Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Mora, who was building the Imperial Guard, already had a plan in mind.

Exploiting the people is the worst possible strategy.

Earning Mora from foreigners is the best strategy.

Mondstadt boasts a thriving wine industry, Inazuma is famous for its weapons, and Liyue possesses the mineral veins of the Lava Abyss—all are highly profitable resources.

So what is Mount Sumeru?

Rainforest, desert.

Are we going to sell timber and sand?

No, those are the resources of the old Sumeru. The new Sumeru doesn't need these industries that don't make big money and damage the ecological environment.

Growing grain is the only way out for Xumi's future.

In the past, Lu Sheng would have thought he was crazy. Sumeru is full of rainforests and deserts, what kind of food would he be able to get?

But now the situation is different. Grass Dragon Apep has been liberated, and she can turn the barren desert into a lush oasis.

In this way, Mount Sumeru will have an additional fertile plain.

Moreover, under Appepp's guidance, the growth rate of grain will also experience a qualitative leap.

Before long, Sumeru will transform from a grain importer into the largest grain exporter.

Countries like Inazuma, Todoroki, and Fontaine, which are unable to produce food due to environmental and political issues, have no choice but to obediently send Mora to Mount Meru.

And that's how the money comes in.

Even though this is tantamount to competing with Mondstadt and Liyue for jobs, so what?

Zhongli, that old man, should have been rolling in gold coins long ago.

Heh heh heh! Once the Imperial Guard is established, how could the Thousand Rock Army of Liyue possibly be a match for my Imperial Army?

What is there to fear from an agricultural superpower with a strong military?

Soon after, the great Mushroom King summoned the sages of the six major schools and formulated two new national policies.

First, all agricultural experts from the Academy of Educational Affairs were required to participate in the Western Development Strategy, going to the grassroots level and to the places where the country needed them.

Secondly, the thirty-man group was reorganized, splitting into two: the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Royal Guard. The size of the army was increased, and Grand Disciplinarian Seno was promoted to Supreme Commander of the Imperial Guard, responsible for eliminating thieves and bandits within the territory of Sumeru, laying the groundwork for the western development. The commander of the Imperial Royal Guard was temporarily held by the Great Sage Elhesen.

The news caused a nationwide uproar.

The happiest people were none other than the residents who originally lived in the desert region.

They went from being lowly people abandoned by the grass god, orphans who couldn't even afford to read, to becoming the original inhabitants of the developed area.

How exciting it is for a desert rat to transform into a sand god!

The region's faith level increases by 100%, and loyalty increases by 100%.

Anyone with a brain can see that the Mushroom King is a ruler who truly gets things done.

The great Hagi Mushroom King will surely make Sumeru great again!

In comparison, what kind of miserable life did the people of Sumeru live for the past five hundred years!

The gold content of Little Lucky Grass King is still declining.

Having settled the domestic route issues, Lu Sheng went to the desert to find Apep and asked her to transform the desert into an oasis.

Although Apep was unwilling to do this for the sake of humanity, he agreed out of consideration for Rikuo.

However, she was only willing to transform the desert south of the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land; the remaining part was to be reserved as her and her people's territory.

The two parties quickly reached a deal, and the era of large-scale farming in Xumi began.

Sumeru Chapter: Chapter 127: Experiment Successful, Stargazer Theory Established!

Under the guidance of the Mushroom King, the people of Sumeru were quickly mobilized.

With the help of the Void Terminal, personnel scheduling and collaboration become extremely convenient, and the efficiency is visibly much higher than that of people without the Void Terminal.

The entire country is like an anthill, becoming extremely united and efficient under the influence of the Mushroom King's pheromones.

In just over a month, large tracts of neat farmland appeared on the once barren desert.

Anything that hinders farming is considered going against the Mushroom King.

The relics preserved by the Red Dynasty, such as temples and royal tombs, were all bulldozed.

The wealth buried beneath the yellow sand flowed back into Mount Sumeru, transforming into the initial capital for its large-scale development.

Moreover, under the deterrent effect of the virtual terminal, even those who embezzle funds face significant risks.

Lu Sheng has always been willing to unleash divine punishment in the most terrible way for those who hinder him from earning Mora or dare to covet his money.

It's all my money!!!

Sometimes you have to admire the wisdom of our ancestors.

After several rounds of the "Nine Clans Elimination Game," corruption was basically eradicated, and this deterrent effect will continue as long as the Mushroom King is alive.

While the large-scale desert development is in full swing, Mona's experiment is also making new progress.

As Lisa had initially agreed, Mona was assigned to the Chancellery as a tutor of the Ming school.

At first, many people were unconvinced by a young girl who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, believing that she must have used some dirty tricks to get the position of mentor.

But after several academic debates, all the astrologers of the Ming School were convinced of Mona's abilities and stopped gossiping.

Mona's title as the strongest astrologer of our time is no exaggeration.

Even Laila became Mona's little fangirl, following her around all day asking her all sorts of questions.

In just one month, Laila learned more than she had in the past few years at the Order of the Fathers.

Early that morning, the poor girl, who had just fallen asleep, rushed to the Order of the Monastery with dark circles under her eyes, without even having time to tie her hair up.

As soon as Laiira entered the office, she heard Mona excitedly talking to herself in front of a mirror.

"Hmph! I finally succeeded! I'm truly worthy of being called a legend!"

Laila leaned closer and asked curiously, "Mona... what's this?"

"This is a stargazing telescope I invented. It can magnify my line of sight, allowing me to observe the viewpoints of other people in the starry sky."

Mona smiled mysteriously and continued, "Do you remember the stargazer theory we discussed before?"

Laila nodded. "I remember, we even tried it, but finding other people's gaze in the starry sky is too difficult, it's like finding two identical grains of sand in the ocean, it's almost impossible."

"With me, Mona, here, nothing is impossible!"

Mona proudly introduced her new invention: "The reason our previous experiments failed was because the angle of observation was not right. Now, with this mirror, we can observe a large area of ​​the starry sky at once!"

Laila's eyes widened. "Really? That's wonderful! If we can prove that the Stargazer Theory really exists... our new paper will definitely cause a sensation in the entire astrological world!"

“It’s not that simple~” Mona said, hands on her hips, pointing a finger at Laila’s point of view. “If the experiment succeeds, after the paper is published, our names will be forever recorded in the history of astrology, becoming two towering mountains that future generations will find difficult to surpass.”

Which two mountains?

At this moment, Lisa, who had also received the news, came to the door and heard the conversation coming from inside, and asked a question.

"Oh, Lisa's here too! Come see my new invention!"

Mona patiently explained the function of the stargazing telescope to Lisa.

Lisa was delighted to learn about the purpose of the stargazing telescope, and not just because of Mona's success.

If the stargazer theory is indeed realized, then Little Cutie's troubles will be easily solved.

"Congratulations, Mona! You've only been at the Faculty for such a short time and you're already about to reach a peak that no one has ever reached before. You'll definitely be recorded in history."

Mona, who was being praised to the skies by Lisa, chuckled and scratched her head. "Don't get too excited yet. The experiment isn't finished yet. If it fails in the end, we'll make a fool of ourselves."

Laila: "I believe we will succeed! Even if we fail, we must not be discouraged, because failure is the mother of success!"

"Okay! I'll start debugging now, and we'll conduct the second experiment tonight!"

Time flew by and evening arrived.

Mona, Lisa, Laila, and their biggest benefactor Lu Sheng arrived at the highest peak outside Sumeru City.

Tonight is perfectly clear, with not a cloud in the sky, and the brilliant stars are clearly visible.

Mona was very satisfied with the weather conditions tonight.

She installed the stargazing telescope on the mountaintop, and after a few adjustments, everything was ready.

"We're still missing one test subject."

Mona looked at Lisa and Lu Sheng.

"Hey? Mr. Avatar, where did your beard go?"

"I shaved it off because it was too much trouble."

"Wow! You're so young!" Mona exclaimed in disbelief. "I thought you were at least in your forties! You look so much more handsome without your beard."

It must be said that Mr. Avatar, after shaving his beard, is quite handsome.

Faced with the praise, Lu Sheng revealed a smug smile.

Lisa sensed a hint of danger and said abruptly, "It's better for men to be of average appearance, so they won't be philandering."

Mona continued, "I need someone to be observed now. Which of you two would like to be that lucky one?"

"Let me do it."

Lisa stepped forward. She knew that Lu Sheng was from another world and was not affected by astrology. She was the only one left here.

“Okay.” Mona nodded and looked at Laila. “Laila, you will perform a divination on Sister Lisa in a moment. I will use the stargazing mirror to capture your gaze.”

"Ok."

Laila agreed, and the experiment officially began.

Under this dazzling starry sky, Laiira sat down on the ground, took out her astrological crystal ball from her bag, and looked up at the starry sky.

"O starry sky, which reveals the fate of all things, please guide me and let me see the destiny trajectory of the blade called Lisa Mintz!"

After another string of incantations, the crystal ball began to emit a faint, starlight-like glow.
