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

Have you ever heard of angel investors?

Ye Hai stroked his chin and said.

"what is that?"

Ningguang looked completely bewildered.

She doesn't even know what an angel investor is, let alone an angel investor.

Ye Hai couldn't help but smile when he saw Ning Guang's bewildered expression.

He crouched down to her eye level and patiently explained, "Angel investors are people who see the potential in others before they succeed and then provide them with financial support."

"It's not about lending money or buying things, but about believing that you can grow your business into a big and successful company in the future, so we're giving you money to help you get started."

"Once you succeed, they will benefit from it."

Ningguang tilted her head, nodded as if she understood, her little brain churning: "It sounds...like gambling?"

"But why are they called angels? What is an angel?"

Ye Hai continued, "Angels are legendary good people who help others without expecting immediate returns."

"Investors are the same way; they're not betting on luck, but on a person's potential."

"Like right now, I think you have great potential, so I want to invest in you."

Ningguang's eyes widened, her mouth forming an "O" shape: "Invest in me? Why? I'm just a seashell seller, I don't have anything worth investing in."

"Oh no."

“Ningguang, do you know that I’ve been observing you for a long time?”

"I think your business acumen is absolutely extraordinary."

Ye Hai started to lie, since Ningguang didn't know the truth anyway.

"If someone gives you initial capital, you can most likely build a business empire—starting from a shell stall, becoming a big merchant, and even controlling the trade of Liyue."

"I've decided to invest all of my Mora in you."

Ningguang's face flushed slightly, and she took a half-step back in a flustered manner, shaking her head: "But... I'm so young, how could I..."

"It's such a happy decision."

"Let's head to Liyue Harbor now."

"I'll hand over Mora to you after I find a place to settle down."

Ye Hai ignored Ningguang's refusal and directly took her hand, walking towards Liyue Harbor.

He has over three million Mora now. If he gives it all to Ningguang at once, this girl won't have the strength to carry it back.

Ningguang tried to pull her hand away, but Ye Hai held it tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.

The little girl stumbled as she followed Ye Hai, almost dropping the seashell in her hand.

"Could it be that we've run into human traffickers?"

Ningguang thought to herself with some nervousness.

What angel investor would suddenly take a liking to such a young girl? Ye Hai's current behavior is exactly that of a human trafficker.

But the weak and powerless Ningguang had no ability to resist at this moment.

Fortunately, judging from the direction, Ye Hai was leading her towards Liyue Harbor.

Once you reach Liyue Harbor, you can seek help from the local Thousand Rock Army.

Having figured this out, Ningguang stopped resisting and let Ye Hai pull her forward.

In this desolate place, if she were to fall out with someone who seemed to be a human trafficker, the only one who would get hurt would be this little girl.

Chapter 164 Gan Yu's Clothes

Upon arriving at Liyue Harbor, before Ningguang could even find an opportunity to seek help from the Thousand Rock Army, Ye Hai led her into a clothing store.

He said to the shopkeeper, "Get this little girl a few sets of clothes, something clean and suitable for a girl."

Ningguang was stunned for a moment. They actually bought her clothes. Was it to dress her up nicely so they could sell her for a better price?

Her eyes flickered slightly. It seemed there was no need to rush to find Qian Yanjun. After buying the clothes, she could have Qian Yanjun arrest this person.

That way I can get several sets of clothes for free.

The shop owner nodded upon hearing this, then turned and walked towards the back of the shop to get a few sets of ordinary children's clothes.

But Ye Hai's gaze was suddenly drawn to a piece of clothing hanging on the shelf of the booth.

It was an exquisite little girl's dress, white and yellow, with the main body made of pure white silk fabric, light as a cloud. The hem was embroidered with golden Liyue traditional patterns, like blooming glass lilies. The collar and cuffs were decorated with fine gold trim. The overall look was gorgeous yet elegant, exuding a noble air.

Huh?

Isn't this just a miniature version of the outfit Ningguang wore in the children's version?

Ye Hai's eyes lit up, and he immediately pointed to the clothes and said to the shopkeeper, "Wait, take that one."

The shopkeeper paused, glanced back at Ningguang, who was dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dust, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded him, "Sir, that garment is one of our shop's prized possessions, and it costs 80,000 Mora."

"How about I get the little girl a few ordinary clothes?"

Ye Hai didn't reply. He simply took out a bag of golden Mora from his backpack and put it on the counter.

The bag was heavy, weighing at least over 100,000. The metallic sheen of the Mora shone brightly in the sunlight, instantly brightening the air in the shop.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he quickly wiped his hands, his face beaming with a smile: "Oh, what a generous customer! I'll take it down right away."

He immediately and carefully took the clothes off the rack, folded them, and handed them to Ye Hai.

Ningguang stared wide-eyed at the gorgeous dress, her heart pounding.

She had never seen such beautiful clothes, let alone worn them.

Ye Hai took the clothes, patted them with satisfaction, and the gold trim shimmered slightly in his palm.

He glanced at Ningguang; the little girl was still standing there, her eyes fixed on the clothes, clearly liking them very much as well.

This boss, aside from anything else, was incredibly fast at counting money. He quickly counted out 80,000 Mora and then handed the empty bag back to Ye Hai.

"Let's go, Ningguang, let's find a place to change clothes~"

Ye Hai took the bag and smiled, then took her small hand and walked out of the shop.

Ningguang felt uneasy, wondering where Ye Hai was taking her.

But she didn't struggle and let Ye Hai pull her along.

The street was bustling with people. She wanted to call out to Qian Yanjun, but she hadn't received the clothes yet. What if she called out and the beautiful clothes were confiscated as stolen goods?

She bit her lip and followed.

Ye Hai led her to a secluded alley, stopped, and took out the small, exquisite grotto from his pocket.

Before Ningguang could react, he activated the Cave Heaven Pot. A soft light flashed, and the two figures gradually faded into the pot.

Unlike the Dust Song Pot, the Cave Heaven Pot did not remain in place, but disappeared along with Ye Hai and the others.

This was actually Ye Hai's first time entering the Cave Heaven Pot. After obtaining it that time, he only used his consciousness to probe into the Cave Heaven Pot to check its size.

Actually, Buyer was the first person to enter the Cave Heaven Pot.

Ye Hai and Ning Guang only felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and then the majestic mountain peaks came into view.

The mountain peaks pierce the clouds, their summits shrouded in mist. Layer upon layer of golden pavilions and towers float like celestial palaces, bathed in sunlight, making the entire space seem like a dream.

The mountains are shaded by lush trees, with colorful flowers dotting the dense forest. Waterfalls cascade down from the heights, forming crystal-clear rivers where fish swim happily.

The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the freshness of grass and trees, and the distant mountains were layered upon each other, shrouded in mist.

"Emerald Peak?"

Ye Hai was also taken aback. Why did the inside of this Cave Heaven Pot look so familiar?

It seems that the main god not only deduced a higher-level magic weapon, but also upgraded the original Dust Song Pot and threw it back to him as a reward.

Although it wasn't very similar, Ye Hai could still vaguely see the shadow of the scene from his previous life's game.

However, it's not just a simple Cui Dai Peak; it's more like a Cui Dai Peak PROMAX version.

Why is it Cui Dai Peak? Shouldn't Luofu Cave usually be the starting scene?

Could it be because the Dust Song Pot came from Gan Yu before?

Gan Yu likes to stay on high mountains. It's not surprising that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, who takes care of her disciple, would make a Chen Ge pot with a Cui Dai Peak scene for Gan Yu.

Ningguang was completely stunned, her mouth agape, her eyes filled with surprise and shock.

She had never seen such a place before, and her little hands instinctively gripped Ye Hai's clothes tightly, forgetting her earlier wariness.

Just then, a gentle voice came from behind: "It seems you brought back a poor little guy."

Ye Hai turned his head and saw Buyer standing there barefoot, her white and tender toes as smooth as jade, her long hair cascading down like a silver waterfall, and her emerald green eyes like a clear spring.

"How familiar..."

Ningguang murmured unconsciously after seeing Buyer.

As the former Grass God, Buyer was originally the embodiment of the World Tree. Even though he has been severed, Ningguang still feels a strange sense of familiarity when she sees Buyer.

"Little guy, what's your name?"

Buyer bent down and rubbed Ningguang's little head.

"Ningguang."

Ningguang blushed and responded somewhat awkwardly.

"Are these your new clothes? Come on, come inside with me, I'll take you to wash up and then change."

Buyer took Ningguang and her clothes from Ye Hai, and then led Ningguang into the main house on Cui Dai Peak.

The main house (Nuoqian Zhao) has a large space.

Two layers.

Each floor has more than four bedrooms.

There is also a large living room in the middle.

After Buyer led Ningguang into one of the bedrooms, Ye Hai wandered around the living room casually.

It's quite strange that all the furniture is complete. Could it be that the God of God took pity on us and provided everything?

Ye Hai walked to a table and touched it, feeling the marks of use.

It's an old decoration.

Ye Hai went into another bedroom and opened the wardrobe inside.

Well, they even have clothes.

Ye Hai glanced at it and knew it belonged to Gan Yu, since she always wore that outfit.

We can conclude that the God of War simply modified the Dust Song Pot and then threw it back at him.

However, Gan Yu didn't tidy up before giving the Chenge Pot to Ye Hai, and even left her own clothes inside the pot.

This surprised Ye Hai.

Chapter 165 Reencounter with Gan Yu

"Strange, I remember there should be a spirit inside the Dust Song Pot, right? Could it have disappeared after it became the Cave Heaven Pot?"

In the living room, Ye Hai, who had toured the entire main house, stood in the center of the hall, deep in thought.

As I was pondering this, Buyer's voice came from the direction of the bedroom.

Ye Hai turned his head and saw Buyer leading Ningguang out.

Xiao Ningguang had just washed up; her bright, delicate face glowed with a rosy luster, and her long, damp hair clung to her cheeks, dripping with tiny water droplets, making her look incredibly charming.
