Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

If someone can control the sandstorms, restore the ecology, allow the grass and trees to take root again, and let clear springs gush out of the ground...isn't this 'serving the country and the people'?"

"Wow, combining Xumi's ecological theory with Liyue's chivalrous spirit?"

Wang Que raised an eyebrow, then revealed a look of astonishment: "No wonder you're willing to work with me. Are you trying to see if I can bring a better life to the people here?"

He had previously told Xingqiu that his actions would disrupt some local order, but he was afraid that Xingqiu would not be able to accept it.

After all, disrupting order is, to a certain extent, against the spirit of chivalry.

But Xingqiu unexpectedly accepted it.

It seems that he combined ecological theory and chivalry to form a new concept.

Following Wang Que means putting this concept into practice.

Temporary disruption is for better governance.

You can't consider the holes dug for reforestation as damage to the desert environment.

This surprised Wang Que a little.

While he was making progress, his friends were not stagnant.

They are also learning and improving.

Although Xingqiu is an almost unchanging character in the game.

But in reality, everything he sees, hears, and learns is constantly changing him.

Gradually let Xingqiu form a more stable worldview.

And this change in Wang Que's eyes seemed to tell him that this world was real.

It is also telling him that nothing is fixed and unchanging. People change, and things change.

"Yes, I want to see how much change you can bring to this place. I also want to see how you can interpret the word 'hero'."

Xingqiu nodded, acknowledging Wang Que's statement.

"Tsk, this counts as you taking advantage of my social practice class. Remember to pay the tuition."

Wang Que let out a light click of his tongue, then looked towards the bottom of the floating city.

The huge floating city is like a suspended mountain, casting a shocking shadow under the scorching sun.

The lightning that had not yet dissipated intertwined and drew a blue-purple crack above the sand dunes, as if a fleeting wound had been torn in the sky.

And a few afterimages of the red eagle flock that dispersed and flew away.

These strange changes have attracted the villagers of Aru Village and some merchants with pack animals, and everyone is looking up at the sky.

However, there was surprise and shock in these people's eyes, but no fear.

It seems that as long as you are in Aru Village, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The reason for this phenomenon is naturally that someone has given them enough sense of security.

Wang Que turned his eyes slightly and soon found the source of his sense of security.

A woman in light clothing was looking at the floating city in front of a house.

To be precise, it was myself in the floating city.

The two of them looked at each other.

Wang Que naturally knew the other party's identity.

Candice, the guardian of Aru Village and a descendant of the Red King. Of course, the following information is questionable and may be a misinterpretation.

They should be the people of the Red King, not children.

Of course, this did not prevent Wang Que from being shocked by the other party's strength.

[Human female, life energy level 86]

Goldfinger gave the information.

Five levels higher than my senior sister.

"The desert... it really is home to hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

After being shocked for a moment, Wang Que quickly recovered.

This should actually be normal.

Candice's situation is not much better than her senior sister's.

My senior sister was abandoned and sacrificed since she was young, and was finally taken away by True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. In order to suppress the evil spirit, she devoted herself to cultivation, so she should be strong!

And Candice...if Wang Que's memory was correct, she should have taken over the position of guardian of Aru Village when she was eight years old.

In other words, when Candice was eight years old, she began to fight against various dangers in the desert and protect the village.

At this age, with this matter... Candice's theater should be in Naruto next door, not in Genshin Impact.

However, considering the age of one of Mondstadt's strongest fighters, it seems reasonable that he could be protecting the village at the age of eight.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this outrageous achievement that many people in the desert firmly believe that Candice, who has heterochromia, is the descendant of the Red King.

After a brief eye contact, Wang Que nodded slightly and smiled, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

The other party also smiled.

The floating city is still missing.

Wang Que, Xingqiu and some of their men carried the goods and took a floating platform to enter Aru Village.

"Hello, I'm Wang Que, and this is Xingqiu. We're merchants from Liyue, and we've come to the desert to do business and some personal business."

Wang Que did not look at the village chief Uncle Amp who was coming from a distance, but looked directly at Candice.

In fact, Candice has more say here than Uncle Amp.

Candice nodded slightly and said, "Welcome to Aru Village. As you can see, Aru Village now welcomes travelers from outside, but if you cause trouble, I will not let you go."

The tone was polite, but the words were not very polite.

This was actually her reaction to feeling seriously threatened.

If it is an ordinary merchant, Candice is as gentle as water, provided that he is a law-abiding person.

Only this time, before Wang Que did anything, she issued a warning first.

Candice knew that if she waited until Wang Que did something before warning him, it would probably be too late.

In fact, her feeling was right.

Aru Village is not small, but it cannot withstand a shot from the floating city.

"There's no need to be so vigilant. Although I came to the desert for personal matters, it's not targeting Aru Village." Wang Que smiled and didn't care about Candice's vigilance.

Candice relaxed a little. "If you need supplies, you can talk to Uncle Amp. If you need to communicate with other merchants, I can communicate on your behalf."

Wang Que was a little curious: "I seem to feel that those businessmen trust you particularly."

"Ahem, of course, they all came to Aru Village because of Candice."

The village chief came over coughing.

The old man named Uncle Amp smiled and continued, "Back then, in order to allow these merchants to enter the village to trade, Candice persuaded the other guardians."

The persuasion here obviously does not mean persuasion through eloquence.

The guardians are the ones who protect Aru Village, and they... always speak with strength.

In other words, Candice defeated all the guardians of previous generations and won trade opportunities for merchants from the rainforest.

Wang Que suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the merchants around him were willing to entrust their safety to Candice.

Chapter 352 Transactions and Intelligence

Aru Village, Village Chief's House.

An Pu received Wang Que and Xingqiu very warmly.

"I've heard that Liyue is a very prosperous place, and merchants who have come here before have brought back stories about Liyue, but this is the first time I've seen a real Liyue merchant."

An Pu said with a smile, and there were some curious children around.

They grew up here, but their temperament was obviously different from the Gilded Brigade that Wang Que saw in Xumi.

The children in Aru Village seem to be closer to the children in the rainforest, and there is happiness on their faces.

It can be seen that although Aru Village may not have as rich resources as the rainforest, life is good there.

"If my trip goes well, more Liyue merchants will come here in the future."

Wang Que said with a smile, putting down the tea in his hand.

This is a desert-style tea that tastes more like milk tea and seems to be made from pack animal milk and desert date palm dried fruits.

Wang Que tried it and it was okay, the taste was good.

"What kind of business are you planning to do here?" An Pu asked. "We maintain friendly relations with most tribes in the desert. If you need anything, we can help you make an introduction."

"We have a lot. Food, cloth, ironware, and even weapons."

Wang Que replied.

That’s it, Candice’s eyes flashed.

An Pu nodded slightly: "These are the most needed commodities in the desert."

The main business of merchants coming from the rainforest is to transport the rich products of the rainforest to Aru Village, which will then purchase them and sell them to the tribes in the desert.

At the same time, Aru Village also purchases specialties from the desert and resells them to merchants in the rainforest.

With Candice's military guarantee, Aru Village became the middleman between the two sides.

This is actually a very healthy model.

At least a channel for communication has been established.

"Yes, but we will go deep into the Great Red Sand Sea. I want to buy a map of the desert from you."

Wang Que continued.

The Great Red Sand Sea occupies more than half of the area of ​​Xumi, so it is naturally impossible to be as small as in the game.

If you don't have an accurate map, you may not be able to find the tribe in the desert even if you drive into the floating city.

According to the information Wang Que had collected before, he could only find his way in the desert by taking the desert people's map and comparing it with the Red King's Mausoleum and some landmarks.

Otherwise, the never-ending sandstorm will teach anyone who underestimates the desert a lesson.

"Of course we have the map, but what can you offer in exchange?" Uncle Amp asked.

In fact, selling maps of the desert is also a source of income for Aru Village.

Not every tribe in the desert rejects the people from the rainforest.

On the contrary, the smaller the tribe, the more eager they are to have caravans come to their territory.

Those who oppose the rainforest are often large tribes that can still make a living.

While opposing the rainforest, they monopolized trade with the rainforest and used the traded goods to exploit other small tribes.

An alternative social system has been formed.

Human beings are truly a magical life form, and they can always form social systems of various forms.

"What do you need? Food, cloth, medicine, or weapons? I can trade them all."

Wang Que said with a smile.

He glanced at Xingqiu, who was completely oblivious to the discussion here. He had already become friends with some desert kids.

The candies from Xumi City were distributed from Xingqiu to the children, making him quickly become the king of the children.

I could faintly hear Xingqiu asking the children what fun things there were.

The children also responded enthusiastically.

He retracted his gaze and looked back at Amp and Candice: "Perhaps your children also need books. We have brought some books with us."

As soon as these words came out, Amp and Candice's eyes lit up.
