"Wouldn't it be better to let her become a mercenary like you?"

"No, I don't want her to suffer the same way I did in Chisha. I want her to stay away from the troubled place of Chisha."

"This manuscript can be said to be the legacy your wife left to our daughter, and it is also Xumi's wealth. If you give it to some scribes, you might get a lot of money. Such an act is equivalent to betraying your wife and Xumi. Have you really made up your mind?"

"I bear all the blame personally. I no longer pray for the legendary "Golden Dreamland", I just hope that Jade can live a peaceful life."

"I have to say, you are really lucky!"

Lin Zixuan's false face gradually faded, revealing his real face, which surprised Gabriel.

"You probably don't have a lot of these manuscripts with you, right? After you go back, I will arrange for someone to take over the work with you, and the relevant paperwork and certificates will be issued at that time.

As for the arrangement for Jade, it may not be a good idea for you to be separated from her. Let her work at the Xuanyuan Trading Company branch in Xumi City or at the Xuanyuan Trading Company branch in Aru Village. You can choose for yourself!"

"Thank you, Master Xuan!" Gabriel was about to kneel down, but found that he couldn't do it.

"Don't get me wrong, I just recognize your fatherly love. But... you are actually the type of person I hate the most. Such an important research manuscript was sent abroad...

Nothing more... just a mercenary."

Lin Zixuan walked back to his own villa, leaving Gabriel confused.

In Xumi's philosophy, knowledge can be bought and sold. This manuscript of research materials on the "Red King Relics" can be said to be the most precious thing at the national treasure level.

Such important research data was not handed over to Xumi officials, but fell into the hands of Liyue. It seems that I have to take some time to go to the desert to retrieve some data. Although many things cannot be used directly, they can still be used as reference.

When I got home, I found the light in the study was still on. I pushed open the door and saw Ningguang typing away on the calculator with a worried look on her face.

"Why are you still awake so late?"

"Come over and help me see what's wrong?"

"I don't know much about business matters, but tell me! I'll see what you missed."

"In recent years, the revenue of our tourism industry has been declining. I have checked and found that there are not many cases of tax evasion. There are also not many cases of tourists being overcharged. Those tourists have received due compensation.

Now, except for the income from gambling on stones and catering, which can still be maintained, the income from other businesses has almost all started to fall off a cliff.”

"You've even gotten involved in gambling on stones and catering? How many businesses have you opened behind my back?"

"The profits from all the businesses I run are not as high as the profits from your Xuanyuan Business. Isn't that infuriating? The profits from the phone calls alone are too scary. I also heard that a wealthy businessman at Wangshu Inn made calls for three full days. Except when he was sleeping, he never hung up the phone."

"Are there people who chat on the phone for a long time appearing so soon? I thought they wouldn't appear so soon."

“Have you figured out the problems in the tourism industry?”

"I think it's probably due to two reasons! Our passengers are basically from all over the country and Mond.

Moreover, due to the events of last year, Mondstadt was busy with construction, and many people cancelled their trips. Once the construction of Mondstadt is completed, tourists will come to Liyue in large numbers.

At the same time, if the route from Inazuma to Liyue can be opened this year, we can have a large number of Inazuma tourists come to Liyue to consume.

We also need to slightly adjust the prices of certain items such as accommodation, after all, their consumption level is completely different from ours.

Once I heard that it was 10 Mora a night, I was afraid I would run away overnight. Of course, these are all up to you to decide.

The second aspect is probably aesthetic fatigue.”

"Aesthetic fatigue?"

"Our Luhua Pond is beautiful, but other countries also have similar beautiful scenery. Mondstadt has the Dandelion Sea, Inazuma has Umijima Island, and other places also have beautiful scenery.

But if you see this kind of scenery too much, you will get aesthetic fatigue. Then people will find that not only is it tiring to walk, but it is also meaningless except for taking pictures. The first time you see it, it’s amazing; the second time, oh; the third time, it’s just like that.”

"So that's how it is. In other words, once you've been there, you won't go there again. No wonder the profits are getting lower and lower."

“So, it’s time for something new to appear in Liyue!”

"You come again!!!" Ningguang was horrified.

“Hehe! It’s time to create a tourist attraction that people will want to visit again after visiting it once. Ningguang, please help contact those more famous circuses and see who is willing to stay in Liyue.

It will become Liyue’s most profitable tourist attraction – an amusement park.”

He picked up Ningguang again, carried her back to the house and closed the door, all in one go.

Chapter 238 Arrogance

The next day.

Ningguang stayed in bed, while Lin Zixuan was writing something in the study. Senior Sister Shen He watched him writing cursive script.

"Senior Sister Shen He, accompany me to do an experiment later."

"experiment?"

"Well, after all these years of development in Liyue, some people are starting to get restless again."

“Is it the corruption issue again?”

"More than that, it should be said that they are arrogant and overconfident. The other six countries have a lot of unique knowledge and relics, many of which are needed by Liyue. Someone brought national treasure-level information to Liyue, but was rejected by Liyue. This problem can be big or small."

"So you're going to try them out yourself?"

"Well, let's use this manuscript of "Research on the Secret Realm of Inazuma --- Research Report on the Lightning Element Portal" to test them."

“But what you wrote seems to be…”

"You can't understand it, right? That's right. Of course it couldn't be written in Liyue language. It was written in a mixture of Common Language, Inazuma Language, and Baiye National Language."

"Why not write in Liyue language? Wait, so that's how it is." Shen He thought of something.

“Many foreign scholars use common languages, their own languages, or even some minority or lost languages ​​to record their work. Many also use coded text to prevent their research from being stolen.

If our Liyue reviewers do not understand the value of these things at all and say that these materials are nonsense, wouldn’t it be a huge loss for Liyue?"

"So when do we leave? Do I need to make any preparations in advance?"

"Let's go later. I have to finish writing this manuscript first. As for preparations, we'll just have to act according to circumstances. Please help notify Uncle Tian and Keqing and the others to get together in the evening."

"it is good."

In the afternoon, a young couple from Inazuma clothing came to the Immigration Office of the General Affairs Department (small print: Special Situation Negotiation Office). There were not many people waiting, only a dozen or so.

At this time, the door opened and a middle-aged man left dejectedly holding a box.

"Alas, another failure." The young man wearing Sumeru clothing looked at the man.

"Brother, is it so difficult to enter the Liyue Clan?"

"Oh, you guys are from Inazuma!"

"Yes, yes! We ran away just after Inazuma lifted the lockdown. It's been really chaotic there these years!"

"It used to be very easy to become a Liyue citizen. But about ten years ago, everything changed. At first, only those with skills could become citizens. Then, only those with special skills could become citizens. Now, if you don't have a famous name, you basically can't become a Liyue citizen."

"I heard from the taxi driver that there is a special approval channel. As long as you provide something valuable, you can become a citizen of Liyue."

"Everyone here has something 'valuable'. Many of them are of unknown origin and are 'rare'. It all depends on whether the person in the room signs for it or not."

"So that's how it is. All we need to do is provide rare and valuable things?"

"That's about it. If you want to be safe, you need something else. This is the information I got from asking countless people who have passed the test." The young man in Xumi clothing stretched out his right hand and rubbed his thumb, index finger and middle finger together.

Lin Zixuan understood immediately, took out a small purse from his arms, and handed it to him silently. The young man quickly put it in his arms.

"It's Mora actually! The items provided are acceptable, and you can smuggle some Mora or bearer passbooks in them."

"Isn't this a bribe?"

“It’s not easy to get Liyue membership without bribery! Just like the “Experimental and Research Report on the Effects of Different Sounds on the Body” I submitted before.

The reviewer said that this research report was useless and a waste of paper. It was clearly the product of my great uncle's painstaking research over ten years.

I learned my lesson this time, and asked someone to prepare a report on the eight experiments on magic crystal ore. With some money, it was basically done."

"Uh... Is this all right?"

"Liyue attaches great importance to the research of minerals. Only by catering to their interests can we achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Isn't this a bit too painful?"

"As long as it's useful, the information you bought can help pass the political review later. It's my turn. I'll go first." When the young man heard his number being called, he quickly walked into the negotiation room.

After a while, the young man ran away happily with a piece of paper.

"Sister Shen He, what do you think?"

"I don't really understand this. But it's enough to know that they are taking bribes."

"A report that has never been made public and took more than a decade to research, from drafting, research, to the final formula conclusion.

If we do not understand their value and reject them, then our research will also cost us a lot of time and money.

They thought that these materials were useless, which was equivalent to handing over a secret treasure to others. Pride and arrogance were taboos. Over the years, they had rejected countless national treasures and items.

The six academies of Xumi gathered their strength to secretly build the "God of Righteousness". We gathered the strength of Liyue to secretly build a scrap iron shell that can't even walk...

I can't see such a huge gap, and I became arrogant anyway. It's my fault. I forcibly raised Liyue's status, but I didn't know that Liyue is still strong on the outside but weak on the inside in many aspects. "

"'God of Righteousness'?" A question mark appeared above Shen He's head.

"Oh, sorry, that's the big plan that the Fatui executive is planning on Xumi. That guy's strength can be considered to have reached the level of a high-level immortal. I'll take you to see it when the time comes."

"Then it's settled!"

As time went by, it was finally the turn of the young couple wearing Inazuma Clothing.

The door opened and a pot-bellied uncle was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette.

When he saw Shen He, his eyes flashed with a terrifying light, as if a X-ray scanner scanned her from head to toe.

"Ahem, may I ask, can I use this research material after becoming a naturalized citizen of Liyue? This is the manuscript left by my deceased mentor." Seeing this, Lin Zixuan coughed lightly and placed the material on the table.

"Please take a seat, both of you." The uncle's eyes did not leave Shen He. "Judging from your clothes, you two should be from Inazuma, right?"

"Yes, the war in Inazuma was too crazy. I longed for the peaceful life in Liyue. I asked many people and learned that it is not easy to join Liyue, but my husband and I still want to give it a try."

"Are you married? I wonder what kind of work you plan to do in the future? It's hard to find a good job these days!"

"We still have some savings, so we'll probably find a place to stay first. I'm originally a teacher, so I plan to try out Liyue School."

"Oh!"

The uncle withdrew his gaze, looked through the information, thought about it, and made a decision.

"I'm so sorry, we have a lot of this research report in Liyue, so we don't need it at all."

"How come? Do you really know what it says?"

"Humph! How could I, as an auditor, not know this? Isn't it just Inazuma's sword-forging skills? I've received hundreds of them over the years."

"But this research report is not about sword forging technology, right? It's about the research on portals!"

"A portal? What is that? It's just some useless thing. How can it compare to our Liyue planes? And there are all these weird graffiti on it. Who can understand it?"

Lin Zixuan took out a bag of Mora and gently placed it on the table.

"Is this enough?"

The uncle picked up the purse and weighed it, then looked at Shen He and swallowed.

"How about this! You go back and wait for news, I'll report to my superiors. Also, where are you living now?"

"Room 404 of the Rujia Inn in the Red Tower at Feiyunpo."

"Yes, I took note of it."

The young couple from Inazuma Clothing left the General Affairs Department. Lin Zixuan held his chin with a sly smile on his face. Shen He was already loosening the bones in his palm.

"When can we start? I've been holding back for so long!"

"No rush, there should be a good show tonight. Let's use illusion! It won't be good if he takes advantage of us."

"Well, let's spare his life for now and go shopping." Shen He said and came up again.

"Okay, as you wish."

At night, in the private room of Wanmin Hall.

Ningguang, Shenhe, Keqing, Tianshu and others gathered here, looking at the sumptuous dinner in front of them, and no one spoke. Because the screen next to them was playing what a young couple from Inazuma Clothing saw and heard.

"How is it? What do you think?"
