Oh No! Zhongli's Treating Everyone!

"I just feel that the other party's Vision has a strange feel to it. I wonder if it's because the Dendro Element is special." Chen Luo tilted his Elemental Eye God in his hand, which could accelerate cultivation speed by 10 times.

The Elemental Eye does not necessarily require contact with the Vision to increase the number of elements; contact with any element is sufficient.

In fact, if Chen Luo were lucky enough to encounter a grass Slime in the wild, he wouldn't need to come all the way here specifically to find Baizhu.

Ahem, simple grass won't do; it has to be Dendro Element.

In fact, Chen Luo's Elemental Eye could react even when it touched the glass ball that Venti was hanging, because that glass ball was tainted with the Wind Element.

Chen Luo had only lightly touched Baizhu's Vision, barely enough time to resonate with the elements on the Vision.

"Hmm, I have a feeling this Baizhu... is something special," Chen Luo said in a low voice.

Chapter 341 Oh my god! Zhongli is treating everyone!

"Cough cough cough, Chen Luo, this Everlasting Incense costs 3 million Mora..." Lumine appeared next to Chen Luo at some point and started coughing wildly.

After Chen Luo successfully resonated with the Dendro Element in the Elemental Eye, he has been using the Void Archive to replicate the Elemental Eye.

"Oh." Chen Luo casually responded, playing with the Elemental Eye, which was now able to be used for cultivation at 10 times the speed.

"Cough cough cough, Zhongli and I don't have that much Mora..." Lumine felt that her meaning was already very clear.

"... Then go find the Childe! Why are you looking for me? Isn't the Childe a wallet? My Mora didn't grow on trees!" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Lumine after taking his gaze away from the Elemental Eye.

"Emmm... from a universally rational perspective..."

"Alright, stop being so rational. No matter how you look at it, it should be Childe who pays for this, and Childe doesn't care about the money anyway. Hurry up and run another errand," Chen Luo said, patting Lumine on the shoulder.

"Running errands again? Running errands again?" Lumine said with a look of disgust.

"Three million Mora may not seem like much at first glance, but from a purely rational perspective, it is indeed a bit difficult to manage," Zhongli sighed.

Who would have thought that Morax would be without Mora? If you told the other seven gods this, they wouldn't believe you.

"Alright, alright, I'll take care of the errands..." Lumine looked at Chen Luo and then at Zhong Li, who clearly wasn't suited for Zhongli, before sighing.

Ultimately, this task will fall on my own shoulders.

20 minutes later...

When the Childe arrived, he thoroughly mocked Zhongli and Lumine.

After all, accepting the contract without even fully understanding the other party's request is something Zhongli is unlikely to do.

"Hahahaha... I can't laugh anymore! You guys actually got tricked by something like Coconut Sheep, I'm laughing so hard I'm about to cry. Alright, to thank you for making me so happy, I'll solve all the problems."

The merciless mockery made Lumine's eyes grow increasingly dangerous.

Just as Lumine was considering whether to send Chen Luo a commission to beat up the Childe, the Childe finally got down to business.

"This is Mr. Baizhu, right? I am the Harbinger of the Fatui, [Childe]. If you don't mind, we can cooperate more in the future. Bubu Pharmacy needs anything, the Fatui can help establish a fast supply channel for coconut milk."

"Hmm? I've heard that the Fatui's Clan tries to win over friends in the underworld, but is Bubu Pharmacy someone who can be bought off with just coconuts...? Well, he can be bought off, but you're too late," said the longevity charm hanging around Baizhu's neck.

"Huh? What do you mean?" The Childe was taken aback.

"That Chen Luo has long since bewitched Qiqi with a bottle of coconut milk from who-knows-where..." Chang Sheng's tail pointed in a certain direction. The Childe looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Qi Qi holding Chen Luo's leg with one hand and drinking a bottle of coconut milk with the Qiqi.

"Chen Luo's coconut milk tastes delicious..." After Qiqi finished speaking, she hugged Chen Luo's leg even tighter.

"Although I don't know what Chen Luo's coconut milk is made of, that it can make a zombie taste it, it's obvious that Qiqi can't live without this brand of coconut milk. Sigh... why Chen Luo of all people?" Chang Sheng was quite puzzled.

It wasn't that Changsheng disliked Chen Luo in any way; it was just that Chen Luo's pet didn't seem to be very friendly towards any snakes.

Well, okay, Changsheng, just tell me straight, she's very scared.

Changsheng knew that Qiqi was afraid of Hu Tao before, but he didn't understand why. Now, Changsheng understands, or rather, he can empathize with her.

"Well, alright. Although we may not be able to offer much help with coconut milk, we can still cooperate in other areas," the Childe said with a smile.

Childe certainly couldn't get his hands on coconut milk that could give zombies a sense of taste, but that was just a reason, a reason to cooperate with the other party.

Since we're all friends in the same boat, and this is Liyue, then mutual exploitation and cooperation should become the norm.

The Childe believed that the green-haired shop owner across the street must also understand.

"Hmm, that makes sense. I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future. How about a discount on the Everlasting Incense? Let's call it 2.99 million." Baizhu said, squinting his eyes.

Getting involved with the Fatui doesn't sound like a good thing, but... maybe they have some other uses.

"What's the difference between 3 million and 2.99 million?" Paimon asked, hands on his hips.

Are we the ones who are short of 10,000 Mora? We are short of 2.99 million Mora.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, they're all priced beyond Paimon's reach.

"Well, 2.99 million doesn't sound like much at first glance, but rationally speaking, it is indeed 10,000 less than 3 million," Zhongli said after a moment of contemplation.

"Alright, now that everything is resolved, we should head back to Yujing Terrace. Childe Master, Boss Baizhu, and little Qiqi, until we meet again," Zhongli said.

After saying that, Zhongli walked out of the pharmacy, but Lumine, Paimon, and Chen Luo did not immediately follow him.

The main reason is that Zhongli is busy, but Lumine is no longer busy.

Setting up the venue required Zhongli's personal attention. Where should the newly purchased Everlasting Incense be placed? How should the carved utensils made of Noctilucous Jade be arranged? Ying didn't need to worry about these things, but Zhongli was indispensable because most people simply wouldn't know how.

After paying the bill, the Childe, being a mere tool, naturally had nothing left to do, and Childe had other things to do.

After the Childe had traveled some distance from Bubu Pharmacy, a woman with long legs and black stockings, a Fatui of the Childe Clan, came to his side.

"You had already laid an ambush before I arrived at Bubu Pharmacy, so did you hear any intelligence?" the Childe asked.

"Alright, boss, I'll leave the snake business to you from now on." After the Childe and Zhongli left, Chen Luo slowly said to Baizhu.

"Hey, what kind of business?" Paimon asked.

It was Lumine and Paimon who went to find the Childe, so Paimon and Lumine didn't know what Chen Luo said to the owner of the Bubu Pharmacy during that time.

"Yes, it's a business of buying large quantities of dried snakes. Originally, considering how much Qiqi likes Chen Luo's coconut milk, I was planning to give your Everlasting Incense a 50% discount, but Chen Luo said that a 50% discount wasn't necessary, and that a 10% discount would be fine for his future dried snake business," Baizhu said.

"Hey? Chen Luo, are you stupid? How much money does it cost to acquire dried snakes? Don't you know which is more important, a 50% discount on 3 million or a 20% discount on the dried snake business?" Paimon mocked Chen Luo.

"I think you're the stupid one. The problem with the Everlasting Incense is that the Childe is spending money on it. What does it have to do with me?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Lumine.

If we give Everlasting Incense a discount, that would save the Childe master 1.5 million Mora, and Chen Luo and the Childe aren't even that close.

Or rather, if Zhongli hadn't been there, Chen Luo would have wanted Baizhu to give the Childe a 12% discount.

Don't ask, the answer is Chen Luo's deep love for the Fatui.

"Although... well, okay, you have a point." Lumine finally gave in, because after thinking about it, Lumine realized that if it were her, she probably wouldn't save money for the Childe either.

"Alright, the business is all settled. It's time to head to Yujing Terrace. Master Zhongli is still waiting for you," Chen Luo said to Lumine.

"Okay." Lumine nodded.

When Chen Luo and Lumine arrived at Yujing Terrace, they saw Zhongli placing the utensils and necessary items in their correct positions.

After working for a while, he personally placed the Everlasting Incense in the correct position on the table.

"Yes, you've arrived. Alright, now that the helpers have been hired and the Everlasting Incense has been prepared, we're not far from finishing the preparations for the Sending Off the Rite of Descension," Zhongli said to Lumine and the others.

"Phew... almost done." Paimon a sigh of relief.

"Little Paimon, what are you shrug about? You didn't do anything, did you?" Herrscher of Knowledge asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What do you mean I didn't do anything? I did my job helping... uh, acting as a guide to encourage Traveler," Paimon said, hands on his hips, not entirely confident.

"Hmm, I have my doubts about that." Lumine began to ponder Paimon's contribution to this Rite of Descension.

emmm...

What if I can't figure it out?

"Ying, don't stay silent. Say something to refute me."

"... Zhongli, let's talk about the ceremony for Rite of Descension." Lumine said with a serious expression.

"Ahem, after an afternoon, what have you gained from this journey to bid farewell to the Geo Archon?" Zhongli asked in a serious tone.

"Hey, Ying, what do you mean? Are you implying that I didn't do anything?"

"What a strange and wonderful journey!" Lumine couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't change the subject, you rascal." Paimon waved his little hand in front of Lumine.

"Strange?" To be honest, Zhongli found Lumine's evaluation rather strange.

"Why are you all ignoring me?" Paimon continued to try to prove his presence.

"I don't know whether to say I experienced the life of the rich or the struggles of the poor..." Lumine said helplessly.

If Lumine, an amateur, were to organize the Rite of Descension, even if she knew the whole process, she wouldn't be able to do it well. After all, Lumine has no idea how to distinguish the quality of Noctilucous Jade or how to judge the quality of Silk Flower...

These things are enough to give me a headache.

"And what about you?" Zhongli turned to ask Chen Luo.

"Me? You still remember me? I'm so happy." Chen Luo said with some emotion.

"My biggest takeaway is that you all treat me like a tool. If something happens, you don't even remember me. But it's okay, I'm used to it now," Chen Luo said.

"Well, we didn't forget about you on purpose," Zhongli said, shrugging.

"I think it's quite fun, mainly because setting up a stall is fun. Funerals and stuff... I feel like it would be better to let Alo use Snake Snake to eat the Archon's Remains... Hmm..." The Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't help but join the discussion.

But before Herrscher of Knowledge could finish speaking, Chen Luo covered his mouth.

Chen Luo knew what the other person wanted to say.

[Instead of holding a funeral for that Archon's Remains, it would be better to just let Chen Luo's Snake Snake eat Archon's Remains. At least then they would still have some use.]

My goodness, how could you say such a thing?

The real person is here.

However, the words of the Herrscher of Knowledge reminded Chen Luo that after the Rite of Descension ended, could he feed the Archon's Remains to the Snake Snake?

Hmm... that probably won't work.

"Although everyone's gains are different, there have been gains nonetheless. By the way, as a reward for helping to organize the Rite of Descension and for Chen Luo's free help in carving the Noctilucous Jade artifacts, I've decided to... treat everyone," Zhongli said.

"Zhongli... is treating? Oh my god." Zhongli's words shocked Lumine for a whole year.

Paimon even disregarded Lumine's deliberate attempt to ignore him and shared Lumine shock.

"Hmm? Oh, don't worry, I'll remember to bring money this time." Zhongli paused for a moment, then realized what Lumine was worried about, and assured her.

"Tonight I will take you to visit the port's old cellars, which are highly praised by the locals."

In fact, only true Liyue locals know that the best food is often hidden in the backstreets and alleys of the city.

As for those places like Gilded Palace and Wanmin Restaurant... they couldn't even get enough to eat.

Of course, someone like Zhongli wouldn't care about the price, since Zhongli doesn't have to worry about money at all.

Because I have no money...

But anyway, someone's treating, right?

"Gangkou Laojiao? The kind used for drinking?"

"That's right, we'll meet at the Three Bowls Not Crossing Port near the dock. See you there!" Zhongli said.

"But if you're looking for drinks or food, you really have to try Chen Luo's bar. Although Chen Luo sometimes likes to tease people, it's hard to deny the quality of his drinks and food." Paimon began to enthusiastically recommend Chen Luo's bar.

"The most important thing is that it's free," Paimon said.

Honestly, Paimon is really worried that Zhongli has forgotten to bring money again.

After all, Zhongli can be trusted in everything else, but not in the matter of Mora.

If Zhongli Zhen forgets to bring money, wouldn't she be the one paying?

"Well, besides the wine and food, the atmosphere is even more important at Port Old Cellar," Zhongli said after a moment of silence.

"But Chen Luo's bar has a great atmosphere too. You can even see an Anemo Archon get drunk and take off on the spot," Paimon said.

"..."
