Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

—How could they just be partners?

—We are clearly family.

—Always family!

—So, Mu Xian...younger brother...

—I will definitely bring you back.

—Absolutely! Absolutely!

Ningguang said many things in her heart that day.

That night, she went to see the man with the deep eyes again.

At that time, she already knew that he was the god of Liyue.

Geo Archon, the God of Contracts and the Geo Lord of Liyue.

The next day, Ningguang pulled the cart and left Liyue Harbor.

This time it was still Mingyun Town, but when we returned, the car was no longer empty, but filled with freshly mined ore.

That day, the Emperor taught Ningguang many things.

Just like...

Goods from Liyue Harbor can be sold in Mingyun Town, and goods from Mingyun Town can certainly be sold in Liyue Harbor.

The rarer something is, the higher the price it will fetch in that place.

For example, the various trinkets needed in Mingyun Town, and the ores needed in Liyue Harbor.

Prosperity doesn't mean it needs everything.

A shrewd businessman can tell what can fetch a good price in a particular place.

By leveraging these products that sell for a good price, you can capitalize on this opportunity to gain more profit.

This is what is meant by "hoarding a rare commodity".

Chapter 192 Family 6

It felt like going back to the old days.

But unlike before when she only thought about filling her stomach, Ningguang now had a goal in mind.

This goal made Ningguang forget about time and the coldness of the alley.

At that time, the only thing Ningguang remembered was that Mu Xian was doing very well at the Guhua Sect.

The first time Ningguang secretly went to see him, she was still wearing those tattered clothes, and her bare feet seemed to feel the coolness inside the stone.

Fortunately, Ningguang saw that he wasn't being bullied there; his fellow disciples were all very kind people.

Ningguang felt a soreness in her nose that day.

She discovered that Mu Xian could live a good life even without her.

The second time, Ningguang changed into a clean set of clothes and put on very unsuitable shoes with her bare feet.

Although Ningguang would be more comfortable barefoot, wearing shoes is a matter of attitude and etiquette towards clients...

Ningguang had already left the alley by then, but every time she walked into the alley, she would stare at it in a daze from time to time.

As her business grew, Ningguang, overwhelmed with work, began to gather a group of people to manage her business.

It was around that time that Ningguang met three people: Baiwen, Baishi, and Baixiao.

Ningguang was wearing the beautiful clothes she had dreamed of as a child.

Just like the old woman in Liyue said, once you grow up, you will naturally have this beautiful outfit.

But she didn't say how much effort she had to put in to get this outfit.

Furthermore, she didn't tell Ningguang how much effort she would need to put in after wearing this dress.

That year, during the ceremony to invite the immortals, Ningguang was no longer the little girl who had to squeeze through the crowd to see the Emperor.

As a rising star in the business world in recent years, Ningguang was invited to become one of the members of the Immortal Invocation Ceremony.

Although it was just in that very corner, Ningguang learned for the first time that the title needed to be followed by "sir".

For example... Lady Ningguang.

Ningguang looked at the crowd below in a daze, each person's eyes filled with reverence for the person on the stage.

In just one year...

They seem to have forgotten that one of the people they revered was once just a "bastard."

A child who squeezed into the crowd was called an "ill-mannered" bastard...

Is it enjoyable?

Ningguang did not...

The Emperor once said: The happiest time in life is not when you are triumphant, but when you are triumphant and there is someone to share your joy.

Ningguang noticed a strange expression on the Emperor's face when he said those words.

Ningguang didn't know what that expression looked like at that time.

But Ningguang thought that she herself must have the same expression as the Emperor right now.

Ningguang looked at everyone around her, and their smiles were nowhere near as beautiful as Mu Xian's.

Although she seemed kind and approachable...

In reality, they were just some "amiable" opponents.

Among these opponents, Ningguang also saw the purple-haired girl from before, who was also attending the ceremony.

However, unlike Ningguang, she participated in the Summoning Ceremony as the heir of a well-known family in Liyue.

At this point, she no longer had the arrogant and willful attitude she once had; at such a young age, she exuded an exceptionally clean and efficient demeanor.

But that didn't stop Ningguang from finding her an eyesore...

During the ceremony, she spoke eloquently, saying that Liyue is a country full of opportunities, where as long as you work hard, you can stand out and make Liyue better.

—This is really...

—Such a refined and elegant speech...

Ningguang chuckled at Ningguang's predictably naive remark.

Despite being a young lady from a prominent family, she always thought of herself as an ordinary citizen of Liyue.

I always thought I knew what life was really like for the people at the bottom of Liyue Harbor.

Even though she had never lived that kind of life, she always assumed that the children lying in the alleys just ate and slept.

She had no idea that those children had exhausted all their strength just to get food.

She never knew that the reason the children didn't leave the alley was because they would be driven away by the Thousand Rock Army if they went onto the street...

Amidst the applause, Ningguang was surprised to find that this young lady from a prominent family named Keqing had specifically mentioned her.

He even claimed that he started from scratch and was a role model for everyone in Liyue.

model?

In recent years, Ningguang has only felt that she has become much more selfish.

At least, he could coldly watch those children, like "little clouds," starve to death in front of him.

Ningguang knew that she would never find another "younger brother or sister" on the roadside again.

Now my only...

Ningguang forced a fake smile all day during the ceremony.

After that day, she noticed that her smile was different too.

For example, Mu Xian's beautiful smile.

For example, my own smile... it's truly nauseating...

After that day, Ningguang stopped laughing easily and began to busy herself with the matter of vying for Tianquan Star.

Ningguang knew at that time that she was not strong enough to become a Tianquan Star, and did not even have the qualifications to run for Tianquan Star.

So at that time, Ningguang only needed to do one thing well—acquire industries.

Ningguang's first target was the homeless boy with whom she had a grudge.

The vengeful Ningguang used some means to destroy the other people's trust in the boy, and took over his years of hard work without bloodshed.

Since then, Ningguang heard that he went to see the Emperor, but she didn't know what they talked about.

In the end, the boy left Liyue Harbor, and no one knows where he went.

With the experience gained the first time, Ningguang's power quickly grew.

It is often said that business warfare is a war without gunpowder, and that is certainly true.

Because war is accompanied by the death of individuals, while business warfare is accompanied by the separation of families.

Husband abandons wife...

Wife abandons child...

A child starved to death on the street...

Ningguang has been soft-hearted and left room for maneuver before.
