Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

Tiwat, Sumeru, Kawan Station.

Inside an extremely luxurious villa, a dozen or so gilded tour groups were discussing matters.

"Boss, just give the order, and I'll lead a dozen of my brothers to become executioners and chop that orphaned and disrespectful official, Seno, into mincemeat!"

“That’s right! Damn, a sheep sells for 500,000 Mora. We brothers sold all the ancestral tablets of the tribe’s 1,600 households to Lord Sanggomahabai for only 50 million Mora. That’s enough to buy a hundred sheep?”

"We swore an oath before our people before we set out on this campaign that when we return, every household will have at least ten sheep, and everyone will be able to eat milk curd and drink hot sheep's milk!"

"The Rainforest People's offer was unreasonable to begin with, and Sino is even helping them..."

"The chieftain's twin blades are sharp, and with our sneak attack, Seno will surely..."

At that moment, a soft voice rang out: "With your sneak attack, Seno will definitely have a great time killing!"

The group of fierce-looking burly men turned around and saw a short figure slowly descending the spiral staircase. This person was none other than Dori Sangomahabai, the lady they were talking about.

Dolly, the owner of the Eye of Thor, has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds throughout the entire Sumeru realm.

As Dolly walked, she toyed with a golden memorial tablet in her hand: "Ivan, this is the heirloom of your tribe. Are you sure you want to sell it to me?"

Ivan was the "leader" or "chief" in the Gilded Brigade's words. This muscular man was sitting by the window, smoking a cigarette.

“What kind of inheritance is a memorial tablet? I’ve always believed that the dead must make way for the living… Also, Mr. Bai, please call me ‘The Clever Afanti.’”

Dolly shrugged: "It doesn't matter. Even if you're called the 'Great Tree King,' you won't earn an extra Mora from Lord Sanggomahabai!"

Ivan, whose full name is Ivan Rurik, is the chieftain of the Moscow tribe and a time traveler from Earth.

After his father, Varisi Rurik, died, Ivan took over the responsibility of leading the tribe.

The Moscow tribe is located in the western part of the Blade Forest of Fuluoyu, far from the rainforest, but they have to come here to trade.

Because the western barren desert is almost uninhabited, although you can go to Fontainebleau to the east, the eastern part of the Blade Forest is the territory of the Hilichurls, and the other roads are almost impossible for camels, pack animals and horses to travel.

After Ivan came to power, based on his childhood experience of tending the land, he found that the oasis where the tribe lived was barren and only suitable for growing tobacco, pasture, and date palms. So he began large-scale tobacco cultivation and then traded it in the rainforest.

He took over the position of tribal chief at the age of 15, and it has been three years since then.

During these three years, Ivan adopted a nomadic lifestyle, distributing all the tribe's public property and his personal assets to purchase cotton sheep, which were then raised by each household, ensuring that people could consume dairy products and that the sheep were not allowed to be slaughtered regularly.

To this day, even the smallest household has four sheep, but there are still people in the tribe who don't have enough to eat.

In addition, Ivan wanted the children in the tribe to learn to read and write, so he gritted his teeth and made a tough decision to add "guerrilla warfare" to the tribe's main policy of "nomadism".

Three years of nomadic life could not feed the tribe, but three years of guerrilla warfare certainly could!

This time, Ivan was determined to fight to the death, so he went all out and confiscated money from the tribe to exchange for sheep.

Ivan discovered that almost all the ancestral tablets in these families were gilded...

After gathering his elite soldiers, Ivan, under the watchful eyes of his entire tribe of over ten thousand, swore to the Red King Ahmar that when he returned, he would ensure that every household had ten sheep and that everyone could eat their fill of dairy products.

The tribesmen then reluctantly handed over their gilded ancestral tablets.

When Ivan arrived, he brought with him 150 of the tribe's most elite men, led by 15 of his trusted confidants who had grown up with him, and they made their way to Kavan Station.

On the way here, in order to ensure that his warhorses could graze, Ivan traveled along the border between the desert and the rainforest after leaving the Dew Flower Sea.

At the border, Ivan saw merchants transporting books...

Knowing that most of the tribe members were illiterate, he hardened his heart and robbed them.

To prevent the news from leaking out and causing utter destruction, Ivan ordered everyone to be killed, including the merchant's three-year-old daughter.

Timur of Transoxiana, Ivan's most powerful confidant, immediately questioned, "The rules of the desert do not allow the killing of children shorter than a cartwheel!"

Ivan immediately kicked the wheel of the carriage carrying the books off the ground, making it lie flat on the ground.

"Now he's taller than a wheel."

Although the Moscow tribe mainly produces tobacco, Ivan hardly smokes.

After arriving at Kavan Station, Ivan started taking more frequent cigarettes.

Because Sino discovered the dead merchant.

Ivan is sad!

In his past life, when Ivan played Genshin Impact, he thought Cyno was a miracle, a DPS character with Electro talent and Elemental Mastery?

However, in Teyvat, Ceno's Elemental Burst manifests as a lightning-covered jackal phantom around his body. The materialization of elements requires Elemental Mastery!

In his early years, when Ivan accompanied his father to the Kavan trade post, he witnessed Seno chasing and killing a gilded caravan of several hundred people.

In ten minutes, hundreds of people were dead. Even the Demon Rock Servant with the highest defense couldn't withstand more than two moves from him.

When Seno, covered in blood, appeared before Ivan, it had a tremendous impact on Ivan's young mind.

Ivan was not afraid of Cyno, and having lived a long life, he was even less afraid of death.

But first and foremost, he was the chief of the tribe, and only then a man; he also had about ten thousand people to support.

To escape the sheep and the search by Seno, Ivan and his men hid in the accommodations provided by Dolly.

Ivan was thinking to himself, maybe he should go out and rob another batch. Over the years, Ivan and his gang had been farmers with hoes, gilded guilds with machetes, and herdsmen cracking whips at their flocks of sheep.

The main focus is on a flexible position.

Dolly looked at the group of disgruntled, burly men and couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Stop, stop, stop! Who do you think that is? That's Seno!"

"Who is Senona? He is the most capable disciple of the scholar Gülesh!"

"Even if Gülesh asked Seno to kill his own father and mother, Seno wouldn't even flinch!"

"If all of us in this house attacked together, one shot from him would leave us owing him two lives."

As Dolly spoke, some of the people who had witnessed Cyno killing also began to tell their companions about Cyno's immense power.

The crowd gritted their teeth and roared angrily:

"First it was the group of thirty, then the desert scholars, and now even the descendants of the Red King's priests have sided with the rainforest people!"

"These traitors!"

"There's an old saying in Liyue: 'If your head falls to the ground, you'll only have a scar the size of a bowl.' I'll go fight him to the death..."

Although they were talking, no one moved.

Because Ivan did not give the order.

After Ivan became chieftain and implemented a series of reforms, the lives of his people improved significantly, and his prestige surpassed that of his father, Varisi. Otherwise, the people would not have relinquished the ancestral tablets, which were considered their spiritual pillar.

Dolly was in a great mood after receiving the ancestral tablet, especially since Ivan, a regular customer, hadn't charged her for her stay.

Besides being gilded, the memorial tablets of the desert people are also engraved with various ancient desert scripts by the tribal shamans. After the gold dust is removed, the tablets are sold to the Order of the Nativity, generating another source of income, which can easily fetch at least 500 million Mora.

But seeing these guys eating and living on her property, Dolly felt a pang of heartache again.

But is this bastard the type to suffer a loss?

Whenever the septic tank truck passed by her house, Dolly would climb up to taste it for a couple of bites.

Dolly's eyes darted around, and she slowly said to the crowd, "Gentlemen, I have a plan that will allow you to obtain twenty thousand sheep..."
