Yun Lian'er: Chen Luo, which of us is the S-Rank Mage?

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated. According to common sense, Miss Keqing shouldn't be the one to pay for this. In fact, it should be paid by Liyue Qixing or Moonlit Pavilion. If I remember correctly, it should be more than 10,000 Mora, right? I just happened to bring 20,000 with me to dinner today..." Ganyu said as she tried to take out her wallet.

"Stop, Ganyu, you might have misunderstood. I'm actually not that interested in Mora. After all, you should know that I spent 750 million Mora to support the post-disaster reconstruction of Liyue Harbor, so I don't lack these 10,000 Mora."

"Then what do you mean, Mr. Chen Luo?" Ganyu looked at Chen Luo with some confusion.

Chen Luo contributed 750 million Mora to support the post-disaster reconstruction efforts in Liyue Harbor. Ganyu was present at the time, so he was naturally aware of this.

Since he could come up with 7.51 Mora, he probably wouldn't care about the other 10,000 Mora, right? So the purpose of Chen Luo's words was truly something that Ganyu couldn't quite figure out.

"I just wanted Ganyu to remind Keqing that as Liyue 7th Star, she still owes someone more than 10,000 Mora."

"???" Doesn't this still cost money?

"For a Liyue Qixing to owe money and not pay it back, and it's only 10,000 Mora... that sounds interesting." Chen Luo laughed unkindly.

"... Mr. Chen Luo, do you mean you don't want the 10,000 Mora? You just want Miss Keqing to know that she owes Mora but can't pay it back, so she has to keep bearing the burden of not paying back the debt?" Ganyu asked uncertainly after a moment of silence.

"Ganyu, you are so smart."

"..."

Although it's not quite appropriate to call him the great hero who saved Liyue, Ganyu always felt that Chen Luo was somewhat ill.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Ganyu, I won't say much else, but what I need to tell you is that true collectors will collect anything. Even IOUs. Oh, right, damn it, I didn't ask Keqing for an IOU back then. Ganyu, could you help me get one?"

"This..." Ganyu felt somewhat embarrassed.

Asking a Liyue 7-star to sign an IOU for a mere 10,000 Mora is really asking too much of them.

"Tell her that if she doesn't write an IOU, the whole of Liyue Harbor will know tomorrow that Keqing owes money and isn't paying it back. And this is my lifelong wish, please..."

"Oh, right, didn't the Liyue Qixing say they would grant me a wish? I'll use this. My wish is for Keqing to write me an IOU." Chen Luo suddenly remembered this.

"???" Ganyu was stunned for a moment.

I wasn't sure before, but now I'm really sure that Chen Luo has some kind of problem.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say any wish would be granted?" Chen Luo frowned.

Actually, Chen Luo didn't care about this wish at all. After all, to be fair, a wish is only a wish if Liyue Qixing wants to fulfill it for you, and if they don't want to fulfill it for you, it's just an empty promise.

Besides, who is Chen Luo? Chen Luo is Traveler. Chen Luo is responsible for granting other people's wishes. When would he need others to grant Chen Luo wishes?

What wish can the Liyue Qixing grant Chen Luo?

Could it be that they're going to give Keqing, Ganyu, and Ningguang to Chen Luo?

Or was it to give Chen Luo countless Mora?

If Chen Luo wanted to, he could do all of these things himself. Why would he need them to fulfill his wishes?

Chen Luo's biggest wish right now is to obtain countless Primogem or a Six-star Item.

Honestly, even if you sold the entire Liyue Harbor, you might not be able to get a single Six-star Item.

So we should still use wishes, even if they're not always appropriate.

"This... that won't be necessary. Given Miss Keqing's personality, she would never consider such a small matter as a fulfillment of her wish. So, in the end, the wish remains, the IOU is written, but Miss Keqing is very angry."

"So let's put this matter aside for now. I'll figure out how to handle the IOU. Let's save this wish for a more precious opportunity," Ganyu said with a sigh.

"Thank you, Sister Ganyu."

"Ganyu... Sister? Please don't..." Hearing Chen Luo address her like that, Ganyu felt embarrassed and shy.

"As for something more important, I just remembered something. Do you think it's possible to get the Liyue Qixing to agree to support Mr. Zhongli in the election for the Geo Archon position?" Chen Luo pointed at Zhongli, who was drinking with Barbatos was not doing anything productive.

"Pfft, cough cough..." Zhongli spat out a mouthful of wine.

What happened?

"Mr. Zhongli... do you also have this idea?" Ganyu looked at Zhongli with some surprise.

"Of course, didn't the owner of the Vision ever want to become the Geo Archon? Of course, Zhongli certainly didn't want to control Liyue Harbor. He had no interest in that. What he wanted more was to be closer to the Geo Archon and feel what the Geo Archon had felt."

"Mr. Zhongli wouldn't mind even making him a puppet Geo Archon," Chen Luo said.

Don't talk nonsense, I mind it!

Zhongli hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"You should discuss this with the Seven Stars of Liyue. I can't represent them in these matters." Ganyu shook her head.

"Sigh, that's a real pity." Chen Luo sighed.

That would be wonderful.

And also, Chen Luo, can you please stop playing around?

Grandpa Zhongli feels very tired now.

I'm warning you, don't push me any further. If you do, I'll send you a dream and have someone turn you into Geo Archon.

Hmm, it doesn't seem like a bad idea after all.

Chen Luo does seem to be able to modify the Elemental Eye into the Vision the Geo.

Moreover, Chen Luo himself is a visitor from Different World, guaranteeing that he has no connection with local Liyue merchants and can maintain absolute neutrality.

She has a good image, is skilled in many things, and enjoys fulfilling people's wishes. Just recently, she saved the entire Liyue Harbor, and has a very good reputation.

The key is that if Chen Luo becomes the Geo Archon, there's no need to worry about him issuing orders arbitrarily, because he won't stay in the Teyvat Continent for long at all. He'll essentially be just a figurehead, but Celestia won't find fault with him.

If something really happens one day, Chen Luo can still step in to protect Liyue Harbor.

Someone who is strong, has a good personality, has little desire for power, has no connection with this world, and even looks down on the position of Geo Archon, only using it as a joke, is in a sense the most suitable person to be Geo Archon.

Because there's no need to worry about him seizing the Geo Archon's authority and wreaking havoc on Liyue Harbor...

"Grandpa, what are you thinking about?" Chen Luo snapped his fingers in front of Zhongli to wake Zhongli.

"I'm thinking about the next Geo Archon," Zhongli said in a deep voice after glancing at Chen.

"Oh? Grandpa, you're finally planning to become the Geo Archon, is that right?" Chen Luo's interest was instantly piqued.

"No, that's not it." Zhongli shook his head.

However, despite the many benefits, the possibility of Chen Luo becoming the Geo Archon is still very low, not because Chen Luo is unsuitable, but because Chen Luo might simply run away.

If he were to go directly to Different World, who would be able to find Chen Luo?

Forget it, let the people of Liyue about their own affairs.

"Jingle!"

Just as Chen Luo was about to continue asking questions, the wind chimes rang.

"Waaah!" A familiar sound rang out, causing Chen Luo to look in that direction.

Then Chen Luo saw the little fox being held in Yakumo Ran's arms, who was very happy to see Chen Luo.

"Blue, thank you for bringing the little fox back."

"You're welcome." Lan shook her head.

"Gurgle!" Just as Lan walked to the front of the bar, the little fox used Lan's arm, which was holding the little fox, to lift itself into the air and then kicked Chen Luo.

Chen Luo did not resist, so the little fox kicked Chen Luo in the forehead and then rolled gracefully onto the bar counter.

"Okay, I know I'm sorry. I accidentally forgot about you in Gensokyo. But you seem to be having a good time." Chen Luo muttered to himself after subconsciously rubbing his forehead.

"Goo?" But the little fox that had landed on the bar was no longer listening to Chen Luo.

"Hey, Xiao Ba, what are you doing? Don't step on the table!" Chen Luo quickly chased after the little fox as it ran towards a table.

In the end, Chen Luo caught the little fox at the table where Shenhe was sitting.

"Waaah?" The little fox scratched at Qingxin, who was sitting on an empty plate, and glanced at Chen Luo every now and then.

"You want Qingxin too? But speaking of which, Ganyu ate so cleanly." Chen Luo remarked, looking at the plate left behind by Ganyu as she left.

Let's give her more food next time.

As for where Ganyu went? Of course, she went back to work overtime.

The Liyue Qixing are truly old-timers.

"..." The little fox tilted its head and then shook it.

The little fox doesn't want to eat Qingxin.

This stuff doesn't taste good at all; it's very bitter.

Chapter 507 Yun Lian'er: Chen Luo, which of us is the S-rank mage?

After forcibly carrying the little fox back to the bar, Chen Luo immediately served her a plate of fried tofu to win back her heart. Chen Luo didn't know why she liked Qingxin, so she was thinking about whether to make her a plate of fried tofu with Qingxin flavor.

But what kind of strange dish is this Qingxin fried tofu?

"Chen Luo, Chen Luo!" After inviting Yakumo Ran to sit down and having Raven serve her a deluxe version of fried tofu, someone barged into the bar.

"Yakumo Yukari, you're here. Where's Yuyuko? Don't you two usually appear at the same time?" Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Yakumo Yukari who called him.

Chen Luo thought someone was looking for him because it was urgent.

"The problem isn't Yuyuko, she'll be here soon. The problem is, is Patchouli in the bar?" Yakumo Yukari said, glancing around.

"On the second floor, what's wrong?"

"You're asking what happened? Couldn't you have just let Patchouli leave a note for her dear best friend when she went into the bar? Now she's come to my house." Yakumo Yukari tapped her fingers on the table as she spoke.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Patchouli is also someone who, in other people's minds, never leaves the house, right? Her disappearance is indeed a problem." Chen Luo suddenly realized after hearing Yakumo Yukari's words.

For Patchouli, who hadn't left her home for 10 years, suddenly disappearing was indeed a serious matter, so it's not unacceptable that Patchouli's best friend Remilia was worried.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and inform her, at least let her go home and tell Remilia." Chen Luo said as he walked out of the bar and headed up to the second floor.

Patchouli and Yun Lian'er went to the second floor to find a quieter place to discuss magic. The decorations on the second floor were not much different from those on the first floor. The only slightly eerie thing was that there were hardly any customers there.

There's still room on the first floor, so the second floor has become the place for people who need to conduct transactions or want to find peace and quiet.

Otherwise, no one would normally come here.

"MQ? Is MQ there?" Chen Luo went up to the second floor and looked around before finding the two in an extremely eerie corner.

"Why do you all like to sit in the corner? Is it going to kill you to sit in the middle or something?" Chen Luo sighed, looking at where the other person was sitting.

I don't know if there's something wrong with the people who come to this bar, but apart from those who come here specifically to eat and drink, the originally unpopular corner of the bar has become the most popular place.

Even when Chen Luo is discussing things with others, he prefers to find a corner.

"What's wrong? Is there something you need? Also, my name isn't MQ," Patchouli said with a stern face.

"Don't worry about the details. I thought someone as knowledgeable and well-informed as you, Seven Luminaries Sage, would understand that a name is just a label. I didn't expect you to value these empty titles so much. Anyway, just know that I'm calling you. The reason I'm here is to ask you to go home. Your imposing vampire princess is looking for you," Chen Luo said.

"... I forgot to tell Koakuma. I'll go back first and be right back," Patchouli said Remi, turning to Yun Lian'er.

"Speaking of which, I have to commend the convenience of your bar. You can interact with visitors from other worlds without leaving the premises. It's so convenient," Patchouli said to Chen Luo as she stood up.

For Patchouli, a complete shut-in, getting her to leave the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, let alone leave the underground library, to go to the main hall for a meal would be an extremely difficult task.

But bars are different. If Patchouli isn't afraid of her room being seen, the first thing she can do when she wakes up in the morning is to push open the door and walk into a bar.

It can be said to be a blessing for lazy people and homebodies.

"Oh, right, remember to bring me a few books about dolls when you come," Chen Luo said, watching Patchouli walk downstairs.

"I know. Seriously, can't even 2000 magic books keep you quiet for a little while longer?" Patchouli complained in a low voice.

Do you know how heavy a few magic books are for a frail witch?

No, you don't know, you just want to read books.

"How did your conversation with MQ go?" After Patchouli came downstairs, Chen Luo sat down in Patchouli's original seat and looked at Yun Lian'er.

"I benefited greatly. Although the magic systems of the two worlds are somewhat similar, they are not exactly the same. The advanced magic in our world tends to be high-powered and explosive, focusing on increasing one-time damage. However, although such magic also exists in the other world, the mainstream is more about how to more rationally combine and use elemental magic. At least that's how Patchouli is."

"The Seven Luminaries Magus, at least in terms of knowledge and understanding of magic, is indeed far superior to me," Yun Lian'er said.

"That's perfectly normal. After all, they've lived for over a hundred years. How could the gap between them be closed so easily?" Chen Luo said.

"Speaking of which, she did mention something to me: you read 2,000 magic books in half an hour. You never mentioned having such an amazing ability to me." Yun Lian'er leaned forward slightly, which, from a psychological perspective, was intended to create a sense of pressure.
