Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

But ordinary people are different. They don’t have unique veins to store elemental power, so they can only extract the elemental power in the blood cells.

It's like puncturing a cell and draining out the water inside. The punctured cell can no longer function normally, and the only cost is life."

Lin Zixuan stopped to fill the teacup and continued.

"After this incident, I believe that many people in Mondstadt will try to obtain the Evil Eye in various ways."

"How could that be? You'll die if you use it!"

"Uncle Fu, if you were an ordinary person, when you saw this kind of great power, would you refuse to obtain it? Even if there is a price to pay."

"This..." Uncle Fu thought for a moment. "It seems that I won't refuse... I was very envious of those who had the divine eye, so I saved money to do the medicinal bath. If the medicinal bath fails, I really won't refuse the evil eye."

"If the elemental power used by those God's Eye owners is like acrobatics, they will envy it but will not forcefully pursue it. The power of the Seven Gods is only in legends and is too far away for people to feel.

This time, this kind of power that surpassed everything was truly displayed in the eyes of the Mond people, and the impact it caused was enormous. One against seven combined level plus sending away the private army of nearly 800 people.

Especially those knights who survived that night, and the knights in the two remaining families in Mondstadt who do not have the Eye of God. For example, the patriarch of the Leggenfend family, give it away or sell it. Maybe Mondstadt will become a perfect base for the Evil Eye experiment. "

"Hiss...Is it that serious?"

"Now we just hope that the production of evil eyes will not be too large. I may have to trouble you to go to Mondstadt again. Go to meet the leader of the Knights in the name of Xuanyuan Trading Company. I believe that the leader of the Knights can still spare some time.

Although it may not have much effect, a friendly reminder is also a friendly attitude. If you are asked what you need, just say tax cuts. "

"Okay, I'll do it later."

"Uncle Fu, is there a teacher in Liyue who is proficient in greatswords? I want the best one!"

"Most people in Liyue are proficient in spears, and there are not many who can use greatswords. It would be best to go to Mondstadt and hire someone to learn how to use the greatsword."

"Then Uncle Fu, go ahead and recruit a great swordsman from Mondstadt. Then we can implement the mineral acquisition plan."

Looking at Uncle Fu's departing figure, Lin Zixuan couldn't help but shook his head. It seemed that the training of the greatsword had to be put on hold. Even if he was recruited to come to Liyue, it would take almost a month, and that was still a hurried process.

Walking at normal speed would take nearly two months, which is too long. Taking a boat would be faster, but it would still take more than twenty days. If I had the Eye of God, I could teleport.

The entire Liyue has a population of tens of millions, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to travel. There are too many mountain roads in Liyue and too few horses.

More importantly, horseshoes are not even popularized yet. Or, the merchants who sell horses have no intention of popularizing them. If Liyue does not have useless horses, how can the horses raised by the merchants be sold at a good price?

The future wind slime cargo transport device has not appeared at this point in time. Its advantage is low cost, but its biggest drawback is that it is slow. It will be adopted by some businesses in the future to transport products that are not so easy to expire.

The roads outside Liyue Harbor were last repaired 20 years ago, according to Uncle Fu. Except for the main roads that were occasionally filled, the rest of the roads were in tatters and overgrown with weeds. When it rained, the roads became muddy and difficult to walk on.

Mingyun Town is an example. After the Yebo Stone mine in Mingyun Town was dug out, it was abandoned. The wooden bridge connecting the town was broken and no one repaired it.

Wait, that is to say, the place of Mingyun Town is a natural location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is connected by only one bridge, and only the Yebo Stone has been mined out. There should still be a large amount of iron ore and other minerals.

Backed by snow-capped mountains and surrounded by rivers, most of the mountains are steep. The quality of the sand at Yaoguang Beach below Mingyun Town is also first-class.

When the time comes, I will use Wood Release Technique to surround it and develop some tree monitoring techniques. Wouldn't it be a perfect base?

Hiss...It seems we have to take over that piece of land.

And because he mastered the Wood Release Technique, he needed trees like rubber for later development. As long as he found a rubber tree, he could use the Wood Release Technique to turn it into a whole rubber forest. This is probably something that can only be done in a world where great power belongs to itself, right?

Uncle Fu said that most of the land outside Liyue, except for some villages, can be bought and sold. After signing the contract, the land will belong to the individual permanently, provided that taxes are paid to the General Affairs Department every year.

Once the property is acquired, if the place has no income and only goes out with no income, the huge amount of taxes every year alone would be enough to make a great nobleman feel painful.

Especially for minerals such as iron ore which can be found everywhere, there is not much profit in developing them, and basically the result is a huge loss. Over time, the price of land with these basic minerals is very low.

Come to think of it, recruiting a large number of people to hammer and dig with pickaxes is inefficient. It will also require a large number of guards and manpower to transport the treasure back to Liyue. If there are fewer people, the treasure-stealing group will rob it in a matter of minutes.

More importantly, there is no war, which means there are no slaves. All personnel need to be paid, and the wages for leaving their homes cannot be too low. Adding up all kinds of expenses can easily drag down a business.

I summoned a cane and directed it to roll up the teacup and bring it to my mouth. Looking at the 2G signal with a large delay, I still need to practice more!

He took out the stack of Northland Bank passbooks from the underground warehouse and walked out of the villa. Uncle Fu was not here, so he had to do it himself. There were really too few people available.

I waited at the door for 10 minutes and sighed. It was the same again. I could only take bus No. 11 to the Red Mansion at Feiyunpo. I screamed in my heart: I need the communication fairy talisman to call a taxi!

Soon we arrived at the lobby of the General Affairs Department and found the land trading counter.

"Excuse me, does the land in Mingyun Town have an owner at present?"

"No, Mingyun Town returned to the General Affairs Department ten years ago because they couldn't pay the rent, and it has been idle for many years."

At this time, an uncle who was doing business nearby turned around and said, "My friend, you must not buy Mingyun Town! That place is too bad!

Ever since the Yebo Stone mine in Mingyun Town was mined out, that place has been taken over a dozen times in the past hundred years, but each time it was abandoned within three years.

Countless businesses wanted to see if they could find valuable new mineral veins, but all came back empty-handed. My ancestors also bought some to try, but ended up losing a lot of money, and finally had to sell off a lot of their properties to recover. "

"Will it not be dug up and only the soil will be left?"

“No, my ancestors have explored it, and there are many other minerals, but they are all worthless.

The northern part near the salt of the earth is mainly limestone, while near the snow-capped mountains, pyrite, sulfur, phosphorus, potassium, saltpeter and other mines are distributed.

The central part is mainly iron ore. There are also minerals such as copper in the east near the river. In the south, there is also clay near Yaoguang Beach, which is of good quality. There is also a viscous black liquid, but it is useless. "

Lin Zixuan's heart was boiling with excitement. This must be a treasure pot. Does it contain all kinds of resources?

"Isn't this great? The mineral resources are so rich."

“First, it takes 15 days to travel from Mingyun Town to Liyue Harbor, and a carriage carrying goods would take at least 20 days.

The carriages simply couldn't carry too much stuff, the journey was long and the mountain roads were rugged. Just the treasure-stealing group had to be well managed. The cost of transporting the treasures back was often more than the money from selling them.

The minerals mentioned above are everywhere near Lisha Suburb next to Liyue Harbor. There is no shortage of them. They are closer to Liyue Harbor and more convenient to transport.

And now that you've bought it, there are still a lot of treasure-stealing groups and hill-climbing settlements there. You'll have to send people to clean them up, which is another expense. It's impossible to make money from that place."

The uncle left after finishing his work. Lin Zixuan nodded, thanking the uncle for his reminder.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, it is a deal that will lead to bankruptcy. But for a person with great power and knowledge of another world, it is a huge pie.

Located between Liyue Harbor and Mondstadt, it is rich in various minerals. There is a lake above, Yaoguang Beach below where a shipyard can be built, Wangshu Inn on the left, and snow mountain defense on the right.

I asked the lady at the counter, "How much does it cost to buy the land in Mingyun Town now?"

"Mingyun Town covers an area of ​​3000 square kilometers. The annual tax is 9000 million Mora. If you can't pay the tax, the land will be reclaimed by the General Affairs Department."

From the perspective of modern people on Blue Star, this price is really extremely cheap.

However, the biggest problems faced in this ancient alien world are the difficulty of development and the saturation of the market, that is, the relationship between supply and demand.

If the people of Liyue cannot use these materials in large quantities, even if 10 tons of steel are produced per day, they will not be able to be sold.

Lin Zixuan calculated in his mind that the land rent was secondary, and the labor cost was the largest. Moreover, he had to pay taxes when trading in Liyue Harbor, which meant that he had to earn at least 3 million Mora a year to cover his expenses. It was indeed a piece of land that would bring down an ordinary business.

"Then sign the contract and pay one year's rent first."

Lin Zixuan took out several anonymous passbooks from the Northern Bank and signed his name and fingerprint on the contract.

Chapter 14 The Wind is About to Blow

At this moment, in the Qun Yu Pavilion, Tian Quan Xing Ning Guang sat by the window, listening to the government reports from the secretaries. While appreciating the scenery of Liyue, she leaned against the railing and thought quietly.

"Bai Wen, Bai Zhi, Bai Xiao, have you sorted out the things I asked you to investigate last night?"

"Replying to Lord Ningguang, it has been sorted out."

Baiwen: "Yesterday, only one person registered for the Eye of God at the General Affairs Department. His name is: Lin Zixuan. He is 10 years old and currently lives in the villa area behind Chunxiang Kiln.

His parents are the owners of Xuanyuan Trading Company that caused a stir last week. The Qianyan Army reported that the Zhidong Country was involved.

Xuanyuan Trading Company's main business is grain. It has a rock-attributed God's Eye guard named Fudegui, and everyone calls him "Uncle Fu".

His ancestors should have some relationship with immortals. Currently, Yan Fei from the law firm is in charge of the transaction contracts of their shop, and he charges a reasonable price.

Yesterday morning, he was fined by the Qianyan Army for violating the rules by using elemental power in the city. The Qianyan Army report stated that he had built a large tree at home, which he guessed was the elemental power of mutated grass.

At noon, the General Affairs Department registered for the Eye of God. The score for filling out the form was 101 points, and the total score was qualified, so he passed. He got 100 points for almost all the single-choice, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and analysis questions. He only got 1 point for the essay. This is his test paper. "

Ningguang took the test paper curiously and looked at the almost blank essay section.

Title: Describe your views on Liyue.

Text: It’s really too backward.

She only answered with six words. No wonder the General Affairs Department gave her only 1 point. She crushed the test paper in an instant and threw a lot of debris out of the window.

A nameless fire rose in my heart. I worked so hard to handle all matters for Liyue, and managed Liyue so well. But in his eyes, there was only this one sentence.

The trio looked at each other. It was the first time they had seen Lady Ningguang so angry. Baiwen nudged Baishi with his hand.

Bai Shi stepped forward quickly and said, "Under the influence of the power of the Rock King, Liyue has a lot of minerals. All the known mineral information is on this map. Basically, the largest and most concentrated minerals are found in Layered Rock Abyss, Lisha Suburbs, and Mingyun Town.

The others are all single-type veins. Currently, the veins near Liyue are basically owned by someone. The veins north of Luhuachi, except for a small amount of amber, night stone, and crystal ore, are basically ownerless.

An hour ago, the land in Mingyun Town was bought by someone, and the buyer was Lin Zixuan, the young master of Xuanyuan Trading Company."

Ningguang's face darkened. This was not good news. He was moving too fast. According to what he said, that piece of land was a treasure, but it had been changing hands for nearly a hundred years and had been losing money. Could he really make it work? Unless he really had the technology to produce 10 tons of steel a day.

Mingyun Town will not be disturbed by any forces due to its geographical location.

There is only one bridge on land, and the cliffs are steep when you go by water. The sentry post is built on the top of the mountain and you can see people at a glance. The snow-capped mountains behind are even steeper, with heavy snow all year round. If you are not familiar with it, you will get lost.

If one wants to explore the new steelmaking method, the only way is to open the Qun Yu Pavilion and conduct research from high altitude, but this is impossible.

The trio saw that Ningguang's face didn't look very good and guessed that something must have happened. Baiwen and Baishi both signaled Baixiao with their eyes.

Bai Xiao had no choice but to step forward and say, "Lady Ningguang, Liyue's total iron ingot production in the past three years is: 12000 tons, 11500 tons, and 11800 tons."

"Pah..." Ningguang sat up suddenly and her long cigarette fell to the ground.

“Lady Ningguang!” It was the first time for the trio to see Ningguang like this.

Ningguang was not calm. The whole of Liyue only produced a little over 1 iron ingots a year. That person actually said that he produced 10 a day. If he was just bragging, even if it was 0 a day, it would be 1 million tons a year, which would be enough to destroy all the blacksmith shops in Liyue.

Ningguang's calmness and maturity are the result of ten years of polishing. But Ningguang ten years ago was still a little immature. When she encountered something beyond her imagination, she was still like an ordinary person and was not calm.

"Don't we have a lot of iron ore in Liyue? What about the Black Rock Mine? Why is the output so low?"

"Master Ningguang, the Black Rock Factory is one of the Eight Gates. They have been selling iron ore to Fontaine and Winterland for years, making a lot of money. I heard that a ton of iron ore only costs 2000 Mora, and there are discounts if you buy more.

The cost of smelting iron ingots is very high, and iron ingots are not very profitable, so they almost subcontracted it to the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop has a lot of iron forging every day! I can't even lift the hammer when I go up there!"

A new method of steelmaking? Ningguang sat back down by the window, overlooking Liyue Harbor. Her thoughts drifted far away, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Lin Zixuan looked at the deed in his hand again and again, and the corners of his mouth gradually tilted upwards. He couldn't help but think that the basic conditions were already in place. The only thing left was how to operate it. After all, he was not a fish that slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education, and with the activation of the immortal body, his memory was much better.

The biggest problem is that I am not cut out to be a businessman. If I want to control the general direction, with all the historical experience on Blue Planet, there won't be any problem.

I have to deal with all kinds of businessmen and entertain them every day, and I have to be careful not to be tricked by old foxes. So can I still practice well?

I still need a business talent to help me run my business! I can't always ask Uncle Fu for help, right?

The product must be produced first, so that it is easier to negotiate successfully. The pie-in-the-sky approach on Blue Star is not very applicable at this stage.

Teyvat has a clean energy source like slime. If we completely copy the technology of Blue Star, it would be too boring. The Thunder Slime Power Station is clean, efficient, and can produce a stable current using conversion equipment. It is better than boiling water on Blue Star and then converting it into electricity, right?

And the most important thing is strength. Only with strength can you protect this business. Without strength, it will basically be snatched away directly.

When the time comes, we will have to use Wood Release Technique to open mountains and reclaim land for infrastructure construction, and see if we can persuade old man Zhongli to use rock elements to move the mountain and pave a smooth concrete road.

You also need to obtain a spell: "Slime Control". The immortals should have a way. Find some time to go to the Hall of Rebirth to ask Zhongli. He should know the relevant information.

When I returned to the villa, I saw the workers still sawing wood. According to the progress of the project, it would take at least half a month to complete. I could only continue to stay at the inn. I told the five guards that if Uncle Fu came back, he should come to the villa at noon tomorrow.

Walking on the streets of Liyue Harbor, I began to have random thoughts.

Why are there so many treasure-stealing groups outside Liyue?

The explanation given by Uncle Fu is: The underground veins of the continent of Teyvat are very active, and the seven statues of gods are basically built on the main veins, which are very stable.

On the contrary, some branches often have a hedging phenomenon. Once this phenomenon occurs, the items nurtured in the ground veins will appear outside in the form of treasure chests. This phenomenon happens all the time, so treasure chests can often be seen in the wild.

The secret realm is formed by a more violent collision. A portal rises from the ground, and the secret realm usually lasts from ten days to several years. There was once an adventurer who entered the secret realm of Mondstadt and found himself in Inazuma when he came out. After returning to Mondstadt, he found that the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared.

If these treasure chests are not opened, they can be kept for decades. Once opened, the outer shell of the treasure chest will instantly vaporize and disappear within a few minutes. Therefore, the people of Teyvat regard these treasure chests as gifts from God.

Occasionally, the treasure chest would produce some top-quality materials, such as the materials needed for gold-grade weapons. Even Uncle Fu had opened the treasure chest several times and had seen it automatically generated. Unfortunately, when he opened it, he only found some worthless cabbages and common minerals.

The possibility of getting rich overnight has led to the rampant treasure-stealing groups. After all, everyone has the dream of getting rich. Recently, a group of treasure-stealing groups opened a golden one-handed sword embryo. This kind of embryo has been nurtured by the earth veins for countless years and is an important raw material for gold-grade weapons.

That night, only one person was left in the treasure-stealing group, and the original embryo was finally taken away by a big family for 10 billion Mora, which was almost equivalent to 1000 million Mora on Blue Star, and it was indeed considered a sudden wealth.

There are many treasure chest gambling games on the black market in Liyue, which is more dependent on luck than gambling on stones. At least gambling on stones can be judged based on experience and texture analysis. Betting on treasure chests is a real test of luck.

It is impossible to ban it, and it is impossible to stop people from pursuing treasures, and most of the treasure-hunting groups are relatively rational. Therefore, all countries turn a blind eye to the treasure-hunting groups, and will not care as long as they do not cause trouble within the main city.

I don't know how many treasure-stealing groups there are in Mingyun Town, which I own. If I don't have the strength to drive them away, won't I have to be on guard against them causing damage all day long? If a perfect treasure chest is found in my ironworks, won't it be smashed to pieces by them?
