But immediately after that, one sentence from Baizhu made Paimon's heart leap into her throat again.
"Three million Mora."
"Top quality."
Baizhu looked at them with a gentle smile.
"How much?!"
Paimon's eyes widened.
"Three million?!"
Lumine was also stunned and placed her hands on her hips.
"Why don't you just go rob the Golden House instead?"
"Well… the Golden House has been requisitioned by the Qixing recently."
"So it might be harder to rob than usual."
Paimon crossed her arms with a sarcastic expression.
"Three million Mora?!"
"Even if I had that much, how could a single stick of incense cost so much?!"
Xuehua also looked shocked in her livestream.
[He could just rob people, but instead he chose to open a shop]
[That's way too expensive]
"Is it coming?"
At that moment, Qiu Nian quietly glanced at Zhongli.
He was waiting for a certain legendary moment.
He was already starting to smile.
"Hmm… three million…"
"At first glance, it doesn't seem like much."
"But by common reasoning, it is indeed somewhat difficult."
Zhongli thought for a moment with one hand on his chin, then spread his hands calmly.
"Hahahahaha!"
"I don't know why but I really want to laugh."
Xuehua completely lost her composure.
["Three million"]
["Common reasoning"]["Not much"][The three above are trying to make me laugh to death]
[Lord of Common Reasoning]
[Zhongli is so adorably clueless]
"That's way too much Mora!"
"There's no way we can pay that!"
"And Mr. Zhongli definitely can't either, right?"
Paimon asked helplessly.
Zhongli answered very straightforwardly.
"Indeed."
[He really said it]
[Why is his answer so decisive?]
[Why is Zhongli suddenly so cute]
"What about you, Qiu Nian?"
Paimon turned toward him.
"Why do you think I live in Jueyun Karst?"
Qiu Nian sighed helplessly.
Paimon froze and covered her forehead.
"Why do you think I live in Jueyun Karst? Hahaha!"
Xuehua laughed while clapping.
[Answer: Because he's broke]
[Qiu Nian: If life weren't forcing me, who would live somewhere that remote?]
"These two guys…"
"What do we do now…?"
Paimon sighed.
"I guess we'll have to ask Childe for help again…"
"Yeah…"
"That's the only option."
Lumine rubbed her forehead with a headache.
[Lumine is carrying this entire group]
[Why are these two men so poor?!]
About twenty minutes later—
"Hahahahahaha!"
The moment Childe appeared at the entrance of Bubu Pharmacy, he burst into laughter.
"Cocogoat… cocogoat!"
"Hahaha! This is too funny!"
"You guys actually got fooled by something like that!"
He laughed so hard that he had to hold his stomach, nearly crying.
"Go ahead… laugh…"
"When you realize you've been played by Morax and La Signora, I'll laugh back at you."
Qiu Nian looked at him with a strange smile.
"Hey! Don't gloat!"
Paimon scolded him angrily.
"Ah, my sides hurt from laughing."
"Well then—since you made me so happy…"
"I'll solve the problem."
Childe waved his hand casually.
Then he looked at Baizhu.
"You must be Boss Baizhu, right?"
"I am a Fatui Harbinger—Tartaglia."
"If this deal works out, perhaps we can cooperate more in the future."
"If Bubu Pharmacy needs it, the Fatui can establish a fast coconut milk supply line."
Childe proposed.
"We've heard the Fatui like to recruit useful allies."
"But can Bubu Pharmacy really be bought with just coconut milk?"
The white snake around Baizhu's neck said disdainfully.
At the mention of coconut milk—
Qiqi suddenly ran over to Baizhu.
"Coconut milk… coconut milk."
"Mr. Bai… coconut milk."
She looked up at him with bright, hopeful eyes.
"Ahhh! My heart can't take this!"
Xuehua clutched her chest.
[Buy it for her! Buy it for her!]
"Alright, alright…"
Baizhu nodded indulgently.
"Then thank you, Mr. Childe."
"May our future cooperation be pleasant."
"As for the Everlasting Incense…"
"I'll give you a discount."
"Two million nine hundred ninety thousand Mora."
Baizhu said kindly.
"What difference is there between three million and two million nine hundred ninety thousand?!"
Paimon shouted.
At that moment—
Qiu Nian had already turned to look at Zhongli in advance.
"Hmm… two million nine hundred ninety thousand…"
"At first glance, it doesn't seem like much."
"But by common reasoning, it is indeed ten thousand less than three million."
Zhongli concluded thoughtfully.
"…Please stop talking."
Qiu Nian said with a speechless expression.
You're really doing this again?
"There it is again!"
"How can he say such silly things with such a serious face?"
"Look at Qiu Nian's expression!"
Xuehua laughed even harder.
[Round two]
[Peak nonsense philosophy]
[Even Qiu Nian is speechless]
[Please stop talking Zhongli hahaha]
"Well then, since everything has been settled…"
"We should return to Yujing Terrace."
"Mr. Childe, Boss Baizhu, little Qiqi—until we meet again."
With that, Zhongli led Qiu Nian, Lumine, and Paimon out of Bubu Pharmacy.
The scene shifted to Childe, who had just finished paying and stepped outside.
"What an interesting group of people…"
"I haven't laughed like this in a long time."
Childe chuckled to himself.
"Now then…"
"Before I arrived here…"
"You who have been lurking for quite some time—did you hear anything?"
He suddenly turned his gaze toward the pillar beside the entrance.
