Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"Why don't you just dismantle Sanbing's God of Righteousness? Why are there so many problems?" Paimon muttered.

"Identity is both convenient and inconvenient. If I kill the scattered soldiers casually, then those who believe in the scattered soldiers left in Xumi will transfer their hatred to Liyue.

I don’t want a bunch of people seeking revenge for the God of Righteousness to pop up and wreak havoc in Liyue every one or two years.

The situation in Xumi is different from that in Haiji Island. Haiji Island is similar to a kingdom rebelling against its sovereign. However, both forces in Xumi represent the "orthodoxy" of Xumi, and intervening is equivalent to intervening in Xumi's internal affairs.

It is naturally pleasant to intervene casually when the country is strong, but... after reaching its peak, the country will decline, and eventually it will become weak, and the backlash will eventually come.

You can refer to the Kingdom of Winter, which used to be arrogant in Liyue and interfered with Liyue's politics and economy at will. Now they are in Liyue and can only behave themselves.

If it was Nashida who defeated the scattered soldiers, then the situation would be completely different. These people would go looking for trouble with Nashida first, and it would have nothing to do with Liyue." Lin Zixuan said.

"I don't quite understand. Now that you're giving this 'toy' to Ying, aren't you also intervening to help Nashida?" Paimon scratched his head.

"No? When did I tell Ying?"

"???"

"Master Xuan is away on a business trip in Liyue. A little kid led Ying to break through the defenses of Mingyun Town and stole Liyue's latest 'toy'. He is once again wanted by Liyue." Lin Zixuan said.

"(⊙o⊙)... Or... can we try another method? Ying has been wanted several times."

"Let's put it another way. Ying found the latest version of the tiller in the Kanreya ruins? After five hundred years, there is no rust at all. It looks like a brand new one. It also has the Liyue logo printed on it."

"Uh... a newly unearthed antique. This excuse is too fake." Paimon looked at the metallic toy in front of him and complained.

"So, Ying, who showed such strong strength in the SS secret realm, can easily break through the defense of Mingyun Town without me, so that we can drive it away."

"It seems there is no good solution. I'll bring Ying here when she comes out." Paimon thought for a while but couldn't think of a better excuse.

"By the way...did the Church of England miss someone in the wanted list? Only Ying was wanted, but some little guy around Ying was not wanted." Lin Zixuan blinked at Paimeng.

"You big bad guy, if you dare to issue a wanted order for me, I will never let you go!" Paimeng was stunned and stomped his feet in the air in anger.

Then Paimeng began a week of miserable memorization, which naturally included some adaptive training as a 'toy'.

Xumi Vimalakirti temporary command post.

"Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, the sandworm cannon sentries have been deployed to the north of Vimo Manor." Tinari said.

"Very good. How is the progress of the 'Exploration Type Sumeru Rose'?"

"They have been planted overnight. These exploratory Xumi roses have been placed on both sides of the road leading to Huachengguo and Xumi City. Once a large number of personnel and materials are mobilized, it will be displayed on this device."

Tinari took a special device the size of a wash basin and showed Nashida the hundreds of dark spots displayed on it. Once the dark spots light up, it means that a large number of people and materials have passed through.

"Select 15 warriors with divine eyes and form a raiding force. Once supplies pass by, find an opportunity to seize them."

"I'll arrange it right away. Lord Little Jixiang Grass King, I have another question I don't quite understand. Why don't you use Dolly's businesses to support us with various supplies and goods? Instead, go and plunder the supplies from the Ministry of Education?"

"Because they have big plans, if I follow their steps completely, I will definitely fall into their trap. To put it bluntly, I will regard myself as a hero and gradually disregard the law. In the future, I will pretend to obey my words and the orders I issue.

I must make them realize clearly that even without them, I can still pull out a team to take back everything I have. So their supplies are not unused, but it's not the right time. It would be better to suppress their arrogance first."

"I understand!" Tinari wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was also a reminder to him. Was it the art of imperial power? What did the little King of Grass learn from Liyue?

"Is there anything else?" Nashida asked when she saw that Tinari had not left yet.

"I noticed that Charlotte wanted to escape. After she saw that the Church of God also had a guard agency, she became even more restless and wanted to return to Fontaine immediately. I think it would be better to let her go back and cut off the supply of the guard agency at the Church of God." Tinari said.

"The real reason I didn't let her go back was that if she went back and exposed the affairs of the security agencies, she would most likely be assassinated.

After everything is over, I will put pressure on Fontaine to find out the source of these security agencies. Then her situation will be much better when she returns. After the matter is exposed, she will not be specifically targeted and will be under less pressure. "

"We really can't go back now. That Chamber of Commerce is too powerful. They can get things like security agencies. It would be easy for them to assassinate a small reporter." Tinari also understood Nashida's concerns.

"It's better to let Charlotte stay. Explain the interests involved to her. She will make the right choice."

"There's a message from Omos Port that the editor-in-chief of Fontaine Steambird Newspaper, Oufu, has sent thirty boxes of Fontaine. Charlotte was supposed to sign for them, but she followed us to Weimo Manor, and President Dolly of the Chamber of Commerce signed for her.

The deliveryman said that it was for the soldiers to try, and that they should remember to leave one box for Charlotte. However, the soldiers who had tasted it all said that Fengda was not worthy of its reputation and was too salty.

"Salty? Although I have never tasted Fontaine, I heard that it is famous for its refreshing taste. Do people in Fontaine like salty taste? Let Charlotte try it herself...

Hmm... I have a bad feeling. Before Charlotte drinks, ask her to call the editor-in-chief, Ou Fu, and ask. "Nashida thought for a moment.

"You mean it's possible that it was poisoned? That shouldn't be the case, right? Our soldiers drank it and nothing happened! The boxes were placed randomly, and Fengda just took it randomly. Can they really kill only Charlotte and not the others?"

"It's always good to be careful."

"Then I'll go find Charlotte now." Tinari left quickly.

Five days later.

The guards of the Imperial Order of Huachengguo looked at the five huge wooden figures in the distance and couldn't help sweating. The order issued by the Imperial Order was to defend Huachengguo to the death and never let the evil god occupy it.

The two sides were deadlocked for two days, and a large number of the Jiaolingyuan's combat forces were transferred to Huacheng. Then a shocking news came out: Zenna Garden was breached. The two roads leading to the southwest of Jiaolingyuan were blocked.

Countless people looked at this chess game and couldn't help but praise the courage of Little Auspicious Grass King. This tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was too confusing. It also meant that Little Auspicious Grass King's territory was expanding again.

Port of Ormos.

The interior of a chamber of commerce.

"President Dolly, what should we do? If this continues, Lord Little Auspicious Grass King will attack Xumi City." A member of the Chamber of Commerce stood up hurriedly.

"Our gods have reached Xumi City. Isn't that a good thing?" Dolly asked back.

"But Little Auspicious Grass King didn't use our people or our supplies. She recruited all the people, and borrowed the supplies from Mondstadt and Liyue through contracts, and now they are almost all paid back. Apart from a Grass God Temple, she basically didn't use anything we prepared."

"Gods have their own ideas. We just need to do our own duties and don't think too much!" Dolly said in a deep voice.

"It's not that we think too much. Look at El Haisen, he is in charge of all matters in Omos Port, which is equivalent to the city lord. Even the mercenary Dishia has begun to take charge of the army in Omos Port. Not to mention that Tinari is a favorite of the little auspicious grass king.

What about us? None of you here got promoted. Even you, the president, didn’t get any official position. We worked so hard to keep this place for her, but now she has taken it for nothing.”

"Shut up!" Dolly slammed the table and said angrily.

"President Dolly, we can't just let this go! We've done so much and yet we don't get any recognition."

"I told you to shut up, did you hear me?"

The member of the Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to show a submissive expression and suppress his inner anger. He had no choice but to walk out of the Chamber of Commerce and look at the Grass God Palace with a gloomy look.

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

Chapter 374: Another Attack on the SS-Level Secret Realm

A week passed quickly.

Several offensive and defensive battles also took place in the Zen Garden battlefield of Xumi, and the fighting was extremely brutal.

The development of communications also allowed the war in Xumi to be exposed to the world and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

Although communications have developed, freight transportation between countries is still in its infancy.

Most of the roads on land are gravel and dirt roads, with many potholes. Even if you use a crystal car to transport goods, you have to drive slowly and the speed is not fast.

The sea routes are basically monopolized by ocean-going freighters. Although Liyue sells ocean-going freighters to the outside world, the price is not affordable for ordinary businesses.

Only three medium-sized ocean-going cargo ships were delivered last year, and with the training of captains and sailors, it will take at least another year to make a profit.

Not to mention air transportation, Liyue has a complete monopoly on it.

No matter which of the three modes of freight you choose, you have to pay Liyue for the amber solution. Traditional tools such as horses and yak-like camels are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history. Crystal cars are a dimensionality reduction strike in terms of speed, carrying capacity and maintenance.

Especially the merchants in Fontaine, their eyes were almost shaped like lemons with envy. There were also many researchers in the Fontaine Academy who refused to admit defeat. They referred to the car model of Liyue and created a "Manghuang car" driven by the Manghuang annihilation reaction.

The appearance of this Manghuang car means that Fontaine wants to erode the market share of Liyue crystal stone cars, and it also attracts the attention of countless businessmen.

Fontainebleau Science Academy struck while the iron was hot and launched several models of cars, including the Manghuang car, the Manghuang crystal stone double-wheel drive car, and the Manghuang crystal stone steam car.

In the small villa in Liyue Harbor.

Lin Zixuan handed the invitation letter in his hand to Paimeng for review.

"I really won't be in Liyue for the next few days, because I need to go to Fontaine and won't be back for ten days or half a month. So just follow the plan. Otherwise, come with me to Fontaine for a stroll?"

"No, I want to travel with Ying." Paimon crossed his arms and turned his head away. "You're not going to do anything bad again when you go to Fontaine this time, are you?"

"I was just invited to see the new products of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. Besides, when have I ever done anything bad?"

"It's a bit unreal. I don't believe it anyway. Do you think that Fontaine's Manghuang chariot will eat into Liyue's crystal chariot?"

"Paimeng, don't underestimate me! This wilderness annihilation technique has been cultivated by Fontaine for hundreds of years, so it must have its unique features.

If you only focus on your own little piece of land and think that others are rubbish, you will lose the space for improvement. It is only a matter of time before others catch up with you.

Fontaine Academy of Sciences invited so many businesses to visit their new products, probably hoping to get some investment from them to continue the research on the Manghuang Car."

"Eh? Haven't they already made it? There are several models?"

"It's true that it has been produced, but the big problem is that it lacks competitiveness." Lin Zixuan shook his head.

“Not competitive?”

"That's right. People at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences also know the biggest weakness of these Manghuang vehicles. That is... they cannot be mass-produced."

"???" A question mark popped up above Paimon's head. "Hasn't it already been made? Why can't it be mass-produced?"

“I’m not talking about the physical inability to mass produce, but the problem with the large Manghuang relay station.

You can understand that those large Manghuang relay stations have a transmission limit. Once the limit is exceeded, the Manghuang car will be paralyzed on the road and cannot be used. This is also the reason why they made the Manghuang crystal hybrid car.

I estimate that a large Manghuang relay station has about 5000 connections, and nearly 2000 of them are used for the security agencies. The number of Manghuang vehicles that can be supplied should be around 3000.

But these 3000 connections cannot all be given to the Manghuang Cart, there are still many clockwork mechanisms in Fontaine that need to be connected to the Manghuang Relay Station to operate. I estimate that only 1000-1500 connections can be used by the Manghuang Cart.

There are more than a dozen large Manghuang relay stations near Fontaine, which means that the maximum connection limit is only about 2 Manghuang vehicles.

After referring to Liyue's vehicle sales data and growth rate, they concluded that these 2 vehicles were equivalent to using a small wooden bucket to scoop a bucket of water from a pond.

They naturally wouldn't be willing to accept this, so they had the dual-drive method. When there was no Manghuang energy, using the crystal engine could easily solve the energy problem.

These researchers from the Fontaine Science Academy believe that the dual-drive vehicle combining the Manghuang device and the crystal engine will become the mainstream model of Fontaine.

But... they are still too optimistic. When these Manghuang vehicles start to sell, the large amount of money will dazzle their eyes and directly cause them to lose the ability to make rational judgments. "

"Too optimistic? You don't want to bring them down, do you?" Paimeng put his hands on his hips and stared at Lin Zixuan.

"I don't need to do anything. They will be brought to justice by the Fontaine people. I just need to go and get some talents back to Liyue."

"???"

“Because the large Manghuang relay station establishes a connection for the Manghuang car, and there is no charge for its use, it is indeed more cost-effective than the crystal car at first glance. You only need to pay the price of a Manghuang car and you can use it at will.

But for an energy-deficient country like Fontaine, this is accelerating the pace of self-destruction. Since it is cheap and there is no additional cost, then buy it!

The energy of Manghuang can still maintain a balance at present. If people buy a large number of Manghuang vehicles and the large Manghuang relay station is overloaded, what do you think will happen?

First of all, it is very disgusting for people to use. It is always unable to connect, which makes the Manghuang car unable to move.

Then someone would invent a "strong connection device" to forcibly connect the repeater. A large number of Manghuang vehicles used this plug-in to forcibly occupy the connection of the guard agency, which would eventually paralyze the guard agency.

In the end, the energy of Manghuang will be insufficient to meet the demand, just like there is a two-finger-thick pipe at the water inlet above, and 100,000 pumps below directly drain the pond. Eventually, Fontaine will be paralyzed, and even with the help of the "Law Compensation Mixed Energy", it will be a drop in the bucket.

These researchers who created the Manghuang Car will definitely be brought to court for trial. It can be said that they have already stepped half a foot into the gates of hell. "

"Aren't there dual-drive models?"

"Why pay when you can eat for free? The ideas of the talents of Fontaine Academy are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. If you can avoid spending money, you will naturally avoid it. I don't think many dual-drive models will be sold, but the Manghuang model will probably sell like hot cakes."

"Hmph... I always feel like you are pointing fingers at someone else. Send me to Mondstadt first... and don't use birds to transport me anymore!" Paimon put his hands on his hips and looked at Lin Zixuan viciously.

"It's okay for me to hold you." Lin Zixuan picked up Paimon and turned into a stream of light and flew towards Mond.

Outside Mondstadt's SS-level secret realm.

Captain Qin and his team came to the entrance of the secret realm again. This time, the whole team equipped themselves with artifacts that most people had never seen before, including the Sky Blade, Sky Pride, and Wind Eagle Sword, which were treasured by the church.

All four of them wore extremely rare holy relics, and had bulging waist bags around their waists filled with various potions. Compared to the preparations made a week ago, it was completely different.

"Come in!" said Captain Qin.

The adventurers around started chatting again after seeing Captain Qin go in.

"The three branches of the Adventurer's Association gathered four adventurers at the peak of their combined ranks, but they only made it to the 87th floor. When they were attacking the 88th floor, one of them was disabled and lost an eye, so he chose to quit. It's difficult to stay in this secret realm permanently."

"We can't even defeat the peak combined level warriors. If Captain Qin and the others can't win, then there's really nothing we can do."

"Let's go to Liyue Harbor and ask Master Xuan for help. That should solve the problem. But Master Xuan is so elusive in Liyue Harbor that we can't find him at all. If we want to ask him for help, we have to find him first!"

"Yes! Recently I heard that the white flying object next to the traveler Ying seemed to have appeared in Liyue Harbor. It is said that the man next to her is Master Xuan. I don't know if I will have the chance to meet him."

"It's not easy to find Master Xuan, but it's easy to find Ningguang of Tianquan Star! Send an official letter to Qun Yu Pavilion and ask the Adventurer's Association to pay some contracts, then maybe the problem can be solved."
