Genshin Impact: Wherever you go, all wear and tear will be eliminated
Chapter 189 Bandit Stone
The moon sets and the sun rises, time passes, and about a month has passed since the Moon Festival.
During this period, Liyue Harbor was peaceful. The blond boy made salt with the relics of the Salt Demon God and reached a long-term cooperation with Ningguang of Tianquan Star.
The daily income is almost 100,000 Mora, which is much more than the usual profit from commissions from the Adventurer's Association.
His current life is no different from that of Zhongli, who was called a social loser by Paimeng. As a result, he has become a frequent customer of teahouses and taverns.
Three bowls are enough. Gangli, Zhongli, Mo Ran, Kong and Paimeng sat at the same table, but although there were four people, there were only two wine bowls.
Paimon was not depressed, because she was not very curious about the taste of wine. She grabbed a handful of fried peanuts dipped in salt, threw them into her mouth, took a bite, and heard a crisp sound.
The storyteller Tian Tiezui stood on the stage, opened his folding fan with a snap, and uttered words that were as bright and dazzling as the stars in the sky.
"In the last chapter of our book, we said that when Liyue Harbor was first built, Prince Yan was walking alone in the mountains and came across a crack in the ground. He heard an unheard-of distant sound in it."
"The many ancient rock elemental creatures that live under the land of Liyue and have never seen the sun for a long time are mostly blind and can only survive by relying on their hearing and touch."
"The sound coming from underground was sometimes sad like a song, and sometimes terrifying like thunder. After many twists and turns, the Rock Prince finally found a strange stone in the rock layer."
"This strange stone is spiritual. It is the king of the underground dragon lizards, named Ruotu Dragon King. The Emperor signed a contract with him, granting the Dragon King the ability to see the mountains and rivers of the world. The Dragon King needs to fulfill the agreement and protect Liyue Harbor together."
"Lord Yan felt pity for the spirit of the stone, so he personally carved it into a lifelike giant dragon with exquisite craftsmanship."
"Use your finger as a pen and point at the old man's eyes. In a flash, thunder roars in the sky, mountains and rivers shake, and a real dragon appears out of nowhere!"
"After that, the dragon always accompanied the Yan prince and accompanied him in his campaigns in the north and south. There was a poem praising this event, which was:"
"Gold and stone burst into pieces and the dust is swept away; the winding waters of the rocky mountains are all opened."
"Creating the dragon's eye is helped by the help, and the wandering brings the rain and dew."
"It is also said that Lord Yan once spread a message at that time, saying: I will bring him to the ground in response to his wish, and give him eyes to see things clearly. I promise him to coexist with the people on the ground, but if he disrupts order one day, he will be sealed into endless darkness again."
Sora reached out and touched his chin, muttering to himself, "It's this story again."
"Yeah, I feel like I've almost memorized it." Paimon took a piece of cake from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, spreading his hands.
Mo Ran, dressed in black, drank the mellow sauce wine in the bowl and said with a smile: "I am tired of hearing stories. How about listening to Mr. Zhongli tell us some historical facts?"
Paimon said thoughtfully: "Hmm, this is a good suggestion. I have heard about this Ruotu Dragon King a long time ago. I also want to know the real story. What is it like!"
Zhongli swung the wine bowl in his hand slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's fine. Remember..."
"Hey, we found them. They are here as expected!" Zhongli's words were interrupted by a rough voice.
Everyone looked up and saw a sturdy man with strong muscles in his arms and a full spirit. Judging from his attire, he should be a member of the Liyue Mining Team.
This man was accompanied by a man of medium build, whose appearance was not outstanding either, but he had a discerning temperament that made him quite eye-catching.
The sturdy man smiled naively, apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. My last name is Dai, and I'm the foreman of the miners' team. You can call me Lao Dai."
"This is my friend, Kunjun, who is familiar with most minerals. If we only talk about this ability, I think no one in Liyue Harbor can compare to him!"
"That may not be true. There are always people better than you. If we talk about who knows the most about minerals in Teyvat, it should be Mr. Zhongli next to me!" Paimon put his hands on his hips, looking very proud, not knowing what he was proud of.
Kunjun glanced at Zhongli, who looked calm, and remained silent.
Mo Ran glanced at the idle people beside him, pondered for a moment, and said, "You two didn't come here to say these words, did you?"
Old Dai laughed and said, "Haha, of course not. Our mining team has a commission with the Adventurer's Association. This morning, Catherine told us that we can come here to find an adventurer with rich adventure experience."
"However, judging by your attire and your blond hair, you should be the traveler who has recently become famous in Liyue Harbor. Could it be that the adventurer is you?"
After being silent for a long time, Kong nodded and said, "It's me, but I haven't received any commissions this month. Could I have made a mistake?"
"It's impossible to make a mistake. Catherine told me clearly that no one had taken up the commission for too long, so she directly sent it to a capable adventurer and asked me to come here to find you. It can't be wrong!"
"This, the Adventurer's Association is actually using this kind of forced buying and selling?" Paimon scratched his head and continued, "But we are not prepared to accept the commission, why don't you find someone else."
Kong refused outright. Now that he had no shortage of Mora sources, he naturally needed to have a good rest and recover from the fatigue brought by the journey.
Old Dai looked embarrassed. Although that matter did not really require an adventurer, having an adventurer around would always provide an extra layer of security. Now, he was a little embarrassed.
Kunjun retracted his gaze that had been lingering on Zhongli, and slowly said, "This... Mr. Zhongli, have we met before? Why do I always feel a sense of familiarity when I see you?"
"And this gentleman too, I don't know why, but when I see you, I always feel a little guilty and apologetic. Could it be that I knew you two before I lost my memory?"
"We have never met!" Zhongli said in a calm tone, his expression remained unchanged, but a barely perceptible ripple flashed across his calm eyes.
Mo Ran, dressed in black, glanced at the idler calmly and said calmly, "I think I have never seen him."
“Really…” Kunjun smiled awkwardly, “Sorry, I was abrupt. Because of my memory loss, I got a little excited when I saw some familiar things and people!”
"It's okay." Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "It's human nature. If you want to know your origins, you can understand why you are eager to ask people around you who seem familiar with you."
When Paimon heard that it was a person with amnesia, his attitude improved a little and he said, "Well, it's not impossible for us to accept the commission, but what about the reward..."
Paimeng didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear. He wanted us to help him? Sure, we have to pay them, and we need more money, until they are satisfied.
Old Dai patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry about the reward. You will be satisfied!"
Immediately, Paimon looked at the blond boy, his eyes slightly closed and a smile spread across his face. Kong held his forehead with his hand, helpless, but he could only agree.
Paimon folded his hands, nodded proudly, looked at the burly man, and said, "Well, let's continue the previous topic. I think Zhongli is the person who knows the most about ores in Teyvat!"
The corner of Old Dai's eye twitched. He thought that this little guy was going to ask for a huge amount of money, but he was mentally prepared. After all, the funds he could mobilize were not much, and he might even lose money.
Who would have thought that he would argue about this? Old Dai exhaled lightly, and suddenly noticed the name of Mr. Zhongli. He laughed at himself and said, "Oh, look at my ears. It turns out to be Mr. Zhongli. I didn't notice him just now. I heard that he is very talented, well-read, and knowledgeable. Today I finally meet him in person."
Paimon asked, "Do you admit that Zhongli is stronger?"
"No, no, when it comes to the ability to identify ores, I think Xiao Kun is better. When I first saw him, I didn't expect that this guy squatting on the side of the road, staring blankly at the ore, actually knew more than me, the head miner!"
Paimeng was still arguing, and the scene was polarized. On one side, Paimeng and Lao Dai were talking incessantly, while on the other side, Mo Ran, Zhongli, Kunjun, and Kong were watching quietly.
After a while, Zhongli sighed and said, "Where does this unreasonable desire to compare come from..."
