Explorer of Teyvat

Liyue,

As the Hai Lantern Festival approaches, the festive atmosphere in Liyue gradually becomes more intense.

Most of the passers-by had smiles on their faces.

The annual Hai Lantern Festival is the time when the atmosphere in Liyue is at its best.

Drawing on the previous experience in Mondstadt, when Wang Daoyi led the company's people into Liyue Port this time, he had already asked them to change their clothes.

Although the style is different, it is much better for combat black armor.

At least it didn't lead to Qian Yanjun's interrogation.

"Sure enough, the architectural style here is so similar to that of Xianzhou." A company employee sighed.

"Yeah, if it wasn't confirmed that this place has nothing to do with Xianzhou, I would even think that this is the civilization left behind by Xianzhou."

The fairy boat cruises endlessly in the universe, hunting for rich and fertile creatures while also sowing the seeds of civilization.

Many civilizations that have received help from Xianzhou will subconsciously yearn for Xianzhou in terms of development goals and aesthetics.

Such similar civilizations will form unnatural convergent evolution, which is also the most commonly used method for large civilizations to be compatible with small civilizations in the universe.

In other words, many large civilizations do not want to be compatible with these small civilizations, but these small civilizations very much hope to join advanced civilizations.

In the eyes of company employees looking around,

The group passed through the prosperous Feiyun Slope and came to Chihu Rock.

The door that had been closed when Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling left was still open now.

It seems that Master Mao has returned from his trip.

The entrance of Wanmintang is bustling with people. One look at it and you can tell that business is very good.

"Dad, we are back." Xiang Ling shouted happily, and then was slightly stunned, "Hey, Senior Sister Shen He, why are you here?"

Wang Daoyi also walked into Wanmin Hall and saw Shen He, whose outfit and temperament were out of place.

"It's Miss Xiangling, oh, and you, Dao Yi, welcome, you are back." Shen He said with an indifferent look.

Her expression didn't look like she was welcoming the owner back. Instead, she looked like she was receiving a customer, and she was the worst kind of waiter.

"There is no need to say welcome to us." Xiang Ling said in a funny tone, and then asked again, "Why is Senior Sister Shen He here?"

"Gan Yu introduced me here. If you want to live in Liyue Port, you need a serious job, so Senior Sister Gan Yu recommended me to Master Mao."

Shen He still looked cold.

However, Wang Daoyi had already noticed that several diners were looking at her with obsessed eyes.

Shen He has a royal-sister-like figure and a cold look. Not only did she not dissuade these people, but she attracted more single men.

Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows and asked why Wanmintang's business was so good. It turned out to be Shen He's blessing.

Just as he was talking, Master Mao also walked out of the kitchen.

"You two little guys traveled far away without saying a word. If Shen He hadn't come to help me, I would have been too busy."

There was a hint of complaint in Master Mao's tone.

Wang Daoyi smiled: "Dad can rest for a few more days, but there is no need to open the door alone."

"That won't work. We are all old customers, so we can't let people down." Master Mao waved his hand repeatedly.

He opened the door mainly because he wanted to receive those regular customers, but Wanmin Tang's reputation was too big in Liyue.

As soon as Wanmintang opened, there was a steady stream of diners coming to eat.

Of course, Master Mao can't drive people away.

It also happened to happen that Gan Yu was helping Shen He find a job.

On the one hand, we are short of people and on the other hand, we are looking for a job.

Naturally, they hit it off immediately.

"Hey, are these your friends?" Master Mao looked at the black tower next to Wang Daoyi and the company employees behind him.

Wang Dao nodded: "They are friends who have come from afar to see the scenery of our Liyue."

He didn't explain too much to Master Mao. As long as he said he was a friend, Master Mao would naturally be very enthusiastic.

really,

I heard it was a friend coming from afar,

Master Mao suddenly became serious: "Welcome, welcome. Since we are here in Liyue, it's just right. The Sea Lantern Festival will be here in a few days. You guys must have fun. If you need anything, just talk to Dao Yi. He It can definitely be solved, come on, Shen He, help lead these friends to find an empty seat."

Master Mao gave warm hospitality and asked Shen He to help with the reception.

Then he looked at the rice cake between Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling...

"Cookba, come and help me light the fire."

Guoba: "Lulu~"

The little bear followed Master Mao into the kitchen.

"Don't worry, dad is so enthusiastic." Wang Daoyi said to Heita.

Heita: "Understandable."

Under Shen He's arrangement, he went to sit in the corner.

Several company employees looked at each other and looked at Heita: "Madam, when we came here, we saw many shops, and now we want to visit them."

Their duty is still to collect information about Teyvat. Instead of following two geniuses and listening to some unintelligible topics, it is better to go to the store and collect more information about special products.

Heita glanced at them casually: "I'm not your team leader. If you have anything to do, please do whatever you want. Of course, it's best to follow local rules."

This is not one of those primitive indigenous planets. If something happens, the genius in front of them will not help them.

The company employees nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we understand."

Then he signaled to Wang Daoyi before leaving.

Wang Daoyi was not worried about whether these people would cause trouble.

First of all, people in the company are not here to cause trouble.

Secondly, this is Liyue. I am afraid that Morax will already know it when Wang Dao brings his people in.

Wang Daoyi believes that Morax can definitely find something wrong with the employees of these companies.

No matter what they did, Morax would never take his eyes off them.

Although it seemed like he was giving Lao Deng a little extra work, Wang Dao didn't care at all.

Visitors from outside the world, Morax must also be interested,

Since you are interested, it is not a problem.

"The god of Liyue is Morax. He is also a very ancient god. He has spent more than six thousand years in the human world and has countless knowledge. I will take you to see him after lunch."

Wang Daoyi looked at the black tower.

Heita's eyes lit up and he nodded.

Although for the universe, more than six thousand years is nothing, if this time is placed on a single life alone, it is a very long time.

In the universe, even the fertile people known as the immortal species can hardly have a life span of more than 6,000 years.

But Morax, whom Wang Dao spoke of, did this, which was also a very tempting thing for the Black Tower.

After all, the Black Tower itself only relies on rejuvenation to extend its life, and it has also developed a puppet sequence to assist its actions.

Now, on an ordinary planet where even interstellar civilization has not appeared, someone has easily broken through this restriction.

"Actually, I don't need to eat." Ms. Heita couldn't wait.

Wang Daoyi smiled, looking forward to what Heita would look like when he saw Zhongli.

Wang Daoyi has never underestimated Zhongli's background.

"It's better to eat first, don't let dad down." Wang Daoyi said.

Heita curled his lips: "Okay."

…

Afternoon,

Wang Daoyi walked on the street with Ms. Heita,

This time it was just the two of them,

Xiangling and Guoba stayed in Wanmintang to help, while the company’s employees didn’t know where they were going to investigate.

Wang Daoyi thought that he might have gone to a tavern to play cards.

Taking Heita all the way to the Hall of Purity, as expected, Zhongli found out from Zhenjun Zhenjun's mouth that Zhongli had gone out early this morning and never came back.

"Maybe he went to listen to the opera or drink tea. When we came, we didn't see him in Sanwanbuigang. Now he is probably listening to the opera at Yunhan Society."

It is not difficult to judge Zhongli's daily movements. He is either drinking tea or listening to operas. It is a very regular life for an elderly person.

really,

After bringing Heita to Yunhan Society,

I saw Zhongli's figure in his old position.

"Emperor, don't you get tired of listening to the opera every day?" Wang Dao walked up to him, motioned Heita to sit down together, and then complained.

Zhongli raised his eyes and looked at him: "Didn't you notice that there were so many people coming to the theater today?"

"Huh?" Wang Daoyi looked around and saw that there were indeed more people than usual, "Yun Jin has a new show?"

"No, although Mr. Yun Jin's play is also attractive, everyone is not here for her." Zhong Li shook his head gently.

Wang Daoyi was a little surprised: "Yunhan Society has a big horn again?"

What kind of character can suppress Yun Jin?

"Haha, after all, this matter has something to do with you." Zhongli smiled.

Wang Daoyi suddenly had an idea: "Funina?"

"That's right, Ms. Funina has combined Liyue's drama with Fontaine's opera. She is currently conducting trial performances. The first few performances have been very effective, and everyone is attracted by it." Zhongli nodded.

Wang Daoyi was a little surprised. He knew that Funina's artistic level was very high, but it was still a bit shocking that she could combine different arts in such a short time.

However, despite being shocked, Wang Daoyi still did not forget to introduce it to Heita.

"Ms. Black Tower, this is the god of Liyue, but she is currently retired."

"Emperor, this is Ms. Black Tower. She comes from outside the world and comes with friendship."

In Wang Daoyi’s introduction,

Morax looked at the Black Tower with a slight smile: "There have been no outsiders in Teyvat for a long, long time. I hope the lady will like it here."

Black Tower also nodded to Morax very formally: "I have already seen the magic of this world."

The two greeted each other and then started chatting.

From the human history of Teyvat, to the movement of stars in the sky, to the use of elemental energy...

The more Heita chatted, the more excited he became, and his eyes gradually brightened when he looked at Morax.

Although I don’t know how strong the person in front of me is,

But Morax's knowledge reserve still made her very satisfied.

Although limited by Teyvat itself, some knowledge is not completely correct, but its flaws are still intact.

"You have once again refreshed my knowledge. In the universe, no planet-level civilization has ever had such a reserve of knowledge." Black Tower sighed,

Wang Daoyi still smiled calmly: "I said that the development of civilization in Teyvat is unreasonable."

Zhongli also nodded: "Under the rule of gods, the development of civilization often has outstanding points, but the defects that follow are inevitable. Just like I have taken care of Liyue for more than 3,700 years, but this Within 3,700 years, Liyue's civilization has not achieved leapfrog development, but only a few years after I faked my death, Liyue's development began to advance by leaps and bounds."

After a pause, Zhongli sighed with emotion: "The blessing of the gods is both a blessing and a restriction."

Under what circumstances will human beings unleash their greatest potential?

The answer is dangerous situations,

In the face of crises in the international situation, human countries often burst out with amazing development capabilities.

In the face of personal crisis, individuals usually burst out with extraordinary strength.

After the Demon God War, the gods built a stable and safe environment for mankind.

Although it has enabled human civilization to enter stable development, it has also caused mankind to lose its sense of crisis.

Until the outbreak of the Kanria War, the Ice God, who had witnessed despair and pain, projected his noble dream to his people.

The people of Solstice felt the charm of the Queen's great dream, and at the same time understood the danger of what they were doing,

Zhidong's technical capabilities began to advance by leaps and bounds,

On the contrary, Xumi,

Under the protection of the legacy of the Great Merciful Tree King, Xumi basically had no sense of crisis, so the wisdom of the Kingdom of Wisdom actually stagnated.

"Well, I think it still depends on the god himself." Wang Daoyi had a different view, "I led the desert, and it developed well."

The development of the desert people is very smooth.

From fragmented tribal civilizations to unified alliances, and now to the current state of one country and two systems in Sumeru,

Under the leadership of Wang Daoyi, the desert people achieved a true civilizational leap.

From being poorly fed and poorly clothed, to now being able to develop spaceships,

This level of leap is simply astonishing.

"That's because you are of human origin. You fully understand and know what human development requires. You have seen more advanced forms of civilization, so you can confirm that you have not taken the wrong path."

Zhongli said softly,

"But do you know how I led Liyue here? In the past 3,700 years, every time I formulated Liyue's development policy, I would not have a long-term plan, just to make adjustments at any time. The so-called "Inviting Immortal Code" Yi is just to facilitate me to adjust Liyue's development route at any time."

"Even if I work diligently, Liyue can only ensure food, clothing, housing and transportation. A more advanced social form is far away."

With that said, Zhongli looked at the Black Tower: "Madam, is there any civilization in the universe that can develop to its peak by relying on one person's will?"

"I don't think so." Before Heita could answer, Zhongli continued speaking on his own, "I have learned about the civilizations and forms of power in the universe. The power is called Destiny. Its end is the Star God, and the Star Gods cannot escape the influence of destiny. In other words, the development of a single will will definitely become more and more independent in the end. Star God is the ultimate of "independence", but the development of civilization requires "wholeness", so personal will You can lead civilization forward, but you cannot lead civilization to its peak.”

"The current situation in Teyvat is that the will of the seven rulers leads mankind forward. In the beginning, it was the gods who naturally led the mankind, but as time went by, it became the gods who imprisoned the mankind."

"Human beings develop from generation to generation, and ideologies evolve very quickly. However, as gods exist forever, ideologies gradually become fixed. It is undoubtedly a joke to use fixed consciousness to lead evolving consciousness."

Zhongli's words always made sense, as if he was the one who witnessed it all.

"It makes perfect sense. In the universe, although the top forces have the influence of the Star God behind them, in fact there are still people in the forces who are walking on other paths of destiny." Black Tower fully agreed with Zhongli's statement.

for example,

One of the followers of Harvest Medicine Master, Harvest Folk.

Logically speaking, if they follow the medicine master, they should practice the many concepts of healing, altruism, selflessness, etc. in the Way of Abundance.

But in fact, not only did the people of Fengfeng not practice the way of Fengfeng, but they looted everywhere and became one of the biggest scourges in the universe.

It can be seen that in the civilization of the Fenfu people, many people did not walk on the road of prosperity, but chose other paths of destiny.

Abundance is only the source of their strength, but it is not the only way they practice.

And this behavior of stepping on many boats has made the Fengrao people become one of the largest forces in the universe.

Therefore, a single ideology cannot lead civilization to its peak. Peak civilization requires diversified means.

Civilization needs [Wholeness], and Star God is the real [Single].

"Okay, you're right." Wang Daoyi shrugged.

As Zhongli said, he can lead the desert people to rise. One is because the foundation of the desert people is really poor. No matter what they do, they are still developing. The other is that he knows what to do right from the beginning.

His deeds of leading the desert people are essentially a direct copy of the answer, and are not considered normal gods leading human beings.

"Well, Ms. Funina is here." Zhongli said suddenly.

On the stage, the curtain opened, the supporting characters were villains with facial makeup, and Ms. Funina came on stage from the other side.

"Eh? Eye of God?" Wang Daoyi suddenly discovered that Funina had an Eye of God on her waist.

"A few days ago, Ms. Funina went back to Fontaine. The traveler took her back. When she came back from Fontaine, she had it. She also collaborated with Yun Jin to rehearse this new play." Zhong Li said .

He hangs out in the theater every day, so he knows a lot about these things.

Of course, it might be Fu Nina's identity that makes Zhongli always look at her.

On the stage, Funina had already spoken.

Beautiful voices sing the story of the play.

Wang Dao listened with one ear,

Basically, it is a story about a man and a woman falling in love.

Boys are normal humans, but girls are water elves.

It was a story that was originally very beautiful, but in the end, a disaster occurred on the land, the river dried up, and people wanted to sacrifice the girl in order to survive.

It sounds a bit like the story of Fontaine's pure water elf, but there should be some localization adaptations for Liyue.

Wang Daoyi heard the lines of immortals appearing several times.

"Surprisingly good."

When the song ended, Wang Daoyi followed everyone in applause,

"Her voice is very resonant." Heita also said.

With her synesthetic beacon, she can understand the meaning in plays and songs.

"She should be a big star in Pinocchio too."
