The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

As for Liyue, after producing the potions, there is also profit on each potion.

Business.

A good deal is one where both parties win.

Moreover. .

Mond does not have the conditions to produce large quantities of medicines. After all, the people of Mond are very free.

I want them to work in the factory every day...

hehe. . .

After figuring it out, Qin showed an expression of admiration on her face.

You know, the cement potion was only developed two days ago, which was when Eluta left, so Eluta didn't know anything about the cement potion.

But in this short period of time, Eluta thought of everything, not only taking into account the present, but also thinking about the future.

"Then how do we explain this to Timaus?" Qin asked.

"Timaeus?" A strange look appeared on Eluta's face. "Didn't he complete your commission very well?"

What this means is that he is the person who accepted the commission.

"Uh..." Qin was stunned. "Is it still possible?"

"If you feel bad, I have some books on biology and physics. You can bring them over next time. After giving them to Albedo, let him give Timaeus some pointers and give him a generous bonus. I believe he will be very happy."

Chapter 8 Eluta: Shall we go shopping?

For alchemists, inspiration is actually more important than pure money.

Although Timaeus is only an apprentice at present, he has good skills under Albedo and naturally has no shortage of money.

Not to mention sugar.

Just because they don't have money doesn't mean they really have no money. If Sucrose and Timaeus want to make money, they don't even need to make any alchemical items.

You only need to write a few papers and throw them into Xumi to make a lot of money.

You know, the alchemy taught by Albedo is closely related to Kanreya. Although it does not contain much knowledge, the related concepts will definitely be sought after by Xumi scholars.

Know how.

Born to be a treasure.

To Timaeus, knowledge from another world was more precious than money.

Hearing Eluta's exploitative words, Qin was more or less uncomfortable, but as a person who had been to Eluta's house, Qin knew deeply how precious the knowledge in Eluta's world was.

If Albedo were to see the books on the subjects that Eluta mentioned, he would probably want to get that knowledge in his hands no matter what the cost.

It’s just a pity that Albedo has been in the snowy mountains, and Jean wanted to contact Albedo, but couldn’t.

Otherwise, with Albedo around, this kind of thing would be much easier to discuss.

Of course, in Eluta's opinion, this was still Qin's little pretentiousness, and it was obviously not a particularly important matter...

"By the way, Eluta, what's the matter that brought you back this time?" Qin asked Eluta.

Qin has already gotten used to the fact that Eluta comes back from time to time.

I had clearly felt that after Eluta left, we wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time, and so I felt a little lonely.

But after Eluta left, he has come back twice in the past few days, and there is no feeling of having been to another world at all.

"Well... after I came back this time, I planned to go to Liyue with Ying, but there was a problem with my sword. You all know what my sword looks like now, so for the next battle, I plan to reforge my sword."

As Eluta spoke, a helpless look appeared on his face.

"But after I came back, I didn't see any ore in the market. After I got a general idea, I came here to ask you for some ore."

If possible, Eluta actually still wants to buy some ore himself, or go out and mine by himself.

When playing the game, Eluta is very clear about some fixed mining points.

For example, Guyun Pavilion and Benlang Territory.

But that is a game and this is reality. There is naturally a certain gap between the two. Eluta cannot guarantee that he can find an open-air mine.

So, it’s better to buy it.

"Don't you have any minerals or something like that, Eluta?"

After hearing what Eluta said, Qin showed a puzzled look on her face and looked at Ying strangely. Ying was behind Eluta, gesturing something to Qin.

After sensing it, Eluta turned his head to look at Ying, but found nothing. Ying was still sitting on the sofa, drinking tea quietly.

But when Eluta turned around and looked at Qin again, a look of realization appeared on Qin's face, and then she looked at Eluta apologetically and said.

"I'm sorry, Eluta. Due to the reconstruction of the city, many ores have been used up. Now the Knights only have the rocks that were transported from the Wind Dragon Ruins and are about to be transformed into cement ash."

Hearing what Qin said, Eluta also showed a distressed look.

Such a result was actually within Eluta's expectations. Eluta had already been mentally prepared. He knew that his sword could still be used if he did not use it at full strength.

But if you encounter an enemy that is too powerful, there will be nothing you can do.

But the situation is like this. Although there seems to be some conspiracy between Ying and Qin, Eluta did not feel deceived in Qin's words, so it should be true that the high-quality ore has been consumed.

Hmm... Even though I don't know what they are hiding from me.

"Ah..." Eluta sighed and was about to say something when Qin spoke.

"If Eluta and Ying, you two are not in a hurry to leave, you can actually wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow Liyue will deliver a batch of ore."

"This batch of ores is basically of very high quality. It is the order you placed at that time, Eluta. If you want to reforge your weapons, you can get them from here."

Hearing what Qin said, Eluta also remembered.

During the time when I helped Mond with its planning and development, after receiving compensation from Zhidong, I did place orders for some specialty products from various countries.

The original purpose was to conduct a transaction and inform other countries that Mond was actually very good and could be considered a transaction to handle diplomatic relations.

"That order, I didn't expect it to arrive tomorrow. How about we stay in Mond for a day?" Eluta looked at Ying.

"Well, let's stay in Mond today. I haven't had a good time in Mond until now. It's a good opportunity for me to play with you, Eluta, today."

Ying's expression was still calm at this time, but Eluta felt a kind of happiness from Ying, as if not leaving today was a very good thing for Ying.

Is it because you can go shopping with yourself?

Or is it because of what Ying and Qin are hiding from him?

'Strange fluorescence.'

"In that case..." Eluta looked at Qin, "Where is Miss Keqing usually? I want to talk to her."

"Ms. Keqing. Um..." Qin was about to answer, but saw Ying's unfriendly gaze, so she shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure. There are a lot of laborers dispatched from Liyue this time. Miss Keqing has been in Mondstadt to control the overall situation."

"As for where exactly Miss Keqing is, I don't know. If you want to find her, Eluta, you can walk around the city more."

Qin said so.

Eluta frowned slightly, because it seemed as if Qin was hiding something in her words.

"Is this also related to hiding something from me?"

Eluta had a strange feeling in his heart.

What Ying and Qin were plotting was not a bad thing. On the contrary, Eluta felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.

"Okay, let's go shopping?" Eluta looked at Ying.

Ying nodded.

"Ah."

Chapter 9 Ying: Why didn't you pull me up to the limit?

Go out shopping...

In fact, there is nothing much to see. After coming back, Eluta went to Mondstadt with Ying to look for ore.

Nowadays, Mondstadt's overall population has temporarily increased due to the manpower assistance from Liyue.

Most of the supplies on the market are consumed very quickly, and the market pressure has increased a lot compared to usual.

So, there is nothing worth buying on the streets.

That is to say, Mond has a lot of fruits and specialties, and many of them are prepared.

Otherwise, there would be nothing on the streets.

Because of this, the consumption of various supplies has increased, resulting in an increase in prices in the past two days. There are still many small stalls and vendors, but in the absence of many supplies, there are fewer street food stalls.

It is not yet noon. Although the Deer Hunter Restaurant is open, it is not officially open for business. Miss Sarah is preparing the ingredients needed for the day.

Eluta, Ying and Paimon saw Miss Sarah busy, looked at each other and prepared to leave.

"Ms. Sarah is very busy." Paimon felt very regretful.

"Yes, although I felt that there was a certain gap in Mondstadt's current material supply when I was looking for ore before, I didn't expect it to be so serious. Did Keqing bring many Liyue people with her?" Eluta was very confused about this.

Although Mondstadt is only the size of a city in its own world, its population density is not too high, and its daily supply reserves are not insufficient.

No matter how many Liyue people Keqing brings, it is impossible for them to exceed hundreds of thousands.

A few hundred or a few thousand people would already be considered a lot.

Although this number of people can be said to be not small, it definitely cannot put any pressure on Mond's business.

But now it seems...

Supplies in Mond seem to be in very short supply. When I passed by the grocery store just now, the prices there seemed to have increased by about 30% compared to usual.

so. .

Where did Mondstadt's supplies go? Could it be that someone was buying a large amount of supplies at this time to stockpile them and then sell them later?

Eluta was somewhat wary of this and asked Ying his own questions.

"No, Keqing didn't bring many people with her." Ying said, "I understand your idea, Eluta, but it's not like this."

"It's just simple. Because of the previous dragon disaster, the roads were blocked, so Mondstadt's supplies were originally relatively scarce. When you were here before, you only carried out Mondstadt's development plan, and did not officially start the development."

"So, the consumption rate of materials at that time was normal. Now that development has begun, the consumption rate of materials has begun to increase. The merchants who bought various materials from Mond are still on the way and have not returned. Therefore, the prices have become higher in the past two days."

"But it doesn't matter. Supplies will arrive in the city tomorrow. With a large amount of supplies arriving, prices will return to normal."

Ying explained softly.

"I see." Eluta understood that there was no one sabotaging in secret, but Qin still needed to pay a little attention.

Those who did not stockpile supplies in the past two days are most likely those businessmen with a certain foresight who did not return. We will wait until they come back.

There is a high possibility that after seeing the current prices in Mond, people will raise the prices of their own supplies. Some people may even simply hoard their supplies and wait until prices continue to rise.

Eluta is willing to believe that most people are kind, but when profit comes first, it is normal for some to become unscrupulous businessmen.

[Please give me three servings of mint jelly and three servings of wild mushroom chicken skewers.]

While Ying and Eluta were talking, Paimon had already run to a snack stand nearby and started placing an order.

Hearing Paimon's voice, Ying and Eluta looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

When they arrived at the snack stand, Eluta took out Mora to pay, and the three of them walked and chatted while holding the snacks.

"Come to think of it, Eluta, you seem to like Miss Keqing very much." Ying suddenly spoke up, "It's very rude to take pictures of someone right after you meet them."

"Um... well... I just couldn't help myself a little." Eluta said a little embarrassedly.

"Is that so? In the game, Miss Keqing has full life, and her relics and weapons are well configured, and her talents are all maxed out." Ying said faintly, "But I don't have any relics, and even my level is not maxed out. My breakthrough materials are given for free, but you, Eluta, have never used me."

Ying's voice was light, but it brought great pressure to Eluta.

"Ying, are you angry?" Eluta asked in a low voice.

"No." Ying smiled at Eluta.

"Then why are you looking at me with such a smile?" Eluta felt a chill on his back.

"Huh? What's wrong with my smile?" Ying still had a smile on her face, and it was a perfect smile.

"Hmm... nothing..." Eluta's intuition told her that it would be better not to pursue the matter.

However, necessary explanation is still very important.
