Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Xu Ning and Ye Lan strolled leisurely along the streets of Chihuyan.

"It feels like it's been a long time since I last strolled through a night market here, since I accompanied Ningguang and Beidou shopping last month."

Xu Ning looked around with some emotion, "It seems like there are many more night stalls around here than before, and the variety of food and entertainment has also increased."

Ye Lan asked with a smile, "Why don't you guess whose credit this is?"

Xu Ning hadn't expected Ye Lan to ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, he guessed, "Could it be Ning Guang?"

"Hehe, I thought you would say it was your own achievement!"

Xu Ning asked with a surprised smile, "How could this be related to me?"

"Do you remember the game the four of us played that night? Ningguang later named it 'Liyue Millennium'."

"After playing it once, Ningguang thought the game you proposed was too simple, so she added a little bit of content and rules, including this time the sea patrol and the decline of the fishing industry, which she put into the unexpected events."

"As for the subsequent impact, she also referenced your grid-based management model for all regions in the game, and relocated all the affected population. She used various means such as guidance, training, and credit sales to create new side jobs in order to reduce the impact of the disaster on ordinary fishermen's families."

"Wait a minute," Xu Ning said, somewhat confused, "Are we still talking about the content of the game 'Liyue Millennium'?"

Ye Lan laughed and said, "I knew you would ask that. Ning Guang said that all living beings are just playing a game in this world that they cannot turn back from. So the increasingly prosperous scene you see now is just Ning Guang adding a little bit of fancy content to the game she is playing."

Xu Ning nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ningguang has now stepped out of the chessboard and become the player, so the day when she becomes one of the Seven Stars is not far off."

Ye Lan scoffed, "I've heard Ningguang tell me everything that happened after he met you. In my opinion, you're the one who's manipulating the game, like a mastermind behind the scenes. Isn't Ningguang gradually moving towards the Seven Stars according to your plan?"

Xu Ning shook his head and denied it, saying, "You overestimate me. I know nothing about business or the authority of the Seven Stars."

"But I have one good point: I like to entrust things I don't understand to people who do, and I just do my best to protect and support them."

Xu Ning looked at Ye Lan, "Isn't that exactly what you're doing?"

Ye Lan snorted, "I only work for Ningguang out of interest; everything else is just incidental."

As the two were about to leave Chihu Rock, they passed a shop.

Ye Lan pointed in that direction subtly.

He whispered to Xu Ning, "This teahouse is actually a gambling den for wealthy merchants and dignitaries."

"But as far as I know, this is actually a stronghold of the Winter Kingdom, and many Fools have secretly entered and exited this place."

Xu Ning glanced over there curiously and saw that it was "Yanshang Tea House".

However, there were no two guards at the door, and it was unknown whether the person standing at the window was the "arrogant at first but respectful later" Miss Chu.

"If I have the chance, I might go in and see for myself."

Xu Ning smiled and continued walking forward.

"Huh? I thought you were going to say you'd take it down when you had time!" Ye Lan said, feigning surprise.

Xu Ning chuckled, "It was just a hidden spy, but now it's become an open spy. Isn't that a good thing? Besides, what makes you think I'd make a move? I'm the one who calls the shots in Liyue now!"

Ye Lan didn't answer, but silently thought to herself, "It's not up to you now, but who knows what will happen in the future!"

After entering Yujingtai and passing Lotus Pond, turn right and you will see a magnificent building.

This is the "Bu Bu Lu" where Bai Zhu is located.

"Wow, that's quite a generous gesture! Giving away such a huge house like that just like that. These rich people always manage to redefine my understanding of wealth!"

Xu Ning sighed and stepped into the Bubu Lu.

Several guests were getting their medicine at the inn. As soon as Xu Ning and Ye Lan entered, a young man immediately came to greet them.

"Sir, would you like to see a doctor or get medicine?"

Xu Ning waved his hand, "Neither. I'm Bai Shu's friend. I came here specifically to chat with him and also to see Qi Qi."

"Oh, Mr. Bai is seeing a patient in the back; he should be out soon. Miss Qiqi is sorting herbs in the pharmacy in the back, but..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Xu Ning understood that he was afraid that if Qi Qi met with guests in the front hall, it would startle some of the people who came here for treatment.

"Hmph, my Qiqi is so cute, how could anyone be scared? Oh well, I'll just go to the pharmacy..."

Just then, Bai Zhu brought out two guests from the inner room.

Xu Ning recognized one of them; it was Uncle Tian.

The two exchanged glances, and Xu Ning had no choice but to step forward, cup his hands in greeting, and ask, "Uncle Tian, ​​is something wrong with you...?"

Uncle Tian smiled and waved his hand, "I'm fine, I'm just here with this friend."

Xu Ning saw the person standing next to him, dressed in luxurious and extravagant clothes, and knew his identity perfectly well.

However, Xu Ning was thinking of Qi Qi and had no intention of talking to him. He simply bowed and said a polite word.

"I was saying the other day that I'd like to chat with you sometime, but you just disappeared for two days. Now that you're back, how about we meet at Yu Tea House tomorrow night?"

Ah, an invitation from the Seven Stars!

Last time, Xu Ning thought that Uncle Tian's so-called chat was just polite talk, but he didn't expect that Uncle Tian was serious.

Although I always felt that I had nothing to talk about with him, I had to give him face for Ningguang's sake.

Xu Ning quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I will definitely be waiting for you at Heyu Teahouse tomorrow night."

Seeing the respect in Xu Ning's words, Uncle Tian laughed and said, "It's just a casual chat, don't take it too seriously. We two old folks are going to wander around some more. You two go about your business, we'll be going now."

As Uncle Tian and his companion left, the rich man turned around and glanced again at Xu Ning, who was following Bai Shu toward the back room.

"Is this the little guy you mentioned to me last time? He's neither arrogant nor humble, and his manners are impeccable. Would you like to offer him a position?"

Uncle Tian chuckled and said, "I would like to give it to him, but I'm afraid he might not accept it. If we were to follow his wishes and give the position to Ningguang, that girl, that would be more to his liking."

"This kid is so young, yet he's already got the attitude of 'I'd rather die in a world of wine and flowers.' Even this arrangement was made by Ningguang at my request. I just hope he can change this personality. It would be a blessing for us and for Liyue."
