Man in Xumi: I can copy the authority of the seven gods

Chapter 125 Set off to Liyue!

As the sun gradually rises, the city of Hua in the early morning shows a scene of all things reviving.

The road, which had been repaired and made wider, was filled with merchants coming and going.

Breathing in the fragrance wafting from his nose, Lin Feng, who had been busy and had experienced many major events recently, suddenly felt alive.

By the way, wasn't his original purpose to pet his dog and enjoy his retirement at the Liyue Bridge? How did he become the supreme leader of Xumi?

It was clearly a goal not long ago, but now it seems like a lifetime ago.

After taking office, he moderately relaxed the previous knowledge ban of the Educational Council, and also set up some compulsory education centers for children of school age in areas such as Vimalakirti Village and Huachengguo where there are many elderly people and children.

Previously, Xumi’s education outside of large cities was generally supported by voluntary travel scholars after a region applied for educational aid.

Because there are too few Tusas traveling outside, and the randomness brought about by free admission is too high, it is often the case that someone goes there after several years. Therefore, the educational significance is actually very limited. Except for a small number of geniuses, they cannot compete with the students in Xumi City at all.

After adding a stable education point, although the current results are not very significant, if it can be maintained for a long time, it should be able to alleviate the problem that the status of Xumi scholars is basically passed down through blood and ordinary people have no access to promotion channels.

——By the way, what is Tinari doing? Is he still teaching those kids?

Curious about his friend's current situation, Lin Feng went to his former ranger's office.

As they gradually walked into the town, the three little ones had already hidden in Lin Feng's "storage space". Because they had previously devoured the power of those abyss mages, coupled with the increase in their personal strength, this space, which was originally based on dreams, already had the prototype of Liyue's "Cave World".

The feedback given by Lanaro is:

It has the power of "grass and trees" and "dreams". It is more comfortable to stay here than in Huanalana. I like it.

After receiving such a reply, Lin Feng also understood the power within this space, which was most likely related to the authority he held.

Perhaps after learning the cave technology in Liyue, or gaining more power, he could be like the Traveler, and when facing the enemy, he could just clap his hands and call out a cart of breadmen for a righteous fight.

It is worth mentioning that although normal creatures still cannot enter this space, Xiaobai seems to be an exception.

Although the little guy looked bored and refused to go in, it also showed that it was indeed very different in essence from the native creatures of Teyvat.

Putting his inner thoughts behind for the time being, Lin Feng looked at the "Forest Patrol Officer School" not far away and silently quickened his pace.

"Come on, everyone, open page 73 of the Teyvat Literacy Encyclopedia, and let's continue yesterday's study."

"The text on this page is all about 'fruits'. Please compare the illustrations with the fruits I brought to deepen your impression."

"If you behave well, you can take these sweet sunset fruits and raspberries back as rewards."

Compared with the previous ranger's office, which is several times larger, it is now officially used by Tinari as a classroom for the children of forest walkers around the rainforest.

Tinari, who has a pair of long dark green ears, speaks passionately on the stage and uses the most interesting method to convey knowledge to children's minds.

The forest walker, who has been forced to travel through the rainforest for generations, expressed helplessness about his past in which he could not leave this small village for his entire life due to the knowledge ban.

But seeing that with the two gods coming to power, the House of Religion is willing to give every child equal opportunities to become scholars.

Having lived through countless generations of hardship, they almost without exception chose to send their children to Tinari’s classes.

Tinari, who gave up the high-paying job at the Church Order and took the initiative to apply for a part-time position as a teacher stationed in the Huacheng area in addition to his job as a forest ranger, also provided these children with extremely high teaching quality that was no less than that of the educational institutions in Xumi City with his unparalleled talents.

After waiting in front of the door for a while until the class was over, Lin Feng walked through the children who were happily taking the fruits home and came to Tinari.

"Long time no see, Senior Tinari. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you Teacher Tinari now?"

Lin Feng smiled and greeted Tinari in front of him, just like he did when he was still in the Huacheng Forest Patrol Team.

"Hey, Lin Feng, why are you joining in the fun like those other players?"

"I don't know who started this trend, but everyone calls me Teacher Tinari as soon as they see me, even though this is just a part-time job and I'm actually a ranger in the Huacheng area!"

Faced with the current situation, Tinari said somewhat helplessly.

“But I never expected that the child I took in from the rain forest a year ago would be the twin god of Lord Little Auspicious Grass King.”

"Didn't you swear to me that you were from Liyue?"

Because even after Lin Feng possessed the power of a god, he never put on airs. Tinari, who was born with a cheerful personality, did not call him "Master" in a dry voice as Runtu did when they met. Instead, he treated the young man in front of him with a normal attitude as usual.

"Ahem, the reasons behind this are very complicated. I'll tell you later when I think it's appropriate to explain it. For now, I'll just keep you in suspense."

Although Lin Feng had disguised his appearance when he served as the "First Sage", it was not because he was afraid of anything. He just didn't want to be surrounded by a group of paparazzi every time he went out.

It's just the identity of a god, there's nothing worth hiding from his close friends.

"Actually, I'm about to pass through the Chasm and head to Liyue. I came here just to see how you and Hua Chengguo are doing."

"This thriving scene before me is undoubtedly the best affirmation of all the work I have done since I took office."

Looking at the completely transformed city in front of him, Lin Feng, who had personally promoted the development of the people's livelihood in Xumi, felt a sense of accomplishment in participating in history.

"It's actually not that bad. After you came to power, you cleared out all the threats in Xumi. Being a forest ranger is now a very easy job. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to spare the time to serve as a teacher for these children."

Having personally experienced the changes in Xumi since Lin Feng took office, Tinari's heart was filled with indescribable subtle emotions.

"Well, since you're leaving soon, let's not talk about work for now. How about coming to my place to have a meal of mushroom stew after a long absence? Some of these mushrooms were newly discovered by me in the past two days. Apart from me, you may be the first one to eat them."

"——That's great. Let me tell you, your mushroom stew is amazing, Tinari. Even in the Lambad Tavern, I've never seen anything more delicious. Let's go quickly. I can't wait."

Having said this, Lin Feng paused and said mysteriously:

"——I'd like to remind you that I'm not the only one here, so don't blame me if I don't make enough food."

???

Facing the puzzled look of the fox-eared boy in front of him, Lin Feng put his arm around Tinari's shoulder and headed for the residence of the friendly ranger, just like he had just emerged from the rainforest a year ago.

After having a nice meal with Xiaobai and the three little ones and saying goodbye to Tinari who had a look of surprise on his face, Lin Feng came to the cave entrance in the southeast direction of Huachenggu.

Looking at the deep mine in front of me.

The young man took out the badge stored next to a hairpin, took a deep breath, and embarked on a journey with mixed feelings, not sure whether it could be called a "return home."

Chapter 126: The Ash-Burning Keqing

Liyue, the rocky abyss.

In front of a tent filled with debris, a purple-haired girl wearing a yellow and white helmet was talking to a middle-aged man opposite her.

The girl was dressed elegantly. She had long purple hair as bright as the sunset, smooth and shiny. The slightly curly light-colored hair ends gently fell to her waist, like dewdrops in the morning light, adding a bit of agility and mystery.

Although she was wearing a gorgeous purple and white dress, and the purple feathers and golden trim on her chest all showed her extraordinary status, the round miner's hat on her head broke this unattainable nobility and added a touch of approachability to the girl.

"Mu Ning, is this all the recent exploration report on the Layered Rock Abyss?"

"Did the Fatui advance team that cooperated with us provide any valuable intelligence?"

The girl put away the documents in her hand. It was obvious that she had sorted out these complicated clues in a short time.

"No, the underground environment of the Stratum Abyss is too complicated. Apart from the fact that the Lumen Stone proliferation area has expanded and the Sludge continues to spread, which we already know, they have not gained anything new."

Mu Ning, who had a small mustache, shook his head and answered the girl's question in the shortest words.

After he finished speaking, he paused, as if puzzled by the recent arrangements, and asked:

".Lady Keqing, I am not questioning the decision of the Seven Stars, but can these advance teams from Winter Solstice really help us solve the problem of the Layered Abyss?"

"The cause of the geological anomaly here is obviously not simple. Perhaps we can present it to Lord Yan during the subsequent Immortal Invitation Ceremony to see if he has any solution."

Thinking of the "wish stones" underground that would cause people to go insane with just the slightest touch, and the "black mud" that would attract monsters, Mu Ning felt that such major events as the suspension of production in the Layered Rock Abyss and the unemployment of countless miners would be better left to the decision of the Prince of Rock.

After hearing these words, Keqing just shook her head slightly and said solemnly:

"The Emperor knows everything. Faced with such a huge change, he has not issued any oracle so far."

"——Perhaps this is a test of whether we, the Seven Stars, have the ability to solve such a problem. If we don't even make our own efforts and only think about relying on the gods, then what is the value of our existence?"

"As for those advance teams, although I also think that Zhidong is untrustworthy, since it was Ningguang who made the decision, you should just provide them with the necessary supplies as agreed. As a contracted country, we cannot be the first to break the contract."

The girl finished her opinion and paused.

Seeing that Mu Ning opposite him had understood the meaning of his words, he planned to continue arranging the trivial matters in the mine.

For example, there are some less obvious issues such as expanding the reserves of grouper, controlling the rampant treasure-stealing weasels, and standardizing the wearing of safety helmets.

Even though she is only one of the Seven Stars, Keqing, who once mined in the Chasm, can better understand how difficult it is to work in a mining area, so she still cares a lot about the remaining staff.

"Boom——"

But just as she was about to speak, the noise of the elevator operating interrupted her.

Keqing and Mu Ning looked back and saw an armored soldier walking quickly from a distance along the track laid for the mine carts.

"Master Keqing, Chief Steward Mu Ning, hello, my lords."

Accompanied by the sound of armor rubbing against each other, the soldier stopped nearby, lowered his head slightly, and greeted Yuhengxing and the Commissioner of the General Affairs Department in front of him.

"Hmm? Mingyu?"

"I remember your team was stationed at the tunnel at Dansha Cliff. How did you get here? Is there any unexpected situation?"

Keqing looked at the young soldier in front of her and asked him about his motive for coming.

Cinnabar Cliff is not close to here. Generally speaking, if there is nothing important, the Thousand Rock Army stationed at the border of Liyue will not come to the entrance of Layer Rock.

Although the guard was somewhat flattered that Lord Yuhengxing remembered his name, he still stated the details straightforwardly:

"Lady Keqing, a few days ago, due to the blockade of the Layered Rock Chasm, the tunnel at Cinnabar Cliff has been suspended. Even those merchants who used to have permission to pass can no longer pass through there."

"It stands to reason that there are only people who want to pass through the Xumi direction. I shouldn't bother you with such matters."

The guard paused and explained why he was there.

"——But the young man who claimed to be a scholar from the Ministry of Education submitted a clearance document signed by the Sage Xumi himself, and he also held a token from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. This is somewhat in conflict with the 'Prohibition Order' received some time ago, so I have to ask the two adults to make the decision."

Having said that, Mingyu handed the file in his hand to Keqing.

"Here is his certificate, please have a look at it, sir."

"."

Keqing took the document and began to flip through it in front of the other person. Her focused look made the two people beside her hold their breath. Apart from the sound of flipping papers, the whole place seemed silent for a while.

"--no problem."

Keqing gave a reply.

"Let's not talk about the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's token for now. Even if it's just the clearance document given by the other party, it has already been approved by the General Affairs Department a few days ago. It just hasn't been submitted to the Layered Rock Abyss yet, so it can be released normally."

"Yes, sorry to bother you two adults, I will go back now."

Before Mingyu finished speaking, he heard the girl in front of him interrupt:

"No need to say goodbye, I'll go back with you—"

"I will be responsible for personally receiving this guest."

Ignoring the surprise on the faces of the two people beside her, Keqing led the Thousand Rock Army beside her with the highest efficiency and rushed to Cinnabar Cliff on the border of Liyue.

While on the road, Keqing began to recall the information she had about the visitor.

Ever since he submitted a proposal at the Seven Star Conference a few days ago to introduce the "fertile blessing" of Xumi and try to transform Guili's original land.

Although many people raised objections, believing that doing so would have no practical significance and would easily be controlled by Xumi.

But with the support of seven stars including "Tianquan Star" and "Tianshu Star", it was finally passed.

After that, the Xumi Teachings Institute submitted an application for clearance.

Although the purpose of this scholar's visit was not clearly stated, Keqing believed that he was most likely a field investigator sent by the Court of the Lords, and there was a high possibility that he would affect the final outcome of this cooperation.

Out of caution, she, as the "Yuheng Star", decided to receive the guest in person.

And the document just now also indirectly confirmed the accuracy of her guess.

——Ming Yu only knew the signature at the end of the document, which came from a "sage" from the Ministry of Education, one of the senior leaders of Xumi.

However, as she had recently conducted a detailed investigation on the national conditions of Xumi due to the cooperation, she must know that this "first sage" can be summarized as more than just a "senior leader".

——He was a genuine god, one of the rulers of Sumeru known as the "God of Authority".

A visit agreement can be approved personally by the gods, which shows the high academic level of this scholar who returned to Liyue from Xumi.
