A-Xu: "It's fine, it's fine. I'm only speculating. Let me guess what the letter says."
Paimon: "Can he even read it?"
Laughter erupted everywhere again. It would have been understandable if someone who had never been to school couldn't read, or if someone simply had terrible handwriting.
But Xingqiu was the renowned second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
Even his speech was refined and literary.
The contrast couldn't have been starker.
The only person looking unhappy was Mao Cai Gong. After all, he was the "villain" in this story.
Paimon: "But Liyue is so big. Buying up all its cor Lapis would cost a lot, wouldn't it?"
A-Xu: "There's no need to worry about the purchasing expenses." A-Xu promptly took out five million Mora.
It was the first time Paimon had ever seen so much money.
[Arataki Itto: Five million Mora? I've never seen that much money in my entire life!]
[Thoma: Just what you'd expect from the Feiyun Commerce Guild. They've got money to burn.]
[Diluc: Only five million? I thought it would be ten million. Still, it should be enough to buy up this batch of stock in Liyue.]
[Paimon: Master Diluc has money to burn too.]
[Xiangling: @Zhongli, remember to bring money the next time you go out, sir.]
[Lumine: @Venti, remember to pay me back soon. I covered your meal last time.]
[Kaedehara Kazuha: So Mondstadt and Liyue each have one.]
[Yae Miko: Why are they just like our Shogun, going out without any money? @Ei]
[Kujou Sara: Lady Guuji, you must not disrespect the Shogun. Why would the Shogun need to carry money? I'll be by her side.]
[Ei: Next time we meet, perhaps I'll strike first and give you a slash.]
Everyone sucked in a sharp breath. The Thunder God really was in the livestream room.
[Yae Miko, with a cute expression: Don't be so cold. I'd dodge it anyway.]
In the livestream, Lumine and Paimon bought up all the cor Lapis in Liyue on behalf of the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
Finally, they bought Chang the Ninth's cor Lapis at its original price.
Paimon: "Let's go to the Feiyun Commerce Guild's warehouse and watch the show."
Xingqiu was already waiting at the warehouse.
Xingqiu: "Just imagine Mao Cai Gong scouring all of Liyue without finding so much as half a piece of cor Lapis. He'll be terrified. Without the materials to fulfill his contract, he'll offend the Fatui."
[Amber: So that's it.]
[Ningguang: I saw through it long ago. A very Liyue way of doing business.]
[Xingqiu: A trifling trick. Naturally, it can't compare with Lady Ningguang of the Liyue Qixing.]
Sure enough, Mao Cai Gong arrived with the Fatui.
Mao Cai Gong: "Sir, I'm counting on you. Seize all the cor Lapis here!"
The two sides immediately came to blows.
The Fatui Agent was no match for Lumine, while Xingqiu displayed exquisite swordsmanship and mastery of his Hydro Vision.
"Fatal Rainscreen!"
"Raincutter!"
They defeated the Fatui once again.
Fatui Agent: "You've got some skill. You're no ordinary opponents... If we keep fighting, our losses will become unacceptable. Our relationship with you was strictly business to begin with. You caused this trouble yourself. We're leaving!"
Mao Cai Gong wailed, "No, don't go! Sir! Sir!"
It was immensely satisfying. People in Liyue, Mondstadt, Inazuma, Fontaine, and Sumeru all clapped and cheered.
[Hu Tao: That's what you call shooting yourself in the foot.]
[Chongyun: That certainly is Xingqiu's style.]
[La Signora: Hmph. A bunch of useless fools!]
[Ningguang: Who is this lady?]
[Diluc: The Eighth of the Fatui Harbingers, codename La Signora.]
[Thoma: Even Fatui members can enter the Elite Livestream Room?]
[Tartaglia: You all still have many misconceptions about us Fatui. La Signora is a little cold and proud, but she's merely displeased that these Fatui Agents resorted to violence.]
Although Tartaglia tried to smooth things over, Ningguang and the others, as well as Jean and Lisa, grew increasingly wary of the Fatui.
[La Signora: Childe, keep your people in line. Liyue is your responsibility.]
On-screen, Mao Cai Gong finally realized, "Damn it, you're the second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild."
He realized he had picked a fight with the wrong person, and Xingqiu's actions hadn't violated any of Liyue's laws.
Xingqiu: "Why don't we settle this through business instead?"
Mao Cai Gong: "Damn it... Tell me, what will it take for you to sell to me?"
Xingqiu smiled. "One good turn deserves another. In that case, the price will be..."
Ding-At how many times the original price will Xingqiu sell to Mao Cai Gong? Please choose! 1: Three times the price 2: Five times the price 3: Seven times the price Participants in the Regular Livestream Room will be randomly selected to answer. Correct answers will receive no reward. Those who answer incorrectly must run ten laps around their city. Everyone in the Elite Livestream Room except Xingqiu must answer. Those who answer incorrectly will receive a group punishment after this livestream. You have two minutes to consider.
[Ningguang: A group punishment?]
[Jean: This is getting more and more outrageous.]
[Xingqiu: Oh my, oh my. I'm so touched. For the first time, I feel like I can hold my head high.]
[Yanfei: Hmph, look at that smug Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Amber: Hmph, look at that smug Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Hu Tao: Hmph, look at that smug Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Yoimiya: Hmph, look at that smug Cross-Dressing Master!]
[Xingqiu: Please, don't be like that. I was only joking. Even if I had to answer, I wouldn't be completely certain.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: This mysterious livestream quiz mixes truth with deception, but there are still clues we can follow. Let me help everyone eliminate one wrong answer.]
