The golden reslime rubbing against the palm of Xia Yu's left hand looked very happy, its body as smooth as jelly twisting gently, while the purple reslime on his right hand looked a little shy, looking around. The small crystal-like ball on the little guy's head flickers brightly and dimly, and a tingling sensation gently stimulates the palm of his right hand, but it feels very comfortable like a shock massage.

He placed the golden thunder ball on his shoulders, which was very fast to adapt to. The little guy who looked quite familiar with him immediately approached him after seeing the wind ball. 'Bah! 'It was like two flints colliding together, and the lightning flashed between the little ones. It frightened the two little ones and quickly separated them. It also caused King Ruotuo to glance at it a few more times.

Is this...an elemental reaction?Xia Yu, who turned his head sideways, quickly checked the condition of the two frightened little guys. After finding that there was nothing serious, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that when you bring this little guy home, you must be careful not to let it touch the fire. Otherwise, the collision of thunder and fire will be like throwing an electrical appliance running at full power directly into a burning fire. ...We are both Lei Tuantuan, but why are their personalities so different despite their different colors?Xia Yu's attention returned to the purple slime with the small orb on his right hand that flickered on and off.

The little guy was secretly looking at himself with his big round eyes. It seemed that he was aware of his gaze towards it, and the purple little guy began to tremble slightly again.

Is this a bit...recognizable?It doesn't seem right. If he had accepted his life, this thunder ball probably wouldn't have jumped into his hand.Carefully recalling the details of the situation when he saw this thunder ball just now, Xia Yu seemed to have discovered the reason why the little guy became like this.

The purple thunder ball only started to tremble when it separated the two little guys that jumped on the palm of its hand. In other words, this purple little guy seemed more nervous after being separated from his companions than recognizing the stranger. got up.

Otherwise, give it a try?After signaling the wind ball to float towards Ruotuo Dragon King's right shoulder, Xia Yu placed the purple ball next to the golden little guy.Just as expected, the purple slime that approached its companion began to sway slightly from side to side, its round body trembling slightly as if it was flapping a small purple balloon filled with water.

Sure enough, it was because of nervousness. Xia Yu was relieved that the little guy's problem was solved.It's on his shoulders... there are two round elements lying on each shoulder, occupying the space on his shoulders.After returning to Liyue Port in this way, even if there is no big guy like the ruin hunter around, he will definitely attract the attention of passers-by.

But what are these two slimes doing when they discharge electricity into the water?Could it be that he is really electrofishing?

Since he has raised a lot of slimes at home, Xia Yu has a good enough understanding of slimes with the help of Sugar and Abedo.Slime, an elemental creature composed purely of corresponding elements, generally does not need to eat unless it is curious. As long as it stays in a nearby area with abundant corresponding elements, slime can get a good growth environment.

Moreover, even if these little guys want to try some food under special circumstances, they rarely use the elemental energy in the surrounding air to capture the food.Under normal circumstances, Ray Slime would not be able to directly energize the water like he did today.

"What are you two little guys doing by discharging electricity into the water?" Xia Yu, who was trying to communicate with the two little guys, found that the two little guys began to sway from side to side again, excited and narrowed into (><>

'There's something! ''Good stuff from Bilibili! 'The information passed by the two little guys aroused Xia Yu's curiosity. What can arouse Lei Slime's interest must be items with thunder attributes, but what in this pond filled with water elements has thunder attributes?

It's quite interesting to switch from enjoying the scenery to treasure hunting.Xia Yu, who was interested, came to the water pool and then began to think.

If a large object with thunder element were to fall into the pond with green water like this, it would be discovered at a glance. But at the moment, except for a few lotus flowers and lotus leaves, there is nothing on the beach. There were only two or three hairy crabs faintly visible in the mud at the bottom, and there were no traces of valuables.

In other words, what fell into the pond should be a small object. Since it can attract the attention of Ray Slime, it means that this object must contain thunder elements.As long as you open your elemental vision, you should be able to gain something.

After opening his elemental vision, Xia Yu carefully observed the blue water pool in his elemental vision. In the gentle flow of water elements, there was indeed a purple and dark red sheen on the side of the pond.

In other words, the item you are looking for should be there!He jogged to the edge of the pool and dug up the sand on the surface, and the purple light became more and more obvious in the elemental vision.Within a few seconds, a delicate trigger finger appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

The fingertips made of gold are inlaid with a transparent shell as beautiful as diamonds. Two extremely tiny purple crystals are fixed in the crystal clear cut diamonds by some exquisite technique.

The entire ring reflects an extremely warm glow under the sunlight.The bottom of the wrench looks like a large "Zhu" character stamped with a steel seal, which seems to indicate the identity of the owner of the wrench.

"Oh? The concept of this finger ring is quite clever." After observing the finger ring, Ruotuo Dragon King seemed to be a little more interested. After seeing Xia Yu's eyes turned to him, Ruotuo Dragon King continued to introduce: "This is a ring made of A ring composed of gold, candle-grade night stone and electric crystal.”

"The softer gold is used as the base to facilitate the processing of jewelry. Two extremely tiny electrical crystals should have been inlaid inside the candle-grade Yebo stone by professional alchemists. The magic circle carved on the Yebo stone starts from It has the function of trapping the energy of the tourmaline and preventing it from leaking out."

"That is to say, as long as there is a little light to make the candle-level night stone shine, the extremely fine fire element energy flowing inside will stimulate the release of electrical crystal energy. However, due to the protection of the magic circle, the thunder element is the most It will only flow within the magic circle, and with the fire element being so rare that it is almost negligible, it will completely light up the polished surface of the Yebo stone."

"When the fire element in the ring is completely dissipated, the thunder element whose energy is trapped in the electrical crystal that cannot be released in the magic circle will flow back into the empty electrical crystal..."

It sounds so complicated...

Since there is almost no research on jewelry such as ring rings, from Ruoduolongwang's series of analyzes of various gemstones on the ring to the summary of functions, Xia Yu only heard the key meaning of this ring - this ring is very expensive. .

But if such a precious ring ring was lost, why didn't the owner search for its traces?

After returning to Liyue Port, give this thing to Keqing. With her upright character, she will not keep such a thing privately.Coupled with the big red mark on it, she, as the Seven Stars of Liyue, must be familiar with the wealthy family surnamed Zhu in Liyue Port.

It’s better to return to Liyue Port now.Just when Xia Yu made up his mind, his growling stomach reminded Xia Yu that it was time to eat.

It seemed that it was time to go back. Since this trip was just for sightseeing and the time had been estimated, Xia Yu did not bring a backpack of tableware and seasonings with him on this trip as usual.After flying into the air on the ruins guard, Xia Yu suddenly remembered.

I seem to have seen it during the Immortal Presentation Ceremony when I was identifying the balm that Emperor Yanwang wanted. There are several pretty good inns near the statue of the Seven Heavens of the Rock God, although they are not as good as the Wangshu Inn on the towering giant tree in Dihuazhou. , but the scale is pretty good.

Why not try it at noon and see what kind of food this inn on the road outside Liyue Port can make.After riding on the shoulders of the ruin hunter, Xia Yu said: "AX-86, proceeding gently towards the east." Looking at the gradually shrinking building complex, Xia Yu's heart was full of expectations.

————————————————————————

Astrologis Mona Megistus, a professional and mysterious astrologer.Recently, she received an important task in her life: to retrieve a top-secret treasure chest for her master, an old and powerful sorceress, that was stored decades ago in the hands of an old friend who was a great enemy in astrology.

Just how top-secret are the items in this treasure chest?Mona still vividly remembers her master’s special instructions when she left:

"If you dare to pry into the contents of the box, then you can do whatever you want." Although the master still had a smile on his face when he told this sentence, there was something hidden behind the narrowed eyes and the smileless face. Even after arriving at Liyue Port by boat, Mona still couldn't forget the murderous intention emanating from her master.

It must be a very precious and extremely private item, right?According to what the master said before leaving, this friend and foe was an all-rounder who was proficient in all knowledge, and her box was currently being stored in the hands of this old friend's daughter in Mondstadt.

What is the greatest characteristic of astrology?That is the ability to judge lies brought about by its foreknowledge of things.In the face of astrology, almost all lies will reveal the essence they want to hide.In other words, after getting the items requested by the master, if you open it and check it out of curiosity, you will not be able to make a deal when you return to the master.

But, is it okay as long as you don’t look at it?The knowledge of astrology is profound and complex. The things that can be studied are enough to make you spend a lifetime pursuing them. They are just items stored in a box, so don’t look at them!

This is the transit point to Mondstadt. Prices in Liyue are so expensive!If you were to ask Mona what is her most troubled question?Mona would definitely answer without hesitation - Maura.

Originally, various items needed for astrology cost a lot of money. After arriving in Liyue, the daily consumption level also increased by nearly three times!

The amount of mola she carried has also bottomed out... Although Mona does some odd jobs and does fortune-telling to supplement the number of mola in her pocket, her meager income is really only enough to satisfy her hunger.Fortunately, there is Boss Zhu who has opened an inn in the suburbs north of Liyue Port. The various things in Boss Zhu's shop are of high quality and low price, and at the same time, he does not care too much about Maura's income like other bosses.

So, when they arrived in Liyue, Boss Zhu's inn became Mona's stronghold.As for why she didn’t leave Liyue alone and embark on the road to Mondstadt, Mona just wanted to say...

If it weren't for the astrological prediction that he would meet two noble people, and if he followed these two noble people to Mondstadt, it would be extremely easy to find the daughter of his master's astrological rival, he would have set off for Mondstadt long ago!

"Boss Zhu, bring me some plain noodles, a big one." After ordering, Mona sat on the bench, holding her chin in one hand and looking up at the stars. The girl's eyes were full of complicated expressions.

Obviously his astrology is so accurate, why can't some businessmen in Liyue Port accept what they want to find out about?

What is astrology about?That is of course truth and reality.Compared to those liars who swagger and deceive, what is the use of saying a lot of beautiful words on the surface is that what you tell the truth in exchange for is the cold eyes of those who need divination. It has become an established fact.But these people just refuse to believe it. Maybe this is life...

In any case, if you want to be a noble astrologer and imitate those magicians and say some flattering false divination, it is impossible for you to do these things!After spitting softly, Mona looked at Boss Zhu who looked a little sad, and then said: "Don't worry, Boss Zhu, your golden night stone ring will be returned to you by a noble person in the near future. Just Just prepare evidence that proves that the wrench is yours."

"Is that so...Thank you for your kind words, Miss Mona." Boss Zhu answered with a smile, which made Mona feel indescribably aggrieved. She seemed to be looked down upon by the other party. .

However, there is no need to refute this kind of thing at all. Just wait for a while, and the established facts will make Boss Zhu understand what the honor of a professional astrologer is!

Wow...this somenoodles is really too bland...but it's still much better than eating it hungry.Mona, who was eating noodles, was suddenly attracted by the rumble from the sky.

The sound of metal parts and machinery is that of a ruin hunter!

Oops!Mona, who took out her magical weapon, immediately raised her head and looked at the position where the sound came from in the sky. After seeing the slowly descending ruin hunter and the man who came down from the hunter's shoulders with several slimes and a Mona was stunned after seeing a tall male who had never seen a spherical creature before.

The relic hunter was actually controlled by humans, and he didn't have the Eye of God yet. How could this be possible!

Chapter 1: Inheriting the family business, Boss Zhu

Delicious food does not necessarily have to come from the chefs of high-end restaurants. There are also countless delicacies from small restaurants in the streets. Although there are not too many people in this inn, it can only be judged by the professional equipment used by the owner to store ingredients. Look, the temperature-controlled storage room of the ice element array used in the small inn is not inferior to the kitchen of Ningguang Jade Pavilion.

There was also a girl wearing a blue witch hat who was eating plain noodles with clear soup. Although the food was very simple, the green leafy vegetables in it looked extremely fresh.The owner of this inn at least paid attention to the food. Xia Yu, who had made up his mind, also found an empty seat and sat down.

Perhaps because the business in the store is really not that good, among the two men and one woman standing in the courtyard of the inn, there is a man in his thirties who is wearing an exquisite vermilion Tang suit and a brown sleeveless short coat. Welcomed him personally.Judging from the valuable clothing, this person must be the owner of the store.

"This guest, welcome to my inn. Are you staying or dining?" The boss greeted Xia Yu with a smile. He did not give any reaction to the slimes and relic hunters brought by Xia Yu, and kept a calm attitude. As if he was used to big things.

This boss... doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.Although he was a little curious about the identity of the boss, his stomach that had begun to growl was like an alarm bell, urging Xia Yu to start ordering. "For lunch, do you have any special snacks to recommend?" Xia Yu asked the shop owner and found that the shop owner, who originally seemed to be worried about something, showed a confident smile.

"Are there any special snacks? Then you must come and see the mola meat made in our store." He motioned to Xia Yu to follow him to the stove set up in the open space. The owner of the store who opened the lid of the pot looked puzzled. Full of confidence. "The Mora Pork Pancakes in our shop are the best even if they are sold in Liyue Port."

Thick golden-yellow marinated oil floats on the surface of the large pot of marinade. The various fat and lean meats in the large pot have reached the point of softness under the infiltration of low heat.With its brownish-red color, fragrant aroma, and the fragrantly baked Baiji biscuits, the Roujiamo looked so good that Xia Yu immediately decided on it.

"That's it! Give me four Mora patties, with one or two stir-fry dishes that you are best at, and finally... a bowl of tea." After ordering the food, Xia Yu opened his pocket and put the money in his pocket. The required mola was taken out.

In addition, the price of five thousand molas for rice is not cheap. Not to mention the molas he brought as travel expenses, Dadalia alone paid him 3000 million molas for the ten ruins guards.In other words, as long as you don't spend money recklessly, this is more than enough money to renovate your own stall after returning to Mondstadt.

"Okay~ I'll let someone prepare it now!" After greeting the two young men and women who should be inn employees and starting to get busy, a small pot of fragrant tea was brought to his table by the female waiter first.

Just asking about this refreshing and slightly bitter smell can make people feel much calmer. Xia Yu, who poured out a small cup of tea and sipped it slowly, turned his attention to the young man who began to prepare the ingredients.

The first is the Mora Roujiamo that makes people drool just by looking at it.The meat that has been slowly simmered in the marinade until soft and tender does not need to be sliced ​​at all. The pieces of meat that are slightly trembling on the cutting board are just pressed lightly with the blade of the knife and they fall apart into long and thin pieces of meat. Silk.

The fragrant braised oil is thinly wrapped on the surface of the inner layer of brown-red braised pork. After a few rough chops to divide the shredded meat, all the raw materials, including the oil, water and meat, are stuffed into the open Baiji. Mozhong.

"Here comes the guest. Your four portions of Qiankun Molla Roujiamo, stir-fried buns and rice will be brought to you right away." The young man who had placed the snacks quickly ran towards the inn kitchen.

Xia Yu took the round Ruotu Dragon King off his shoulders and placed it on the dining table. Xia Yu, who had originally planned to let Ruotuo Dragon King eat by himself, found that it seemed that the plump Ruotuo Dragon King had shrunk too much because he had shrunk too much. The Dragon King couldn't touch the food with his short limbs.

This is even more embarrassing...

Taking the Qiankun Molla Roujiamo and bringing it to Ruotuo Dragon King's mouth, after solving Ruotuo Dragon King's eating problem, Xia Yu, who breathed a sigh of relief, found that the girl at the next table who ordered a large bowl of plain noodles secretly secretly Glancing towards himself.

Although the girl's movements were extremely subtle, Xia Yu still caught her face full of envy.

There shouldn't be any problem with this Morra pork as a topping for noodles, so why doesn't she have some?

————————————————————————

It looks delicious...Xia Yu who eats meat makes Mona feel extremely envious.

This guy who came to the store with slimes and guards was really excited, and he even chose to sit next to him.How can I bear this?

The tangy aroma of meat made the noodles that originally felt very chewy and the soup base completely lose their flavor... And he ate it himself, so why did the one he brought with him look like a young rock? The dragon lizard’s monster pets will also taste it together!

Everyone looked at the young rock dragon lizard. He had raised it so fat that it turned into a round ball and was almost unrecognizable!This is clearly abusing it!In this way, how can this young rock dragon lizard move around on its own in the future?

If it weren't for the fact that Maura was really not enough...how could I have suffered these grievances?

A bowl of rice, two portions of stir-fry, and a meat bun. After tasting his own snacks and dishes, Xia Yu couldn't help but nodded.Just as I expected, the food in this inn tastes pretty good.

There is also the tea with a faint bitter taste in the fragrance. The tea leaves are actually high-quality green tea roasted at the tender tips. The fragrance at the entrance makes Xia Yu sure. Every portion of tea looks like the boss has not repeated it. utilization.

Calculating it this way, the price of tea for one thousand molars is really not expensive, and it even makes me a little cheaper. "Boss, do you know where this tea is sold?" Xia Yu greeted the shop owner and was extremely curious.It is definitely a pleasure to buy some tea like this and take it back to Mondstadt to taste it yourself.

"I'm sorry...the tea garden that produces these tea leaves has been booked by my family, and I just used the amount I deserved to get some from it to open a store..." The embarrassed shop owner scratched his head and laughed. Xia Yu's appearance made Xia Yu feel a little regretful and confused at the same time.

Is it really possible for an owner who opens an inn in a not-so-good location in Liyue to be able to contract the top-quality tea in the entire tea garden area? Such financial requirements can be achieved?

As if aware of Xia Yu's confused eyes, the innkeeper looked a little embarrassed. After glancing at Mona, who was still mumbling, several times, the innkeeper finally made up his mind and said, "I'll tell you the truth." , I am actually from the Zhu family in Liyue Port, and my family is engaged in jade mine development-related business. I have the operating rights to three rich mines."

"It's just that... people always have a lot of energy when they are young. When I was in my 20s, I didn't want to rush to inherit the family business and enter that boring life, so I chose to open a restaurant here. Inn."

"It's only now that I realized how naive I was back then. The inn management was not that big of a deal. The main thing was my location selection..." Boss Zhu looked extremely annoyed when he mentioned the past events. "Why did I choose this inn in front of Wangshu Inn, where I can reach Liyue Port directly in a short half-day walk... I have been occupying this inn for such a long time, and it's time to come to an end. when."

"So in a few months, if the business of this inn is still not good, I plan to sell it and go back to inherit the family business."

What?Do you have three jade mines at home?Forced to inherit the family business?

Boss Zhu suddenly changed the topic 180 degrees, which short-circuited Xia Yu's mind. "Um...are you really kidding?" Xia Yu asked the store owner and found that the other party shook his head decisively.

"I also know that this identity will definitely bring me great danger, but since Qianyan Army must have received funding from my parents, the security in this area is actually pretty good near my inn."

When talking about this, Boss Zhu's eyes turned to Mona, who was looking at the table with wide eyes, and then said with a smile: "And the astrologer lady over there told me that upon seeing your arrival It can bring me good luck, so I tell your guests these things."

wrong!Although I told you that revealing some truth when you meet him will bring you good luck, I don't mean to ask you to recall the past and shake off your old record!Relying on astrology's most basic ability to identify lies, Mona instantly understood that what this plain-looking innkeeper told was all the truth.

"If you don't believe it, look at these..." He took out four exquisite rings from his pocket and placed them on the table. Boss Zhu continued: "These are my parents who secretly asked the servant to deliver them to me in the store because they were afraid that I would suffer hardship." The ring inside was said to be a betrothal gift for my daughter-in-law... After all these years, I have probably received hundreds of such rings."

Good guy!Since he heard Zhongli mention a few words about the appraisal methods of jade, jewelry and other items during the ceremony, Xia Yu could see the elegance of these rings. These were one-in-a-million treasures.There is no problem in selling a single piece for several million to tens of millions.

As for whether the jade stones on these exquisite rings were real or fake, Xia Yu didn't have to worry. He was accompanied by Dragon King Ruotuo, the person who knew the most about rocks.As long as this Boss Zhu is a liar who talks a lot, Dragon King Ruotuo will definitely remind himself that the rings he took out are fake.

However...

'It's all true, and the texture of these jade stones is quite good. 'The reminder from Ruotuo Dragon King made Xia Yu's jaw drop to the ground.I thought the innkeeper was bragging when he had time, but I didn’t expect that what he said was all the truth!

There is also the same mark with Zhu characters. Could it be that the golden ring ring he just picked up in Luhuachi also belongs to this Boss Zhu?

"Boss Zhu, have you lost any items like these rings and jewelry recently?" Xia Yu asked Boss Zhu and found that the other person became excited after thinking for a while.

"These past few days? Yes, yes! In the past two days, there was indeed a ring ring with a gold base wrapped with processed candle-grade nighttime stone that was inadvertently taken away by a bird that loves light." The person who mentioned this matter Boss Zhu looked a little annoyed.

"Actually, this golden wrench is only a mid-level collection for me. The main reason is that its function is particularly convenient. Just tap the surface of the night stone gently, and it will last for a while with a hint of orange. The purple light can be used to illuminate the keyhole of the door lock when you go home at night, and you can open the door directly without using your hands to lift a lamp. It is much more convenient than lighting a lamp."

This... isn't this the ancient wealthy version of a hand-cranked flashlight?No matter how Xia Yu guessed, he could not have expected that the magic circle and electrical crystal in the exquisitely designed ring he picked up in Luhuachi were actually used for lighting.

There was no need to doubt Boss Zhu. He had never mentioned that what he lost was a gold ring, but Boss Zhu not only pointed out that what he lost was a ring, but also explained its function in detail.

Coupled with the fact that the jewelry he took out had exactly the same marks... "Boss Zhu, this is the ring I picked up just now when I was looking at the scenery at Luhuachi. See if it is this one." Xia Yu took it from his pocket. He took out the golden wrench finger and handed it to Boss Zhu's hand.

"Yes, that's right, that's it!" Boss Zhu, who shouted loudly, looked extremely excited. After carefully putting away the ring, Boss Zhu, who still couldn't calm down, took out a jewel inlaid with dark green jade. The ring was thrust into Xia Yu's hand. "Thank you for bringing it back for me. This jade ring is my thank you gift!"

"No, no, no, this is too precious..."

"Take it! I have more than a dozen rings like this in my collection. It's really okay to give you one to express my gratitude." Boss Zhu, who interrupted Xia Yu's words, came without leaving Xia Yu a chance to refute. Mona, who was completely petrified, came forward.

"Master of astrology, thank you for your advice." He took out [-] Mora gold coins from the Northland Bank from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of Mona, who was still offline. She looked at the half eaten by Mona. With a plain face, Boss Zhu’s face showed a bit of confusion.

"Could it be...Master, are you a vegetarian?"

Chapter 1 Mona, Astrology and the Toy Salesman in the Winter Solstice Kingdom

What's vegetarian?How is it possible to only eat vegetarian food?Boss Zhu's words were like a sharp blade piercing Mona's heart. Although the girl wanted to refute loudly, she looked at her shriveled wallet and then at the smiling Boss Zhu who handed it to her. The cruel reality finally made Mona hold back all the words she said.

"Ahem! It's nothing, I just want to eat some light food recently..." Mona, who was looking for a reason, felt extremely aggrieved. Looking at the [-] Mora she got, the girl began to get entangled with other things.

As an astrologer, the water astrology technique I learned from my teacher is my best skill. With the eye of the water attribute god that my master gave me as a teaching tool and was successfully activated, I have spent more money on research than others. Astrologers can save a lot.

But the laboratory for astrology requires too much equipment, including crystal balls for divination, various equipment for observing the sky, and various props for use... I will one day be able to When I set out to build my own astrology laboratory, the [-] molas in my hand seemed to be able to be used to improve my own food, but if invested in the future laboratory, this little money would really be just a drop in the bucket.
