Collapsing, the whole class turned into aliens upon waking up

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1774: 500,000 Mora! Mondstadt's bread has already reached 500,000 Mora!

Just as eager as Laiira was the crowd in the viewing space.

Perhaps this time we'll be able to see a glimpse of Mondstadt's past and some of Teyvat's secrets.

"Laira, do you know how many Mora bread in Mondstadt has gone up in price?"

The poet in blue gazed intently into Laiira's starry eyes. Upon hearing this, Laiira's shoulders trembled slightly: "I've lived in the church for a long time, so I haven't paid much attention to this kind of thing."

"500,000 Mora! Mondstadt bread has gone up to 500,000 Mora!"

Barbatos clenched his fist, his tone tense.

"Oh my God."

Amber couldn't help but gasp softly, 50 Mora? What kind of inflationary version of Mondstadt is that on the screen? A loaf of bread can cost so much.

"Wait a minute, Mondstadt doesn't seem to have ever seen bread prices rise to 50."

A moment later, Miss Amber seemed to realize something was wrong, and while talking, she held Earl Rabbit in her arms and fell into deep thought.

"What? This... this actually happened?"

On the screen, Laila's face turned pale upon hearing this, seemingly quite frightened by Barbatos's words.

"That's right. I heard that the Cat Tail Tavern has rioted, and those foolish noble forces seem to be making a comeback. I hope the Knights can launch a blitzkrieg against Fontaine."

And the mastermind behind all this, I can only tell you, is related to the green (green) element.

"Barbatos" said with a serious expression, and Laila was taken aback: "Green?"

"Did you know? That Little Lucky Grass King's favorite style is green, and his Tree World Descent skill can transform Mount Sumeru into a forest all over the mountains."

Barbatos suddenly revealed the situation in Sumeru, and upon hearing this, Laira subconsciously asked, "You mean, the culprit behind Mondstadt bread selling for 50 Mora is the grass god of Sumeru?"

“I didn’t say anything, Laila.”

As you know, just as water is the eyes and ears of that god of justice, wind is also my eyes and ears, capable of bringing me some interesting stories.

Moreover, sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing.

Barbatos did not choose to answer directly, but at this moment, Laira's trembling body seemed to have already made up her mind.

"Could this be an economic war launched by Sumeru?"

Taking a deep breath, Laiira asked the figure in front of her.

"Did you know that recently the assets of wind element crystals in the Knights of the West's foreign exchange reserves have depreciated by 12.7%? In addition, the port of Ormos is planning to impose an anti-dumping duty of 214% on cider, under the pretext of preventing alcohol-induced intellectual decline?"

And this is only one aspect of Mondstadt's current situation; apart from that...

Barbatos continued to spout various technical terms, and Laila responded with just as much strength.

No, are we in a Mondstadt?

Looking at the two people on the screen and listening to their conversation, Amber felt like she was about to fall asleep.

"It is an economic war of extremely high purity. As expected of the counterpart of the Demonic Marshal, the Little Auspicious Grass King's tactical path is quite brilliant. In addition, the creation of the information war and the academic authority hegemony can be described as a divine move."

The raven muttered to itself, leaving the jackal with many questions.

No, Raven, how did you understand that? You even know these things?

"Yes, some of the methods are like me traveling back in time to invest, which is really too much of a cheating for the market."

For example, modifying the impression of historical transaction records through World Tree data streams—there are simply too many information asymmetries between the two parties.

Bronya nodded in agreement, and the jackal, upon hearing this, could only say one thing.

Did Bronya just say something about how to boost ROI?

Thunder Dragon Horse, thinking about how you're still diligently analyzing day and night, I feel sorry for you.

On the screen, Laira seemed to have made up her mind: "Lord Barbatos, is there anything I can do for Mondstadt?"

“Very good, I admire your determination, Laila. As a genius of the darkest branch under the Church of the West Wind, I have always recognized your talent and potential.”

You are different from most people on Teyvat. You have the ability to monetize potential. I need you to infiltrate Sumeru as a spy to reverse Mondstadt's economic disadvantage.

To prevent danger, I specially forged a power for you.

Upon hearing this, Laila seemed somewhat excited and thrilled. Barbatos snapped his fingers, and countless phantom images of the starry sky appeared around him.

"I am a wisp of wind among a thousand winds, forming part of the whole collection of Barbatos."

My colleagues and I share information with each other. One of my colleagues, who is in charge of the Dark Multiverse, once created an unparalleled secret technique.

Its name is—Barbatos's Astound.

Once you've mastered the original version, describing your increase in power would involve the realm of fourth-level calculations.

The source of that power was Barbatos, the dark multiverse dragon, who had many dark warriors protecting him.

Each year, the Dark Warriors select the weakest group to fill the ranks of the Dark Knights, the force they outwardly display.

Although I have no intention of forming a Dark Warriors faction, I can make an exception for them.

I have connected you to a constellation, so that you can use its power in battle.

As Barbatos finished speaking, the surrounding stars trembled, leaving only a vast expanse of starry sky.

"The name 'Dark Warrior' is too dark. How can it be worthy of those of us who are working to make Mondstadt's economy great again?"

Our character can be described as saintly, and in finance, gold is naturally the key; the gold standard is the choice of many civilizations.

"I've made my decision. From today onward, you will be the Gold Saint of Gemini, Raira, protecting Wendy."

As Barbatos finished speaking, the Gemini robe materialized from his body.

"Hey, that celestial phantom, does it look like a suit of armor?"

Laila said subconsciously, and Barbatos shook his head upon hearing this: "No, no, no, don't worry about such details."

"Compared to Saint Cloth—no, armor—a robe suits you much better. After all, you can't be hiding in Sumeru wearing that kind of armor all the time; it's just too conspicuous."

"In addition, I also asked you to borrow the learning permission of a secret technique from a powerful figure. This secret technique is the supreme secret of the spiritual energy lineage, and it is called One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones."

With this secret technique, combined with the power inscribed on the robes I gave you, you can single-handedly recreate the awe-inspiring power of Barbatos, the supreme mystery of the Dark Multiverse.

As he spoke, Barbatos took out a book. The person on the screen was clearly another Barbatos, different from Wendy and different from the dragons of the Dark Multiverse.

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1775: The Real Reason the Lady Infiltrated the Fools Was...

"For the future of Mondstadt, the economic war of Mount Sumeru... I will resolve it!"

At this moment, Lyra's gaze was unwavering. She seemed to be Vanessa's reincarnation, a warrior fighting for the people of Mondstadt.

"Ying, a heroic figure indeed."

Looking at Laila on the screen, even Kiana found her radiance dazzling.

"However, why did the future turn out that way? The story of a hero falling from grace is not a good one."

Theresa looked at the screen and immediately made a sarcastic remark. The scene on the screen then returned to the Star Palace belonging to Laira.

The moonlight was quiet, and the starlight was as bright as the moon in the sky.

"Barbatos' spy, the one who once swore to defend Mondstadt to the death, is dead. Now there is only one being who is determined to change Mondstadt once again."

"The Wind God is tyrannical; the throne of Mondstadt is mine to claim!"

His tone was unwavering, and the stragglers nodded in agreement: "I see, is it for power?"

"Rather than let Mondstadt be ruled by Barbatos, I, Laiira, shall rule it."

Laila's tone was decisive, and the stragglers who heard this were somewhat curious: "Where has your plan progressed, Laila?"

"Of course, it's through force. In the financial field, Barbatos is the real terrifying powerhouse. No one understands economic warfare better than Barbatos."

Comparing yourself to Barbatos in this respect is foolish. Even Dolly, a woman I've met with a decent business mind, is nothing more than a firefly compared to Barbatos's terrifying economic mind.

Facing Barbatos, who was as radiant as the moon, Dolly had no chance of victory.

"Hey, Lord Barbatos, you know so much about finance?"

Amber in the viewing area remarked subconsciously, while the skirmisher on the screen asked a similar question: "Barbatos? As far as I know, he's not involved in the financial field."

“Foolish. The Fools are nothing but a bunch of fools. How could they possibly see the terror that Barbatos possesses in the financial world?”

That terrifying dominance was enough to dim Dolly's luster, make Tianquan lose its luster, and even Morax exclaimed that at the end of the economic world, who would reign supreme? Upon seeing Barbatos, all hope seemed lost.

Did you know that the Little Lucky Grass King once made a comment about Barbatos?

When the goddess of liberty begins lending money, even the stars become tools for money laundering. Don't try to understand the terror of Barbatos' invisible hand with your own limited understanding.

Laila suddenly turned to the side, her gaze towards the skirmishers revealing an undisguised wariness towards Barbatos.

"Economic warfare is absolutely not the way to deal with Mondstadt. We need to suppress them directly with force. I have already prepared to secretly contact the spies I have planted in Mondstadt. When the time is right, we will immediately launch an attack!"

"At that time, why shouldn't I, Laiira, sit on the throne of the Wind God?"

"Should I play along and say something like, 'I've spent half my life wandering aimlessly, only regretting that I haven't met a wise lord. If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to be the sharp blade that shatters Mondstadt. In that case, you become the Great Wind God, and I'll be appointed as the Lesser Wind God?'"

The soldier's unassuming figure carried a rare hint of humor, but Laila showed no intention of believing him at this moment:

"I don't think you have any attachment to worldly power. In my understanding, the only thing you seek is to ascend to the throne of God, using the seal of the Thunder God as the key, to ascend to godhood in Sumeru and step into the omnipotent realm. Is that your goal, Scatter Soldier?"

Well, once you reach that level, you might be able to move up a row in the Fools' group.

At this crucial moment, I don't think you have the time or inclination to get involved in my never-ending war with Barbatos.

Faced with Laiira's words, the skirmisher nodded: "It is my long-cherished wish to ascend to godhood with the official seal issued by Sky Island, which is full of divine glory. I really have no interest in participating in your war with Barbatos."

As for the seats... if I had just ascended to godhood, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get into any of them.

Although the Ice Queen recruited a few simple-minded and physically weak guys to keep everyone at the bottom in order to maintain the atmosphere of the Fatui and make everyone feel more at ease.

And by ensuring the overall confidence of you as executives of combat power through those guys, the overall level of executives has dropped considerably, but it must be admitted that there are still some strong individuals among the Fools.

The top three are undoubtedly all omnipotent powerhouses, and the fourth, the "father" of the Hearth House, has also reached the peak of the second node, only one step away from the omnipotent universe level.

Upon hearing this, Kiana in the viewing area subconsciously said, "So, that's why that lady is so bad?"

"Probably, but the psychological pressure on the executives in the back row is a bit too much. Could it be that the lady chose to foolishly challenge Thor because of excessive pressure?"

Theresa spoke thoughtfully, while the jackal, upon hearing this, showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

Ha, hypocrisy.

The Demon General is pretending to be a good guy again. In his memory, Theresa has been ruthless in secret for a long time. It's really something that she can pretend to be a good person in the movie theater.

"Wait, Raven, why are you staring at me?"

Just then, noticing the gaze from the side, the jackal instinctively said...

Silence is the space for watching the movie at this moment.

We know that Raven is the usurper of fate, Hare is the dream master, Raiden Mei is one of the most outstanding young people, and Night Owl is the shadow of the imaginary number, so... what about Jackal?

Oh, okay, there's also Gray Serpent and Thunder Dragon Horse, but these two are probably related by connections.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the jackal was drenched in sweat.

Wait, that's not right.

Why does my situation resemble that woman's?

Oh no, could it be that I was chosen by the Lord to be an executive because I am weak enough, have no background, and am loyal enough to the World Serpent?

The jackal fell into deep thought.

Among the World Serpent's executives, excluding those two who have connections, it seems that Mei herself has seriously dragged down the average level. Hmm, Mei should be considered second to last for now.

While the jackal was questioning his existence, Tesla suddenly realized the blind spot in the matter:

"Speaking of which, wait a minute, if Barbatos' economic methods are so terrifying, how come the price of bread in Mondstadt has risen to 50 Mora?"

"I imagine the darkness behind it is unimaginable."

Ai Yin gazed intently at Tesla on the screen, her tone filled with emotion.

If Barbatos can become the god of wind on this chessboard where the strong make their moves, then what kind of person is he?

Judging from the antiquity of this being, its age is probably more than the amount of rice it has eaten.

Barbatos, this being who exists in himself and even in reverse entropy, must be treated with caution.

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1776: Barbatos is tyrannical, I, Laiira, shall take the throne of the Wind God myself!
