"Excuse me... does that person look a lot like me?"

"Um……"

Catherine looked at it carefully for a moment, thought about the guest's face, and compared it with the girl in front of her.

Not at all like?

Not even hair color.

"Sorry, it doesn't look like you at all."

Although she was mentally prepared, Ying was still a little disappointed when she heard the words.

Take a long breath and calm yourself down as soon as possible:

"Then... is there anything special about that person? There should always be a reason for suddenly buying up several boxes of rough stones, right?"

Could it be someone like her who also discovered that rough stones have other uses?

Of course she is aware of her special features, and perhaps she can dig out more clues along this line.

"Is it a special performance, let me think about it."

Tapping the counter lightly with her fingertips, Catherine recalled the scene at that time.

Really want to say...

"It's complicated, doesn't it?"

"I don't understand..."

"It's as if I saw something shocking, and my eyes suddenly lost their highlight."

In order to show the scene at that time more realistically, the lively Miss Catherine tried to imitate it.

Roll your eyes first.

Well, that's weird, and besides, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the loss of highlights.

Stick out your tongue again.

Hey, what's even more strange!

Seeing that the essence of it could not be reproduced anyway, Catherine rubbed her face and chose to give up.

"Oh, right!"

"I remember that gentleman also said that this thing is very expensive in their hometown. If you want to buy so many boxes from him, it seems that you need to add more than 648 Mora after 0. I don't know how much it is. I can’t remember exactly, but in short, it takes a month’s worth of wages saved without eating or drinking.”

"So, he didn't know it was such a cheap thing until he came to Mond. Thinking about the wasted money he spent, that's why he felt complicated."

So she was cheated by a black-hearted businessman...

Seeing that the clue was cut off again, the two were a little discouraged.

But these words are not without meaning.

Ying thought about the information behind it.

In other words, it is very likely that only she and Paimon know that the rough stone contains energy that can help people increase their strength.

Just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for a while.

I have to explain, the good thing is that no one has discovered the usefulness of the rough stone for the time being, and they can take the opportunity to find out.

As for the bad aspects, if no one finds out, it means that there are no candidates to discuss with, and more information cannot be grasped. So, what is the price of rashly using this energy of unknown origin?

"If you really need this kind of stone, I suggest placing a purchase entrustment."

Seeing that the two of them remained silent for a long time, Miss Catherine continued to speak enthusiastically.

"There should still be some rough stones in the hands of the citizens. You can buy them at a higher price. I believe they will be very happy."

"Although basically no one hoards this thing, and the amount in everyone's hands is not too much, it will add up to a considerable amount."

"it is good……"

As soon as the words came to her lips, she wanted to agree without hesitation, but Yingmei stopped with embarrassment.

Although this simple and direct method was exactly what she wanted, there was an obvious problem at this time that she had to face squarely.

That is--

She has no money at all now!

After waking up, the girl's only source of income is the treasure chest she dug out from the wild.

It is said to be a treasure chest, but in fact there are no treasures in it at all, they are all carrots, cabbages and the like, and sometimes some scattered Mora can be picked up.

Don't think about getting rich after accidentally getting a treasure.

By the way, there are some accessories such as hourglass corsages, but she doesn't know what they are used for, so she didn't bring them with her.

Therefore, after a long time, she got used to it, and Mora was fine, at least she didn't need to work extra to earn money.

Soon Yingmei discovered a new problem——

Mora can't spend it in the wild.

Still not to continue to eat mushrooms.

Until I met Paimon, came to Mond City, saw modern civilization compared to the wilderness, and carefully confirmed that the Knights had food and accommodation;

She just used the money she saved to spend boldly, and the time is tonight.

Speaking of which, there were not many Mora picked up from opening the treasure chest, and after treating Paimon to a few meals, it was almost bottomed out.

But Yingmei didn't panic at all at the time. Before, she was forced to open treasure chests everywhere to survive. As for now, what does she need money for when she has nothing to worry about?

I just didn't expect to come back so soon.

I thought I could get rid of Mora's shackles completely and be a free and happy traveler from now on.

In the end, I still have to work...

Life is not easy, Yingmei sighs.

When you save enough money to buy rough stones, stop immediately!

Having made up her mind, Ying said with some coyness:

"Miss Catherine, is there any job that can make money?"

"I... don't know much..."

Having said that, the girl turned her head unnaturally, put her hands behind her waist, twisted and twisted her slender fingers.

There is no way, she wants to make money, but she doesn't really know what she can do.

Walked half a day in Mond tonight:

Selling food, no, only grilled mushrooms.

Selling all kinds of flowers and plants is not good. She is quite good at picking flowers in the wild.

As for tailoring, I don't even know how to do some manual work.

There was a place called Alchemy Platform where people came and went, but before that, she had never even heard of "Alchemy".

"Are you still worrying about making money with such strength?"

Catherine was also surprised.

Hey, girl, you can follow Fengmolong 1v1, have you been wandering in the wild for too long and haven't realized how scary you are?

but……

Isn't this a great time to increase your performance!

Waiting for him to fool her... ah no, win her over, this one is probably not even a S-level commission.

You must know that joining the association and officially becoming an adventurer are two different things.

Thinking of the elder sister who was in Liyue, but always surpassed her in terms of business, Miss Catherine of Mond City smiled happily, as if she saw a new star rising in the adventure world.

"Accept the commission, girl!"

Seeing the other party nodding in a daze, Catherine bent down and took out a small notebook from the counter, and pursued the victory.

"Let me help you find the right one..."

Escort the caravan, someone picked it up.

Someone picked up the Qiuqiu people's camp.

Exploring the ruins, someone still picked it up.

Someone even picked up the third party.

The smile froze, she patronized to attract people, completely forgetting that almost all the commissions had been swept away during this period.

Wait, there seems to be another one at the bottom of the box.

Don't get me wrong, this is literally the bottom of the box, because no one has asked about it for too long, and it seems that even the employer himself has forgotten about it, and it is still hanging alone in the association at this time.

The paper flipped rapidly and finally stopped on an item.

"Escort the employer to the statue of the Seven Heavens next to the "Land of the Wind". "

"What do you think of this? The reward is high. With your strength, it must be easy."

Ying's eyes lit up, and she walked all the way from the wilderness. She knew all too well the difficulty of the journey, and it was just a few people from Qiuqiu.

In addition, after a night of sneaking, I also have some understanding of the local prices;

Looking at it this way, making money seems to be a very easy thing.

"The address is next to the Knights. According to the employer, he is there every morning. You can get up early tomorrow to have a look."

"Then, if there is no problem, I will pick it up for you first.

"...Well, it's troublesome."

Seeing the other party's determined expression, Catherine showed a bright smile.

It became.

After a long time, when the two of them spent the last amount of Mora in their purses and bought the adventure crest that they had spent a long time selling, Miss Catherine smiled even wider.

"Ah, ah, it seems that the fatigue of the day has disappeared."

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, after a while, she belatedly knocked herself on the head.

Damn!

"I forgot to tell them that the purchase of rough stones is commissioned by the same person!"

"Oh, my memory has deteriorated after a busy day, let's talk about it when we meet later..."

……

By the time we returned to the Knights, it was already very late.

The office was brightly lit, and people kept running in and out. The two of them thought for a while and didn't bother the deputy chief.

A few passing knights greeted them, Ying and Paimon responded with a smile, walked up the stairs, and came to the residence on the third floor, the corridor was dark.

After closing the door, Paimon flung himself onto the bed, rubbing his little face on the pillow non-stop.

"Hey, I can finally lie on the bed and have a good sleep. I feel happy just thinking about it."

"Keep your voice down, everyone is asleep so late."

Ying changed into a nightgown, and her bare skin under the suspenders reflected an ivory-like luster in the light.

Speaking of which, this was also prepared by the Knights.

Signaling Paimon to lower her voice, the girl lay flat on the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover her slightly undulating chest, and wrapped herself tightly, leaving only her small head exposed.

"Ying, we seem to be the only ones living on the third floor, right?"

"It should be... go to bed quickly, we will go to see the commission tomorrow, and then follow Amber to investigate the temple."

"I'm sleepy when you say that, a lot of things happened today, just thinking about it makes people feel tired..."

"However, you have finally integrated into this city smoothly, and you have found a way to restore your strength. No matter how you look at it, it is a good sign. The future journey will definitely be smoother."

"Well... I won't talk anymore, I suddenly feel so sleepy that I can't keep my eyes open... So, good night, Ying."
