Chapter 222 Work
"Brother Fu, wuwuwu! Brother Fu! How am I going to live without you..."
Inazuma, a branch of Northland Bank, Liu Bai was crying bitterly on the notice of Northland Bank’s closure.
Why did Northland Bank go bankrupt out of the blue?
"Okay, okay, stop crying. Only Inazuma's North Country Bank is closed. It's probably because of the lockdown."
Nashida pulled Liu Bai and made him bend down, holding his head and patting his back gently to comfort him.
She glanced at the details in the notice and roughly guessed the reason why Northland Bank had closed down.
The isolation order made it difficult for merchant ships to travel, and the North Country Bank had no external capital injection. In addition, the local economic fluctuations caused by the isolation order forced the Inazuma Branch to suspend operations, and the resumption time is tentatively determined.
Although Zhidong also masters teleportation technology, the distance is limited and cross-sea teleportation is not currently supported.
"Is that so? But seeing Brother Fu lose money is more painful than having my money stolen."
Liu Bai wiped away her tears and said.
Finally, with Nashida's comfort, Liu Bai calmed down a little.
Then the two of them found a noodle shop and sat down to eat. Inazuma’s ramen tasted very good.
"Yeah... By the way, girl, I'm going to work soon. You can walk around the city by yourself. If someone bullies you, remember to tell me."
While eating ramen, Liu Bai explained to Nashida.
"Well, the same goes for you. If someone is thinking about you... remember to tell me if they want to bully you."
Narcida nodded.
Although she knew where the Thunder God was, she felt that if she took Liu Bai directly into the castle tower to ask the Thunder God for the God's Heart, it might lead to a fight between them...
As one of the Seven Rulings, she naturally could not help the Fatui to seize the Heart of God due to the international friendship between Sumire and Inazuma.
After all, Nashida didn't know that Liu Bai had met Ying in Zhidong long before going to Fontaine.
Similarly, Liu Bai himself didn't know.
"Don't worry, girl. I will bully back anyone who bullies me."
Liu Bai patted his chest and said.
"Okay, I'll give you a shrimp as a reward."
Nashida smiled and handed the shrimps from the bowl to Liu Bai.
"Girl, it's wrong to be picky about food."
Liu Bai said subconsciously.
"Well, peel it for me and I'll eat it."
……
After giving Nashida some money to spend as she pleased, Liu Bai began his own work, which was to find a way to obtain the Heart of the God of Thunder.
But Liu Bai soon ran into a dilemma. Apart from Liyue, he had not gained any experience in Xumi and Fontaine. After all, his father was with him in Fontaine, and the plans were all made by her.
And Xumi doesn't need to look for the Grass God, because the Grass God is right beside me.
Therefore, the experiences of Xumi and Fontaine cannot be used as a reference. Since he doesn't know where the Thunder God is, Liu Bai can only use Liyue's experience as a reference.
So what did you do before meeting the Geogod in Liyue?
Liu Bai stood on the side of the road and thought for a long time...
"Shall we have hot pot tonight or... um?"
Liu Bai felt something when he was halfway through thinking, and raised his head to look at the man who was walking towards him stealthily.
"Ahahaha, um, um, I'm just passing by."
The muscular man with horns on his head quickly hid something behind his back, touched the back of his head with one hand and smiled awkwardly.
After saying that, the other party turned around and ran away.
"Damn it, I lost the bet this time. Can I treat you tonight?"
"But Boss, where are you going to get Mora's treat?"
"Ahem... After dinner tonight, I'll wash your bowls as well."
"So the boss has already assumed that we won't have Mora pay for our meal, and that I'll be left behind to wash the dishes to pay for it..."
Liu Bai could still hear the other party's conversation after they turned the corner.
Having his train of thought interrupted like this, Liu Bai couldn't remember what he wanted to eat.
"Forget it, work is more important. Since our allies can lure out Brother Zhongli, we have to start with the person that Lei Shen is most familiar with..."
Thinking of this, Liu Bai nodded.
However, he knew nothing about the history of Inazuma, so he could only ask passers-by.
"Hello, may I ask what Thor is most familiar with..."
"Go away, go away, where did you come from to beg for food? Go beg somewhere else."
"?"
Liu Bai scratched his head and had to ask other people.
It seems that due to the influence of the closed-door policy, many Inazuma people have a bad attitude towards foreigners.
What puzzled Liu Bai was that these people always looked at him strangely, but Liu Bai didn't know why.
"Who is the General most familiar with? Uh... maybe it's the General Kujo Sara, the Supreme Commander of the Tenryo Bugyo?"
"No, no... I remembered that there is also Lady Yae of Narugami Taisha. It is said that she is a relative of the Shogun."
Finally, a roadside snack stall owner saw that Liu Bai had almost bought all the snacks on the stall, and immediately answered Liu Bai's questions enthusiastically.
"Followers of Thundergod..."
Liu Bai muttered to himself and began to combine his experience in Liyue.
"Although my allies are not Zhongli's followers, perhaps we can follow their example..."
Liu Bai thought about it and quickly came up with this idea.
Afterwards, he asked the stall owner about the location of the Naruto-taisha Shrine, and Liu Bai then left Inazuma Castle with a bunch of snacks while eating.
However, in today's era, a person like Liu Bai who comes to the wilderness alone with no defense and only carrying food on his body will inevitably be attacked by warriors who have become bandits. These warriors are also called Yabushi.
"..."
Liu Bai was drinking milk tea in one hand and holding a grilled bird skewer in the other, not caring about being surrounded by the ambushers.
His contempt made Nobushige feel insulted, and he chopped down Liu Bai without hesitation with his samurai swords in both hands.
[↑Bronze Head: Reduces head damage by 20%]
The samurai sword shattered into pieces on Liu Bai's head, but Liu Bai looked unharmed.
"Let's play while we're at it."
Liu Bai lightly slashed the Yakitori skewer in his hand, and a ray of sword energy leaped out in the air, cutting off the ten fingers of all the ambushers around him in the blink of an eye, making them lose the ability to hold the knife.
The noboru who lost his fingers covered his hands and wailed in fear, while Liu Bai looked up at the highest mountain that the stall owner had just mentioned, Yingxiang Mountain.
On top of this mountain is the Narugami Taisha Shrine.
When he got here, Liu Bai casually threw out the bamboo stick he used to pick his teeth after eating the skewers, stepped on the bamboo stick and flew towards Yingxiang Mountain.
"There seems to be something underneath...": ""
Liu Bai lowered his head to look at the area at the foot of the mountain where the color was obviously off and muttered.
But he didn't care. Instead, he flew to the top of the mountain and observed the situation inside the Naruto-taisha Shrine.
"Oh, Miss Miko... Next time, give the little girl a set of clothes to wear..."
Looking at the busy maidens in the shrine, Liu Bai was somewhat tempted.
Now that Nashida follows him, she basically changes into clothes from that country wherever she goes, and Liu Bai thinks whatever she wears is cute.
Afterwards, Liu Bai's attention fell on the most conspicuous huge cherry tree in Naruto Taisha Shrine.
Strangely enough, this cherry tree looks like a fox.
In front of this magical cherry tree, a witch with pink hair and fox ears was looking up at the tree, wondering what she was thinking.
"Hmm... why is there a pink fox..."
Liu Bai noticed the pink-haired, fox-eared priestess in front of the cherry tree.
Although there are indeed some people in Teyvat who are born with animal ears, Liu Bai has seen them very rarely.
"Could she be the follower of Thunder God..."
Recalling that the immortals who were rock gods were all animals, Liu Bai felt that this guess was very likely.
