There were two shogunate soldiers guarding the door. As soon as Li Qiuzhi and his friends walked in, they saw a reception desk with staff.

"Hello, if you are here to go through the formalities for landing on the island, please inform us of your identities and purpose of landing. Mr. Thomas doesn't need to tell us!"

Yinshan, the receptionist at the reception desk, said as he looked at several strangers and an acquaintance who were walking by.

The strangers were naturally Li Qiuzhi, Ying and Paimeng, and the familiar one was Thomas. It really only took him a few months to become familiar with the entire outlying island.

Please support me by voting for me monthly, recommending me, and subscribing to me. Thank you for your support!

Chapter 349 Corrupt Inazuma Officials

"Identity and purpose?"

When Paimon heard the question from the lady in front of him, his face turned slightly bitter.

I had never thought of asking these questions before, and they hadn't even discussed it beforehand.

"Uh, we are here to... that..." Paimon hesitated and wanted to say something, but he had not yet formed a complete idea and logic in his mind.

"Hmm? What's the matter? Please tell me why you are here so I can register you."

Yinshan fiddled with the ends of his neck-length hair with his fingers and looked at little Paimon with a slightly puzzled look.

"We are here to do business in specialty products and minerals."

Ying touched her fair chin and thought for a while before answering.

There are indeed many ores stored in her load space, as well as specialties from Mondstadt and Liyue, so her statement is not random and can withstand inspection.

"Specialties and minerals," Yinshan asked again, "Currently, only merchants from the 'International Chamber of Commerce' are allowed to engage in this type of import and export business. Do you have the relevant business licenses?"

"Uh." Ying was also stuck now.

This was the first time she had heard of the "International Chamber of Commerce", so how could she have their business license?

"Miss Thomas, the registrar, knows you, why don't you go and talk to her?"

Li Qiuzhi stood behind Ying and Paimeng and whispered to Thomas next to him.

He vaguely remembered that in the game's plot, all the registration and residence procedures for the travelers when they first arrived at Inazuma were handled by Thomas.

"Hey, don't worry. I have already prepared your documents for landing on the island."

Thomas smiled and nodded, then took out the documents of several people from the Eye of God and handed them to the registrar:

"Ms. Yinshan, these are their documents for landing on the island."

Yinshan, who had short hair that reached his neck, took the document, took a quick look at it, and nodded when he found nothing wrong. He smiled and said to everyone:

"Yes, there is no problem with the documents. Welcome to the island."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her words.

If they do not have the procedures for landing on the island, they will probably be classified as illegal landers and will have no choice but to be sent back in disgrace, or stay secretly and become "illegal residents."

If you get caught like this, you'll go to jail.

Of course, no one would be able to find Li Qiuzhi if he wanted to hide, but it would not be good to do so without formal procedures.

"Damn it, since you've already prepared the information, why didn't you take it out earlier!"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and glared at Thomas angrily.

"Haha, I just wanted to see how you would deal with it. Sorry, sorry." Thomas touched his hair and said embarrassedly.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying both looked at him speechlessly.

"Hmph. Then we should go to that 'Distant Country Supervisory Office' next."

Paimon floated up and down slightly in the air, then changed his posture to hug his arms and spoke.

"Yes, please continue to follow me!" Thomas nodded with a smile.

He thought the little guy Paimon was very interesting.

"Oh, it feels so troublesome. Why does it take so many procedures to get an Inazuma? Mondstadt and Liyue don't have so many things to do. Moreover, the places to handle the procedures are not in the same place. Isn't this embarrassing?"

Ying, who was walking side by side with Li Qiuzhi, complained a little, and her pretty face with fair skin showed a decadent look.

She was obviously troubled by these trivial matters.

"These rules were made by the Kanjo Bugyo, one of the three great magistrates of Inazuma. They are mainly responsible for trade and managing national wealth."

Thomas, who was walking in front, heard Ying's complaint and said something casually.

"That's it." Ying nodded.

Li Qiuzhi said with a smile:

"You can think of it as a commission. We do the same chores when we receive commissions."

Find a kitten and join the construction team as a temporary worker or something

"Okay, that's right, just think of it as a commission given to yourself."

Ying's skirt was gently lifted by the breeze, and her snow-white thighs between her white over-the-knee high-heeled boots and bloomer shorts were revealed in Li Qiuzhi's view.

She noticed Li Qiuzhi's sneak glance, her pretty face blushed slightly, she pressed the hem of her skirt down slightly, and then pinched Li Qiuzhi's thigh.

Humph, thinking about weird things all day long.

Li Qiuzhi continued walking while rubbing the slightly painful side of his leg, and naturally shifted his gaze upwards to look at Ying. Really, what's wrong with me looking at my wife!

It seemed that he sensed Li Qiuzhi's dissatisfaction.

Ying had a blank expression on her face. She stretched out her soft, white hands to the sides of Li Qiuzhi's waist and gently pinched the soft flesh there, as if she was going to twist it.

Li Qiuzhi opened his mouth, but finally gave in and obediently moved his gaze forward.

I happened to see a building of similar style to the inspection station I had just seen, but it was different in appearance and much larger.

Thomas, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around, and said with a smile:

"Okay, this is the 'Far Country Supervisory Office'. It looks like they haven't closed yet. We can go in and complete the residency procedures."

"You won't need any more documents this time, will you?"

Paimon spread his hands and looked at him.

"Haha, that's not necessary. Once you've completed the procedures for landing on the island, you just need to pay the money for the subsequent stay procedures."

Thomas shook his head and chuckled, then waved for everyone to follow him and walked into the "Distant Country Supervisory Office".

Li Qiuzhi and his companions followed Thomas and found the person in charge of the residence procedures at the "Distant Country Supervision Office" as if they were familiar with the place.

A beautiful lady too.

"Hello, are you guys going to go through the residency procedures? You should have completed the island landing procedures, right?"

Lilyhua said with a smile.

"Well, this is our permission to land on the island, and we three will handle the residency procedures."

Li Qiuzhi nodded in response and handed the document he got from the inspection station to the staff member.

Lily Hua took it and looked at it casually. After confirming that it was stamped by the Supervision Station, she nodded and said:

"There is no problem with the documents. Next, I will handle the residency procedures for you. Please pay the handling fee of three million Mora."

"Three million Moras!" Paimon's eyes widened. "Three million Moras is needed just to complete the formalities? Did you say there was an extra 'wan'?"

"Our work requires rigor. One million Mora per person, there is no mistake in the calculation."

Lilyhua replied with a smile.

Even though Li Qiuzhi remembered this happening in the plot, he was still a little shocked. All his Mora now added up to only 5.15 million.

Isn’t it too exaggerated that most of the money is gone just to go through the formalities?

It turns out that the officials in Inazuma are so corrupt nowadays. I wonder how much money they have cheated foreigners out of using this excuse.

Fortunately, Thomas was quite capable this time. He knew that Li Qiuzhi and his men could not handle these things, so he quickly stepped forward and said:

"Haha, Miss Baihehua, do I look familiar to you? These are my friends."

Sorry for being a little late.

Thanks to "空" for the 100-coin reward!

Chapter 350 Thomas's Intentions

"Oh, it's Mr. Thomas. I'll give you 400,000 Mora each for your sake."

Of course Lilyhua knew Thomas. This gentleman was very enthusiastic and had helped many people on the outlying islands.

I also often receive his favors, such as help in moving things.

He is also very kind and would even buy food for stray puppies.

Naturally, she was willing to give face to such a person.

"Wow, it's a lot cheaper now, but it's only 400,000 Mora." Paimon was a little reluctant. A big meal for them would cost at most 30,000 Mora.

Four hundred thousand Mora is enough for her to have more than ten big meals. No matter how you think about it, the handling fee shouldn't be so expensive!

"Well, it's indeed quite expensive." Ying sighed slightly.

Although it is expensive, there is no other way. We can't just go back the same way. Four hundred thousand Mora is still acceptable. When the time comes, we can find Inazuma's Adventurer's Association and take a few more commissions to earn it back.

But if they don't have the residence permit documents, the Adventurers Association will not accept commissions from these "illegal" foreign adventurers.

After all, when doing business on someone else's territory, you have to abide by their rules.

Even the Adventurer's Guild, which is spread across every city in the entire continent of Teyvat, is no exception. As an organization of this size, they naturally have to take the lead and set a good example.

"How about making it cheaper?" Li Qiuzhi said after thinking for a while.

One million and two hundred thousand Mora for three people is still a bit painful. I'm counting on you, brother Thomas. Please use your "face fruit" again.

If we can really chop down a few hundred Moras like in the plot, whatever help you want from me, I will definitely do it perfectly!

Li Qiuzhi thought to himself.

Of course he remembered the main plot line of Inazuma. Wasn't Thomas sent by Kamisato Ayaka to build good relations with the travelers and then invite them over to discuss "big things"?

With his current strength, he certainly cannot convince General Lei Dian, so he can let the traveler Ying do it.

But it is easy to deal with those family forces that are secretly doing trouble.

As expected, Thomas did not disappoint Li Qiuzhi. He smiled at Baihehua and said:

"You are so kind, Miss Lily Hua. Thank you very much. But I think the handling fee of 600 Mora is enough. I will pay for them and treat you to a meal. How about that?"

"Hey! Is there a way to bargain like this?"

Before Lilyhua, who was collecting the money, could get anxious, Paimon himself exclaimed.

"Haha, okay, then I'll rely on Mr. Ma."

Lily Hua looked at Thomas and smiled faintly. She didn't care much even if the price was cut from 400,000 to 600. After all, it was just a little less income today.

There will be more in the future.

However, there are not many opportunities to have dinner with a handsome man like Mr. Thomas.

"Hey, thank you for your care."

Thomas said with a chuckle.

Outside the Far Country Supervisory Office.

After receiving the residence permit documents, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now they can stay in Inazuma legally and in compliance with regulations.

"Three people cut 3 million Moras down to 600 Moras. It's incredible no matter how you think about it."

Paimon hadn't recovered from his shock yet. Are all Inazuma people so flexible in their views on money?

"Haha, the so-called handling fees are just private items. No matter how much, it will all go into the pockets of those supervisors. It's just a matter of how much you make."

Thomas shook his head.

"So they are just bullying some honest foreigners like us?"

Li Qiuzhi was a little speechless.
