Bai Ye and Xingqiu repeatedly sought solutions from Yanfei, but the matter remained unresolved.
Yanfei had already tied herself up when setting the rules.
Xingqiu could only reluctantly give up.
"This matter is fine too; consider it a lesson for my father and brother. In the future, when doing business, even for the most stable matters, we must find all possible variables."
Xingqiu stood up and said to Yanfei.
"Miss Yanfei, we won't disturb you any further."
At the same time, he turned his gaze towards Bai Ye.
"Bai Ye, let's go."
As they walked out, it was already very late.
Bai Ye and Xingqiu said their goodbyes.
Xingqiu went to accompany his father and brother.
Although he might not be of much help in business, he possessed a Genshin Eye and was skilled in combat.
With him there, the wavering hearts within the Feiyun Commerce Guild would be somewhat stabilized.
Bai Ye returned to the room he had rented.
Outside the room was a moderately sized space. Upon entering, besides a single bed in the corner, the rest of the area was filled with various mechanisms and talismans and Daoist techniques used by Bai Ye for his Adeptal Arts cultivation.
Bai Ye sat cross-legged on the bed.
He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Although Bai Ye's combat primarily relied on the Art of Automata and his Anemo Genshin Eye abilities, the cultivation of Adeptal Arts could not be neglected.
It could make his body more robust. While it hadn't helped him grow taller yet, his strength, speed, and other attributes were far superior to others.
Furthermore, cultivating Adeptal Arts could also calm his mind.
Bai Ye practiced Adeptal Arts for a while, but his mind was still somewhat restless.
Hagintos's remnant soul could clearly sense this, but she felt helpless, only able to watch Bai Ye silently, hoping he could overcome it himself.
"It's a shame this isn't my world. If it were my world, this matter would be much easier to resolve."
After practicing Adeptal Arts, Bai Ye couldn't help but say.
At this moment, as if sensing an opportunity, Hagintos quickly spoke to Bai Ye.
"Your world? What? Are these things not difficult in your world? By the way, you haven't told me much about your world yet."
Hagintos knew Bai Ye came from another world. She had known this clearly since Bai Ye became her disciple.
However, on the continent of Teyvat, Bai Ye wasn't the only traveler from another world, so she hadn't asked many questions.
Now it seemed that Bai Ye's past life was quite different from this Teyvat.
"In my world, there are no Genshin Eyes or elemental powers. They are ordinary people, but they use ordinary means, accumulating generations, even tens of generations, to achieve technological progress..."
Bai Ye seemed to have found someone to confide in, and he told Hagintos a lot about his past life.
Firearms several times more powerful than Musketeer Vanguards, not gliding like Wind Gliders but direct flight, devices that could easily communicate with each other from thousands of miles away, machines that could draw their own diagrams...
He told Hagintos about various items that were commonplace to Earthlings but extremely special to the original inhabitants of Teyvat.
The inventions of modern society allowed ordinary people to live more comfortably.
Hagintos listened, filled with yearning and curiosity.
This wasn't for herself.
Let alone being a remnant soul, even if she were still corporeal, she could make her body impervious to the elements.
What she yearned for was how wonderful it would have been if her subjects had lived like that back then.
Archons all loved their people, and Hagintos especially so.
As he spoke, Bai Ye steered the conversation towards the current matter of the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
"As for today's matter, if it were in my past life, it would actually be very easy to solve. We already know where to deliver the fresh goods, so even if we didn't use sea or land routes, purely by land, we could transport them via railway. Even without laid railways, if we used freight cars for transport, it would be very easy."
At this moment, Hagintos spoke in Bai Ye's mind.
"So, why don't you do it?"
"Huh!?"
Bai Ye responded with a questioning tone.
Hagintos continued.
"Your world is so wonderful, so why not bring that beauty to this Liyue as well? I find what you've described so appealing, so I truly wish Liyue could have it too. Your world's creations are so exquisite; how wonderful it would be to recreate them in this world."
"Recreate items from Earth in Teyvat?"
Bai Ye picked up the monitor screen he had manufactured earlier.
This was an attempt he had made unconsciously, and he hadn't planned on bringing things from his past life to Teyvat.
After all, Teyvat's resources were different from his previous life.
But now, thinking about it carefully, Different resources didn't mean they couldn't be integrated.
Most of the Art of Automata he used was learned from Teacher Hagintos, and that hadn't changed.
As he was, he could only be a master of the Art of Automata, not truly become powerful.
He had to surpass his teacher, which meant he needed to find a suitable path for himself.
Integrating what he had seen and heard from his past life into his Art of Automata was a new path.
Bai Ye felt a surge of motivation.
He began to transform Liyue.
And, He also knew clearly, Although Liyue was still governed by Rex Lapis now, he would fake his death and escape during the Rite of Descension.
Liyue would eventually be handed over to humans for governance.
After the Rite of Descension, he could fully cooperate with the Seven Stars through various creations.
"By then, perhaps I can try to get my hands on Ningguang's Floating Stone. With a Floating Stone as massive as the Jade Chamber's base, I can sustain my teacher for a very long time. No, bringing Earth technology to Liyue will require even more innovation in the Art of Automata. By then, I might have even figured out a way to restore my teacher. That would be even better."
Bai Ye looked forward to a bright future.
Hagintos watched quietly.
She was very happy.
Bai Ye thought for a while, then picked up a pen and paper and began to calculate.
"To create inventions different from Teyvat, let's start by establishing a transport convoy."
