Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

Beidou stood on the bow of The Crux, leaning on her greatsword with one hand, a resolute expression on her face, looking disdainfully at the terrifying thunderstorm area not far away.

Just a moment later, the majestic and grand Crux fearlessly charged into the center of the thunderstorm area.

In an instant, the sky suddenly changed color, heavy clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.

Dozens of bolts of lightning, thick as towering trees, descended from the sky, carrying the might to destroy everything.

These wild bolts of lightning, like the wrath of a god, possessing invincible power, struck The Crux directly.

Facing the terrifying power of the lightning, Beidou showed no fear.

Her Electro Vision at her hip shone with dazzling purple light, like a brilliant star.

Wild Electro power rapidly condensed on her greatsword, the blade surrounded by purple electric light, containing the boundless might of heaven and earth.

Beidou gripped her greatsword with both hands, her stance straight and tall, mighty and imposing like a legendary goddess of war.

With immense force, she swung her sword towards the sky, every strike accurately hitting the descending bolts of lightning.

The bolts of lightning that were originally enough to destroy everything were like child's play under her sword, one after another cut down and dissipated.

Under her protection, all the bolts of lightning were successfully fended off, not a single one able to land on the deck of The Crux.

Captain Beidou

Kazuha, not far away, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the 'Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean'!"

In all of Inazuma, probably only Kujou Sara, beneath the Raiden Shogun, could stand on equal footing with her and compete.

Not long after, The Crux successfully passed through this violent thunderstorm area.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a stretch of clear blue sea and sky, with a vast, cloudless sky.

Beidou took a few deep breaths, put away her greatsword, then casually picked up a bottle of wine from the deck and tilted her head back for large gulps.

The rich aroma and spiciness of the wine mingled together, giving her an indescribable sense of comfort and exhilaration.

......................

Soon after, the outline of Fudé Port gradually became clear in the sight of everyone on The Crux.

As the ship continuously approached, the surprise on everyone's faces became more evident.

A modern port city was under enthusiastic construction, some areas already taking initial shape, new and spectacular.

Although they had known beforehand about the West Factory planning to build a port city, the construction speed and scale before their eyes still exceeded their imagination.

And among this group of people, the most shocked was undoubtedly Kazuha.

He had personally visited Yashiori Island, and at that time, the island was experiencing the disaster of the ward being destroyed and evil spirits rampant, the scene desolate and ruined.

But at this moment, what he saw instead was a scene of vibrant life and revival.

About an hour later, The Crux steadily docked at the Fudé Port pier.

Beidou and Kazuha stepped down from the ship, setting foot on this emerging land.

As soon as they landed, a gentle and refined young man came forward to greet them.

His face was handsome and gentle, always wearing a faint smile, exuding an approachable demeanor.

However, Beidou and Kazuha knew well the coldness and decisiveness behind this young man.

"Captain Beidou, Mr. Kaedehara Kazuha, welcome!" the young man said, stepping forward courteously to greet them.

Beidou also replied politely, "Mr. Yide, you're too kind."

After brief pleasantries, Lin Yide led Beidou and Kazuha to the newly completed West Factory office building.

In a spacious and simple conference room, they sat down and began their discussion.

Beidou got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Yide, in what areas do you wish to pursue business cooperation with The Crux?"

Lin Yide's eyes showed appreciation. Dealing with the straightforward Beidou, without needing to beat around the bush, made him feel at ease.

He explained in detail, "To be precise, this is a three-party business cooperation between the West Factory, The Crux, and the Tianquan, Ningguang.

We will be responsible for producing goods, which will be transported to Liyue Harbor by The Crux and then sold by Ningguang.

Subsequently, The Crux will transport the products needed by Fudé Port back, and our West Factory will be responsible for selling them."

Beidou pondered for a moment after hearing this, then raised a question, "Are you so certain Ningguang will agree to cooperate with you?"

Lin Yide smiled slightly and said confidently, "Captain Beidou, although our West Factory is not as powerful as the Fatui in all aspects, our intelligence network is quite sensitive.

For example, regarding the relationship between you and Ningguang, we also have some understanding."

For Ningguang to go from a barefoot girl selling goods to become the wealthiest person in Liyue, solely relying on effort is far from enough.

If she didn't have sufficiently powerful backing, she would have long ago been swallowed up in the cruel business wars.

And the building and maintenance costs for a colossal warship like The Crux are undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Once these things are understood, the relationship between Ningguang and Beidou becomes self-evident.

Beidou's face remained calm as water; she wasn't concerned about the leak of this information and continued to press the question, "So, what market-competitive goods can Fudé Port provide? As far as I know, aside from some agricultural products, Yashiori Island doesn't seem to have other unique goods."

Lin Yide remained silent and took out from his pocket a radiant Sango Pearl, a fresh Naku Weed, and a can of fish.

Beidou only glanced quickly at the Sango Pearl and Naku Weed but showed strong interest in the can of fish.

She opened the can, and a faint aroma of fresh sea fish immediately filled the air.

"How much Mora do you plan to price this can of fish?" she inquired.

Lin Yide slowly said, "Our canned fish will differ based on quality and type, and the cheapest variety is priced at one thousand Mora."

After hearing this price, Beidou made her decision without hesitation, "The Crux is very willing to cooperate with you."

Subsequently, the two further discussed the specific model of business cooperation in detail and reached a consensus, agreeing that The Crux would make a round trip between Fudé Port and Liyue Harbor every half month.

After the discussion ended, Beidou took the initiative to leave, leaving the conference room to Lin Yide and Kazuha.

"Mr. Yide, what exactly did you mean by that sentence you said before, 'That single slash did not reach, the time for Inazuma's change is approaching'?" Kazuha asked impatiently.

Lin Yide glanced at him and said in an understated tone, "It simply means removing the Raiden Shogun from power."

Kazuha's eyes widened in astonishment; he could hardly believe his ears.

He tried to calm his agitated emotions and said in a trembling voice, "The Raiden Shogun is one of the Seven Archons, the most supreme and dreadful incarnation of thunder in this world, wielding the Narukami of her authority, the seeker of eternity on a solitary path of annihilation."

"But... what of it?"
