People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 162: Huh? The village has internet access? The great sage has fallen?
Xumi, the temporary accommodation for caravans in the north of the port of Omos.

As the most prosperous commercial port in the entire Xumi, the number of caravans gathering at the Port of Omos is undoubtedly the largest.

But these businessmen, who used to be scattered all over the world and busy all the time, now stopped their work and gathered in a small inn on the north side of the pier, which was unusual.

Among the many temporary resettlement places in Xumi, it has the strongest commercial atmosphere.

On this special day, Shapur Hostel in Port Ormos was packed with guests, never before seen since its opening.

Not to mention the large chambers of commerce coming from Liyue and the wine merchants coming by boat from Mondjingfu Port, even engineers coming from the Fontaine area for exchanges can be seen in the corner of the first floor.

But these new Fontaine engineers obviously couldn't understand.

Why would these usually extremely shrewd businessmen gather obediently in such a small hotel and believe in such nonsense as "The First Sage and Lord Grass God will complete the construction of the entire Sumeru Road within half a day, so please be patient."

With the idea of ​​studying the national conditions of other countries, the leader of the team of engineers glanced at the various caravans in the inn and finally chose a pink-haired merchant who seemed easier to talk to.

Savini stood up from the table and walked to the pink-haired merchant under the surprised gazes of the other merchants.
After a moment's hesitation, he took the initiative to speak to the merchant in front of him:

"Hello, we are a team of engineers from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences who are here to exchange technology with civilian agencies. My name is Savini. May I ask if you know what the 'Sumeru Road Reconstruction Plan' these merchants are talking about is? Why do I feel like they are all discussing something we don't understand?"

After hearing the outrageous words such as "half a day", "the entire Sumeru", and "comprehensive adjustment of the caravan route" from the people around him.

Having worked in a road research institute for a period of time, he knew very well how difficult large-scale road adjustments were.

For a moment, he even suspected that he had been sent to some strange place by those officers because he accidentally carried some contraband.

- For example, the mysterious tavern in folk tales used to extract information from suspicious people.

"My, my, is this your first time to Xumi? It seems that you don't know enough about the 'First Sage' and the 'Little Auspicious Grass King'. If you want to go to the Teaching Institute to exchange technology, this is not allowed!"

"In order to make your journey to Xumi smoother, would you consider buying a copy of Dolly's special edition of 'Xumeru Precautions and Travel Guide' from me?"

While the pink-haired loli's eyes sparkled, she introduced the products to this group of 'fat sheep'.

The merchants around him who knew the methods of Master Sangge Mahabayi very well,

Seeing that there were actually some young fools who dared to approach Dolly, they all looked at these unlucky guys with some pity.

——He obviously has no experience in dealing with businessmen, but he dares to introduce himself in front of Master Dolly.

Not only that, the first sentence revealed the fact that he had never been to Xumi, but when introducing himself, he even revealed his spending power.
——I hope these guys can still have money for food when they leave the inn, otherwise they will have to stay in the "Relief Hall" established by the First Sage for a while.

"Well, this is indeed our first time in Xumi. We have been working in remote places recently, and we don't know much about the two people you mentioned."

"If you are willing to answer our questions, please give us two copies of this 'Xumeru Entire Territory Precautions and Travel Attractions Guide'."

When Savigny saw the thick books in Dolly's hands, he thought that she was just an ordinary salesman. He felt a little sympathy for this little girl who was somewhat isolated. He thought it would be okay to buy two books as a reward for answering her questions.

——It’s just a travel guide anyway, how can it be so expensive?

Savini was extremely confident about his salary level and bought the goods with the merchant in front of him looking at him with shining eyes.

"Oh my! I haven't seen such a generous guest in a long time. You are worthy of being a distinguished guest from Fontaine Academy of Sciences!"

"Hehe, since you've given me so much face, I will naturally tell you everything I know, Dolly!"

Having never seen such a fat sheep that was so easily hooked, Dolly silently memorized the name of Fontaine Science Academy in her heart and labeled it as a "gathering place for fat sheep."

Since the purpose of sales promotion has been achieved, in line with the businessman's contractual spirit, Dolly is also willing to temporarily act as a guide for these "high-quality customers" in front of her.

After organizing her thoughts, the pink-haired girl decided to start from the beginning:
"Hey, I think your doubts are mainly about the 'Sumeru Road Reconstruction Plan', right?"

"From your reactions, you probably didn't notice the various reports posted in the city these days, but were temporarily intercepted by the Magisterium when you were leaving Omos Harbor and planning to enter the trade route, right?"

Although she used a questioning tone, Dolly had a very certain expression on her face.

——The House of Lords issued a notice about the temporary blockade of the road today many days ago. With the level of detail in the notice about the operation, anyone who has only taken a glance at it should not be like these fat sheep who know nothing about it except the name.

"Yes, from the mouths of these merchants, I heard that your 'First Sage' seemed to be planning to complete the reconstruction of the entire country's trade routes within half a day. No matter how you think about it, this is a fantasy and completely impossible thing, right?"

"Since the reason for blocking the road is so absurd, why are you all waiting here quietly?"

Savigny found that this plan was like a fantasy and completely impossible to achieve.
However, many of the merchants present seemed to be just looking forward to the completion of the reconstruction of the trade route, and never thought about whether this thing was true.

"."

"May I ask how long it has been since the guests last came into contact with information about Xumi? In your impression, who is the most senior person in the Xumi Order?"

Dolly was silent for a moment, and found that the information lag of this group of people was indeed quite serious. To be rigorous, she still asked about the specific situation.

"Ah? Not long. I just stayed in the construction base in the wild for half a year. I just heard that Xumi relaxed the port's access conditions, so I came here directly."

"As for the one with the highest position, let me think, I think his name is Hazard?"

Savini looked at the two junior students and co-workers behind him, scratched his head, and dug out a name from the corner of his memory.

"No way, there really is someone who doesn't know anything!"

"The Hazard you mentioned has now become a classic negative example recorded in textbooks!"

"And you didn't even know that Little Jixiang Grass King had returned to power. How many versions of information are you guys behind?"

After hearing the above stupid words, the two businessmen beside Savigny couldn't help but correct the wrong ideas of this engineer who seemed to have emerged from a corner.

"Yes, yes, why do you still mention that bastard Hazard?"

"I advise everyone, if you don't want to get beaten, you'd better not say his name in front of the residents of Xumi City. Even though I haven't experienced the invasion of the Colossus, I find it unlucky to hear such a rubbish name now!"

"That's right, he actually dared to send his child to Zhidong as an experimental subject. If this old man wasn't dead without leaving any residue, I would have wanted to drag him out and beat him up twice!" After someone started the conversation,
Several senior businessmen nearby, remembering the chaotic environment in Xumi before, also began to denounce the previous great sage.

"Ah, could it be that in such a short time, the leader of Xumi has been replaced?"

"What is the relationship between the 'First Sage' you mentioned and the 'Little Auspicious Grass King', the god of Xumi?"

Savini and the two junior students behind him looked at each other, somewhat confused by the current situation.

——I have only been at the construction site for half a year. Why do I become a primitive man when I come to Xumi this time? I have never been like this before? !

"Ahem, I didn't expect to meet travelers like you guys who don't know the First Sage at all in Xumi."

"Although it's incredible, since you bought my things, Master Dolly, I'll still tell you the details from the beginning."

Dolly stroked her forehead and found that the situations of her clients were extremely rare in today's Xumi.

In order to prevent them from being beaten in the future for mentioning Azar's name in front of the victim, she began to explain responsibly:

"Because the specific situation is very complicated, I still suggest that you read the part about Little Auspicious Grass King in the "Xumeru Precautions and Travel Attractions Guide" by yourself later. This will at least ensure your personal safety when you go to the Ordinance Hall."

"——To put it simply, a few months ago, the previous Great Sage Azar and his followers were sentenced to death for unforgivable crimes."

"The people in charge of Xumi now are the 'First Sage', who is also known as the 'God of Authority', and the 'Little King of Auspicious Grass', who is also known as the 'God of Wisdom'. If you don't want to be beaten up by believers who suddenly appear, please be respectful to our gods in your words and deeds."

"——If you say something like 'your first sage' casually like before, Master Dolly cannot guarantee your safety."

Having said that, in order to protect future trading opportunities for herself and her clients, Dolly looked very seriously at the three Fontaine engineers in front of her, indicating that she was not joking.

Because the policies released by these two gods since they came to power have brought practical improvements to people's lives, and they are also very people-friendly, without the arrogance of being condescending, so their prestige among the people of Xumi is actually very high. This can be seen from the popularity of the statues of gods sold by Dolly.

Whether it was the "authoritarian god" who, after taking office, cleared out the lawless elements in the entire Xumi territory in a short period of time and guaranteed the safety of residents' lives and property to the greatest extent;
Or is it the "God of Wisdom" who is committed to improving people's livelihood day after day, distributing a variety of improved crop seeds for free, and visibly increasing the income of many people;
If anyone dares to speak ill of these two gods in public, even if they are not beaten up by believers who appear so easily,
But the label on them will undoubtedly be downgraded from "ordinary foreigners" to "unreasonable foreigners", and they will not be welcomed by the local people.

Therefore, after making sure they remembered this, Dolly continued:
"After taking office, these two gods have carried out many reforms on the domestic environment.
This includes, but is not limited to, repairing houses destroyed in disasters, creating oases in the desert where crops can be grown, and remediating large-scale pollution caused by certain illegal research by the Fatwa House in the past."

"These large-scale environmental transformations, which are extremely time-consuming and difficult for ordinary people to achieve, were completed efficiently by the two gods in a very short time.

This time, the "Xumeru Road Reconstruction Plan" was jointly initiated by the "First Sage" and the "Little Auspicious Grass King."

"Not only will the two powerful gods guarantee the implementation of the plan, but the delayed delivery time will also be compensated accordingly."

"——As a qualified businessman, you only need to think about the impact this matter will bring in the future. There is no need to waste energy considering whether this kind of thing can be realized!"

"To put it simply, this is why we are gathered here with peace of mind. I wonder if the three guests are satisfied with the friendly service provided by Dolly's Grocery Store?"

After explaining so much in one breath, even Dolly felt a little dry in the mouth.
After making sure that the guests had understood, the pink-haired little Lolita directly picked up the teacup in her hand and elegantly took two sips of the premium floral tea served by the innkeeper.

"."

"Ah? The Great Sage fell?"

"There is a new god in Xumi?"

"How could so many things happen in just a few months? The three of us were just running a project, but why do we feel like we have become primitive people?"

The three engineers who had just escaped from the field base looked at each other in bewilderment, not only because of the lightning-fast changes in Xumi's leaders and policies, but also because the gods on Xumi's side seemed to be different from those in their own country in terms of power and presence.

——Although our own “Lady Funina” is very popular as an idol, I have never heard of such a large religious group among the people?

When they thought about how they almost got punished by others for their rude remarks, they felt extremely grateful to the pink-haired businessman in front of them.

"Hehe, so exclusive information is the first secret treasure of business!"

"Money has a price, but information is priceless. So, in addition to the 'Complete Guide to Precautions and Scenic Spots in the Entire Xumi Territory', would you like two copies of the latest route maps after the trade route reconstruction plan?"

"Exclusive 99% discount for a limited time. This is something that Master Dolly got through an exclusive channel. If you buy it now, you will also get free packaging service~"

Dolly felt that the value of these three fat sheep had not been fully tapped, so she promoted them to others.

"Is there a discount? Then please help us get one too. Thank you."

"As expected of an engineer from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, this client has good taste!"

“Two copies of ‘Xumeru’s Complete Guide to Things to Note and Travel Attractions’ plus a copy of ‘Xumeru’s Latest Business Opportunities Roadmap’.”

"——Cheng Hui, 200,000 Mora, I will help you three to pack it up right now!"

"Oh, thank you. The merchants in Xumi are really enthusiastic, unlike those in our country."

"."

"."

???

"and many more!!!"

"You mean seizing the young master?!"

"20 Mora?!"

Three Fontaine engineers who had just received their project payment and felt very wealthy the moment before,

Because of this sudden astronomical figure, under the pitying gazes of the other merchants in the inn, they all cried out in disbelief.
