Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

I came to the Home Inn in the Red Mansion and booked it for half a month. Standing on the balcony of the inn, watching the people coming and going downstairs, I practiced the Wood Release Technique over and over again. I still understand the principle of biting off more than you can chew. I'd better put the Thunder attribute aside for a while.

Hey, this woman with the Thunder Element God Eye hanging on her waist didn't have her hair color changed by the element, she must be a strong person. And she has a figure that you can't see her toes when she lowers her head, plus she drinks while walking.

This means that this person is very likely to be the Dragon King Beidou from ten years ago. At this time, she didn't wear an eye mask, and her clothes were not the ones from the future. It's a pity that the camera was left at the villa. I'd better bring it with me next time I go out! Otherwise, I will miss a lot of things.

He also started from scratch and built a maritime transport fleet. The huge ship "Death Star" alone is so enviable that no one knows where he got it from.

She often transports some contraband items that are prohibited by Liyue law. The Qianyan Army has caught her several times but has not found any evidence. She always goes against Ningguang every time she returns to Liyue. However, the two of them appreciate each other and often hang out together in Liyue Harbor. This is probably how smart people attract each other!

Lin Zixuan thought about it in his mind. Ningguang is on the right path, while Beidou is on the wrong path. There is a certain probability that Beidou can be brought into his camp. He has business talent that is no less than that of Ningguang, and he also has the best transport fleet in the continent of Teyvat.

Because of the problem with Beidou's own fleet concept, there will be a large group of retired sailors who need financial support in the future, plus the high maintenance costs of the fleet, making it more and more difficult for her to turn back on the road of the underworld. If there is a chance to clean up, maybe she will be a little interested!

The emergence of iron ships in the future, coupled with the application of fire slime power engines, will not be comparable to these sailing ships in terms of carrying capacity or speed. Even if you don't recruit her, she will definitely come to you.

Chapter 15 Difficulties of Starting a Business

At noon, Lin Zixuan returned to the villa and saw Uncle Fu waiting at the door.

"Master, the matter in Mond has been settled. Captain Falga has also heard of the Evil Eye, but has not seen it yet. He is still busy with the aftermath. I only mentioned it briefly and he understood it."

"It's enough that the notice has arrived. What they do is not up to us to decide. Also, what is the status of the empty shell of the Eye of God?"

"We have already cleared out four empty shells. No one dared to clean up the pile of unknown objects. Yesterday, I saw 4 trainee knights cleaning them up. Today, there are only three left."

"That will indeed take some time. Have you found a great sword mentor?"

"Found it. Captain Falgar will arrange for the best greatsword instructor to come to Liyue. He didn't agree to the tax reduction. After all, it's not very important information, but he still accepted our favor."

"That's good. I didn't expect much in return. Uncle Fu, I bought Mingyun Town yesterday. It's a treasure land!"

"Well, the big winner of Mingyun Town that the merchants discussed this morning...could it be you, Young Master? That's a place where no one has been able to make a profit for hundreds of years. Young Master, with the financial resources of the business, it won't be a problem to hold out for three to five years. But if there is no profit within three years, it's better to cut the loss in time."

“Has the outside world spread like this?” Lin Zixuan couldn’t help but shook his head. He was probably waiting to see me make fun of him!

"Any news about other mineral veins?"

"Master, this is the strangest thing. Those rich mines that no one wanted before suddenly have owners. The remaining ones are all poor mines that are located in steep terrain and difficult to transport."

Lin Zixuan held his chin and thought, it seems that there are quite a lot of smart speculators.

I bought such a large mining area in Mingyun Town for the sake of ore raw materials. These speculators followed suit and bought another batch of ore raw materials, so that they could also get a share of the profits after operating them.

After all, the veins that were snapped up were all rich mines. The combined size of several veins might not even be one-fifth the size of Mingyun Town. The cost of buying them would not be too high, and they could accept losses. But they certainly could not have imagined that what they were selling was not iron ore, but finished iron ingots.

He calculated again in his mind. To make people work so far away from their hometown, the cost of an ordinary worker is estimated to be 1 yuan a day, which is 30 yuan a month. Hiring 10 miners would cost 300 million yuan a month, and 3600 million yuan a year.

The money for the blacksmith is not included, and there is also the money for the guards, and there will definitely be a lot of people. Add to that the miscellaneous initial investments, and the money invested will be at least 3 million.

It is questionable whether 10 miners can make a profit of 1000 million from the iron ore dug out by hammers and shovels, even if it is a rich ore.

Lin Zixuan felt a bit overwhelmed, as if he had been a bit reckless. No wonder he was said to be a sucker. Mining alone was a big problem. Is there any way to solve it?

The absence of slaves means that wages must be paid. Are there people who can endure hardships and work without being paid?

A human-shaped toy with a light on suddenly flashed through my mind.

Uncle Fu saw Lin Zixuan slap his thigh with his right hand, as if he had made a decision, so he asked curiously.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Fu, go to the Adventurer's Guild and offer a reward for the exact address of a Ruin Guardian that can still move, or a Ruin Guardian with its core well preserved. If possible, bring back a non-movable one so I can take it apart and have a look."

"There are a lot of those things near the ruins. They're big and heavy, so they're basically useless. If you want something that can't be moved, there's an immovable one outside of Liyue Harbor. It should be transported here this afternoon."

"!!! It's totally useless?"

Lin Zixuan pressed his temples that were about to explode. He was not angry, not angry.

This is the normal thinking of the people in Liyue today. They are obsessed with the glory brought by the Geo King and turn a blind eye to many things, or even despise them.

Kanreya's most advanced technology is able to remain operational and form combat power after hundreds of years, which is something that ordinary technology cannot achieve.

Just remove the autonomous AI and weapon parts of the Ruins Guard, keep only the driving part, replace the hands with the bucket of the excavator, and hollow out the head to replace the seat and control room. Isn't this an alien version of the excavator?

And the most important thing is that the driving core is most likely driven by free elemental force. The energy is almost infinite. Even if there is a limit on the running time, it can be solved by getting more machines to take turns.

If the modification is successful, the working efficiency of such a big machine will probably make all the businesses in Liyue despair, right?

If it is further modified, it will not be difficult to drive a Gundam in the world of Genshin Impact. Although there is a high possibility of justice coming to your door, it is at least a direction of progress.

"Uncle Fu, go ahead and bring the ruins guards over this afternoon, and I'll study them. I'll go to Wanmin Hall to eat something first."

"Yes, Master."

......

I had a good meal at Wanmintang, but unfortunately I didn't see Xiangling. The chef said she went to school. That's right, she is still in the learning stage. I can only taste her cooking later.

Do you want to meet the most powerful fairy in the open, Grandma Ping?

Even though I have the Wood Release Technique, if I am sealed into the small world by Grandma Ping's space seal, I'm afraid I will never be able to get out, right?

But I really want the space ring. Anyway, let's go and take a look.

Walking up to Yujing Terrace, there is a big tree on the left, with lush branches and leaves. Under the tree is a table with a teapot on it. Next to it is an old lady looking at the flowerbed next to it. There are all kinds of flowers planted in the flowerbed.

Lin Zixuan looked at the teapot. Is this the teapot that even Paimon couldn't get into? After thinking for a while, he decided to be more direct. It would be bad to play tricks on an old man.

"Child, is there anything wrong?" The old lady turned around.

"Grandma Ping, I'm Lin Zixuan from Xuanyuan Trading Company. I heard that you can make space props. Can you help me make a space storage prop? I will find the necessary materials myself."

"Huh? Are you the descendant of the Infrastructure Maniac? Have you activated the immortal bloodline?" Grandma Ping looked at Lin Zixuan and said in surprise.

"Grandma Ping, do you know the ancestors too?"

"I do know him. He is also good at growing flowers. He made the entire Liyue Harbor bloom with flowers overnight. It's very impressive."

Lin Zixuan was so upset. This ancestor was too idle, wasn't he? He heard Grandma Ping continue to speak.

"Later, your family had only one son, and the bloodline could not be activated. He once asked me to take a look, but he couldn't find the reason. They were all healthy. Later, he left Liyue, and I don't know where he went."

"Grandma Ping, my ancestors moved to the Muye Village north of Liyue Harbor. Later, they went on their own to find a solution to the problem of single-line inheritance. I haven't heard from them for a long time. I am the 100th generation of single-line inheritance."

"A hundred generations? It feels like a really long time has passed. Since it's a request from the descendants of an old friend, I can still help with this little favor. It's just that the materials are not easy to find, so you have to think of a way yourself."

"What materials are needed?"

"The 'Golden Mud' under the Dihuazhou Riverbank. If you want to collect this mud, you must first find a place where the colored lilies are in full bloom, and then dig down along the roots of the colored lilies. If you are lucky, you can dig up a small box.

The most troublesome thing is the 'Cui Jue Rock' that was carved out from the abyss of rock. The Black Rock Factory dug everywhere there, causing some places where fairy objects would be produced to be destroyed. There are not many left now, and in another ten years, they might not be found anymore.

Cui Jue Rock is an immortal object. It is difficult for ordinary people to carry the immortal's luck, but you have an immortal body, so you don't have to be afraid.

As long as you find these two items, and with some materials, I can make a space storage item for you."

"Okay, thank you Grandma Ping, I'll find it right away." When Lin Zixuan heard that Grandma Ping was willing to make a space prop, his heart was filled with joy, and he hurried back to find Uncle Fu.

Grandma Ping looked at Lin Zixuan's departing figure and said, "Is this a possession? The body and soul fit together perfectly, and they are no longer distinguishable from each other. Whose immortal is this?

Back then, we old guys came to the conclusion that the soul must disappear once and then be restored before the bloodline can be activated. But it is not so easy to restore a disappeared soul. And the restored soul..."

When Lin Zixuan rushed back to the villa, the sun had already set.

All the time was spent on traveling.

As soon as I entered the villa, I saw a ruins guard placed in the corner and hurried over.

It is four meters tall, made of wood, with some parts made of metal. When you knock on it, the sound is a bit like bronze.

I used the Wood Release Technique to feel the wooden part, which was similar to ironwood and had been treated with anti-corrosion. The transmission part was also mostly made of wood, and the joint part had a tough material similar to tendons. I estimated that it could be simulated with rattan.

Using the Wood Release Technique, he forcibly opened the front cover of the Ruins Guardian. Inside was a device similar to a motor. In the middle was the core that absorbed elemental power. Around the core was a circle of inscriptions and connected to a large and two small gears.

Probably, after the core absorbs elemental power, it releases energy, allowing the inscriptions on the outside of the core to start rotating around the core, which drives the gears and the ruins guards start working. It's really a genius idea.

The inlaid inscription stone slab on the side should be the self-regulating AI mechanism. There will be no problem if you unplug it.

But how does this thing start?

Lin Zixuan looked inside the removed lid again. Is this... some kind of energy block?

The inscribed slate controls the energy block, the energy block activates the core filled with elements, the core starts and drives the peripheral gears to operate. So this is the operating mode.

Except for the core production technology and the core peripheral inscription rotation theory which are still unclear, other functions are very easy to understand.

Now that I understand it, it's much easier. All that's left is to design some joysticks to control the movements, and replace some things with what I need.

The original design was to have movable fingers, but they were replaced with buckets. I don't know how much weight the legs can support, so I have to test it. Maybe I have to replace them with iron ones. I also have to test the energy storage time and the energy storage time of the core.

Lin Zixuan exhaled. The Mingyun Town development project was secured!

Uncle Fu just came back from outside.

"Master, I'm back. Adventurers have sorted this out. There are probably 400 of these ruins guards in the entire Liyue."

"400? That's enough." Lin Zixuan nodded.

"Uncle Fu, I have a few things for you to do now! They are all very important.

First, find the two materials, the Shining Gold Mud and the Emerald Jadeite. It is very important. I will write you the specific characteristics later. Especially the Emerald Jadeite. I can only touch it after I find it. It is OK for young people, as they recover quickly. But Uncle Fu, who is old, must not touch it, otherwise his life will be in danger.

Second, adventurers are offering a bounty for ruins guards, and 100 are needed in the early stage. Those with rotten cores are not needed, and people are sent to Mingyun Town.

Uncle Fu, remember to check everything and take out the stone slab in the core. If you take it out, the ruins guard will not move again. The most important thing is these two things, the core and the outer ring of inscriptions, you must ensure that these two are complete.

Third, teleport to Mingyun Town and build a monument with rock elements beside the bridge in Mingyun Town to indicate the ownership of the territory. Also notify the treasure-stealing group inside to leave within six months. If you are caught after six months, you will be forced to mine for a year, and you will not make any money.

Close all the teleportation anchors in Mingyun Town, and only keep the one near the bridge. As for the Seven Days Statue, I will surround it with wooden boards and put up some persuasion signs.

Fourth, recruit lifelong blacksmiths and give them the highest benefits. Blacksmiths who want to come but don't want to be tied down for too long will be given ordinary benefits. Then guards and ordinary miners will all have to sign contracts.

I will find a way to get a statue of the Emperor with divine power. When signing the contract, the contents of the contract must be read out loud to the statue of the Emperor.

Signing a contract: Swearing by the Rock King, not to copy or reveal anything about Mingyun Town within 30 years, violators will be punished by eating rocks. This kind of contract with divine power can still be more or less effective. "

The first step was to let the people of Liyue feel the ever-changing times.

Chapter 16 First Outing

More than half a year later.

On the lawn of the villa, two figures were wielding swords and engaging in a fight. The two sides crossed each other and one of them knelt down.

"Very good, very good. Master Xuan, congratulations on your success." A sturdy old man in his sixties wearing the armor of the Knight of Favonius stood up and said to Lin Zixuan.

"Thank you for your teaching over the past six months, Teacher Nova." After six months of hard training, Lin Zixuan finally completed his enlightenment education in the greatsword.

"You are very strong and have a strong recovery ability. You should make good use of this advantage. There are many advanced routes for great swords. You must consider them carefully. In terms of strength alone, perhaps only my little granddaughter Noelle can compare to you."

"Well, I will plan it well."

Lin Zixuan didn't expect that the Knight of Favonius who arrived half a year ago was actually Noel's grandfather.

Captain Falga really gave him enough face. Although he was just a retired knight without the Eye of God, he was also the top knight of the 'Inheritance' class, and his foundation was extremely solid.

Lin Zixuan was beaten by him for more than four months before he slowly began to fight him back and forth. Facing this kind of experienced knight, he finally saw what it meant to be a mysterious swordsmanship. He would always give himself a bloody lesson in unexpected places or methods. Or he would use some despicable methods to experience the battle of a small person.

Once they start fighting, they will never let up. If it weren't for today's narrow victory, I'm afraid this miserable life of getting beaten up would have continued.

only...

"If you have time, go to Mondstadt. I'll ask my granddaughter to take you there. The dandelion wine there is very delicious."

"What do you think of my granddaughter? She will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

"She has been doing housework since she was young. She will definitely be a family-oriented person in the future."

......

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but complain in his heart: Your granddaughter Noelle is only 7 years old at this time, is it necessary to be so anxious?

"I plan to go back to Mond tomorrow. I haven't seen my granddaughter for half a year. I have spent most of my life in Mond. Now that I am old, I would have no regrets to go abroad to see the world." Nova said in a nostalgic tone.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but nodded. When he was young, he had no time to go out because he was busy at work. When he got older, with the inconvenience of transportation, he would not go out at all. This was also the norm for ordinary people on the continent of Teyvat.

"Then I'll take you to the Shimen border! I also need to go to my Mingyun Town. I'll go arrange a carriage first."

"That's good, I have a companion on the road."

It has been more than half a year since I came into this world.

It was summer in August when we came here, and now we are experiencing the Lantern Festival, which is already in April.
