Xumi: I and the treasure-stealing weasel killed our way through the Church of the Lord

"In fact, there are more than just three of them. Lanmu Hukunda also wanted to come along at first, but because its power was too strong, and he had to take care of the newborns, he gave up in the end."

"——As for the residence."

"——Isn't your 'storage space' between reality and illusion just right?"

The little grass god smiled and gave his answer.

Chapter 124 Liyue’s Great Crisis

Mount Sumeru, the path becomes a forest.

When the first ray of sunlight fell on the rain forest on the east side of Xumi, the orange-red sun rose and fell on the moss-covered giant trees in the ancient jungle, making them emit some flickering light.

The purple roses all over Mount Sumeru swayed in the morning breeze, and through the morning dew on the petals, they exuded a rich fragrance that intoxicated passers-by.

And in this still dim rainforest, a young boy led four little guys around him, walking through the woods very comfortably.

After finally deciding on the destination of the trip, Lin Feng led the three Lannaros and the sleepy Xiaobai out of his residence on the top floor of the sacred tree early in the morning.

Thinking about how many businesses including Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had submitted formal cooperation applications through the Liyue General Affairs Department some time ago, hoping to become the official partners of the Civilian Equipment of the Liyue Academy.

The relationship with the neighboring country of Liyue has also officially entered Lin Feng's consideration.

Although he personally had some inexplicable fondness for Liyue, what kind of appearance Liyue would present under the governance of the Seven Stars was still an unknown to Lin Feng, who had not conducted any on-site inspections.

If the above cooperations are just some minor problems,

The core purpose of the General Affairs Department's initiation of this application is actually to reach a stable cooperation with Xumi and obtain a long-term and stable supply channel for "Fertile Benefit".

Lin Feng didn't find it strange at all that Liyue had such a need.

According to the research report of scholars from the Ministry of Education, the urban population density of Liyue has reached seven times the rural population density, while the area of ​​arable land is only equivalent to that of Liyue Harbor.

After seeing this counter-intuitive survey result, Lin Feng almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes. Finally, after comparing multiple papers, he had to believe the truth of this information.

Under such premise, if we observe the ratio of Liyue's urban population density to cultivated land and urban area, we can discover the enormous food crisis hidden therein.

You should know that in ancient my country, the area of ​​farmland was generally more than eighty times the area of ​​urban areas, and even in the late Qing Dynasty, the urban population was only one-tenth of the rural population.

As a result of this back and forth, the output of Liyue’s farmland must be at least hundreds of times that of ancient my country in order to meet the domestic residents’ demand for food.

Even in Teyvat where gods exist, unless Lin Feng and the Grass God are willing to take the Heart of God and farm the land themselves, they will never be able to achieve such an outrageous output ratio.

Due to the large area of ​​unusable wasteland in the original area of ​​Guili, as well as the mountains and fields on the west side of Liyue.

The reason why Liyue, with such a small arable land, can still maintain its current prosperity is that it relies on large-scale imports of grain from other countries. Among them, Mondstadt, which is spread across the plains, is one of Liyue's largest importing countries.

As a commercial country, being unable to be self-sufficient in food obviously cannot bring enough sense of security to the people of Liyue.

Although they had previously wanted to improve the soil quality of those wastelands through the Fertile Blessing,

However, the reality went against their wishes. The House of Ordinances led by the sages actually strictly restricted the outflow of the Boon of Fertility. There was no problem with small-scale sales by individuals, but any country's long-term supply needs were directly rejected by them.

Although the raw materials of this thing are not expensive, its manufacture requires the power of the Heart of Goddess Nashida.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the outrageous effect of being able to grow crops normally regardless of the soil quality, even in the desert.

Given the sages' control over the Heart of God, it naturally does not support their unlimited production of the Blessing of Fertility. Therefore, after supplying their own residents, the remaining output is naturally not enough to provide to other countries.

But now with Lin Feng and Nashida, there is no problem with production. But whether or not to reach such a cooperation is not only a question on Xumi's side, but there also seem to be some discordant noises on Liyue's side.

After all, changing from importing food to importing fertilizer is just turning one problem into another.

Unless the gods of both sides reach a direct cooperation, it is estimated that no one in Liyue, from the Seven Stars to the residents, will feel that this is much better than before.

I feel that the Demon Gods in Liyue were too fierce in PVP, and there is really nothing we can do about the current situation.

He thought of the authority of rock elements that he needed to transform the desert, as well as the goodwill that Xiao had previously conveyed to the Emperor.

Lin Feng decided to go to Liyue for inspection as a traveler. If the Emperor was willing to cooperate, the gods of both sides could directly sign a formal contract.

In this way, not only the relationship problems with neighboring countries will be solved, but also the mutual exchange of resources between the two sides will be promoted at a deeper level. This is a great thing for both Xumi and Liyue.

But apart from this, Liyue, with the existence of the Emperor, should not need any help from me.

Lin Feng, who was running around in Xumi, overthrowing the Church Order Institute and building infrastructure everywhere, felt that he could finally escape from his life of being away from the ground.

——It's impossible that you, the emperor, are here and you still need help from a tourist like me, right?

Thinking of this, the young man with black hair and black eyes even lightened his steps.

"Hello, Narcida, can you hear me?"

"Of course you can, but what's the purpose of the word 'hello' at the beginning? Is it a custom there?"

"Ahem, let's put it this way, the visual sense of the phone call was too strong, and I couldn't help it for a moment."

Lin Feng looked at the leaf emitting green light in the storage space and was somewhat surprised at Nashida's magical communication technique.

"——What is 'call'? Never mind. Anyway, you've always used some weird words. This isn't the first time."

"I'll say it again. This leaf can actually be considered a part of my 'body', so even if we're across the country, I can still communicate with you. I won't be unable to contact you in case of an unexpected situation."

"But after all, it has left my side and has been out of my power cycle. If it is too far away, its own power will be consumed. So after leaving the country, I may not be able to use it for small talk."

Even during the "voice call", Lin Feng could still hear the loss in the little grass god's voice.

"Don't worry, I don't think we will encounter any major problems this time. After all, the Emperor is still in office, and Liyue won't force me to work for them, right?"

"I've already worked overtime enough in Xumi. No matter what the benefits are, I won't do it again in Liyue."

The boy's tone was extremely firm.

"——Once I get familiar with the environment there, I can take you over for a visit. Don't worry, it won't take too long."

"So, during the time I'm away, everything in Xumi will be handed over to you... Don't worry too much. If you encounter any unexpected situation, just contact me in time."

"Next time I come back, I will bring you the most suitable gift as promised, so just look forward to it~"

Following Nashida's sensible response, Lin Feng looked at the city in front of him which had changed drastically, and decided to visit a 'Grand Forest Patrolman' who had successfully changed his job to become a children's teacher before setting off.

Chapter 125 Set off to Liyue!

As the sun gradually rises, the city of Hua in the early morning shows a scene of all things reviving.

The road, which had been repaired and made wider, was filled with merchants coming and going.

Breathing in the fragrance wafting from his nose, Lin Feng, who had been busy and had experienced many major events recently, suddenly felt alive.

By the way, wasn't his original purpose to pet his dog and enjoy his retirement at the Liyue Bridge? How did he become the supreme leader of Xumi?

It was clearly a goal not long ago, but now it seems like a lifetime ago.

After taking office, he moderately relaxed the previous knowledge ban of the Educational Council, and also set up some compulsory education centers for children of school age in areas such as Vimalakirti Village and Huachengguo where there are many elderly people and children.

Previously, Xumi’s education outside of large cities was generally supported by voluntary travel scholars after a region applied for educational aid.

Because there are too few Tusas traveling outside, and the randomness brought about by free admission is too high, it is often the case that someone goes there after several years. Therefore, the educational significance is actually very limited. Except for a small number of geniuses, they cannot compete with the students in Xumi City at all.

After adding a stable education point, although the current results are not very significant, if it can be maintained for a long time, it should be able to alleviate the problem that the status of Xumi scholars is basically passed down through blood and ordinary people have no access to promotion channels.

——By the way, what is Tinari doing? Is he still teaching those kids?

Curious about his friend's current situation, Lin Feng went to his former ranger's office.

As they gradually walked into the town, the three little ones had already hidden in Lin Feng's "storage space". Because they had previously devoured the power of those abyss mages, coupled with the increase in their personal strength, this space, which was originally based on dreams, already had the prototype of Liyue's "Cave World".

The feedback given by Lanaro is:

It has the power of "grass and trees" and "dreams". It is more comfortable to stay here than in Huanalana. I like it.

After receiving such a reply, Lin Feng also understood the power within this space, which was most likely related to the authority he held.

Perhaps after learning the cave technology in Liyue, or gaining more power, he could be like the Traveler, and when facing the enemy, he could just clap his hands and call out a cart of breadmen for a righteous fight.

It is worth mentioning that although normal creatures still cannot enter this space, Xiaobai seems to be an exception.

Although the little guy looked bored and refused to go in, it also showed that it was indeed very different in essence from the native creatures of Teyvat.

Putting his inner thoughts behind for the time being, Lin Feng looked at the "Forest Patrol Officer School" not far away and silently quickened his pace.

"Come on, everyone, open page 73 of the Teyvat Literacy Encyclopedia, and let's continue yesterday's study."

"The text on this page is all about 'fruits'. Please compare the illustrations with the fruits I brought to deepen your impression."

"If you behave well, you can take these sweet sunset fruits and raspberries back as rewards."

Compared with the previous ranger's office, which is several times larger, it is now officially used by Tinari as a classroom for the children of forest walkers around the rainforest.

Tinari, who has a pair of long dark green ears, speaks passionately on the stage and uses the most interesting method to convey knowledge to children's minds.

The forest walker, who has been forced to travel through the rainforest for generations, expressed helplessness about his past in which he could not leave this small village for his entire life due to the knowledge ban.

But seeing that with the two gods coming to power, the House of Religion is willing to give every child equal opportunities to become scholars.

Having lived through countless generations of hardship, they almost without exception chose to send their children to Tinari’s classes.

Tinari, who gave up the high-paying job at the Church Order and took the initiative to apply for a part-time position as a teacher stationed in the Huacheng area in addition to his job as a forest ranger, also provided these children with extremely high teaching quality that was no less than that of the educational institutions in Xumi City with his unparalleled talents.

After waiting in front of the door for a while until the class was over, Lin Feng walked through the children who were happily taking the fruits home and came to Tinari.

"Long time no see, Senior Tinari. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you Teacher Tinari now?"

Lin Feng smiled and greeted Tinari in front of him, just like he did when he was still in the Huacheng Forest Patrol Team.

"Hey, Lin Feng, why are you joining in the fun like those other players?"

"I don't know who started this trend, but everyone calls me Teacher Tinari as soon as they see me, even though this is just a part-time job and I'm actually a ranger in the Huacheng area!"

Faced with the current situation, Tinari said somewhat helplessly.

“But I never expected that the child I took in from the rain forest a year ago would be the twin god of Lord Little Auspicious Grass King.”

"Didn't you swear to me that you were from Liyue?"

Because even after Lin Feng possessed the power of a god, he never put on airs. Tinari, who was born with a cheerful personality, did not call him "Master" in a dry voice as Runtu did when they met. Instead, he treated the young man in front of him with a normal attitude as usual.

"Ahem, the reasons behind this are very complicated. I'll tell you later when I think it's appropriate to explain it. For now, I'll just keep you in suspense."

Although Lin Feng had disguised his appearance when he served as the "First Sage", it was not because he was afraid of anything. He just didn't want to be surrounded by a group of paparazzi every time he went out.

It's just the identity of a god, there's nothing worth hiding from his close friends.

"Actually, I'm about to pass through the Chasm and head to Liyue. I came here just to see how you and Hua Chengguo are doing."

"This thriving scene before me is undoubtedly the best affirmation of all the work I have done since I took office."

Looking at the completely transformed city in front of him, Lin Feng, who had personally promoted the development of the people's livelihood in Xumi, felt a sense of accomplishment in participating in history.

"It's actually not that bad. After you came to power, you cleared out all the threats in Xumi. Being a forest ranger is now a very easy job. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to spare the time to serve as a teacher for these children."

Having personally experienced the changes in Xumi since Lin Feng took office, Tinari's heart was filled with indescribable subtle emotions.

"Well, since you're leaving soon, let's not talk about work for now. How about coming to my place to have a meal of mushroom stew after a long absence? Some of these mushrooms were newly discovered by me in the past two days. Apart from me, you may be the first one to eat them."

"——That's great. Let me tell you, your mushroom stew is amazing, Tinari. Even in the Lambad Tavern, I've never seen anything more delicious. Let's go quickly. I can't wait."

Having said this, Lin Feng paused and said mysteriously:

"——I'd like to remind you that I'm not the only one here, so don't blame me if I don't make enough food."

???

Facing the puzzled look of the fox-eared boy in front of him, Lin Feng put his arm around Tinari's shoulder and headed for the residence of the friendly ranger, just like he had just emerged from the rainforest a year ago.

After having a nice meal with Xiaobai and the three little ones and saying goodbye to Tinari who had a look of surprise on his face, Lin Feng came to the cave entrance in the southeast direction of Huachenggu.

Looking at the deep mine in front of me.

The young man took out the badge stored next to a hairpin, took a deep breath, and embarked on a journey as an individual, which he was not sure whether it could be called a "return home".

Chapter 126: The Ash-Burning Keqing

Liyue, the rocky abyss.

In front of a tent filled with debris, a purple-haired girl wearing a yellow and white helmet was talking to a middle-aged man opposite her.
