Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"Well, one million each, and a total of three million for the three of you." The staff's smile was still so perfect.

Paimon was shocked by the exaggerated offer and the man's shamelessness.

Are you kidding me? That's not how you spend money!

Paimon bargained hard, but not a single mora was cut off.

No matter what she said, the Inazuma man remained unmoved and just kept repeating "That's the rule."

The group of travelers had only been in Inazuma for half an hour when they realized that foreigners were not welcome here.

Su looked at Thomas with an unhappy expression, and Sora and Paimon also reacted.

Isn't this the local tyrant that the Big Sister Beidou has chosen to trouble them? It's time to contribute, local tyrant!

Thomas, urged by the three men's eyes, stepped forward and said to the staff with a smile: "These guys are all my friends. Can you give me a discount for my sake?"

This time, the business smile on the other party's face immediately became much more sincere, "Then for your sake, 600,000 Mora will be fine."

It’s still expensive! But they do have a discount, and it’s quite a big discount.

Just as Kong was about to pay, Thomas held his hand, continued to smile at the staff handling the formalities, and made a huge offer, "In my opinion, 600 Mora is enough for the handling fee. I'll pay for them and treat you to a meal. How about that?"

The clerk laughed so hard that his body shook with laughter. "Okay, okay, then I'll rely on Mr. Ma. I'll register it."

Seeing this situation, all members of the Traveler Team were filled with question marks.

Is there still bargaining like this? Selling beauty? No matter how you look at it, this is too...

The team of travelers held their freshly issued free certificates and looked at the handsome young man who had just successfully sold his beauty with indescribable expressions.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?" Thomas felt that the look in the girl's eyes, who was carried on Sora's back, was too hot.

Sue: "Is this the beauty worth three million Mora?"

Although he is indeed a handsome guy, she still thinks Sora is better looking! Is Sora's looks not worth 300 million Mora?

Why did that person remain unmoved when looking at the sky? ! He has no vision!

Thomas couldn't help laughing. "The handling fee itself is just a private item. She didn't give me face because of my face."

The other party knew that he was a retainer of the shrine's magistrate, and he gave in so easily because he didn't want to offend the shrine's magistrate.

Thomas told them that the procedure itself was free, and no matter how much the foreigners who entered Inazuma paid as handling fees, it would go directly into the pockets of the Kanjo Bugyo officials. Whether they charged 300 million or 600 moras, it was just a matter of how much the people below earned.

Paimon was furious: "Isn't this just bullying foreigners? The lion can easily extort a large sum of Mora by just asking for a big mouth. Is there no one to resist?!"

This is so disgusting! It looks rotten from top to bottom!

"Because there is no way to resist." Thomas has seen more injustices and reacted calmly. "Being strangers in a foreign land, foreign merchants can only stick together for warmth. This is also the origin of the International Chamber of Commerce on the outlying island."

As Inazuma was closing the country, foreign businessmen could not leave Inazuma, and their lives and property depended on the conscience of others. Under such circumstances, they certainly did not dare to offend Inazuma's officials, and could only swallow their anger and be cut by a blunt knife.

Foreign merchants in Inazuma gathered together to form the International Chamber of Commerce to organize and assist foreigners in Inazuma to survive and overcome difficulties together.

When faced with a choice between money and life, businessmen can only choose life.

Paimon became more and more sympathetic to the foreign merchants in Inazuma, but the purpose of their traveler team coming to Inazuma was not to overthrow Inazuma, but to meet General Raiden.

After you meet General Lei Dian, you can report the situation of these foreign merchants to her and ask her to help them.

Now the question becomes -

"How can we meet General Raiden?" Paimon looked at Kong and Su.

Thomas didn't look surprised at all. "Is this the purpose of your trip? I see. Considering your status, it is indeed a grand goal. But, I have a way to introduce you to General Raiden."

"The local tyrants on the outlying islands actually have such resources!" Paimeng was overjoyed and urged Thomas to quickly tell him a way to meet General Lei Dian.

Thomas smiled and said, "If we mobilize all resources, there will always be a way. But before that, I need your help to solve some of the problems of others."

I understand. The mission time is up, and the final mission reward is to take them to see General Lei Dian.

Thomas said that the president of the International Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Kulixu, is his good friend and is currently in some trouble, so he asked the Traveler Team to help him solve his troubles.

The Traveler Team didn't waste time talking to him and went directly to the Universal Chamber of Commerce to complete the mission.

When the anxious Kurisu heard that the traveler team was the reinforcements invited by Thomas, he immediately told them the plight of the merchants.

"We foreign merchants have been facing obstacles everywhere in Inazuma recently. The worst thing is that the Kanjo Bugyo has issued a new tax law, requiring merchants to pay taxes instead of Mora, which is something called crystallized bone marrow."

Crystallized bone marrow? Su felt as if he had heard the name of this thing somewhere before, but when he looked through his backpack, he found that it was completely out of stock.

It's very strange. If these were resources she had seen, it would be impossible for her not to stockpile some in her backpack.

Paimon asked, "Crystallized bone marrow? What is that?"

Jiulixu shook his head and sighed, "Before the decree was issued, most merchants in the Chamber of Commerce had never heard of this kind of goods! It was an old merchant from Liyue who recognized that this was the material he had transported to the Kingdom of Winter when he was young. He said it was a strange ore that could be used to forge weapons."

After knowing what it was, the merchants went around collecting some crystallized bone marrow and paid it as tax. But just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they found that this was just a temporary solution.

The demand for crystallized bone marrow required by the samurai in charge of collecting taxes in the Kanjo Bugyo was increasing, and gradually merchants were unable to purchase this ore that was almost not circulated in the market.

In the end, only one merchant had stock left, so he kept raising the price, and now the price of crystallized bone marrow has risen to a terrifying figure. But under the pressure of the decree, the merchants had no choice but to buy it.

"Isn't this just monopoly through futures speculation?" Su felt that this was not something that could be achieved by the power of a businessman alone.

Kurisu also said that he suspected that the only merchant who had goods was in collusion with the Kanjo Bugyo, but he had no evidence.

The merchants also gathered together to discuss with the Kanjo Bugyo about amending the tax law, but it was obviously useless.

At the end of his speech, the businessman from Fontaine burst into tears, "Fontaine, Fontaine, my hometown... I miss you so much..."
