Wang Xiaomei? Who's That?

Although there is a possibility that it will not have any impact, Chen Luo cannot afford the loss of the Primogem.

Chen Luo was extremely stingy when it came to Primogem.

Mora? Chen Luo really doesn't need it normally.

"I see. You're quite a remarkable person. Young man, what's your name?"

"Just call me Chen Luo." Chen Luo lowered his head and finished carving the last Geo Archon statue in his hand, then put away his tools.

Next, Chen Luo needed to prepare for the carving work for the Liyue Millennium.

Are you really sure you only need 10,000 Mora? Or is it that a portion of it requires 10,000 Mora?

"I mean all the items in Liyue Millennium cost a total of 10,000 Mora. I'm not particularly interested in Mora; I earn Mora mainly to pay back my friend's money." Chen Luo pointed to Shenhe next to him.

"I see. Someone will bring the latest version of Liyue Millennium here in a little while. Once it's finished, when and where can we pick it up?" Ningguang asked after a moment of thought.

"Making a chessboard is just a matter of 30 minutes," Chen Luo said confidently.

"30 minutes? The complete chessboard of Liyue Millennium, and it's constructed based on the entire Liyue Harbor. That's such a massive undertaking..."

"What gave you the wrong impression, Miss Ningguang, that I'm slow at creating dolls?" Before Ningguang could finish speaking, Chen Luo picked up a piece of tree trunk about 10 centimeters long that had fallen to the ground beside him.

A faint Wind Element gathered in Chen Luo's hand and flowed slowly, but it dissipated after a short while.

"Consider this a free gift." Chen Luo handed the section of tree trunk to Ningguang.

"Hmm?" Ningguang reached out her hand towards the tree trunk, somewhat puzzled.

"Call..."

A gentle breeze blew by, and the tree trunk suddenly trembled. Then, to Ningguang's astonishment, the bark and wood chips on the trunk fell off, and a chibi-style Ningguang appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

"Okay, the latest version of Liyue Millennium will arrive within 10 minutes, and I will come to pick it up in person in 40 minutes." Ningguang said, looking at Chen Luo's exquisite control over the Wind Element and his amazing skills.

There are still two hours until the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony begins. Ningguang can still move around freely before the auspicious time arrives.

After saying that, Ningguang left with the small wooden carving in her hand.

"Lady Ningguang, should we have someone keep a closer eye on these people?" After walking a short distance, Ningguang's secretary asked in a low voice.

"No need. The other party is indeed using the purest immortal magic, and when they said they weren't interested in Mora, their expression wasn't fake. There's a good chance that such a person is a true immortal descendant."

"Especially the white-haired woman next to him, who is so young yet has a full head of white hair and a cold expression. The red rope on her body is faintly forming a sealing technique. Perhaps she is the purest Immortal Sect Disciple."

"Moreover, the opponent's use of Wind Element Power is so skillful that... they might be able to hear us right now. Let's skip sending someone to monitor them."

"But Yelan seems to have just returned from a foreign country, right? If she's interested, why not let her come and browse around here?" Ningguang said softly, toying with the "Little Ningguang" in her hand, lost in thought.

"By the way, how much money have we made?" Chen Luo turned to ask the Herrscher of Knowledge beside him.

"How would I know if you ask me? I'm in charge of publicity, not sales. You're the one in charge of sales, aren't you?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was keen on being a con artist, sat down in his seat with some excitement.

"Shenhe, how much Mora do I still owe you?" Chen Luo turned to Shenhe and asked.

"I don't know." Shenhe shook his head.

Shenhe is not interested in Mora.

"... If the three of us go into business, we'll lose everything sooner or later," Chen Luo said after a moment of silence.

Chen Luo, Shenhe, and Herrscher of Knowledge are the three people.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge are only interested in how to use the best marketing methods to sell those exquisitely crafted ornaments.

Shenhe, following Chen Luo's advice, observed the expressions and behaviors of the passing merchants, as well as the conversations between the customers and merchants at the surrounding stalls.

Although it's unclear whether Shenhe listened attentively, Shenhe at least very serious.

Chen Luo? Chen Luo is only interested in Primogem.

As for Sirin? Sirin is in charge of being the mascot.

All Sirin needed to do was sit quietly in Chen Luo's lap.

Sirin is a woman of few words and prefers to stay quietly by Chen Luo's side.

Overall, today's earnings should be quite substantial, but I ran into an unlucky guy who lost 50,000 Mora.

After briefly tallying today's earnings, Chen Luo began carving the Liyue Millennium.

Although Chen Luo had never been in contact with Liyue Millennium before, Chen Luo could Mind Reading.

Chen Luo obtained the relevant information while Ningguang was contemplating the Liyue Millennium.

At least Chen Luo can carve out the basic framework first, and then deal with the finer details after the samples arrive.

That's 200 Primogem! That's not a small amount for Ningguang, a merchant.

Chen Luo didn't look down on businessmen; it was just that businessmen's desires were sometimes not entirely pure.

Of course, if the other party genuinely wants a certain item, they are the same as any other person.

As for the +10 favorability bonus, to be honest, it's dispensable for Chen Luo.

Women only distract me from my speed when I'm earning Primogem. But Herrscher of Knowledge don't.

Although Chen Luo did like Ningguang's character in the early stages of the game, after all, she was fair-skinned, beautiful, had long legs, and was rich, who wouldn't like her?

Or rather, Chen Luo has always loved all anime characters, such as Durandal, Kiana, Raiden Mei, Jean, Lisa, Eula, and all other female characters.

Male characters? Does Venti count?

However, Chen Luo understood one thing deeply: women would only affect his speed in earning Primogem.

Therefore, after becoming Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo would frequently adjust his mood index.

If you have no woman in your heart, making money will naturally be a godsend!

So if you feel that Chen Luo might occasionally really like a character, but then suddenly calms down after a dozen seconds, don't be surprised.

It's highly likely that Chen Luo has entered a semi-sage mode. However, this isn't a complete sage state; it simply means he won't let these emotions influence Chen Luo judgment. He still likes what he likes, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged Raven as a bartender. He also doesn't like what he dislikes, so Chen Luo n't take on the "Sparrow Disturbs Sword Intent" quest.

Women will only slow down Chen Luo's speed in earning Primogem.

I'll say it three times because it's important.

But Herrscher of Knowledge wouldn't, because she hadn't commissioned anyone at all.

Well, these cute Armed Puppet won't either.

Since Armed Puppet rarely receive requests that come with a high frequency, it's not a big problem.

However, this behavior of frequently adjusting his mood index has also put Chen Luo in a dilemma: what will he do if he finds a girlfriend in the future?

"Um, boss, are all these Geo Archon puppets 5000 Mora?" A voice with a hint of joy rang out.

"For those with [original] items, it's 5000 Mora, and we can even offer a 90% discount. For those without [original] items, the price depends on my mood," Chen Luo said without looking up.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Reward: 80 Primogem

Holy crap, so many.

Hmm, wait a minute, why does that voice sound so familiar?

Chen Luo's hand, which was carving the Liyue Millennium Go stones, suddenly paused.

Chen Luo slowly looked up and saw a beautiful woman with ice-blue hair.

Chapter 319 Wang Xiaomei? Who is that?

"Huh? So mood has a price?" The woman, who looked like a young girl, was surprised.

"Ah, yes, I set the price according to my mood. Some people come to me to buy the Rex Lapis doll because they genuinely like it, while others are just curious. Those who genuinely like it are destined to meet me, while the others are not." Chen Luo glanced at the other person and nodded.

To put it simply, you're asking for such a great and exquisite Geo Archon doll without even posting a request? And you expect a discount? You're dreaming.

If you don't have Primogem, then use Mora to double your compensation.

"Then, how can I tell if someone truly likes me?" the girl asked.

"Of course... it's about looking into their eyes."

It depends on whether there's a client or not.

You want Geo Archon doll without even requesting one?

"You can tell that from that?"

"Of course you can. I can tell you really want a doll, right, Miss?"

"That's true." The girl nodded.

At the same time, the girl couldn't help but glance at the white-haired girl sitting next to Chen Luo.

The other person exuded an aura of detachment from the world and otherworldly transcendence that was simply too strong.

I think that's roughly how I felt when I first joined Liyue Harbor.

"Alright then, since you're destined to have these dolls and we're destined to have them, you can pick any doll from the stall, whether it's on the left or the right, consider it a gift," Chen Luo said quite generously.

Wow, that's fifty Primogem! You can have ten, not just one.

"Give it away for free? That's not a good idea, is it?" Hearing Chen Luo's reply, the girl felt a little awkward about Chen Luo's generosity.

"Oh, right, let me confirm, you are Miss Ganyu, right?" Chen Luo asked.

"Yes, yes, you know me?" Ganyu was a little surprised that Chen Luo could call her name so readily. After all, Ganyu had a good memory, but she didn't remember ever seeing these people in front of her.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the name Ganyu, Shenhe looked at Ganyu.

You might not believe it, but Shenhe and Ganyu were both raised by Cloud Retainer, making them essentially fellow disciples, yet they have never met.

Shenhe had heard a lot about Ganyu from Cloud Retainer before, but it was just hearsay.

The image of Ganyu in Shenhe's mind is quite different from the reality now.

She has long, blue hair that is tied back into a ponytail and hangs down naturally. She has a single tuft of hair on top of her head, and two small, black and red unicorn horns growing on either side of her head.

She wore a short white cheongsam with gold patterns, over which was a tight-fitting backless bodysuit and black stockings.

This gave Shenhe the impression that she was too quiet and refined.

"W-What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Ganyu asked, sensing Shenhe's gaze.

Ganyu guessed that the child might be Immortal Sect Disciple or a cultivator in the mountains, and might have even heard about her story.

"..." Shenhe shook his head.

Since my master said to go to the other party if anything happens, then I don't need to go to the other party now that nothing has happened to me, right?

"It's Miss Ganyu, that's perfect. Feel free to pick any of these items, or even a few if you like. Consider them a friendly gift. Don't rush to refuse; perhaps you can take a closer look at the patterns on these puppets first." Chen Luo said immediately before Ganyu could even say anything about refusing.

Shenhe has been by Cloud Retainer's side for more than ten years, but Ganyu has known Cloud Retainer for more than three thousand years.

Chen Luo felt that Ganyu was more or less familiar with the things of Cloud Retainer. After all, Chen Luo remembered from the plot analysis that Ganyu's favorite thing when she was a child was to run around in Cloud Retainer's mechanical house.

"But to take something from someone else for free, especially such an exquisite Geo Archon doll..." Ganyu still seemed a little unable to accept it.

"How about this, if you can figure out who these Puppet Technique learned from, these puppets will be yours for free." This was a different way of putting it.

"Ah? Oh. I see. I'll give it a try then." Ganyu nodded.

Riddles and freebies are two different behavioral logics.

Ganyu squatted down and picked up one of the Rex Lapis Puppet to examine it closely.

At first, Ganyu didn't notice anything special. The only thing she could tell was that the Rex Lapis Puppet was really beautiful. But soon, Ganyu noticed something different.

"Hmm? This is... array patterns? And this style... Cloud Retainer?" Wang Xiaomei suddenly looked up at Chen Luo.

Wang Xiaomei... Ganyu was extremely familiar with Cloud Retainer, after all, Ganyu had been playing with Cloud Retainer's mechanisms since childhood.

So here's the question: why does this doll have the array pattern of the Cloud Retainer?

"Did you learn this puppet-making technique from the Cloud Retainer?" Ganyu was genuinely surprised.

Ganyu really didn't expect to encounter something even more familiar in the familiar Liyue Harbor.

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

"Due to some chance events, I read some books on puppetry and mechanical arts compiled by Cloud Retainer, and that's where I learned this skill," Chen Luo said honestly.
