First of all, on the way to Konoha Village, we will pass by the territories of several groups of treasure robbers. I have already taken care of them, so they would rather leave people in the rain than bring them back to their base.

Besides, our Xuanyuan Trading Company has always had a good reputation. When the treasure-stealing group heard that we are Xuanyuan Trading Company, they would not deliberately make things difficult for us. After all, they also need to eat.

The food from our Xuanyuan Trading Company is affordable and of guaranteed quality. Many adventure groups and treasure-stealing groups have cooperative supply relationships with us. Moreover, each treasure-stealing group has its own sphere of influence and will not easily steal treasures across regions.

Before the old servant came, he used the anchor point to teleport to the bases of the six treasure-hunting groups. Their leaders all said that they had never seen any new treasure-hunting groups.

They sent their brothers to check on the dozen or so people captured by the Qianyan Army, but they didn't recognize any of them. They didn't look like Liyue people. They had fair skin and looked like they were from the Kingdom of Winter.

Previously, our Xuanyuan Trading Company delivered a batch of grain to Zhidong Country. The price was half a percent lower than the market price, and the grain was also new. There should be no grudges, right?

The main thing is that the master and the lady caught a cold at the same time and died at the same time. Isn't this too fast? Moreover, the master and the lady practiced the Five Animal Exercises every day. They can't live to be a hundred years old, but their bodies are not so fragile.

Most people who catch a cold can survive for a week, but in this case, they all died in less than two days. It was really strange.

In addition, we also received news from the Qianyan Army that the two people from the Adventurer's Association who accepted the mission and escaped before the battle were found.

The Qianyan Army found their bodies while patrolling Guiliyuan. One was frozen to death, and the other was cooked. It should be a premeditated murder, and I don't know what organization did it.

Besides, it's only summer now. The master and his wife only go back to Konoha Village in autumn to organize the grain harvest. They shouldn't go back early. I'll check later to see if any outsiders have contacted the master and his family."

After Lin Zixuan heard this, he was stunned. What was going on? I was just an ordinary househusband who could cook. How could this intelligence involving various groups and fields be so confusing?

What's the point of asking these questions to a 10-year-old?

Forget it, just give him some chicken soup!

"There are indeed many doubts. We must avenge our parents. As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. They are now in the dark, and we are in the light. This is a very disadvantageous situation. The current clues are on the three treasure-stealing groups that escaped. Even if we want to execute a plan like luring the snake out of its hole, we must have strong strength to execute it.

The two adventurers who escaped were powerful warriors at the "transformation" level. Now one was turned into ice cream and the other was burned into charcoal. This proved that the other party's fighting power must be at the "combination" level, and there might be more than one.

Even if I hire a God's Eye owner of the 'combination' level, if the other party sends out five people of the same 'combination' level to besiege me, do you think she will just run away without saving me?

Uncle Fu, what I need most now is time. I need time to improve my abilities and to receive all kinds of information from Xuanyuan Trading Company.

Uncle Fu, you can protect me for a while, but you can't protect me forever!"

After Lin Zixuan gave Uncle Fu some chicken soup, he silently gave himself a thumbs up.

"Indeed, Liyue Harbor under the rule of the Rock King is very safe. No one dares to cause trouble here. There is no rush for revenge.

Master Xuan, if you follow the path of a warrior, you will reach the top when you reach 'Cheng'. Master, you don't have the Eye of God, nor do you have a special physique. If you continue to practice, it will only be considered as strengthening your body. Why not recruit a few people who have the Eye of God?"

"Who said I don't have a special physique? This time, it was a blessing in disguise for me. I awakened the bloodline of the descendants of immortals. Now I can easily feel the dark green and purple elemental particles floating around me." After saying that, Lin Zixuan silently took a sip of tea.

"Pah..."

Uncle Fu opened his mouth so wide that his jaw was dislocated. He quickly knocked his jaw back. He was shocked. How could this be possible? This family... actually reactivated their bloodline?

"Master Xuan!!! Are you sure you can sense two kinds of elemental particles?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Master Xuan, you don't know that even the owner of the Eye of God can only sense one kind of elemental particles. The purple one must be the thunder attribute, and the dark green one should be the wind attribute or the grass attribute."

"Then, let's use the thunder attribute openly! The other attribute can be used as a trump card! Don't tell anyone else. Also, please let Uncle Fu take care of the operation of the business first. Now is the golden stage for me to improve my strength, and I should not be distracted."

"I understand. Many of our company's commercial contracts are handled by Miss Yan Fei from the law firm. The master once gave Miss Yan Fei the main seal of the company for safekeeping and signed a contract.

You have to wait until Master Xuan or the future direct descendants of the family are 15 years old before you can receive it. After all, they are immortals and it is not a problem for them to live 10 generations longer than us. I only have a copy of the seal in my hand. There are some warehouses that recognize the seal but not the person. "

"Yan Fei?" Lin Zixuan rubbed his forehead. What a familiar name. The pink figure last night floated through his mind. Yes, it was the immortal who became the dust warehouse manager in front of Klee.

"Master Xuan, I will go back to the company first. I will arrange a medicinal bath and secret manual for you and send them to you in the evening. Also, no matter what happens, please do not leave Liyue Harbor. Liyue Harbor is the safest! The Rock King is the strongest!"

Lin Zixuan looked at Uncle Fu, who was still able to show his eyes to the Rock King at the age of 50. He couldn't help but smile. In a few years, when the Rock King's new incarnation Zhongli appeared, he would probably be able to see him every day.

Just as Uncle Fu was about to leave, Lin Zixuan hurriedly asked, "Wait, Uncle Fu. I just heard you say that you were teleported back using an anchor point?"

"Yeah! What's wrong? Although the anchor points between countries are not interoperable. But in China, anchor point transmission is still very convenient."

Lin Zixuan frowned. He remembered that in the game only travelers would use this anchor point, right?

"Master Xuan, once you get the Eye of God, you can use the anchor point to teleport."

"Is it possible that only a certain special person can use it? Even the Eye of God cannot use it?"

"Master, you are joking. If that is true, ordinary people can't use it, and those with divine eyes can't use it either. Then why keep it? It would have been demolished by the General Affairs Department a long time ago."

“Uh... Uncle Fu is right!” Lin Zixuan couldn’t help but nod his head. If no one would really use it, in Liyue Harbor where every inch of land is valuable, this thing would have been demolished long ago. Wouldn’t it be better to build a big shop on it?

After leaving the villa, Uncle Fu came to the corner of the villa, leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky.

"Master, this 'Xuan' is not that 'Xuan'! I have watched the young master grow up, and the difference now is too great. What should I do?"

Uncle Fu recalled the instructions given by his master and the special features of this family.

"Let's just observe for a while."

Chapter 4: First meeting with the idle old man

Lin Zixuan saw Uncle Fu leave. It was time for lunch, so he decided to go to Wanmin Hall to find food. It would be a shame not to go to the Chihuyan shopping street which is hundreds of meters long.

In the hot summer, even with the sea breeze blowing, it still makes people feel irritable.

After locking the door and preparing to leave, I suddenly discovered a serious problem.

After connecting the villa, the rich man, and the only young master together, you will find that the missing character is: a supporting role that must appear, but is very easy to forget - the maid.

According to Liyue, it means---maid!

After trying hard to recall, there was no relevant memory. After straining his brain power this time, the original owner's memory became even more vague.

Maybe the original owner's mother wanted to raise the child herself because she was old and that's why she didn't assign a maid to him?

That's not right. Even if I don't have a maid, the original owner's parents must have servants or something like that.

Uncle Fu went to Inazuma before, so where did all the servants go? I'll ask Uncle Fu again in the evening.

I stood at the door and waited for almost 10 minutes but didn't see a rickshaw passing by.

This reminds me of the days before Bluestar’s ride-hailing service became popular. It was almost impossible to get a taxi in remote areas.

This world without mobile phones is really not convenient at all. The convenient travel tools of the two circles flashed through my mind.

Let's just walk! 3.3 kilometers, just consider it as exercise.

Passing by the entrance of Chunxiang Kiln, the group of aunties from yesterday were not there. I saw Che Shen Ying'er sitting at the entrance of the shop with a decadent look on her face, fanning herself. It was obvious that she had just been verbally bombarded by the aunties not long ago.

Forget it. Even though I’m curious about things like ointment, I’d better not disturb her.

Walking to the Lotus Pond Square, there were many rickshaws parked under the trees on the roadside. It was probably because the sun was too strong at noon, so there was not much business, and many rickshaws were leaning against the rickshaws and dozing off.

I continued walking along the periphery of the square. I didn’t pay much attention to it when I was sitting on the rickshaw yesterday, but today when I walked there, I felt this sense of incongruity more and more.

There were rich people sitting in sedan chairs, workers pulling carts of goods, rickshaws, and very rare horse-drawn carriages.

Logically speaking, as the trade center of the continent of Teyvat, there should be countless carriages running on the streets. Are they too expensive to afford?

Maybe the transportation in Teyvat is not very convenient, and it is not easy to transport horses here? There is no crisp sound of iron hooves hitting the ground when a passing carriage passes by.

Perhaps it is because there are so many mountain roads in Liyue that the horses' hooves are severely worn out, which ultimately leads to the high price of horses.

The incongruity is... why there are no bicycles or tricycles, which are the most convenient. And the use of various iron tools is still in the initial stage.

As Liyue is covered by the divine power of the Geo King, there is certainly no shortage of minerals such as iron.

It is obviously an international-level port, but goods are still transported using primitive manpower. Although it looks bustling, the efficiency is too low!

"Squeak~~~" The unusual sound of wheels rubbing against each other came from the side. Then I saw a muscular man running past me pulling a cart with bags piled high on it.

I looked closely at the axle and saw that some kind of paste was squeezed out. Is this... grease with bushings? Even roller bearings are not used?

"Absolute protection leads to absolute comfort? Liyue's 3700 years of stagnation is really similar to Blue Star back then!" Lin Zixuan said softly while looking at the Lotus Pond Square.

The Rock King Emperor made several appearances and issued oracles, which proved that everything he thought was correct. Over time, no one dared to doubt or oppose the Emperor.

It is also possible that some of the Seven Stars are aware of some problems, but dare not raise them due to fear of the Rock Emperor.

The future Keqing should have seen the gap between Liyue and other countries during her travels in the mainland, which is why she has some complaints about Liyue, who is determined by the Emperor's words.

The relic guards produced by the destroyed country of Kanreya hundreds of years ago already have a bunch of cutting-edge technologies such as energy storage systems and power systems.

Liyue has not learned anything and is still using manpower. Wouldn't it be better to "transform" the Ruins Guards into excavators dedicated to mining?

It can be said that the entire land of Teyvat is within the scope of the power of the Rock King.

During the Battle of Kanreya, the Seven Gods responded to the call of Sky Island. This old man must have seen the cutting-edge technology of Kanreya.

So now the general situation of the Emperor and the Seven Stars is:

Rock King: Use tools to increase the output of iron ore next year. (Kan Ruiya's excavator is really good)

Qixing: OK! I'll ask the blacksmith to make more pickaxes right away.

The two sides were not thinking the same thing. Perhaps the Emperor thought that there was still a lot of time, so even if Qixing misunderstood his meaning, it didn't matter. So the matter was delayed indefinitely.

I passed by the entrance of a very luxurious restaurant. There were several tables on the right side of the entrance and a storyteller was telling a story.

Suddenly I saw a handsome, elegant young man wearing special brown clothes. He looked generous, calm, and noble, and his movements of drinking tea showed artistic beauty.

Lin Zixuan's pupils shrank. This was the new dharma body of the legendary Rock King.

He said to Lin Zixuan, "My dear, do you have time to come up and sit for a while?"

Lin Zixuan's mind was in turmoil: What was going on? Why was this old man here? Would I turn into stone if I refused? What would happen if I got a powerful kick from the God of War?

"Oh, OK!" (Pretending to be calm)

"My dear friend, you just said that absolute protection leads to absolute comfort. That's right!" (I was at least 200 meters away from you when I said this just now. How did you hear it?)

"I wonder if you have any solution to this situation?" (My toes have already started to build a three-bedroom, one-living room house)

"I see that your body exudes the aura of an immortal, which seems familiar. Hmm... is it the descendant of that old friend? But... his descendants..." The person who spoke pondered for a moment. (I don't even know which immortal ancestor I am, but you actually know him. You are indeed the Rock King.)

"I learned a lot from fighting him at that time. He created a forest with a wave of his hand. He created a huge wooden man with his hands together.

It's a pity that there are more rocks than trees, so I was lucky enough to win. In fact, he learned the wood seal technique from me. "(I give full marks for this B. How dare you say that there are more rocks than trees?)

"Wipe your sweat, young man. I am old and talk too much, please forgive me. My name is Zhongli, and I am currently a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall." (It seems that this old man has long seen that I know his identity, but he has moved into the Wangsheng Hall so early? I haven't seen him a few days ago.)

Is this the conversation between mortals and gods? I can't get a word in. The pressure is too strong. No wonder the Seven Stars have always been only concerned about the status quo and refused to make innovations. People in high positions always worry too much.

I'm afraid that in all these years, there may be only one young and foolish person, Keqing, who openly rejects the Emperor.

I calmed down and thought that I had received some information from my ancestors. How should I answer? (I'd better brag a little bit)

“I think I should change my identity and hide in the dark to protect Liyue. Let Liyue enter an era of human rule, not divine rule.

The gods have been in power for too long. The long-term protection of the Geo Emperor has made the people of Liyue lose their ambition to make progress.

Now the six countries are secretly developing themselves. They not only have many ancient relics, but also many kinds of technologies handed down. They even absorbed the essence of Kanreya's technology and created their own unique technology.

Mond's wind-powered wheat-grinding device, the church's medical technology, and various latest alchemical achievements;

Inazuma's Tamage steel technique, the man-made wonder of the Daihinomi palanquin;

Xumi's canned knowledge and technology, as well as top-level academic research;

Fontaine's photo-taking pocket watch, a precision manufacturing process, steam technology, and Manghuang robot technology;

The elemental gun technology, elemental armor technology and various powerful war props of the Kingdom of Winter;

Only Liyue is still pressing the pause button.

Using candles that have long been eliminated in other countries,

Pushing inefficient carts that other countries don't even use to load goods,

Other countries produce 10 tons of steel per day, but the iron shops in Liyue still use manual labor to forge iron. (The giant Kanreya furnace in the desert, the mechanical iron forging in the Fontaine blacksmith shop.)

Liyue has the largest mine in all of Teyvat, and the amount of steel it produces is not even a fraction of that of others.

Although I have been in Liyue for a short time, I found that Liyue does not have any technology that can be shown off and envied by others, which makes me very uncomfortable.

The most promising technology in Liyue is the Immortal Talisman technology, which can be used to do many things. However, the immortals keep their Immortal Talisman technology secret, and the families that have learned the Immortal Talisman will also have sectarian prejudices, which leads to the technology not being spread.

Apart from the immortals, there are probably less than ten people in Liyue who have fully mastered this immortal talisman technology, and the rest are basically beginners who only know one or two talismans.

When you don't tell me the specific steps, the Seven Stars will often take many things in a moderate direction due to various concerns and differences in vision.

It will neither progress nor regress. However, this has led to the situation that when other countries are progressing, Liyue is already regressing.

Your clone has traveled around the continent of Teyvat, and he must know more about the situations in other countries than I do.

I once heard a saying: A lion king leading a group of sheep can beat a sheep leading a group of lions.
