Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

In any case, after receiving a new task from his superiors, Iwasaki Tadashi became busy once again.

First, let's look at light novel magazines.

Yae no Miko directly appointed him as deputy editor-in-chief in front of everyone at Yaedo, and explicitly stated that Iwasaki was to be in charge of Yaedo's new newspaper business, and also requested the cooperation of other editors.

This left the editors at Yaedo completely baffled.

However, even though I don't quite understand the business, as long as I know that this is someone the boss arranged to come in, he is most likely a rich kid from some family. Just be careful not to offend anyone.

After all, this is Inazuma Castle.

However, none of these people had experience in newspapers or magazines.

They're just light novel editors!

They could only crudely imitate the styles of publications like "Steambird News" and "Seven Kingdoms and Four Seas Bulletin" to create a "Light Novel Weekly".

The main task was to compile the titles, synopses, and some content of light novels, put them in newspapers, and then print them out.

Its positioning is very vague.

This is because it's equivalent to making readers pay to buy light novel recommendation lists.

The people at Yaedo were not very optimistic about this project.

But unexpectedly, Kujo Takayuki provided an assist.

He was closely monitoring the movements of Yae no Miko and Ayato Kamisato, and upon hearing that Yae-do had launched a new "Light Novel Weekly," he immediately had someone buy him a copy.

Upon closer inspection, nothing seemed amiss.

It was then thrown away.

Unfortunately, the scene of the loss was witnessed by a passerby.

The kind attendant even explained to passersby that it had been carefully reviewed by the Heavenly Commander.

As a result, the news that Lord Tenryo was subscribing to "Light Novel Weekly" spread throughout Inazuma Castle.

As is widely known, popular trends in society often follow the trends of important figures.

These seemingly plausible rumors often spread at an astonishing speed.

In addition, there is Yaedo's consistent commitment to quality assurance.

The next day, Light Novel Weekly became a huge hit.

Iwasaki and the other editors: ? ? ?

Yae no Miko: You all did a good job.

In short, in this rather muddled way, Light Novel Weekly became a huge success.

At least that's what it looks like now.

After summarizing his experiences, Iwasaki began preparing for his next mission:

Go to the Naganohara fireworks shop to seek a high-powered gunpowder formula.

To be honest, Iwasaki felt that this mission was more difficult than meeting Yae no Miko.

He had been in Inazuma Castle for several years and was quite familiar with the situation there. He had also dealt with Ryunosuke Naganohara several times.

Ryunosuke Naganohara was a peaceful man by nature. He changed various formulas and added various metals and minerals only to give fireworks different colors. He was obsessed with creating visual effects and was never interested in, and even opposed to, increasing the power of gunpowder and creating bigger explosions.

Therefore, it's unlikely that Ryunosuke would have high-powered gunpowder.

However, Ryunosuke's daughter, Naganohara Yomi-miya, is quite different from Ryunosuke.

Yoomiya not only loves dazzling fireworks, but also bigger explosions.

She hoped for a bigger explosion, producing larger and more dazzling fireworks, and creating a louder sound.

I heard that this child was sent to the beach by the fire brigade a little over a year ago for making explosives at a festival.

Therefore, high-powered gunpowder most likely had to be obtained from the Night Palace.

However, this is where the trouble lies.

He wasn't very familiar with Ryunosuke, and he had only met Yoshimiya once, without even exchanging greetings.

So, how should he bring it up?

He went straight up to a little girl he had only met once and said, "Uncle wants to buy a powerful gunpowder formula."

I'm afraid that the magistrate will treat him as some kind of sabotage element and send him to the magistrate's office on the spot.

Go steal?

Not a good idea. The higher-ups clearly intend to befriend him, and besides, he doesn't recognize the gunpowder formula, nor is he confident he can defeat such a dangerous person covered in explosives.

I heard that this little girl used to have the Eye of Fire, but I wonder if it was taken away.

In short, force won't work.

After much thought, he discovered another request in the letter:

Maintain a good working relationship with the company's management, and pay close attention to the siblings Ayato and Ayaka.

I got to know Ayato Kamisato through the editor-in-chief's introduction.

Ayaka Kamisato, this mysterious White Heron Princess, is someone I haven't met yet.

Tadashi Iwasaki did not believe that the White Heron Princess was merely an elegant and dignified vase, as the general public might have imagined.

If that were the case, the higher-ups wouldn't be paying so much attention.

Moreover, even if she is just a pretty face, she is a pretty face with a transcendent status and enormous influence.

So what could be a faster way to build a relationship than by taking action together?

These two things can be linked together and handled simultaneously.

The renowned White Heron Princess negotiated with the Naganohara family in the name of the company's magistrate.

With that in mind, he gave instructions for the follow-up work and headed to Kamisato House.

Led by a guard, Iwasaki successfully entered Ayato Kamisato's office.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Company Magistrate."

"It's Mr. Iwasaki. Welcome, welcome. I've heard that your Light Novel Weekly is selling very well."

"Not at all, it's just thanks to the kindness of the Heavenly Executioner."

At this point, both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Kujo Takayuki meticulously observed their every move, but in the end, he ended up providing them with a dowry, which ironically contributed to their success.

"To get back to the point, the reason I've taken the liberty of visiting you is that I hope to receive Miss Linghua's help."

"Hmm? Is there anything my younger sister can do to help?"

"It's a requirement from above, but I'm having some trouble with it."

Iwasaki briefly explained his mission and plans to Ayato Kamisato, but omitted the part about maintaining relations with the company magistrate and taking care of the two siblings.

Ayato Kamisato was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly agreed to the request.

He also wanted Ayaka to get some training.

However, for safety reasons, he still allowed Ayaka to bring a guard with her.

Thomas was also a long-time retainer of the Kamisato family.

On the way back to Inazuma Castle, Ayaka Kamisato, Tadashi Iwasaki, Thomas, and the others chatted quite enthusiastically.

Ayaka Kamisato was filled with curiosity about what was happening over there.

But to be honest, Iwasaki Masashi doesn't know the specifics of the situation either.

Since the nationwide lockdown order and the eye-hunting order were issued, Inazuma has changed a lot.

Taking advantage of this time, Iwasaki explained the specifics to Ayaka.

"I understand."

As if possessing a kind of magic, this egret princess exudes the air of a refined lady simply from her voice.

However, with swords on her back and armor on her body, Ayaka Kamisato is clearly not the kind of delicate young lady.

“Perfect timing. I’m an old acquaintance of Yoyomiya. We can use the pretext of the shrine’s fireworks reserves for the festival to make contact with Yoyomiya, and then I can explain the situation to him. That way, it won’t arouse suspicion.”

After returning to Inazuma Castle, the group headed straight for the Naganohara Fireworks Shop.

Ayaka Kamisato explained their purpose to Yoomiya.

"Ah, you want a more powerful gunpowder formula, hmm... let me think about it."

Xiaogong rummaged through a pile of recipes.

"Have it!"

"This is a new formula that I tested with Ms. Alice during the last festival. I guarantee it's powerful enough!"

Chapter 16 Alice's Big Gift: Three Yellows in Ten Consecutive Times?

Within Haigi Island.

After seeing off the editorial team that had undergone a few days of temporary training, Jiang Ming didn't have any free time.

Contact with the Southern Cross fleet is currently a major headache for Xin Hai.

Xin Hai also brought Jiang Ming and Wu Lang into the discussion.

After docking at the outlying islands, the Southern Cross fleet will unload foreign goods, but depending on the circumstances, it will also take away a batch of Inazuma's local products.

They're here to do trade, so naturally they'll try their best to avoid returning empty-handed.

Initial negotiations with the Southern Cross fleet will be conducted by staff stationed on the outlying islands, after which the Southern Cross fleet will depart from the outlying islands.

After that, you can either return directly to Liyue Harbor, or you can make another trip to Haiqi Island, trade between Inazuma Castle and Haiqi Island, and then return to Liyue.

It's believed that Beidou would not refuse this unexpected windfall.

The issue Jiang Ming and his group were discussing was how to contact the Southern Cross fleet and how to efficiently utilize this valuable external communication channel.
