Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Why are you taking sides so early in the power struggle within the shogunate?

Ningguang is speechless.

In response, Beidou explained: "I have a general understanding of Inazuma's situation. The people in the Tenryo magistrate's office are really no good. The only people we can count on are the Kamisato family."

Ningguang still had some reservations about this, feeling that it was wrong to place a bet too early. Beidou even criticized her for being "too fussy and not straightforward at all."

...It's not you, Beidou, who's going to persuade the other seven stars and coordinate the forces of all parties in Liyue.

However, that was before.

Now that they realize the other party has a powerful backer and holds potentially enormous wealth, they need to change their approach.

This is combined with the Tianling Fengxing, which even Beidou looks down upon.

Ningguang did not believe that the Society's faction would lose at this moment.

Currently, opinions within the Seven Stars are not yet unified, and the Eight Gates cannot act on their own initiative. These people from Haiqi Island can only be temporarily housed in a local inn.

This made it easier for Ningguang to take the lead.

"It seems I must meet with them."

We need to find a way to take control of this hidden wealth.

If you want to take something, you must first give something.

A glint of light flashed in Ningguang's eyes.

Since those powerful families are pushing their luck so far, it might be a good option to use external forces to teach them a lesson.

Liyue must never again have people like she did when she was a child, barefoot and hawking their wares, suffering from hunger and cold.

She dared to say it, and she was determined to do it, and she would definitely do it.

Just because she is Tianquan Ningguang.

"Lord Ningguang, I have long admired your name."

"Mr. Yamagami, I have been quite busy these days and have not had time to entertain you all. I apologize for this and hope you will not take offense."

At an inn in Liyue Harbor, Ningguang held an informal meeting with Hideo Yamagami, the representative from Hyjal Island.

"By the way, regarding the issues concerning your activities in Liyue Harbor, I have instructed the General Affairs Department to address them immediately. I expect the relevant paperwork will be issued soon. Consider this a return gift to you."

Hideo Yamagami realized that Ningguang had already seen the previous gift.

He was just unsure of its exact value.

"You're too kind, Lady Ningguang. This is just a small gift, nothing special," Yamagami Hideo responded tentatively.

“I noticed that this seems to be an incomplete copy. Such a remarkable book would be priceless if it were a complete copy.”

It seems the people above were right; these two books are indeed quite valuable.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have moved the heart of the dignified Tianquan Ningguang.

So, the next step is to take advantage of this favorable situation.

"Whether it's the complete version or an incomplete version, what matters is how much of its potential can be realized. Is Lady Ningguang interested in cooperating with us?"

Ningguang was somewhat surprised by these words.

She thought the next line would be something like "a fine sword for a hero," but it turned out to be about cooperation?

"tell me the story?"

Chapter 38 North Sea, Think More

Hideo Yamagami smiled, took out a white, untitled book from his pocket, and placed it in the middle of the table.

"We will use the content here as capital to partner with you to open a bank."

"Oh?"

This caught Ningguang's attention.

"Like the Northern Bank?"

"More than that. It will be even stronger than the Northern Bank."

Hideo Yamagami denied the same claim made by the Hokkoku Bank.

"Although Liyue does not have the military forces that are spread throughout Teyvat like the Fatui, Liyue has a unique advantage in the financial field, which the Fatui cannot match."

Hideo Yamagami pointed to the book on the table.

"This book contains a wealth of knowledge related to economics and finance. Its second volume also includes complete content necessary for operating a bank. I believe that with Lord Ningguang's abilities, we can certainly make full use of its value."

Ningguang fell into deep thought as she looked at the white, untitled book on the table.

She doesn't assume the other person is exaggerating.

The previous book already proved that.

So the next question is...

"Tell me your terms?"

"It cannot be lower than 25%."

"Mr. Yamagami, I'm afraid that's difficult."

Ningguang shook her head and immediately rejected the idea.

"You must understand that the Northern Bank is well-funded and powerful. It is not something I can do alone to confront them head-on. I need to unite the strength of other parties in Liyue. Feeding them will come at a considerable cost."

"Then let's change the conditions. It can't be less than 15%, but our people must have equal management authority."

Subtracting 10% at once is enough.

Regarding the issue of percentage, the other party showed great sincerity.

Ningguang did a quick mental calculation: 15%, plus the portion she wanted to take, and the rest was enough to go around.

It's just management rights...

"This will likely provoke opposition from some people."

Ningguang shook her head again.

"If we unite all forces within Liyue, the bank we establish will undoubtedly become Liyue's official bank. Too much interference from outsiders might..."

"Lord Ningguang, this is precisely the problem that needs your help."

Hideo Yamagami noticed the change in Ningguang's language.

Clearly, a preliminary consensus has been reached on the issue of proportion, but Ningguang is unwilling to let them participate too much in management matters.

"We have already shown enough sincerity. We will leave these minor details to Lady Ningguang."

"Besides, this is just an informal meeting, isn't it?"

Ningguang stared at the nameless book on the table, silently pondering a decision.

What Hideo Yamagami meant was that the details could be discussed further.

However, she also needs to show some sincerity.

So……

"Then, I would like to ask Mr. Yamagami Hideo to visit the Qunyu Pavilion on another day to discuss this matter further."

Hideo Yamagami's lips curled up slightly.

"It is my great honor. Please accept these words of advice, Lady Ningguang."

He moved slightly, pushing the nameless book on the table from its central position to a spot closer to Ningguang.

"Before that, Lady Ningguang might as well take a look at the contents of this book."

Ningguang smiled slightly and put the book in her pocket.

"Of course. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Ningguang stood up and reached out her hand to Yamagami Hideo.

"Pleasant to work with."

Hideo Yamagami, too, clasped his hands together.

Ningguang then got up and left.

Hideo Yamagami accompanied him the whole way. Along the way, the two had drifted off from their usual routine and started chatting about the recent situation in Liyue.

Ningguang recommended many good restaurants in Liyue.

When Hideo Yamagami returned to the inn, the group members had already gathered in the living room.

Fortunately, Ningguang arranged a room that wasn't too cramped.

"Team leader, how is it going?"

Looking at the pairs of bright, sparkling eyes around him, Hideo Yamagami finally felt a rare moment of relaxation.

For the past few days, they have been staying in the inn. Due to the lack of the necessary documents, their movement has been restricted, and there has been no progress on the tasks assigned to them.

They were in a real panic.

Finally, we've made a breakthrough!

"We have reached a preliminary consensus with Ningguang of Tianquan in Liyue. I will soon head to the Jade Pavilion for further formal talks with Ningguang. In addition, Ningguang has already resolved our identity issues, and we will soon be able to move freely."

"Really?"

"real!"
