Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Ningguang asked curiously.

"not at all."

"However, Lord Jiang Ming believes that our own strength is insufficient for continued development. Therefore, we have been ordered to come to Liyue to borrow the strength of other regions in Teyvat."

"Oh?"

Ningguang noticed that the other party was referring to other regions, not other countries.

This suggests that the other party's actions are mostly not led by the seven kingdoms.

If that's the case, is the collaboration with Liyue just for obtaining event funding?

"Mr. Yamagami, would it be convenient for you to elaborate?" Ningguang asked.

"That's fine."

In Hideki Yamagami's view, since they were going to cooperate with each other, there was no need to keep these things secret.

I can’t hide it either.

"Our goal is actually only one thing: to gather talent and technology from all over Teyvat and use them for our research needs."

Once my team has settled down in Liyue and found a suitable foothold, we will disperse and travel to various parts of Teyvat to recruit the talent we need.

Because Inazuma is still subject to the national isolation order, exchanges between the two places are extremely limited and opportunities for exchange are extremely precious. Therefore, it is difficult for us to obtain support from Umijima.

We've partnered with Liyue for three reasons: first, to establish a foothold outside of Haiqi Island; second, to secure sufficient funding; and third, to enhance our brand and facilitate our recruitment efforts.

As Hideo Yamagami gradually explained, Ningguang realized that his thoughts were becoming very clear.

Umijima wanted to develop its productive forces to resist the shogunate, but it was restricted by the isolation edict, was in the midst of war and chaos, and had limited land.

The lack of suitable talent and sufficient material resources, along with various unfavorable objective conditions, imposed limitations.

The Beidou fleet alone could not support the development of Haizhi Island.

Even if they had enough material resources, how many people would brave the storms caused by the isolationist policy to travel to Haiqi Island, a desolate and war-torn place?

This is even more dangerous than threading.

Therefore, the leaders of Haigi Island decided to establish an "enclave".

If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain.

They chose to conduct their research directly outside of Haegei Island.

In the end, only the results were allowed to return to Haiqi Island.

This is why Hideo Yamagami left Inazuma and went to Liyue.

Upon arriving in Liyue, Hideo Yamagami faced another problem: no money and no people.

This is why Hideo Yamagami chose to hold talks with Ningguang and cooperate with Liyue.

They participate in projects such as banking and infrastructure to obtain a portion of the profits, which supports the operation of Haizhidao's overseas system.

Then, they promoted their power system in Liyue.

There is no doubt that the power system centered on generators and motors is a groundbreaking and enormous innovation.

It could change the entire Teyvat.

Conversely, by leveraging the reputation of the power system, attracting talent is naturally not a problem.

This does not conflict with Liyue.

Liyue will reclaim its dominance in the financial sector from the Northern Bank and will also be the first to enter the so-called "Electrical Age," resulting in a massive explosion in productivity and taking Liyue's prosperity to a new level.

Haizhi Island gained a foothold for its overseas activities. By making a name for itself through the power system and receiving dividends from Mora, it was able to build its own overseas research system and achieve its fundamental goal of "technological breakthrough".

At least that seems to be the case with Ningguang based on the information available at present.

Collaborating with Liyue would be a win-win situation for both parties.

If that's the case...

"This is a matter of great importance. Would you mind, Mr. Yamagami, engaging in further discussions with the other members of the Seven Stars of Liyue?"

coming!

Hideo Yamagami was greatly encouraged.

He said that the extra seats weren't just left for empty seats.

For such a big matter, having the Seven Stars handle it would certainly provide greater assurance.

"Of course! If you Seven Stars are interested, please take a seat!"

Ningguang nodded, summoned Baiwen, and gave him a few simple instructions.

Baiwen turned and left.

While waiting, Ningguang began to discuss some details with Hideo Yamagami, and also started to touch on some changes in the situation in Inazuma.

As they chatted, Ningguang became quite curious about this person named Jiang Ming.

According to Beidou and Yamagami Hideo's descriptions, the other party was a Liyue merchant who was stranded in Inazuma after a period of hardship. He later went to Haige Island and gained the trust of Coral Palace's Xin Hai, a high-ranking official on Haige Island at the time.

From what she's learned over the past few days, the other person is indeed an outstanding individual.

Especially their works.

Although Jiang Ming was only a translator, it is remarkable that he was able to accurately translate such excellent knowledge.

It is enough to benefit one for a lifetime.

Moreover, he was a merchant in Liyue.

But this is a strange place.

It shouldn’t be!

She's in Liyue, how come she's never heard of this person before?

How could such an outstanding person remain unknown in Liyue?

When Beidou first returned, she asked Yelan to investigate, but even with Yelan's efficiency, no news has come back yet.

Weird.

Chapter 45 Faced with ample benefits, we possess the ability to operate flexibly.

During the conversation, Baiwen came to report that the other seven stars of Liyue would soon arrive at Qunyu Pavilion.

"Mr. Yamagami, please come along with me."

Ningguang extended an invitation to Hideo Yamakami.

Hideo Yamagami readily agreed.

The two, along with Baiwen, arrived at the open space in front of the Qunyu Pavilion.

Not long after, the other members of the Liyue Seven Stars, along with Gan Yu, ascended the Jade Pavilion.

"Mr. Yamagami, it's an honor to meet you!"

The first to come up was Tian Shu Xing, an elderly man with gray hair.

They were very enthusiastic and immediately took the initiative to shake hands with everyone on the mountain.

“I am Tian Shu, one of the seven stars of Liyue. You can call me Uncle Tian. It’s a pity that the situation is still a bit special right now. Otherwise, I think we could have a long talk with Mr. Shan Shang at Yujing Terrace.”

The people around him nodded in agreement.

"You flatter me. There's an old saying in Liyue: 'A mountain is not valued for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there.' I think that with you all here, everywhere is the same."

These words pleased the Seven Stars greatly.

No matter what position you hold, who doesn't like to hear nice words?

Tian Shu Xing explained to Yamagami Hideo why they went to Qunyu Pavilion to meet with him, instead of at Yujing Terrace.

Although Hideo Yamagami knew the reason from the beginning and didn't care about the issue, Shichisei's explanation showed that Shichisei valued them to some extent.

If you are not valued, Qixing will not bother with you, let alone personally go to Qunyu Pavilion.

Although this attention currently comes mostly from Ningguang, it will undoubtedly make their future activities smoother.

Strictly speaking, they are not official staff members of Inazuma.

They might even be wanted individuals by the Inazuma government.

Although Inazuma began to close its borders, the two sides did not directly announce a break in diplomatic relations.

Therefore, although the Inazuma embassy had actually withdrawn long ago, in theory, diplomatic relations between the two sides still existed.

The phrase "existing in name only" is perfectly apt to describe it.

Hideo Yamagami and his group's arrival in Liyue was no longer in accordance with protocol.

They were able to obtain the relevant certificates only because Ningguang put in a good word for them, and their cases were handled on a special basis.

As the office of the Seven Stars, the political center of Liyue, and the place where Liyue meets foreign envoys, it would be highly inappropriate for them to appear openly.

This is even more against procedure.

Of course, as the saying goes, rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

Compared to the Yamagami Hideo group, who could bring many tangible benefits, the already defunct diplomatic relations with Inazuma, and the Inazuma embassy whose whereabouts are unknown, can undoubtedly be put aside for now.

Faced with substantial profits, they can manipulate rigid procedures flexibly.

For example, even though Yamagami Hideo and his group cannot go to Yujingtai, the Seven Stars can meet at Qunyuge to discuss relevant matters.

Although I cannot go through the diplomatic process, I can bypass it.

This gave Hideo Yamagami confidence for his next move.

"Gentlemen, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk."

Ningguang stepped forward and began to lead the group of people outside into the reception room.

After everyone was seated, the meeting began to get down to business.

Ningguang explained to the other seven stars what she had thought of before, as well as what she had discussed with Hideo Yamakami.
