Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Tsk.

They were so welcoming last time I came, but this time it's so quiet.

Yesterday she was a sweetheart, today she's become a bitter old hag.

Huh? Who is Mrs. Niu? Why did I suddenly think of her name?

Beidou shook his head, banishing these thoughts from his mind.

"Hello, Captain Beidou, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hello, Ms. Yinshan. As usual, the inventory list is here. Our staff will handle the moving. You can bring someone to check it in a moment."

"No need. We certainly trust Captain Beidou's reputation."

He waved, signaling the people on the dock to begin unloading the goods.

"Captain Beidou, this is your pass for this trip to and from the island."

Yinshan handed a note to Beidou.

"Oh?"

Ayato Kamisato isn't here today, so what does she need the pass for?

Seemingly noticing Beidou's confusion, Yinshan explained, "The two people beside you are here on the orders of the She Fengxing, to invite you to Wuyou Pavilion."

"Um……"

I hesitated for a moment before asking about the BeiDou pass.

He remembered Wen Chen and An Xin.

Logically, they should be safer staying on the ship now.

He had just promised them to follow his lead.

"How many people can this pass allow at most?"

"Generally, it is for single-person use only. However, Captain Hokuto, you are a distinguished guest of our Surveying and Surveying Commissioner and the Company Commissioner. If you need it, I can issue you a temporary certificate."

Yinshan realized that Beidou planned to take more people with him, so he readily agreed to do him a favor.

"Okay, then it's hard work."

Beidou nodded and thanked him.

Yinshan immediately took out paper and pen and issued a temporary permit for Beidou.

After saying goodbye to Beidou, he directed his men to move and register the goods.

After Yinshan left, the two lonely people beside him stepped forward.

Bow, perform a salute.

"Lord Hokuto, the Commissioner of the Society is currently very busy with official business and cannot come to greet you. Please forgive him. However, the Commissioner of the Society invites you to meet at Wuyou Pavilion at seven o'clock tonight."

"That's it..."

Busy with work?

"Okay, I understand. Please tell him that I will be there on time."

Beidou readily agreed and then returned to the Death Star.

Chongzuo, Wenchen, Anxin and the others immediately surrounded them.

"Boss, how's it going?"

"It feels kind of weird."

Hokuto frowned, watching the two magistrates leave, then glanced at Ms. Kageyama and the Kansei Magistrate's assistant who were busy at work.

"The people who came to liaise with us this time are of a much lower level than the last ones."

"Perhaps, the situation was special last time? The inspector of the Far Kingdom Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Investigation and Appraisal Commissioner is not of low rank. If we were docked at Liyue Harbor, we wouldn't even have this."

Wen Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"No, Inazuma's situation is special right now, so we can't talk about Liyue Harbor. The Kansei Envoy is treating us like a cash cow right now. You didn't see how enthusiastic Tong Shenjie was last time."

And... that kid Ayato Kamisato even asked me to go to Utsutei. He clearly wanted to meet me, but he didn't come to the dock like last time..."

Busy with official duties?

That's a ridiculous excuse.

How could a dignified Inatsuma Society administrator not be able to spare a moment to come to the dock?

The more Beidou thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Something might change.

Normally, she definitely wouldn't care about these things.

I don't care who it is.

This time, however, with Anxin's "ominous premonition," she began to be vigilant about everything.

"It seems that Ayato Kamisato has something to hide..."

"So, boss, what should we do?" Chongzuo stepped forward and asked.

"Alright, Wen Chen and An Xin, you two will come with me to Wuyou Pavilion tonight. Chong Zuo, tell the brothers to stay alert and not to sleep too soundly tonight."

"Yes, boss!" x3.

That evening, Beidou led Wenchen and Anxin to Wuyou Pavilion.

At this moment, the Wuyou Pavilion was empty except for the owner and his wife, clearly indicating that they were ready to welcome their distinguished guest.

Beidou casually found a seat, sat down, and ordered some food.

"Boss, has Inazuma been acting strangely lately?"

Although I didn't introduce them last time, I have a feeling that the owners of Wuyouting are probably not simple people.

Especially Okazaki Rikuto, the owner of Wuyouting, has a temperament that is somewhat similar to that of Uncle Tian.

Perhaps we can get some clues from the owner of Wuyouting.

"Hehe, how have you been lately, Inazuma? It's just that business is getting harder and harder."

Okazaki Rikuto only said this one sentence, and then calmly began to drink his sake.

"Is this so..."

Well, it seems we won't get any information.

It's already past seven o'clock, almost seven-thirty.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ayato Kamisato hurriedly entered the Utsu-tei.

isn't it?

Is he really that busy with official duties?

"You look so busy. Has Inatsume had a lot going on lately?"

"Indeed, Inazuma has been going through another turbulent time lately."

Ayato and Hokuto discussed the recent implementation of the second harvest by the Tenryo magistrate, and the resulting second economic crisis in Inazuma society.

“I’m trying to negotiate with them and minimize the damage they’ve caused. Can you believe it? Narukami Shrine has already started distributing relief food and providing disaster relief.”

Ayato Kamisato shook his head with a rather helpless expression.

For BeiDou, this undoubtedly broadened her horizons.

Given Inazuma's appalling state during her last visit, how could Tenryo Magistrate possibly manage to reap a second harvest?

Does the god of Inatsume really not care about anything?

"Oh, by the way, Captain Beidou, are you planning to go [over there] anytime soon?"

"Hmm? Of course I am. I came here with Ningguang and the others on a mission, so I have to go."

"That's it..."

Ayato Kamisato drawled out the sound.

"What, what's the problem?"

"No, but I hope Captain Beidou will stay calm and think things through when things happen."

"what?"

"This is, after all, a turbulent time."

"No, please explain in more detail!"

No matter how much Hokuto asked, Ayato Kamisato would change the subject and refuse to talk about it.

Damn it, that damned riddle-maker!

After leaving Uyu-tei and returning to the island, Hokuto immediately sought out Hisahito, the president of the Universal Merchant Guild.

The last time the Southern Cross fleet went on a shopping spree, it turned Beidou and this chairman into good friends.

The supplies procured by the Southern Cross fleet that came to the island this time were also purchased through the International Chamber of Commerce; they had just met that afternoon.

"Hey Lao Jiu, I've come to ask you something."

Hokuto banged loudly on the door of Hisasutoshi's residence.

"I'm coming!"

"Old man, besides the actions of the Tenryo magistrate, has anything else major happened recently, Inazuma?"

"Ok?"
