Soon, Bai Ye and the others brought an Electro Abyss Mage they had captured in the wild.
On the current continent of Teyvat, Abyss Mages don't have the same stubborn will as they do in games, where they'll fight to the bitter end no matter who they face.
At least, the Abyss Mage before them, surrounded by Bai Ye, Hu Tao, Chongyun, Xiangling, and Xingqiu, immediately chose to surrender.
"Behave and charge us. We won't hurt you then!"
Bai Ye said to the Electro Abyss Mage with a smile.
The Abyss Mage paused for a moment, but then obediently began to channel electricity into the engine.
After generating power for a long time, Bai Ye saw that the Abyss Mage was so exhausted it was even spitting blood. He knew it had been squeezed dry and had nothing left.
He tossed it aside, planning to take it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs later to see if it could be exchanged for some Mora there.
His prey had to be completely exploited for all its worth.
Next, it was time to drive.
Bai Ye looked at the truck door.
Hmm...
Anemo Genshin Eye activated.
Bai Ye jumped up, opened the truck door, and then spun inside.
He then extended his hand to Hu Tao and the others.
"Come on, I'll take you for the first high-speed drive in Teyvat. Who wants to go first?"
"That would be me, of course!"
Hu Tao unhesitatingly rushed forward, grabbed Bai Ye's hand, and with a leap, also arrived in the driver's seat.
"There's still one spot. Who's next?"
The truck's cabin was quite spacious, easily accommodating three youths.
All five could fit, but it would be too crowded, so that was out.
Xingqiu and the others looked. Chongyun and Xingqiu took a step back.
"Xiangling, you go!"
"Huh? Alright then."
Xiangling was taken aback for a moment, then agreed. She then hopped into Bai Ye's truck as well.
Well, three youths who haven't even reached the age to get a driver's license are about to drive a large truck.
This whole thing doesn't seem very reliable.
However, Liyue hadn't established traffic laws yet, so there were no traffic police to enforce them.
With the three of them in the truck, Bai Ye immediately started the engine.
Let's go, time to race!
Watching the truck start, even the workers who had helped assemble it were amazed.
The truck could start without being pulled by beasts.
The workers looked at the moving truck, feeling that Liyue might be on the verge of a tremendous change.
Bai Ye took Xiangling and Hu Tao for a good drive around the wilderness.
During the drive, he also had Hu Tao and Xiangling calculate the truck's speed.
Bai Ye wasn't entirely sure about the energy released by Elemental Reactions in this world.
But to Bai Ye's surprise, the Elemental Reaction was exceptionally good.
Bai Ye directly sped up to one hundred mph in the wilderness.
After one round, Bai Ye returned to the starting point. Hu Tao was still eager for more, but it was time to switch to Chongyun and Xingqiu.
He took Chongyun and Xingqiu for another lap.
Bai Ye knew his invention was a success.
Next, it was time for mass production and supplying it to the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
In the marketplace of Liyue Harbor, "Hmm, I need a lot of these Jueyun Chilis. Can you give me a better price..."
Dori was haggling with the merchants selling goods.
Even though she felt she was about to make a big profit, she couldn't let go of a few Mora in discounts.
After much bargaining, Dori finally secured a suitable discount and completed the transaction.
"It feels so good to earn Mora,"
Dori narrowed her eyes, smiling as she touched the Mora in her wallet.
This trip to Liyue was worth it, she felt.
Not only did she manage to offset her potential losses, but she also made a small profit.
She hadn't anticipated the chaos in Port Ormos, but before that, she had already accepted orders from several Liyue fresh goods suppliers. If she failed to deliver, she would have to pay substantial compensation.
That was worse than losing her life.
So, to transfer this compensation risk, she made a deal with the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
Successfully, she turned a potential loss into a profitable venture.
"Heh heh, this isn't my fault. Your own greed led you to this," Dori muttered to herself.
She felt no guilt whatsoever in swindling merchants like herself.
In fact, she hoped to swindle even more.
After purchasing the goods at the market, Dori ordered her subordinates, who had accompanied her to Liyue, to load the cargo onto the Dravya Beasts.
"Mora loves me, and I love Mora," Dori said with a smile, looking at Liyue Harbor and feeling increasingly fond of the port.
"It was worth revering Rex Lapis so much; he truly is watching over me."
Dori even considered buying something to express her admiration for Rex Lapis.
However, she then thought that as Rex Lapis, who possessed so much Mora, he surely wouldn't care about this small amount. So, she decided to express her sentiments in her heart.
Upon arriving outside, She happened to run into Xingqiu's father.
"Oh, the boss of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, you're here to pick up goods today too. I've already selected my cargo; the next step is for you to transport it to Sumeru. Remember, these are all fresh goods. If the delivery is delayed, and they spoil, you'll have to compensate for the losses according to the contract."
However, unlike the angry expression Dori had expected, the boss of the Feiyun Commerce Guild looked at her with a smile.
"Don't worry, this is a rule of business, and we are well aware of it."
This cheerfulness made Dori feel a little flustered.
Could it be that he really had a way to deliver them on time?
If that were the case, after deducting the shipping fees, she would actually lose money.
No, no, In this situation, there was no way they could deliver to Sumeru.
He must be putting on a brave face.
"Alright, I'll lend you these Dravya Beasts for now. You can use them to transport the goods," she said to Xingqiu's father.
"Oh, we don't need those Dravya Beasts. We have new means of transportation for the goods. Please, have the Dravya Beasts take the cargo over first so we can load it."
Dori was skeptical, but she still had her subordinates lead the Dravya Beasts to follow Xingqiu's father.
After walking for a while, they arrived at an open space.
Dori saw several strangely shaped vehicles parked in the open space.
Upon closer inspection, They were all made of fine iron.
"You can't be serious, can you? If these iron contraptions were pulled by Dravya Beasts, it would probably take several of them to move just one."
Dori's eyes widened, her glasses nearly sliding off her nose.
I calculated it. The money I'm scamming from you isn't excessive. The Feiyun Commerce Guild will feel the pinch, but they won't go bankrupt. Have you gone mad?
"Why couldn't they?"
At this moment, the door of the first vehicle opened, and Bai Ye jumped out from the driver's seat.
Immediately, Behind him, Hu Tao and Xingqiu also jumped out.
Bai Ye looked at Dori, thinking that now was the time to let this merchant from Sumeru experience what Liyue speed truly was.
