You're Morax-How Could You Not Have Mora?

"... It's not something worth hiding. I'm a Traveler, and also a puppeteer who's traveling around studying and trying to improve my Puppetry Arts. Of course, I'm also a bar owner, and that's how I met Shenhe at the bar," said Teacher Chen Luo.

"A bar?" Ganyu looked at Chen Luo and Shenhe with some suspicion.

Ganyu really didn't think Shenhe was the kind of person who would go to a bar. Besides, this was his first time coming down the mountain, so how could he have gone to a bar before?

"My bar is similar to Serenitea Pot, something portable. So you could potentially see my bar from anywhere," Chen Luo explained.

"A portable travel device similar to the Serenitea Pot? I see." Ganyu nodded thoughtfully.

Ganyu also knew about the Serenitea Pot.

Some immortals use this kind of thing when they travel.

The main body looks like a kettle-sized object, but inside it is a whole different world, which can be regarded as a portable large villa.

However, despite its appealing appearance, this product is not widely used. This is partly because some of the materials are almost extinct and the production process is very expensive, and partly because it is not as convenient as one might imagine.

After all, if you want to build furniture or houses in your own Serenitea Pot, it's a troublesome thing to think about.

"I also visited Mondstadt City a while ago, but there was a storm raging there at the time. I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, but I met a pretty good bard and ended up joining the team that was peacefully dealing with the Stormterror, and I even got the title of Honorary Knight." Chen Luo continued, as if he were recounting his entire journey in this world.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"The storm in Mondstadt City? It is indeed a crisis that should not be underestimated."

"Speaking of which Chen Luo, your talent for mechanical arts is indeed very good. You just said that you learned all the mechanical arts written in the book by Cloud Retainer in just three days? Are mechanical arts a kind of Puppetry Arts?"

Now that we've come this far, Ganyu looked at the doll she had chosen in her hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"That depends on how you define Puppetry Arts. Puppetry Arts can actually incorporate many things. And many puppets also require mechanisms to activate. Furthermore, the inscriptions that can be applied to mechanical arts can also be used on puppets," Chen Luo said, picking up a Rex Lapis Puppet from the stall.

"But that's precisely why the puppet with the Adeptus Inscriptions is only selling for 5,000 Mora, which is indeed a bit cheap. Besides, I can't even tell what the effects of some of the inscriptions are," Ganyu said, looking at the inscriptions on the Rex Lapis Puppet.

"Of course, after all, an excellent puppeteer needs to be open to all kinds of knowledge and then make improvements and modifications. Some of the inscriptions are the product of combining Adeptus Formations with knowledge from Different World," Chen Luo said.

"Different World? Could it be that your knowledge of puppetry actually came from Different World? No wonder I couldn't tell which country's technology it was from no matter how I looked at it."

"No, no, no, things... aren't that simple." Chen Luo gave Ganyu's question with a rather mysterious smile.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Different World? What Different World?]: It's clear that the other party is interested in your Different World stories again and is very wary.

Reward: 100 Primogem

Difficulty: Two stars

"... Actually, I am a Traveler from Different World." Chen Luo paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"So it's normal that some of my knowledge is too unfamiliar to you."

"What? You're from Different World? Is it really okay to say this out loud?" After regaining her senses, Ganyu glanced at her secretary with some concern.

"I don't care, it's not like it's anything to keep secret. Oh, by the way, this is for you. If you ever need any help, Ganyu, just tear this up and I'll appear and grant your wish. And don't expect anything in return. The other one is for getting into the bar; you need to tear that up too, and then you can see the bar. You can use it anywhere."

"A bar that connects to this Different World, I think you might be interested."

As Chen Luo spoke, he handed Ganyu a Commission Cards and a Bar Invitation Card.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Ganyu must be a high-quality customer, right?

Perhaps...

Chen Luo remembered that the bar had special dishes that wouldn't make him gain weight.

"Connecting to Different World? Thank you." Although she didn't quite understand, Ganyu still accepted the two cards.

Is the help free?

And what does "a bar that connects to Different World" mean?

The secretary, who was examining a Rex Lapis Puppet, had a slight tremor in her pupils upon hearing this.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Wanted Cards]: Hmm, I'd like a Commission Cards and a Bar Invitation Card.

Reward: 110 Primogem

Difficulty: Two stars

"Do you want these two cards too?" Chen Luo suddenly turned to look at his secretary, then flipped his hand, and two cards appeared in his hand, which he then handed to his secretary.

"Huh?" The secretary stared blankly at the two cards Chen Luo handed over.

"What? Don't you want it?" Chen Luo asked back.

"... Well, this one will do. I don't need the cards or anything. I have to go back and report. Goodbye." The secretary looked at the two cards that were right in front of her, shook her head, picked up the Rex Lapis Puppet she had just chosen, and then got up and turned to leave.

"Don't want it? Heh, this isn't something you can just get rid of if you want." Chen Luo chuckled as he watched his secretary's retreating figure.

You've already sent the commission, do you still want to take it back?

After laughing, Chen Luo glanced at the five requests he had received in the past three minutes.

"Tsk tsk, she gave me 300 Primogem and 120 Crystals in three minutes. Tsk tsk, that's much more generous than Ningguang."

"Hmm, why did Lan Ye leave in such a hurry?" Ganyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, who knows?" Chen Luo shrugged, his expression unchanged.

However, the two cards that Chen Luo had just handed to his secretary mysteriously disappeared from his hand.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Task issuer - Yelan

"Call..."

Arriving at a teahouse, Yelan hurriedly went up to the second floor. After calming down, she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one was following her.

Chapter 321 You are Morax, how can you live without Mora?

"This Chen Luo is no simple character..."

The slight naivety on the secretary's face vanished instantly, and she gently pinched a crease on her neck with her fingers before tearing off a human skin mask and then removing the wig from her hair.

Yelan, the new owner of the Rock Tea House, Ningguang's partner, and a... well, an agent?

"And I didn't even notice it just now, but now that I think about it, it's as if the other person would give me the answer as soon as I had a question, it was so smooth it was almost abnormal," Yelan said, stroking her chin.

But Ye Lan suddenly felt something strange in his hand. He looked down and his body stiffened.

She found two cards in her hand, two cards exactly the same as the ones Chen Luo had tried to hand her earlier.

"How... is this possible?!"

"Well, from a general rational point of view, these Geo Archon statues, carved with special techniques and inscribed with Adeptus Inscriptions, are indeed worth the price if they are only sold for 5,000 Mora. However, the wood looks like it was just cut down and still has some moisture left, so it is not the best material to make into an ornament. But the materials used are still of good quality, so it can be said that the flaws do not detract from the overall beauty."

"Mr. Zhongli, you're right." Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

"Oh? You know me?" Zhongli put down the statue of the Geo Archon in his hand and looked at Chen Luo.

"Ah, I heard Master Hu Tao mention this morning that the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has a Guest Official named Zhongli who is exceptionally knowledgeable but somewhat rigid in temperament. And you were wearing the uniform of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and spoke with extraordinary manners, so I guessed from that. Also, to be honest, these Adeptus Inscriptions are really not something that ordinary people can decipher," Chen Luo explained.

"Oh, you're Mr. Mr. Chen Luo, the one who ordered 25 coffins at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor this morning, right?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Zhongli remembered something like this.

This morning, after the head of the hall Hu Tao, returned to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in high spirits, he immediately had 25 identical coffins made.

If it weren't for the fact that Hu Tao had presented the Mora in full, everyone else would have thought she had been scammed.

However, there aren't many people in Liyue who can fool Hu Tao...

"No, I bought 10, but the remaining 15 were a gift from Master Hu Tao." Chen Luo shook his head.

"So why order 25 coffins for the same person?" Zhongli asked, somewhat curious.

"Because he had a lot of lives and offended a lot of people, he may have died quite a few times."

To be honest, Chen Luo wouldn't even respect Otto if he didn't die three, ten, or twenty times over.

"Hmm, some kind of substitution method? That's strange..."

"It can't be called a substitute for death, Mr. Zhongli. You can think of it as a special kind of Puppet Technique, and then transfer your consciousness into that puppet, using this special feature to achieve an alternative kind of immortality."

"But in that case, wouldn't the soul be the first to be unable to withstand it?" Zhongli raised another question.

"There's no need to worry about that. The other party is very clear-headed, or rather, the other party has a goal that they will never give up, so their soul won't be severely Erosion," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

In fact, immortal beings are not uncommon in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, but they are also quite rare.

Immortality is not an easy achievement to attain, but it just so happens that most of the people Chen Luo knows can meet this condition.

The 13 Flame-Chaser need no further explanation, and Grey Serpent can also be considered an alternative form of cheating immortality.

Furthermore, Chen Luo was also pondering a question: if Honkai Beasts can live for thousands of years, can Herrscher do the same?

This is something that Chen Luo needs to verify.

Although Chen Luo is a Herrscher, Chen Luo situation is far too complicated.

Immortality is achievable, since with the blessing of becoming younger with each death, Chen Luo could remain 17 years old forever even without the Herrscher's Body.

At worst, I'll commit suicide once a year.

The situation of those Herrscher of Knowledge is also somewhat special. After all, in this world, we have only heard of inner demons being killed, not inner demons dying of old age.

However, Chen Luo felt that since Honkai Beasts could not die, there was no reason for Herrscher to be weaker than Honkai Beasts.

Of course, if he's really that bad, then pretend Chen Luo didn't say anything.

However, Chen Luo knew one thing: the Armed Puppet could indeed live forever.

For example, Klein worked for 50,000 years, that's terrible...

"A peculiar obsession?"

"It's fate that we met. Mr. Zhongli, please pick any Emperor statue you like, consider it a gift. After all, Master Hu Tao is quite generous, giving away 15 coffins for every 10 he buys. Of course, Mr. Zhongli, you can also pick another one to help Hu Tao take back," Chen Luo said.

"From a purely rational perspective, one should not receive a reward without merit. The discount offered by the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor does not mean that I will receive a discount," Zhongli shook his head.

"Mr. Zhongli, did you bring any money? Just one Mora will do, consider it making friends," Chen Luo said generously.

"... I was in a bit of a rush today..." Zhongli paused for a moment before saying.

"That's settled then. At worst, you can just owe me a Mora. Meeting is fate, so just take it." Chen Luo said with a wave of his hand.

But I have to say, as expected of you? You didn't even have a single Mora.

Or do you mean you're not bringing any money, not even a single Mora?

Chen Luo didn't care about Mora, but the other party was really going too far.

Zhongli is the form in which the Geo Archon Morax walks among humans.

In other words, the person before us is the true form of the Geo Archon.

Morax is a being who can generate Mora with divine power, making him the embodiment of wealth.

However, even though the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony is about to begin, this true form still has the mind to wander around here.

And not even a single Mora could be extracted.

It's true that even the three gods couldn't form a Mora.

Geo Archon Morax, who can produce Mora, never carries any money.

Electro Archon, that village girl who doesn't even have a physical body and whose consciousness resides in a doll, naturally doesn't have any money either.

Barbatos? Ever since the bar became a place where he could get free food and drinks, Barbatos now donates all the money he earns from busking to charity. He's incredibly generous.

To be honest, there was no original relationship between Chen Luo and Zhongli.

Because Zhongli didn't issue any commission at all.

It makes sense. When someone is carving their own statue, they probably don't have much genuine emotion to express.

But if it were some rare and precious antique, then Mr. Zhongli's destiny would arrive.

Zhongli was truly generous with his money when it came to rare and precious treasures. And perhaps because he had lived for thousands of years, he had a great interest in antiques and the like.
