Zhongli tilted his head slightly, his fingers habitually stroking his chin, emitting a thoughtful hum.

"Hmm..."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhongli looked at Paimon and, in his unique, steady, and magnetic voice, analyzed with utmost seriousness.

"Two million nine hundred ninety thousand..."

"At first glance, it doesn't seem like much."

Zhongli paused, as if engaged in some profound philosophical and economic deliberation.

"But in terms of universal reason, it is indeed ten thousand less than three million."

Hearing this.

Paimon instantly bristled, her small body stomping its feet in mid-air.

"What do you mean! It's not your money, so of course you don't think it's a big deal!"

Paimon crossed her arms, her expression full of displeasure.

Although she hadn't known Zhongli for long, she had come to understand him.

He was completely unreliable!

And he liked to "act rich"!

Even though he couldn't produce a single Mora, he always liked to say...

The scene switched faster, like a carousel, displaying Zhongli's "spending" routine in Liyue Harbor.

In front of the flower shop.

A blonde girl pointed at several pots of vibrant Hibiscus Flowers and asked Zhongli.

"Zhongli, what do you think of these three Hibiscus Flowers?"

Zhongli's gaze swept over them, and he unhesitatingly said to the shop owner.

"If you ask me, the answer is actually very simple. Boss, I'll take them all."

"Huh? Take them all??"

Beside an antique stall, the owner enthusiastically promoted his "antiques." Zhongli picked one up with great interest and examined it. After a moment, he spoke again.

"Boss, I'll take them all."

Paimon beside him held her forehead, her eye twitching.

"No way, again?"

At the pastry shop, facing a dazzling array of cakes, Zhongli remained calm.

"Hmm, I'll have one of each of these... No, just pack them all up."

The beings of the Douluo Continent watched, somewhat bewildered.

When Zhongli had trouble choosing what to buy, he'd wave his hand and say "I'll take it all." There didn't seem to be anything wrong with that, right?

Zhongli was Morax, who possessed the authority to mint currency and had infinite Mora!

Could this also be considered a "Famous Scene"?

Then, as the scenes continued to switch, a subtle, yet amusing pattern gradually became clear.

When paying for flowers, it was the blonde girl who reluctantly took out her coin purse.

When paying for antiques, it was an orange-haired youth named Tartaglia...

Tartaglia, with a hearty smile but a barely perceptible eye twitch, handed over the Mora.

After the pastry shop packed everything up, Zhongli naturally turned to the blonde girl and Paimon.

"Hmm~ Do you guys have any money?"

Paimon's voice rang out again, filled with helplessness and accusation.

"No way, Zhongli, you didn't bring any money again?"

"This is unbelievable! How are you not starving to death?!"

As if feeling the heat wasn't enough, the sky screen thoughtfully released a soul-searching question from Paimon's heart.

"So... why would Morax be short on Mora?"

Before Zhongli could say anything, Paimon clenched her right fist and hit her left hand.

"I get it!"

"You never look at the price when you buy things, it's because you're not used to looking at prices!"

"After becoming human, you're not used to a self that can't conjure Mora at will."

"That's why you've become a social outcast who eats and drinks for free everywhere and makes others pay..."

The screen froze, and several bold characters with a touch of comedic effect appeared on Zhongli's unfazed profile.

[Social Scum!!!]

BOOM!

The entire Douluo Continent seemed to hit the pause button at this moment.

Then, it erupted into a far more chaotic uproar than when the news that "God loves the world is a curse" broke.

Shrek Academy.

"Pfft..."

A mouthful of water sprayed from Ma Hongjun's mouth, the corners of his lips pulled back almost to his ears.

"God, what a social reject!"

"God, Morax has no Mora!"

Right, why would Morax have no Mora?

The richest god, yet he couldn't produce a single Mora, was truly hard to stomach.

"The thoughts of a god are not for us to guess."

Yu Xiaogang stopped recording, his eye corners twitching slightly.

He didn't understand Zhongli's behavior at all.

He was clearly recording the "daily life" of the Rock Demon God, Morax.

But would "daily life" like this truly resonate with future generations?

They would probably attack him, the Master, fiercely, right?

"My lord, you are a Demon God, why would you have such famous scenes!"

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but complain.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had left with Tang Hao and were not at Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's hope of becoming famous through Tang San had been dashed by half.

At this juncture, he could only put his hope into different baskets.

The Rock Demon GodMorax.

He would record everything about this Demon God for future generations to observe.

One day, Yu Xiaogang's name would be passed down through the ages.

Yu Xiaogang looked down at his notes and couldn't help but frown.

Hard to stomach...

[TOP 8 Famous Scenes Countdown Complete.]

[Reward: Summon the "person" you miss the most.]

"???"

The reward given by the Heavenly Screen left all living beings exchanging bewildered glances.

"Summon the 'person' you miss the most?"

Could the Heavenly Screen resurrect the dead?

With this thought in mind.

The entire Douluo Continent boiled over once more!

The "Famous Scenes" list wasn't entirely useless after all!

Zhongli's Residence.

Zhongli, who had a calm expression, suddenly changed his demeanor.

He stood up almost instinctively, staring intently at the Heavenly Screen.

"My arrival, could it be because of this Heavenly Screen?"

The Heavenly Screen could summon the "person" he missed the most to the Douluo Continent.

It could also transport him from the Teyvat Continent to the Douluo Continent.

Zhongli had always been rather confused and bewildered about this transmigration.

He had only recently abdicated his divine position and was traveling around, looking and reminiscing about the past.

Then, he had suddenly transmigrated outside Heaven Dou City.

"To transport me here, what is your true purpose?"

Qian Renxue trembled all over. In her eyes, Zhongli hadn't said anything.

He had merely stood up abruptly, and an extremely powerful aura erupted from him.

Even though it wasn't directed at her, it made her feel breathless.

"Who is Morax's most missed person?"

"To be able to cause such a fluctuation in him..."

"As expected, the more handsome a man is, the more he lies!"

"Dad said he would watch me grow up, but he…"

"Zhongli said he was just an ordinary person. Could an ordinary person unleash such power?"

"Heh… men's words!"

A storm raged in Qian Renxue's heart, but she didn't show it.

She just kept muttering to herself.

"The person he cares about most… could it be that Dust Demon God Hagintos, Guizhong?"

"Zhongli, Guizhong."

"Zhongli, Guizhong…"

Qian Renxue considered herself very intelligent, and her woman's intuition would never be wrong!

Just then, in the center of the main hall of Zhongli's mansion.

A teleportation array appeared.

This teleportation array flickered with amber light, and it was enormous, almost enveloping the entire mansion.

Zhongli: "……"
