Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 167: Darkness is gone, bright lights are lit
Before his arm recovered, Su Ping had no choice but to stay in the grocery store and look after the store every day. Of course, he was the main person in charge because the boss would not allow him to do so.
Every time the young man stood up to help, the white-haired woman would tell him to sit down and drink tea, or go back to the house to write a book, or do any heavy work that required hands.
Su Ping, who was ordered like this but had no way to refute, had to sit in the teahouse and watch the customers coming and going in the shop. As for Ningguang, who gave the order, she also sat in the teahouse when there were not many people around.
The young couple sat in the store, drinking tea and chatting, and they seemed to have the aura of being powerful and influential in the future, with a smile that could move thousands of people.
However, the two of them are still young. One is still the owner of a small shop, helping people introduce sources of goods and soliciting business favors, while the other is a disciple of the immortal family who has just made some progress in martial arts and has not yet learned any immortal arts.
They still have a long way to go.
In a corner of the grocery store, there was a tall young man with a dignified appearance. His phoenix eyes were like amber, and he was firm and resolute, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.
This young man, who exuded an otherworldly aura in his every move and seemed out of place in his surroundings, was now staring in a daze at an ordinary white porcelain water bottle at an affordable price.
The texture, workmanship and style of the water bottle looked very ordinary. The young man looked at it for a long time but was still undecided. However, the clerks in the grocery store were all simple and honest, and no one chased away the young man with strange behavior.
The young man stood from the afternoon until the sun was about to set, all the while just looking at the water bottle, without saying a word and not picking it up to pay. His eyes revealed a thoughtful look that no one noticed, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Finally, after the store had changed batch after batch of customers and he was the only one left, the handsome young man spoke slowly.
"Excuse me, Miss Shopkeeper, how much does this item cost?"
The one who received him was Bai Xiao, who was very good at judging people. She smiled and said, "Sincere price, only 6,000 Mora!"
The young man fell silent again, as if the light words "six thousand Moras" had pierced his heart. His face was conflicted and hesitant.
After a moment, the young man said, "I'm in a hurry to go out, and I don't have Mora in my bag. I wonder if I can..."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the clerk and the boss, but even the few remaining customers nearby all turned their heads and looked at the young man with puzzled glances.
Could it be that after standing there for a long time, he finally mustered up the money to ask the price, but it turned out that he couldn't even afford the six thousand Mora and couldn't buy an ordinary water bottle. But for a young man with such a handsome appearance, his words were so bookish, which was not right?
When everyone thought he was going to say the word "on credit" or "send the bill to such and such a place", the young man said something that was a common business term in ancient Liyue.
"Barter for barter!"
"Ah?" Bai Xiao was stunned, and almost didn't react to what this person meant. Then he said calmly: "But this water bottle is only worth 6,000 Mora. It may be difficult to find a new item of the same price. If the price is higher than this, our shop is doing conscientious business and will not accept it!"
The young man took out a finely crafted grey glass ball from his sleeve and asked, "Is this enough?"
"This, this is..." Bai Xiao opened her mouth slightly, her pupils trembling, and looked at the glass ball in the young man's hand in disbelief.
"Eye of God?!" The customers nearby were also alarmed. Although they did not have the Eye of God, they had seen the existence of divine power.
"This person actually has the Eye of God..."
"And it's off-white, which means... it can be sold and make a lot of money!"
Just when the customers were lamenting that the boss was going to make a fortune, Ningguang stepped forward. She did not take the Eye of God, but refused with a heartbroken look on her face.
"This item is too valuable. We are ashamed to accept it. It is better for you to keep it away. Don't let others miss it, or it may cause trouble."
The young man smiled, gentle and elegant, and said calmly: "But this is the only thing I have left to trade, and I really need to take this bottle home, not to mention...
Bartering is a trading method that has existed since ancient times of Liyue, before Mora was born. The items used by both parties in the transaction are not determined by their own needs, but by the needs of the other party.
This blank Eye of God is of no use to me, and I have no way to sell it in large quantities, but it is different for the boss."
Ningguang also understood what the young man meant. "In other words, the value of my water bottle is equivalent to a blank God's Eye in the eyes of the customers?"
"That's understandable." The young man nodded slightly, "But the opposite is also true."
Everyone was shocked. What kind of background did this person have to be able to talk about a blank God's Eye? To him, it was just an ordinary Aquarius.
You know, people in the world who possess the Eye of God are outstanding talents, and the blank Eye of God is the Eye of God that has not been reactivated after the death of such people.
This blank gray Eye of God would bring a huge fortune whether you try to activate it or sell it. After all, no one doesn't like the Eye of God and Mora.
"But this is really not a custom." Although he is a businessman and has engraved the love of Mora into his bones, Ningguang is a principled businessman and will never make money in this way.
Businessmen who don't make money by cheating others, don't make money out of guilt, and don't make money by harming others are stupid and naive, but it is precisely because of the existence of such businessmen that there is a pure land in the business world.
This is the case with Ningguang, Su Ping, Lin Tianyuan, the main person in charge of the Middle Stream Chamber of Commerce, and the conscientious vendors in the snack street.
"No problem. In business, we must be honest in the contract and both parties must be willing. I was in a hurry to go out today, so I forgot to bring Mora with me. It's okay to use this item as an exchange."
The young man's words were very confident and seemed to make sense, but upon closer inspection, something was clearly wrong. He was still talking about exchanging the Blank Eye of God for the water bottle.
Ningguang frowned slightly. Although she felt sorry for Mora who was at the mercy of her, she couldn't earn that kind of money, so she had to turn around and signal a young man to help.
Su Ping, who was sitting at the tea table and had intended to leave, smiled knowingly when he received the order. He stood up and bowed, first performing a salute, then praising and asking questions.
"I see that you have an extraordinary way of speaking, and possess an indescribable scholarly air. You also understand historical events that ordinary people have never heard of. I believe you must have heard of Liyue for a long time. I hope you won't blame me for not asking about the name school!"
"I am a completely unknown person in Liyue. Even if I were to tell you, no one would know me. As for my school of thought, it is only mentioned by my ancestors. I have never been to a private school, nor have I ever hired a teacher to teach me."
The young man paused, as if he was determined to exchange the Eye of God for the water bottle, and then continued: "This seems to have nothing to do with this transaction?"
"Since you really need this water bottle, why not leave it as a permanent residence? As for the Eye of the God of Blankness, I will keep it on the counter as a pledge. When you have enough, you can come and take it away. How about that?" Su Ping thought of a compromise.
The young man looked at the boy, was silent for a while, nodded and said: "The appropriate method is as you say."
Su Ping smiled faintly. It was really interesting to see Mora arguing over and over again for this little bit of information, and even nitpicking on the words.
Ningguang gestured for invitation, "Please come this way to pay."
The young man nodded slightly, picked up the bottle of water and went to the counter, put down the Eye of God and a handkerchief with words on it, then walked out the door.
Ningguang was teasing Su Ping about a rich young man from an unknown family who actually used the Eye of the Blank God to pay off his debts. He was really a spendthrift.
As he was speaking, Bai Shi, who was checking the address left at the counter, screamed, "The address he left is in Liyue, but he didn't say where!"
As soon as the words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The remaining old customers said that they might have been cheated. They had wasted so much time and energy and lost six thousand Mora.
Ningguang was skeptical, "We'll know if it's true or not once we try it."
The Eye of God is hard in texture and is not afraid of swords and weapons, water or fire. Even if a thousand-pound rock presses down on it, it can remain safe and sound. Otherwise, it is not the real Eye of God.
"Bai Wen, take it upstairs and try it."
Bai Wen, the oldest, took the things and went upstairs, soaked them in water, roasted them over fire, and chopped them with a kitchen knife. Then he opened the window and smashed the Eye of God heavily into the yard, but it was of no use.
The Eye of God glowed with light in the afterglow of the setting sun, still as new, flawless and perfect.
"It seems to be true." Bai Xiao crossed his arms and said calmly, "A person like that shouldn't do such petty thefts."
Su Ping went to the yard, picked up the Eye of God, and gently stroked it with his fingers. Although it had just been tossed around, there was no scratch at all. There were only two possibilities.
Either this is the real Eye of God, or it could be some kind of mineral that has never appeared in the world and was used by the young man to make the Eye of God.
"How strange." Su Ping carefully examined the Eye of God, his thoughts drifting far away. It seemed that in his distant memory, there was indeed a figure who behaved in this way, but he was not sure yet.
Ningguang walked to the door and said, "I've tried it, so let's just leave it as it is. I told you to put it on the counter as collateral, so I'll leave it there."
Su Ping gave her the Eye of God. She took it and sighed slightly as she looked at this treasure that seemed to have fallen from the sky.
If this is not the person's collateral, it can be auctioned off, and a minimum of tens of millions of Mora can be earned. But after all, this is someone else's property and cannot be touched.
Just as this thought flashed through Ningguang's mind, the Eye of God glowed, and the faint golden light enveloped the woman's mature body, and then flowed into the Eye of God.
This scene is like a bright lamp lighting up at night, illuminating the dark eyes of God. In that blank space, a rock mark is placed, shining brightly.
"This..." Ningguang was holding the Eye of God, at a loss for what to do. Not only because the tens of millions of Mora were gone, but also because this was that person's collateral. If it was investigated, it would be a big trouble.
Just as the customers were sighing and mourning, Su Ping was thinking about asking his master for help to see if he could find another blank Eye of God. Just as Bai Wen Bai Xiao was shocked, someone came and changed the outcome.
That person was Bai Shi. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand. The moment it approached the Eye of God, the handkerchief suddenly changed and also emitted a golden glow.
"This thing is used as collateral. Anything that happens during this period has nothing to do with me. If the destined person is recognized, I will congratulate him and he will not have to worry about returning it!"
