Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

"That thing isn't exactly rare; any immortal with even a slight understanding of space can make it."

"However, if you go to their door empty-handed to ask for it, it might be difficult to get it."

Ye Hai's eyes lit up: "Not rare? Then do you have one?"

"No."

Morax replied directly.

The only purpose of the Dust Song Pot is to serve as a portable house for outdoor shelter.

Only people like the Liyue Heralds, who like to live in remote wilderness areas, would specifically make them.

Essentially, it compresses a certain space in the Teyvat world into it. Although it can achieve the effect of a hidden world, it still needs to leave an anchor point on the Teyvat continent.

It cannot exist independently outside the Genshin Impact world.

So for Morax, this is a pretty useless thing.

"Oh."

Ye Hai clicked his tongue in surprise; he had been hoping to get his hands on it directly from Zhong Li.

Ye Hai's plan was simple: after obtaining the Dust Song Pot, he would submit it to the Main God. If nothing unexpected happened, the Main God's reward should be enough for him to put the person inside and take him away.

Although the Dust Song Jar can hold people, those things that reside in the Genshin Impact world will no longer be effective after they leave this world.

To put it simply, the characters remain within the Genshin Impact world.

Ye Hai pinned his hopes on the reward from the main god being an independent grotto-heaven, which would save him a large sum of money on taking people with him.

A one-way ticket across the world costs 500 reward points, and if there are many people, the burden can be quite heavy.

"However, I do know who has it."

Morax paused, his gaze distant, as if recalling some past event.

He took a small sip of tea and continued, "Gan Yu, the disciple of Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng, is currently in Liyue Harbor. She has a Dust Song Pot, which was given to her by her master many years ago."

"However, Gan Yu lives in the port and has a fixed residence. The Dust Song Pot is just an idle item for her and has not been used for a long time."

Ye Hai's eyes lit up: "Gan Yu? That's great! Could you please give me directions? I'll go find her right now!"

Morax, however, remained unhurried, setting down his teacup: "Although Gan Yu is gentle in nature, she does not easily give away items from immortals."

"If you want to obtain it, you need to show enough sincerity."

Ye Hai scratched his head and chuckled, "It's alright, I have a way."

As for Gan Yu, all you need to do is bring enough Qingxin (a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine) when you go to her.

Morax's gaze sharpened slightly. He didn't understand why Ye Hai seemed so confident, but Morax didn't pay too much attention to it. He simply said calmly, "In that case, good luck. Gan Yu is often near Yujing Terrace or the Seven Star Council Hall in Liyue Harbor. You can go and find her."

"But remember, the contract with Liyue is of paramount importance. Once you have come to Liyue, please abide by the laws of Liyue, which are based on the contract."

Ye Hai's origins are unknown, yet he possesses divine authority, prompting Morax to issue a warning.

Ye Hai nodded, stood up, and bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty! I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he swayed and the power of wind transformed into a gentle breeze, instantly disappearing outside the teahouse, leaving only a slight gust of air brushing against the teacup.

Morax stared at the direction he had left, his gaze lingering for a long time: "The aura of Ishtar."

"A visitor from across time...?"

Chapter 161 Chensong Pot

Ye Hai rode the wind all the way and soon arrived at Liyue Harbor.

Five hundred years ago, Liyue Harbor was not as prosperous as it is today, but it was already a bustling place with merchants and people.

Near Yujingtai, shops line the streets and pedestrians come and go in a constant stream.

It was as if the war in Canria had no effect on them at all.

That's true. Kanria is far from Liyue, and besides, it's against the natural order that ordinary people wouldn't be conscripted.

Therefore, the impact of this war on ordinary people in Liyue can be said to be negligible.

Ye Hai stood atop Yujing Terrace, overlooking the landscape of Liyue Harbor.

I found a small food stall in the harbor and spent some Mora to have the chef make me some refreshing dumplings.

It is a sweet dessert with a soft and chewy outer layer and a filling of refreshing flower petals and honey. It has a delicate and sweet taste and is Gan Yu's favorite.

Qingxin was picked by him personally.

Although Qingxin's location is quite tricky, fortunately, Ye Hai can now fly.

Holding the steaming food box, Ye Hai followed the wind and quickly found Gan Yu.

She was standing on a high platform, holding a stack of documents, tidying them up with her head down, a hint of fatigue between her brows.

Her unicorn horn gleamed softly in the setting sun, and her blue and white dress swayed gently in the wind.

"Miss Gan Yu?"

Ye Hai approached, revealing a friendly smile, and held up the food box. "Freshly made refreshing dumplings, would you like to try some?"

Gan Yu looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her azure eyes, followed by a wary look: "Who are you?"

However, when she smelled the aroma wafting from the food box, her eyes softened noticeably.

"My name is Ye Hai. I learned of your existence from the Rock King Emperor and have come here specifically to pay you a visit."

Ye Hai opened the food box and handed over a dumpling: "This is made with the freshest Qingxin (a type of herb), absolutely authentic."

"The Emperor..."

Gan Yu hesitated for a moment, but the temptation of tranquility was too great.

In addition, there was the sense of trust that came from the Emperor's introduction.

She finally took the dumpling, took a small bite, and the sweet taste instantly melted in her mouth, relaxing her tired expression.

"Mmm...it's really delicious, thank you."

She spoke softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Ye Hai sat down next to him and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Seeing how busy you are, it's good for you to relax. By the way, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Gan Yu looked up while eating a dumpling: "What is it?"

Ye Hai cleared his throat: "I heard you have a Dust Song Pot, which was given to you by True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng? I'd like to buy it; the price is negotiable."

Gan Yu was stunned for a moment.

She blinked, her tone hesitant: "The Dust Song Pot... that was a gift from my master. It doesn't seem right to give it directly to someone else..."

She looked down at Qingxin Tuanzi, her face turning even redder, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

Cannibals are soft and short.

She had already eaten, so it was really difficult for her to refuse directly.

Gan Yu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "How about this, Mr. Ye Hai, if you can help me solve a problem, I'm willing to give you the Chenge Pot."

"What problem?"

Ye Hai's eyes lit up.

Gan Yu sighed and pointed to a temporary camp outside the harbor: "The recent war in Kanria has led to a large influx of refugees into Liyue."

"Most of them were penniless. If it weren't for Liyue providing food and shelter, they would probably have starved or frozen to death long ago."

"But they've just arrived here, and it will be difficult for them to find work and support themselves in the short term."

"Liyue's finances are limited, and we can't continue to provide unlimited relief like this."

"If this still can't be resolved, I'll have no choice but to ask the Rock King Emperor for help."

In Gan Yu's eyes, Morax was practically omnipotent; no matter how difficult the problem was, it was no problem for the Rock King Emperor.

While Morax can indeed solve this problem.

Because Mora herself was created by Morax, the rock god.

Since Liyue is short of Mora, Morax can manage to cope with the refugee crisis if it is willing to supply Mora in unlimited quantities.

I just don't know if it will cause inflation.

Looking down at the not-so-large Liyue Harbor, Ye Hai quickly came up with a solution: "That's simple, how about a work-for-relief program?"

"Work relief in lieu of work?"

Gan Yu looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Correct!"

Ye Hai pointed to Liyue Harbor: "Liyue Harbor is bustling now, but it is still small in scale and its infrastructure is not yet perfect."

“You can start a new round of infrastructure construction, such as building roads, expanding ports, and building markets, artificially creating job demand and recruiting these refugees as workers.”

"Giving them wages so they can support themselves will alleviate the financial pressure. After the project is completed, Liyue Harbor will be even more prosperous, killing two birds with one stone."

Gan Yu's eyes lit up. After thinking carefully for a moment, she nodded: "This method is indeed feasible! Qixing has been planning to expand the port, and this can be combined with that. I'll go and discuss it with them right away!"

She paused for a moment, then said sincerely, "If this can be done, I'm willing to give you the Dust Song Pot. Thank you, Mr. Ye Hai."

Ye Hai waved his hand and chuckled, "No problem at all! It's settled then, I'll wait for your good news!"

……

Things progressed even more smoothly than Ye Hai had imagined.

After Gan Yu returned, she told the Seven Stars of Liyue about this method.

The Seven Stars applauded the idea and immediately approved the launch of a new round of infrastructure projects.

Road construction, port expansion, and market building were among the projects that were quickly launched.

The refugees were recruited as workers, received wages, and supported themselves.

Liyue's financial pressure was immediately relieved, and the port became more vibrant.

A few days later, Gan Yu found Ye Hai and handed him the Chen Ge Pot.

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

It was shaped like an exquisite teapot, with ancient celestial patterns engraved on its surface. Holding it in your hand, you could feel a slight fluctuation in space.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye Hai."

Gan Yu bowed slightly: "I'll give you the Dust Song Pot. I hope it can help you."

Ye Hai took the Dust Song Pot and said with a smile, "Thank you! This thing will be of great use to me."

On a distant mountain peak.

Morax stood on high ground, looking at the bustling construction site, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Work-for-relief... an interesting idea."

"As expected... human governance can also allow Liyue to continue its prosperous legacy."

"It may even become more powerful."

"Perhaps that plan could have started sooner..."

A glint appeared in Morax's eyes.

Since being summoned by the divine law not long ago and personally destroying Kanria, Morax has begun to question life, oh no, I mean, divine life.

In his view, even someone as powerful as him could not defy the will of Heaven.

If Liyue continues to rely on the gods, one day it may become the next "Kanria"—easily destroyed by a higher being.

The immortals' spirit of exploration of the world is in no way inferior to that of the scientific fanatics of Kanria.

The reason they haven't been tried is simply because they haven't yet crossed the line into the realm of natural law.

Zhongli did not approve of Tianli's actions.
