Feng Yan did not say the rest of the words, but Shen Zhiyi could roughly guess what he wanted to say.

In order to compete for the position of Tianquan Star, the Li family and the Su family can cross the boundary once and they can cross it a second time.

After all, Master Feng is an old man who retired from the Qianyan Army. Every time he uses the favors he left in the army, one point is consumed.

Once all the money is used up, many things are really beyond the control of the Feng family.

As for Master Feng's son Feng Yan, although he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Qianyan Army, he has not yet successfully become a coach, let alone entering the top ranks.

Before he fully grew up, Shen Zhiyi naturally did not want the Feng family to fall.

But this is the reality, we have no control over anything.

After confirming that he had been dragged into the power struggle at the top, Shen Zhiyi was left with only two options.

Or, give up the wealth and connections that he had built up in Liyue for nearly two months and go to Mondstadt or other countries to start over.

Otherwise, help the Feng family find the key to solving the current situation.

"Actually..." After hesitating for a moment, Shen Zhiyi made a choice, "Brother Feng, have you ever considered joining a certain faction?"

Feng Yan lowered his eyes after hearing this: "Father was close to Kaiyang at first, but later something happened and the two sides gradually drifted apart."

"Because of this experience, it is difficult for our family to gain the trust of the other seven current stars, so we have simply remained neutral until now."

Shen Zhiyi nodded when he heard this. The situation of the Feng family was not complicated, just troublesome.

If you want to stay away from this vortex, the best choice is to join a new force in Liyue.

Obviously, according to the information in the previous life game, neither the Su family nor the Li family, nor the Yan Qing faction launched by the General Affairs Department, have successfully taken over power from the previous Tianquanxing.

On the contrary, it was Ningguang, who is now relatively low-profile but has some fame in the business circle, who finally succeeded in picking the peach.

Inferring from the results, as long as the Feng family can surrender to Ningguang, the current predicament can be easily resolved.

However, putting aside how she should persuade Feng Yan, based on the wisdom Ningguang showed in the game alone, she should have done a lot of preparations when the former Tianquanxing was about to abdicate.

At this time, the Feng family suddenly came and asked to join. Ningguang's first reaction would definitely not be to agree readily. Instead, she would wonder how her plan was leaked and what the Feng family's real purpose was.

Then, after some investigation, one's existence will be completely exposed.

This is not what Shen Zhiyi wants to see. He does not want to be noticed by Liyue’s future top leaders.

Since joining the new forces is not an option, the only two options left are to apply for an external transfer and to accumulate merits.

Feng Yan has just finished his three-year stationing in Shimen. Now he wants to be transferred again, but it is simply impossible to get approved in a short period of time.

As for the accumulation of merits...

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Zhiyi asked Feng Yan to come closer and said, "Brother Feng, what I am going to say next, once it comes out of my mouth and enters your ears, once you leave the door of the courtyard, it will have nothing to do with me at all."

Seeing him so serious, Feng Yan also nodded: "I save it."

Then, Shen Zhiyi slowly told the story of the Xumi student he met when he was selling a house more than a month ago.

As he spoke, Feng Yan's expression became more serious.

Finally...

"Is everything you said true?" Feng Yan grabbed Shen Zhiyi's arm, his words filled with excitement.

Shen Zhiyi did not struggle and said calmly, "It is absolutely true."

"Okay!" Feng Yan patted Shen Zhiyi on the shoulder. "No matter what the true identity of that guy you mentioned is, I will remember this favor, Senior Brother, no, Brother."

009 Unity of knowledge and action, first difficult then easy

In the next few days, Feng Yan did not come again.

And Shen Zhiyi also returned to his original daily life.

She sold steamed buns at the morning market and at noon, practiced boxing in the afternoon and improved her sewing and handicraft skills, and at night she recalled the contents of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and translated them into the common language of Teyvat.

Three days passed like this.

[The second round of elemental quenching 95% → 100%. ]

【力量+0.2(1.7),体质+0.2(1.6),敏捷+0.2(3.7),精神+0.2(2.2),感知+0.2(1.4)】

[Supernatural power: not mastered → ¥…%¥&*&%→ not mastered]

When he woke up in the early morning, three lines of system prompts appeared in Shen Zhiyi's field of vision.

The first two lines of text did not surprise him. After all, they had already appeared during the first round of elemental tempering.

Now, the only thing left is to increase the attributes except charm from the original 0.1 to 0.2.

What really surprised him was the unknown garbled code that appeared for a moment in the supernatural power column.

Although this string of garbled characters eventually returned to its original state, it proved one thing.

——With the increase in the rounds of elemental tempering, one's own extraordinary power will inevitably usher in a true awakening!

The discovery of this fact made Shen Zhiyi have a faint smile on his face for several days.

"Did anything good happen to you recently?"

One night, the girl who came to pick up the steamed buns as promised finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked curiously.

Shen Zhiyi was stunned when he heard this: "Can you tell?"

The girl pointed at the boy's slightly raised mouth corners and said, "Come on, only a fool can't see that."

"That's right." Shen Zhiyi rubbed his cheeks with his palms, trying to calm his smile. "I did encounter something beneficial to me recently."

"Oh, I see." The girl nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

The relationship between the two, well, how should I put it, is neither unfamiliar nor familiar.

For Shen Zhiyi, the girl was, after all, the first noble person he met after traveling through time. Even though he had no shortage of customers now, he always maintained his dealings with her.

It’s just that the original 100 steamed buns per day have become 30 steamed buns, 30 vegetable buns and 40 meat buns now, and the price is also cheaper than when other people buy them.

After all, they had known each other for two months, so the girl had some understanding of Shen Zhiyi's personality.

Although this guy looks gentle on the outside, he is actually a big ice cube on the inside.

Ordinary people simply cannot get into this guy's heart, but if they were truly accepted, the situation might be different.

The girl shook the oil-paper bag in her hand and chuckled.

"Brother, let me tell you in advance that after this transaction, the appointment relationship between us will be temporarily terminated."

Shen Zhiyi was stunned after hearing this, but then he nodded, "I understand."

"Eh~~~~" The girl was obviously not satisfied with the boy's cold response. Relying on her greater strength, she walked forward and poked the man in front of her on the cheek, "Can't you give me some reaction?"

With Shen Zhiyi's current agility, he could actually easily dodge the girl's sneak attack, but after hesitating for a moment, he did not do so.

"So what should I do? Cry?"

"Well, this is a bit too much, even a bit disgusting." The girl waved her hand, "But you really don't care about anything except yourself. Don't you think it's boring to live like this?"

Then, she got an unexpected answer.

"How can someone who doesn't even love himself love others?"

"?!"

The girl admitted that she was really shocked when she heard this.

"I didn't expect you to be a philosopher."

"I am over-flattered."

"Come to think of it, are you really not curious at all about the reason why I suddenly stopped making the appointment?" the girl asked again.

"Not curious." Shen Zhiyi shook his head, paused for a moment, and added, "Because I can guess it."

"Hmm?" The girl was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Shen Zhiyi turned his head and looked at the lantern not far away. In the dim light, there seemed to be a few flying insects hovering. "You should have collected enough money to buy a boat, right?"

This time, the girl was completely surprised: "You know about me?"

"When your group of co-workers were taking a break and chatting at noon, they didn't deliberately avoid my stall."

The girl was silent after hearing this: "So, did you already know my name?"

What he got was Shen Zhiyi looking at him like a fool.

"This is unfair!" The girl suddenly felt angry. "You not only know my name, but also my life goals. But I don't even know your name!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Zhiyi opened his mouth: "Zhiyi."

Girl: "?"

“The knowledge of unity of knowledge and action, and the ease of doing, put together, Zhiyi, is my name.”

“Hehehe~” The girl couldn’t help but grin after finally getting the answer she wanted. “Zhiyi, that’s a good name. Well, since I already know your name, then I should also tell you my name.”

"I know." Shen Zhiyi said.

"No, you don't know." In order to prevent the boy in front of her from saying her name in advance, the girl even stretched out her hand and covered the boy's mouth. "Beidou, this is the name of a man who will surely resound throughout the continent of Teyvat in the future and will be called the overlord of the sea."

From that day on, the relationship between the girl, or Beidou and Shen Zhiyi, the diner and the vendor, came to an end completely.

But this does not mean that the two of them will become strangers.

Beidou undoubtedly regarded Shen Zhiyi as a friend, so every few days, he would bring some snacks to his house, and relying on his own strength, he would not give the latter any chance to refuse.

Once or twice, Shen Zhiyi could still hold on, but after a long time, he just let it go.

Fortunately, Beidou always came alone and never brought along the friends she made at the dock.

This guy knew exactly what Shen Zhiyi was doing and didn't give him any chance to get angry.

So, another month passed.

【Tai Chi level 3 → level 4.】

【力量+0.3(2),体质+0.3(1.9),敏捷+0.3(4)】

[Please choose one of the following two entries as the extended expertise for Tai Chi Level 4:]

[1. Dynamic Qi·Awakening: You can transform nutrients in your body into extraordinary power·Dynamic Qi by practicing martial arts or breathing techniques. Dynamic Qi level +1.]

[2. Calm Qi·Awakening: You can transform nutrients in your body into extraordinary power·Calm Qi by practicing martial arts or breathing techniques. Calm Qi level +1.]

Level 4 Tai Chi provides two areas of expertise: dynamic Qi and static Qi.

These two kinds of energies both belong to the category of supernatural powers, but there is no way to know more specific information.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhiyi decided to choose the specialty of tranquility which better suits his personality.

[Supernatural Power: Unawakened → Calm Aura Level 1 (0/100)]

010 Extraordinary Power

The moment he decided on his specialty, Shen Zhiyi felt a warm, thread-like energy in his lower abdomen.

This energy slowly turned, and in just two or three breaths, it swept away all the fatigue accumulated from previous boxing!

Shen Zhiyi closed his eyes and tried to mobilize this energy with his will.

He succeeded and failed.

The energy is easy to control. Just apply a little external force and it will leave the lower abdomen.

But the next second, perhaps because it found no way to move forward, the energy retreated back to its original position.

After trying several times, Shen Zhiyi gave up.

"what……"

He sighed softly, regretting that he did not study the human acupuncture point map before traveling through time.

Now, I have the energy similar to the internal force in martial arts novels, but I can’t use it correctly.

"I wonder if there is a medical system in Teyvat that is similar to the traditional Chinese medicine of my previous life. If there is, that would be great so I can learn it and use it directly. If not, I can only resort to some stupid methods and find the correct way for Qi to circulate through constant trial and error."
