Explorer of Teyvat

"Who are you?"

Enduring the discomfort in my mind,

Kawei looked at the figure in front of him with caution in his tone.

He is very uncomfortable now. He was already unlucky enough.

Not winning the game is hard enough;

And this voice kept echoing in his mind, making it difficult for him to calm down.

There was already a feeling of pain between Kawei's brows and eyes.

The figure in front of the Crown of Knowledge looked at Kawei, becoming more and more satisfied as he looked at it.

"I am Saqin, you should have heard of my name." Saqin's soul said.

Kawei hasn't reacted yet,

People around were surprised: "Saqin? Is this the Saqin who handed over the Crown of Knowledge to the Order?"

"Is it the Saqine who left the property?"

"It is said that Saqine will watch the players at the competition place. When he finds the player he is most satisfied with, he will hand over all his property to him! Is he hiding in the Crown of Knowledge?"

"Huh? Then if he appears now, he has found the player he is most satisfied with?"

"But isn't the Kavi scholar the last one?"

"Yes, isn't the champion Xingqiu?"

"He's more satisfied with last place than first place?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Xingqiu.

What does this have to do with him? He doesn't care about Saqin's property at all.

On the side, Sa Qin's soul seemed to feel that this was not good for Xingqiu, and turned to look at Xingqiu: "Friend from Liyue, I am very sorry. Although you won the championship, my property and my Academics are bound together, and you don’t seem to be suitable for academic research.”

Saqin explained why he did not choose Xingqiu.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, Xingqiu is not a scholar. If Saqin's academics are bound to his property, then Xingqiu is indeed not suitable.

Xingqiu also waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I'm not short of money, and I don't want to stay in the Imperial Academy as a scholar."

No matter how rich Sa Qiyin is, can he be richer than Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?

After receiving Xingqiu's reply, Saqi nodded to Xingqiu gratefully.

Then he looked at Kawei: "So, Kawei, are you willing to be my successor and inherit my academic and property?"

The chaos in Kawei's mind gradually faded away, and a trace of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Sakiin's property, isn't that why he participated in the competition?

Now this opportunity just fell in front of me?

He was about to say yes, but his recent experiences reminded Kawei that good things are not necessarily good things, and they may also be covering up bad things.

"I'm sorry, Lord Saqin, everyone in Sumeru knows about your property, but I'm sorry, I don't understand your academics."

Kawei also heard Saqin's request just now.

It is necessary to inherit both property and academics.

If Saqin's academics were similar to his own, then Kawei would naturally accept them.

But if Saqin's academic field is completely unacceptable to him, then Kawei feels that this may be a bad thing.

"Very good. In the face of temptation, you still remained sober. Kawei, you are indeed my most suitable successor."

Facing Kawei's hesitation, Saqin was not only not disappointed, but even more satisfied.

This kind of personality is so similar to him back then.

If he hadn't clearly known that his son was named Siwani, he would have almost thought that Kawei was his descendant.

Of course, for a scholar laureate, academic kinship is closer than blood kinship.

Well, it's probably like the academic family composed of Tinari, Xeno, and Kelai.

Although there is no blood relationship, knowledge and emotions can still form a family.

"Then, please listen to my scholarship, Scholar Kawei." Saqin's expression became formal.

Describe your academic knowledge and let the other party choose whether to accept it or not.

This is the key to determining whether his knowledge can be passed on.

Knowing that there were two gods watching here, Sa Qiyin did not dare to use any tricks. Of course, he was not prepared to use any tricks.

As long as you are clean, serious, and explain your principles carefully, that is enough.

[I was born into a family of scholars and was a genius when I was young. After inheriting the family business, I went to the desert to conduct academic research.

In the desert, I have helped the desert tribes many times, but I still can't stop the disputes.

I have warned adventurers many times that there is danger here, but I still cannot stop their greed.

…

Later, I understood,

In the past, the gods were strong and all things were attached to them, and those who suffered suffered themselves.

Nowadays, the gods are declining, people are wise, and those who suffer are also suffering.

There is a cloud in Liyue: "Life is like a journey against the odds", and a wife in Dao has a saying: "Everything is empty". Every time I read it, I feel heartbroken. I try to find out the reason.

Throughout the history of Xumi, the only thing that remains unchanged is human nature.

Since arriving in the desert, I have conducted a total of sixty-four experiments, which took more than seven years.

People are like prisoners, like trapped animals, feeding on each other's happiness until one party falls into pain forever.

Therefore, where there is gain, there must be loss, where there is happiness, there must be pain, everyone is a victim, and everyone can be a perpetrator.

Human nature is greedy and numb. Because of greed, it does evil. Because of its numbness, it turns a blind eye to the evil of others.

If the world is like this, what is the meaning of the world? [The future] is to [the present], just like [the present] is to [history].

There will never be peace in the war, but the truth is the truth.

Everything—even my knowledge, my wisdom, my life—is like nothing. 】

Sachiin told Kawei about his various experiments and conclusions without hesitation.

Looking at Kawei's eyes for the last time, Saqin's soul stretched out his hand: "Human nature is evil, and everything is empty. Kawei, this is my scholarship."

Looking at the invitation hand extended by the soul in front of him, Kawei fell into deep shock.

The desert, the experiment of human nature, the crown of wisdom,

Kavi seemed to understand something.

His father also entered the desert after the Celebration Competition of the Holy Order, and then... he never came back.

Feeling slightly in a trance, I looked at the crown in front of me and then at the soul in front of me.

Kavi’s heart no longer longed for that fortune.

"I admit that I have experienced a lot of bad things, and I am indeed doing some seemingly meaningless help as you said."

His father's departure, his mother's remarriage, debts, and living under other people's roofs were all bad things that Kawei experienced.

Kawei did somewhat agree with Saqin's words that "life is like a journey against the odds".

However, on the other side of this recognition is Kawei's extreme dislike of Sachiin's academics.

If human nature is inherently evil, and if everything is vain, then what does his persistence over the years count?

After his father left, he studied hard,

When his mother remarried, he was sad but blessed.

Owing huge debts, he worked hard to pay off the money.

If human nature is inherently evil, then there is no need for him to do anything in the first place;

He can resent his father for abandoning him;

He can hate his mother for abandoning him,

He can also pay off the debt,

He can live extremely easily, as long as he abandons the bottom line that Alhaysen has ridiculed for a long time.

But, if he does, is he still Kawhi?

Kawei looked at Saqin's outstretched hand and shook his head slightly, without touching or holding it.

Instead, he took a small step back.

He did not recognize Saqin's academics.

"I... will never approve of your academics!"

Seeing Kawei retreating, Saqin silently retracted his hand.

He looked at Kawei, his eyes were not disappointed, but more and more satisfied.

"The experiment is finally over, Kawei, thank you." Saqiyin's eyes were filled with relief. "Those who study evil will surely bear the sin of evil. I was once so pessimistic that I committed suicide, thinking that the world is gray and colorless. Today, you showed me new colors.”

The soul began to collapse, and wisps of light began to escape.

"As a last ray of gratitude, my property will still be left to you. The last experiment is to see if Kawei, who is short of money, will change his original intention after gaining huge wealth."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Saki laughed heartily,

In the laughter, the soul flew away.

Kawei shook and sat on the ground.

"Kavi." Ying and Paimon rushed forward with some worry.

Fa Lushan and other players from the Teaching Academy also gathered around.

Elhaysen glanced at Kawei on the ground, a smile appeared in his eyes, but he quickly stopped and turned to look at the other players: "Everyone, the matter is over. Everyone can go back to the camp to rest. Tomorrow the Lord of Red Sand I will send everyone back to Xumi City to attend the final awards ceremony."

Then, with everyone nodding, Alhaysen took back the Crown of Knowledge on the display stand.

His eyes glanced at the crown,

The originally gorgeous crown lost some of its color,

And there were some faint cracks on the crown's gems.

This crown is probably useless.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's what Saqiyin gave to the Order Council, and it's considered public property.

Putting away the crown, Alhaysen turned and left here.

Ying and Sano helped Kawei back to the camp in a hurry.

Others also returned to their respective camps to rest.

Paimon took care of Kavi enthusiastically, serving tea and pouring water.

"Paimon, you're like this, I'm a little scared." Kavi was a little uncomfortable with Paimon's enthusiasm.

Paimon scratched his head: "Hey, Kawei, you will be a rich man from now on, I have to please you."

Don’t blame Paimeng for his hospitality,

In order to win before, Ying and Leila cooperated, set up a star formation, channeled the power of the stars, and banned Ah Mao from the air.

But setting up a magic circle cannot be done in a vacuum.

Moreover, it is also a magic circle that attracts the power of the stars, and it cannot be completed with simple elemental materials. It requires a large amount of precious materials and a large amount of mola as a conductor.

As a result, all the precious materials and moras that Ying had acquired during his two years of travel were basically emptied.

In other words, Ying went bankrupt and Paimon had no money to eat.

"Well...if I treat you to a meal, I should be able to reluctantly treat you." Kawei said with a wry smile.

Paimeng's face was stern: "No, Kawei, you are a billionaire, are you just going to treat us to a meal?"

According to Paimon's plan, he would only have a month's worth of food at the least.

Kawei shook his head: "Saqi wants me to inherit his property, which is an experiment with bad intentions. Therefore, I am not prepared to accept this gift. I will donate all his money."

A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and Kawei continued: "Didn't he conduct a lot of evil experiments in the desert? Then compensate his property to the desert, and donate the other part to the Order to be used for children. education and training.”

Kawei is very short of money, but he does not lack this kind of money.

What he wants is money that comes in a dignified way.

It can be prize money from competitions or rewards from tasks,

But it is definitely not to become someone else’s next round of experiments.

Therefore, Kawei decided to directly end Sakiin's final experiment and donated all the money.

After listening to Kavi's words, Paimon opened his mouth wide: "That's a lot of Mora!"

Ying was also touched. She knew how short of money Kawei was, and gave Kawei a thumbs up: "Awesome."

Faced with overwhelming wealth, not everyone can resist the temptation.

Especially since this person is still short of money.

This kind of self-control can even be said to be stupid, but I admire this kind of person.

Ying and Paimon left,

Under Paimon's big mouth, everyone else soon learned of Kavi's choice.

For a time, everyone was talking about it.

Some people admire Kawei's determination and stick to his heart in the face of temptation.

Others decided that Carvey was stupid and might as well get the money and do his own research.

When the news reached Alhaysen's ears,

Elhaysen just shook his head slightly, knowing that Kawei would do this.

Although he looks down upon Kawei in many places, one thing is that Elhaysen also admires Kawei.

That's Kawei's persistence in sticking to his bottom line.

On weekdays, Elhaysen always said that Kawei's persistence and stubborn character were the reasons for his downfall.

But if Kawei no longer sticks to the bottom line and becomes tactful, will Alhaysen still deal with Kawei?

Elhaysen thought for a moment and the answer was no.

If he doesn't stick to the bottom line and do things diplomatically, then Kawi will be no different from other people in the Order, and he will lose his spirituality.

That night,

A figure left Liyue's tent and entered Kawei's tent.

"Huh? Your Excellency Xingqiu, what are you doing?"

Kawei, who was resting, was disturbed by Xingqiu, and was a little confused as to why he was here.

Xingqiu looked at Kawei. He was a little impressed that this person who said he was competing for money was actually prepared to donate his property.

Nothing else, Xingqiu decided that Kawei’s behavior was very chivalrous.

A gentleman will not take ill-gotten gains.

"Mr. Kawei, I remember that you said you only participated in the competition for money, right?"

"Huh? Are you also here to persuade me to accept the property?" Kawei looked at Xingqiu.

Before leaving for autumn, many people had come to persuade Kawei.

For example, Fa Lushan liked Kawei to take over the property and invest in her research project, but Kawei still blocked her.

Of course, when he told Paimon that he wanted to donate his property, Kavi was prepared for everyone to persuade him.

They were all friends, and Kavi still understood Paimon's big mouth.

Now that Xingqiu is here, Kawei thinks he is also here to persuade him.

"No, no, no, although I have heard about Mr. Kawei donating his property, I think you did the right thing. Don't leave the ill-gotten gains." Xingqiu waved his hands repeatedly and saw Kawei's expression relaxed. After a while, he continued, "I am here this time to extend an invitation to Mr. Kawei on behalf of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

"Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?" Kawei was a little confused. Although he had cooperated with many chambers of commerce, he still didn't know much about Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

"Well, our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is one of the big chambers of commerce in Liyue. Although it has developed in Xumi a long time ago, it has been doing some buying and selling business. Now that the situation is gradually opening up, we will also increase our investment in Xumi. "

Xingqiu first introduced the origin of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to Kawei, and then continued: "So I would like to invite Mr. Kawei to become the first official external employee of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce in Xumi."

"Ah?" Kawei really didn't expect that the other party actually came to recruit him, "But, I don't know how to do business either?"

"No, no, Mr. Kawei misunderstood. I know what you are good at. The first thing I want to do when recruiting you this time is to help design and build Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's chamber of commerce in Xumi."

"In the future, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will be involved in real estate development and oasis construction in the desert, all of which require your knowledge, Mr. Kawei."

If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

With the development of Chisha, the Chisha Tribal Alliance, which is satisfied with food and clothing, will inevitably pursue higher quality of life and spiritual pursuits.

In terms of spiritual pursuit, with the Lord of Chisha here, the pursuit of faith can completely satisfy the Chisha tribe.

But in terms of material quality of life, there seems to be room for improvement.

During this trip to the desert, Xingqiu accurately captured the business opportunities.

Chisha's development of the oasis still remains at the simple level of stationing and grazing.

He felt that it would be profitable to let the people of Chisha live in houses that were stronger than tents.

Listening to Xingqiu's business plan, Kawei's eyes gradually brightened.

Having conducted long-term research in the desert, he naturally knew why the desert people used tents.

It is convenient for migration.

But now that the power of the Lord of Red Sand has shrouded the desert, the people of Red Sand have the prerequisite for long-term settlement.

Under this premise, it is possible to replace convenient tents with sturdy houses.

Moreover, using his talents to make money is very consistent with Kawei's stubborn character.

"I see. In this case, I agree to your recruitment." Kawei took Xingqiu's extended hand.

Xingqiu smiled: "As the first official external employee of our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, we will arrange a dormitory for you in the current residence of Xumi City. It is not big, but has all the necessary equipment. In addition, you said that you If you are short of money, we can also advance part of your salary to you."

Saying that, Xingqiu looked at Kawei seriously: "Please don't refuse, this is the treatment that normal employees should receive."

Looking at Xingqiu's serious eyes, Kawei nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will design the best building."

"I never doubted that."

After communicating with Kawei for a while, Xingqiu returned to his tent.

But I found someone waiting at the entrance of the camp.

My heart tightened, and then I realized that the other person didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

When I got closer, I saw that it was Senuo, the Gale Disciplinary.

"Your Majesty, Judge Dafeng, who are you?" Xingqiu walked over and asked.

Sai Nuo's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency Xingqiu, are you playing Summoning the Seven Saints?"

"Seven Sage Summons? I have some experience." Xingqiu was a little surprised, "Well, you came to me so late, did you come to play Seven Sage Summons with me?"

Sano shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I want to trade cards with you. There is a limited card among the championship rewards. I hope you will buy it."

"ha?"
