Zhang Fan also exchanged some polite words and then explained his purpose to her.

"Please come in, Lord Ningguang has prepared tea for you two." Bai Wen politely led the two into the Qun Yu Pavilion.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the magnificent and golden palace, worthy of being the rich lady Ningguang.

Although I have seen Zhang Fan countless times in the game, it is still very surprising to see him again now.

Baiwen took the two of them to a place that looked like a reception room, which was furnished with several chairs and a long square table.

There are incense burners, tea, fruit bowls, etc. on the table.

Whether it is the material of the chairs, the layout on the table, or the collection of vases on the side, it all looks very high-end at first glance.

Anyway, for someone like Zhang Fan, who stays at home in the mountains all year round, he has no idea what these strange things are.

Just as the two were still surprised by the layout of the room, the sound of a door opening was heard from behind.

Looking back, isn't that Ningguang? She came in with a secretary.

"It turns out that the saying is true. The eyes are bright and charming, and peaches shy away from apricots." Zhang Fan couldn't help but praise, attracting the attention of Shen He on the side.

"You're too polite, little brother Zhang Fan." Ningguang chuckled.

"Little brother?" Zhang Fan was a little confused for a moment.

"Ganyu and I have known each other for many years and have a very good relationship. I asked her about you and heard that your relationship with her is like that of siblings, so I boldly call you my little brother. I hope you don't mind." Ningguang invited them to sit down, and the two secretaries on the side tactfully withdrew.

"It's okay. I'm quite happy to hear you say that. Hahaha. Being appreciated by Lord Tianquan Star of Liyue Port is a blessing that many people cannot get." Zhang Fan didn't know much about the etiquette of meeting important people, so he could only speak based on his feeling.

"Huh? You're still so distant, and you still call me Lord Tianquanxing?" Ningguang looked at Zhang Fan with a smile.

"Well, since you and Senior Sister Ganyu are very close, then I would dare to call you Sister Ningguang?" Zhang Fan said with a strange smile.

"Yes, I like this name very much." Ningguang nodded as if satisfied, and then poured them a cup of tea.

Zhang Fan took the tea, held it in his hand without drinking it, and asked: "I wonder why Sister Ningguang called me here?"

He didn't like beating around the bush, especially with a big businessman like Ningguang. It was better to be direct than to talk to him all day without getting to the point. Anyway, Ganyu was there, so she couldn't cheat him.

"Look at how impatient you are. The main reason I invited you here this time is that I wanted to get to know you. Alas, I have not met my partners in person after so many years of cooperation. Besides, it has been a long time since we last met Miss Shen He." Ningguang saw that he was so direct and no longer wanted to joke.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since we last met." Shen He responded and then fell silent.

Zhang Fan didn't believe her nonsense. "Sister Ningguang, just tell me what you want to say. I don't mind. In fact, I'm afraid of wasting your time. I heard that you can even sell a meal for a sky-high price."

Ningguang seemed to stop pretending when she saw this, and returned to her true form, with the momentum of dominating the world surging towards her.

"My little brother is really unlovable. Okay, okay, I invited you here this time because I want to discuss investment with you." Ningguang chuckled and scolded.

"Investment? Rice cooker? Didn't I let Senior Sister Ganyu take full charge of it?"

"Yes and no. By the way, speaking of your magical cooking machine, you, the senior sister who is in charge of it, have left everything to me over the years, even the management of Mora to me, and asked me to manage it."

"Isn't that great? Sister Ningguang is one of the richest people in the entire continent. I feel at ease leaving her to you." Zhang Fan didn't think much of Mora, because he had mostly lived near mountains and rivers for the past decade or so, and there were not many places where he would need Mora. Besides, if he just picked some old herbs and sold them, it would be enough for him to eat and drink for several years in the mountains.

"Do you know how much Mora you have stored with me over the years? It's an astronomical number. Even if I saw it, I would be very excited and want to take it for myself."

"Hahaha, Sister Ningguang, stop joking. I believe in you. If you break your promise, you probably won't be able to stay on Tianquan Star for as long as you do now." Zhang Fan laughed.

Ningguang looked at him with resentment: "I don't trust myself. Every time I see your Mora, it's like a hungry wolf seeing meat but can't eat it. I feel uneasy to keep it for you."

"Okay, okay, Sister Ningguang, tell me if there's anything I can help you with. I'll definitely help you if I can." Zhang Fan was really helpless. He couldn't beat even ten of these old foxes in the business world. He was indeed...

After receiving this promise, Ningguang smiled with a satisfied look on her face and stated her purpose. "Two days ago, I received intelligence from Ye Lan that you and the Traveler were riding a strange machine outside of Liyue Harbor?"

Zhang Fan understood immediately, it turned out that this was what he was going for: "Yeah, that's right"

Ningguang's glasses sparkled: "I heard that we can walk without a horse?"

"Ok!"

Ningguang's glasses lit up even brighter. "I heard that you can travel a thousand miles a day without rest?"

"Ok!"

Anyone could sense that Ningguang was very excited at the moment: "I heard..."

"Um"

"Huh? Little brother, I haven't finished yet." Ningguang was embarrassed.

"I know what you want, but this thing has already been sold to Ying." Zhang Fan spread his hands.

“Hmm? Is there any other way? Can I only borrow it from the traveler?” Ningguang said as she thought.

To be honest, she was actually quite envious of this kind of thing. From her perspective as a businessman with many years of experience, she thought it was a good thing.

It would be fine if she was just an ordinary businessman, but as the Heavenly Authority of Liyue, she had to pay attention to things that would greatly benefit the development of Liyue.

Although there are many immortal mechanisms that can achieve similar effects, they are too delicate and difficult to copy, and the materials are too scarce, so they cannot be popularized.

Ningguang thought about how the last time she modified the End of Life Machine had emptied a large amount of materials from Liyue’s inventory. She felt sad when she thought about it now, but at that time, the demon god was about to attack, so she had to make the End of Life Machine to resist.

Building the final machine is a last resort, but if you want to transport the machinery, you can take your time and not rush.

Before, Ningguang still believed that if she had it, it would be the best, but if she didn't, it didn't matter, she could slowly look for it later. Didn't you see that most of the transportation now still relies on pack animals?

Until I saw Zhang Fan had this thing, although it is possible that he got it from the immortals.

But not all of the immortals' mechanisms are as difficult to make as the Guizhong Machine. There are also simple ones, such as the cooking machine.

Although Zhang Fan called it the beggar version, it still has the advantages of being light, convenient, low-cost, and widely available.

So this time she also wanted to test Zhang Fan's attitude and see if Liyue could be popularized like rice cookers. Even if it is not popularized, it would be good if it can be used in military applications.

"Yes, I can produce the blueprints, but technology is only one aspect. We also need various supporting measures, such as roads, assembly line production accessories, rare minerals, factories, etc..." Zhang Fan said.

"It's fine if there is one. I believe in the skilled craftsmen in Liyue..."

"Don't underestimate the craftsmanship of a car. Just talking about the blueprint, it's very complicated. It takes a long time for you skilled craftsmen to learn it. For some parts, the error required is so small that it can't be seen. If you rely solely on manual labor, there are no complete supporting measures... Well, unless you let Zhongli make the parts..." Zhang Fan's meaning is very clear

Although he could replace one on the spot and even get the blueprint, he doesn't know how to do it and can't be taught.

He didn't believe that Ningguang only needed one car. It was impossible for him to replace ten, a hundred or a thousand cars.

"Is there nothing we can do?" Ningguang was a little disappointed.

"Not really." Zhang Fan said as he thought of something.
