Star Dome Railway: My pioneers were abducted

"Oh~, I understand, are you choosing Yebo stones now?" Ye Xiao glanced at the few stones that Jie Cuixing's boss Shitou took out and said.

"These all look similar!" Although Mengshi was still a little confused, she also followed Ye Xiao's example and "acted".

"Originally, Ying and I wanted Mr. Zhongli to decide to buy those night stones, but Mr. Zhongli said..." Paimeng complained softly, scratching his little face.

"Do I want them all?" Ye Xiao took over Paimon's words with a smirk, and his words were full of ridicule.

"Eh? How did you know!" Paimon said in surprise, his eyes widening.

"Haha, this Mr. Zhongli is also very famous for his habit of never bargaining when buying things, just like his piercing eyes." Ye Xiao found a suitable reason to explain.

"Is that so?" Ying nodded, and then looked at Zhongli curiously. In fact, Ying had somewhat felt this since he hired him to help prepare the items.

Mr. Zhongli obviously knows a lot of knowledge, and he also understands the meaning and function of finance and Mora very well, but when it comes to spending money, he seems a little, um, careless?

"After all, if you have to consider Maura first in everything, it means that everything is tied up by Maura." Zhongli calmly stated his reasons.

"?" Paimon and Dream Sense can be said to be highly unified now, both with question marks on their faces.

"Ahem, in this world of rich people, don't pay too much attention to Paimon." Ye Xiao coughed lightly. Are you saying that Zhongli can't take out a mola from his pocket? Well, that's not important.

"However, even if Maura has her hands and feet tied, I still have a way to solve the problem even though my hands and feet are tied." Zhongli explained some information about Yeboshi to several people at the scene.

"Identifying the quality of Yebo stone is indeed tricky. No matter whether a piece of raw ore is good or bad, its texture, color, and internal rock patterns will not be much different."

"Only when the utensils made by Yebo Stone are formed, you will find that some of the finished products cannot be put on the table." Zhongli made a gesture similar to thinking.

"If you go to those profiteers to argue with you at this time, they will excuse you with excuses such as "your synthesizer is not good" or "the heat is not right"..."

"Wow, this is too much!" Paimon folded his hands in surprise, and his body couldn't help but lean back.

"Yeah, it sounds like you can be easily deceived." Mengshi also nodded.

"However, the real identification method still exists, as the saying goes, "If you look at the moon, you will point at the moon, but you will not look at the moon."" After Zhongli introduced some of the ways in the Yebo stone business, he took the opportunity to introduce the identification method.

"What does that mean?" Pamon put his hands behind his back, looking curious like a good baby.

"You point your finger at the moon. Smart people can understand that you are pointing at the moon, but unsmart people can only see the fingers in front of them and cannot see the moon." Zhongli explained patiently.

"The texture, the shell... these are all fingers. As a strange stone for night lighting, the importance of "brightness" is equivalent to that of the moon in the sky. "

"High-quality Yepo stone will have better affinity to the fire element. That is to say, under high temperature, the brighter and bluer the luster of the ore, the better the quality."

"Wow, it turns out there is such an identification method. Mr. Zhongli is really knowledgeable." Mengshi nodded to show that he understood, "However, we can't let the boss burn the stones for us. They also have to do business. .”

"That's true. Why don't we try to get some samples?" Ying thought for a while, "Leave it to me. Just wait a moment."

Later, Zai Ying got a sample of Yepo Stone. Due to the thinness of the sample, Zhongli proposed a method of heating it with water. At Paimon's reminder, Ying thought of a mouthful of stone he encountered while doing an adventure mission in Mondstadt. The cauldron situated in Dadaupa Valley.

Afterwards, Hou Ying, Ye Xiao and Zhongli explained, and then teleported back to Mondstadt through the earth anchor point with the samples and Paimon.

In the original plot, Zhongli also followed, but now he doesn't seem to have shown any intention of going together. He just said something when Ying mentioned that he wanted to teleport through the anchor point.

"I didn't expect that this strange anchor left from ancient times could still be used by people today."

Seeing that Ying and Paimon had temporarily left the place, Mengshi couldn't help but ask: "Well, Zhongli, why are you..." After saying that, she couldn't help but look around.

"You tell me, I used magic to isolate others from prying eyes." Zhongli knew Meng Shi's concerns, so he gave her a sign to reassure her.

"Why do you have to pretend to have fallen? Or do this during the ceremony to invite the immortal? And why do you have to hide your identity again?"

"The entire Liyue Port is now in a state of tension. Although the people below are still living their normal lives, the Seven Stars and the Immortals are really busy." Mengshi said a little dissatisfied.

"As you know, I have spent more than 6,000 years in the world, and it was 3,700 years ago that I founded Liyue with the immortals." Zhongli explained his reasons slowly. .

"After thousands of years of erosion, even rocks will occasionally feel tired. After all these years, I have just been convincing myself that the "wear and tear" has not yet come. "

Speaking of this, Zhongli's eyes revealed a hint of vicissitudes of life, "Until one drizzly day, I was walking in the port and heard a businessman praising his subordinates: "You have completed your duties. Now, go and rest. "——At that time, I stopped for a long time among the people passing by, and kept asking myself: "Has my responsibility... been completed?"

"...So you are planning to confirm whether Liyue has the ability to move forward alone before retiring, right?" Ye Xiao said.

"Zhongli..." Mengshi didn't know what to say at this moment. The gods in front of him had already devoted most of their time to Liyue, and he was indeed very tired.

"But, Liyue just had a conflict with Zhidong not long ago, you are really going to cause problems for Qixing!" Ye Xiao sighed and said, the situation Qixing is facing now seems to be more troublesome than the original plot.

"This is also part of the test. Besides, the price to pay for Zhi Dong will not be small." Zhong Li glanced at Ye Xiao, "What they want is not as simple as before."

"Uh...what do you mean?" Ye Xiao asked tentatively.

"You should know what I mean, right?" Zhongli still kept it secret, but Ye Xiao had some clues now.

Apparently, Zhongli had re-signed a contract with the Queen of Winter. Originally, as long as "Ms." and "Sir" cooperated with Morax's fake death and caused some chaos in Liyue, they could get the Heart of God.

Now there may be more restrictions added to it, so is this why "Doctor" will also appear in Liyue?

"Okay, old man, you just need to know what's going on." Ye Xiao waved his hand. Since Zhongli was in charge, he wasn't that worried about any major problems. At most, it was just that the difficulty of the Seven Stars game had increased.
