Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Under Xiaonan's leadership, Ying and Guiyan were simply checked by the soldiers guarding the gate. No problems were found, and they quickly entered the city.

It must be said that the city wall here left a deep impression on Ying, because it was so thick that it took them a good one or two minutes to walk through the city gate. It was three or four times thicker than the city wall Ying knew.

It can be said that it is read as "city gate" and written as "tunnel".

After passing through the city gate, Ying realized that he didn’t know the name of this city. Looking back, he saw three powerful characters written on it - Linyuan City.

"Wow, is this what the city looks like?" Guiyan looked as surprised as Ying, but she was surprised about the interior of the city.

There are bustling crowds of people, vendors selling drinks and food, and occasionally you can see a few people performing talents on the street. The air is mixed with the smell of sweat, the aroma of delicious food, and some strange, indescribable smells.

Ying thought of the desolate scene she had just seen outside the city, and compared it with the lively scene in front of her. Who could have thought that a distance of only a few dozen meters would cause such a huge difference.

While his thoughts were flying, Guiyan was attracted by a sweet scent and came to a shop.

There is a glass counter in the store, with various kinds of pastries on display. A white-haired old man sits behind the counter, and behind him there are many delicious foods filled with sweet smells.

Those foods smelled very sweet, even so sweet that Ying felt a little greasy.

"This, and this, are these edible?" Gui Yan kept pointing at two cakes through the glass. One of them was like cotton, fluffy on the outside, and sprinkled with sugar. The other was reddish-brown, with some golden syrup flowing out of the cut surface, and dotted with a few candied dates.

Either one looks very tempting.

"Haha." The old man looked at the lively Guiyan with a smile on his face, "Little girl, this piece costs sixty cents, and that piece costs eighty cents."

The old man pointed to the cotton-like pastry, and then pointed to the pastry with candied dates.

"Sixty cents, eighty cents." Gui Yan repeated the price of the pastries in a low voice several times, and finally returned to Ying's side somewhat frustrated.

"What's wrong?" Ying asked with concern.

"I don't have any money..." Guiyan shook her head, "I'm going to die without candy."

Ying was also stunned for a moment, and then thought of a very realistic but unavoidable problem, which was money.

"I only have Mora with me, I don't know if it can be used here."

"No! My backpack is empty. I can't even take out a piece of Mora." Ying's face became more and more ugly. She didn't expect that she would fall to this day.

Not only does food cost money, but if they want to rest tonight, they have to find a place to stay, which will definitely cost a lot of money. Although they have experienced adventures together and can ask Sangge and Xiaonan for help in the short term, in the long run, they still need to make money on their own.

"Xiao Nan," Ying turned his gaze to Xiao Nan, "Is there an Adventurer's Association here?"

"Huh?" Xiao Nan thought Ying was going to borrow money from her. Although she herself was not well off, she could still afford to buy a few cakes. But she didn't expect Ying to mention the name of a strange association as soon as she opened her mouth.

"What is that? Is the sect she belongs to the Adventurer's Guild? What a... unique name." Xiao Nan thought to himself.

However, seeing that Ying seemed to be short of money, Xiao Nan thought for a moment and then said:

"If you want to make money, I know some places. Although the money is not much, it is paid on a daily basis. Would you like to consider it?"

"What does it do?"

Ying felt like she had returned to her first trip to Teyvat.

Before arriving in Mondstadt, she and Paimon had been living outdoors. Fortunately, she helped Mondstadt quell the dragon disaster caused by Tevarin and got to know the members of the Knights. After that, it was natural for her to accept commissions from the Adventurer's Guild, complete the tasks, get paid, and then spend the Mora she had earned with great difficulty to buy Paimon a bunch of delicious food...

Huh? Why do I feel like if Paimon wasn't around, my expenses would be cut by half, and I could live a little easier.

After all, buying food for Paimon alone accounted for almost 80% of her expenses.

"fluorescent!"

Just as Ying was recalling the past, Gui Yan's voice sounded in her ears again.

"Take me with you, too. I want to make money, too. I want to buy those cakes!"

Every time when her emotions were high, there seemed to be little stars in Guiyan's eyes. This time was no exception. Looking at Guiyan's bright eyes, which gradually overlapped with Paimeng's eyes, Ying was also infected and a smile crept up her cheeks.

"Alas, it seems that no matter where I am or what happens, I can't refuse such a look." Ying sighed in her heart.

"understood."

"Then tell me what you are doing first." Ying asked Xiaonan again.

"They are all manual labor, such as moving bricks, unloading goods at the docks, and so on. There is always a shortage of manpower for this kind of work. I know some places are recruiting workers, and I can take you there directly. The wages are not much, but only a hundred coins a day, and the more you can get, the more you can get, and there is no rest. The working hours are also quite long, and you have to work until the sun sets."

"Physical work?" Ying thought for a while. She had done a lot of physical work and was quite confident about it. For example, when she was in Xumi, two scholars were experimenting with shipbuilding and asked her to move some heavy objects onto the ship to conduct a load test.

But if the pay is low and the hours are long, Ying doesn't really want to do it.

"Is there anything else?"

"That will take some time, but I don't think you need to rush. Just stay at my house for a few days and we'll talk about it when you find a job."

Xiao Nan smiled, took out two strings of copper coins and handed them to the old man. After a while, she brought back one portion each of the two kinds of cakes that Gui Yan had just taken a fancy to.

"Consider these as a treat for you." Xiao Nan handed the cakes to Gui Yan and Ying. They took them without hesitation after saying thank you. Ying chose the cotton-like cake, while Gui Yan ate the candied date cake.

"Come on, I'll take you to my house first."

Xiaonan's home was far from the city gate, so they walked through the market near the city gate, crossed a bridge, and came to a more lively place. Then they walked towards the east side of the city, passed through two tall arch-shaped buildings in a row, and finally came to a slightly deserted place.

On the way, Ying also saw what seemed to be a high mountain in the south of the city, but that was not their destination so she didn't ask any more questions.

"This is Dongcheng District. Everyone goes out to work during the day and doesn't come back until late at night. It's usually busiest in the early morning, but the bustle I'm talking about isn't a good thing. When that happens, you'll find that you can't even sleep in."

As Xiao Nan spoke, she brought Ying and Guiyan to a cleaner room. She took out the key and gently opened the door.
