Their Commission Rewards Are Not Right Chapter 40

[Cryo Vision]

(7.8% Off)

What can I say? Eula really doesn't have any friends.

At first, Venti's discount was 20% off, but now it's 25% off. Eula's initial discount is 7.8% off.

And the two items mentioned above are the most worthwhile purchases for Eula, in Chen Luo's opinion.

As for the [Gale Knight's Swordplay · Aristocracy], forget it. Eula's swordsmanship is fused with the Rite of Rebirth Dance, and it's not really suitable for men to practice, at least not in Chen Luo's opinion.

However, it was obvious that Chen Luo didn't intend to let Eula off the hook just like that. After all, she was a new customer, and new customers meant more wool to shear...

Chen Luo leaned one hand on the counter, staring blankly at Eula, his mind pondering a question.

How did Eula even put on her clothes?

She was the most conservatively dressed woman in all of Genshin Impact, yet also the most alluring.

"Wh-what are you looking at?" Eula felt genuinely strange being stared at like that.

"I was wondering if your Reconnaissance Company wanders around outside all day?"

"To call it 'wandering' is a bit much. I can only say it's due to our duties, which require us to pursue monsters and the Abyss Order outside of Mondstadt for extended periods. We don't really return to Mondstadt much," Eula said after taking a sip of wine.

"Today, during my leisure time, I planned to have a drink at the tavern, but I was dragged into an extremely remote alley by this bard. I initially thought he was going to play a prank on me, but I never expected him to actually lead me to a magical tavern," Eula couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the world.

If she hadn't followed this bard, would she never have been able to find this tavern?

"Do you like drinking a lot?"

"You could say that. In Mondstadt, everyone likes drinking. Of course, not those strong liquors. Mondstadters aren't used to the strong liquors from Snezhnaya," Eula emphasized.

It was said that the liquor from Snezhnaya was extremely potent. Master Diluc of Mondstadt once attempted to establish cooperation with Snezhnayan liquor merchants, but he got completely drunk after just one bottle at a banquet.

He woke up and immediately severed ties with the Snezhnayan merchants.

"Then, would you be interested in trying a drink brewed by the Anemo Archon?" Hearing that she liked drinking, Chen Luo finally revealed his "fangs."

It was a joke. If you met someone from Mondstadt and didn't offer them a drink brewed by the Anemo Archon, it would be a real shame.

"The Anemo Archon... Lord Barbatos?" Even Eula, a descendant of sinners with her own unique way of dealing with things as the Gale Knight, was startled by Chen Luo's words.

The people of Mondstadt had immense faith in the Anemo Archon Barbatos. Besides the Church, even the common folk did. Or rather, gods were generally revered in their own nations.

The Raiden Shogun, that pathetic god who caused a rebellion due to special decrees, was an exception.

In short, the people of Mondstadt had always loved and worshipped the Anemo Archon Barbatos, and Eula was no exception.

It was just unknown if her illusions would be shattered when she realized the drunken bard sitting next to her was actually the Anemo Archon Barbatos.

"You've misunderstood. The Anemo Archon I'm referring to isn't the one you're imagining. It's a concept, like wine brewed with wind, a special product," Chen Luo explained.

"Of course, if you wish, I can let you experience what it's like to have wine brewed by Barbatos. This wine is truly an all-purpose wine; it can simulate any flavor, even those you've never tasted," Chen Luo said sincerely.

"..." Eula looked at the wine in Chen Luo's hand, which looked like plain water, and felt a mix of emotions.

Although she was a descendant of sinners and had to seek revenge on the Knights every day, drinking wine brewed by the Anemo Archon felt a bit too rebellious.

"Don't worry, after drinking it, Lord Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, will forgive you. I guarantee it," Chen Luo said, patting his chest.

"I will not forgive you!" Venti, who had been looking horrified all along, exclaimed loudly from the side.

While this wine wasn't actually brewed by him, it could be adjusted to taste like the real thing.

"Alo, are you never going to stop? Can't you find another way to fleece people? Stop obsessing over your damned Anemo Archon-brewed wine!" Venti complained incessantly.

Venti had initially thought that by bringing Eula here, he, having successfully acquired a customer, could escape Chen Luo's clutches. He never expected Chen Luo to become even more insane.

"If you don't like the Anemo Archon, there's also the Geo Archon. It just might not taste very good," Chen Luo muttered.

"I want to drink it!" Venti's eyes lit up instantly.

[Ding! You have a new commission!]

[Wine Brewed by the Geo Archon]: The Anemo Archon wants to drink wine brewed by the Geo Archon. Fulfill his wish!

Reward: 80 Primogems + Random Item.

"...No problem." Although Chen Luo really wanted to complain about Venti accepting the concept of wine brewed by the Geo Archon so quickly, as long as it could bring Primogem revenue, it was better to just ignore it.

Eula, on the other hand, looked at the defiant young man with surprise.

While drinking wine brewed by the Geo Archon wasn't necessarily going against her faith as a Mondstadter, her quick acceptance felt a bit strange.

"Gale Knight, why don't you try it too?" Venti suggested to Eula.

"Then give me a cup of wine brewed by the Anemo Archon." Seeing Venti's encouraging gaze, Eula, despite feeling it was strange to drink wine brewed by a god, finally made up her mind.

"!!!" Venti stared at the rebellious girl, dumbfounded.

Good heavens, I wanted you to drink the Geo Archon's wine, and you... Fine, you win.

Just you wait, tomorrow I'll turn your family's story into a song and sing it a thousand times!

Venti decided this in his pique.

[Ding! You have a new commission!]

[Wine Brewed by the Anemo Archon]: With the Anemo Archon's encouragement (mistake), the knight who believes in the Anemo Archon decided to have a drink brewed by the Anemo Archon.

Reward: 80 raw stones + random item.

This is truly...

Chen Luo had no intention of clarifying the misunderstanding between Venti and Eula. As long as he could earn raw stones, that was all that mattered.

Since neither of these two drinks could be made, Void Wine had to be used as a substitute. Thus, this cocktail preparation was remarkably quick, and within seconds, two glasses of wine were placed before the two individuals.

Looking at the green and yellow drinks before them, both of them fell into deep thought, not downing them in one gulp like they usually did when drinking.

Although the drinks were ordered, whether to drink them and how to drink them became a big problem.

"Drink up, why are you just standing there?" Chen Luo urged.

Since the commission required them to drink, Chen Luo could only receive his reward after they consumed the drinks.

Chen Luo decided that even if they didn't drink, he would have to force them to drink.

"Jingle!"

"Huh? Is this a new customer? Also, Boss, I'm here." When Mona pushed open the door, she saw the two people sitting at the counter, lost in thought.

[Ding! You have a new commission!]

"What would you like to eat today?" Chen Luo asked Mona very gently.

He had to be gentle. This Mona was truly well-behaved, coming every day to deliver raw stones, and she was incredibly easy to take care of.

"Hmm, then I'll have the deluxe Yangzhou fried rice. I've been eating too much meat these past few days, so it's time for some vegetables," Mona said happily.

This was truly a happy problem.

If she didn't control her figure, she might gain weight.

The night before entering this shop, Mona was still worrying about starving to death. Now, she had meat and fish every day and was even starting to worry about potentially gaining weight.

The shop owner is forever my god!

I love the shop owner so much!

"I think you should still order some meat dishes. After all, if you eat only vegetarian dishes for two meals, your nutrition will be insufficient. And the next meal is tomorrow morning. You can't eat meat dishes in the morning, right? It'll be too greasy," Chen Luo said with concern.

For someone like her, who came to deliver raw stones every day, Chen Luo naturally greeted her with a smile. He even cared about whether her body would be harmed by her diet and ensured she had a balanced nutritional intake.

"Mhm, then I'll leave everything up to you, Shop Owner," Mona nodded, completely at ease, entrusting the decision-making power to Chen Luo.

Mona was not a little girl who easily trusted others. Mona had divined using Hydro Divination. Hydro Divination told Mona that she could trust this shop owner with peace of mind, that he wouldn't harm her, and that he would wholeheartedly consider her well-being.

Sigh, where can I find such a shop owner?

I hope this shop never closes.

"What are you two doing? Not drinking the wine, that's not like you, Venti," Mona said strangely as she sat by the bar, looking at Venti.

"Ah, yes, hmm, I suppose it is time to drink," Venti said, looking at the cup of golden-yellow wine before him with a complex expression.

"Cheers," Venti raised his glass to Eula.

He also silently mourned for the Anemo Archon, who was unaware of what the Anemo Archon was.

Although Venti knew it was a virtual existence, he still felt it was somewhat absurd.

"Cheers," Eula also raised her glass.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Obtained Skill (Divine Arrow Technique)]

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Obtained Item (Maiden's Bone Whistle)]

Looking at the two skills and items he had just obtained, Chen Luo silently gave Mona a thumbs-up.

It was worth treating her so well in the past; this assist was great!

Especially the [Divine Arrow Technique], it was of great help to Chen Luo.

Chapter 65: Limited-Time Event - [The Third Honkai]

Goodbye, Mama, I'm setting sail tonight.

Don't worry about me, I have the oars of joy and wisdom.

When you wake up...

"Stop singing, stop singing, you're out of tune," Chen Luo lightly tapped his head.

Do you know what's most unbearable when someone else is singing?

It's when someone else is singing in your head, and you can't cover your ears at all.

Especially when they're out of tune.

"Nonsense, I'm not out of tune," the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was residing in Chen Luo's sea of consciousness, protested.

"You are out of tune, okay?"

"…The Herrscher of Knowledge has altered your consciousness, and now you find the Herrscher of Knowledge's songs incredibly pleasant to listen to," the Herrscher of Knowledge said after a moment of silence.

"...Alright, you win." Chen Luo fell silent instantly.

"Is anyone still monitoring me?" Chen Luo asked, walking down the street with a parasol.

Chen Luo had just left his residential complex and was heading in an unknown direction.

Summer vacation had started today, which meant Chen Luo was finally free.

It also meant Chen Luo had to go carry out his mission.

"Yes, of course, at least 5 people are watching you. Among them are at least your little brother and your deskmate." The Herrscher of Knowledge was very sensitive to mental probes and the gazes of those watching Chen Luo.

It was precisely because someone was always watching Chen Luo that he left his house with a parasol on a sweltering day, rather than teleporting directly.

After accepting that mission, Chen Luo had the opportunity to teleport across worlds directly, and could even arrive directly in Changkong City.

It had to be said, Chen Luo's talent was quite intelligent and amazing.

It was just that his location in Changkong City wouldn't be fixed; it could be some random corner, or even a garbage heap, it was all uncertain.

But the current problem wasn't where Chen Luo would teleport to, but the fact that a group of people were watching him.

Chen Luo wanted to teleport now, but it was easy to teleport away and difficult to teleport back.

So, Chen Luo could only walk like an idiot under the scorching sun.

Therefore, Chen Luo ultimately decided to take the bus.

He'd drive to the edge of the city first; Chen Luo didn't believe anyone could actually follow him to the city's edge.

But just five minutes after Chen Luo started walking, the Herrscher of Knowledge said that the number of people watching him had increased, which made Chen Luo's mood somewhat collapse.
