Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Page 117

"True Lord, there's no need to worry about that; those in heaven won't object."

Leaving aside the one who always looks up but dares not speak, the one who has been awake for a long time but still pretends to be asleep already says it all.

"Teyvat, I'm still in charge!"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun stared blankly at Zhong Gui, his domineering aura reminiscent of an emperor.

Liyue truly has worthy successors.

"That's confirmed, but when will there be anyone to follow suit?"

Zhong Gui: "I'm leaving now..."

Zhong Gui returned in a sorry state.

After Zhong Gui left, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun remained where he was and muttered to himself, "Damn it, I don't know where those two old geezers have gone. We're moving house and we still can't find them."

……

Zhong Gui strolled leisurely into Liyue Harbor.

"Cigarettes, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge~"

"Give me a bag of sunflower seeds!"

"Ok!"

Zhong Gui began his leisurely stroll, munching on sunflower seeds.

"Liyue Harbor has changed again."

The most obvious change is the presence of streetlights, and many shops have also installed LED lights, which have gradually become necessities in daily life.

It's clear that Rick must have made a lot of money; monopolizing daily necessities is very lucrative.

Moreover, with the major renovation of Liyue Harbor, most of the new things were sold by Rick.

Zhong Gui had already heard from Gan Yu that Qi Xing felt it was too much to give these packages to Rick for two years. That was no longer within Qi Xing's capabilities. If things continued like this for two years, the rest of Qi Xing might not be able to match Rick's combined strength.

Seven Stars' considerations are very reasonable; there are indeed signs in this regard.

Zhong Gui monopolized the profits, which is why he limited the time, but since he didn't know exactly how much money he could make, he gave him two years.

Although Qi Xing is a businessman, he doesn't understand these emerging technologies. At first, he thought that the two years given by Shao Jun was too short, but then...

Seven Stars: "Terrifying!"

It wasn't obvious at first, but from the moment Liyue Harbor was built, everyone who knew it was all Rick's business was astonished.

A frighteningly fast pace of development!

The construction of Liyue Harbor alone has already surpassed that of most merchants, even though it's not even halfway complete.

By the time it's really halfway done, it might be almost as big as the Seven Stars.

This is just Liyue Harbor. In the future, Guili Village will be built, not to mention Jueyun Karst, Tianqiu Valley, Dunyu Ruins, Lingju Pass, Qingxu Pool...

No, it can't be two years, that's too terrible!

And so, the petition signed by the seven stars was submitted to Gan Yu, the secretary of the seven stars.

Gan Yu handed over the shares to his secretary, Shubi, and the next day Rick went to Moonsea Pavilion and said he wanted to sell the shares to the Liyue General Affairs Department and hand them over to the state.

Zhong Gui didn't care about any of this, because as long as he was alive, they (aeeh) knew exactly what to do.

"How many workers did Rick mobilize for this construction?"

The entire Liyue Harbor is busy; could they have all been transferred here?

Not all of them came, but that's about it.

Keqing hadn't originally planned to send that many people, but after construction began, she discovered that much of the technology was unfamiliar.

Finally, she personally led a team over to begin learning and building simultaneously.

Otherwise, she was a little worried that the construction wouldn't be completed before the Lantern Festival.

What she said to Rick back then is now somewhat contradicting herself; it really can't be done with fewer people.

Zhong Gui was strolling down the street when he saw two figures, and those two figures also saw him.

Zhong Gui: "..."

Rick: "..."

Hubie: “…”

Good grief, my wife is working, and your wife is out shopping?

"Don't get excited!"

Rick quickly came out to explain, otherwise he was afraid he wouldn't be able to walk out of the street standing up.

"Advisor, Shubi isn't absent without leave; she's here to help plan the construction of Liyue Harbor!"

Human strength has its limits, while machine armor can sometimes be more convenient than humans.

While Shubi isn't the most suitable machine type for calculation, she's still far superior to humans.

She was loaned here to be used as a supercomputer for design.

"But what about Gan Yu?"

It's not like you can't do it, why do you have to use Hugh? Hugh should just be a secretary and help Gan Yu with her documents.

Rick: "..."

Rick said that Hugh was wasting time processing documents, and Gan Yu was capable of doing it herself; she could have helped design the new Liyue Harbor.

Most importantly, you can also walk around by yourself.

But can I say that? No!

If you say it, the person will be gone!

"Lord Gan Yu has agreed," Rick said in a humble voice.

Seeing the tense expressions on their faces, Zhong Gui pursed his lips. His wife was kind and easy to bully, and there was nothing he could do.

"Shubi, can you make a simple processor?"

"You mean computers and cell phones?" Huggie thought about what Rick had mentioned in the documents he brought home.

Zhong Gui nodded.

Hugh: "Hugh has already started making it. Sister Gan Yu has one."

She didn't leave just anywhere; she left something behind.

That was handcrafted by Shubi, so it's not widely available and hasn't been localized in Liyue.

"Think of a way, and once it becomes widespread, you'll be free and won't have to stay in the General Affairs Department anymore."

Rick's expression changed. "Advisor, are you going to fire Hugh?"

"Don't overthink it. Let Hughie work under you for research; that would suit her better."

Rick breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought Hugh had lost her job.

In his eyes, this was equivalent to Zhong Gui's protection, a symbol of his status.

"Get out of here, just looking at you makes me unhappy." Zhong Gui left unhappily.

Go find a wife!

Chapter 128 Rebirth Hall Return to Separation Branch (Under Construction)

Where is my wife?

Zhong Gui's consciousness spread outwards, the closest being at Yujingtai, where Gan Yu was.

As for Hu Tao and Shen He... they're doing a funeral for someone, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go find them, would it?

Since Shen He arrived, many people who need to handle matters have shown much more respect for the Hall of Rebirth.

Everyone probably thinks Shen He is an immortal in hiding, and then the immortal performs a ritual for them, which seems better no matter how you look at it - ah.

Zhong Gui left Liyue Harbor and arrived at a village of moderate size, where he squatted at the village entrance to wait for them.

Before long, the group returned from outside; they had already gotten out of bed and were ready to eat.

The usually mischievous Hu Tao was unusually serious at this moment, not even glancing at Zhong Gui, and led everyone to do things according to certain rules.

Shen He glanced at him, but didn't do anything, and continued walking with Hu Tao.

After everyone had walked past, Zhong Gui patted his behind and silently followed. Today was the day for the banquet.

The seats for the deceased were not with the others; they were in a separate and secluded place, and even those attending the banquet might not see them unless they turned a corner.

So Zhong Gui easily sat down, and no one noticed that there was an extra person.

"Where did you go? Your presence disappeared for a while," Hu Tao asked softly.

"They went to save lives."

"Heh~"

This wasn't the place to talk, and they didn't continue their conversation; instead, they ate in silence.
