Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

"Don't do this, Ayato, Inazuma needs you!"

Ayato: "..."

Divine Child: "Try to think positively. I've already persuaded Shadow to go back and let her think about Eternal. These things aren't suitable for her. You can manage Inazuma."

Ayato: "But she's the Goddess of Thunder."

"Of course she is."

The fox chuckled, "She has servants, a beautiful and magnificent castle tower, a steady supply of sweets, and the entire Yaedo light novel... What more could she want?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Ayato's forehead. "I think the Shogun should try to manage Inazuma..."

“So I stopped her!” The goddess clapped her hands. “She’s not real, she doesn’t have that ability. We can feed Dango milk and light novels regularly, she just needs to be a knife block.”

"Knife rack?"

"You don't need to know that. You just need to know that she never ruled a country in the past. It was her sister, the previous Thor, who ruled it. All she had to do was chop and chop!"

"This is not good..."

"Think about it, Ayato. She's giving you a year to make sure the entire Inatsume community can drink dango milk."

“It should be you,” Ayato retorted.

"That's not important; in the end, it still has to be left to you."

Ayato: "..."

The Divine Child shook her head. "As expected, Zhong Gui was right. I can handle governing the country (and then outsource it to Ayato). Shadow isn't very good at thinking."

"How much trouble has she caused us these past two days? Good heavens, she let everyone know that the Inazuma people aren't getting enough to eat!!! And she even said it's our fault? Those people actually believed her? Seriously, they were starving to death a few years ago!"

I was exhausted by this trivial matter. It took me a long time to persuade Ying to return to the Pure Land of Pure Heart to eat, drink, and have fun. Then I started to expel the winter merchants and issued a notice along the way.

The gist of the story is that the Inazuma people are starving because the Winter Merchants are making all the money from Mora, which is why Inazuma is so poor. This has nothing to do with the Magistrate's Office. In order to ensure that the Inazuma people have enough to eat, the Magistrate's Office, risking offending the Winter Queen, issued a strong condemnation of the Winter Kingdom and expelled seventy-six Winter Merchants in protest.

In addition, Lord Yaeji unexpectedly succeeded in breaking through the Winter Intelligence Network!

The incident has come to a perfect end.

"Do we have seventy-six Winter Merchants?"

“That’s not important. What’s important is that we expelled them.”

"Lord Yae-no-ji," Ayato Kamisato looked up at her, "the important thing now is how to feed everyone!"

"Don't worry, as long as Ying doesn't cause trouble..."

“I can’t do it even if the general doesn’t cause trouble!” Ayato said resolutely.

The divine child narrowed his eyes. "So decisive?"

"I was already granted permission to rest, and Tom even bought me the ticket to visit relatives in Liyue," Ayato said slowly. "Besides, Inazuma can't rely on me alone. Isn't this something the Shogun arranged for you? Yae-no-miya~"

Divine Child: "...Having a backer really makes a difference, doesn't it?"

"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been really worried about Ayaka's future marriage prospects."

If pushed too far, he led the Kamisato family to immigrate to Liyue, where he became the "Imperial Brother-in-Law" and still thrived.

The Kamiri family moved easily; they simply took Thomas and a few old servants and left, since they didn't have many family members.

Of course, this was a last resort out of desperation; he couldn't bear to part with Inazuma.

But if that can't be done... we can talk to General Ying, but the other general's sword is sharp.

I can't do this by myself; my small body can't handle it.

"Don't worry, I've found someone to help you." The divine child smiled, "If you need help, I'll give you one."

"Who?" Ayato thought for a moment and realized that no one seemed capable of doing such a thing.

"You said most people can earn in a year what they used to earn in three or four years. What will happen to Inazuma then?"

"I can afford dango milk!"

"Correct!"

P.S.: Please vote with monthly tickets, subscribe, recommend, and give flowers.

Chapter 242 I need to see Balzeb's name on the contract within one hour!

"Who wants dango milk?"

Zhong Gui knocked on the door symbolically and went inside.

Divine Child: "Oh, speak of the devil and he appears!"

Ayato: "Who is Cao Cao?"

Divine Child: "Zhong Gui said he's a very fast runner."

The man and the fox stood up and took two steps.

Zhong Gui greeted them and said, "I just heard something about dumpling milk. Does Ying want some?"

The goddess and Ayato exchanged a glance, smiled, and said nothing.

Ayato: "Mr. Zhonggui, I heard from Lord Yae-no-miya that you came to Inazuma to do business?"

"There is such a thing."

Ayato: "Could I ask for more details?"

Zhong Gui nodded and told his brother-in-law about his investment attraction plan.

Ayato: "Well, in general, we provide the manpower, land, and labor, while you provide the technology, and then we sell the products."

"Yes, that way Inazuma will have money, dumplings, and milk."

"But...who would you sell it to?"

The idea is good; everyone works to earn money, but if you can't sell your products, you won't make any money.

Zhong Gui took out the new version of the phone again and began to disassemble it, holding up the energy pool and saying, "This is what we need to do."

Ayato remained unmoved.

Then Zhong Gui held up the phone with his other hand, saying, "This is a phone."

"I know." He also had one, but it only contained the numbers of his sister, the fox, and the general.

"This is a new product from Liyue, costing only this much!"

Zhong Gui gestured with his hand, and Ayato gasped.

In that case, even if Teyvat couldn't afford to buy them all, even if Inazuma, who always complains about being poor, gritted his teeth and managed to buy one for a third of them.

He'd used a cell phone before, and it was really useful; once you've used one, you generally can't live without it.

Ayato humbly inquired, "Then what about this energy pool?"

"It's what powers it; without it, this thing can't start!"

The divine child asked, "So, every mobile phone needs to be equipped with one of these?"

"Yes, it will slowly run out of power and will need to be charged with a charger."

"Why is the power back on?"

“…” Zhong Gui, “Ahem, from now on, this thing will be produced in your Inazuma, the Land of Lightning. We’ll just call it a battery.”

Divine Child: "Wandering mouth..."

Ayato fiddled with the battery, then suddenly said, "Does this thing need a charging device?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Do you think there's any possibility?" Ayato leaned closer, "Brother-in-law, do you think it's possible to not use that charging device?"

"???"

“What I (aeeh) mean is, let’s make the batteries disposable, and buy new ones when they’re used up.”

Zhong Gui: "Hiss—"

Divine Child: "Great idea!"

Zhong Gui always felt he had been ruthless enough in exploiting his seniors, but then...

"We in Liyue have recently developed a new type of street light. Would you like us to sponsor a batch for Inazuma?"

Ayato: "Why are we suddenly talking about streetlights?"

"I was just worried you'd be walking alone at night~ By the way, what styles do you two like?"

Divine Child: "Thank you, but that's not important."

Ayato: "Yes, let's talk about making money."

Zhong Gui always felt that something was off about these two people.

"What's wrong with you two? You're not money-loving people, and your families are quite wealthy."

“We are rich, but we can’t let every Inatsume person get a share.”

"???"
