Chapter 53

Even the earth was shaking.

"What sound is that?"

The merchant named Old Han looked toward the sound.

He saw a black monster, spewing smoke, whistling from the distance along the tracks.

The speed was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived not far from them.

"This... what is this?"

"Could this be the train!!!"

"Go take a look quickly..."

Seeing the black long dragon stop, everyone ran over one after another.

Such a means of transportation.

They hadn't seen it before.

And the entire Liyue Harbor was also awakened by the sound of the train, with countless people swarming over.

All wanting to witness the appearance of the train.

"Have you heard? The train has been developed; from Guili Plains to Liyue Harbor, it only takes one hour!"

"My god, this speed is too fast."

"Hurry, I heard they are also selling electric lights. If we go late, I'm afraid we won't even get a scrap..."

"What? Electric lights? Wait for me."

Everyone accelerated their pace.

By the time they arrived at the station near Mount Tianheng.

It was already overcrowded.

[There will be another chapter later...]. ===== CHAPTER 152 =====

"My god, is this cast from steel... it looks so spectacular, how many people can it pull?"

"Is this the train? What is pulling it, could it be the divine power used by Lord Rex Lapis?"

"Pfft... this is technology, do you understand? Technology!!!"

Among the onlookers, there were people who read the Liyue newspaper every day.

Naturally, they understood the general situation of the train.

Just like electric lights.

The train was also a product of technology.

However, unlike those mechanical constructs in the ruins.

These machines were for the benefit of humanity.

They had no intelligence.

And would not have intelligence.

This was very safe.

"According to the data published in yesterday's newspaper, this train can carry three hundred passengers and pull one thousand tons of cargo, and it only takes one to one and a half hours to reach Guili Plains.

And, today is just a test run.

The real train speed will be much faster!"

Listening to the scholar's explanation, the ordinary people exclaimed.

Carrying three hundred passengers.

One thousand tons of cargo.

What a spectacular number.

You know, when they usually travel, it takes almost a day to reach Wangshu Inn.

If riding a horse, it takes half a day.

But now, it only takes one hour.

The merchants calculated and were overjoyed; transporting goods in the future would be even simpler.

Just imagine.

In the future, goods made in Liyue Harbor can be handed directly to the Millelith and transported to Guili Plains.

How much effort would that save.

No need to worry about Hilichurls causing trouble.

No need to calculate whether it is cloudy or rainy.

Safe.

Convenient.

This is what they needed!

As the train opened.

Hu Tao and the others were the first batch of passengers to get off.

"Woohoo... so fast, it's so fun... I want to do it again in a while!"

Just after landing, this little girl started chattering non-stop.

Although Su Han stopped her several times on the way not to stick her head out.

She just wouldn't listen.

Saying that the wind blowing was too exciting.

And Ningguang walked off the train elegantly and came before the public.

"This train voyage was very successful, however... it is currently still in the testing stage, and it will be open for formal voyages in a few days.

Everyone don't be sad, although you cannot ride the train today.

However, there is still a surprise to give you.

Starting today, Liyue will have its own bank, at the same time... those who open an account at the bank will receive a limited purchase ticket for household electric lights.

Each household is limited to three.

As for the price, you can purchase them at the limited-item shop...

At the same time, merchants who deposit money in the Liyue Bank will enjoy priority use of train cargo, and specific details can be inquired at Yuehai Pavilion..."

Before everyone could react.

The Millelith began to unload the electric lights from the train.

Their designs were very beautiful.

Some were plants.

Some were flowers.

And you could even choose the color.

The people of Liyue looked at the electric lights with envy, and so did the merchants from other countries.

Only the Fatui were very uncomfortable.

They had always used the Northland Bank to run rampant in other countries.

Now they were countered by Ningguang.

The most critical thing was that the other party's moves were even more ruthless.

Want to buy electric lights?

Sure, go open an account at Liyue Bank.

As long as you deposit a little money, you can get the purchase ticket.

Holding the ticket, you can buy electric lights.

Safer than candles.

Cheaper than candles.

This was aimed at ordinary people.

If it were those merchants, it would be even more fatal. ===== CHAPTER 153 =====

Do you want to use Liyue's train?

If you want to, go deposit money.

This blow went straight into the heart of the Northland Bank, ruthless and merciless.

Ningguang looked at the figures leaving in a hurry, a flash of disdain in her eyes; this was just the beginning.

Within three months.

I want to make it so there is no place for the Fatui in all of Liyue!!!

With the strategy provided by Su Han.

She quickly established the banking system.

Various benefits.

And promotional activities.

Could attract countless people!

As long as their financial path is cut off, the follow-up won't be simple!

On this day, the news of the train spread throughout Liyue, but this train did not stay in Liyue for long.

Half an hour later.

It set off for The Chasm.

Inside Wanmin Restaurant.

"Hey... have you heard? Something made entirely of steel can actually be four times faster than a carriage!"

"Of course I heard, and... I also heard that the train will be open soon, I really want to sit on it and try. It's so exciting..."

"Going to Mondstadt will be simple in the future, you can make a round trip in one day."

"Hehe, that's true... Mondstadt's wine is especially delicious."

"Do you think that after this route opens, Mondstadt's wine will also be cheaper?"

"Certainly, it used to be very far away. Transportation required a lot of resources and time, but now it only takes a few hours to arrive.

Naturally, the price will drop."

Everyone discussed endlessly.

Today's topics were all focused on the train and electric lights.

Of course, the birth of Liyue Bank.

Also became a topic of discussion.

"Do you think Lady Ningguang's bank is safe?"

"Nonsense, Tianquan Ningguang is the richest person in Liyue; if she doesn't have credibility, who does? And didn't you notice.

When Lady Ningguang spoke today.

That national treasure was standing beside her.

I heard that this train and the bank are both from his hands!"

"Really?"

"Of course, otherwise think about it... why weren't there trains before? No banks... it must have been the national treasure."

"Now that you mention it, it seems that since the national treasure appeared. Our Liyue seems to be getting better and better... The Chasm, which was sealed a year ago.

Is also open today.

And they are even recruiting workers.

The official statement is that the problem of The Chasm has been completely solved."

"As expected of the national treasure, he is simply a lucky star."

Everyone laughed, agreeing very much.

Inside the Northland Bank mansion.

After hearing the news, Tartaglia was numb; his body was covered in injuries, which were the side effects of activating the Foul Legacy.

"Is it him again..."

"Heh, what a troublesome guy. He made us Fatui suffer such a big loss, yet we have no chance to get close..."

"If only there was a chance to catch him."

At this moment, on the face of this Harbinger.

Was full of anger.

He hated him to the bone.

But just as he said.

Su Han usually doesn't go out, and when he does, he only stays within Liyue Harbor.

Otherwise, he is followed by a group of people.

How could he make a move?

That day, other countries also received news from Liyue.

Their reactions were all different.

Inside Mondstadt.

Jean saw what was published in the news and said happily: "Lisa, their train has been developed and has sailed... this is truly a great joy.

Hmm?

Why do you look so unhappy."

"You only focused on the train, but completely ignored Ningguang’s intention; she is killing many birds with one stone. I originally thought driving out the Treasure Hoarders.

Was already a very ruthless move.

Now I know.

This is just a warm-up.

Look here..."

Lisa presented the back of the newspaper to Jean.

After reading it, the latter couldn't help but exclaim: "Liyue Bank? To buy electric lights, you must open an account... this is killing the heart.

The Fatui will go crazy, right."

Everyone knows the Fatui’s Northland Bank.

Opened in all countries.

It is both a base for the diplomatic mission and their intelligence headquarters.

Although they hate them to the bone.

They have no way to deal with them.

However, today Ningguang taught everyone a lesson.

This set of combo punches is not only aimed at civilians, but even at all merchants.

And no one can resist.

This temptation.

"What do you think if we follow suit?"

Jean asked tentatively.

She had been tortured to numbness these days and had long wanted to vent her anger.

But Lisa shook her head and said: "We don't have such necessities."

The other party's electric lights are something the common people really need.

Where do they have such things?

"If we don't have them, we can ask Ningguang to purchase some, in the name of the official, as long as we can get some, we can..."

"Jean, stop fantasizing. Mondstadt is a free city-state, if you do this, those merchants will say you restricted their freedom.

Besides, our Knights of Favonius only have military power.

Not that much Mora."

"This..." ===== CHAPTER 154 =====
