People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhodes understood, and he looked forward to the thing that Apep promised even more.

"Then, Emperor, what should I do now?"

"Are you just going to take Fushe's remaining soul like this?"

"And about your meeting with the Ruota Dragon King, I don't need to go there, right?"

Rhodes asked a few more questions in one breath.

The Dragon King Rudra is not someone you can easily mess with.

Wearied and tortured, he could no longer recall the faces of his old friends, nor the Liyue Harbor he once protected. He became extremely irritable and aggressive, his heart filled with hatred that had been sealed away by Zhongli for thousands of years.

Moreover, the Dragon King Ruota was once a terrifying existence who could fight Zhongli to a standstill.

Even under the torture of wear and tear, his strength had been lost a lot in the thousand-year seal.

But a skinny camel is also bigger than a horse.

Even though his strength is not as strong as it used to be, once the Dragon King goes crazy again, Rhodes will probably find it difficult to protect himself in their fight.

About his concerns.

Zhongli put on a relieved expression and said, "You don't need to go there. You just need to wait for good news in Liyue Harbor. As for Fushe's remaining soul, you can keep it for now."

"alright."

Compared to the mysterious Apep, Zhongli still has a lot of credibility in Rhodes' eyes. Rhodes doesn't need to question what he says a second time.

"Do you have anything else to do later?"

"If you have some free time, would you have time to walk around with me?"

After talking about Apep, Zhongli made another request.

This is a simple matter.

But Rhode still had a question: "Doesn't the Emperor need to accompany Apep to see the Ruotu Dragon King these two days?"

"The time agreed with her is seven days later."

Zhongli smiled and said, "I have been quite free during this period of time."

"Well."

After agreeing on a meeting place with Zhongli, Rhodes left first.

Before meeting Zhongli.

Rhodes first informed Seno and Tinari, telling them that he would be accompanying a very important guest in the next few days and would not have time to accompany them to the underground mine.

"guest?"

"Aren't you the guest?"

Seno discovered the blind spot in Rhodes' words.

In this Liyue, the Xumi people should be the guests, so why is Rhodes the one who is accompanying the guests?

"Don't worry about it."

"You know that person is very important. He specifically asked me to accompany him, and I couldn't refuse."

Rhode made up an excuse to get away with it.

Sino didn't ask any more questions, and nodded, "Okay, I get it. You don't have to worry about the underground mine. After the pollution source is resolved, our work is much easier than at the beginning. According to the current progress, we can return in two months at most."

After Seno finished speaking, Tinari beside him added: "You don't need to wait for us here, just go back after you finish your own business. That Ah Apep has attracted a lot of mushroom beasts to Hope City, which has caused quite a mess. In addition, there are already many things to do there, and Lady Grass God has been a little overwhelmed recently. You can help her if you go back earlier."

"Mushroom beast?"

"Why didn't Nashida tell me?"

Rhodes recalled that Nashida had indeed never mentioned this matter.

and also.

Apep attracted a lot of mushroom beasts?

Attract?

Could these be the mushroom beasts in her body?

"That's good stuff."

Rhodes' eyes lit up.

When he first arrived in Aru Village, he made many guesses and tests about the issue of farming.

The final plan was to use Grass Slime to replace the Fertility to reduce planting costs.

The practical results of this plan are very encouraging.

Although not as effective as the Benefit of Fertility, it also enabled Aru Village to successfully complete greening planting. It not only reduced the impact of sandstorms, but also brought Aru Village enough food to be self-sufficient and even for export.

After Nashida regained control of Xumi, she began to bring fertility to the desert, but the planting method of using grass slime to cultivate the land is still in use today.

Don’t underestimate the fertility of the land; crops can be grown even in stone.

But it can only force crops to be grown. The land remains as barren as before, having lost its fertility. Just like before, not a single grain of food can be grown. It is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.

Grass Slime is different.

This kind of monster will subtly nourish the land as it grows.

Turning the desert into fertile farmland is not an exaggeration.

But it really can.

This is a method that both treats the symptoms and the root cause.

Compared to Grass Slime.

According to the experimental results at that time.

The mushroom beast is even better at improving the environment.

However, due to the wild nature of the grass mushroom beasts, even their young ones are not as easy to tame as the timid and cowardly grass slime young ones.

That's why the desert has been using grass slimes to farm.

It’s a great thing that we now have completely controllable mushroom beast people like Apep.

As for why she was so kind as to release her own people to help green the desert.

That was all Rhodes could say.

"What a double-minded old fellow!"

With such complaints, Rhodes came to the place he had agreed to meet with Zhongli.

This time the two did not meet in the Hall of Rebirth.

But at the city gate of Liyue.

"Mr. Zhongli, I'm sorry I'm late."

Rhodes saw Zhongli from a distance and quickly stepped forward to say hello.

"No problem, I just got here too."

After saying that, Zhongli put his hands behind his back and walked towards the wilderness with Rhodes.

along the way.

Zhongli didn't say much, just led the way in front.

Rhodes was curious but didn't ask anything and followed him patiently.

Both of them were moving at a normal speed, walking on the Liyue official road. The road was flat and wide, with carriages and pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream.

gradually.

Rhodes discovered something different.

There was nothing special about the people coming into the city.

The problem lies with the people who leave the city.

There are too many people pulling building materials and carrying tools, and there are also many mobile vendors pushing carts.

Think for a while.

Rhode immediately thought of the reason for these anomalies: "Gui Liyuan?"

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded. "Yuheng Star has always been very efficient. After receiving the plan from you, it took only one day to come up with a ten-year development plan. After the joint consultation and revision by the Seven Stars and Eight Sects, the operation to govern Guiliyuan was officially started three days ago."

"It's so fast."

Rhodes couldn't help but sigh.

Keqing is a well-known efficiency maniac in Liyue. She can complete a task that takes others one or two months to complete in just one or two days.

And her work efficiency is not just for the sake of being fast, but to be both efficient and perfect.

Under her personal control.

This plan to govern Guiliyuan can be called an epic development progress.

"Mr. Zhongli, do you want me to go and observe the development site of Guiliyuan?"

Rhodes roughly guessed the reason why Zhongli asked him to leave the city.

"Yu Hengxing hired me as a consultant to give them advice when they govern Guiliyuan."

Zhongli said as a matter of course: "I have seen the governance plans used by Keqing. Most of them were proposed by you, so I took the initiative to invite you to go with me."

"Uh"

"Ok."

The reason was sufficient, so Rhodes did not suspect anything. Under the guidance of Zhongli, he found Keqing, who was dressed as a worker and covered in mud and dust.

Rhodes didn't know many people in Liyue.

But Keqing is definitely the one he admires the most.

Not to mention her unparalleled efficiency, Rhode had to give her a thumbs up just for the fact that she always set an example and rushed to the front line at the first opportunity.

As the Yuheng Star of Liyue, he is also from a prominent family.

Keqing never cares about her status. She does just as much heavy and strenuous work as anyone else.

From a civilian perspective.

It is really a blessing to have such a senior leader who is not pretentious and is willing to get things done.

"Mr. Zhongli, oh, Mr. Rhodes is here too."

Keqing was very happy to see Zhongli and Rhodes coming together. She rubbed her hands casually on her clothes, walked in front and led them to the construction site, and began to introduce them one by one.

Keqing was in high spirits and didn't stop talking even as she walked around for a long time.

the end.

She looked at Zhongli and Rhodes expectantly and said, "Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Rhodes, do you think I have missed anything?"

In this regard.

Zhongli gave his advice very seriously, completely putting himself in the position of an advisor.

He was talking here, and Keqing was taking notes over there.

Rhodes couldn't get a word in at all.

no way.

Compared with Zhongli's six thousand years of experience, he is at most a little wilder in his approach and his thinking is a little more counterintuitive.

On practical operations.

After all, Zhongli, who is experienced and well-informed, is more authoritative.

This is not.

Zhongli thought of everything that Rhodes could think of.
