Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare
Chapter 44 Preparing
The first step in preparing for the ceremony is to prepare the finest night stones of quality worthy of the gods.
Zhongli led the group of travelers to a jade shop with familiarity.
The shop owner was very smart and set up a gambling activity against the bottom line of the Qianyan Army. If you spend a little money to buy the uncut stones in the shop, you might get precious gems.
Spend a small amount of money, with your own vision and luck, and you may be able to get a return of dozens or even hundreds of times!
As for whether more customers make money or lose money, the answer is self-evident when you see the boss happily counting the Moras.
"Welcome to Jie Cui Hang," the chubby boss came up to greet them warmly, "Would you like to try your luck with a few rough stones?"
The boss' tone was full of temptation, "It's cheap and fun, maybe you'll get rich before you know it."
Zhongli interrupted the bad boss's illegal operation and said directly: "Boss, we want the Night Stone, the quality must be at least Candlelight Grade."
A candle-level night-mooring stone? !
The fat boss was surprised and realized that he had met someone who knew the business.
The fat boss took out three samples of Yebo Stone with a smile, "So you are not a tourist. Excuse me, hahaha. I will get the goods right away. Please have a look."
"How do you think of these? We at Jie Cui Hang are a time-honored jade brand. Look at the quality! They are absolutely top-notch." The fat boss boasted, "They are simply a rare gift from the Rock King. Feel free to choose whatever you like."
These three types of Yebo Stone raw materials are indeed very beautiful, much better than the ones randomly displayed in the store as samples.
But the traveler team had no idea which one to choose, and they all turned their attention to Zhongli.
After all, Mr. Zhongli seems to be knowledgeable and very experienced.
"Oh? You want me to decide? Okay." Zhongli turned to his boss after receiving the pleading gaze. His answer was always - "Boss, I want them all."
The fat boss couldn't stop smiling, and he kept saying nice things to Zhongli, praising him, "Sir, I've long seen that you are a man of great bearing and you are really generous..."
"Wait, what he just said doesn't count! Let's discuss it again!" Paimeng interrupted the fat boss's boasting and pulled everyone to a small corner.
Although it was the young master who provided the funds, Paimeng would never allow such waste!
Paimon, who was very careful with his budget and thrifty, said in a low voice: "If you only need one kind of ritual, wouldn't it be a waste of three times the Mora if you buy all of them? Once you get used to spending lavishly, you will no longer be able to control your spending."
Doing this will lead the child astray! Paimon, who was responsible for guiding Su's values, looked at Zhongli with a condemning look.
Watching this scene, Su sighed in his heart: Paimeng’s math is really bad. I’m really curious about what her math teacher does for a living.
Kong reminded quietly: "It's actually a waste of twice as much." They were going to buy one anyway.
"A waste of Mora... um..." Zhongli showed a surprised and distressed expression, "Indeed, I didn't think of this aspect just now. I didn't think it through."
Paimon, who is not good at math but has great values, pressed on: "How can you buy things without considering Mora? You should not spend unnecessary money if you can."
Su, who is a big spender, only buys necessities and never wastes anything! This is all thanks to Paimeng's good teaching!
Zhongli nodded, acknowledging Paimeng's words, and then mentioned a trick he knew to distinguish the quality of Yebo Stone.
Yebo Stone is a strange stone used for night lighting, and brightness is the most important thing.
But no matter the quality of the raw ore, the texture, color and internal rock patterns will not be much different. Only when the objects made of Yebo Stone are formed, will it be found that some of the finished products are not presentable at all.
High-quality night stone has a better affinity with the element of fire. Therefore, the brighter and bluer the ore is at high temperatures, the better its appearance.
"Oh - it turns out Mr. Zhongli is such an expert!" Paimeng was surprised, but then he became speechless after thinking about it.
I clearly know how to tell the difference, but I was too lazy to make the effort before. Is this the refined life of elegant people?
"I have told you the priceless secret of the jade world. The rest will be up to you." Zhongli waited quietly on the side.
Paimon excitedly went to the fat boss and asked to borrow his stone to try out this little trick.
The fat boss was surprised but decisively refused. What if it was burnt? Even if it wasn’t burnt, would he be able to sell this stone that was burnt black?
Sora changed his approach and asked for some samples.
"This..." The boss hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed when he thought of the money he would make. He took samples from each of the three stones and said, "I'll take a small loss, but I'll just consider it as making friends."
If the fat boss says it’s a small loss, then it really is a small loss.
The slices of stone he cut were so thin that light could almost penetrate them.
Su put the stone in front of his eyes and could vaguely see the figures of Zhongli, Kong and Paimon.
Kong, who was an expert swordsman himself, said admiringly: "The boss's skills are truly admirable."
It took him a lot of effort to cut the meat like this when cooking, let alone the hard and brittle ore.
The boss smiled proudly, "Thank you very much, these stones are my treasures. If I accidentally cut too many of them, it will really cost me my life."
Su Ze decisively bought the box and returned the pearl: "Boss, the knife is very good, do you want to sell it?"
Su had reason to suspect that the knife in the boss's hand was a five-star weapon that could cut stone and jade as easily as cutting meat.
However, the knife that the fat boss took out was just an ordinary stone-cutting knife, so the real strength lies in the boss's craftsmanship and his stingy heart.
Although the sample was successfully obtained, the look of it is so bad that it would probably be reduced to ashes in just a few flicks of the flame, let alone burning it.
Zhongli also sighed: "To ask a businessman to give up his profits is like asking a hungry wolf to spit out the meat it has just eaten."
Even he didn't expect that the boss had such skills.
Finally, Zhongli updated the plan, "While applying the high temperature of fire, use the elemental power of water to protect it, so that the sample will not be burned instantly. In this way, these slices will be enough."
The traveler team nodded and understood. Boiled stone chips.
Kong took out a travel stove, poured water and lit it. As a skilled and talented chef, Kong controlled the water temperature and the heat just right.
I didn't expect that the preparations would be so troublesome at the beginning. I don't know if the pot that was used to cook Yebo Stone can still be used. I must ask the young master to reimburse me for the money to buy a new stove.
The three pieces of stone tumbling in the pot gradually lit up, and the one numbered three was obviously brighter than the other two samples.
Now that they had reached a conclusion, a group of people went to the fat boss again to buy the Yebo Stone.
"This is the type of Night Stone No. 3," Zhongli said, "Take a box."
"Okay." The fat boss happily carried out a box of goods. After hesitating for a while, he asked the question he had always been curious about. "By the way... customers, don't blame me for being nosy. I'm just curious. What do you want so many top-quality Yebo stones for?"
