Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

In any case, after receiving a new task from his superiors, Iwasaki Masaru became busy again.

First of all, it is about light novel newspapers and magazines.

Yae Kamiko directly gave him the position of deputy editor-in-chief in front of everyone in Yaedo, and specifically stated that Iwasaki Tadashi would be in charge of Yaedo's new newspaper business, and also asked other editors to cooperate.

This left the editors at Yaedo scratching their heads.

However, although I don't quite understand it from a business perspective, as long as I know that this is someone arranged by the boss, he is most likely a rich boy from some family, so I just have to be careful not to offend him.

After all, this is Inazuma Castle.

But among this group of people, none of them had any experience in newspapers.

They are just editors of light novels!

They could only make a "Light Novel Weekly" by crudely imitating the styles of "Steam Bird News" and "Seven Nations Gazette".

The main thing is to integrate the titles, introductions, and some contents of some light novels into newspapers and then print them out.

The positioning is very vague.

Because this is equivalent to asking readers to pay to purchase the light novel recommendation list.

No one in Yaedo is optimistic about this project.

But what was unexpected was that Kujo Takayuki provided a wave of assists.

He was paying close attention to the movements of Yaesugi Kamiko and Kamisato Ayato, and when he heard that Yaedo had launched a new "Light Novel Weekly", he immediately asked someone to buy a copy.

After a closer look, I didn't find anything wrong.

Then it was thrown away.

But unfortunately, the scene of the throwing away was seen by a passerby.

The kind-hearted attendant also enthusiastically explained to passers-by that it had been carefully reviewed by Lord Tianling Bugyo.

Thus, the news that Lord Tenryo Bugyo was subscribing to the "Light Novel Weekly" spread directly in Inazuma Castle.

As we all know, popular things in society often follow the trends of the bigwigs.

And these rumors, which seem to have details or facts, often spread at an astonishing speed.

Plus Yaedo's consistent quality assurance.

The next day, "Light Novel Weekly" became a huge hit.

Iwasaki Masaru and other editors: ???

Yae Shinko: You guys did a great job.

Anyway, it was just like that, but Light Novel Weekly became a huge success.

At least that's what it looks like now.

After summing up his experience, Iwasaki began to prepare for his next mission:

Go to Naganohara Fireworks Shop and seek the formula for high-powered gunpowder.

To be honest, Iwasaki felt that this mission was more difficult than meeting Yae Miko.

He had been in Inazuma Castle for several years and was relatively familiar with the situation in the city. He had also dealt with Naganohara Ryunosuke several times.

Naganohara Ryunosuke was a relatively peaceful person by nature. He changed various formulas and added various metals and minerals just to make the fireworks have different colors. He was obsessed with creating visual effects. He was not interested in enhancing the power of gunpowder and creating bigger explosions, and was even opposed to it.

Therefore, high-powered gunpowder, Ryunosuke, should not have such a thing.

But Ryunosuke's daughter, Naganohara Yonomiya, is a little different from Ryunosuke.

Xiao Gong not only likes gorgeous fireworks, but also likes bigger explosions.

She hoped for a bigger explosion, bigger and more colorful fireworks, and louder noise.

I heard that this kid was sent to the beach by the fire brigade more than a year ago because he made explosives at a festival.

Therefore, high-powered gunpowder must most likely be obtained from the Xiao Palace.

But here’s the trouble.

He wasn't very familiar with Ryunosuke, and he had only met Yomiuri once, and they hadn't even said hello to each other.

So, how should he start?

He went straight up to the little girl whom he had only met once and said: Uncle wants to buy a formula for extremely powerful gunpowder.

I'm afraid that Xiaogong will treat him as a saboteur and send him to the Fengxing Office on the spot.

Go steal?

Not likely, as the above person clearly intended to make friends, besides, he couldn't recognize the formula of gunpowder, nor did he have the confidence that he could defeat such a dangerous person covered in explosives.

I heard that this little girl used to have the Eye of Fire Element, but I don’t know if it has been taken away.

In short, forceful approaches won't work.

After thinking about it, he found another request in the letter:

Maintain a good cooperative relationship with the company, and pay special attention to the siblings Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka.

I got to know Kamisato Ayato through the introduction of the editor-in-chief.

Kamisato Ayaka, this mysterious egret princess has never been seen before.

Iwasaki Masaru did not think that the White Egret Princess was just an elegant and dignified vase as ordinary people thought.

If this were true, the higher-ups wouldn't take it so seriously.

And even if it is just a vase, it is a vase with a superior status and huge influence.

So, what could be a faster way to build relationships than to act together?

These two things can be linked together and done together.

The famous Princess Shiraha negotiated with the Naganohara family in the name of the shrine administrator.

Thinking of this, he gave instructions for the follow-up work and went to Kamisato House.

Under the guidance of the guards, Iwasaki Masaru successfully entered Kamisato Ayato's office.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Society Commissioner."

"Mr. Iwasaki, welcome. I heard that the sales of your Light Novel Weekly are very good."

"No, no, I am just thanking you for your kindness, Lord Tianling."

At this point, both of them couldn't hold back and burst into laughter at the same time.

Kujo Takayuki tried his best to keep a close eye on their movements, but in the end he ended up providing them with a dowry, which actually promoted their success.

"Let's get back to the point. I took the liberty of coming to visit you this time because I actually hope to get help from Miss Linghua."

"Hmm? How can my sister help?"

"It's a request from above, but it's a bit difficult for me to handle it."

Iwasaki briefly explained the mission and his plans to Kamisato Ayato, but omitted the part about requiring them to maintain a relationship with the society magistrate and pay attention to the two siblings.

Kamisato Ayato was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly agreed to the request.

He just wanted to let Linghua exercise.

However, for safety reasons, he still asked Linghua to bring a guard with her.

Thomas is also an old retainer of the Kamisato family.

On the way back to Inazuma Castle, Kamisato Ayaka, Iwasaki Masaru, and Toma were chatting quite enthusiastically.

Kamisato Ayaka was full of curiosity about the situation over there.

But to be honest, Iwasaki Masayuki is not sure what the current situation is.

Since the issuance of the National Lockdown Order and the Eye Hunting Order, Inazuma has changed a lot.

Taking advantage of this time, Iwasaki explained the specific matters to Ayaka.

"I understand."

As if she had a kind of magic, the voice of this Egret Princess alone made people feel like a lady from a noble family.

However, Kamisato Ayaka, who carries a sword and wears armor, is obviously not that kind of pampered young lady.

"It just so happens that Xiao Gong and I are old acquaintances. We can use the name of the community's fireworks reserve for the festival to contact Xiao Gong, and then I can explain the situation to Xiao Gong. This way, it won't arouse suspicion."

After returning to Inazuma Castle, the group went straight to Naganohara Fireworks Shop.

Kamisato Ayaka explained the purpose of their visit to Xiao Gong.

"Ah, you want a more powerful gunpowder formula, um... let me think about it."

Xiao Gong was rummaging through a pile of recipes.

"Have it!"

"This is a new formula that I experimented with Ms. Alice during the last festival. I guarantee it's powerful enough!"

Chapter 16 Alice’s gift, three yellows in ten consecutive years?

Inside the sea island.

After seeing off the editorial team that had undergone a few days of temporary training, Jiang Ming did not rest either.

The contact with the Southern Cross Fleet is a problem that is currently giving Xin Hai a headache.

Xinhai also pulled Jiang Ming and Wu Lang into the discussion.

After docking at the offshore islands, the Southern Cross fleet would unload foreign goods, but would also take away a batch of Inazuma's local products depending on the situation.

Since they are here to trade, they will naturally try their best to avoid returning empty-handed.

The initial negotiations with the Southern Cross Fleet will be completed by the staff stationed on the outlying islands, and then the Southern Cross Fleet will leave from the outlying islands.

After that, either return directly to Liyue Harbor; or make another trip to Kaigi Island, do some business between Inazuma City and Kaigi Island, and then return to Liyue.

I believe Beidou will not refuse this unexpected fortune.

The issue that Jiang Ming and his team are discussing is how to contact the Southern Cross Fleet and how to efficiently use this valuable window for external communication with the Southern Cross Fleet.

Specifically, it is about how they will receive the Southern Cross Fleet when it comes to Haigi Island, what requests they have for the Southern Cross Fleet, and what materials they need to purchase from the outlying islands.

The reception issue is not urgent for now and can be discussed slowly. Anyway, Haigi Island is poor and can't offer anything good.

It goes without saying that the most basic minerals, seeds, cloth and the like are definitely needed.

So the main problem is the commission and other materials that need to be purchased.

Overall, the situation on Wulang and Xinhai's side is relatively stable. The supplies they need are relatively basic, and there is no need to contact foreign countries. The most they do is buy some newspapers and magazines, and communicate with the seafarers to keep up with the times.

Mainly on Jiang Ming's side, a new department has been established, which is an unprecedented organization in the history of Umijima and even in Inazuma, so it may need a lot of things.

Jiang Ming went over it in his mind and found that there seemed to be too much stuff.

"First, the explosive materials in the Magisterium can speed up the mass production of new weapons. Secondly, our existing reserves of rare minerals are insufficient. Then, there is the smelting technology. And there is also the recruitment of various talents..."

"There's a lot to do. How about I go back and make a detailed list, then make a written plan, and we can discuss it in detail."

"That's fine. It will take at least a week to get from Liyue to Inazuma. Due to the lockdown order, the sea conditions outside Inazuma are bad, so it may take even longer. However, we have to take into account the time it takes to transmit information, and we also have to reserve time for our people on the outlying islands, so it can't take too long."

"Don't worry, I'll come up with a list and a plan in the next two or three days."

In this way, Jiang Ming once again entered the 996 mode.

When Jiang Ming was still working on the plan, he received another message from Xin Hai's men.

The formula for high-powered gunpowder has been sent back by letter.

He opened the envelope and took out several sheets of paper and a letter.

"Since I don't know what can be called 'high-powered gunpowder', I have provided all the gunpowder formulas that Ms. Xiao Gong thinks meet the requirements. Thank you Ms. Xiao Gong and Ms. Kamisato Ayaka for your generous support.

——Iwasaki Masaru"

I really didn't expect it. I let someone try their luck and it turned out that the goods actually shipped.

And there’s more than one serving!
