The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"What?! A box costs me twenty-eight thousand?! Why don't you go and grab it?!"

"This...is the most expensive one you requested..."

"It can't be so expensive."

Chen Tianfeng rubbed his cheeks, looked at the funeral girl with a polite smile, and sighed: "I am just wishful thinking. Please get a better and more affordable box. Thank you."

He was just being shallow. He didn't expect an urn to have a price tag of tens of thousands of molars. He thought the most expensive one was a few thousand more. It's no wonder that he didn't understand it, so he confidently shouted for the most expensive one - normal people generally don't understand this.

He only has a little more than 20,000 molars in his body now, which is not enough to buy the best box.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The undertaker put away the urn that was said to be "precious wood, master craftsmanship, and embedded with precious stones" and took out a box made of some kind of golden brown wood.

"It is still a masterpiece of craftsmanship. It is carved from sandwood that is at least three hundred years old. It abandons useless jewelry and returns to a simple and elegant style. It is well received by the people of Liyue."

After reciting the advertisement, the funeral lady smiled with a perfect smile: "The sincere price is 9,300 molara. If you buy it now, you can also enjoy a discount and receive exquisite gifts."

"...I think your advertising slogan for the Hall of Rebirth is somewhat over the line."

Chen Tianfeng twitched the corner of his mouth and asked curiously: "How much is the discount? What kind of gift?"

“10% off discount, and a signed photo of our leader as a gift!”

The girl who arrived at unknown time had an eccentric smile. The blood plum marks under her eyes were particularly strange. Under the Qiankun Taigua hat were two gradually reddish-brown twin ponytails. She was wearing a waist-length black robe with patterns and a long hem. , wearing shorts, white socks and black shoes, which made her long, white and smooth legs even more attractive.

The seventy-seventh generation leader of the Rebirth Hall, Hu Tao.

Lively, cute, beautiful, with endless clever ideas, a popular character who loves limericks, and a famous hot character in the game.

Chen Tianfeng naturally recognized Hu Tao, so he calculated it carefully and said solemnly: "Ten percent off, that's eight thousand three hundred and seventy molas. Can you add another zero? Also, can the signed photo be discounted?"

The girl in front of me is the head of the Rebirth Hall with a great family. She is not an avatar who can be called "wife" in the game. Instead of thinking about all the messy things that are there and not, and getting useless autographed photos, it is better to be real. Try to save some mora.

The legacy of the brothers of the Silver Wings Treasure Thief Group was not easy to come by.

"oh?"

Hu Tao made a surprised nasal sound with a raised tone, looked Chen Tianfeng up and down, and rubbed his chin as if thinking seriously: "Of course you can wipe it off. The master of this hall has the final say, so just accept the guest guest eight thousand mola. But it's a discount..." ·I’m afraid this won’t work.”

The girl put her hands on her hips and raised her chin slightly: "Because this hall master really doesn't know how much money to discount. In my opinion, the signed photo of the seventy-seventh generation hall master of the Rebirth Hall, tsk tsk, is a priceless treasure."

"As expected of the contemporary master of the Rebirth Hall! It's so grand!"

Chen Tianfeng said he didn't want Mo La's kind words, and cupped his hands: "For a person like the Hall Master who is great now and will be even more great in the future, his autographed photo is naturally a priceless treasure. It cannot be exchanged for cash, so why not exchange the Hall Master for a gift, such as this The sachet that the lady has already taken out?”

Chen Tianfeng pointed at the funeral lady beside him. After Hutao appeared, the standard polite smile on this lady's face turned into a gentle helplessness.

"Okay, I'll save you the trouble of taking a picture now."

Hu Tao nodded and glanced at the jar Chen Tianfeng placed on the counter: "Want to help?"

"...Hmm." Chen Tianfeng said with a serious expression, "Thank you, Hall Master."

"My job."

Hu Tao waved his hand and made a seal. The altar lid lifted up without any wind, and the coarse cloth wrapping the ashes floated. A dozen red butterflies, as if condensed with firelights, flew from Hu Tao's fingertips to the ashes.

Chen Tianfeng's roughly made ashes experienced the second embrace of flames. In a trance, he seemed to see Yuan Mu's silly smile, saw him waving hello, and thanked Chen Tianfeng for sending him back to Liyue Port.

What a fool, but I will kill you... Chen Tianfeng pursed his lips and noticed that Yuan Mu had moved into his new home. The funeral girl closed the box and seemed to be mourning the deceased softly.

"It is said that my flame can allow people to see the last image of the deceased. What did the guest see?" Hu Tao took away the seal and looked at Chen Tianfeng with eyes with blood plum marks.

"...Saw a fool."

Chen Tianfeng rubbed his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and quickly looked at Hu Tao: "The last photo? Can the ashes be burned again?!"

"ah?"

"He also has a mother-in-law! His mother-in-law hasn't had time to see him for the last time!"

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Hu Tao shook his head, stretched out both hands, and said: "To be honest, it is very rare for a guest officer to see a photo of the deceased. The master of this hall has burned so many people. Counting the guest officers, only a few have succeeded. One palm count."

These words are a little scary...and since it is "a number with one palm", why do you have to stretch out two hands...Chen Tianfeng sighed: "I understand, thank you Hall Master."

"Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. It often happens that loved ones never see each other for the last time, so just look away." Hu Tao's expression was calm, as if he had already seen through life and death.

"Too."

My family is destined not to see me for the last time... Speaking of which, does [time travel] count as "death without a complete body" or "death without a human being"?

Chen Tianfeng retracted his thoughts, took out eight molas of the largest denomination from his wallet and lined them up on the counter. He hesitated: "How many molas are needed for the best funeral service in the Hall of Rebirth?"

"The guest officer's mora shouldn't be enough, right?" Hu Tao glanced at his wallet and advised: "Funerals are about the heart, not the more expensive, the better. There is no need to pursue these fancy things."

She still had something to say, the deceased was gone, and it would be better to leave these molas to the living... After all, the deceased did not want her to leave, which would make the lives of the living worse.

"It's just Maura. You can always find a way to make money." Chen Tianfeng was silent for a few seconds and said: "It's not easy for my brother when he is alive. He always wants to be famous when he dies, so he doesn't have to be looked down upon by others... ·I promised him.”

"The contract, it really shouldn't be broken."

Hu Tao glanced at him unexpectedly and nodded: "Okay, I will ask the guest officer who is the most knowledgeable and reliable in the hall to prepare the funeral and ensure that the guest officer's brother is sent away in a glorious manner."

"But you have to be mentally prepared. As a guest, I don't care about the price when preparing things, and I like to use the best things, so..."

Hu Tao rolled his eyes and smiled: "The number of molas that I have to prepare is not a small amount. Have you thought about where to make money?"

Chen Tianfeng guessed who Hutao was talking about: "..."

Yuan Mu, you are a fool who is blessed. This is Emperor Yan Wang who is personally preparing your funeral!

Mr. Zhongli, the guest of the Rebirth Hall, appears to be an "ordinary person" who is fastidious in everything, knowledgeable, and extraordinary in bearing, but in fact he is the God of Rocks in Liyue, the King of Rocks [Morax].

Mr. Zhongli is good at everything except that he never looks at the price when paying bills or asking people to pay bills. As long as it's something that catches his eye, he'll pay whatever the boss calls for. Occasionally, he'll quote a higher price and take it all in one go.

More importantly, Mr. Zhongli is not good at carrying money. All expenses are either helped by "friends" or reimbursed by the Gossip Hall.

"To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet." Chen Tianfeng took a breath: "But I think there will always be a way."

"How about this hall master give you an idea?"

"Speaking!"

"Go to the Adventurers Association to buy some [resin], and then go to the wilderness to look for the Flower of the Earth Line. It is said that if you successfully challenge it once, if you have enough [resin], Mora alone can get hundreds of thousands."

Hutao clasped Bai Shengsheng's fingers, as if calculating something: "It's just that the risk is too high, and I don't know how many adventurers have lost their lives. If the guest is going to go, for the sake of the guest being interesting, the hall master can I'll go there myself and collect the body for you."

The silver-white ancient trees and flowers connect the earth veins, and the energy contained in the resin can clear the channels of the earth veins and refine the substances stagnated in them.

The flower is the flower of the earth veins. Whenever the earth veins in the wilderness are silted up, a flower of the earth veins will grow on the ground. Activate the Leyline Flower and defeat the phantoms of various creatures recorded in the Leyline, and you can exchange resin for harvest.

Silver-white ancient trees exist in various secret realms in the Teyvat continent. You can also exchange resin for harvest by defeating the leyline phantom.

The harvest is often very rich, attracting countless adventurers, treasure stealing groups, knights, and travelers to challenge it.

It's just that these phantoms are difficult to deal with most of the time, and no one can predict what kind of phantom enemies will appear. As long as they are recorded by the earth's veins, they are likely to appear.

It is said that when a group of treasure thieves were challenging the Leyline Flower, they encountered a phantom who was also a treasure thief group. The group of people fought for a long time, and the last survivor suddenly realized that everyone present except him was actually a phantom.

This treasure-thief gang almost went crazy with fear, and he changed his mind from then on.

Fortunately, due to the rules, these phantoms will not stray too far from the Leyline Flower, giving challengers hope of escaping and surviving after discovering that they are outnumbered.

These are common sense for adventurers.

During the past few days of traveling, Chen Tianfeng used many half-true and half-false stories to get this knowledge from "Brother Lanyou", which consumed a lot of brain cells.

"No need, I still cherish my life."

Chen Tianfeng twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at Yuan Mu's new home, and then turned to Hu Tao: "Hall Master Hu, I want my brother to live in the Shengsheng Hall for a few days. How many molas will it cost?"

"Not a penny." Hu Tao crossed his arms, "This is a service included in the package, but Shengshengtang can wait for the guest for up to a month. If the guest has not returned by then, Shengshengtang will have to provide it to the guest according to normal specifications. 's brother was buried."

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Tianfeng clasped his fists and saluted again, then turned around and left the Hall of Rebirth without hesitation.

Hu Tao squinted her eyes and watched Chen Tianfeng leave. As the master of the Hall of Rebirth, she had long been able to see many things that ordinary people could not see.

For example, this guest...it's really interesting. The remaining soul does not resent the person who killed him, but is full of gratitude and blessings.

The story should be complex, but not new, and there is nothing new under the sun.

Hu Tao shook her head, looked at Yuan Mu's urn, and suddenly asked, "You won't follow him anymore?"

“···”

"Yes, you are almost completely gone. It's time to save some strength to say goodbye to your loved ones."

Hu Tao nodded, and tapped the box with her fingers: "Then have a good sleep, and you won't have to say a few words when saying goodbye."

The funeral girl on the side was not surprised.

"Zhongli...forget it, he is definitely not in the hall at this time. He is probably listening to the play at Heyu Tea House. Go call Mr. Zhongli back and tell him that the hall master has just negotiated a big deal!"

"Yes, Hall Master."
