Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Time passed day by day, and Liyue remained peaceful.

The Witches' Guild no longer dares or will not challenge Liyue.

Lu Sheng has been so bored these past few days that he's almost driven crazy. With his personality, he'd be quite restless if he didn't stir up some trouble. However, considering that he now has a new identity, it's best to keep a low profile.

He devoted all his energy to taking care of the Cave Heaven Pot.

After several days and nights of continuous construction, a small building in the Liyue style quietly rose in the pot, complete with a backyard. It was planted with bamboo and flowers, and had some fish and cats. When there was nothing to do, people would play with Paimon in the pavilion in the yard.

Like a fleeting dream, I am carefree and at ease.

This is all thanks to the 24/7 Minion construction team under my command.

They don't need to eat or be paid. They work hard without complaint. If any of them break down, they're simply discarded. Just add some water and mud, and they become a new source of labor.

If you ask me, Rhein-Dortmund just has a narrow vision.

If she had made good use of the knowledge gained from this golden creation, Kanria would have achieved the great unity of the world's people long ago. The freed-up workforce could have all gone into scientific research. Not to mention five hundred years, at the latest three hundred years, the Teyvats would have been able to break through the false heavens and complete their racial evolution.

Why do you have to be so fixated on that abyss of yours?

Greedy people never have a good ending.

"Master master!"

Lu Sheng was lying in the courtyard petting the cat when Paimon suddenly came running over in a flurry, carrying an AK and proudly shouting like a child wanting to show off to an adult: "Let me show you my latest honed skills!"

As he spoke, Paimon pointed to a target a hundred meters away.

At this distance, Lu Sheng had to squint to see the rings on the target.

Snapped!

Before Lu Sheng could even see clearly, Paimon raised his hand and fired a shot.

A hole had suddenly appeared in the very center of the target.

"You fucking opened it?"

incredible!

In less than seven days, he went from being an emergency food enthusiast who had just come into contact with firearms to a sharpshooter who could hit the bullseye every time.

Could Hakimon really be a genius?

I don't even want to think about sending her a sniper rifle someday.

"Hehe! Pretty impressive, huh? I can completely control this body now!"

"Brilliant!"

Lu Sheng gave Paimon a thumbs-up in praise.

What else can I say? This is truly amazing.

Paimon immediately demanded an exorbitant amount: "Then I want a hundred sugar slimes!"

"You want another hundred? I prepared a month's worth of food, and you used it all up in seven days! We're about to set off for Inazuma, and we'll be at sea for more than half a month. I need to stockpile two months' worth of food for you!"

"Master is going to buy food? Paimon, you're going too!"

"You're not allowed to go!" Lu Sheng refused sternly. "If you go, even a million dollars won't be enough to cover the cost."

However, Paimon insisted on going.

The mainland student had no choice but to resort to psychological manipulation (PUA).

"Listen to me, you take the Minions over there and claim two plots of land. Cultivate one plot to grow sugarcane and make sugar, and fence off the other to raise slimes. Then you can have as many sugar slimes as you want, until you're sick of them."

When these words reached Paimon's ears, her eyes immediately glazed over.

It's as if I can already see myself lying on a mountain of slimes, diving in and swimming freely inside.

Paimon immediately became very motivated and led the construction team to clear the land.

Lu Sheng left Chen Ge Hu and went to Chi Hu Yan, where the prices were the cheapest, to purchase supplies.

He had already made all the necessary preparations to go to Inazuma these past few days.

He knew the woman had left; there was no need to say more. According to the original plot, she had gone to her death.

But the heart of God will still fall into the hands of fools.

I have already traveled to both countries, but I haven't obtained a single Heart of God. I must get my hands on Inazuma no matter what.

My wind and rock skills are now quite strong.

Especially for wind-type characters, after draining the Xiao's energy bar, the experience bar has already reached its limit. After consuming a few more wind-type God's Eyes or killing a few powerful wind-type monsters, they can unlock level 9 skills.

As for unlocking level 10 skills, based on my experience with the system over the past few days, this system will definitely try to hold me back.

Either you need the Eye of God, or you're stuck on the overall level requirement; in short, it won't be easy to get.

Therefore, Lu Sheng no longer had an attitude of "if I have it, I have it; if I don't, I don't" towards the Heart of God, but rather he felt he had to obtain it.

As for the power of the level 10 skill, Lu Sheng felt it would be no less than that of the Seven Gods.

Once all the level 10 skills of all elements are unlocked, that's probably what's called—the perfect god!

It should be comparable to Nibelungen, the Dragon King at his peak.

Finally, add the unknown multiplier from the Abyss, Paimon's time-based skills, and forbidden knowledge.

It is enough to shatter the principles of heaven.

Besides needing to obtain the Heart of God before the Fools, there was another reason that compelled Rikuo to rush to Inazuma.

That was news from the dock that Inazuma had lifted the nationwide lockdown order.

This is undoubtedly a bombshell for mainland students.

I haven't even gone to Inazuma yet, so how could that good-for-nothing blondie possibly go? Why did General Raiden suddenly lift the lockdown order?

That leaves only one possibility: the general also retained his memory.

But if that's the case, wouldn't the general steal the heads of the stragglers?

Can this be tolerated?

Humiliating the skirmishers is a must-do activity in Twat; if you come all this way and don't get to do it, it's a wasted trip.

Rikuo really wished he could be teleported directly to Inazuma right now.

Having received news of Inazuma's opening, various merchant guilds in Liyue are now busily preparing goods, hoping to make a fortune in Inazuma.

Among them, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful, and it is said that their young master Xingqiu will also be going to Daozuo to discuss business with the fleet. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce's fleet is more luxurious than ever before.

He said he was going to discuss business, but he really just wanted to read novels.

Lu Sheng decided to go to Inazuma with the Feiyun Merchant Guild's fleet.

Feiyun Merchant Guild is wealthy, employs professional sailors, and has better ships than other merchant fleets, allowing them to reach Inazuma more quickly.

It's not that flying on a sword is bad, but there's a vast ocean between Liyue and Inazuma. Who knows where you'd end up if you flew on a sword all day?

Moreover, there are many places on the high seas where there is no wind.

After purchasing the supplies, Lu Sheng prepared to go to the dock to register to join the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's fleet.

The docks were bustling with activity, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going, showing no signs of the recent war that had taken place here.

In the best location, a wooden sign with the four large characters "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce" stands tall, with two or three employees setting up a long table below, and the words "Recruitment" posted next to it, shouting loudly.

"Come and see! Feiyuan Chamber of Commerce is recruiting sailors! Requirements: strong, able to swim, and preferably with some martial arts skills! Excellent benefits and generous salary!"

"Me! I'm signing up!"

The recruiter took a closer look at the man who spoke. He had loose black hair, wore a long robe, and had an unremarkable appearance. He didn't have any muscles and looked more like a spoiled rich kid than a sailor.

"You? You were a sailor? Are you strong? If you're not here specifically to cause trouble, get out of the way and don't get in the way of our recruitment!"

The waiter waved his hand impatiently, telling Lu Sheng to leave.

"As long as you're strong, that's all that matters, right?"

Without saying a word, Lu Sheng walked to the sign of the Chamber of Commerce and pointed to the sandbags used to weigh down the sign, saying, "This sandbag should weigh about 100 jin, right?"

After saying that, he picked up the two sandbags with one hand each, effortlessly, and moved them up and down like lifting barbells.

The guys' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What does it mean to be blind to someone's worth? I've really learned something new this time!

The shopkeeper who had tried to drive Lu Sheng away immediately changed his tune, smiling broadly as he brought over the roster and respectfully asked, "Oh dear, I misjudged you! Don't take it to heart, brother. Our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce needs someone like you! I'll register you right away! May I ask your name, brother?"

"tractor."

"Okay, Brother Tie Niu! Remember, our fleet is setting off early tomorrow morning, so come to the dock early to meet us, and don't miss it!"

The waiter took a wooden plaque out of his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Sheng's hand.

"This is the Chamber of Commerce token. You need it to board the ship, so don't lose it."

Lu Sheng put away the token and was preparing to return to the Chen Ge Pot to rest until tomorrow morning.

Suddenly, a paper crane floated down from the sky.

His eyes narrowed, and he quickly grabbed the paper crane, turned into a deserted corner, unfolded it, and examined its contents. His brows gradually relaxed.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

That night, the moon was bright, Aozang Mountain.

A gentle breeze swept across the mountaintop, causing the tranquil grass to sway and rustle softly.

With trepidation, Gan Yu stepped onto the lawn and headed towards the cliff tip, known only to her and her master, where the most beautiful view of the sea of ​​clouds could be seen.

Tonight is a full moon, its light bright and clear. The sea of ​​clouds is completely different from that of the daytime, hazy and mysterious. Beneath the churning clouds, it seems as if many secrets are hidden, just like the heart of a young girl.

Will he come...?

Gan Yu walked with her head down, not daring to look up.

I finally managed to free up half a day off, and if he doesn't come, I'll have to stay here alone with this sea of ​​clouds until dawn.

Before she knew it, Gan Yu had arrived at the cliff.

She mustered her courage and raised her head, her heart finally settling down.
