Who Could It Be, Drinking on Credit and Paying Off the Debt by Washing Dishes?
How many steps does it take to put an elephant in a refrigerator?
Open the refrigerator, stuff the elephant inside, and then close the refrigerator.
Removing the Herrscher Gem from Wendy's body requires several steps.
Cut Wendy's legs open, take out the Herrscher Gem, and sew her legs back up.
Chen Luo even had the leisure to give Wendy's legs a makeover, restoring their whiteness and leaving no scars after surgery.
Hilarious! When Chen Luo first took out the Gem of Desire, it even tried to resist, but Chen Luo just threw it into his backpack.
Before Theresa could even get into a state of anxiety after entering the operating room, Chen Luo pushed Wendy out.
"Oh, so... the surgery is over?" Theresa asked incredulously.
"How much trouble do you want?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Theresa.
If Wendy hadn't insisted on watching Chen Luo remove the Gem of Desire, and if Chen Luo hadn't wanted to be known as a doctor who couldn't perform surgery, Chen Luo would have simply used the Herrscher of Void's abilities to remove the gem.
"What about Wendy's leg injury..." Theresa hesitated, then stopped herself.
"Take this." Chen Luo placed a level-two Teleport Anchor, specially designed for healing and portability, into Wendy's hand.
"What is this?" Wendy asked.
"This is something that can heal your body. If you keep it with you for a day or two, your leg should return to normal."
"Although your leg bone has been slightly eroded by Honkai due to prolonged contact with the Gem of Desire, your Honkai energy resistance is quite high. After my adjustments, not only will it be able to return to normal in the future, but it may also acquire some of the characteristics of the Gem of Desire. In other words, you may be able to control a relatively low degree of wind in the future."
This is also thanks to Chen Luo's 200% Honkai Energy Adaptation, which allows him to absolutely absorb and control Honkai energy.
The prerequisite is that you can have close contact with her, such as touching Wendy's leg bones.
"Thank you so much, Doctor Luo," Wendy said gratefully.
"Call me the Doctor," Chen Luo said, adjusting his glasses, which didn't actually exist.
"Thank you, Dr. Chen Luo."
"Hmm, the little girl speaks very nicely." Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction.
"Oh, right, I remember this too." Chen Luo said, pointing to the Teleport Anchor that Chen Luo had shaped into Mora in Wendy's hand.
"Hey, should we return it?"
"Hmm, you don't have to pay it back if you don't mind, provided you don't mind me possibly appearing by your side at any time," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.
After receiving 300 Primogems from the other party and 600 Primogems from Theresa, Chen Luo didn't mind giving away 110 Primogems.
The problem is that this Teleport Anchor can only provide a small amount of continuous healing. Apart from Chen Luo, 7-day Divine Statue.
"Can I keep it? I can trade you my things for it," Wendy said timidly.
"No need to exchange it, you can keep it if you like. But if I ever need to use it, I might just quietly take it from you," Chen Luo said.
As the creator of the Teleport Anchors, Chen Luo can freely retrieve Teleport Anchors placed anywhere.
Includes portable Teleport Anchor.
"Of course." Wendy nodded happily.
Wendy wanted to express her gratitude to Chen Luo, the person who helped heal her leg and properly housed the Gem of Desire.
Wendy originally intended to keep Chen Luo's belongings and then use them as an excuse to return the wages she had saved up over the years as Valkyrie to him as compensation.
But Wendy seems to have misjudged the price of the thing she has in her hand.
"If you have nothing to do, or if your leg injury flares up again, you can come to the bar and let me take a look," Chen Luo said.
"Understood, the Doctor."
[Ding! Mission complete]
[Ding! Mission complete]
The missions from Wendy and Theresa have all been completed.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go retrieve Venti," Chen Luo said to the two of them.
"Huh? Recycle... me?" Wendy tilted her head.
"Emmm, I'm not talking about you, but another drunken poet whose name sounds very similar to yours," Chen Luo said after a moment of silence.
"Oh."
"When you push Wendy's wheelchair later, don't push it too fast. Don't let her do any work these few days; let her rest more. If possible, you can bring her to the bar for some medicinal cuisine to complement her diet," Chen Luo instructed Theresa on the things Wendy needed to be careful about these few days.
Then Chen Luo grabbed the Herrscher of Knowledge by the back of her collar and led her to Liyue Harbor.
The first person Chen Luo would definitely look for is Venti, because Venti is the person he trusts the most.
They arrived at the place where Chen Luo had asked Venti to stay, but Chen Luo did not see Venti.
"Emmm..." Although he had already guessed this outcome, seeing Venti really disappear, Chen Luo could only sigh in vain.
Following the Fate Threads connecting him to Venti, Chen Luo attempted to find Venti's whereabouts.
Then, Chen Luo met Venti at the "Three Bowls Not Crossing Port" restaurant, where she was asking for another cup.
"..."
Well, instead of going to my bar, you've sneaked off here to drink in the wild!
And that's not all. I told you to go drinking in the wild while you were doing your mission.
Let's kneel on durians at the bar tonight!
Well, okay, it's not like we can't give them a chance.
If Chen Luo can guess who he is after blindfolding the other person for a short while, he will give him a chance.
After stretching his limbs, Chen Luo used a Stealth Master technique he hadn't used in a long time to silently float towards Venti, and before Wendy could react, he covered Wendy's eyes.
"Guess who I am." At Chen Luo's prompting glance, the Herrscher of Knowledge asked in perfect unison.
"Fu Hua? What are you doing here?"
"Hmm, you guessed wrong." Chen Luo's voice rang out, and at the same time, he released the other person's eyes.
Venti froze when she heard Chen Luo's voice.
"Venti, you haven't forgotten the task I assigned you, have you?"
"Uh, well, I guess the problem's been solved, and you haven't arrived yet, so I'm just having a couple of drinks here." Venti turned to Chen Luo, who had a cold expression, and gave an awkward smile.
"Hmph! Wasn't this just to test your diligence? I didn't expect you to disappoint me so much. The matter was only resolved 10 minutes ago, and we're not even sure if there will be any further repercussions, and you've already become lax."
Chen Luo made no mention of the fact that he had casually performed surgery on Wendy.
"I'm sorry." Venti apologized very quickly, after all, Chen Luo had paid her to protect Liyue Harbor.
"..." Venti apologized faster than Chen Luo had imagined.
"Alright, let's go. I'll take you back to Mondstadt." Since even the mighty Barbatos had personally apologized, Chen Luo was too lazy to pursue the matter any further.
"Uh, Chen Luo, did you bring any money?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Venti sat up abruptly from her chair, but instead of following Chen Luo, she asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"... Don't tell me you came here to drink without any money?" Chen Luo looked at Venti with a hint of disbelief.
"Who gave you the courage to ask for drinks? If you can't afford to pay, are you going to sing or wash dishes here?" Chen Luo was completely stunned.
"When did you become a social outcast like Zhongli, who does nothing productive all day and just freeloads everywhere?"
"Uh? Who is Zhongli?"
"It's that old man you mentioned," Chen Luo reminded him.
"Oh, so this is the old man's name in the mortal world. I really forgot to ask earlier. But what you're saying is a bit too much. I only drank it because I believed you could find me." Venti offered her unique perspective on the matter.
"... What kind of twisted logic is this? Fine, I'll cover your drinks this time. Remember to pay me back next time." Chen Luo sighed, then tossed a bag of Mora onto the table.
"Huh? Do I still need to pay it back? Can I use it to sing at a bar to pay off the debt?" Venti asked.
"Then you should discuss it with Yakumo Yukari and the others. I don't mind," Chen Luo said as he walked away.
After seeing that the shopkeeper had taken the money and confirmed that there was enough to pay for the drinks and even a little extra, Venti followed him.
Chen Luo found a secluded spot, opened the Bar Door, and threw Venti inside. After taking Venti in, he started taking in other people.
"Durandal, thank you for staying here for over an hour." Chen Luo found Durandal in another direction of the port.
Durandal is quite different from Venti, that lazy bum; Durandal diligently guards the harbor.
"It's nothing, I'm only staying here for an hour. I have to thank you for the amulet you made, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to explain why I'm standing here in armor and holding a spear." Durandal said as she took off the Mora pendant from her neck, intending to return it to Chen Luo.
If it weren't for this pendant, which prompted the Millelith to come and question her, Durandal really wouldn't have been able to fool them.
"No need, you can keep it. This is something I made using... a special power. It can make others ignore the strangeness on you. You might need it when you're on a mission in the future, so just take it. It's not anything too valuable anyway," Chen Luo said.
This is a special amulet of Mora, crafted using the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge.
The reason for using Mora as a material is that, in addition to being used as currency, Mora can also be used as a material for fusion alchemy, so it has particularly good magical versatility.
At Chen Luo's insistence, Durandal took the Mora pendant back.
"Where's Xiao You?" Tianlu then asked.
Durandal and Xiao You were stationed at the same location. Since Durandal's appearance was somewhat unexpected, Chen Luo had her serve as Xiao You's accessory and guard the area nearby.
"Uh, she... doesn't know." Durandal shook her head.
"I just saw that things seemed to be over, so I didn't stop Xiao You from wanting to go somewhere else to wander around."
"Oh, I see. I'll go look for it. You can go back first."
Chen Luo opened the Bar Door for Durandal and watched her return to the bar. He then began to follow the trail of Fate Threads to find Xiao You's location. Chen Luo then saw her at the Scent of Spring...
What kind of weird meet-and-greet is this?
"My child is a little naughty, and I'm so grateful to you for taking care of him, big sister," Chen Luo said while tugging at Xiao You's ear.
"No, Xiao You is very cute too, she knows how to make girls happy."
"Exactly, Master, I had a very pleasant chat with her. What do you mean by 'thanks to her for taking care of me'?" Xiao You said, dissatisfied.
"If you want to wash the dishes every day, just say so," Chen Luo glared at Xiao You.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Just kidding, expecting me to do the dishes with my Holy Sword Durandal is absolutely impossible.
Okay, maybe, but you can't keep washing dishes all the time.
So, after buying some perfume from Ying'er as compensation for the time wasted, Chen Luo dragged Xiao You by the ear to find Sirin.
Unlike Sirin, Xiao You did stay obediently near the northern port to ensure that nothing like Sirin tsunami would happen. However, things like sea level fluctuations that could damage cargo ships were indeed unavoidable.
When Chen Luo found Little Sirin, he saw her staring at Qiqi, who had somehow ended up at the port.
"Master, you've arrived. Sirin has been guarding this port well." After Chen Luo approached, Sirin sensed Chen Luo presence and flew over excitedly.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." After patting Sirin's head, Chen Luo let go of Sirin and then looked at 77.
"Coconut Milk, long time no see." Qiqi stared at Chen Luo for a while before tilting her head and saying.
"... I'm so glad you can remember me without looking at the notebook, but please don't call me by the wrong name, okay?" Chen Luo said, both amused and exasperated.
The northernmost port of Liyue Harbor is near Bubu Pharmacy, so it's quite normal for Qiqi to wander around in that area.
While it's quite normal for Qiqi to not remember other people's names, at least don't use "coconut milk" as a substitute for yourself, okay? Chen Luo knows that coconut milk tastes good, but Chen Luo is not coconut milk.
That's outrageous.
"Qiqi, I want to drink coconut milk..." Qiqi bit her finger and looked at Chen Luo.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
"Emmm..." Chen Luo really didn't expect that coming here to look for someone would yield unexpected results.
"Speaking of which... I think I also have an Endless Milk Jar, which can produce ten gourds of coconut milk every day." Chen Luo thought to himself as he took out the two-star item he had initially obtained.
"Here you go." Chen Luo handed the gourd to Qiqi.
"Coconut milk, it's delicious, you can taste the flavor, but it's very bland," Qiqi said, tilting her head as she took a sip of coconut milk from the gourd.
[Ding! Mission complete]
"The key is that you can drink this milk anytime," Chen Luo said, patting Qiqi's head.
