Following the information provided by Qin, Feng Yi arrived at the southeastern area of Mondstadt and immediately recognized the highly recognizable Dori.
At this moment, Dori looked anxious. He had been in Mondstadt for several days, but he hadn't sold a single item from his inventory. Furthermore, his expenses for accommodation and food had eaten into his meager savings.
If he lost money on this trip, he would have to find a fishing boat and work as a sailor to earn enough for his return fare.
Not far away, a plump Knights of Favonius guard was constantly watching him. Every time Dori tried to promote his goods to the residents of Mondstadt, this guard would rush out and foil his plans with some clumsy excuses.
Dori had never felt life was so difficult.
Just then, Dori noticed a young man in unusual clothing walking directly towards him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Would this young man be his first fat sheep... no, his first customer?
"Ahem, you little Dori, what are you doing in Mondstadt? I am the honorary knight of Mondstadt, a very good person, you don't need to be afraid..."
Feng Yi coughed a couple of times, cleared his throat, and then produced his high-level Inazuman accent.
According to his research into Japanese historical dramas in his previous life, this speech alone would earn him a general-level position in Inazuma!
Dori: ??? (His confused, beady eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses)
"Honorary Knight, what language are you speaking? I don't understand."
Dori only understood "Honorary Knight"; everything else was a blur.
"Inazuman! Can't you tell?"
Feng Yi thought, "With my standard Inazuman, you still don't understand? What a waste of your years living in Inazuma."
"Honorary Knight... you've been to Inazuma?"
Dori was starting to doubt his sanity. He had lived in Inazuma for so many years, how had he never heard such ridiculous Inazuman?
Could it be a dialect from some hidden tribe in Inazuma?
"No! Why?" wap.kanshu伍.net
Feng Yi looked righteous. Just because he hadn't been to Inazuma, couldn't he speak Inazuman?
"..."
Seeing the self-assured Honorary Knight, Dori decided to skip this topic. Since the other party could speak the common tongue of Teyvat, he would continue the conversation in the common tongue.
Compared to discussing how to speak Inazuman, Dori felt that making money was more important.
Dori: "Honorary Knight, our meeting is fate. I have a good business opportunity here, would you like to hear about it?"
Feng Yi: "No!"
Dori: "..."
Dori felt all his carefully prepared words were wasted. He had encountered a customer who didn't play by the rules!
"Ah, don't say that! I've done business in Liyue before, and my integrity is witnessed by the Geo Archon. Would I lie to you? Honorary Knight, why are you so quick to refuse? Listening won't cost you anything..."
It was rare to find a customer who wouldn't be bothered by that fat guard from the Knights of Favonius, and Dori wouldn't let him go easily.
Feng Yi: "No, no, a tortoise reciting scriptures!"
Dori: "Then why did the Honorary Knight come to me?"
Feng Yi: "I have a business opportunity and I'm looking for a partner..."
Dori: "..."
Dori was so frustrated he was speechless. He wanted to retort with "No!", but...
He was already out of money. If this customer was also angered and left, he would have to sleep on the streets and go hungry tonight!
"Alright, Honorary Knight, please tell me, what good business do you have?"
Dori finally chose to compromise with life.
"Shh~ Come closer, I'll only tell you. My teacher is an astrologer. He divined that Inazuma will soon implement the Vision Hunt Decree..."
(The implementation time of the Vision Hunt Decree is roughly one year before the Traveler arrives in Inazuma. The plot will unfold according to this setting.)
"Vision Hunt Decree? What is that? I've never heard of it. Tell me more, it sounds interesting..."
Dori stroked his mustache. He sensed a business opportunity in this unfamiliar term.
"Simply put, the Electro Archon will close the country's borders and confiscate the Visions of the Inazuman people... Think about it, once the borders are closed and trade with other nations is cut off, how precious will foreign goods within Inazuma become?"
Feng Yi's simple words caused an earthquake in Dori's heart.
Dori's current trip to Mondstadt was to hoard basic necessities, which he planned to sell at a high price later, making a substantial profit.
It was his keen merchant's intuition that made him sense something was wrong with Inazuma, although it wasn't as powerful as the Honorary Knight's teacher's astrology, he was still proud of it.
"So desu ne!"
Dori clenched his fist and slapped his hand, involuntarily exclaiming in Inazuman.
"So seize this opportunity, and earning millions of Mora a year is not a dream! However, with just the basic necessities you've hoarded, how much Mora can you make? It's better to hoard more unique foreign goods in Inazuma, then you can make a fortune!" kanshu伍.ξà
Feng Yi chuckled and continued to guide Dori.
"Good idea! But... I can't even get basic necessities, how can I get unique foreign goods?"
Dori's eyes lit up, but in the next moment, they dimmed. He didn't have enough seed capital. Even with such a great business opportunity laid out before him, he could only sigh in helplessness, wanting to act but lacking the means!
"It's okay if you don't have Mora, I can lend it to you!"
Feng Yi finally revealed his true intentions.
"What do you need me to do?"
Dori wasn't a fool. The other party was willing to help him not because they admired his stunning looks that captivated countless maidens, but because they had ulterior motives.
"I can lend you ten million Mora interest-free. You just need to help me complete a few small tasks..."
Feng Yi felt it was refreshing to talk to an intelligent person.
"First, help me get a legal document to reside in Inazuma. You've lived in Inazuma for a long time, so this shouldn't be difficult for you.
Second, while you're hoarding foreign goods, help me collect some rare ingredients, such as precious eggs and high-quality milk, etc. I'll give you a list later.
Third, be sure not to use the Mora I lend you to buy Taro coins!
Fourth, be sure not to use the Mora I lend you to buy Taro coins!
Fifth, be sure not to use the Mora I lend you to buy Taro coins!
Important things are said three times!"
Feng Yi considered that he might go to Inazuma soon, so he made some arrangements in advance.
"Is that all? No problem, leave it to me, Dori!"
Dori patted his chest and agreed. As long as the funds were in place, with his excellent business acumen, wouldn't this be a guaranteed success?
'By the way, what is this Taro coin that the Honorary Knight specifically emphasized? I'll investigate it carefully when I get back...'
