actually not a bad person." Xingqiu didn't know what to say, so he could only make amends for his friend.

Elhaisen shook his head slightly and pointed at the research notes in front of him. "A person who is blinded by anger cannot write such things."

"Your friend...maybe he's plotting some greater good."

Xingqiu was speechless.

He couldn't just say, 'Yes, Wang Que wants to start a war in Xumi'.

Seeing Xingqiu remained silent, Alhaisen continued, "Please tell your friend to leave Xumi with the floating city within two days."

Xingqiu was stunned: "Why?"

"Because if you're not lying and the Void attacked the floating city's control system, then this won't be the end. With the Void's computing power, even if the underlying logic is inconsistent, it can solve it in three days at most."

Elhaisen said calmly: "I don't want the conflict to escalate. It will disrupt my life."

Chapter 332 Nasida

"Boss, you are right."

"I went to the market management office of the Fatwa to do some work today. Although they don't like us, they are actually more efficient."

"We've already taken over the shop next to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. We've also started working on the Demon Scale Disease Potion. However, since it's a new potion, it needs to be approved by the Ordinance Council and confirmed to be safe before it can be released to the market. Even if we expedite it, it will still take several days."

The night of the firing.

Fu Xu returned to the floating city and found Wang Que with excitement, his eyes full of disbelief.

He originally thought that after the boss opened fire, the House of Lords would retaliate or even suppress them.

But there is none at all.

Not only was there no suppression as imagined, but things went smoothly all the way.

Many complicated procedures were completed at an extremely fast speed.

Even more efficient than when he was working in Liyue.

"That's normal. They don't want me to find an excuse to fire a second shot."

Wang Que was not surprised, as this was all within his consideration.

The Council of Religious Affairs is a typical example of a country ruled by scholars.

Although it cannot be generalized, if the academic atmosphere is too strong, it will lack bloodiness.

That’s what the House of Ordinances is like.

They dare to suppress internal forces, but when faced with external pressure, they dare not take action until they are sure enough.

Jade cannot be broken into pieces by tiles.

This is probably what the top leaders of the Council of Churches think.

"Anything else?" he continued.

Fu Xu immediately asked, "Regarding the visit, are we still going to host the scholars from the Ministry of Education in the Floating City tomorrow?"

This was previously applied for by the Ministry of Education, and Wang Que agreed to it.

But a lot of things happened today, which made Fu Xu a little unsure.

Wang Que looked at him: "Did they withdraw the application?"

Fu Xu shook his head: "No."

"In that case, we should be more generous and receive them normally. Except for the control center, laboratories, vaults and other places, they can look around as they please."

After a slight pause of one second, Wang Que smiled and said, "Can you show them our weapon system more?"

"If they want, you can fire another shot at them. For money, of course."

Wang Que didn't care about the visit from the Ministry of Rites.

Even if the other party noticed something, Wang Que didn't care.

The floating city is his property, but not his foundation.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Fu Xu nodded. With Wang Que's words, he knew what to do. "Also, the boss, some gilded brigades have contacted us through our guys and said they want to buy our elemental cannons."

Wang Que raised an eyebrow: "Can they afford it?"

It's not that he looks down on the Gilded Brigade.

Although these gilded brigades seem to have replaced adventurers and are making a lot of money.

But in fact, except for a few extreme groups, many gilded brigades do not use the money they earn for themselves.

They want to exchange money for resources and then send them back to the tribes in the desert.

This may also be the reason why many desert people who don’t like the rainforest would work honestly for the Ministry of Religion.

If they don't obey, the tribes in the desert will starve.

"The Gilded Brigade that contacted us was quite arrogant," Fu Xu said. "They said they had plenty of money."

Wang Que's eyes were thoughtful: "Did they say what their names were?"

"It's called the Hand of Akhmar." Fu Xu replied.

Wang Que pondered.

He had never heard of this name, but he knew the Eye of Akhmar and the Beard of Akhmar.

Most of these Gilded Brigades named after Akhmare are part of the Legacy of the God-King.
