Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Young Master: "He's gone too far. Seeing that this old guy who died thousands of years ago has actually reappeared, how am I supposed to seize the Heart of God now?"

The young master was so frustrated!

These past few days he's searched high and low for the Immortal Ancestor's remains, but to no avail. There's been no news from the Traveler's side either. He wanted to ask Zhongli to push the clues forward, but there's no one there either. He wanted to ask Su Chen to try and get in touch with the immortals, but still no one there.

Not only that, but now even the Human Emperor has appeared. What if the other party is not really dead and ascends the throne with the Heart of the Rock God? Wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

But the young master really couldn't think of any other way, and seeing that time was running out, he was very anxious.

Just as he had withdrawn funds from the Northern Bank and was preparing to see if he could bribe a few people within Liyue to find out the location of the Immortal Ancestor's physical remains, he was suddenly stopped by a figure.

"Wow! Young master, I see your face is dark, you might be in for some bloodshed! But just in time for a big promotion at the Rebirth Hall, buy one get one free, buy two get three free, would you like to reserve our service?"

"???"

The young master was genuinely taken aback when he saw the energetic girl in front of him.

Where did this guy just appear from? How come he didn't even notice?

Huh? Wait, the Hall of Rebirth?

"Funeral services?" The young master was bewildered.

"Yes, how about it, boss? Want to consider it?" Hu Tao said with a smile. "Trust me, I'm good at judging people. You're definitely going to have a bloody disaster. It's better to be prepared than not. Our shop also offers a recycling service. As long as the time comes, we'll collect your body no matter where it is!"

"No thanks, I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

The young master waved his hand. He enjoyed the experience of fighting on the edge of a knife, pursuing the ultimate challenge and breakthrough. He had long seen through life and death. He killed people, and people killed him. He became stronger in battle and crisis. He left life and death to fate.

Besides, he's already dead. What difference does it make where he died or whether there's a funeral? He doesn't know anyway.

"Huh? Wait."

Suddenly, the young master had a flash of inspiration.

"Can you hold a funeral for someone else?"

Hu Tao nodded: "Of course, we can handle anything, even dead people."

"What about the dead god?"

"?"

Now it was Walnut's turn to ask a question.

Hey bro, what's wrong with you?

How could humans possibly give to God...? Well, it's not impossible though!!!

Hu Tao's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became more and more excited as she thought about it. Since the establishment of the Wangsheng Hall, it has never held a funeral for a god. Not to mention gods, even ordinary immortals would not be able to have their own funeral rites.

But right now, Liyue is in chaos and has no time to spare, so perhaps... maybe... this is an opportunity?

"Who are you?" Hu Tao asked.

She needed to figure out the young master's identity. After all, someone who could propose holding a funeral for a god was definitely not an ordinary person. And after that, she would have to find a way to obtain the qualifications to hold the funeral. If the other party was out of luck, then she certainly couldn't do it with her own abilities.

"I am Young Master."

"Oh, young master."

"Not that young master, but young master, that's my name."

The prince tried to explain to the people of Liyue in a language they could understand.

Hu Tao said "Oh," and understood. Someone with a perverse sense of humor would actually choose such a name.

"So you want to hold a funeral for the Emperor? But you don't have the right, and neither does the Hall of Rebirth. Can you persuade Seven Stars?" Hu Tao asked.

"I can't, but my friend should be able to."

The young master thought of Zhongli. Mr. Zhongli is knowledgeable and well-connected, so he should have a solution. If Zhongli can't do it, there's Su Chen. With the latter's relationship with Ningguang, he might succeed.

Isn't this more likely to succeed than him bribing Liyue officials with money?

He suddenly realized that Li Yue's saying, "Having many friends makes things easier," was absolutely true.

"Here you go, this is the deposit!"

The young master generously stuffed one million Mora into Walnut's hand.

"I'll make the reservation first, and you can let me know how much funding is needed once things are settled!"

Hu Tao weighed the Mora in her hand; it was heavy. Wow, a big client! So she gave a thumbs up: "Leave it to me!"

...

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

after one day.

Liyue Harbor, on the bridge west of Tiger Rock.

Three figures, consisting of two people and one beast, walked out from Tianheng Mountain.

Because of its strange beast-like appearance, it attracted a lot of attention along the way.

"Rodha, you look quite good."

Looking at the little boy following beside him, Su Chen joked, "Who would have thought that you were the once-famous Liyue Dragon King?"

By this time, Ruoduo had grown to about the size of a dog, and its shuffling gait was quite adorable.

Even so, though his body has shrunk, his aura remains. Didn't you see that Big Yellow was already trembling as soon as it saw Tuozi from afar?

"Before you talk about me, take a look at the two of you," Ruo Tuo said in a deep voice. "A human emperor and a rock king, and you can't even scrape together a single Mora."

"Uh..."

Su Chen looked embarrassed.

He really doesn't have the habit of carrying money, especially after simulating the old man of the Luo family. To put it in a classic way, "I'm not interested in money."

The thousand Mora I had was from when I was planning to buy something for Ying but forgot about it. As for bills, I can just send them to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce.

“From a generally rational perspective, there is still one Mora,” Zhongli said.

After saying that, he added another sentence.

"Liyue is a trading city. Trade doesn't necessarily involve Mora; it can also involve items worth one Mora."

Even a single hair plucked from his body could be worth a mora.

"You speak with such confidence. Although I am not human, I think humans definitely don't like to negotiate with you." Ruoduo's intelligence had been awakened by Su Chen, allowing him to understand humans, so he knew the significance of Mora to them.

It's not that most people want Mora; it's just that most people don't have such lofty meanings or ideals. They only know that with Mora they can buy things and survive.

Zhongli did not contend with him.

Su Chen smiled as well.

The three of them walked across the bridge and entered the area around Chihu Rock.

A sound came from the teahouse.

"...As mentioned in the previous chapter, at that time, Liyue was plagued by a great demon in the sea and a vicious dragon dwelling in the mountains."

"The Rock King Emperor summoned all the immortals, wanting to restore a bright and clear world to the world."

Legend has it that when the Emperor went to war, he said...

"Three bowls and you're out of the harbor, storyteller."

As order gradually returned to Liyue Harbor, some shops reopened. Places like teahouses were particularly popular, as many people came to listen to storytelling after the passing of the Emperor.

Su Chen turned his head and asked, "So what exactly did you say back then?"

"Um..."

Zhongli couldn't remember.

He's said so many things.

“I need to go back,” Zhongli said.

He was referring to the Hall of Rebirth. Although he often did this kind of thing, he still wanted to let Hu Tao know he was safe and sound, so as not to worry her.

Su Chen also had to go back to the embassy, ​​so the two separated temporarily. Ruo Tuo, considering Su Chen's health, stayed by his side.

Inside the embassy.

The Mondstadt delegation members were chatting when they saw him return and immediately went to greet him.

"Lord Su Chen, you're finally back! We've been worried something had happened to you since we last saw you!"

"I went out to take a look at the land of Liyue." Su Chen smiled slightly. "Sorry I didn't tell you beforehand."

"That's alright, but Lord Su Chen, you don't look too well. Are you alright?"

"I'm a little tired, but it's nothing serious."

"That's good, that's good... By the way, I received a letter from the Knights yesterday, it was from Miss Lisa."

A messenger took out an envelope printed with purple roses.

Su Chen opened it and saw that the contents were about the matter of the Order Institute looking for him, which he had mentioned earlier. After Lisa inquired through various channels, it seemed to be related to an important research project.

Lisa mentioned that the Fools appeared in Sumeru, which seemed to indicate that an executor had contact with the Great Sage.

Seeing this, Su Chen knew what the Order of Teachings was up to.

Although the Traveler hasn't gone to Inazuma yet, it's likely that the Doctor has already colluded with the Order of the Church and is planning to create a god in advance.

The technology and materials required to create a god must be considerable, and as a sage, Su Chen possesses the knowledge they need.

Unfortunately, Su Chen had no interest in creating any gods.

Besides that, there were some greetings from Daiqin, telling him that everything was going well in Mondstadt and that under the protection of the wind god Barbatos, everything was proceeding smoothly.

As for the need for supplies, Su Chen had already sent a letter back, and Qin had no objection to his suggestion. As long as the price was fair, it didn't matter whether they traded with Seven Stars or other merchant guilds.

That's it.

Su Chen smiled. This back and forth would earn him two billion yuan even if left unattended.

That's why he said he wasn't interested in money. Ultimately, it's because making money is too easy.

Well, I've taken a lot of money from the Luo family during this period, so I guess this is some compensation for them.
