Forget it, I don't care what they're thinking; as long as I can gain popularity, that's all that matters.
Xavier suddenly thought of a very important matter and casually posted an update.
"Live stream will start promptly tomorrow morning! Everyone, please look forward to it; there will be many surprises!"
Although it was a very simple sentence, Xavier believed his fans would understand its true value.
Hmph, you little rascals, if I don't shock you to death, am I still the Great Demon King?
He checked his current popularity on the system, and it was indeed increasing rapidly, already over 1.5 million.
It was many times faster than before, but if no new works appeared, the growth rate would decrease.
However, as soon as he started the live stream, he expected his popularity to grow even more rapidly.
The next morning, Xavier didn't dawdle; he finished washing up, grabbed a piece of bread, and began to teleport.
"Swish!"
It was that familiar sensation.
When Xavier opened his eyes again, he was already in Liyue Harbor.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go shopping at the mall! Today is the third day of its opening, and there's a big promotional event!"
"Really? I heard there are many new clothes. Let's see if we can pick out a couple of pieces."
"Hurry, hurry! If we're late, everything will be snatched up…"
As soon as Xavier turned his head, he saw two women walking together, talking about going to the mall.
Xavier shook his head, wondering if he had come to the right place.
And when Xavier finally took in his surroundings, he realized it was even more outrageous than he had imagined.
Liyue's roads had been widened, and the surrounding shops had also undergone reforms.
Although there weren't too many major changes, it was more orderly and structured.
"Beep beep!"
Xavier was just marveling at Liyue's changes when a horn suddenly blared.
Xavier jumped in surprise and realized it was a car!
The driver in the car glanced at Xavier with dissatisfaction: "Young man, this is the road; you should walk on the sidewalk!"
Only then did Xavier notice that the ground was also covered with zebra crossings and other markings.
This made his head spin even more. Was he sure he had transmigrated to Liyue?
Xavier thought that he was, after all, a law-abiding good young man, and he absolutely could not violate the law, even if this was Liyue.
So he went to the edge of the sidewalk, wondering where to go next.
"Oh? Xavier, I didn't expect you to come, and so early too."
At this moment, Zhongli's voice came over. Xavier turned his head and saw that it was indeed him.
"So it's Zhongli."
Zhongli nodded and said, "I just finished breakfast and unexpectedly ran into you. You're here to see Ningguang and the others, aren't you?"
Xavier, of course, didn't hide it: "That's right. They invited me to take a look and see if there are any areas for improvement, but from the looks of it, I don't think I can offer much advice."
He shrugged, thinking that they had already made it so perfect that calling him over was somewhat redundant.
"You are, after all, from the Blue Star, so perhaps your perspective will be more unique. It was a wise decision to have you come and oversee it. If it were me, I would probably do the same."
Zhongli and Ningguang's ideas were quite similar.
Under Zhongli's guidance, Xavier roughly toured the current Liyue Harbor.
He found that there were not only cars but also buses, and even a train station in a more distant place!
When he saw the train station, Xavier felt a sense of crossing planes, yet not entirely crossing them.
What's more interesting is that these trains are vastly different from those on Blue Star; they don't burn oil or use coal.
The people of Liyue use special elemental power to drive them, which is not only more environmentally friendly but also quite stable.
Elemental power only requires special ores for cyclic use and does not require too many materials.
Zhongli spoke eloquently, introducing Xavier to some of the changes in Liyue today.
"Mr. Zhongli, you dropped something!" But just then, a voice called out to Zhongli.
The two turned their heads and saw that it was the little chef Xiangling.
Xiangling came panting to Zhongli, wiping the sweat from her forehead and saying, "Mr. Zhongli, you left your water bottle with me."
Zhongli took the thermos cup and thanked him, "Thank you, Xiangling. I left in a hurry and didn't realize I had left such an important item behind."
Xiangling glanced at the thermos cup and curiously said, "Mr. Zhongli is indeed an extraordinary person; even the cups he uses are different from others!"
Xavier chuckled, "Of course! Because that's the cup I gave him!"
"Eh, you are…"
Only then did Xiangling notice that next to Zhongli stood a stranger she had never seen before, and his clothing was also very unfamiliar.
"This is Xavier, from a world called the Blue Star. Speaking of which, the recent reforms and changes in Liyue are all thanks to young friend Xavier."
Xiangling was startled when she learned that Xavier was a great contributor to Liyue's reforms.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Wh-what? I can't believe he's such a big figure! Not only has he provided such great help to Liyue, but he also comes from another world!"
Xavier was a little embarrassed by Xiangling's praise. He scratched his head and said, "Ahem, actually, it's nothing. I just gave a few small suggestions; Ningguang and the others did a better job of implementing them."
"But even so, it's still amazing! Even if I racked my brains, I couldn't have thought of these things, like trains and airplanes! I've never even heard of them!"
Xiangling seemed very interested in Xavier and chatted with him for a long time.
As they chatted, they also talked about food from the Blue Star.
"By the way, you must have different cooking systems on your Blue Star, right?"
"Of course! We have eight major culinary traditions there, and actually, there are more than that, plus cooking methods from other countries, countless of them."
"Oh my goodness, that's amazing! If I could learn your Blue Star's cooking techniques, I could definitely improve further!"
Xiangling's eyes were filled with passion, as if she could already imagine the day she would study and improve on the Blue Star, then return home with her newfound skills.
"If that's the case, then I'll give you this opportunity, Xiangling!" Xavier extended his hand.
"Eh? What does this mean?" Xiangling asked, puzzled.
"You'll know once you hold it." Xavier played coy.
Xiangling didn't hesitate and held Xavier's hand.
She found that the moment she touched him, she possessed a special power, as if with a single thought, she could go to that place called the Blue Star.
She could even sense the general layout of Xavier's home; it was truly wondrous!
"Ah le le?"
Suddenly, Guoba trotted over, staring at Xavier with a curious expression.
"Oh, it's Guoba. Good morning!"
"Ah le le!"
Guoba waved at Xavier, greeting him, and seemed quite friendly.
"This is great, Guoba! Xavier is from another world. We can learn many new dishes from now on!"
Xiangling picked up Guoba and spun him around several times in the air.
"Oh? It's so lively today!"
Two more figures walked over, greeting them.
