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

"Master Wan, we are back, but the Wansheng is probably going to be scrapped..."

Beidou lowered her head when she said this. Master Wan had high hopes for her and even gave her the boat, but she failed to live up to Master Wan's expectations.

"What happened to you?"

Mr. Wan did not blame Beidou, but asked his old friend the first mate.

"Old Wantou, it's like this..."

After a while, the first mate explained to Mr. Wan what happened during this voyage.

The more Wan Ye listened, the more surprised he became. At the end, he looked at Beidou with eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction: "Not bad, you are very much like me back then."

"Beidou, don't worry about the ship. The Wansheng has been with me for decades, and it's time for it to rest."

"That ship..." Beidou was a little worried. Once the Wansheng retired, she would have no ship.

Master Wan saw through Beidou's thoughts at a glance, and said as he had expected: "In fact, even if we don't encounter Haishan, I plan to retire the Wansheng."

Beidou looked up at Master Wan and heard him continue, "I built a brand new large ship specifically for you. With your skills and talents, you shouldn't be confined to a fishing boat."

"But……"

Beidou was interrupted before he could finish his words, and Ningguang walked in from outside.

"Don't worry, I've got you all the necessary documents. We are partners, aren't we?"

Beidou had never expected that so many things would happen just from his trip out to sea. Building a large ship is not something that can be done overnight.

The same would be true even if Mr. Wan’s son opened a shipyard in Liyue Harbor.

The fifteen-year-old Ningguang is about the same height as Beidou, and her pretty face and slim figure fully demonstrate the beauty of a young girl.

However, compared to her outstanding appearance, her talent in business is even more dazzling, and she is secretly called the "Rising Sun" by the merchants in Liyue.

However, this is not a compliment, but the merchants in Liyue Harbor regard her as a serious threat.

Because once the sun rises, all the stars will become dim, and the hidden darkness will become exposed.

"How long has this been planned? At least half a year, right?"

Beidou knew that Master Wan valued him, but building a new ship specifically for him could not be explained simply by his appreciation. Ningguang was definitely involved.

"Well, actually it took two years. This ship cannot be built in half a year."

"And I also contributed a lot to it."

Ningguang swung the folding fan in her hand, smiled sweetly, and spoke in a very relaxed manner.

There is no free lunch in the world. The more you get, the more you need to pay. Beidou knows this very well.

"So what do I have to give?"

Ningguang walked behind Beidou, stared at her with a smile in her eyes, and slowly said in her ear: "You don't have to pay anything. We have been partners for many years."

"Don't play tricks on me like you businessmen. I dare not accept such a big gift casually." Beidou was not affected by Ningguang at all, and looked as if he would quit the job if he didn't explain clearly.

Ningguang gently patted Beidou's shoulder. She had expected this. "This ship is completely yours. It's just that the subsequent maintenance and the recruitment of crew members are entirely up to you. We won't interfere."

"In return, you have to do something for me, but please rest assured that everything is in accordance with Liyue's laws."

"You don't have to rush to agree. It's not too late to consider it after seeing my sincerity."

Beidou nodded, wanting to see what surprise Ningguang could bring her.

So Ningguang took the initiative to walk towards the warehouse door and nodded to Wan Ye when passing by him. Wan Ye glanced at Beidou and then followed Ningguang.

Beidou's eyes narrowed, and Ningguang was even more powerful than she had imagined. He clearly acted like a leader in front of Master Wan.

You should know that Mr. Wan’s shipyard is one of the largest in Liyue Harbor.

Soon, Beidou saw the [surprise] Ningguang prepared for her.

Beidou admitted that her heart skipped a beat at that moment.

Then he smiled with relief: "You win..."

In the warehouse, there was a huge ship that was at least a hundred meters long.

It can be seen that there are vacant spaces everywhere on the giant ship, where various weapons can be installed later.

"As long as it doesn't involve selling my body, I'm willing to pay any price."

Beidou's voice trembled with excitement. Such a huge ship would be hard to resist for anyone who yearned for the sea.

"Haha, what are you talking about? Why would I let you sell yourself? We have been partners for many years. Don't you still trust me?"

It is precisely because Beidou believes in Ningguang that he knows that she is the type of person who can always make it back somewhere else no matter how much profit she gives up.

However, this time, Beidou faced a temptation that was hard to refuse.

Seeing Beidou nod firmly, Ningguang showed an expression that she had expected, and then stretched out her fist to Beidou: "Happy cooperation~"

"Oh!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Ningguang's fist hit Beidou's palm, and they were both stunned for a moment. This familiar scene made them laugh.

"From today on, this ship belongs to you. Give it a name."

Beidou looked at the big ship, and thought of every little thing that happened to him since he was a child:

The happy but short infancy, the years of wandering around, the years of living with Nandou and the village chief in Xiachuan Village, and the years of leaving Xiachuan Village and venturing alone in Liyue...

Looking at the big ship, Beidou's eyes reflected the figure of Haishan, and his expression gradually became firm: "Death Star... Let's call it the Death Star!"

Ningguang's eyes widened slightly, and then she chuckled, "Great! Beidou, Death Star, it really suits you."

"I believe that in the future, all the wanted pirates near Liyue Harbor will tremble when they hear the name of the Death Star!"

Beidou could tell that Ningguang had no intention of despising her at all. This feeling of being respected by such an outstanding person made her feel very satisfied.

"I need a fleet. I want to hunt sea mountains!"

Generally speaking, people will feel unhappy if you make unreasonable demands after just receiving a benefit.

But Ningguang didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, she nodded in agreement: "Okay! Beidou... you're worth it."

After reaching an agreement with Ningguang, Beidou quietly boarded the Death Star, and Ningguang followed quietly behind her.

Beidou looked at various places on the Death Star, and his mind couldn't help but reappear the little things he had experienced with Nandou, as well as his grandfather's words that "his wish was to hunt sea mountains", and tears gradually welled up in his eyes.

He muttered to himself: "Nandou, I am one step closer to hunting Haishan..."

"Who is Nan Dou? Is he your family member?" Ningguang turned her head away from Bei Dou, handed her her handkerchief, and asked curiously.

Knowing that Ningguang was taking care of her stubborn self-esteem, Beidou did not reject her kindness. He took the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

At the same time, he answered: "I wandered around for a while when I was a child, and later I was adopted by the village chief in Xiachuan Village, and Nandou was also a child adopted by the village chief."

"He taught me a lot of knowledge. If it weren't for him, I would probably still be an apprentice on a ship."

Ningguang recalled Beidou's stubborn look when she first met her, and she knew that she had something in her heart that forced her to move forward all the time.

I was also attracted by her proficiency in navigation knowledge and excellent physical fitness at a young age. Nandou was the one who taught Beidou, so she must be even better.

"Where is Nan Dou now?"

Ningguang couldn't help but feel a love for talent, so she asked Beidou.

Speaking of Nandou, Beidou paused while wiping his tears, and slowly replied: "When I was a child, he was swept to the bottom of the sea by the sea mountain in order to save me, and I still haven't found him until now."

Ningguang was stunned for a moment, and realized that she had said the wrong thing: "Don't worry, Nandou was able to teach you so well, he will definitely be able to turn the danger into safety."

Beidou knew that Ningguang was comforting her and did not refute her. The two of them stood quietly on the Death Star for the entire afternoon.

……

A month later, the fully loaded Death Star was officially launched, causing a huge sensation in Liyue Harbor.

After all, this is the first time that such a large ship has appeared in Liyue Harbor, especially since this ship is an officially modified armed merchant ship.

All of a sudden, all the major chambers of commerce were inquiring about the name of the Death Star.

Ningguang stood at the harbor, watching the Death Star sail towards the sea facing the rising sun, her heart filled with pride.

This was her masterpiece and the final piece of the puzzle she had planned.

Watching the Death Star go away, Ningguang withdrew her gaze, turned around, and the expression on her face instantly turned cold.

"Next, let me see what surprises you, the last clown, can bring me..."

"Seven Stars, I'm determined to get them!"
