Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

One year later, Liyue Harbor.

"Hahaha, I finally have my first ship!"

Beidou stood with his hands on his hips next to a simple and extremely dilapidated fishing boat, shouting loudly with great excitement.

Although the fishing boat was covered with traces of repairs, Beidou did not show any disgust in his eyes, but rather joy.

During this year, she worked hard from dawn to dusk looking for work and finally earned some money. She then bought an old fishing boat that was about to be scrapped and spent a long time repairing it.

In fact, given her work efficiency, this shouldn't be the case.

Just because she needed to grow, she kept Nan Dou's reminder in mind and basically worked one day and rested one day.

Then, I don’t know if it’s because Nan Dou used the Flame of Rebirth, but Bei Dou’s appetite has increased several times, more than that of an average adult.

In order to ensure nutritional value, she couldn't just eat fish, so her expenses increased.

All these factors combined resulted in it taking her a year to save enough money.

"From today on, I won't have to work at the docks anymore. With my skills, I will definitely come back with a full load every time. I have to thank Nan Dou..."

Thinking of this, Beidou suddenly fell silent. In the past few years, he had been looking forward to Nandou's return, but every time he secretly returned to the village, he did not find any trace of Nandou.

Moreover, because the village chief, who had extensive knowledge of fishing, passed away, it became increasingly difficult for the villagers to catch fish, and their lives began to become difficult.

For this reason, she once tried to help the people in the village, but all she got were looks of disgust and words of expulsion.

For this reason, she no longer took the initiative to appear in front of the villagers, but only returned to the village chief's house to take a look when it was late at night.

"The South Dipper is for life, the Beidou is for death..."

"Just because my name is Beidou, you think I'm a disaster star. I..."

"Beidou's eyes suddenly flashed back to the scene a few years ago when Nandou threw her out with all his strength and told her to run."

"I really seem to be a disaster star..."

Beidou lowered his head slightly and clenched his hands unconsciously.

She didn't believe in the superstition that a name would bring bad luck. She was just wondering if Nan Dou could have escaped Haishan's attack if it weren't for her.

"Haishan, I swear, I will hunt you for the rest of my life!"

Beidou recalled Haishan's silver tail and couldn't help but grit his teeth and talk to himself.

"Hunting the giant beast of the Underworld, Haishan? That is truly a great wish."

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Beidou, and Beidou turned his head in surprise.

I discovered that the person who just spoke was a young girl who was dressed elegantly and behaved in a manner that was not mature enough for her age.

The girl's white hair was very conspicuous and her age was not much different from her.

Beidou guessed that this must be a young lady from a wealthy family.

Then Beidou saw the white-haired girl walking up to her with graceful steps.

"Hello, my name is Ningguang, I have a business I want to discuss with you."

"..."

Beidou was silent for a moment, blinked, and asked, "Whose family are you from? Do you want to play house with me?"

Beidou had no interest in wasting time with Ningguang and only treated her as a young lady who was having fun.

Ningguang didn't get angry when Beidou said this. It seemed that she had known that she would be defeated. She continued calmly, "You can go fishing today. Even if you can return with a full load, do you know how to price the fish? Do you know where the fish sells the fastest? Do you know what kind of certificate you need to apply for from the General Affairs Department to sell fish in Liyue Harbor?"

"I..." Beidou was speechless after hearing what Ningguang said, because after thinking about it for a while, she found that she had never thought about these things.

After all, she was either working, exercising, or practicing martial arts every day, so she had no time to think about it. If she wanted to eat fish, she would jump into the sea to catch it and had never bought it.

To be honest, if there were no big fish near Liyue Harbor, she would have achieved financial freedom by fishing long ago.

Ningguang saw that Beidou was speechless, but still did not stop attacking: "You may know which fish can be eaten, but different fish have different storage methods, and even their value is different."

"Are you trying to say that I can stop worrying about this if I just sell it to the fish collector?"

Beidou nodded, but Ningguang laughed: "You are young and have no foundation in Liyue Port. Do you think those bosses will cheat you and shortchange you? Those businessmen are very good at it. At least it won't be difficult to fool you."

Hearing this, Beidou finally couldn't help but asked, "What do you mean by telling me so much?"

Ningguang narrowed her eyes slightly, and a folding fan appeared in her hand. She covered her mouth with it and said, "I told you, I want to discuss a business deal with you."

"From now on, all the fish you catch will be sold to me. I'll split the profits 80% for you and 20% for me. How do you think?"

Beidou knew at a glance that this was definitely a good deal, but she still had doubts in her heart: "Why did you choose me?"

"No matter how you look at it, I'm not a very good partner, am I?"

Ningguang shook her head mysteriously: "This is an investment, and my vision is rarely wrong."

"Forget it, as long as you can pay me on time." Beidou didn't ask any more questions. Nandou said that sometimes, as long as you can achieve your own goals, there is no need to ask about other people's secrets.

"Very good, I like straightforward people." Ningguang extended her hand to Beidou.

Beidou understood and stretched out his fist to touch the back of Ningguang's hand.

"..."

Ningguang, who wanted to shake hands, never expected that Beidou would give her a fist bump, and then she laughed from the bottom of her heart.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Next, Ningguang and Beidou seriously discussed how to cooperate.

Beidou also obtained from Ningguang key navigation information such as the distribution of fish in the various sea areas outside Liyue Harbor, the size of wind and waves, etc.

Listening to the detailed and professional words from Ningguang's mouth, Beidou, who had originally planned to just give it a try, became serious.

Ningguang was surprised to find that Beidou could completely understand the knowledge about sea navigation without any explanation from her, and at the same time she secretly admired her own vision.

According to their original fate, they would not have met each other so early, but because of the appearance of Nan Dou, the two people who were connected in some way met each other in advance.

After communicating with each other, Ningguang and Beidou both had a good impression of each other.

Ningguang has not yet reached the position of one of the Seven Stars, and Beidou has just acquired a small broken boat.

Beidou, who is frank and straightforward, meets Ningguang, who is good at calculating and well versed in human nature and rules, and they unexpectedly get along well.

Many times, as long as you meet the right person at the right time, there will be no conflicts due to positions and identities.

After Ningguang left, Beidou looked at his small broken boat and seemed to see himself in the future commanding a giant ship to sail across the ocean and challenge the mountains and seas.

What she didn't know was that today's meeting was not accidental, but the result of Ningguang's secret observation for a year.

For a partner like her, she is just one of Ningguang's countless networks of relationships.

Of course, Beidou wouldn't care even if he knew.

As long as Ningguang can give her what she wants, nothing else matters.
