Just as Jiang Xiaofeng was having a great time with Inazuma...
The Scarecrow team has already arrived in Liyue.
Surprisingly, many people like the Scarecrow's flowers.
This was all thanks to Anna entrusting her three guards to the Scarecrow, so they could help the Scarecrow sell flowers.
Although the Scarecrow hasn't grown any flowers other than roses yet, the fact that it only has roses is enough to drive the people of Liyue crazy.
After all, the three-person team was promoting the idea that "giving red roses is the best way to express love," but the people of Liyue have never had such a custom.
Moreover, the roses planted by the Scarecrow are really beautiful...
In short, the Scarecrow's roses were quickly sold from Mondstadt to Liyue.
Some people in Liyue also discovered this business opportunity and began to try cultivating roses themselves to compete with the Scarecrow for the market.
However, apart from the Scarecrow, no one else's roses would survive even if they were planted.
It wasn't that no one went to visit, hoping the Scarecrow would reveal how to grow roses.
However, after Calliope smashed the Scarecrow into a pulp with a heavy hammer on the first day when someone threatened him to hand over the rose cultivation method, no big merchants or strange people came to bother the Scarecrow anymore. Instead, the Millelith would come to investigate from time to time.
Among them, Keqing came the most frequently.
After all, Keqing, running all over Liyue Harbor every day...
Why?
It's just that Calliope killed that envoy who called himself Master Maocai and wanted to expand his business into other fields, and then the Scarecrow took him to the land he had acquired in Liyue to use as fertilizer.
The secret to growing roses with the Scarecrow is that there is no secret.
Because... after the Scarecrow had a sudden inspiration to water the flowers with the liquid that occasionally oozed from its mutated body, the roses grew so vigorously.
No, it should be said that the roses infected by the Scarecrow's bodily fluids are not roses at all, but a new variety that has the appearance of a rose.
The Scarecrow also noticed this, after all, the new flowers were grown in a different way than the flowers he had planted before.
I can still grow my old roses the same way, but the new variety needs to be watered from time to time with diluted bodily fluids.
Otherwise, the only outcome will be that the flower dies.
The Scarecrow's flower garden grew larger and larger, and it sold more and more roses.
After all, the roses that the Scarecrow sells are still the original varieties, and even the varieties that the Scarecrow used to grow are not ones that the people of Liyue can grow at will.
You'd have to learn from the Scarecrow for at least ten years to grow the flowers that the Scarecrow, the flower-growing expert, can grow.
We've gone off on a tangent...
When the Scarecrow learned that Jiang Xiaofeng was in Inazuma, he decided to go Inazuma to sell flowers.
So the Scarecrow returned to Mondstadt, found Anna who had taught Ellin how to chop logs, and then contacted Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng was experimenting with Dendro skills, such as creating vines or directly using Dendro to create a few seeds that could explode, when he learned that the Scarecrow was coming to sell his flowers to the Inazuma. So he casually opened a door and let the Scarecrow bring his belongings over.
Meanwhile, to prevent the Scarecrow from bothering him again, Jiang Xiaofeng gave the Scarecrow an Void Eye, adjusting it to have the ability to control space, allowing the Scarecrow to open doors and travel back and forth between the three countries on its own.
The Scarecrow put away the Void Eye, and was about to bow to the King when he was suddenly attracted by the green Vision in Jiang Xiaofeng's hand.
"Your Majesty, that is..."
Jiang Xiaofeng was having a great time when he suddenly heard the Scarecrow's question and casually replied, "The power of this world can control Elemental Power."
"Mine is a Grass-type Vision, but if you want it, I can make you a Void Eye..."
The Scarecrow nodded after listening.
"I really want one."
"After all, this thing seems to be able to help me grow flowers..."
Before the words were even finished, a green light suddenly appeared on the Scarecrow's hat.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "... Nice hat."
The Scarecrow:"?"
The Scarecrow shook its head and pulled something off its straw hat... a green Vision...
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
The Scarecrow:"???"
The Scarecrow, noticing its the King's somewhat unpleasant expression, spoke with a guilty tone.
"Your the King, I can assure you that I did not do it..."
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand.
He knew, of course, that it wasn't the Scarecrow that did it.
Although some people in his previous life said that the distribution of the Vision was related to the Heavenly Principles, Jiang Xiaofeng did not believe it.
How shameless of Heavenly Principles to keep watching the mortal realm every day to see who is worthy of possessing the Vision?
That's bullshit!
Jiang Xiaofeng was more inclined to believe that the predetermined outcome of the Vision's selection had been prepared long ago.
Otherwise, so many people with strong desires, whether ordinary citizens or Treasure Hoarders, would not have obtained the Vision.
On the contrary, it's people like Keqing who get the benefits but then act innocent, wanting to destroy the Vision even after obtaining it.
If you don't want the Vision, then put it away and don't use Elemental Power!
If you don't use Elemental Power and don't openly carry the Vision on your person, how will anyone know you are the holders of the Vision?
And then... he actually turned his attention to my men?
I have better ones! You bastard!
Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's face grow increasingly gloomy, the Scarecrow also started to panic.
The next moment, the Scarecrow opened the Starry Sky Gate, vanished instantly, and reappeared just as quickly.
Anna, who was teaching Ellin Dimensional Slash, was teleported over by the Scarecrow, who held her shoulders.
" The Scarecrow, you're dead if you don't give me a reason."
Anna glared at the Scarecrow.
The Scarecrow shook its head and pointed at Jiang Xiaofeng: " The Queen, His the King has gone mad again!"
Anna: "..."
Having exhaled and calmed down, Jiang Xiaofeng said, "..."
I think you should find a place to grow flowers.
You have three seconds to disappear.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Scarecrow teleported away skillfully to pick up the three-person team and his gardening tools.
Anna sighed and took Jiang Xiaofeng's hand, "What's wrong now?"
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his other hand and pressed down on Anna's small hand, then returned to the King's Box.
" The Scarecrow gained the Vision of this world."
"I was just a little emotional."
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed and lay down on the bed with Anna in his arms.
"I'm just uncomfortable with the way this world grants power."
Anna listened silently to Jiang Xiaofeng's rambling.
After Jiang Xiaofeng conquered Mondstadt, Anna also read many books within the Knights of Favonius and naturally knew the conditions for obtaining the Vision.
The problem is, it's confusing to determine whether this desire is too strong.
The ethereal notions of "the strongest in the world," "unwavering benevolence," and "unyielding waiting until death"—these desires for the Vision are clearly somewhat idealistic.
Anna simply couldn't believe that those who "needed the Vision for research," or "wanted to revitalize their families," or even those who "didn't want the Vision of Vision," actually obtained it.
It's as if the world is deliberately targeting certain pure-hearted people; the more you want power, the less power it gives you.
If you don't want this power, then he'll force it into your hands.
"So, that's why you keep casting Void Eye?"
Anna said softly.
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
"Some of my Void Eye are based on the Delusion, precisely to prevent people from acquiring Void Eye and then being tempted to use the Delusion instead."
Life is hard enough as it is, and we don't even know what will happen after we die, so we might as well use the power we have after death to gain peace in this life.
"Therefore, my Void Eye will cause the soul of the Void Eye holder to return to the Void after death, evolving into Void creature, which is the kind of shadow that the Eldest and his group have."
"Oh, speaking of the Eldest, they're almost finished evolving too. We should find Paimon and send the four of them to that world to fend for themselves."
Anna chuckled, "Being your son must be so tough."
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed helplessly, "Who told those four to be so troublesome? They have ambition but no ability."
"And, on another note..."
Jiang Xiaofeng rolled over and pinned Anna beneath him. "It seems we don't have a child yet..."
