The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"Hey, sir, welcome to Jie Cuixing. Do you want to try your luck at opening two rough stones today? It's cheap and fun. Maybe you can get rich if you don't pay attention?"

"Pure stone? No, no, we are here to pick... what kind of stone?"

"The quality of Yebo stone should be at least Zhuzhao grade."

"Zhuzhao-level Yeposhi...? Well, it turns out you're not a tourist. Sorry, I'll take the goods right now..."

"Wow, you are so blatantly tricking an outsider, will the King of Rock not care about you?"

"..."

Zhongli's eyes twitched, and he ignored the noisy dead snake. While the boss was getting the goods, he introduced Ying, Paimon and Dadalia to what a candle-grade night stone was.

This guy took advantage of the fact that others couldn't see his presence or hear his voice. It wasn't enough to just keep harassing him. He had to think of some way... Zhongli's eyes narrowed slightly.

Not long after, the boss brought three pieces of Yebo stones that looked excellent in appearance. He boasted half out of habit and half sincerely: "What do you think of this? Our Jie Cuixing is a time-honored jade brand. Look at the appearance! Absolutely." Excellent, it’s a rare gift from Prince Yan. Just feel free to choose it.”

"Mr. Zhongli has ever given such a gift?"

"All three look good, which one should we choose?"

"What do you think, Mr. Zhongli?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhongli. The latter thought carefully for a few seconds and looked at the boss of Jie Cuixing with a calm expression: "Boss, I want them all."

Ying and Paimon immediately opened their eyes, as if they heard something incredible.

How can anyone buy something like this? Moreover, the boss of Jie Cuixing almost has the words "Whether the three Yepo stones are real or fake depends on your eyesight" written on his face. How can he just wave his hand and say that he wants them all?

Are you rich? !

Just as the two were about to stop them, Dadalia laughed heartily and her words seemed to shine with golden light: "Mr. Zhongli's decision is indeed perfect! Boss, pack it up, we want it all!"

Ying \u0026 Paimon: "!!!"

What the hell is going on with you guys? !

Their eyes widened again.

"okay!"

The boss was beaming with joy, and he quickly took out the high-quality packaging box. At the same time, he did not forget to say some cheap and kind words: "I have seen that these two gentlemen are extraordinary, and they are really generous!"

Such a deceived person, no, such a kind-hearted gentleman who doesn't stick to trivial details, I haven't encountered one in more than ten years! What does it mean to say nice things?

The little mascot quickly stopped him: "No! Wait! Shouldn't we discuss it again?"

"What are you still discussing? Wouldn't it be more convenient to buy them all?"

Dadalia looked confused.

"Huh? It seems to be convenient... No! Is this a question of convenience?!"

Paimon shook his head vigorously, put his hands on his waist, and said with a hint of resentment in his tone: "If the ritual only requires one kind, wouldn't buying them all be a waste of three times the Mora?!"

"Huh? Shouldn't it be twice as much?"

"This is not important! What is important is waste! Waste is shameful!"

"It doesn't matter, I don't care, Pantalone doesn't care either...well, he probably doesn't care."

"Who is Pantalone?"

"The founder of Beiguo Bank, the ninth executive officer of the Fools, codenamed [Rich Man]. When I was on a business trip to Liyue Port, he reimbursed all the travel expenses, and this time also for the ceremony of sending immortals."

“Is the founder of Northland Bank so generous?”

"perhaps?"

Dadalia thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If he cares, you can take this opportunity to fight with him."

"Are the Fools' executive officers going to fight among themselves now?!"

The little mascot was shocked.

the other side,

Boss Xie Cuixing held three exquisite small boxes containing Yebo stones. He looked slightly hesitant and turned his eyes on Ying and Zhongli. He decisively locked on Zhongli and said, "Sir, look at these Yebo stones... do you want more?" ?”

This blond foreigner looks very smart and virtuous, but this man who says "I want it all" is better to deal with.

"Of course I want it."

Zhongli nodded, glanced at the three small boxes, and said warmly: "Excuse me, boss, please give me one box for each of these three types of night-stopping stones."

"Okay, sir! No problem, sir! Wait a minute, sir, I'll get it right now!"

The boss almost jumped up, twisted his round body and was about to run to the warehouse. Then he thought of something, stopped, coughed lightly, and glared at the "idle" boy beside him: "What are you waiting for! Go and do it quickly." How many gentlemen want to move the Yebo stone? They want the best, but they don’t dare to adulterate it!”

"Yes! Boss!"

"And you guys, hurry up and bring the chairs! Go get my tea leaves and entertain the gentlemen!"

"Yes! Boss!"

The guys at Xie Cuixing got busy. Those who moved chairs moved chairs, those who served tea served tea, and those who rushed to the warehouse did not forget to bring their trolleys.

"Sit down, haha, drink tea and drink tea."

The smile on the boss's face was extremely enthusiastic. After seeing Zhongli and others taking their seats, he happily sat down, occupying only half of the chair: "Haha... Sir, don't blame me for talking too much. It's just out of curiosity. Sirs, what do you think? What’s the use of these top-grade night stones?”

"Hmm... It's okay to say it. It is used to make instruments for the ceremony of sending immortals."

Zhongli had no need to hide anything, and his tone was calm. He just glanced at an empty place before speaking, with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Tianfeng was standing there, mumbling something in his mouth, but it was hard to hear clearly.

"Send, send the immortal ceremony?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, his smile slowly faded, and his brows frowned: "Sir, please don't lie to me."

How could such an important matter as the immortal ceremony be entrusted to these people who seemed to know nothing to organize?

The waiter on the side looked at Zhongli, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly came behind the boss of Jie Cuihang and whispered.

The boss's expression changed several times, and he looked at Zhongli with surprise at first, and then with a bit of respect. He stood up and bowed to Zhongli: "It turns out that the master is Mr. Zhongli, a guest of the Wangsheng Hall! I am so disrespectful!"

"Hehe, boss, you are too polite."

Zhongli also stood up.

"Mr. Zhongli, you just said that this Yebo Stone is used to make instruments for the ceremony of sending immortals. Is that true?"

"Absolutely true."

"So..."

The boss struggled for a few seconds, took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision. He looked up at Zhongli with a sincere smile: "Mr. Zhongli...ah, Mr. Zhongli, please sit down first."

Seeing Zhongli sitting down, the boss continued: "Haha, it's like this. I suddenly remembered that when I was sorting out the warehouse a few days ago, there were some problems with the Yebo Stone's sign. Although it was not a big deal, I was still worried that my subordinates would make a mistake... So, I will go and watch it myself to avoid any mistakes and cause trouble to Mr. Zhongli."

He turned these words over in his mind several times before he finally said them. Then he met Zhongli's deep golden eyes and his breathing immediately stagnated: "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhongli..."

"Hehe, then I'll trouble you, boss."

"Yes, yes, ah no, no trouble, no trouble at all."

The boss hurried out the door, and when the wind blew, he realized that his forehead was covered with sweat. He raised his hand to wipe it, and then slapped himself lightly.

Stone, oh stone, this is the ceremony of sending the immortals to Lord Yan, even if it means losing everything, we can't let inferior products appear in the ceremony!

He muttered in his heart, raised his legs and walked towards the warehouse, and suddenly looked back and laughed at himself.

Yes, how could Mr. Zhongli not guess and see through his little tricks?

He just didn't expose it.
