Chapter 266 Who is looking at me?

Known universe, a hidden faction galaxy.

Dozens of life planets surround it, forming a unique star ring.
In the middle of the star ring, several intelligent beings with different life forms are sitting together.

All around are endless hymns coming from the planet of life, praising the stable life brought by that order.

If people from other Star God factions came here, they would probably be stunned.
Because it is a recognized fact that the Order Star God has fallen,

In an age when even the outer choir has lost its voice, there is still a civilization that believes in order.

It's incredible.

"The child has awakened."

“The order of the universe responded to Him, and we succeeded.”

"The Black Tower did not deceive us. The world called Teyvat does indeed contain the foundation of order."

"Early in the billions of years since the fall of Order Taiyi, Order has finally ushered in a new dawn."

"Notify our faction. Go to that planet and pay tribute to the rebirth of the Star God of Order."

"The universe has been out of order for too long. Countless lives have been oppressed, and countless planets have been exploited. It is time to usher in the iron law of order and bring fairness to everyone."

Intelligent beings of different life forms spoke one by one.
If astrobiologists were here, they would find that these are relatively rare species in the universe.

And most of these species are persecuted by certain cosmic groups.

The more vulnerable a group is, the more it desires absolute order;
The more powerful an individual is, the less he likes absolute order.

Order is a restriction on desire. The desires of the strong often inadvertently oppress the weak.

This is why some people still miss Taiyi, the God of Order, even after he fell countless Amber Ages.

"This news must be kept secret. It must not be known to the harmonious families. The usurper will definitely attack the fetus of order."

"Go, find that child, and offer a trivial sacrifice for his ascension to the Star God."

'...'

After a few days,
A large number of fleets jumped away from this hidden galaxy.

The known universe,

The ineffable place,
A great being opened his eyes,
The vast body is like a giant standing in the universe, with countless stars orbiting around it.
The concept of harmony flows through Him, giving people a sense of beauty that is difficult to ignore.

No matter you are male or female, young or old, good or evil, or any other characteristics of your personality,

When you see Him for the first time, it seems that endless harmony rings in your ears.

“Those who have reached the end, go to the all-embracing paradise, join this grand hymn and feast, listen to the beating of billions and billions of hearts, and embrace you in their arms!”

It seems like an absolutely beautiful home is unfolding right before you, making you unable to help but join in and become a part of it.

The great being with eyes opened looked into the depths of the universe,

His eyes penetrated the endless darkness and broke through the unimaginable void realm.
Even without the galactic track of [Pioneering], the barriers of the universe cannot block His sight.

at last,

A beautiful planet appeared before His eyes.

Then, the great being that radiates the beauty of endless harmony curled the corners of his mouth slightly, did nothing, and closed his eyes again.
-
Dark Universe: Teyvat

After communicating with the Great Compassion Tree King, we agreed on a time to meet with Tianli.

Wang Hao left Jingshan Palace and strolled along the streets of the Tree King Festival.

He quite likes this lively scene.

Wang Hao, who is transforming himself into an ordinary tourist and enjoying the atmosphere of the Tree King Festival, is walking on the road.

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine, as if something was staring at me.
With a chill in his heart, Wang Hao dodged and disappeared on the street.

He didn't know what was targeting him, but it must not be a simple thing to cause him to react like this.

If the other party attacks you, the passers-by will definitely be the first to suffer.

So Wang Hao chose to leave the city quickly.

field,

Wang Hao's face became suspicious, and the feeling of being stared at disappeared.

The other party seemed to just glance at him and then disappeared.

"what's the situation?"

No matter how Wang Hao thought, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Just wait a few days."

To be on the safe side, Wang Hao did not go back directly to Xumi to continue the festival, but stopped in the wild.

Three days later, the feeling of being spied on still did not appear.

Wang Hao was still wondering who in Teyvat could spy on him like this. He could never have imagined that this was a look of interest from a great star god across the endless universe.

"Could it be a prophet? Peering into me through the loom of fate?"

Wang Hao thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure it out, so he decided to blame it on the prophet first.

After all, in his opinion, the only person who is most capable of doing this is the prophet.

It can't be like what the barrage said, that some alien god is spying on us.

What a joke! I haven’t even been to the universe, how would the God of Harmony know?

Wang Hao shook his head and put the matter behind him.

Once again returning to Xumi City,

Three days later, the Tree King Festival has ended. Although there is still some lingering bustle on the streets, there are fewer people.

Wang Hao went to find Nashida and told her that he wanted to borrow someone from the Ministry of Education.

Kavi is from the Church of the Lord. Normally, Wang Hao should find the administrator of the Sahavalo College and invite Kavi to inspect the island through the Sahavalo College.

But Wang Hao didn't know the sage of Sahavala College, so he went directly to find Nashida.

"Help you build a new kingdom?"

Nashida nodded slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Of course you can, but you need to pay the Kavi scholars the corresponding compensation."

"Of course, I will pay you according to the standard salary package of the Fatwa Institute."

Wang Hao nodded.

Although building the island might require a loan from Liyue, Wang Hao still has enough to pay Kavi alone.

then,

"So, I was sent abroad like this?"

Kavi was pulled out of Elhaisen's house by Wang Hao.

El Haisen said he didn't care about Kawi's departure.

"Yes, there is a reasonable salary." Wang Hao nodded.

Kavi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's not impossible."

A moral person who owes money is really easy to deal with.

As long as you pay him and it doesn't violate his moral values, Kavi is actually very easy to manipulate.

"Then let's go."

"Oh, going to the island?"

"No, let's go to Liyue to get a loan first."

"Ah?" Kavi was confused. "Then how do we get there? Find a caravan?"

He didn't mind, because he was paid by the hour anyway, and the longer he was assigned there, the more he would earn.

Moreover, he just wanted to see Liyue’s architectural culture.

"No, just go straight over there."

Wang Hao smiled, and a ray of golden light surrounded Kavi. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled, and the space shattered, and he pulled Kavi into it.

……

Liyue Harbor, at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

"Ahem, is this your travel technique?"

Kavi patted his chest in disgust.

In fact, as the holder of the Eye of God and a civil engineer, Kavi's physical fitness is quite good.

But even with good physical fitness and Wang Hao's protection, the oppressive feeling brought by space travel was still too strong.

This is also related to Wang Hao's crude skills. The Fatui teleportation device seized by the General Affairs Department before did not have this problem.

Looking at Kavi, Wang Hao seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that he still had to be prepared if he directly tore the space to transport people, otherwise it would cause harm to ordinary people.

Kavi didn't know that he was a guinea pig.

After resting for a while, I quickly regained my energy.

Looking towards Liyue Harbor from the foot of Tianheng Mountain, you can already see a large number of Liyue-style buildings.

There was light in Kavi's eyes as he looked around, and finally he looked at the Qun Yu Pavilion in the sky.

"It's really amazing. The idea of ​​suspending the building in the air is really great."

"You know what? I have investigated the desert. According to the legend of the desert, the former Red King's Holy Apparition Hall was a floating building. But when I went to investigate the legendary place, I never found it."

Kavi exclaimed in admiration, his eyes fixed on the Qun Yu Pavilion.
For an architect, if the floating switch is turned on in his architectural concept, the change will be huge.

Once the building is floating and movable, many constraints no longer exist.

Kavi felt his mind was full of inspiration.
on the side,

Wang Hao is chatting with the comments.

I also learned that the so-called Red King's Holy Appearance Hall was actually hidden by a mechanism.
I can go and have a look later when I have time.

I heard from the comments that there are a lot of good things in there, but Wang Hao didn't care much. It's impossible for there to be any debris of the power of light. "Okay, it's so boring to sigh here, do you want to go up and take a look?"

Seeing Kavi's somewhat excited expression, Wang Hao smiled.

Kavi was stunned: "Is it okay? I remember that the Jade Pavilion is one of the political centers of Liyue. I am an outsider, so I shouldn't be able to go there casually."

Just like the Great Sage's office high up in the Palace of Wisdom is not allowed to be entered by outsiders, from Kavi's point of view, Liyue's Jade Pavilion should not be allowed to be entered by outsiders either.

"I'll take you up there, just to take a look at the exterior of the building, there should be no problem."

Wang Hao was not going to take Kavi into the Jade Pavilion either.
After all, there are some internal documents that cannot be seen by outsiders.

However, for Kawi, it was good enough to take a closer look at some of the things outside.

"Hahaha, thank you very much."

"It's okay. There will be more opportunities for cooperation later."

Wang Hao also hopes that Cavi will study Liyue's architecture. After all, he grew up in Liyue and feels more familiar with Liyue's architecture.
We also hope that in the construction of the island, the Liyue style will be adopted more often if the usage requirements are met.

As he spoke, the Rainbow Transformation Technique was activated, and Wang Hao took Kavi and flew to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Although no report was made, the guards of the Qun Yu Pavilion were already very familiar with Wang Hao's Rainbow Transformation Technique.

I didn't pay much attention to it at first, until I saw Kavi, a stranger, and then I walked over to ask.

Wang Hao introduced Kavi's identity, saying that he was a scholar from Xumi, and asked the guards to take him for a walk outside the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Wang Hao himself entered the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Ningguang was well-informed. She had already received the news when Wang Hao and his men appeared in the Qun Yu Pavilion.

When Wang Hao entered Tianquan's office,

Then he saw Ningguang looking up at him.

"You've been frank with Keqing, but why didn't you tell me first? Are you worried that I won't agree?"

Ningguang looked at Wang Hao, her almond-shaped eyes slightly open, as if with a hint of resentment.

My little one has grown up after all.

"Isn't this just a precaution for Keqing?"

Wang Hao felt a little embarrassed. As his relationship with Keqing became closer and his own power increased, he and Ningguang had indeed become more distant.

This is not Wang Hao being treacherous and ungrateful, it’s simply because there has been a lack of communication.

Whenever there was any problem, he would discuss it directly with Keqing, and Ningguang would generally not object, and this became the case over time.

“Oh, that’s enough. You have your own responsibilities after all…” Ningguang lowered her eyes and sighed, “Your current achievements are beyond my imagination.”

“If it weren’t for Sister Ningguang, I might not have achieved such results now.” Wang Hao said directly.

On his road to growth, barrage, Ningguang, Xingqiu, Keqing... everyone has helped him a lot.

Ningguang was the first person to discover Wang Hao, so it was impossible for Wang Hao to forget this friendship.

Looking at Wang Hao's sincere eyes, Ningguang felt slightly happy in her heart. This feeling of pleasure of not helping the wrong person made her happy.

"Okay, you want to talk to me about developing a new island."

"Keqing has said it, and the Seven Stars have also discussed it."

"In view of your great contribution to Liyue, we agree in principle to support your actions, but this is a huge sum of money, and we can't give it to you without reason."

"This is not my dissatisfaction with you, but we have to be responsible to the people of Liyue. I hope you can understand."

Ningguang suppressed her smile and put on a businesslike look.

Wang Hao was not angry, but relieved instead.

If Ningguang agreed immediately just because of their friendship, Wang Hao would feel uncomfortable.

"Does Lord Tianquan have any plan? Can I hear it?" Wang Hao's words became formal.

Ningguang nodded slightly:

"We have discussed it and decided that supporting you is of course indispensable.
But giving the funds directly to you would also be unfair to the tax-paying citizens of Liyue, as this money should be used for the citizens of Liyue.

So, we hope we can reach a partial agreement with you.”

Wang Hao knew that what was coming next was the highlight, so he became serious and said, "Master Tianquan, please speak."

"First, we will loan you 30 billion Mora in the early stage. Apart from the reasonable salary you pay to the workers, the rest of this Mora will be spent in Liyue again."

"Food, clothing, tools, medicine, building materials and other supplies, as long as they are available in Liyue, then you must buy them in Liyue. Of course, Liyue will not raise the price. It will sell them to you at a price lower than the market price while ensuring profits."

"If the construction needs to recruit workers from outside, we must give priority to hiring workers from Liyue, and ensure that at least one-third of the workers are hired from outside."

"You need to ensure the safety of Liyue workers on the island."

"After the construction of the island is completed, Liyue should enjoy the preferential treatment of the most favored nation in trade."

"After the island is built, the two sides will conclude other covenants depending on the situation."

"..."

Ningguang stated many demands, but most of them were to protect Liyue’s interests.

Some regulations even give islands preferential treatment, such as materials below market price.

This loan can be said to be very fair.

[Okay, okay, lending money to others so that they can buy your things, this looks familiar. ]

[Of course it looks familiar, many countries do this. 】

[In fact, as long as you don’t cheat others, it’s a win-win situation. ]

[Indeed, I am afraid that I will end up buying a bunch of junk with the loan money.]

【Liyue will never cheat Wang Hao. 】

【…】

Chatting in barrage.

Just as the comment said,
It's actually a win-win situation.

Wang Hao obtained a huge amount of funds to build and develop a new island kingdom.

Although Liyue lent out a lot of money, the money essentially flowed back into Liyue's market.
A large number of foreign trade orders will stimulate Liyue's economic market. Factories will recruit workers if they get orders, and workers will settle down if they get jobs.
Once the funds start flowing, many things will be activated.

More importantly, Liyue is lending out money, which is a loan, and Wang Hao will have to pay it back in the end.

Of course, it definitely won’t be Wang Hao who will pay it back personally.

In the end, the one who will pay back the money will definitely be the island after the construction is completed.

The island will also improve its trade with the outside world because of the repayment of debts.

As long as it is confirmed that Liyue will not cheat Wang Hao, and the island represented by Wang Hao will pay back the money, then this deal is a win-win situation.

And it’s a huge win-win.

Given Wang Hao’s contribution to Liyue and his belief in the Seven Stars, this huge deal was completed very easily.

Of course, this money will not be transferred to Wang Hao's account immediately.

On the contrary, Liyue will set up a special agency to manage the money, and the accounts will be reviewed by both parties.

It’s not that I don’t trust the other person, but I’m afraid that someone will secretly take advantage of me.

Thirty billion Mora in the early stage is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, and many people cannot control their greed.

I discussed with Ningguang until the evening.

Wang Hao just left the Tianquanxing office.

Perhaps considering that Kavi was still there, Ningguang did not force Wang Hao to stay for dinner.

When I arrived outside the Qun Yu Pavilion, I saw Kavi still studying something.

"Kavi, stop looking. I'll take you to the Hall of All People to taste the flavor of Liyue cuisine."

"By the way, can you eat spicy food?"

"It's hard to eat something that's too spicy or too hot. I can't eat it. I have to wait until it's cool before I eat it."

"Eh, is that so? Then you can't eat many Liyue dishes. Forget it, I'll ask Xiangling to make you some special dishes."

"Liyue's specialty? I'm looking forward to it!"

"It's Xiangling's specialty."

He left the Jade Pavilion with Kawi,

The lively eating tiger rock and the distinctive Liyue building attracted Kavi's attention, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Wang Hao didn't care and took Kavi to the Hall of All Peoples, stopping and walking.

It just so happened that Xiangling didn't go out to look for ingredients today and stayed in the store.

"Xiangling, two people."

Wang Hao shouted.

"Lulule~" Before Xiangling could reply, Guoba ran out first and started gurgling to Wang Hao.

It was asking where Wang Hao had been recently and why he hadn't come to the store.

"I went out recently and just came back." He explained to Guoba.

Xiangling also looked over: "Wang Hao, Guoba, take them to the window seat."

Then he walked over while talking.
"You brought a new friend here. What do you want to eat today?"

Wang Hao smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want, but he doesn't eat spicy or hot food."

As he said this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Kavi.

"He's looking forward to your special food."

Kavi didn't understand, but nodded politely: "Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
