In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

Seeing Bai Mu's indifferent attitude, the Great Tree King didn't say anything more.

She directly picked up the can of knowledge from Bai Mu's hand and smacked Bai Mu on the head.

"Snapped"

The canned knowledge shattered instantly, and the pale green halo within flowed into Bai Mu's mind under the control of the Great Tree King.

Shiraki felt as if he had some other memories in his mind, but if he didn't look at them, they would just be memories.

There was absolutely no feeling of knowledge being instilled into my brain.

Shiraki couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of this canned knowledge.

But logically it shouldn't be fake, since the Great Tree King has already checked it, so it's impossible that even she made a wrong judgment, right?

Bai Mu reported this problem to the Great Tree King.

The Great Tree King was also clueless about this. After all, the World Tree couldn't record the information about the White Tree, so the Great Tree King couldn't make a judgment about the White Tree's situation.

However, it is certain that Shiraki seems unable to use canned knowledge normally.

This left Shiraki speechless, as another option for illegal immigration had been lost.

"Sigh, let's go, let's go back to Liyue first."

Because the canned knowledge could not be used properly, Bai Mu's mood plummeted. He had originally planned to take another trip to the desert, but he has now given up on that idea.

Bai Mu opened a spatial portal beside him and entered it first, followed closely by the Great Compassion Tree King.

Although she still had some distrust of Shiraki's spatial teleportation technology, she sensed that the other side of the portal was indeed Liyue, and even if the position was slightly off, it wouldn't be too far off.

Liyue Harbor.

The other end of the white wooden door leads to his own general store.

Although his long-distance teleportation technology wasn't very good, there were special markers in his general store. Shiraki could easily find the location of his general store by using these markers.

The grocery store was still open for business at that time.

Zhong Li sat in front of the counter reading a book, looking like an old man.

Sensing Bai Mu's arrival, Zhong Li raised his eyelids slightly, but when he saw the Great Kindred Tree King behind Bai Mu, a look of shock was visibly revealed in his eyes.

"how did you do it?"

Zhong Li’s somewhat shocked voice came from behind the counter.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mu replied with a proud expression:

"I, Bai Mu, am a capable person!"

Zhong Li: "..."

The Great Compassion Tree King: "..."

Afterwards, Bai Mu roughly recounted his experience in Sumeru to Zhong Li.

However, he did not mention that he got lost or that he used Zhongli's Divine Heart to deceive people.

"That's right."

Zhongli stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"So, did you achieve your goal in going to Sumeru this time?"

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Bai Mu suddenly realized that his main purpose for going to Sumeru—to complete the "authority"—seemed to have made no progress at all.

"Sigh, I can't figure it out."

Bai Mu pulled over a chair and sat down beside him, sighing.

"I think it's because you're too lazy."

The voice of the Great Tree King came from behind Bai Mu, ruthlessly exposing Bai Mu's lie.

Bai Mu's problem wasn't because he had no clue; it was simply because he was too lazy to explore and research his own "authority."

When she first met Shiraki, Shiraki asked her about his "authority," and the Great Tree King genuinely thought that Shiraki had no clue.

Later, Shiraki used his "authority" to help her suppress the forbidden knowledge within her body, and she was so moved that she didn't think much of it.

However, after several days of contact, the Great Tree King saw through Shiroki's personality and gradually discovered some of the clues from before.

He could have taught him the knowledge himself, but he insisted on using canned knowledge. Back in the World Tree space, Shiraki could have perfected his "authority" by getting close to the World Tree, but he left instead.

Originally, the Great Tree King hadn't thought much of it, but after the incident involving the canned knowledge, he realized that perhaps Shiraki hadn't studied "authority" simply because he was lazy, rather than the deceptive nonsense he had just said about "having no clue".

The Great Tree King explained his thoughts in detail. Since everyone present was of similar status, there was nothing shameful about it.

Moreover, even if Bai Mu loses face, what does it have to do with the Great Compassion Tree King?

"Well, I didn't waste time researching these things because I was worried about the forbidden knowledge within you."

Bai Mu offered a pretext for his argument.

Both the Great Compassion Tree King and Zhongli chose to ignore Bai Mu's sophistry.

"By the way, Zhongli, how's the business at my little shop these past few days?"

Seeing that the two of them were ignoring him, Bai Mu had no choice but to change the subject and start asking Zhong Li about the business of his shop.

"Well, I'm a living, breathing person, don't I need to eat and drink every day?"

Upon hearing Bai Mu bring up the issue of profitability, Zhong Li, who had been calm and collected, suddenly began to speak slowly.

Seeing this, Bai Mu thought, "Well, it seems that not only have I not made any money these past few days, but I've also lost quite a bit."

He didn't think Zhongli was behaving this way because he hadn't sold anything.

When Shiraki returned, he noticed that a lot of things were missing from his shop.

These must be the ones Zhongli sold in the last few days.

As for why so many have been sold in the past few days, it's mainly due to Zhongli's prestigious brand.

In Liyue Harbor, everyone knows that Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, is extremely knowledgeable. He is a golden brand in Baimu's shop, and his ability to drive sales is outstanding.

The only downside is that this glossed over has taken away both Bai Mu's principal and interest.

"Zhongli! I was wondering why I hadn't seen you lately. Turns out you've been hiding here."

Just then, a shout suddenly rang out from the doorway.

The sound grew louder as it approached, and with that shout, Hu Tao appeared in Bai Mu's shop.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Bai? What are you doing here?"

Taking advantage of the fact that Hu Tao's attention was currently drawn to Bai Mu, Zhong Li, who was sitting behind the counter, quickly gave Bai Mu a meaningful look.

"Help me distract the sect leader, and I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Shiraki understood immediately and returned a glance.

Three meals.

"it is good!"

Zhongli nodded without hesitation.

This made Bai Mu feel like he hadn't said enough. Zhong Li must have made a lot of money from him these past few days, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

However, Bai Mu did not raise the price further, but instead began to deal with Hu Tao.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Li, who was behind the counter, quickly slipped out through the back door.

The Great Compassion Tree King watched in stunned silence, only one question on her mind:

Are all the gods in Liyue this abstract?
