Zhongli: A Glass of Geo Archon's Liquor, Please

Xinghai City is different. Because the Abyss Channel in Xinghai City is located below the Heavenly Prison, it only requires 100 low-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to one mid-grade spirit stone, to enter the Abyss Channel.

Even so, not many Talent User are willing to enter from here.

The main reason is that the Heavenly Prison's presence is simply too strong.

Of course, there aren't many people who can afford to spend 100 low-grade spirit stones.

"Spirit stones can be considered a clean energy source, but it's unlikely they can replace Honkai Crystal," Chen Luo muttered to himself, fiddling with the crystal in his hand that emitted a faint spiritual energy.

Su Yuan gave Xiao Ke'er a mid-grade spirit stone, and then casually gave Chen Luo a high-grade spirit stone.

According to Su Yuan, she didn't know Chen Luo was Talent User when she came down the Su Yuan; otherwise, she would have prepared a special gift for him.

This high-grade spirit stone can be considered a small gift for our first meeting.

This can be considered as making up for the lost New Year's money.

Although Su Yuan didn't tell Xiao Ke'er that she was actually Chen Luo's aunt, the New Year's money made Xiao Ke'er doubt that Chen Luo was Su Yuan's cousin.

Chen Luo didn't know if the other party did it on purpose.

Since the experimental mandatory contract was only experimental, some of its contents were rather hasty, so it's normal that loopholes were easy to find. But it shouldn't be necessary to specifically study these loopholes.

"If we convert it using a normal amount of Honkai Crystal, this one high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 100 Honkai Crystal. And the exchange rate of spirit stones is 1:100, which means that one Honkai Crystal is equivalent to one mid-grade spirit stone. Judging from Xiao Ke'er's high expectations for that mid-grade spirit stone, it should prove that the price of spirit stones is indeed high."

"So, my aunt gave me 100 Honkai Crystal as a gift upon our first meeting? That's really generous."

"So, does having over 300 Honkai Crystal mean I have three high-grade spirit stones?"

"But thinking about it this way, it really is expensive to need 5 Honkai Crystal to enter the Abyss Channel once." Chen Luo looked at the spirit stone in his hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

While comparing the exchange rate between Honkai Crystal and Spirit Stones is completely meaningless from a purely rational perspective, since the Honkai energy contained in Honkai Crystal may vary.

However, this also clearly demonstrates how dangerous the Abyss Channel is and how high the rewards are.

"Hmm, another Honkai Crystal has formed." Chen Luo tossed the Honkai Crystal that had just formed beside him into his backpack.

I have obtained another mid-grade spirit stone.

After realizing that he could open a door to connect to the Honkai World and absorb Honkai energy to condense into Honkai Crystal, Chen Luo immediately opened a door on the side of the bar. This door opened directly into Changkong City and continuously absorbed Honkai energy.

As Chen Luo's strength increased and his Herrscher Authority multiplied, the speed at which Chen Luo condensed a Honkai Crystal also accelerated.

It's almost to the point where, if you concentrate, you can get a Honkai Crystal in three or four minutes.

Not focused? Maybe five or six minutes.

If Chen Luo were to personally convert the existing Honkai Beasts into Honkai energy, the process would be even faster.

It's not a problem to get 10 Honkai Crystal per minute, provided you have enough Honkai Beasts.

At this rate, spending 4 hours a day in the bar should yield around 40 to 50 Honkai Crystal.

Two days is enough to make one high-grade spirit stone.

Tsk tsk, just as I expected.

Unfortunately, Honkai Crystal are something that most people dare not and cannot absorb.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

"Hey Otto, you've come at just the right time. Can you come over here for a second?" Chen Luo waved to Otto after Otto appeared.

Chen Luo had been waiting for Otto for a long time. After all, he had thought about it and decided that he would eventually have to get to Otto, the one who owned the villa on Raven Island.

"Oh, is there something you need? Is there a way to revive Kallen?" Otto's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over.

"Uh, no, I wanted to talk to you about the deal." Chen Luo felt a little embarrassed after hearing Otto's words.

He had promised to save Kallen, but nothing had come of it yet. To continue making deals with her now made him seem a little greedy.

However, Chen Luo felt that he was quite fair, at least he did not sell counterfeit goods to Otto.

That's not right either, since the counterfeit Herrscher Core is a fake in itself.

In short, Chen Luo never sold Otto any counterfeit or substandard products; everything he sold was worth the price.

"Oh, you mean that villa island? I've heard about it. I regret it," Otto said with some emotion.

Otto had also been aware of this matter, after all, it was a deal with Chen Luo, and the construction team was sent by Otto. However, Otto was still unsure of the cause of this incident.

The construction team had just left the villa island and moved away from the danger zone when the island was immediately sunk. This seems too coincidental no matter how you look at it.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you for compensation or anything. After all, you've already handed this over to me, and it's not up to you to decide what kind of natural disaster or man-made calamity might occur. The reason I called you here this time is to make another deal with you," Chen Luo said.

"..." The Raven sitting to the side felt as if it had been subtly insulted.

"What deal?"

"Hmm, are you interested in the currency of this Different World? I'm not just referring to simple currency; it's a special medium with considerable research value." Chen Luo said, placing a Mora on the bar counter.

"Oh?" Driven by his scholarly curiosity, Otto picked up the Mora and examined it.

However, after realizing what was happening, Otto showed little interest in the matter.

Chen Luo rarely deceives others; he generally believes in fair trade, a fact that Otto is aware of.

Since the other party claims it's a special energy medium, then it should indeed be like that. However, Otto isn't very interested in inventions right now; Otto's more interested in Kallen's resurrection.

"Okay, let's talk about the price," Otto said quite readily.

If Otto's guess is correct, Chen Luo probably wants to buy another villa island.

For Otto himself, villas and islands were quite cheap. If Chen Luo wanted them, he could just give him three or four. But Chen Luo seemed to prefer the idea that you only get what you put in.

Why insist on paying something of equal value when you can get something for free... Of course, Otto doesn't object to that.

"I plan to use 1 million Mora to buy a villa island," Chen Luo said.

"Okay, deal. I'll have Amber come over later, you just need to give Mora to the other party," Otto said after stretching.

Having just had another body dismantled by Durandal, it will take some time for her to adapt to the new body.

Otto was not interested in whether the price Chen Luo offered was high or low.

Even if Chen Luo said he wanted to spend one Mora to buy a villa island, Otto wouldn't care.

For Bishop of Schicksal Otto of Destiny, money is the least valuable thing; what interests Otto is the ability to convert money into combat power and tools that he can use.

"Just a drink, please," Otto, the customer, said.

"Oh, okay." Raven, startled awake by Chen Luo's poking of its soft flesh, quickly replied.

Raven never imagined that buying a villa island would be so easy.

Raven itself is not entirely unfamiliar with Mora. The key is that Raven also knows the approximate price of Mora. At least 1 million Mora is not enough to buy a villa island.

While chatting with the guests, Raven also inquired about the prices on their side. In terms of prices alone, the value of Mora on their side was lower than that of the Japanese Yen, although it's also possible that prices on their side were higher.

While 1 million Mora is a huge sum for the average person, it's achievable with enough effort.

So strictly speaking, 1 million Mora is enough to buy a villa island, which is equivalent to exchanging a pin for a villa in Different World.

And the other party didn't seem to care that Chen Luo was so dark-skinned.

"What do you know? This is called a rare commodity. Things that are commonplace in Different World might be quite precious in other worlds. If you had the ability to travel between worlds, and you bought a solar-powered flashlight in your own world and tried to sell it in Different World, you'd be out of luck if you couldn't sell it for 1 million Mora," Chen Luo said confidently.

It wasn't that Chen Luo didn't understand the value of the Different World bar; Chen Luo just hadn't paid attention to it before. For Chen Luo, the Primogem were more precious.

"And why do you think I didn't open up the channels for transactions between bar customers? Wasn't it for this moment?" Chen Luo said.

In Chen Luo's bar, unless Chen Luo them something or gives them permission, they cannot take anything away except what they brought with them.

In other words, the bar automatically blocked the possibility of transactions between customers.

"So I own the villa again now?" Raven said blankly, almost stunned by the huge surprise.

The joy of finding something lost was indeed a great delight for the Raven.

"No, you've misunderstood. I own the villa again; it's not yours yet. Your task now is to accumulate work points," Chen Luo said.

"..." Raven stared at the debt on Chen Luo's specially made task panel and fell silent for a moment.

Chen Luo is really cruel.

"No rebuttal allowed, because the contract stipulates that subordinates are not allowed to argue with their superiors." Chen Luo said immediately before Raven could say anything more.

"Then... does the contract stipulate that subordinates cannot feed their superiors?" Raven brought up a dinner she had made herself from under the bar at some point.

This is the dinner that Raven promised to make for Chen Luo; it's time to bring it out.

"Huh, did someone call for the Judgment Time? Why did you bring out the Judgment Time?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.

"You bastard, who are you insulting? This is the dinner I made!"

"... How about this, as long as you don't make me eat your dinner, let's discuss the transfer of ownership of the villa island tomorrow." Chen Luo looked at the unidentifiable lump of something and remained silent for a while before speaking.

Raven definitely didn't make this at a bar, and he might have deliberately made it taste bad, otherwise how could a normal meal look like this?

What kind of eccentric food is this?

Although Chen Luo intended to teach Raven a lesson, this was not a reason for Chen Luo to make things difficult for himself.

Compared to teaching the Raven a lesson, Chen Luo felt that his own life was more precious.

"..." Raven didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

I'm happy because the villa should be transferred to my name tomorrow, but I'm also sad because I feel like I've been rejected. And rejected harshly at that.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

"Alo, I want to drink the wine made by the Immortal Ancestor... um." Venti ran in excitedly.

But after shouting halfway through his Shenhe sitting in the corner as usual and stopped himself from speaking.

Anyway, Venti knew that Chen Luo understood what she was trying to say.

"Of course, no problem," Chen Luo said with a smile.

Chen Luo had already fed the Archon's Remains to his Infinite Serpent, but the Infinite Serpent reported that it was hard to eat, so Chen Luo stopped feeding it.

But it's okay, there's Venti here, right? Let's just feed him the whole thing.

Seeing that there was no mission feedback, the Raven next to him knew that this must be a side job that Chen Luo had taken on.

Sigh, it's so hard being a worker these days; even bosses are competing with bartenders for business...

Chapter 386 Zhongli: A glass of Geo Archon's Liquor, please.

"Hmm, a familiar taste." Just as Venti was about to drink the glass of wine, a voice made Venti spit it out.

"Pfft cough cough... Grandpa? How did you get here?" Just as Wendy was drinking the wine made from the Archon's Remains molt, Morax suddenly appeared from behind. Venti didn't cough up his lungs, all thanks to the fact that he was Wind Spirit and didn't have lungs.

"Hmm? Didn't you tell me this bar is worth coming to?" Zhongli frowned, replying to Venti while surveying the bar.

Finally, their gaze fell upon the glass of wine Venti was holding.

If Zhongli wasn't mistaken, the familiar aura he sensed was coming from this glass of wine.

Venti, sensing Zhongli's gaze, quietly moved the glass of wine to a spot out of Zhongli's sight.

Having witnessed all of this and understood what had happened, Chen Luo sat leisurely at the bar, watching the show. In any case, the task was already completed after the other party took a sip of wine, and now it was Venti's turn.

"Ah, indeed. This bar is really worth coming to. Would you like a Geo Archon's Liquor, old man? Or Wind God's Liquor would be fine too?" Venti subtly tried to change the subject.

"Geo Archon's Liquor, Wind God's Liquor?"

"Yes, that's right. It's a concept-based beverage. For example, the concept of Wind God's Liquor is that it's brewed with the Anemo Archon God. As for which Wind Anemo Archon it is, I really don't know. Of course, it's just a concept. Geo Archon's Liquor is the same. Based on my own experience, this kind of beverage has certain effects. It can resist Erosion because it makes your soul feel as if it has returned to the heavens for a moment. I'm talking about Wind God's Liquor here. I'm not so sure about Geo Archon's Liquor."

Venti said, half changing the subject and half genuinely recommending it.

Venti always felt that for Old Undead like them who had lived for thousands of years, coming to a bar to drink drinks that matched their own attributes was quite beneficial.

While it may not be able to completely resist Erosion, it can certainly make one's soul more free. Of course, since the Anemo Archon reveres freedom, this feeling is understandable. As for the Geo Archon, it's less certain.

"Wind God's Liquor, Geo Archon's Liquor, then is the one you drank Geo Archon's Liquor? I felt a familiar sensation in it?" Zhongli was still very puzzled about this matter.

"Ah, yes, this is a drink made using a special method, right? Alo." As Venti spoke, she turned to look at Chen Luo, her eyes pleading.

Help! Help! Help!

Please save the children.

"Zhongli, for Venti, drinking only the Anemo Archon Moxibustion is enough to satisfy him, but I feel that you might need another formula." Chen Luo sighed inwardly after seeing Venti's expression, and then said.

"Oh? What's the recipe?" I've arrived at an unfamiliar bar. Putting aside the atmosphere, if I want to see the bar's potential, I should check out the menu recommended by the owner.
