Genshin Impact: The Demon God incarnates!.

"But what I'm more curious about is how this Mora got to Lin Yu. Could it be that what that person said was true, that it was given by the Emperor to Yu Shen as a symbol of friendship?" Then isn't this friendship a bit cheap...

It seems that in the eyes of the gods, this first Mora in the world is not worthy of being used as a gift symbolizing friendship.

However, it mainly depends on the person. It is appropriate to give it to ordinary people as a symbol of friendship, but it is obviously inappropriate to give it to Lin Yu.

To make an analogy, it is like giving a piece of wood to Lin Yu, saying it is a symbol of friendship.

"No, no, no, as far as Zhongli's stone is concerned, how could he personally present a gift and express his feelings?"

"This Mora, of course, is something he created. I thought it should have a certain collection value, so I took advantage of him not paying attention and snatched it from Zhongli's hand with a quick, accurate and ruthless move."

"After I snatched it, I have kept it in my space until now. If I hadn't heard someone mention it today, I would have almost forgotten that there is such a Mora with special meaning in my space."

Lin Yu explained with a smile.

Zhongli was quite helpless about this. Even if a Mora had collectible value, it was still just a Mora. In his opinion, wasn't Mora meant to be spent? It wasn't necessarily different from other Moras.

Could it be that Lin Yu snatched it from Zhongli when he wasn't paying attention?

After hearing this answer, everyone felt that it was a little beyond their expectations, but as long as they thought about it for a while, they felt that it seemed very reasonable for Lin Yu to do such a thing given his personality at the time.

"So that's how it is. If it's really a gift symbolizing friendship, then it's a bit cheap." Gui Zhong said with a smile.

Heuliah on the side nodded, indicating that he and Guizhong had the same opinion.

After everyone learned about the appearance of the first Mora in this world and what happened, they were no longer so interested in this matter.

Instead, they started talking about other things.

"By the way, Guizhong, I heard from Ruotu and the others earlier that you wanted to open a rune technology research institute in Liyue Harbor that specializes in rune technology research. Is there any progress now?" Lin Yu, who had just eaten a golden shrimp ball, suddenly remembered this.

Gui Zhong shook his head: "For now, there has been no substantial progress. The main reason is that we haven't found the right research direction yet. Funding is secondary. Selling some mechanical products is enough to support it."

"Hmm? Can rune technology be so difficult for Guizhong? What does it mean that he hasn't found the right research direction?" Lin Yu was a little puzzled. After all, Guizhong had indeed started researching rune technology a long time ago.

It can be said that no one in this world understands rune technology better than Gui Zhong.

As for him, the creator of rune technology? He could have ignited the fire, but he didn't have the ability to control it.

He can create various rune mechanisms at will, but he knows nothing about the operating logic of the rune mechanisms.

"Rune technology has been popularized in the mortal world for more than 500 years. After more than 500 years of continuous development and progress, rune technology has already penetrated into every household in Liyue."

"The direction I pursue is to be able to change the world with rune technology. For example, a few hundred years ago, someone invented the rune stove, which changed the way the people of Liyue made fire and cooked."

After listening to Gui Zhong's words, Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully.

He roughly understood what Gui Zhong wanted.

"I understand. I wonder what Guizhong thinks about the current transportation methods in the mortal world? Is it possible to develop a set of transportation tools based entirely on rune technology, thereby changing the way Liyue people travel?" After understanding Guizhong's needs, Lin Yu immediately raised a point.

Changing the way the people of Liyue travel, developing a means of transportation that is completely based on rune technology?

She could do it easily with runes, after all, runes contained immortal power. However, rune technology was completely made by manpower, and it was very challenging for Gui Zhong to make a vehicle based entirely on rune technology.

For example, the Thousand Rocks Armor in the mortal world today is the product of Guizhong and Liuyun using runes back then.

But if they want to replicate this thing using rune technology, even Gui Zhong and Liu Yun won’t be able to do it.

"I wonder if Lin Yu has any ideas?" Seeing Lin Yu talking like this, Gui Zhong asked.

Chapter 272: The Abyss Cult, Upside-Down Statue (4000)

Speaking of ideas, Lin Yu actually has some ideas.

If rune technology is used to change the way Liyue people travel, then Lin Yu will have something to say.

Many means of transportation in the previous life should be able to be replicated using rune technology. With a wise man like Guizhong around, I believe that replicating them should not be a difficult task.

So the question is, what kind of travel method should we choose?

Lin Yu thought about it carefully, and he finally decided to choose something ordinary and in line with the history of human transportation development.

This thing is a train. It also has a prototype in Liyue, so it will be much easier to develop it using rune technology.

"As for ideas, I do have some."

"Guizhong, you should know about the mine carts and rails used by Liyue miners to transport minerals, right?"

Lin Yu looked at Gui Zhong and said.

"Of course I know."

"Wait, I seem to understand what you want to say, Lin Yu. Aren't rails and mine carts a form of transportation? If we can use rune technology to enlarge it and give it the ability to move on its own..."

Lin Yu just mentioned it briefly, and Gui Zhong suddenly understood what Lin Yu wanted to say.

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"So, do you think this thing is useful?"

Lin Yu smiled and looked at Gui Zhong and said.

Gui Zhong said seriously: "From a technical point of view, this is not a difficult task. The only technology that needs to be cracked is the power system for traction rail vehicles."

As for breaking through the power system of the towing rail vehicles, since Liyue already has rune-powered ships, this is obviously not a difficult problem. All that needs to be done is to streamline, optimize and upgrade that system, and finally transfer it to the track.

Although it is not technically difficult, if it is really produced, it will greatly facilitate the travel of Liyue people across regions.

After the joy, Gui Zhong's face showed a hint of difficulty again.

"Although there are no technical difficulties, it won't take me long, at most a month to make the first machine."

"But it still needs to rely on tracks to operate, so laying tracks between destinations has become a major problem at present."

This kind of project is extremely huge in terms of both scale and funding.

If a rail car is made but there is no track for it to run on, then the rail car is no different from a decoration.

It would be very easy to do this as a God, but now it is done as a human.

"Oh! So this is what you are worried about."

“Don’t worry. Once you have made this magical weapon that benefits both the country and the people, I believe that with the vision of the Liyue Seven Stars, they will immediately understand its importance. At that time, we will congratulate you on becoming a guest of honor of the Liyue Seven Stars.” Lin Yu said with a smile.

If Gui Zhong is really worried, then let our dead Geo Emperor go and give a dream to the Liyue Seven Stars. Once the Liyue Seven Stars complete this task, Geo Emperor will then know about it.

"Then I can completely put my mind at ease and focus on my research."

"It's just that this is just the beginning of a research project that is so huge, the funds required are probably an astronomical figure. If we just rely on selling some mechanical creations, I don't know when we can raise this amount of Mora."

Gui finally sighed and said.

But why did Lin Yu feel that Gui Zhong had something else in his words? He always felt that Gui Zhong was hinting at something!

"I understand, I understand. You need my investment, Lin Yu, right? Take out your Li Yu bank card."

After Lin Yu finished saying this, Gui Zhong smiled and took out a Liyu bank card from his body.

At the same time, Lin Yu also took out his own Liyu Bank card, and with a swipe of his hand, he transferred 300 million Mora into Gui Zhong's Liyu Bank card.

"If the rail car project makes money in the future, remember to give me dividends!" Lin Yu did not forget to say jokingly after transferring the money.

Gui Zhong smiled and said, "Of course, of course!"

After using a large sum of Mora to support Gui Zhong, Lin Yu wanted to stand up and shout to the crowd, "Who still has a dream!"

Now all the gods of Liyue have their own property in the mortal world.

Oh, it seems that there is one person missing, and that is obviously our guest official Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall.

This is because everyone has their own aspirations!

The opening banquet that Marcosius prepared for everyone has come to an end here.

As Gui Zhong and He Li left first, Lin Yu also pulled Qing Yu out of the restaurant. Only Zhong Li was left drinking tea calmly. He seemed to be planning to finish this pot of tea before leaving.

After leaving the world's number one restaurant opened by Marcosius and Ruota, Lin Yu and Qing Yu prepared to walk back to their mansion.

But on the way back to the mansion, Lin Yu saw a very familiar light blue figure.

Isn’t this Ganyu?

And looking at Ganyu, it seemed like she was walking towards him.

"Yu... Lord Lin Yu, hello!"

Lin Yu nodded: "Hello, Ganyu, are you busy with official business again?"

"Yes, there is one thing, and it is related to you."

"Hmm? It's about me? What's going on?"

When Lin Yu heard Gan Yu say something related to him, he immediately became interested.

"It's about the Abyss Cult."

"Recently, Liyue's intelligence system has discovered traces of the Abyss Cult's activities at a location. However, the Abyss Cult's actions are generally dangerous, and the Liyue intelligence system has not found a suitable candidate recently."

"Because of your status as the eldest disciple of Qingyu Sword Immortal, Master Ningguang of Tianquan Star decided to entrust you with the task of investigating the traces of the Abyss Cult's activities."

Liyue's intelligence department has a history of thousands of years, so it is not weak in collecting intelligence. Liyue's intelligence department noticed that the neighboring Liyue Abyss Cult has been very active in recent years, so it marked it as a key observation target.

However, the Abyss Cult acts in a very secretive manner, and not many people in the world know this name. For a long time, the Liyue intelligence system had no information about the Abyss Cult.

And this time, I happened to capture some clues.

This is how Ganyu came to know the commission given to her by Ningguang of Tianquan Star.

"If you don't want to go, you can just refuse. It doesn't matter." Seeing Lin Yu pondering for a while, Ganyu said hurriedly.

Reject? Why?

It just so happened that Lin Yu began to feel that his life had been a bit boring recently, and the commission from Ningguang of Tianquan Star came at the right time.

"No need to refuse. Tell Ningguang that I have accepted the commission."

"Okay, okay!"

Ganyu then left, saying that he was going back to report.

But why do I always feel that Ganyu will start to get a little nervous every time she meets me? Is it because I touched the horns on Ganyu's head a long time ago?

Hey, facing such a kind person, I don’t know why I should be nervous.

"Ahem, my eldest disciple, do you want me to accompany you to complete this task?" Qingyu, who was beside Lin Yu, deliberately raised his voice.

"You're going to die." Lin Yu looked at Qing Yu and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Qingyu smiled and said, "Seriously, do you want to go together?"

"Yes, of course."

"Don't forget, you are my little follower, Lin Yu. I am going to do a commissioned task, how can I not have a little follower to do some odd jobs for me on the way?"

After Qingyu claimed to be an immortal, Lin Yu began to emphasize Qingyu's identity as his little follower.

Boys always show a competitive spirit in some inexplicable places.

"Okay, okay, it's my little follower." Qingyu smiled.

After accepting the commission, Lin Yu and Qing Yu did not stay in Liyue Harbor for too long, but directly found an empty alley in Liyue Harbor.

Then Lin Yu raised his hand and summoned a space door. The two of them crossed the space door and immediately arrived at the investigation location provided by Ganyu.

"Who? Who!"

It's just that there are already people at this location.

Lin Yu was very familiar with the figures of these three people, namely Kong, Paimon and a survivor of Kanria named Dainsreb.

At this time, Dainsleb looked at Lin Yu and Qing Yu who passed through the space gate, immediately drew out his weapons and stared at Lin Yu and Qing Yu with a vigilant look.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong."

"Dain and the others are our friends, please don't act on impulse!"

Paimon stood in front of Dainsreb and explained to him quickly.

You have to know that Lin Yu is the God of Feathers, and they had also seen Qing Yu beside Lin Yu when they were in Mondstadt. If Dainsleb had a conflict with these two, then Kong and Paimeng would have to go to the Hall of Rebirth to ask Zhongli Feng to handle it in a grand manner!

"Friend? It's really a coincidence that you appear here in this way."

Under Paimon's obstruction, although Dainsleb put away his weapon, he was still wary of Lin Yu in his eyes.

Be wary of this existence, who is likely one of the gods who destroyed Kanreya.
