Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Well... next time I meet them, I'll find a chance to talk to them. Maybe I can dig out more interesting things from them and earn more Mora!" Dolly's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.

"But now, I have to go back first. I have to send this month's dividends to Ms. Alice." Dolly muttered to herself and began to pack up the stall, preparing to end today's business.

That’s right, Dolly knew the mother of Mondspark Knight Klee - Ms. Alice.

No one knows the exact details of how Dolly and Alice met, but they are an enviable pair of partners.

Alice travels around the world and does not always stay in Xumi, but every once in a while, she will ask someone to send her new inventions to Dolly.

And after the sale, Dolly will find a way to send Mora to Alice.

Sometimes Alice would attach a letter to tell Dolly that she was in danger recently and that Mora could be kept with Dolly first.

However, Dolly insisted on sending someone to take Mora to the safe area closest to Alice to ensure that Alice could get Mora as soon as possible.

Labor costs, transportation costs, insurance fees... all the costs added up are not a small amount of money, but Dolly is not stingy and takes the initiative to pay in advance.

"Dolly, the good man, never defaults on payments."

"Besides, Ms. Alice's expenses are not small, so we must ensure that she has money available at all times."

Dolly kept repeating these words, never getting tired of confirming whether Mora had been delivered.

Even though Alice is no longer Dolly's only supplier, she still regards this as the most important thing.

The reason why Dolly treats Alice so specially is probably that in her heart, she always remembers the promise they made on the day they met.

-

"You want countless Moras? Sure. I can provide you with all kinds of magical props. How many you can sell depends on your ability."

The woman with a pair of elf ears, a red witch hat, a beautiful face and a pleasant voice said with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

At that moment, looking at Alice's confident and charming smile in the sunlight, Dolly felt that her dark world seemed to be lit up.

-

Dolly once had an older sister who depended on her for everything, but her sister suffered from an incurable disease. In order to buy the almost extinct medicinal herbs needed to treat her sister's disease, the young Dolly had to work hard to make money, but in the end she still failed to save her sister's life.

The appearance of Alice was like a ray of light shining into Dolly's dark world.

That was Dolly's lowest point. After countless setbacks, she almost lost hope.

With those magical props and her trust in Dolly, Alice rekindled Dolly's desire for wealth.

To Dolly, Alice is not just a partner, but more like a noble person in her life.

She tried her best to protect this cooperation, just like protecting the good memories she had with her sister.

Every time I give money to Alice, every time I receive a new invention from Alice, it feels like a special emotional bond is being strengthened.

……

At the same time, Ying and Paimon came to a relatively quiet port after walking out of the bustling streets of Port Omos.

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it a slightly salty and humid scent.

Paimon put his hands on his hips, still furious, "That Dolly is really too much. She wants so much money for a piece of broken stone!"

Ying looked at the sparkling sea and smiled, "Forget it, Paimon, we have seen many strange merchants. But that stone is indeed special. I hope I will encounter similar things in the future."

"Hmph, I hope it won't be so expensive next time." Paimon muttered, and suddenly his eyes rolled, "By the way, Ying, where are we going next? Should we continue exploring Xumi, or go back to Liyue?"

Ying tilted her head and thought for a while, "Let's go to Xumi City again. Although those sages control everything in Xumi City, the atmosphere is a bit depressing, which always makes me feel uncomfortable. But Nashida said before that she wanted to investigate the bad things done by the great sages, and I am a little worried about her."

"But I really don't like the serious atmosphere in Xumi City." Paimon frowned and shook his body in the air. "Those scholars always have stern faces and speak in a literary way. It seems difficult to get along with them."

"I know, but in order to help Nashida, we still need to go again." Ying was also a little helpless, "Besides, this is not the first time we have faced this situation, right?"

"Well, since you said so, let's go back to Xumi City." Paimon sighed, "I hope we won't encounter too much trouble this time."

Just as the two were preparing to set off for Xumi City, Ying felt something in her heart and took out a small white jade pendant.

This is a communication device that Su Xun made for his wife. Every woman he has has one.

Looking at the information displayed in the jade pendant, Ying smiled.

The content was very brief, just expressing Su Xun's longing for her, and hoping that she could come back to Liyue tonight so that the family could have a meal together.

"Is this news from Su Xun?" Paimeng came over and looked at the information on the jade pendant. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Wow, Su Xun is going to cook a big meal tonight and ask us to go back and eat?!"

Paimon spun around in the air excitedly. "Great! We have to go back quickly! I haven't tasted Su Xun's cooking for a month."

During this month, she and Ying traveled all over Xumi. Although they had tasted many local specialties, how could they compare to the food cooked by Su Xun?

Although there are teleportation anchors that allow them to return to Liyue at any time and have big meals every day, they don't want to rely too much on this convenient method.

After all, every step of the adventure in the continent of Teyvat is full of unknowns and surprises. If you just use anchor points to teleport, you will miss many unique scenery and interesting experiences.

But since it’s Su Xun’s request this time, we can change the taste today and have a good meal!

Seeing Paimon's excitement, Ying couldn't help but smile. She nodded and said, "Well, let's go back first and then go to Xumi City to find Nashida tomorrow."

There just happened to be a teleportation anchor right next to them, so there was no need to take out the pocket anchor. With a flash of light, the two of them disappeared in the port of Xumi Omos.
