Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 286: Digging on the Island
The current supreme commander of Haizhi Island is Coral Palace Xinhai, who is a human-god priestess. She is a military strategist on the battlefield and the person who handles many affairs of Haizhi Island. She has outstanding abilities.
Along the way, everyone listened to Goro talk a lot about her deeds, which made Paimon very curious. He thought that the person might be a very old grandmother who could be so comprehensive.
But when they actually saw that person, not only was Paimeng shocked, but even Su Ping sighed a little. There are always people better than you in this world, and there are always things better than you. This truth really cannot be underestimated.
Xinhai of the Coral Palace has pink hair and wears a purple-blue robe dotted with small star-like dots, which looks very beautiful.
She was not an old lady, not even mature. She looked to be just a young girl of marriageable age, but she was well-spoken and had a leadership vibe in her every move, yet was also friendly.
"You all have come from afar, and you should rest as soon as possible. However, Haizhi Island is in an extraordinary period. The matters to be handled here are not as complicated as those in Inazuma, but it still takes some time. Please forgive me."
Xinhai's tone and attitude were very gentle. Perhaps this was how the witch usually treated people, or perhaps this was an exception.
Nan Zhangsheng glanced at the black-haired woman beside him and said first, "As you should. After all, it is better to be cautious. This incident will not affect our subsequent communication."
Xin Hai's eyes flickered, and he smiled faintly, "What's your name, sir?"
"My name is Nan Zhangsheng." Nan Zhangsheng gave his name, and then continued to talk about the following, "Miss Miko, allow me to call you this for the time being. I have some experience about the land and water of your island. I wonder if Miss Miko has any ideas for further discussion?"
When these words were spoken, some people looked strange, while others' eyes sparkled, because the land on Haizhi Island was barren, and food such as rice and wheat crops were in extreme shortage.
Wu Lang couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Nan, I heard that you have studied rice seedlings with skyrocketing yields and have made great achievements in Liyue and other countries. Are there crops that can be grown on the land on Haizhi Island?"
"It's hard to say, because I haven't studied it yet. Truth comes out of practice. I'm sure that Miss Witch won't believe my empty talk." Nan Zhangsheng smiled, looking harmless.
Xin Hai pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Everyone on the Southern Cross Fleet, you are exhausted after being at sea for so many days. Please stay in the prepared guest rooms first. We can discuss the exchange later after you have rested well."
Nan Zhangsheng said calmly: "Thank you, Miss Miko, but I can't sit still. I want to get started right away, so I need to walk around Haizhi Island and dig up soil from various places for research."
"That's fine, but Mr. Nan is unfamiliar with the place, so let Wulang be your guide and protect you at the same time." Xinhai smiled gently, but it felt a little fake.
Nan Zhangsheng nodded, "Okay, thank you for troubling Brother Wulang."
"It's not a bother, Mr. Nan, you must study it carefully. Whether everyone on Haizhi Island can have enough food depends on you!" Wulang's eyes sparkled like two stars.
For a long time, people in Haizhi Island have been eating seafood. It is not easy to have a meal. The lockdown order in recent years has made the situation even worse. Some residents have already fallen into malnutrition.
At this time, someone came like a god, bringing the possibility of growing crops, and he himself had research results. How could Haizhi Island let go of such a person?
Nan Zhangsheng patted General Xiaogou's shoulder and became friends with him. They had just met and they could talk about almost anything. If you didn't know, you would think that these two were brothers.
As for Su Ping, who had remained silent, his identity was sensitive, so it was not appropriate for him to speak in such an occasion. It was best not to speak, and not to speak too much to avoid trouble.
Therefore, Xinhai only stared at him for a while despite his handsome appearance, and then no one else mentioned him, and no one cared about him, so he could live freely.
Everyone followed Wu Lang and left, preparing to go to their residence to stay and rest for a while before making plans.
At the same place, Xinhai watched everyone leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one could see that she was actually not good at communicating with others and could only speak in the airs of a witch.
"Goro, how is the war going lately?"
"This is a military secret. I can't tell you."
"I didn't ask you to say that. I just wanted to know where the shogunate soldiers were fighting. If the war spreads here, we can be prepared."
"The front line is relatively stable now. Our battle with the Shogunate army at the natural barrier in Wuxiang Blade Gorge will not affect the rear base camp for the time being."
"That's great. It seems that even though the shogunate army has more people, they are still a little overwhelmed in fighting against the rebels."
"This is all thanks to Lady Coral Palace. She is so powerful in using strategies, tactics, and military tactics on the battlefield. With Lady Coral Palace here, there is nothing to worry about!"
Not only Goro, but the entire people of Kaiji Island also think so. As long as Lord Coral Palace exists, Kaiji Island will not perish.
"That's true. Actually, you are both indispensable. Having a plan but no one to execute it is just empty talk."
"Thank you, Mr. Nan. I'll remember that."
"Well, Goro, I wonder if the resistance army has any needs in terms of manpower?"
"what?"
"Look, the sailors of our Southern Cross Fleet are all well-known figures who have traveled all over the world. Some of them are retired from the Thousand Rock Army. You must know the Thousand Rock Army, right?"
"We know that it is a very powerful army. No matter how you look at it, it is extremely powerful. But what does this have to do with us?"
"Have you ever heard of the legend of the sea mercenaries?"
"Mr. Nan, do you want us to hire the Southern Cross Fleet?"
"Yes, this way we can legitimately help you resist the attack of the shogunate army, or even successfully counterattack. Who knows, it may determine the success or failure in one fell swoop!"
"This... I can't make the decision. I have to ask the Coral Palace Master for his opinion."
"That's fine. You can say a few nice words to me later, and I will persuade her with emotion and reason. I believe Miss Miko will agree. After all, this is a matter of great benefit and no harm!"
The two talked for a long time, and they got along better and better, feeling that they had met too late. If they hadn't ended up studying soil, they might have become sworn brothers on the spot.
With such emotional intelligence and such a harmonious relationship, Nan Zhangsheng actually has no friends. It seems that it is obviously psychological, at least that's what Su Ping thinks.
"They talked for a long time."
Paimon lay on the table, covered his mouth and yawned, and then said: "I didn't expect that Zhang Sheng would talk so much, and he seemed to be very familiar with Wu Lang. It's really strange."
Ying suddenly smiled and asked, "Manye, you often talk about Wulang with Zhangsheng, right?"
"No, I just mentioned the matter between me and Goro, and only once." Wan Ye slowed down and said, "Maybe it's my nature."
Speaking of this, we need to ask someone who is very familiar with it. Everyone present looked at Beidou, hoping that she could give an answer.
Beidou smiled and said, "Given the character of Zhangsheng, this is not impossible. After all, at the beginning..."
As she spoke, she looked at the young man in yellow and asked, "You can tell me this, right? The one in your family won't convict me for this, right?"
Su Ping smiled and said, "Captain Beidou, you can talk about it."
"That's fine, since Liyue's magic can't control Inazuma anyway." Beidou said with interest, "Back then, when Zhangsheng was only five years old and this guy was only seven, they knew each other.
As soon as they met, Zhang Sheng took him home and introduced his family's business. Then, because the adult at that time had an overly delicate appearance, Zhang Sheng almost mistook him for a young lady dressed as a man! "
These words could be said to have caused a huge uproar. After all, Su Ping is now the highest benchmark for men in Liyue and can be described as a perfect existence.
But such a person was actually recognized as a young lady when she was young, and she was a girl dressed as a boy. It's funny no matter how you think about it, and it makes people laugh.
Paimeng laughed so hard that he couldn't stop slapping the table. His words were slurred, "Su Ping... was mistaken for a young lady, hahahaha..."
Ying buried her head and smiled, not showing any reserve. "I really want to see what Su Ping looked like at that time!"
Wan Ye smiled faintly and said, "Sir, you are as handsome as jade."
Su Ping knew this would happen, but he was not angry. After all, some of the things were made up by Beidou and did not really happen. At most, there was a trend, and he was innocent.
But then again, Su Ping would not let it go after being laughed at for no reason. He also thought about how to fight back.
"Captain Beidou, are these people who are taken home as soon as they meet reliable?"
His words hit the nail on the head. After all, she was a young lady, dressed as a man, and brought home. It did sound quite charming.
Beidou waved his hand, "He was only five years old at that time. How could he understand the true meaning of life? Opposites attract, that's all."
Su Ping spoke again, "There are always people who are precocious."
"Anyway, he's behaving himself now." Beidou refused to be outdone.
A few teasing remarks and ridicule were harmless to them. They were just jokes among acquaintances. They should not be taken seriously and should just go in one ear and out the other.
As night fell, bonfires were lit everywhere on Haizhi Island. After the blood-red setting sun, this was one of the few places covered by light.
Nan Zhangsheng and Wulang came back, each carrying a basket of soil, separated by a wooden board, because they really were collecting soil from everywhere and it was not just talk.
Paimon was very confused. These people could eat delicious seafood every day, so why did they still pursue crops?
Nan Zhangsheng explained: "Nutrition must be balanced. People who only eat vegetables or only eat meat will have health problems sooner or later. Also, if you eat the same thing every day, no matter how delicious it is, you will get tired of it. You also want to change the taste.
Besides, there aren’t many seasonings on Haizhi Island. At most, they are steamed, blanched, sprinkled with salt and grilled. If you keep eating like this, you will get tired of it after a few days.”
