Original God, looking for the heart

Due to the efforts of Beidou and its fleet, "Death Star" plunged into the thunderstorm. The ship was bumping and Beidou was busy. Finally, a ray of light penetrated the clouds and reflected on the bow of the ship.

What comes into view are mountains. There are not many plants, mostly exotic trees. Then, there is the port and the houses around the port. Here is an inlet, with wooden houses surrounded by fiery red maple leaves. Only the purple roof and eaves were uncovered, with one corner sticking out.

In addition, there are cherry blossoms here. At the port, there is also a sitting stone statue of a fox.

Mo Bei was born in Daozu, but he has never been to Daozu City.

As Sister Beidou got off the boat, a man stopped throwing mola and walked towards them.

The man has green eyes and medium-length blond hair, which is tied into a small braid with a red hemp rope and placed on the back of his neck. Wearing a black undershirt and a contrasting red and black leather jacket with a stand-up collar, the Kamisato family tsubaki pattern is embroidered on the right sleeve, and a triangular metal patch is tied to the left shoulder with a three-color tassel shoulder rope. On his right forearm, he wears a large sleeve armor of flaming colors, and on his belt is a true red blazing fire armor.

"Hey, the eldest sister of Liyue people, please let me wait easily!"

Beidou introduced: "This is Toma, the business partner I contacted recently. If you have anything you don't understand about Inazuma, you can ask him. If he bullies you, I will ask him next time I come to Inazuma." Stand up for you!"

Thomas smiled happily: "Hahaha, don't worry, sister, I have a hunch that we will get along very harmoniously."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Beidou put down a batch of goods and left on the grounds that "there was a wanted criminal hidden on the ship and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time."

As the "introducer", Thomas first took them to the inspection station to register.

"This guy actually took out the documents when we were so embarrassed by being asked!" Paimon was fooled by Thomas's careful trick. When he was asked by the site staff and couldn't answer the next sentence, Thomas handed over the document and said, "Let's see what you do."

——Inazuma, Supervisor of the Far Country——

When he arrived at the Yuanguo Supervisory Department, Tomako came in handy.

Paimon: "What? It costs three million Mora to complete the residency procedures?!"

The supervisor named Bai Hehua: "One person is one million molas, three people is three million. I calculated correctly."

The innocent Mo Bei almost gave out three million molas, but fortunately Toma appeared in time: "These two are my friends. Miss, look, do you think I look familiar?"

"It's Mr. Toma." Lily Hua recognized it immediately, "In this case, for Mr. Toma's sake, six hundred thousand molas will be enough."

Mo Bei, who had just wanted to pay, suddenly paused. He also wants to learn this kind of bargaining technique!

"Thank you so much, Miss Yurihua!" Toma took advantage of the victory, "But in my opinion, the handling fee... nine hundred molas is enough, I will pay for them. Plus treat you to a meal, how about it?"

"How can we still bargain like this?" Mo Bei thought to himself, "If this is the case, can we still succeed in bargaining?"

Seemingly responding to Mo Bei's idea, Lily Hua agreed without much thought: "Okay. Then I'll register it with Mr. Toma."

Ah haha, it actually happened, cutting three million molas into nine hundred.

Several people suppressed their surprise and registered first. They didn't dare to discuss it until they left the Yuanguo Supervisory Department.

Kong: "Is there any hidden secret here?"

Thomas explained that the "handling fee" does not exist. All this money flows into their pockets, it’s just a matter of how much. "If there is a wealthy foreign businessman at this time who is honest and submissive..."

"You can give him a huge sum of money!"

Sora also asked if anyone resisted. The answer I received was "I am a stranger in a foreign land." It seems that, at least as "strangers", they have no choice for the time being.

Since Thomas's introduction, all the strangers could do was huddle together for warmth, which is how the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations came about. As a "local snake" on the outlying island, he has a way to introduce Kong to General Raiden, but the prerequisite is that they have to help the "Universal Chamber of Commerce" solve some problems.

“Finding a way to make everyone happy is what I do.”

"That's nice to say," Paimon said, thinking he had exposed Thomas' true identity, "You just want to be a middleman who earns favors!"

Thomas was startled: "Hey! Why do I feel like I have become the villain you call me?...Forget it, never mind. The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations has always been in a difficult situation of survival, and some recent situations have intensified. You guys Go take a look, maybe you can be of some help."

——Ina Wife, Chamber of Commerce of All Nations——

When the president of the Chamber of Commerce saw Kong and Mo Bei, he immediately asked them if they had been bullied by Yuan Guo Supervisor. It was a relief to know that they had friends to help them.

After chatting with the president, I learned that what really troubled the Chamber of Commerce was not the "lockdown order" but the taxation and implementation of the regulations.

"With the recent promulgation of the law, the form of tax that needs to be paid has been changed from mola to a mineral called "crystallized bone marrow." "

Mo Bei couldn't help but interrupt the president's speech: "Sorry, did you just say crystallized bone marrow?"

"Yes."

"Haha," Mo Bei laughed gloomily twice, even shocking Kong and Paimon, "These guys are really nothing... crystallized bone marrow, how do they know how costly it is to take crystallized bone marrow? matter!"

Utopia tried to comfort Mo Bei, but what effect could it have in this situation?

Mo Bei became more and more excited. During the time when he was on Taolsha, he had seen how the lives of those who took crystallized bone marrow with him passed away bit by bit.

"...Crystalized bone marrow is a very dangerous mineral. I have seen people who collect those minerals become manic and unable to control their behavior. In the end, they can only watch themselves die from vomiting blood. .”

"President, in addition to this, the "people above" may have other methods. "

"Yes, crystallized bone marrow has been monopolized by them now. Not to mention the high price, the key is that we only have one channel to import crystallized bone marrow."

After listening, Mo Bei continued to add: "Their purpose of changing the tax from mola to crystallized bone marrow is probably to please General Thunder. Although crystallized bone marrow is dangerous, it is an extremely superior forging material. Now that they have the money, Gaining momentum again...what a good calculation."

With his eyes lowered, Mo Bei remembered how he and the people of Taosha were oppressed. If the people below cannot survive well, they will inevitably seek more benefits for themselves.

This was...the reason that led to the separation between him and Qingqi.

It was also the promise he had made.

"Sora, let's go our separate ways for now. You go help the president get that batch of goods."

"how about you?"

"Yeah, I have other tasks. After all, helping the president to get the goods is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. I want to solve these problems fundamentally."

"……and you?"

"Let me try it first."

"...I know. We'll see you again, right."

"inevitable!"

Just a simple goodbye.

Mo Bei turned around and stepped into a maple leaf forest, and his figure faded among the maple leaves.

He couldn't keep his admirer waiting any longer.
