"According to the current progress, it will take at least several months to fully gather the power of heaven and earth in Liyue Harbor and the surrounding areas, and then we will have to go to other directions."

The depressed feeling in his heart gradually faded away. Although a few months was not a very long time, it was enough for Yu Qi.

After all, he was a young man in his twenties. Although he had a rather casual personality, he was suddenly transported to a different world. In fact, besides being excited, he couldn't help but have some thoughts of traveling around, just to experience the customs of the different world.

I decided to settle down in Liyue Harbor because I had the habit of lying down. Now that I have the 'eating air concept' as a driving force, I don't mind going out for a few more walks.

"Anyway, according to my current progress, even if I can't extract any good stuff in the next few months, my strength will probably be comparable to that of an immortal by then...right?"

Recalling the power that he had seen Granny Ping display when she opened up the cave, Yu Qi made an estimate. Although he was not sure whether that was Granny Ping's full strength, generally speaking, he should not be much behind by then.

Combined with the detonating nuts, the 'Want to eat?' skill, and the fact that food is the most important thing for the people, there should be enough basic life-saving power.

"Then it's settled. I'll go to other places in a few months and treat it as a trip. I'll see that the scope of the power of heaven and earth that I've swallowed is currently centered on Liyue Harbor, including Guyun Pavilion, Tianheng Mountain, Lingju Pass, and Qingxupu."

'Then there are Jueyunjian, Nantianmen, Chenyu Valley, Luhuachi, Guiliyuan, Yaoguangtan, Dihuazhou, and Qingcezhuang. There seem to be only these three... Wait, what the hell is this huge rock abyss? Is it something that cannot be touched by three things?'

Scratching his head and feeling the dim Liyue terrain in his body, Yu Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of realization.

"Look carefully, Liyue is not a small place, no wonder it took so long, but looking at the division of this area... the so-called power of heaven and earth is actually divided according to the ground veins, right?"

"Why does it feel like this is completely different from the concept of 'heaven and earth' that I knew in my previous life?"

Gradually, his mind emerged with the memory of the many times he used the element of grass to connect the earth veins, and the inexplicably felt majestic veins that ran through the entire earth.

Although many places were quite vague, after comparing them one by one, Yu Qi was still able to roughly determine that this division was based on the subtle differences between the ground veins.

"Is it because the world is different? ! Yes, no wonder; the power of heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth..." Looking up at the vague shadow of the island in the sky, Yu Qi's expression was slightly dazed.

"Heaven, should refer to the elemental power that permeates this world, or the light world power... No! " Recalling the strange scene he saw before, Yu Qi's eyes flashed.

"It is impossible to achieve the current situation by simply absorbing the power of the light world. Therefore, the sky should refer to the high sky, that is, the rules set by the heaven for this continent."

"And, instead of the Earth, it should be the vein that runs through the entire continent of Teyvat, carrying all the information and history, or in other words, the World Tree!"

'And I myself, represent the person who carries everything, although weak, but has infinite possibilities! '

The Taiping Jing says: "The primordial qi is in a state of confusion and naturally condenses into one, which is called heaven. It separates and produces light and becomes earth, which is called two. Because heaven is above and earth is below, yin and yang combine to give birth to human beings, which is called three."

"Tao Te Ching, Chapter 42": "Tao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets all things. All things bear the Yin and embrace the Yang, and the rushing Qi makes them harmonious."

'The so-called three talents, heaven and earth are external factors, because the world is different, there will be differences, only I, this person, is the root; 'each gets its harmony to live, each gets its nourishment to grow'... So that's it! '

With a light chuckle, Yu Qi shook his head, casually clicked on the card pool, and looked at the golden finger that came with him, his expression a little dazed.

'Even the 'food qi' produced by the golden finger will naturally adjust to the rules due to the differences between heaven and earth, so why should I be restrained and stand still?'

The solemnity between his brows slowly faded away, and the hesitation that had accumulated from living in the high-pressure society on Earth also gradually dissipated. Yu Qi smiled and blinked, looking at the bright sunshine around him, his eyes full of light.

"You..." Lei Dianzhen's hesitant voice sounded in her ears. Looking at Yu Qi who was in high spirits, she seemed to have thought of something.

But after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask.

"What changes have occurred in you just now?"

Hearing this, Yu Qi did not deny it, but he did not reveal everything either. He was not a fool, so he just said vaguely: "I just figured out some things."

"Is that so?" After looking Yu Qi up and down, Lei Dianzhen nodded secretly in her heart, but she didn't think Yu Qi was lying to her.

She could naturally see that although Yu Qi acted very confident and calm when they first met, he could not help but reveal some hesitation, cowardice, inferiority and other emotions in his words, actions and eye contact.

Lei Dian really didn't know where these emotions came from, but there was no doubt that Yu Qi's initial mentality did have some problems. He was too casual and didn't take many things to heart.

Doing nothing is like living just to eat and wait for death.

Therefore, he did whatever he thought of these days, was overly sensitive to various things, and was particularly hesitant about "committing" himself to Ganyu.

And now, although it was only a momentary change, there was no doubt that Yu Qi's temperament, expression, and eyes began to gradually change, becoming proud, confident, and vigorous.

He now truly has the demeanor that a young person should have, rather than the mentality of an old man.

"...Congratulations!" Although he didn't know what Yu Qi had communicated with, Lei Dianzhen still congratulated him quietly.

Of course, it is hard to say whether this congratulations refers to Yu Qi’s change in mentality or something else.

"Haha, thank you very much." With a loud laugh, Yu Qi did not think too much about it. After accepting Lei Dianzhen's congratulations, he looked up at the Inazuma woman who was still wolfing down her food beside him, then turned around and continued to look at the endless ocean in front of him.

However, compared to the initial uneasiness and confusion, he felt much more relaxed at the moment. Looking at the faintly visible mountaintops on the distant horizon, Yu Qi's heart moved and he suddenly asked.

"Zhen, if you want to travel, is there any good place to go in Liyue?"

"Travel?" I didn't expect Yu Qi to suddenly ask such a question. Lei Dianzhen thought carefully for a moment before saying, "It's hard to say. After all, you know that I have been dead for more than 500 years."

"I'm not sure if the topography of Liyue has changed in the past five hundred years, or if the various scenes I remember still exist."

"It's okay, just talking about it. When the time comes, I can buy a new version of the map and compare them one by one."

Yu Qi could understand Lei Dianzhen's thoughts. After all, this world had demons and their followers who were powerful enough to move mountains and fill the sea. No one knew whether there would be large-scale changes in the terrain of Liyue due to various reasons in the past five hundred years.

'Okay, I'll tell you then.'

"As for the scenery in Liyue, I would recommend Luhua Pond first..."

Time passed slowly as the questions and answers continued. After about ten minutes, the Inazuma woman finally finished the food in her hand slowly.

It’s not that she ate too slowly, but Yu Qi saw that she was very hungry and one portion of food didn’t seem to be enough to fill her up, so he gave her another portion.

"Huh..." The woman exhaled forcefully with a breath of food-scented air, raised her hand and touched her stomach. She then carefully picked up the food crumbs stuck on her clothes and stuffed them into her mouth. After being busy for a while, she remembered Yu Qi who was standing next to her.

She looked up at him cautiously, and her gaze met Yu Qi's smiling eyes. A blush suddenly appeared on her face, and then she suddenly bowed to him to thank him.

"Well, thank you very much for the food, I'm just, very hungry, so, so..."

With a flushed face, the woman seemed to want to explain her embarrassing eating habits just now, but she didn't know how to explain it while she stammered, and stood there for a while.

"It's okay." Shaking his head, Yu Qi interrupted the woman's words. He didn't care much about it: "It's just a little help, it's not worth anything!"

"No, this is different." The woman raised her head carefully and glanced at Yu Qi, then quickly lowered her head, keeping the posture of bowing: "If it weren't for you giving me food, I would have fainted from hunger today, and I don't know what would happen."

"I will remember your kindness, sir. I don't know your name, but I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future!"

"Uh, that's not necessary." Looking at the woman in front of him in silence, Yu Qi reached out and gently helped her up, then changed the subject without leaving a trace: "By the way, I don't know your name yet, and why are you here?"

"Besides, logically speaking, in Liyue, even if you do odd jobs, it should be enough to support yourself, right? How could you be so hungry?"

"I..." After hesitating for a moment, the woman looked around and found that there was no one around. Then she said in a low voice, "Sir, my name is Zhuzi. I came here illegally from Inazuma."

Chapter 101 Why don't you come to my house?

As Zhu Zi slowly told the story, Yu Qi gradually understood what had happened to her. Of course, all of this was also heard carefully by Lei Dianzhen and Hu Zhaigong in Lei Lang's heart.

It turns out that Zhuzi is indeed a person from Inazuma. She has lived in the suburbs of Inazuma City and in the fields with her parents since she was a child. She has an unspeakable yearning for the ocean and longs to pursue her own freedom.

Originally, she actually planned to join the Adventurer's Guild and become an adventurer after she came of age, or to board a ship of a certain Chamber of Commerce and leave Inazuma to make a living.

She had been preparing for this for many years, and even secretly practiced the boat-handling techniques many times.

But, things never stop changing.

Just in the past year, Inazuma's situation suddenly changed drastically. Somehow, the shogunate issued an order prohibiting entry into the open sea.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the local chamber of commerce in Inazuma needs to go through multiple approvals of the "Kanjo Bugyo" if they want to go out sailing, and foreign chambers of commerce are forced to stay on the outlying islands and are not allowed to leave.

Therefore, Zhuzi couldn't find any chance to sail far away...

Originally, she thought that such an order would only last for a short time before being lifted, but she didn't expect that as time passed, the blockade not only did not ease but became even tighter.

Even fishing boats are sometimes not allowed to enter or leave the ocean.

The local chamber of commerce could not leave, various foreign imports were decreasing, and foreign chambers of commerce were found to be exploitative and were unwilling to come to Inazuma to do business.

Coupled with the disasters over the years, the oppression of the warriors under the Tenryo Bugyo, and the fact that more and more young people could not survive, they chose to leave their homes and become wandering warriors, wild people, and even sea monsters. For some reason, the number of monsters in the wild has increased...

All in all, the entire Inazuma seemed to have turned into a pot of boiling soup, in chaos. If Zhuzi's house had not been located relatively close to Inazuma Castle, it would have been looted by the noboris long ago.

In such an environment, Zhuzi felt that life was becoming more and more oppressive. Her longing for the sea and her yearning for freedom made her miserable...

"Just like that, when I was looking at the sea again... I had an idea on the spur of the moment, tied a small raft together, and went out to sea." Zhu Zi said these remarkable words with a relaxed look on his face, and then he looked up at the ocean in the distance.

"Not long ago, I finally arrived in Liyue. I originally wanted to find a job here, but because I was drifting on the sea for too long, my health was too poor, and I fell ill accidentally."

"By the time I finally recovered, I had spent most of the money I had with me. Plus, as a foreigner, it was hard to find a job. I barely found a temporary job at the dock two days ago and earned a little moola."

"Because I don't have enough money, and I have to keep Mora in the hotel, so I plan to spend less and only eat one meal a day..."

"..." Listening to Zhu Zi's story, Yu Qi was speechless for a long time. His heart was full of complaints, but he didn't know where to start.

Not to mention the matter of Inazuma, just the way Zhuzi arrived in Liyue is enough to make people stunned.

Come on, that's ocean sailing! Even in the ordinary oceans on Earth, there are various large cruise ships, and dozens of accidents happen every year.

Not to mention a fantasy world like Teyvat, where giant beasts roar and monsters run rampant in the sea, as well as various extreme environments caused by factors like demons...

Even if we had large ships like those on Earth, we would not be able to cross the ocean easily.

And what about Zhu Zi? On a whim, he relied on a small broken raft to cross the ocean and finally arrived in Liyue safely?

"What do you mean by the Chosen One?! Besides, your will to go to sea and your yearning for freedom are so strong, so you should be able to get an Eye of God, right?"

And then there’s…

"You only eat one meal a day, aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death?!"

"Uh." Recalling how he almost fainted from hunger just now, Zhuzi lowered his head in silence and murmured, "I just want to save some Mora. When my salary from working comes in tomorrow, I can barely make ends meet."

"...You'll starve to death before that!" Giving Zhuzi a helpless look, Yu Qi turned and asked, "By the way, you just said that the situation at Inazuma's place is very chaotic? Can you describe it to me in detail?"

"Ah?" I didn't expect Yu Qi to ask this. Zhu Zi was stunned and hesitated: "This is quite confusing."

As a farm girl, although she has great ambitions, she doesn't actually have much experience.

She knew very little about Inazuma's situation. After considering her words, she briefly said, "The Kanjo Bugyo was ordered to block Inazuma and not let anyone out. And the Tenryo Bugyo seemed to be fighting bandits every day."

"And then, during this period of time, they asked our family to collect food several times, saying that it was for military expenses, but in fact, all the food was pocketed by the warriors supported by the Tianling Fengxing!"

"Besides that, there is no other news."

Listening to Zhu Zi's somewhat rough description, Yu Qi's mouth twitched, and a chaotic scene of the 'end of the dynasty' involuntarily emerged in his mind.

"My goodness, has the situation of Inazuma become so bad?" Yu Qi couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and sighed.

He naturally understood that in such a fantasy world, the power of the gods was so great that it was enough to suppress all unrest, so no matter how chaotic the situation in Inazuma was, it was impossible for the country to be destroyed.

It's a pity for the people over there. I guess many of them were like Zhuzi, trying to sneak out but ended up encountering an accident and capsizing on the way.

And in Leilang's heart, ever since Zhuzi started telling about his experiences, the expressions of Leidianzhen and Huzhaigong became extremely silent. They sat at the stall without saying a word, their eyes calm.

"..." After waiting for a while, but Lei Dianzhen didn't speak, Yu Qi thought for a moment and looked at Zhu Zi, who still looked a little weak, and asked, "By the way, I just heard you say that you are doing odd jobs at the dock now?"

"Yeah." Zhu Zi nodded. Hearing Yu Qi's question, he subconsciously looked up at the sky, and then he suddenly realized: "Oh, so much time has passed. It's over. It's over. I'm going to delay my work!"

As he spoke, Zhu Zi hurriedly picked up the box from the ground, bowed to Yu Qi and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I have to go to work and haven't asked for your name yet. When I have time in the future, I will definitely find a way to repay your kindness."

Looking at Zhu Zi, who looked nervous but still stood there looking at him, Yu Qi was silent for a moment: "My name is Yu Qi."

"Yes, Lord Yu Qi!" After bowing to Yu Qi again, Zhu Zi ran to the other side of the dock with the box in his arms in a disorderly manner.

Standing there, Yu Qi looked at her panicked back in silence for a moment, but finally took a step and followed her.

All the way to the place where Zhu Zi worked, from a distance, Yu Qi saw her standing bent in front of a middle-aged man, being harshly scolded.

"What do you do? Do you know how much time I wasted just because of your small shipment?"

"I'm sorry, boss. I'm really sorry. I..."

"That's enough!" With a big wave of his hand, the middle-aged man impatiently threw down a small bag of Mora, turned around and said, "I took you in out of pity, but you usually procrastinate at work, and now you've delayed for such a long time."

"You can leave now. You don't have to continue working for me. This is your salary for the past two days. I won't deduct any money from you."

"I..." Zhu Zi held the Mora bag in his hand tightly and stood there, looking extremely helpless.

But she also knew that she had not eaten much in the past two days and did not have the energy to work. In addition, she had indeed wasted a lot of her boss's time today. After all, being able to get the wages for the previous few days was already considered a kindness on the other party's part.

"...Alas, I have to find a job again." Looking down at the Mora in his eye bag, Zhu Zi calculated it a little, and his expression was bitter: "This little Mora... Or, I should eat less."

"If you eat three meals a day, one or two days a day, you should be able to last a week."

"A week? With your body like that, I don't think you can last even three days." After listening to Zhu Zi's words, Yu Qi finally couldn't help but walked over and said, "You've been eating so little every day before, your body has already been damaged. If you continue to starve, something bad will really happen."

"Master Yu Qi, why are you here?!" Seeing Yu Qi, Zhu Zi was instinctively stunned for a moment, a trace of vigilance appeared on her face, and then she reacted, she said helplessly: "But the money is really not enough, and, we are only hungry for a few days, it shouldn't be..."
