Hearing Lumine's complaint, Jiang Chen shrugged.
"I prefer Liyue over Mondstadt."
"There's nothing more to say."
"Mondstadt is too free."
"And Liyue feels like my hometown."
"They're just not comparable."
Because Liyue feels like home, Jiang Chen likes it here.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Hearing this, Lumine had no retort.
Mondstadt lost because it didn't feel like Jiang Chen's hometown.
"If Jiang Chen becomes one of the Qixing, will he have more money?"
"And get to eat all kinds of delicious food?"
"I heard the Liyue Qixing are very powerful."
Paimon looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity.
The Liyue Qixing are second only to the Geo Archon in Liyue.
If Jiang Chen becomes one of the Qixing, can he eat whatever he wants in the future?
Thinking of this, Paimon couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
So nice!
"Eat, eat, eat! Is that all you think about?"
"Can't you think of something else?"
Hearing Paimon's words, Lumine rolled her eyes in exasperation.
This silly girl, is food the only thing on her mind?
Becoming one of the Liyue Qixing means you can eat all kinds of things?
If you say that out loud, people will laugh at you.
Is your perspective really that narrow?
Why not say that Jiang Chen, as one of the Qixing, can take as much money as he wants from Liyue?
If you don't take it, and I don't take it, how will Liyue develop?
If Jiang Chen knew what Lumine was thinking, he would definitely exclaim, "Good grief!"
Dude, you haven't even started as one of the Qixing yet, and you're already thinking about embezzlement?
It has to be said, this is really ridiculous.
"Are we still going to find someone?"
Lumine decided to ignore Paimon and instead asked Jiang Chen.
With things developing like this, Jiang Chen is about to become one of the Qixing.
So, are we still going to get land and build a villa?
"Yes!"
"One thing at a time."
"Let's go!"
"To Yujing Terrace."
After saying this, Jiang Chen got up and went to pay the bill.
When you eat with Zhongli, you have to be prepared to foot the bill.
Just as Jiang Chen was heading to Yujing Terrace, Zhongli arrived in front of Tian Shu Xing, Uncle Tian.
By now, Zhongli had changed into his divine attire.
Seeing this person suddenly appear before him, Uncle Tian was startled.
"Greetings, Lord Morax!"
Uncle Tian hurriedly bowed.
This attire, this aura of power.
It could only be the Geo Archon.
"I've found you a successor."
Zhongli didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Uncle Tian was surprised.
The Geo Archon is appointing the next Tian Shu Xing?
"Good!"
He was already at retirement age.
Originally, he had been thinking about who to choose.
But he hadn't expected the Geo Archon to have already decided.
Now he didn't need to worry.
"He just arrived in Liyue."
"Go and meet him."
"Also, inform the other Qixing about this."
"After the Rite of Descension, he will take your position."
"At that time, I will have some arrangements."
Zhongli explained some of the upcoming plans.
Hearing Zhongli's words, Uncle Tian looked serious.
"I understand."
"I will make the necessary arrangements."
Zhongli nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Zhongli shared some information about Jiang Chen.
He told Uncle Tian to go and meet Jiang Chen when the time came.
After saying this, he left.
The rest would be handled by them.
When the time came for the Rite of Descension, he would make the official announcement.
After meeting Jiang Chen, he no longer planned to retire so soon.
Because there were still many things he hadn't finished.
As Jiang Chen had said, a semi-retired state was the best.
Take it slow.
Retiring all at once was too hasty.
Based on the future Jiang Chen had seen, his plan had succeeded.
But how the future would unfold was still uncertain.
Now, with Jiang Chen's appearance, he saw a better future.
Someone from another world, with considerable power and unique insights.
Even if he wasn't a professional, his perspective from another world could elevate Liyue to new heights.
Let's see what changes Jiang Chen will bring to Liyue.
It was precisely because of this that Zhongli decided to make Jiang Chen the Tian Shu Xing.
He would only be responsible for planning, and the people below would execute.
If the Liyue Qixing cooperated well, there would be no problems.
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen wasn't paying attention to all of this.
He had already brought Lumine and Paimon to Yujing Terrace.
However, after asking around, they found out that Keqing wasn't here.
It seemed like they had come for nothing.
So, Jiang Chen took Lumine to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Arriving here, Jiang Chen finally found Keqing.
Keqing was at the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Jiang Chen didn't need to go to Yuehai Pavilion anymore.
After explaining his purpose, Jiang Chen finally met Keqing.
"You want to buy land?"
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's request, Keqing immediately met with them.
When Keqing saw Jiang Chen, she was also surprised.
She had seen many handsome men.
But she had never seen someone as handsome as Jiang Chen.
At the same time, Jiang Chen was also looking at Keqing.
Ah, Keqing is amazing.
Keqing's legs are so nice.
Keqing's cat ears are also great.
I want to pinch them!
"That's right, I want to buy land."
Jiang Chen calmly observed Keqing while answering her question.
Hearing this, Keqing immediately unfolded a map.
"Which area? How big?"
Keqing was very efficient.
If possible, it was best to get things done quickly.
Jiang Chen glanced at the map and then shook his head.
"Not in Liyue Harbor."
The map Keqing had unfolded was of Liyue Harbor.
But the place he wanted wasn't here.
Hearing this, Keqing was stunned.
"Huh?"
"Not in Liyue Harbor?"
Keqing looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
Someone wants to buy land outside of Liyue Harbor?
"Is it Qiaoying Village or Qingce Village?"
At this point, she frowned.
"No."
"I want Yaoguang Shoal."
Jiang Chen smiled as he stated his request.
This answer really surprised Keqing.
"Yaoguang Shoal?"
"That place is practically deserted. Why would you buy land there?"
Keqing looked Jiang Chen up and down.
Is this guy's thought process okay?
Buying land in such a place?
What's the reasoning behind this?
"I just like that kind of place."
"Besides, I think it might develop in the future."
"After all, Liyue Harbor has limited land."
"In the future, development will definitely expand outward."
"Liyue Harbor's land is scarce and expensive. It's hard to find a good spot."
"So, I might as well choose a place I like that also has development potential."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Keqing's eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea."
"I also think Liyue Harbor is too small."
"But expanding outward isn't that simple."
"You need to be mentally prepared."
Although she agreed with Jiang Chen's perspective, she still had to give him a fair warning.
