Zhongli slightly turned his head, habitually stroking his chin with his fingers as he made a thoughtful hum.
"Hmm..."
After pondering for a moment, Zhongli looked at Paimon and solemnly analyzed the matter in his uniquely steady, magnetic voice.
"2.99 million..."
"At first glance, it doesn't seem like much."
Zhongli paused, seemingly engaged in some profound philosophical and economic contemplation.
"But according to universal reason, it is indeed ten thousand less than three million."
Upon hearing this,
Paimon instantly bristled, stomping her tiny feet in midair.
"What?! It's not your money being spent, of course you think it's nothing!"
Paimon crossed her arms, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Though she had not known Zhongli for long, she had come to understand him.
He was completely unreliable!
And he loved pretending to be rich!
Despite being unable to produce even a single Mora, he always liked to say...
The scene switched faster, like a revolving lantern, showing Zhongli's daily "spending" habits in Liyue Harbor.
In front of a flower shop.
The blonde girl pointed at several pots of vibrant Hibiscus Flowers and asked Zhongli,
"Zhongli, what do you think of these three Hibiscus Flowers?"
Zhongli swept his gaze over them, then told the shopkeeper without hesitation,
"If you ask me, the answer is simple. Boss, I'll take them all."
"Huh, all of them??"
Beside an antique stall, the owner enthusiastically promoted his "antiques." Zhongli picked one up with great interest and examined it, then spoke again a moment later.
"Boss, I'll take them all."
Paimon beside him held her forehead, the corner of her eye twitching.
"No way, again?"
At a pastry shop, faced with a dazzling assortment of desserts, Zhongli remained as calm as ever.
"Hmm, one of each of these... no, wrap them all up."
The Sentient Beings of Douluo Continent were somewhat dumbfounded.
When Zhongli had trouble choosing what to buy, he simply waved his hand and said, "I'll take them all." There did not seem to be anything wrong with that, did there?
Zhongli was Morax, after all. He possessed the authority to mint currency, and Mora was inexhaustible!
Could this count as a Famous Scene?
Then, as the scenes continued changing, a subtle yet amusing pattern gradually became clear.
When paying for the flowers, the blonde girl helplessly took out her purse.
When paying for the antiques, it was someone named Dada Duck...
The orange-haired young man, Tartaglia, handed over the Mora with a bright smile, though the slight twitch at the corner of his eye was hard to miss.
After the pastries were packed, Zhongli naturally turned to look at the blonde girl and Paimon.
"Hmm~ Did you bring any money?"
Paimon's voice rang out again, full of helplessness and accusation.
"No way, Zhongli, you didn't bring money again?"
"This is ridiculous! How has someone like you not starved to death yet?!"
The Sky Screen seemed to feel that the heat was not enough, so it thoughtfully played a soul-searching question from Paimon's heart.
"So... why would Morax lack Mora?"
Before Zhongli could say anything, Paimon clenched her right hand into a fist and slammed it into her left palm.
"I get it!"
"You never look at prices when you spend money because you're not used to looking at prices!"
"After becoming human, you also weren't used to being unable to create Mora whenever you wanted."
"That's why you became a social good-for-nothing who freeloads everywhere and makes other people pay the bill..."
The image froze. Several eye-catching words, carrying a touch of comedic effect, appeared over Zhongli's unruffled profile.
[Social Good-for-Nothing!!!]
Rumble!
The entire Douluo Continent seemed to have been frozen in place at that moment.
Then, an even more chaotic uproar erupted than when they had learned that God loves the world is a curse.
Shrek Academy.
"Pfft..."
Ma Hongjun sprayed out a mouthful of water, the grin on his face nearly reaching his ears.
"What the hell is this social good-for-nothing!"
"What the hell, Morax doesn't have Mora!"
That was right, why did Morax not have Mora?
The wealthiest god somehow could not even pull out a single Mora. It was truly hard to hold back.
"The thoughts of a god are not something we can fathom."
Yu Xiaogang stopped writing, the corner of his eye twitching slightly.
He did not understand Zhongli's behavior.
He had clearly been recording the "daily life" of the Rock Demon God, Morax.
But would future generations really appreciate this kind of "daily life"?
They would probably viciously criticize him, the Grandmaster, instead.
"You are a dignified Demon God! Why do you have such a Famous Scene?!"
Yu Xiaogang could not hold back any longer and complained.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had left with Tang Hao and were not at Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang's hopes of becoming famous through Tang San had been shattered halfway.
At present, he could only place his hopes in different baskets.
The Rock Demon God—Morax.
He would record everything about this Demon God for future generations to observe.
One day, the name Yu Xiaogang would be passed down through the ages.
Yu Xiaogang lowered his head to look at his notes, and could not help frowning.
Hard to hold back...
[Famous Scene TOP8 review complete.]
[Reward: Summon the most missed "person."]
"???"
The reward given by the Sky Screen made the Sentient Beings look at one another.
"Summon the most missed 'person'?"
Could the Sky Screen even revive those who had already died?
Once that thought appeared in their hearts,
The entire Douluo Continent erupted once more!
The "Famous Scene" ranking was not entirely useless after all!
Zhongli Mansion.
Zhongli's calm expression abruptly changed.
He nearly instinctively rose to his feet and stared fixedly at the Sky Screen.
"Could my arrival have been caused by this Sky Screen?"
The Sky Screen could summon the "person" he missed most to Douluo Continent.
The Sky Screen could also transport him from Teyvat Continent to Douluo Continent.
Zhongli had always been confused and puzzled about this crossing between worlds.
He had only recently Abdicated Godhood and had been traveling around, looking at the world and reminiscing about the past.
Then, just like that, he had suddenly crossed over to the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.
"You brought me here. What exactly is your purpose?"
Qian Renxue shuddered. In her eyes, Zhongli had not said anything.
He had merely stood up abruptly, unleashing an immensely powerful aura.
Though it was not directed at her, it still made it difficult for her to breathe.
"Who exactly is the person Morax misses most?"
"To make him react like this..."
"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 an aura?"
"Heh... men and their mouths!"
A raging storm churned in Qian Renxue's heart, but she did not show it.
She merely kept muttering to herself inwardly.
"Could the person he cares about most be that Dust Archon Hagintos, Guizhong?"
"Zhongli, Guizhong."
"Zhongli and Guizhong..."
Qian Renxue considered herself extremely intelligent. As a woman, her sixth sense could not possibly be wrong!
At that moment, in the center of Zhongli Residence's main hall,
a Teleportation Array appeared.
This Teleportation Array flickered with amber light. It was enormous, nearly enveloping the entire Zhongli Residence.
Zhongli: "..."
