Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

"That damn stinky guarantor must be hiding something funny."

Paimon stamped his feet angrily, and his cape rolled up starlight around Famas.

The young man leaned back on a wooden chair with his chin supported by one hand, his earrings swaying slightly as he hummed and laughed. He did not let go even though the elf tinkled the celadon teacup.

On the other side of the round table, Tartaglia's cobalt blue eyes moved between her brother and Zhongli. Suddenly, she leaned over and rubbed Tok's furry head, introducing Zhongli at the table to Tok.

"Tok, this Mr. Zhongli is my brother's guide in Liyue." The young executive's voice was filled with unprecedented fondness. "Mr. Zhongli knows everything."

Tok's deep blue eyes suddenly lit up, and the last few rays of setting sun floated in through the window frame, which was still a little leaky, stretching the child's cheerful figure.

"Great! My brother has so many friends!"

Tok fluttered to the wooden chair like a happy little bird, and took out seven or eight colorfully painted mechanical dolls from his pocket with a jingle, and finally grabbed an iron one-eyed Xiaobao toy and stuffed it into Zhongli's palm.

He had only been in Liyue for a few days, but he had already met so many of his brother's friends.

My brother is indeed the best toy salesman in the winter!

"First, turn the spring ten times!" The child stood on tiptoe to reach Mr. Keqing's dangling amber cufflinks, with sweat dripping from the tip of his nose. "Then press here, and the one-eyed little treasure will be able to do the hill dance! Sister Dongnia taught me last time, and the little treasure can also..."

When Zhongli lowered his eyes, there was a faint glint of gold between his brows. In the mist of tea fragrance, the silk ribbon that tied the hair of the guest official of the Hall of Rebirth brushed against Toke's rosy cheek, startling the child so much that he giggled and shrank back.

Mr. Keqing's fingertips stroked the hundreds of mechanisms hidden in the joints of the one-eyed little treasure, and he was also amazed by the ingenuity contained in the toy.

"Such an exquisite Yanshu creation must be very expensive, right?"

The tail end of Zhongli's voice had the gentle texture of a jade halberd, but his gaze penetrated the curling tea mist and fell on the evil eye with dark patterns hidden at the waist of the orange-haired young man.

As far as Zhongli knew, such exquisite toys could probably only be made by those watchmakers in Fontaine who were good at studying mechanics. However, the salary standards of these watchmakers were enough to make the wealthy businessmen in Liyue Port astonished.

Not to mention condensing so many mechanical circuits into a toy that is only the size of a palm.

However, considering the financial resources and means of the Fatui, it would not be difficult to ask the watchmaker of Fontaine to make a small toy.

"As long as Tok likes it."

Tartaglia's fingertips were circling her brother's ahoge hair. She nodded when she heard what he said, and Toque also puffed out his chest proudly.

"Of course, my brother is the best toy salesman in the Kingdom of Winter!"

The conversation here naturally fell into Paimon's ears. The little guy Paimon suddenly hovered under the cracked beam of the house and pointed his finger at the Fatui emblem on Tartaglia's chest: "By the way, I suddenly remembered something..."

"What's with Tok saying his brother is a 'toy salesman'? You're not an executive of the Fatui..."

Just as Paimon was about to expose Tartaglia's name, a harsh sound of wood rubbing against the floor suddenly came from beside everyone.

When I looked back, I saw that Wendy had deliberately moved the chair, obviously to cover for Tartaglia.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, just continue."

The young poet smiled with his white teeth and nudged Famas next to him with his elbow.

Tartaglia then rubbed the tip of her nose with her fingers, and her orange hair brushed against her earrings.

"Ahem, um...ah! You mean that..." The young executive turned his back to Toke, put his index finger in front of his lips, and explained in a deliberately low voice: "Because in the eyes of children, selling toys is the most enviable job, right?"

Tok was standing on tiptoe next to Zhongli, showing off his mechanical doll, not paying too much attention to what was happening around him. Tartaglia's eyes reflected her brother's excited back, and her knuckles unconsciously stroked the dagger hidden in her belt.

"Besides, I don't want my family to be exposed to the dark side of the Fatui... or the Kingdom of Winter."

"Although my older brothers and sisters all know that I work for the Queen, in the eyes of my youngest brother... I am still the best outsourced toy salesman in Winter!" When mentioning the title he made up, Tartaglia's voice was noticeably louder.

However, under the gaze of the Traveler and Paimon, the warrior who had always been fearless still seemed a little guilty. When he met Tok's blue eyes, he turned into a warm northern honey syrup: "Ahem, temporarily affiliated with the Liyue Toy Research Institute!"

Hearing this, Tok raised his head proudly and held up the toy to show off to the travelers:

"That's right! My brother is awesome! He's a good friend of One-Eyed Little Treasure!"

Tartaglia smiled and touched Tok's head covered with a fur hat, and begged everyone present to keep it a secret. Then, as if remembering something, he pinched the Ruins Guard Factory Pass in his pocket and turned to ask the guest beside him:

"Mr. Zhongli, I heard there will be a circus performance at Tiger Rock tonight?"

The young executive's suddenly raised voice startled the copper bell on the eaves. Amid the tinkling sound, Zhongli's celadon teacup rested at his lips, and the floating tea leaves in the cup swayed gently with the ripples in the water.

The Emperor's eyes swept across Tartaglia's taut knuckles, and then fell on the squeaking mechanical treasure in Tok's hand.

"The new play "The People's War Against the Sky" by Yunhan Society will indeed begin at 10:00 p.m."

When Zhongli put down the teacup, the celadon and sandalwood knocked against each other. His amber-like eyes swept over Famas, and his words were sharp but contained a smile.

"The play tells the story of how the people of Liyue and the immortals work together to resist the demon god. It is worth watching."

The exchange of words between Zhongli and Tartaglia left the Traveler and Paimon confused. Although Famas understood the hidden meaning behind their words, he was too lazy to argue with Zhongli and just clicked his tongue impatiently.

Instead, Tok grabbed Zhongli's sleeve and kept yelling, his little leather boots making a thudding sound on the floor.

"Eh?! Drama? Is that the kind of drama that my brother mentioned in his letter where someone would breathe fire?"

As soon as the word "flame-breathing" came out of Tok's mouth, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Although fire-breathing is also a kind of folk acrobatics in Liyue, even travelers know that the famous actors of the Yunhan Society mentioned by Zhongli only sang elegant dramas with humming and humming, which probably has nothing to do with fire-breathing.

However, Tartaglia, who lacked common sense of Liyue culture, obviously did not think so. Seeing that Toke's interest had been aroused, she nodded and said, "Yes! That's the kind of play!"

"Since Toke wants to watch it, could you please take him to Liyue Harbor to watch the show?"

As Tartaglia spoke, he clasped his hands together and begged the Traveler, FAMAS, and Zhongli.

"Hey! We finally found you, and now you want to entrust Toque to us?"

Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily.

In order to find a brother who claimed to sell toys, she and the traveler had been searching from morning to night. Now, she hasn't even had a bite of food, and she has to be a nanny for Tok again?

"Haha, you have to give me some time to prepare surprises for you and my brother."

The young executive officer scratched the back of his head in a playful manner, thinking to himself that he would explore the Doctor's ruins guard laboratory alone.

He knew very well that the abandoned factory was filled with the remains of the ruins guards that had failed to be transformed. Even though the building was deserted, the out-of-control self-assembly assembly line was still running.

Tok had finally come to Liyue, and since he wanted to visit the "Toy Research Institute", Tartaglia had to eliminate all hidden dangers first.

FAMAS tilted his head and stared at Tartaglia's fingers stroking the pass, a gleam of light flashing in his dark red eyes.

He could naturally guess what Tartaglia wanted to do, but what the other party didn't know was that there were probably only a few tilling machines left in the doctor's factory. After all, most of these machines had already been transferred away by the lady to support the war in Liyue Harbor.

It seems that Tartaglia is really being ostracized by his colleagues in the action team, and he doesn't even know such simple information. (End of this chapter)
