You Show Up While I'm Still Bathing? / Just One Hundred-It's Yours

Because a portion of Venti's payment had to be deducted for the Knights, Anqi wrote an explanation and submitted a copy of the contract as well.

When Qin saw the contract, she tilted her head in confusion, her little head buzzing a bit.

An elderly person on the subway looking at their phone.

"First Andrius and the Wolf Cavalry Unit, then Lord Venti and the Zephyr Delivery —is this child destined to be with the Demon God?"

Qin looked at the document with a troubled expression.

However, being able to deal with Demon God doesn't seem like such a bad thing at the moment.

Qin smiled helplessly and continued reading:

"A comprehensive plan for the use of the new Demon God..."

"Smack!"

Qin slammed the file shut and slammed it on the table, glancing around nervously as cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

Others might not understand the true value of Demon God, but how could she, as the acting leader who possessed a wealth of information, not know? Not to mention, under the special guidance of the God of Wind, she had recently personally experienced the power of the Wind Dragon Dvalin.

Is that kind of existence something you can joke about?

Qin decided to skip this proposal document. It was too exciting; she would only dare to look at it carefully if the God of Wind were present. For now, she would skip it and move on to the next one.

"It's this little guy again."

The next document is still related to Anqi, detailing the current business situation of Zephyr Delivery.

The takeaway business, centered around Cat's Tail Tavern, has expanded to many shops in the city, but this is not enough to make Jean pay special attention. After all, Mondstadt had takeaway services before, but they were all arranged by the shops themselves, some by their staff and some by the Adventurers' Guild, without any standardization.

Qin's real focus is on the bulk commodity transportation business, with the Forest Boar from Springvale as the starting point. That is the real deal that can change the entire Mondstadt business environment, and it is the true mission of [Zephyr Delivery].

"The Springvale model seems to have been a great success. Are so many businessmen from chambers of commerce already interested in getting involved?"

Qin smiled knowingly.

This is the effect she wanted.

The Knights are missing their main force, the Fatui are aggressive, and there's the demonic calamity caused by the Abyss Order... Although these problems have been resolved, the recovery of the business environment will take time. It's impossible for domestic and foreign merchants to suddenly become active just because the Knights say everything is fine.

The Zephyr Delivery business can play an effective role in helping Mondstadt quickly restore its market vitality, and it will reach even greater heights in the future.

But opportunities also present challenges.

Mondstadt itself has no history to refer to, and Jean can't think too clearly about the various problems that might arise after Zephyr Delivery grows bigger.

"Hmm? This is... the rail train project?"

While pondering, I came across another project proposal submitted by Anqi.

Now, anything Anqi submits receives high priority from Qin. The Knights' genius alchemist has fully proven her worth, even surpassing the other geniuses in importance, because much of her research has strategic significance.

With anticipation and curiosity, Qin opened the train plan.

"To create a rail network connecting all parts of Mondstadt, or even express train lines directly connecting to other countries?"

Qin immediately thought of Anqi's complete transportation technology.

What would it be like to combine the two?

"Hiss!"

Qin couldn't help but gasp.

Fast trains connecting various places carry a large number of travelers, merchants, adventurers, and all kinds of goods, traveling across the land day and night.

"It's like a blood vessel connecting everything."

Qin touched her forehead, suppressing those thoughts, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

This plan is very interesting.

She actually knew something about trains and understood the enormous potential of the design. But laying this thing across the land of Mondstadt was an unprecedentedly grand plan.

"But even setting aside the enormous costs in terms of manpower and resources, wouldn't it be difficult to maintain the security situation alone?"

Jean frowned. As the de facto leader of Mondstadt, she quickly began to consider the difficulties of this plan.

The monsters on the land of Teyvat are inexhaustible. Even if you wipe them out for a period of time, they will always rise again from the Ley Line. Just as the earth cannot absorb the vengeful spirits of those monsters, it can only let them crawl back from hell time and time again.

With train tracks spanning across the country, ensuring the safety of the entire line would require an enormous amount of manpower to clear monsters and maintain the tracks.

"I see, so that's how it's designed? Install remotely controlled automatic alchemical guns and cannons and monitoring facilities along the entire line. This way, a dedicated monitoring and maintenance team in Mondstadt City can handle most of the problems, and Wolf Cavalry Unit can be deployed only when necessary."

Unsurprisingly, the subsequent parts of the plan included a complete design for security issues.

Qin smiled, not only for the solution, but also for Anqi's progress.

"At first, he only cared about what he wanted, completely disregarding the actual situation. Now he doesn't need any reminders... If he continues like this, becoming the next Grand Master won't be a problem, right? In fact, it's quite something to look forward to."

Qin gathered her thoughts and then carefully reviewed the entire plan. Her final conclusion was:

"A fantastic plan; one can imagine it will usher in an era of unprecedented prosperity for Mondstadt."

But is this the Mondstadt that the God of Wind wants to see?

Qin paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

Surely He will? The God of Wind granted freedom to Mondstadt, allowing Mondstadt people to create their own happy and prosperous lives. Of course, He would want the people of Mondstadt to thrive and build an even more prosperous and beautiful kingdom.

The real question is, can I control myself?

Benefits inevitably come with risks and drawbacks.

The greater the benefits, the more problems will be faced in the future.

Can he, and the Knights of Favonius now, truly make the most of that era?

"Lord God of Wind..."

"Hmm? Is there something you need? Click!"

A familiar fragrance wafted over, accompanied by the sound of Wendy eating Sunsettia.

Qin blinked, and as expected, saw the fresh Sunsettia that had been specially brought for her right beside her. She smiled helplessly:

Why do you always appear and disappear without a trace?

"That's how it is with the Anemo Archon, please understand. Oh, if you're worried about taking a bath or changing clothes, don't worry, I've been waiting for you outside."

"..."

No, did you ever squat outside the door or by the window while I was showering or changing clothes?

Wendy flashed a cute smile that seemed to take it for granted and even tinged with a desire for praise.

This left Qin even more helpless, so she had no choice but to pick up the Sunsettia that the God of Wind had brought. She took a bite, and it was sweeter than she had imagined.

Chapter 216 is only 100, I'll give it to you.

"Lady Wendy, I'm a little insecure."

"Why?"

"I'm worried that I won't do a good job and will hurt everyone."

"From a purely rational perspective, which is better for everyone: to do it or not to do it?"

Wendy, with an detached and nonchalant expression, gazed at Qin with her clear, emerald-green eyes. The wind stirred her cool, flowing dress, revealing her alluring figure, fair and delicate as milk, like a bewitching enchantress.

Qin took in the beautiful scenery and paused for a moment.

"The Dandelion Knight is synonymous with integrity and courage, and most importantly, the courage to face difficulties head-on. I understand, Lord God of Wind."

"Huh? What did you figure out?"

Wendy chewed on Sunsettia and turned to ask.

Qin smiled but remained silent.

If the God of Wind was interested, she would certainly be happy to tell him everything. Unfortunately, both the return of power a thousand years ago and her recent personal interactions told Qin that the God of Wind was not interested in these mundane matters.

She'd probably be more interested in comparing the sweetness of fruits from different regions, or in keeping track of how well she's getting along with the Barbara sisters.

"Lady Wendy, is there something you need this time?"

"Nothing much, just... bored."

"Alright, just like you."

Qin shook her head with amusement.

I think I'm starting to understand Vanessa's mindset more and more, like she's chasing away a squirrel when she drives away the God of Wind.

"Oh, speaking of which, are you sleeping with Barbara tonight?"

"Uh, probably not tonight. We did discuss moving in together a few days ago, but we haven't started doing it yet. At least Barbara didn't say she was coming over today."

"That's great! I've been missing my nice, soft bed too! I'll sleep at your place tonight!"

"... Alright, it's my pleasure."

Qin scratched her face, having no reason to refuse. In fact, this wasn't the first time; she'd even shared a bed with the two sisters before.

Qin and Barbara did not object.

Although the canon doesn't contain rules requiring maidens to remain chaste for the God of Wind god, and the benevolent god of freedom wouldn't use such feudal and domineering rules to bind his people, what devout maiden would refuse if the God of Wind truly required her to sacrifice herself?

From a believer's perspective, offering a bed to the God of Wind and sleeping with God of Wind is undoubtedly a sign of divine favor.

--Of course, this is all on the premise that the God of Wind is someone like Wendy. If it were a drunkard who only knows how to slack off all day, that would be a different story.

Qin casually picked up another document.

"However, by the time I finish this work, it will probably be very late."

"It's okay, take your time, I'll keep an eye on you."

Wendy actually rested her chin on her hands, her voluptuous and alluring upper body propped up on the table, her long, jade-like legs floating in mid-air, and her round, juicy little buttocks sticking out as she watched with a smile.

Qin: "..."

Okay, you're the God of Wind, you're amazing.

Qin shook her head again, her gaze falling on the "Comprehensive Plan Regarding the Divine Messenger." She thoughtfully stroked her chin.

'All indications suggest that Venti is still under the observation of the God of Wind. It's quite normal for an observation of Demon God to last for hundreds or even thousands of years, isn't it? It's only natural that the observation would include the ability to cooperate and get along with mortals, right? With the help of the Demon God Power, the initial construction of the train project would be much simpler.'

Her beautiful purple eyes glanced sideways and saw the God of Wind continuing to eat the Sunsettia in an adorable manner.

Qin took a deep breath, then reached out and reopened the comprehensive plan.

Achoo!

In the [Angel's Share] bar, Venti held a glass that was only half full, rubbing her nose in a daze.

Paimon floated over, hands on his hips, and asked with concern:

"Street performer, do you have a cold?"

"No, how could I possibly catch a cold? Want a drink? I'm rich today, it's on me!"

"Although I'm happy to have someone treat me, I don't like alcohol, so you should treat Ying instead."

"Anything's fine! Hahaha, Ying, cheers!"

Venti raised her glass with a hearty laugh, her face flushed with a tipsy blush.

It's clear that the bard is in high spirits at this moment.

After all, it's rare to have a full wallet, so let's live for the moment and drink to our hearts' content.

Ying took a sip, but didn't drink too much, remaining sober. She certainly wasn't there to drink with some weirdo; she had questions to ask.

"Venti, do you know anything about my brother?"

"Pfft! Why would you think that?"

"Because you're also a demon... well, you know what everyone knows."

Considering that everyone around her was an ordinary Mondstadt citizen, Ying was a little more tactful. After thinking for a moment, she took out a bag of Mora and placed it on Venti's lap.
