I'm a male god in Liyue

"Understandable!"

"is it?"

"Yes! I promise I won't say a single careless word!"

"what?"

"Really! You didn't do anything! I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything!"

"...No, Miss Charlotte, are you mistaken about something?"

"It's a misunderstanding!"

"I was just giving Ningguang and Baishi a massage."

"Yes, it's just a massage!...Wait? A massage?"

"Yes."

"But isn't this a beverage shop?"

"It's a beverage shop, but it's also a massage parlor for the blind."

"what?"

Charlotte looked at Xia Zhi, who was looking very serious, and fell silent.

The store was warm and cozy.

Charlotte let out a slow sigh of relief. She had been so nervous that her back was sweaty and now felt a little cold.

Xia Zhi smiled.

"Does Fontaine not have any massage parlors for the blind?"

"some……"

"Then why is Miss Charlotte so surprised?"

"No, no... Lady Ningguang isn't ready yet?"

"She just finished her massage and is now taking a bath in the back. You'll have to wait a little while."

"Oh."

They chatted for a while longer, listening to Charlotte recount some of her interesting interview experiences.

"Miss Charlotte, are you going back to Fontainebleau as soon as the Lantern Festival ends?"

"That's not it."

"Ok?"

"I will organize the reports about the Lantern Festival and then post a request to the Adventurers' Guild, asking the adventurers to deliver it back to the guild for me. As for myself, I will stay in Liyue for a while because of Ningguang's invitation."

"That's it."

Just then, Ningguang came out from behind. Seeing that he seemed a little curious, she smiled and explained, "It's about the newspaper."

Xia Zhi asked thoughtfully, "Is Miss Ningguang planning to start a newspaper?"

"Yes, I actually had this idea before, but I had to give up because the cost of paper was too high. Now that we have produced our new paper, those problems have been solved, and we are in a position to do it."

"The material conditions are there, but the people..."

"So I found Miss Charlotte. She is a very professional journalist who has worked at the Steambird for many years and is very familiar with all aspects of the newspaper. She can help me set up the framework of the newspaper very well."

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "I see. It's quite a coincidence that Miss Charlotte is here in Liyue for the Lantern Festival..."

Ningguang smiled without saying a word.

This is not actually a coincidence.

Many newspapers have been trying to contact Ningguang, wanting to publish their own newspapers in Liyue, but Ningguang has refused them all.

Ningguang does not want this kind of thing, which is extremely manipulative of public opinion, to be controlled by outsiders.

Therefore, when Xia Zhi delivered the new papermaking technology, Ningguang began planning, on the one hand laying out strategies to deal with the existing paper merchants, and on the other hand preparing to establish Liyue's own official newspaper.

Charlotte wasn't the only person she had chosen; there were also some well-known reporters and editors from other newspapers.

In other words, Ningguang was always aware of Charlotte's and the others' itinerary, which is why she was waiting for Charlotte's arrival at the dock well in advance.

"Mr. Xia, I apologize for disturbing you tonight."

"Miss Ningguang, you're too kind."

"Yuehaiting has been very busy with official duties lately, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

After leaving the summer shop, Ningguang walked down the street with Charlotte and her secretary.

Charlotte curiously observed the streets of Liyue at night, sensing a completely different atmosphere from that of Fontaine Street.

Ningguang walked quietly for a while, until she was far away from Summer's Shop, before speaking, "Miss Charlotte, were you satisfied with the dinner?"

Charlotte nodded immediately, a look of satisfaction on her face: "Satisfied! Satisfied! This is the best meal I've ever had!"

"Do you know why I took you to visit Mr. Xia today?"

"...Does Lady Ningguang want me to do a special report on Mr. Xia's summer shop and promote its reputation?"

"Fame?"

Ningguang chuckled softly and shook her head.

"Mr. Xia, you've already tried the rainbow juice at your shop. Do you really think such a delicious drink wouldn't have any customers?"

"Do not……"

"I brought you here today... just to introduce you to Mr. Xia."

"what?"

That's it?

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

Just then, Ningguang arrived at the grand staircase of Scarlet Cloud Slope and started walking upstairs.

"Let's go, I'll show you where the Liyue Newspaper Office is located."

"Oh!"

The newly established Liyue Newspaper Office is located next to the Wanwen Collection House and adjacent to the original Liyue Publishing House.

Ningguang led Charlotte around the newspaper office and said, "The newspaper office will open tomorrow. I've already arranged the staff, but they don't have much experience, so I'll need you, as a senior, to guide them."

"I will."

"You can take them to the Lantern Festival and let them learn how to be a professional reporter by your side. As long as it doesn't violate the laws of Liyue during your interviews, we will do our best to cooperate with you."

"I understand!"

"During this period, you can get reimbursed for all your expenses through Baishi."

"Ok!"

"I know the predicament you're in right now. Because the truth revealed by the 'Exclusive News' touched on certain interest groups, you've received death threats. Your newspaper's boss sent you here to protect you. Work hard for me, and I'll help you resolve this through diplomatic means."

"Thank you, Lady Ningguang!"

"You must have had a long journey by boat, so please get some rest tonight. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems."

"Ok!"

in the bedroom.

Xia Zhi opened the system and looked at the few golden items he currently possessed:

[Blazing Incense Burner], [Hidden Hat], [Dream Pillow], [Master Key], [Resurrection Coin], [Heart Badge].

After accumulating these past few days, he has recovered over a thousand points from the purchase of the [First Meditation Method] and set items, enough to [evolve] a gold item to platinum quality.

Xia Zhi looked at them, then lowered his head and pondered.

The 【Blazing Incense Burner】is used for making incense, and its function is relatively simple. At present, it is not very useful.

【Help of Concealment】It allows you to enter a state of complete stealth where your presence is completely eliminated; it's very powerful.

[The Pillow of Different Dreams] allows him to enter the dream world, but he has now gained dream powers from his cousin and can also freely enter the dream world.

The universal key can open doors of various shapes and sizes, which is quite interesting.

The [Resurrection Coin] can revive you. It is a one-time use item, but it can also be purchased in the [Shop].

The [Heart Badge] can evolve the bloodline of monster species, but it's not currently useful.

After considering for a moment, Xia Zhi ultimately chose the Hidden Hat over the Master Key.

He opened the [Evolution] panel, put the [Hidden Hat] in it, and then clicked the Evolution button at the top.
