"Mr. Zhongli is joking."

Rhodes echoed, and then said: "Mr. Zhongli, I have to say something first. Xumi really needs me. After using the Heart of God tomorrow, I still want to go back as soon as possible. As for Guiliyuan, I will formulate a plan based on my previous experience in desert management. You want to find someone to try it out. If it doesn't work, I will go to Nashida to discuss it together."

Nashida's dream simulator is very useful.

All that is needed is a soil sample from Guiliyuan. If Aru Village’s experience in desert control at that time is not useful, she will have to conduct simulated planting in her dreams to find a solution.

"Sorry for bothering you, little friend."

Zhongli did not try his best to keep Rhodes like he did in the Qun Yu Pavilion. After thanking him, he stopped talking about Guiliyuan and started chatting about other things.

Unlike Wendy's.

Zhongli looks like a steady and serious person, but he actually likes to play tricks on people. He plays tricks on people in a serious manner and you can't tell that he is actually teasing you.

Especially his yin and yang words, which were so authentic.

His yin-yang target was also very clear, which was to play dumb and try to tease Wendy, who liked to do nothing.

A verbal battle between the two gods.

This really made Rhodes very upset.

It would be fine if he didn’t know the conversation between Wendy and Zhongli that outsiders couldn’t understand at all.

But he understood everything.

This state of wanting to laugh but having to hold it back is really uncomfortable.

The three of them walked through the downtown area, turned the corner, and finally stopped in a quiet alley in front of a secluded building with a plaque that read "Wangsheng Hall".

After this day's chat.

It was almost dark when they arrived at the Hall of the Dead.

However, people are still coming and going inside and outside the Hall of Rebirth.

It's different from other places.

Most of these people were very quiet. Even if they had to speak, they would lower their voices, as if they were afraid of disturbing someone.

Hall of Rebirth.

The leader of Liyue’s funeral industry.

Although in Liyue's customs, people who do this job will always be criticized as unlucky.

But funerals are, after all, the last dignity for mortals.

No matter how much ordinary people dislike being around the employees of the Hall of Rebirth, they dare not say anything excessive.

Especially when it is your family’s turn to handle the funeral.

They would even show an enthusiasm never before and try to get close to the ceremonial officials in the Hall of the Dead in the hope of reducing some fees.

There are many aspects to traditional funerals.

There are strict rules for the wake, burial methods, memorial tablets and other aspects.

And the ability of the Wangsheng Hall.

No matter the deceased's social status or wealth, they can be given a funeral that suits their status. Since the establishment of the Wangsheng Hall, there has never been a mistake.

This reputation also makes the Wangsheng Hall still the first choice for Liyue people to handle funeral matters even though its fees are high.

Of course.

With so many rules, it is natural that instructors who understand the rules are needed to teach newcomers.

Zhongli, who is well versed in all kinds of rules and etiquette and is very good at lecturing, is the most respected lecturer in the Wangsheng Hall and also the highest paid guest official in the Wangsheng Hall.

This can be seen from the endless stream of greetings of "Guest Zhongli" as soon as Zhongli entered the door.

Rhodes looked around curiously.

He originally thought that a place like Wangshengtang, which is in the funeral business, would have funeral supplies all over the floor, but at least it would have to park a few coffins for people to inspect.

As a result, he didn't see any funeral mercenaries in the places he and Zhongli passed by, but there were quite a few ceremonial officers wearing the uniforms of the Hall of the Reborn, and there were also a few people who came to handle funerals.

Under the guidance of Zhongli.

Rod and Wendy followed him to the backyard of the Wangsheng Hall and went straight to a small courtyard with plum trees.

As soon as Zhongli knocked on the door, a girl in dark clothes poked her head out.

"Hall Master."

Zhongli hadn't finished speaking yet.

The girl jumped out suddenly, holding a thick stack of bills in her hand and raised it up: "Zhongli Keqing, this month's bill is out. Counting the previous account in the Wangsheng Hall, you are almost overdrawn for next year's salary. You have overdrawn so much Mora, shouldn't you go to work properly?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 216 The operation failed!

Hu Tao, the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall, was also Zhongli's immediate superior when he was wandering in the mortal world. She is a beautiful and eccentric girl.

She looks like she's going to ask for the money aggressively.

Rhodes and Wendy took a step back in unison.

At the same time, Rhodes looked at Zhongli with confusion.

Forget Wendy.

This guy really has no money and doesn't like to act like a god. If he is not in Mondstadt or singing on weekdays, he can't even take out a Mora.

In fact.

Wendy didn't like being treated like a god. On the contrary, he preferred those people who knew his identity to treat him like a friend, rather than requiring him to perform formal formalities as other believers did when they met gods.

The only privilege he accepted was free drinks.

However, the situations of Zhongli and Venti are different.

As the creator of Mora, he was still the Rock God Morax at that time. As long as he wanted to use the money, he could easily create a lot of Mora. It was not like Zhongli would no longer exercise the right to mint coins after leaving office, so how could he owe such a large sum of Mora.

the other side.

Zhongli was still calmly explaining to Hu Tao: "I have some personal matters that I haven't finished dealing with recently, but once I'm done with them, I'll come to deal with the work in the hall."

"Humph~"

"Then you better hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to pay the bills you've put up outside."

Walnut curled her lips, then looked at Rhode and Wendy and said, "Are these two your friends, Keqing?"

"This is Rhodes, from Xumi, a scholar."

"This is Wendy, from Mondstadt, a bard."

Zhongli introduced Rhode and Wendy's names and identities to Hu Tao, and then said, "They will stay in the Wangsheng Hall for the next few days and need two guest rooms. I came here to discuss this with you, the Hall Master."

"Oh, no problem, you can arrange it yourself."

"Guest friends are our friends at Wangsheng Hall. There's no need to be so polite. Just feel like you're home here."

"By the way, have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll treat you."

Hu Tao stroked his chin and pondered: "I think there's no room at Xinyue Pavilion right now. Let's go to Wanmin Hall or Sun Erniang. It's getting late now, so there probably won't be many people there."

"We've already eaten."

"The Hall Master doesn't have to spend any money."

After saying this, Zhongli said, "I will take them to rest first. You should also go to bed early and stop staying up late."

"Oh~ I know~"

Hu Tao did not show any impatience towards Zhongli's thoughtful advice, but just smiled and said: "Then the guest official should go and rest first, and the guest official's friends should also go~~~"

On the way to the guest room.

Rhode couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "How come Mr. Zhongli owes so much money? Aren't you?"

talking.

Rhodes rubbed his fingers together, secretly pointing out that Zhongli was able to create Mora by himself.

However, Zhongli did not seem to understand what Rhode meant, and answered irrelevantly, "It was just that I happened to see a piece of wood carving with excellent quality last month, so I bought it."

"what?"

Rhodes was surprised and asked, "You owe more than a year's salary for just one wood carving?"

"Hehe, he has a very picky eye."

"If he likes something, it must be valuable and worth the money."

Wendy was laughing beside her.

It looked like he was explaining for Zhongli.

It's just that his half-smiley expression doesn't seem like he is saying anything good.

Considering the fact that Zhongli once spent a lot of money to buy some flashy things.

Rhodes was absolutely certain that the bad guy Wendy was definitely making fun of Zhongli.

As for why Zhongli did not make Mora himself, but chose to use his overdrawn salary to charge the bill to Wangsheng Hall to buy things.

Looking at Zhongli's eyes, Rhodes roughly guessed it.

It’s not that you can’t.

But don't want to.

You should know that there is no other currency in Teyvat, only the Mora system.

in other words.

This is the trust that other gods have in Zhongli, otherwise not all countries would use this currency, thus avoiding hidden dangers such as economic wars between different currencies.

Then as the creator of Mora and the founder of the Mora system.

Zhongli must always adhere to the principle of not destroying the Mora system.

This also means.

Except for Liyue's mint, the Golden House, even Zhongli, who is known as the God of Geo, cannot create Mora casually to disrupt the market economy.

Don't underestimate the harm caused by hundreds of thousands of Moras.

If Zhongli has no principles and creates Mora for his own consumption, over time, a large number of Mora that do not belong to the Golden House will appear on the market.

This could easily have a devastating impact on Teyvat's economic system.

"Mr. Zhongli, I was rude just now."

Arriving at the door of the guest room, Rhodes apologized for what he had just said.

"It's okay, as long as you understand."

Zhongli nodded and agreed with Rhodes on a time: "After breakfast tomorrow, we will go back to Guiliyuan."

Make an appointment.

He turned around and went back to his room, and Rhodes also went into the guest room to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day, when Rhodes opened his eyes, he heard a brisk piano sound.

The sound is not annoying, but rather makes people feel refreshed and washes away the feeling of fatigue.

After a while.

Rhodes was still washing up when he heard the sound of conversation coming from the yard.

"Yeah, this is my first time listening to a Mondstadt bard. It's really good."

"He is the best bard in Mondstadt."

"You're wrong. I'm the best bard in all of Teyvat!"

"Hey! You're so amazing! When you and the guest official are done with your work, how about you come to our Wangsheng Hall to perform for a while if you have time?"
