Chapter 117 The Land of Inviting Immortals Sends Immortals Away
Zhongli waved his arm with great enthusiasm and said, "Boss, I want them all."
Kong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, Paimeng's face was full of shock, and Mo Ran already knew the result, so he rolled his eyes and remained speechless.
Shitou patted his chest and sighed, "Great! Sir, I've long seen that you are a man of extraordinary character and you are really generous."
"Wait." Paimon stopped immediately. Although she was not spending her own Mora, she still felt it was a loss. "Hey, if the ritual only requires one, wouldn't it be a waste of three times the Mora if we bought them all?"
Kong Leng corrected him: "No, it's actually twice as much."
Mo Ran didn't seem to have changed at all, and said calmly, "You'll get used to it. Mr. Zhongli always does things that are beyond the ordinary. But I think that he must have a serious illness if he behaves this way!"
Mo Ran deliberately slowed down his speech, and when others thought he would say something like a compliment, he made a sudden turn, earning Zhongli's eye roll and Paimeng's covering-mouth smirk.
Zhongli spread his hands and said, "Mr. Mo Ran has said too much. This is not good. Let's get back to the point. There is no need to worry about the Mora matter. The young master will take action to solve it, so it's okay to buy them all."
Paimon was surprised and said, "Ah! How can you buy things without considering Mora?"
Zhongli remained calm, as if it was a matter of course, and said, "If we have to consider Mora in everything, it is equivalent to being bound by Mora in everything."
As Paimon looked puzzled, Zhongli continued, "Mora is naturally currency, but currency is not naturally Mora."
Paimon was even more confused, so Mo Ran helped translate, "Zhongli meant that Mora is money, but before Mora was born, there were also transactions. At that time, people bartered, which was also considered a kind of business exchange."
"In short, when he goes shopping, he will definitely not bring Mora with him!" Mo Ran added.
Zhongli folded his hands and said calmly: "The introduction is good, but the conclusion doesn't match up. What do you think, Traveler?"
Kong said: "It seems that you are very rich, but Mo Ran said that you don't have Mora."
Zhongli nodded slightly, and Mo Ran tore off his last cover and said with a smile: "From a universal point of view, Mr. Zhongli is indeed rich now, but it may not be the case tomorrow!"
Zhongli did not respond. Perhaps he knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes. He turned around and said, "Boss, pack up all the candlelight-level night stones! Send the bill to the Northland Bank."
Even Shi Tou, who had been in the business world for a long time, was stunned. After making sure that he had heard correctly, he said in a trembling voice, "Okay...Okay, but please forgive me for saying one thing, what do you want so many top-grade Night Moor Stones for?"
Zhongli said: "It's okay to say it, it's used to make the tools to send the Immortal Dianyi."
"Send an immortal?" Shitou was shocked, even more than when he just took on this big business. "Speaking of which, I have heard a lot of gossip recently, but I dare not ask too much. The old man, Lord Yan..."
"Alas, although Jie Cui Hang has declined a bit now, our ancestors have always been grateful for the protection of Prince Yan. It is said that two hundred years ago, Prince Yan went to the south of the city in disguise and tasted street snacks when he got lost. He used the jade spoon of Jie Cui Hang."
Shitou held his forehead and said sadly: "It's all in the past, it's all in the past. Alas... since it's for farewell to Lord Yan, I'll charge you only half the price for this box of Night Mooring Stones!"
Paimon was speechless and said, "Is it really possible?"
Shitou looked nostalgic and said, "Without Lord Yan's protection, this trading city wouldn't be what it is today. As a businessman, how could I make this kind of money?"
Paimon was infected with a little sadness and said, "Boss, your thoughts will definitely be conveyed to Lord Yan."
Mo Ran continued, "Well, if the Emperor knew about this, he would surely cry. Although the Emperor is gone, Liyue is full of traces of the Emperor, which cannot be erased or forgotten."
"From now on, the legend of the Emperor will need to be passed down orally. This is also Liyue's tradition, a tradition that is passed down from generation to generation and will never be extinguished."
"However, there's no need for half price." Mo Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled, not missing any opportunity to send a bill to Northland Bank.
Zhongli said solemnly: "With the joint efforts of the Liyue Seven Stars and all the down-to-earth businessmen, I believe Liyue will continue to prosper as before."
Sora also consoled him, "Cheer up."
Shitou exhaled a breath of foul air and said with a forced smile: "Well, thank you all, sir. What am I doing crying? My fortune is slipping away."
Zhongli looked at the three people who were traveling with him and said, "Now that we have made our selection, let's take the Night Stone and go..."
Paimon interrupted, "Wait, Zhongli, is it true that you don't have Mora on you?"
Zhongli nodded and said, "Indeed not."
The traveler Kong's golden hair shone brightly under the light. Puzzlement appeared on the boy's handsome face, and he asked, "Are there any people in Liyue who don't care about Mora?" As he spoke, he looked at the man in black clothes in the opposite direction.
Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "I've already said that Mr. Zhongli is extraordinary and otherworldly. How can we judge him by common sense? Although Mr. Zhongli is poor and incorruptible, it is not clear whether he has nothing at home, but he is the most simple and natural Liyue person, without any smell of money!"
"Why do you think Mr. Zhongli always likes to wander the streets, facing the northwest wind?"
Zhongli covered the mouth of the man in black, looked at the blond boy, and said, "Let's send the Night Stone to Yujing Terrace first. That's the venue I reserved."
At Yujing Terrace, a group of four people stood there, and there was a famous jeweler who came here, "Boss Mo, these are the Yebo stones, right? They are all of the best quality! Just leave them to me without worry."
Mo Ran nodded and said, "Let's pay the balance now. As for the bill, just send it to Northland Bank. Someone there will pay it for me."
"Okay." The jeweler bowed his head and respectfully saw them off.
Paimon exclaimed, "Mo Ran, your face is really useful. The man just now looked like a famous jeweler in Liyue Harbor. You actually said before that you were an unknown businessman. You are really too modest."
Mo Ran shook his head and said calmly: "This is not modesty. I am indeed an unknown businessman, but I am more popular in Liyue."
Paimon said thoughtfully, "Could this be the five virtues of gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality and modesty that have been passed down in Liyue since ancient times?"
Zhongli sighed, "Liyue does have these five good qualities, but the God of Dust, who created the etiquette system, is now nowhere to be seen. This is the ups and downs of the world."
"As for what Mr. Mo Ran said about his unknown status, it is not wrong. There was an unwritten rule in the Liyue Port business world that those who own no more than five shops will not leave their names in the business world."
"From this point of view, Mr. Mo Ran is indeed an unknown businessman."
Paimon scratched his head, not quite believing it. The blond boy Kong was also lost in thought, not believing this statement at all. Mo Ran shrugged and said with a smile: "Anyway, I do think so. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Paimeng swayed his body, looked around, and said, "By the way, is this the venue for the meeting of the Immortals' Canon?"
Zhongli nodded and said, "Well, I have already rented this venue and started preparing for the ceremony."
Kong said worriedly, "It's the same place as the meeting place for the Immortal Ceremony."
“This is also tacitly agreed by the Liyue Seven Stars,” Zhongli explained.
Mo Ran looked at the rolling sea of clouds in the sky and suddenly said with emotion: "There is an old saying in Liyue, where you come from, you leave from there, I hope to have a beginning and an end, and be consistent."
"I'm preparing for the Immortal Canon here. The Emperor must be very pleased! Oh, if possible, I really want the Emperor to stay with Liyue for another thousand years, and experience the feeling of walking with the gods again!"
Mo Ran suddenly lowered his head and exhaled slowly, "Now Liyue is like Mondstadt, a place without gods. I hope the people of Liyue will not be as greedy as the residents of neighboring countries."
“Otherwise, the Emperor would have to lift the lid of his coffin and run back to Liyue Harbor to recreate the legendary war between the gods and demons that shook the heavens and the earth a thousand years ago!”
Zhongli curled his lips and didn't respond.
Paimon and Kong just felt that this black-clothed Liyue man was too obsessed with the Rock God. He even kept muttering about it. It must be that someone in his ancestors had been protected by the Emperor.
