After picking out the desserts, everyone planned to feast.
Only Ganyu was there, watching longingly, wanting to eat but not daring to.
At noon, Xavier had finally made a low-fat meal for him, which tasted really good and wasn't dry at all.
But looking at the desserts in front of him, it seemed the low-fat meal wasn't as delicious anymore; just looking at them made one's mouth water.
Especially seeing how deliciously everyone else was eating, it made Ganyu even more distressed.
Keqing asked, "Ganyu, are you really not going to have a bite?"
Although Keqing usually paid great attention to his body management, he was not like Ganyu with an easy-to-gain-weight physique, so occasionally having a couple of bites was fine for him.
Ganyu quickly waved his hand and said, "No, thank you, I'm not very hungry, you all eat."
Ganyu said one thing but meant another, only able to watch longingly as everyone finished the desserts one by one.
Fortunately, after eating, everyone left the dessert shop and went to other places for "inspection."
During this process, the three of them—Keqing, Ningguang, and Ganyu—gained a lot, developing a deeper understanding of the new commercial system.
Upon returning in the evening, Ningguang thanked him, "Thank you, Xavier, if not for your help, we certainly would not have gained so much."
"Oh, it was just a small matter," Xavier said, not minding at all.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xavier planned to invite the three of them to stay for dinner.
However, all three were very busy people and insisted on returning.
They planned to deal with the unfinished tasks from the day in the evening.
"Oh, by the way, Ningguang, I might go to Liyue tomorrow, and I'll give you a surprise then!"
Before leaving, Xavier deliberately kept them in suspense.
"Oh really? In that case, we'll look forward to it."
The three left, but Xiao did not.
He seemed to have been in the same position the whole time, sitting motionless on the sofa, like a wooden stake.
"Xiao, Exalted Immortal, may I ask you for a favor!" Hu Tao suddenly ran over.
Xiao slightly raised his eyes and said, "What is it?"
"I saw many advertisements on Xiao Po Station that invite spokespersons, and the effect is very good."
"So I was thinking, if Vanquisher of Evil, you could endorse our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, it would definitely make business even better, right!"
Hu Tao's idea was indeed not bad; if Xiao were to endorse, it would certainly have a very good effect.
Xiao's eyelids couldn't help but twitch; he was not interested in Hu Tao's so-called suggestion at all.
"Director, how can an immortal interfere in mortal affairs? If we do that, wouldn't it be very unfair to other mortals?" Zhongli tried to excuse Xiao.
"Hmph, what do you know? This is called the alliance of immortals and mortals, this is the future of Liyue!"
Hu Tao mumbled, but knew it was probably impossible.
That night, after everyone went back, Xavier opened his Xiao Po Station again and found many netizens commenting under Teacher Ma's related videos.
And Teacher Ma's latest news had also been announced: Xavier had agreed to the challenge.
As soon as this news broke, everyone was in an uproar, expressing their desire to go and watch the battle.
The final chosen venue was a small stadium in Jiangcheng.
"Oh my god, what kind of cross-era sparring is this? I have to go see it!"
"Cyno vs. Ma Weiguo, even a fan-fiction creator wouldn't think of this, right?"
"Brothers, you're still bragging here, I've already bought my tickets!"
From this, it can be seen that everyone was extremely enthusiastic about this matter.
After reading these comments, Xavier edited the video he shot today, added background music, and uploaded it to Xiao Po Station.
He believed that this time, the shock he would give everyone would definitely surpass before.
After all, the real-world backgrounds captured in the video were the most important part, and he presumed no one on the entire network would be uninterested, right?
The next day, Xavier went to Teyvat early in the morning.
"Launch!"
Fortunately, there was a Statue of The Seven near Liyue Harbor, and after Xavier went there, he could quickly reach Liyue Harbor using his flying ability.
"Wow, looking at it this way, Liyue Harbor seems quite prosperous…"
Xavier flew in mid-air, looking down at Liyue Harbor, and couldn't help but exclaim.
When he took Ganyu and the others out to shoot videos before, he hadn't observed it carefully, but today, being here alone, he had the chance to observe it properly.
"Be careful, enemy attack!"
Xavier was admiring the beautiful scenery when a voice suddenly came.
He looked around and saw that it was the guards on the Jade Chamber; they were holding bows and arrows, aiming at Xavier.
Besides that, there were also several weapons that looked like Guizhong Ballistae.
The power of these weapons looked considerable; they could easily tear a person to pieces.
"Brothers, fire!"
With the command from the leading guard, arrows flew like raindrops.
"Oh my god, do they have to be so ruthless!"
Xavier was startled; although there were many arrows, fortunately, they couldn't harm him.
With a slight turn of his body, these arrows were pulverized.
Xavier shouted loudly at the people on the Jade Chamber, "I'm one of you, big brothers, I'm one of you!"
"Nonsense, I can tell you're not a good person just by looking at you."
"Brothers, keep shooting!"
After his words fell, they actually activated weapons similar to the Guizhong Ballistae.
The power of these weapons was indeed extremely strong, but unfortunately, they were still somewhat insufficient when facing Xavier.
Xavier simply spread his hand, and the launched projectiles vanished without a trace.
"What, he's actually that strong!"
A group of guards was stunned, truly not expecting Xavier to be so powerful.
While they were talking, Xavier had already arrived above the Jade Chamber, and the guards below, holding long spears, dared not approach.
"What is all this commotion?"
A familiar voice, Ningguang, came from within the room, slowly walking out.
Ningguang saw Xavier and smiled, "Oh, it's Xavier, I didn't expect you to come so early."
"Lady Ningguang, is this your friend?" The guard captain was a little surprised.
"Of course, but it's my fault; you weren't on duty here yesterday, and I should have informed you in advance today. It seems there was a misunderstanding."
Only then did the captain realize it was a misunderstanding and quickly apologized to Xavier, "I am truly sorry, we were too reckless!"
"It's fine, it's fine, you're just doing your duty. Working hard day in and day out, and still having to slave away for capitalists…"
For some reason, seeing these guards reminded Xavier of his past self. Alas, they were exactly alike.
But if that's the case, does Ningguang count as a capitalist?
Xavier shook his head; how could he think about such questions? He came here to help with Liyue's development.
Invited into the Jade Chamber, Ningguang personally poured tea for Xavier.
And soon after, Keqing and Ganyu also arrived at the Jade Chamber.
