"I just let them." Paimon crossed his arms and tilted his head to one side.
"My strength has recovered a lot, and it's almost time for me to leave for Liyue. The news about Liyue has been what I've heard the most in the past few months."
"That country where that big bad guy lives! I really don't want to see him at all."
"If you miss this year's 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals', you won't know how many years you'll have to wait. I heard from Wendy that Liyue's Rock God would come once a year to give out oracles and guide the direction of Liyue's business for the year.
But in the past ten years, it seems to appear less and less frequently. In total, it has appeared three times in the past ten years, and each time it appeared later than the last."
"Okay! Paimon, my best travel companion, will continue traveling with Ying! I heard that there are no treasure-hunting groups in Liyue, and there are many treasure chests in the wild."
"Let's go to the Adventurer's Guild and find some commissions. We bought two game consoles, and we don't have much savings left. The journey is long, and we have to prepare food for you."
The two walked out of the hotel and came to the Adventurer's Association. The receptionist Catherine was receiving the adventurers at the reception booth at the door.
"Toward the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurers Association."
"Catherine, we are here to take on missions! Let's see if there are any missions that are suitable for us."
"You are the Honorary Knight. Welcome. Before you send me on my quest, I have something for you. It is a package sent from Liyue."
"Liyue's package?" Paimon held his chin with his hand, looking suspicious. "He seems to be the only one we know?"
"I think so." Ying nodded and saw Catherine take out a small wooden box from the counter at the back.
"Liyue is very hostile to the Adventurer's Association. This is the first time we have received a commission from that master. We must do this job beautifully. In fact, if you didn't come today, the Adventurer's Association would have arranged for other adventurers to find you."
"That gentleman? Could it be Lin Zixuan? Is he really that famous?"
"Lin Zixuan of Xuanyuan Trading Company is a reformist and powerful person in Liyue. He also has an unclear relationship with Ningguang of Tianquan Star. The changes in Liyue over the years are basically related to him. Thanks to him, the Adventurer's Association of Liyue can only take on some errands."
"Ah, then there won't be any income there?" Paimon looked at the traveler Ying, "What should we do? Should we still go to Liyue?"
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to go. Let's see what's inside this package first!"
After tearing off the seal on the outside, the contents of the small wooden box appeared before his eyes: a note, a simple map, two contracts, two magic weapon ID cards, a black crystal card, and two keys.
[Liyue is very different from other countries. I have specially prepared some small gifts for your smooth journey.] The back of the note introduced how to use these things, but I didn't have time to read it carefully.
Many adventurers around looked over and gasped when they saw the things taken out of the wooden box. Their eyes had turned into lemon shapes.
"Huh? Why do the people around me look so envious?" Paimon looked at the reactions of the people around him and felt that something seemed to be wrong.
"Because Liyue is the most difficult country to apply for immigration in the entire Teyvat continent, these two magic identity cards are equivalent to you being citizens of Liyue and enjoying various welfare policies."
Said a little adventurer who was wearing windproof glasses, a hemostatic patch on his nose, and had a big bump on his head.
"Is that so? Is your head okay? There's a big swelling on it."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm used to it. I'm just about to hand in my mission and go to the cathedral for treatment. Hello! I'm Bennett, the leader of the 'Benny Adventure Group'. You should be the Honor Knights Ying and Paimon, right?
I have heard of your names. I also want to fight the Wind Dragon like you, but it’s a pity that I have been locked up in the secret realm for those days.”
"We only helped a little in the battle against the Wind Demon Dragon."
"I heard that Liyue's magic weapon ID card recognizes the owner by dripping blood, can float on the palm of the hand, and can also generate a shield. It would be great if I also had the shield skill, so that I won't get hurt."
Paimon picked up the magic weapon ID card with her own portrait printed on it, and the ID card floated in her palm. Ying also picked up her magic weapon ID card, which also floated up.
"When did I bleed?"
Paimon recalled. Except for the time when he was frozen and fell to the ground at the door of the cathedral and scraped his skin, he didn't seem to bleed again. Ying also recalled that she didn't have the impression of bleeding.
A surprised voice interrupted their thoughts.
"Could this black crystal card be the rare black crystal card in Liyue's legend that says 'You spend, I pay'? There are only about ten of them in the whole of Liyue. You can eat and drink as much as you want in Liyue."
"You spend and I pay?" Paimeng immediately shifted his attention when he heard that it was related to eating.
“You can eat and stay for free at several famous restaurants and hotels in Liyue. You can take the train and the boat for free.
It's basically: This is a distinguished guest of Xuanyuan Trading Company, you serve her well, and Xuanyuan Trading Company will cover all the expenses."
"Isn't this too extravagant?" Paimeng's eyes were shining, and saliva was faintly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"It seems that there is more than that. This contract seems to be a house deed. The address is near Chihu Rock in Liyue Harbor. Houses there are very expensive nowadays. The other one is the deed for the Liyue Crystal Car. I estimate that these two things will cost at least 5 million Mora, right?"
"Five hundred million Mora? How many missions would it take to get that? If you show your kindness for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief."
Although Paimeng is a bit of a money-grubber, even a fool can see that there must be something wrong with giving so many things away.
Ying's face was not good either. She and him were just casual friends. What on earth did he want to do by giving her such a valuable thing? Was he supporting her?
Put the items back into the small wooden box and place it in front of Catherine.
“Can you send this box back?”
"Well, that gentleman also guessed this situation. Here is his letter." Catherine took out a letter and handed it to Ying.
[If you want to know about your brother, you have to accept these things! ]
After reading the letter, Ying crumpled it into a ball.
"It seems like I'm being held captive. What should I do?" Paimon also knew that the matter concerning her brother was very important.
"When we get to Liyue, I'll return these things to him in person."
"Well, this is the Ying I know."
......
It is now December.
Liyue's first online game competition is slowly underway. The competition will be held at 8pm-11pm, the prime time after get off work, so people can take their time to watch and participate in the competition. Due to the large number of participants, a week-long audition will be held to determine the top 32.
On the surface, Liyue Harbor seemed calm and peaceful with people singing and dancing, but there was constant movement in the dark. These Fatui frequently went to Lonely Cloud Pavilion in the name of enjoying the scenery.
The Qianyan Army was also conducting more drills and patrols. In order to prevent some uncontrollable tragedies from happening, Lin Zixuan considered again and again and unfolded an illusion in the army. A thousand-mile dam collapsed because of an ant hole. Behind them was Liyue Harbor, and they could not retreat even a single step.
Illusion: The real choice.
The situation of Warcraft attacking the city was simulated, and they were constantly reminded in the illusion that their family members, wives and children were behind them, and they would die if they escaped.
The illusion ended, and some weak-minded people were transferred to positions responsible for logistics and people's livelihood. They left the army without complaint, shedding tears.
Lin Zixuan also arranged for counselors to provide psychological counseling to these people. After all, that was their real choice, and they just needed to know themselves. There was nothing wrong with being a little selfish, but it was not appropriate in this place.
Today's Liyue is no longer the country that had no trump cards except for the immortals 10 years ago. All fears come from insufficient firepower. With a bunch of trump cards in hand, they are enough to deal with various situations.
The boss, the Whirlpool Demon, is not a big problem with the help of the immortals. The biggest trouble is the followers he controls and the stray bullets.
Some documents record that there was an aquatic extermination operation during the Demon War, which was most likely the followers of the Whirlpool Demon Osel.
Tens of thousands of monsters will come from the deep sea, with soft skin and scales, flexible arms and legs, can survive even if their limbs are cut off, and will spit out sticky and wet liquids... The above characteristics are disgusting enough, but they are not the point. The point is: they are very "small" and seem to be everywhere.
Even the Wind Dragon Tevarin had a screen full of magic bullets, and almost flipped over while flying a plane. This Whirlpool Demon God, whose combat power was not weaker than that of the Rock King, should be even more powerful.
Wouldn't it be like throwing a few bubbles like in the game? His attack would definitely trigger a tsunami, and there would even be a lot of stray bullets flying into Liyue Harbor.
I don't know if this whirlpool demon god Osel can be recruited. I heard that beating him down first and then using verbal persuasion will be very effective. I'll try it after it's over.
mid-December.
Chess game: The top 32 players of Liyue Millennium have been born, and the competition has entered a round-robin mode. Just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, the gambling odds are constantly changing.
The results of the 32-strong round-robin tournament were also recorded. People could click in to replay the video. Some "expert" comments also appeared in the newspapers. Xuanyuan Trading Company announced the rewards, and the rewards given were still very eye-catching.
Lin Zixuan also received news that the traveler Ying and Xiangling were heading to Liyue Harbor together. Maybe Xiangling went to Mondstadt to look for fresh ingredients and ran into the traveler Ying by chance?
I gave her some small gifts before, to see if I could tie her to Liyue’s ship. After all, except for the black crystal card, the others are standard equipment for Liyue’s plan to recruit talents from the continent of Teyvat.
After the battle of Osel is over, the Dust Song Pot that Grandma Ping made for her will be the real valuable item. Of course, it is too one-sided to measure some things with Mora.
Late May.
After a fierce battle among the top 8, 3 players finally made it to the next round. They competed with Tianquanxing Ningguang. Unfortunately, these 3 players were not the same 3 players that Ningguang met last time.
Ningguang, who was ready to avenge her previous defeat, was very upset. In the end, they won by a crushing manner. After checking the records, it seems that they did not even participate in the auditions. They must be busy with something. I will go and comfort Ningguang later.
Lin Zixuan looked to the north. It was time to make some special preparations.
Chapter 120 Liyue in the Eyes of Outsiders
A new year begins.
People calculated last year's profits, and no matter they were businessmen or workers, they all smiled at the heavy Mora in their pockets.
Many people have also started to accumulate some property. The brothers that Inazuma met a few years ago have long been released from prison. Last year, they became the rich people in Hualin Village and seriously studied the circular breeding model arranged in prison.
A year of hard work has paid off. Not only do we have a little kid in the family now, but we have also built a new house.
However, the people of Liyue did not know that this year would be a year of great changes. Lin Zixuan was lying on a recliner, looking through the detailed information of the oracles bestowed by the Rock King Emperor over the past 3700 years.
More than a thousand years ago, government affairs were handled every day. After the establishment of the Seven Stars, it gradually became a visit once a year.
He usually disguises himself in various forms and conducts secret visits. Once he finds a problem, he will handle it at the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals".
However, the annual ceremony of summoning the gods, which used to involve hundreds of oracles, suddenly decreased to a dozen or even a few oracles more than four hundred years ago.
The gradually decreasing number of oracles should be due to the development of the godless kingdom and the conversation between the merchant and his subordinates after the rain: "You have fulfilled your duties well. Now, go and rest."
The gradually reduced supervision allowed those parasites to see loopholes and gradually extended their hands into places they shouldn't have been in. 200 years ago, the Seven Stars began to try to deprive Ganyu of some of her rights. I have to admire that they succeeded.
Liyue has a history of 3700 years, and was established long before the Demon War. How much suffering did people go through during this period, from the initial difficult struggle to the happy life today?
The library of the General Affairs Department contains a mountain of historical documents that tell everything about Liyue. Unfortunately, there is not much information about the outside world of Teyvat in the documents.
If Heaven is defeated and the protective shield of Teyvat is destroyed, the hard-earned peace will disappear. Are the people of Teyvat ready to deal with the disaster?
Why did the traveler Ying's brother stand on the side of the abyss? Was it simply for revenge? Or was there some other unknown secret? There was too little relevant information in my memory.
If the future direction is divided into two situations:
One is to let people know the truth and struggle to survive in the wasteland in the future.
The other is to put people into a small world and let them live in ignorance and happiness.
Which one is correct? I am afraid that different people will have different answers.
I am just an ordinary person, a passer-by. Although I have gained power, I do not have the foundation of the emperors and immortals. It is already the limit for me to manage the three acres of land at my doorstep and let them become self-reliant.
Maybe the Kingdom of Winter has some great ideals and plans. But isn't it a bit too much to force the other six nations to go crazy with you?
Lin Zixuan stood up and looked at the port below. This year, it was the turn of Tianquan Star Ningguang to organize the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals". It should be the most special one. When the surprise turns into a shock, I hope she won't get mad!
Uh, the corner of my eye twitched, I really envied their carefree life. I saw Hu Tao carrying a little girl with a yellow talisman on her hat and running quickly towards Lishajiao. The little girl had been tied up with a rope and her mouth was gagged.
Then Ajiu and Bai Zhu also appeared in front of him, searching for something. From the looks of them, it seemed that they had lost their target.
Bai Shu, who is full of mystery, shows him a negative effect of longevity. I wonder if he can solve it? The erosion of memory by wear and tear is terrible.
There were two patients with amnesia who suffered from longevity in front of him. With his profound knowledge, if he became someone who didn't know who he was just for the sake of longevity, that would probably be the last thing he could accept.
Shimen border.
"Wow, it's so lively!" Paimeng looked at the huge border checkpoint, the passenger area, the vehicle inspection area, the freight area, and the special green channel.
At the entrance of the passenger area, some tour groups wearing hats of special colors were listening to the tour guide explaining precautions.
"Hey, this is just the border service station with Mondstadt! Wait until you get to the dock in the new city area of Liyue Harbor, and you'll know what shocking is." Xiangling explained with a smile.
"It feels really different. Those soldiers are so slow in checking. Does Mondstadt need to prepare so much information to go to Liyue?" The three of them have already lined up in the crowd. Paimon flew up and saw that the Thousand Rocks Army in front was conducting a border crossing inspection.
"The documents that need to be prepared are written outside the gate. Once you have prepared them, the border crossing will be very fast. People with Liyue magic weapon ID cards will be faster. Basically, they will be allowed to pass after registration.
In the past, the border of Liyue was of little use. Anyone could cross mountains and rivers to enter Liyue. There were many immortals and treasures in Liyue, and merchants were often robbed by treasure-stealing groups.
A few years ago, under the leadership of Brother Xuan, all the treasure-stealing groups in Liyue were wiped out, and self-disciplined protective trees and vines were planted all along the border, and these treasure-stealing groups have never been seen again.
Nowadays, Liyue is a place where robbery does not happen. Robbery is directly classified as the most serious type of criminal law. Therefore, you don’t have to be afraid of going anywhere in Liyue, it is very safe.
You have to be careful when digging for treasure. Some treasure chests are on the self-disciplined protective trees. If you walk past them, you will be tied up and hung upside down. The Qianyan Army basically patrols once a day. If you are sent to the prison, it will be troublesome."
"There is no treasure-stealing group, no robbery. Ying, it seems we can't even complete the escort mission." Paimeng spread his hands, looking like we are finished.
"There are still many ways to earn Mora! Your cooking skills are so good, you can earn a lot of Mora by setting up a stall in one night. Also, look at those people with empty hands next to you. In fact, they are all purchasing agents!" Xiangling said in a low voice.
"Purchasing on behalf of others?" Paimeng and Ying looked at Xiangling at the same time.
“If you want to ship Liyue products abroad for sale, you need to pay taxes. If you only carry items that do not exceed the specified amount, it will not be considered smuggling.
You should know that in the Xuanyuan Trading Company branch in Mondstadt, the game console in Mondstadt is sold for 33 Mora. In the Xuanyuan Trading Company in Liyue, the retail price is 30 Mora.
I recently heard from my dad that the merchants only need 25 Mora for wholesale. There is a price difference of tens of thousands, which is quite a lot of profit.”
"No wonder we only bought a game console for 29.9 yuan. We thought we made a good deal."
